The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"Ah!" The middle-aged servant woman instinctively exhaled out of the shock and coldness that sent chills down her spine, as if being stared at by a fierce tiger.

Gu Qi curled up his lips and sneered, looked away and didn't look at her anymore, but Liu Qingshan heard the movement and followed the voice, and when he saw the servant, he frowned slightly, with a bit of displeasure on his face.

After the two of them crossed the corridor at the corner, Liu Qingshan asked: "Did Mrs. Fang embarrass you just now?"

"Not really." Gu Qi shook his head.Although the look in the servant girl's eyes and the expression on her face really made people feel uncomfortable, but it's really hard to say it was embarrassing.

"That's the woman that the old lady asked the Yu family to send. It's very troublesome." Liu Qingshan spat impatiently, without further elaboration.

Gu Qi didn't ask any further questions, anyway, it's not his own business, so he can't control it.

Soon Liu Qingshan led Gu Qi into the study room, where Zhou Li was writing something at the desk, and the one who helped grind the ink was the personal servant whom he had met a few times before.

"You're here, sit down for a while. I'll talk to you after I finish writing this letter." After finishing speaking, Zhou Li turned sideways and ordered another servant to serve tea and cakes.

Gu Qi was not in a hurry, so while drinking tea, he idly looked around at the furnishings in the study.This study room is not big, in addition to the desk and the square table and chairs for guests, there are two other bookshelves and a bogus shelf.There are a lot of books on the bookshelf, but it is obvious that they have only been put there not long ago, almost all of them are brand new, and there are not many traces of flipping through them.

When it caught Gu Qi's attention, it was the decorations on the shelf.Gu Qi doesn't know much about this.Although I also took a few orders related to antique jewelry when I was tasked in the previous life, and I also studied it for a period of time, but this industry is deep, and it is not possible for beginners to master it in a few days.

But this does not prevent Gu Qi from staring at a crabapple red disc right now.Bull blood pattern, with a hint of murderous look in the dark part, the hair color and texture are just right.

"Even if you have a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain." '

This play looks really like it came out of Jun Kiln.

"Why, do you recognize this crabapple plate?" Zhou Li finished writing the letter, put down her pen and walked over: "This is the Juntai Kiln from the previous dynasty. I just received it from a family last month. It cost me a lot of money , how about you take a look for me, is it true?" Zhou Li asked with a smile.

It’s really Jun Kiln, Gu Qi smiled lightly and shook his head: “I don’t understand this, it’s just a layman watching the excitement.”

After all, Gu Qi directly stated his intention: "I came here to ask you to borrow money. I need 500 taels of silver. I came out in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring it with me. How many days later will I pay you back?"

"500 taels? It's quite a lot." Zhou Li chuckled lightly, "Could it be that you're interested in some new deal? We're also considered grasshoppers on the same rope now, remember to bring me a good deal if you have a good deal?"

What an old fox!

Gu Qi couldn't help grinning his teeth, and briefly talked about what happened in the horse market.

Zhou Li couldn't help but change his expression after hearing this: "Is it really Ahalma? Are you reading that right?"

Seeing Gu Qi nodding, Zhou Li squinted his eyes: "If it's really Ahalma, as long as it's handled properly, it won't be a problem to double it by three to five times. Do you plan to keep it for yourself, or change hands immediately?"

"Keep it for now, wait two years to see the situation and make a move." Gu Qi said.

"You've just come of age, so it doesn't matter if you stay for two years." Zhou Li nodded, but then smiled and said, "Whoever sees it has a share. I can lend you 500 taels of silver, but you have to lend me your horse for a few days."

Gu Qi cast a glance at Zhou Li, "What's the use of borrowing it?" If it's too troublesome, it's better to go to Xiaoqi Village overnight and ask the scholar to collect the movable money on the account first, although it is true that the account is true. It will be difficult to deal with.

"Don't worry, I just borrowed it to support my face. In a few days, there will be a banquet of hundreds of treasures in Jiangling County. The host is Dr. Zi Guanglu, a former Zhu Jin who retired from Kyoto. Almost everyone in Jiangling County All big and small, big and good families were invited.

Our Zhou family is just a newcomer in Jiangling County, and this time we are only going to join in the fun. It would be better if we can open up some more connections. "Zhou Li said, and calmly and gracefully fetched tea for herself, took a sip, and continued: "To tell you the truth, the crabapple plate from Juntai kiln was also specially collected for this matter.However, no matter how cherished the crabapple dish of Juntai kiln is, it cannot compare with the Ahalma, which is worth a thousand gold. "

"Although it's an Ahalma, it's unknown if it doesn't really travel thousands of miles a day." Gu Qiru said truthfully.

Ahal horses are just a general category. Although they are precious, there is no guarantee that every Ahal horse can become a top BMW that is hard to find.

Otherwise, even if those people really don't understand Dakang's market, they can't find a better channel.Nor will the price of the horse be set at only 500 taels of silver.

There's a certain element of luck involved.

Zhou Li put down his teacup and chuckled: "I'm just going to a banquet of treasures, not a real horse race. As long as I have a name, I'll ask someone to write a statement, which is enough to fool those literati and merchants."

Ah!

These words really made Gu Qi couldn't help laughing at his birth.

Don't look at Zhou Li's appearance as a dog, he usually eats, drinks, and dresses decently, and he is even more personable when he walks on the road, which means that a gentleman is like a gentleman.

In fact, he is a master more cunning than a fox in his heart, and he has won the essence of the businessman's "both face and lining, as long as the lining is rich enough, face is not necessary".

Gu Qi relaxed his shoulders, leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at Zhou Li: "I can lend you the horse, but..."

Gu Qi didn't continue to talk about the following words, but Zhou Li knew it clearly: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I borrowed your 500 taels of silver, don't rush to repay it, promise a one-year period. It's only [-]% interest."

"You still have to calculate the interest?" Gu Qi couldn't help but stare.

This person's name is 'Huaishu'?As far as this level of stinginess is concerned, the word 'papi' is appropriate.

Zhou Li smiled indifferently and said: "Brothers will settle accounts. Two per cent interest is already low enough. It is also because of the good friendship between you and me. In the past, I borrowed money from my cousin. Profit."

"Hehe." Gu Qi sneered: "Do you know how much money I spent to test the horse today? One test ride is three taels of silver for the test horse. You want to take the horse to Jiangling County, so don't talk about it back and forth. It takes seven or eight days. Do you have to calculate the rental fee carefully?"

"..." Zhou Li didn't speak, and tapped her fingers on the table habitually.

"One year, not counting interest, I will borrow you to support the scene. This deal is good enough." Gu Qi leaned on the handrail, and said unhurriedly: "If you don't want to, I can collect the money myself, and it's not impossible to get it out. .”

After all, the time is tight, this one has not been revised yet, those who have already made an appointment, don’t worry, it will be revised within 20 minutes
