Chapter 416: Summons from the Palace
The young couple stayed at the mother's house for two days and then returned.
While waiting for the emperor to summon them at the post station, everyone followed the brokers they had recently contacted to look for a suitable shop in the city.
Song Renjing also accompanied them for a day. Seeing that they had adapted well, he left a secret guard to accompany them and then returned to the palace to handle business.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he had to deal with court affairs and many things to handle, so he became busy all of a sudden.
"Ah, this capital city is really very expensive! And every shop has its own owner. It seems that it is not easy to open a shop in the city!"
After following it for a few days, Gu Dahai couldn't help but say.
"Yes!" Gu Dajiang responded helplessly.
In the past few days, they followed the broker to visit several shops.
Either the area is too small, or the shops are large enough but too scattered, so it is impossible to build a shopping mall after buying them.
“If it doesn’t work, let’s go outside the city and have a look.
Haven’t we seen this before? Some people specifically build a large shopping mall in a remote area of the city.
Our shopping center is similar to those big department stores.
If there is no suitable place in the capital, we might as well build the shopping mall and the village together.
As long as the reputation is spread, there is no need to worry about no one coming to patronize. "Gu Xiang suggested.
“Yes, we don’t have to stick to the city at all. Our buffets and convenient hotels have attracted many guests who travel thousands of miles to Zesheng County and Longcheng to experience them!
Now that we are in the capital, there will surely be more people coming here because of our reputation." Gu Yi also agreed.
"This is a good idea, and if it is built outside the city, the space can be expanded. Some of my sister's previous ideas about the shopping mall can be further improved." Gu Ji also said.
"Okay, then we will start looking at the farms outside the city starting tomorrow, and then we will build everything outside the city." Gu Dajiang made the decision.
"Okay!" Everyone responded happily in unison.
To be honest, even though they had only been looking for a house for a few days, they were already devastated.
Not only do all the shops in this capital city have owners, but the shops in good locations are also owned by wealthy and powerful people.
No one thought about selling the shop. As long as there was a business, it was good.
Whether it is the care of friends or the brand effect, all the stores are thriving.
It was also a wise choice for the Gu family to decisively abandon the city and choose to build a new city outside the city.
"This is a great idea. This way, we won't have to walk too far to go to work, and we can also build dormitories for our employees on the farm. It will become lively over time."
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this method was appropriate, so they decided to focus on the farm outside the city.
"Should we buy a few of these shops in the city?" asked Gu Dahe.
"We can buy some shops of suitable size and use them to open restaurants, inns...it's all fine." Gu Dajiang said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's find someone from the dental clinic this afternoon and buy out those larger shops!" said Gu Dahai.
"I think it's okay. Besides, I think we should buy as many things as possible from the shops in the city, and also think more about Fuer's future." Jiang suggested.
After being reminded by Jiang, everyone also thought of the affairs of their own Fu'er and Ajing.
If Ajing passes the test and really marries Fuer in the future, it would be more convenient to manage Fuer's dowry in the city.
"Sister-in-law is so thoughtful!" Wen said gratefully.
No wonder my little daughter and my eldest sister-in-law are the closest, and my eldest sister-in-law also holds her daughter in her heart.
Wen said hurriedly, "Then we will buy the shop in the capital."
"Tsk! We haven't even divided up the family yet, and you're talking about yours and ours! Besides, we, the uncles and aunts, have been taken care of by Fu'er over the years, so we should also do our part for Fu'er." Gu Dahai said dissatisfiedly.
"That's right! That's right!" others echoed.
When Mr. and Mrs. Gu Dahai saw that their eldest and second brothers' families were truly concerned about their daughter, they stopped refusing and happily agreed.
As parents, they are very happy because their daughter is loved by everyone.
After everyone had discussed it, they found a broker and bought all the shops they liked in the city.
I have made an appointment with the broker to look at a farm outside the city in the next few days.
Then he said goodbye and returned to the post station.
As soon as everyone returned to the post station, they saw the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.
When everyone saw someone coming from the palace, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the eunuch.
"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Gu Dahai stepped forward and greeted him apologetically.
"It's okay. I am here on His Majesty's orders to convey His Majesty's instructions.
If it is convenient for you, please kneel down now and listen to the emperor’s oral instructions!
We can also return to the palace as soon as possible to report to the emperor."
The Gu family hurriedly said, "It's convenient." They quickly ordered someone to set up the incense table, and everyone knelt on the ground respectfully.
Eunuch: "Your Majesty has ordered that all members of the Gu family, the son of the Duan family, and Prince Muzhen should come to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow at noon! I decree this!"
"We obey your command!" Everyone responded in unison, bowing and kowtowing to express their gratitude.
The eunuch signaled everyone to stand up, and then everyone stood up and thanked the eunuch.
Gu Dahai hurried forward and stuffed a purse filled with silver bills into his father-in-law's hand.
The eunuch felt around for a while and realized that there were banknotes inside. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have conveyed your Majesty's order. Don't miss the time tomorrow!"
"Thank you, eunuch, for your reminder. I will not dare to delay." Gu Dahai responded quickly.
The eunuch then took his men and left.
The eunuch had already drunk a bellyful of tea here. If the emperor and the emperor's grandson had not valued him, he would have left impatiently after leaving a message.
When I entered the carriage, I saw that the Gu family had given me a silver note of 100 taels. Only then did I feel that the tea I had drunk for half a day was not in vain.
As soon as the eunuch left, everyone in the Gu family got busy.
If the emperor wanted to summon someone at noon, everyone would arrive at the palace in advance and wait.
The Gu family still remembered the agreement with the broker, so they first sent an intelligent robot to notify them to reschedule.
Then she packed her clothes and prepared gifts for Your Majesty.
The next morning, the family cleaned up the house.
Each person was also given a small bag of cakes, bite-sized cakes, to prevent them from getting hungry or eating with their food spilled on the outside and losing their manners in front of the emperor.
After the inspection was completed and no aspects were missed, he called the intelligent butler, drove the carriage towards the palace.
Everyone was excited and a little nervous.
As common people, they would never have imagined a few years ago that one day they would be able to enter the imperial palace of Daxia and meet the most powerful figure in this country - the emperor.
"I feel so happy and excited at this moment!" said Gu Yi.
"You haven't mastered the skill of cultivating your Qi yet!" Gu Ru retorted.
"You talk as if you're not excited or nervous. When you're excited or nervous, your face becomes tense. Look at you now, this is your face." Gu Yi exposed his brother.
Gu Ru was exposed and curled her lips in embarrassment.
