Chapter 503 You have to marry even if you don’t want to marry

After Gu Ruinian left the casino, he first went home to tell Gu Youtian and others that he could not help in the shop for a few days, otherwise if he disappeared, Old Man Gu would dig deep to find him.

The more popular Jufulai's business is, the slower Wu Ji's business is.

The Wu family's reputation has become so bad in Pingchuan that people who go shopping avoid Wu's shop.

Occasionally there would be a few orders of business, basically people from Heilongtan Town came to Pingchuan County to shop, and they didn't want to lose face for Wuli.

Business was so bad and he had to support two families. Wu Ren looked unhappy.

Gu Youtian was also in a bad mood.

The bad business is not at all the fault of the Gu family, as they don’t have a bad reputation.

He had already suggested to Wu Ren that the way out of the impasse was to let the Wu family hide for a few days, change the name of Wu Ji, and then come back when the Wu family's reputation in Pingchuan faded.

Besides, even if the shop is renamed, the Wu family will still own the majority of the shares. The Wu family members don't have to sit here and worry about it, and they can still get half of the profits. Isn't that good?

But Wu Ren, with a mean heart, judged others by his own standards and was always afraid that Gu Youtian would turn the shop into the Gu family's.

When Gu Youtian was furious, he heard Gu Ruinian tell him that he had made rich new friends in Pingchuan and had gone to his friend's house in the past few days. He was so angry that he scolded Gu Ruinian.

"You are not good at studying, and you are not good at doing business. You should go back to Qinghe Bay tomorrow." Gu Youtian said.

Gu Ruinian held his breath and went into the house to pack his clothes. He told Jia, who had followed him, that he had made rich friends and asked her not to worry.

Jia was worried.

"Mom, wait for my good news. I will let you live a good life in a few days." Gu Ruinian said to Jia.

What is Wu Ji? What is the Wu family? When he wins over Lian Hengruo and becomes the Lian family's son-in-law, he will buy Wu Ji and make all the members of the Wu family get out.

He also wants to become the boss of the second branch of the Gu family, and if Gu Youtian dares to fart, he will punish him.

Gu Ruinian walked out of Wu Ji and stared at Jufulai with narrowed eyes.

Jufulai’s business is busier than before.

"Young man from the Gu family, why don't you go to Jufulai to join in the fun?" When the waiter in the teahouse saw Gu Ruinian, he wanted to invite him to go to Jufulai to join in the fun.

Normally, Gu Ruinian was not willing to speak to the working class, but when it came to Jufulai, he was willing to listen, so he asked, "What's Jufulai up to now?"

The waiter at the teahouse said, "Miss Lian Er opened a pearl stall in Jufulai. The stall is filled with all kinds of pearls. Wow, there are even black pearls. I have never seen black pearls in my life. I want to go and have a look."

After saying this, the teahouse waiter rushed towards Jufulai.

Gu Ruinian suddenly thought, no wonder Lian Hengruo always went to Jufulai these days, it turned out that he was doing business in partnership with Jufulai.

Let Ju Fulai be proud for a few days.

......

"Grandma, do you know who Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua met?" Nie Xiaofeng rushed to Tong Huaqiong like a gust of wind. Seeing that Tong Huaqiong looked like she was about to fart, he didn't dare to keep the secret any longer and said, "They met Mr. Lian Er, and they met in the casino."

Nie Xiaofeng was assigned by Tong Huaqiong to keep an eye on Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua. He thought this job was difficult, but it turned out to be so easy. In less than two days, he had figured out the whereabouts of the two.

Since Lian Hengruo told Tong Huaqiong about the Lian family's dirty tricks, Tong Huaqiong knew that Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua saw that the second young master Lian was not holding back.

However, Gu Ruinian saw that she understood the Second Young Master Lian, so why did Xu Zaohua jump up three feet high? Her impression of Xu Zaohua was that she would not do anything without profit.

She didn't believe that this would not benefit Xu Zaohua.

"Why is Xu Zaohua so enthusiastic about this matter? Have you asked around?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Nie Xiaofeng admired Tong Huaqiong more and more. No wonder everyone said that grandma was smart and could grasp the key to the problem at once.

Before he could even open his mouth, grandma asked.

"I heard that the second son of the Zheng family and the second daughter of the Lian family are discussing marriage." Nie Xiaofeng said.

Tong Huaqiong understood it immediately.

Xu Zaohua doesn't want Lian Hengruo to marry her brother-in-law, and the second master Lian doesn't want Lian Hengruo to have a capable husband's family, so the two of them join forces.

As for Gu Ruinian, he is definitely a tool for the two of them.

What methods will they use to deal with Lian Hengruo and ruin her innocence?

Didn’t Gu Ruinian already try it with a handkerchief?

Women in this era were not as restricted as they were in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but they were still not friendly enough. Holding hands with handkerchiefs in public was not enough to ruin a woman's reputation and force her to marry a lecher, but what if they were blocked in bed?

You have to get married even if you don’t want to.

Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong felt nauseous.

Gu Ruinian, you have also been baptized by modern civilization, so why are you so despicable when it comes to ancient times?

Tong Huaqiong asked Nie Xiaofeng: "Who is the second son of the Zheng family?"

Nie Xiaofeng said: "I passed the imperial examination this spring at the same time as my uncle, and went to Wanliu Academy at about the same time as my uncle. Although he is a scholar, his character is very bad."

Tong Huaqiong slapped her thigh. She also asked Nie Xiaofeng about the character of the second son of the Zheng family. Tong Dajiao had it in her memory.

Wasn't it because he seduced Man'er and persecuted her by the Zheng family?

In the previous life, Man'er killed the second son of the Zheng family and burned the Zheng family to ashes.

Man'er did not come to the Zheng family in this life, so it is unknown how long the second young master Zheng can live.

Such a person is not worthy of Lian Hengruo.

I just don't know what Lian Hengruo thinks about this marriage.

Tong Huaqiong thought about it and went to the pearl stall to look for Lian Hengruo.

As the stall had just been open for two days, Lian Hengruo personally received customers every day. When Tong Huaqiong arrived, Lian Hengruo was introducing black pearls to a grown man.

Why does this old man look so familiar?

Tong Huaqiong thought for a long time, but the other party took the initiative to come forward and greet Tong Huaqiong, calling her Aunt Tong affectionately.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Yao?" Tong Huaqiong clapped her hands and apologized, she really didn't recognize him.

It’s not her fault. Maybe it’s because of the feng shui in Ning City, but Lord Yao looks visibly younger than last year.

I don’t know why Lord Yao came to Pingchuan, but think about it, he is the prefect of the entire Ningcheng, so it is normal for him to inspect the counties.

Lian Hengruo was stunned. Her pearl shop had entertained a big customer. Besides Prefect Yao, the other customer was Lord Yao.

This prefect is really something. He doesn't even wear his official uniform when he comes in.

I don’t know if I was too eager in my sales pitch just now.

Prefect Yao said to Tong Huaqiong, "I came to Pingchuan to see how the corn was growing. I passed by this street and saw so many people pouring into Jufulai. I was curious so I came in to take a look."

After entering, he discovered that there were black pearls at the pearl stall. It was the first time that Governor Yao saw black pearls, so he walked in and picked one up to have a look out of curiosity. Lian Hengruo took the opportunity to step forward and introduce and sell the product.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Master Yao, I own Jufulai."

Prefect Yao glanced towards Jufulai. He had never seen such a department store before.

Aunt Tong was indeed innovative. When he thought of this, Governor Yao said, "I went to Qinghewan and found dozens of acres of cotton fields to the west of the village. The villagers said it was Aunt Tong's land."

Prefect Yao looked inquiring.

No one in the entire Ningcheng grows cotton on such a large scale. He would not be curious if others grew cotton, but he was curious if Tong Huaqiong grew cotton.

He felt that Tong Huaqiong would not grow so much cotton for no reason.

Tong Huaqiong knew that Magistrate Yao had no ill intentions and was just expressing his curiosity and concern as a senior official.

But she couldn't say she wanted to develop the cotton industry yet, after all, the textile machine had not yet been invented.

Tong Huaqiong said: "That piece of land is only suitable for growing cotton."
