The autumn is gradually coming, not too strong, but the unique coolness of autumn makes people feel desolate.
Gu Yanyan came out of the yard and was about to go home when he heard a voice behind him.
He looked back and saw a strange woman. He didn't dare to look at her any longer and wanted to leave. The woman was a little anxious and wanted to call out to him, but she accidentally fell to the ground.
"Wait, sir, please stay."
The woman ignored the pain in her ankle, stood up, and walked towards Gu Yanyan with a smile.
Gu Yanyan lowered his head and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. He turned to ask her, "What's the matter, lady?"
The woman was very well dressed, and her behavior revealed a scholarly air. Gu Yanyan guessed that she wanted to ask for directions, or maybe she was looking for someone, or maybe she was out for a trip and got lost. However, a young lady like this would at least have a little girl with her.
"I'm here to look for Gu Zhao from Gujia Village. Can you please lead the way? I can pay you."
The woman took out one or two taels of silver from her purse. If the person she met was not Gu Yanyan, he would take her to Zhao Qiqi's house with gratitude.
Gu Yanyan suppressed the vigilance and doubt in his eyes, pretending to be curious and asked, "I wonder what this lady wants to see her for? Many people have come to see her in the past few days, causing a lot of trouble. If something goes wrong because I took the lady there, I'm afraid I would feel bad."
The woman was slightly startled at first, then quickly smiled: "Don't worry, I came here alone. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that I could cause any trouble."
She could see that the man didn't care about the silver, but he didn't wear rich clothes. She couldn't help wondering if he was the son of Gu Zhao. If not, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
So she spoke more politely: "I'll be honest. I came here to discuss business with Gu Zhao. I also know that someone has come to our door, so I deliberately asked people to wait for me outside the village, so that you don't have to worry about what I will do. We can sit down and discuss things in an amicable manner. It doesn't matter even if we don't reach an agreement. Whether to sell or not, the decision is up to you."
Shen Shihui knew what her aunt had done and that it had all gone to waste. Given her temperament and the work style of her subordinates, she must have offended someone badly, so she lowered her posture.
Gu Yanyan then looked at her carefully, and the woman immediately guessed his identity.
He nodded: "Since you are discussing business with my mother, there is no need to pay this tael of silver."
Gu Yanyan brought people to the yard, where Zhao Qiqi was cooking.
He put down his things and asked Gu Yanyi and others to come quickly for today's class.
There was not much time for teaching every day, and he had to work in the afternoon. He could not go to Master Qu's class in the morning and teach in the afternoon. The whole day would pass, and if he did not work, others would do it for him. Therefore, every day, Gu Yanyi and other people in the village had to squeeze out some spare time to learn.
Shen Shihui withdrew his gaze and waited for Gu Zhao to come over.
Although Gu Zhao was wearing rough clothes with many patches, as soon as she turned around, Shen Shihui felt that she was different. She was different from the peasant women she had seen before. Why did Gu Zhao, who was in her thirties or forties, give off the feeling of an unmarried girl?
"Mrs. Zhao is well."
Zhao Qiqi nodded, not understanding why Gu Yanyan brought back such a beautiful young lady. This was quite pleasing to her eyes. When she was studying at university in modern times, she loved looking at beautiful women, especially those who were both elegant and beautiful.
Unconsciously, Zhao Qiqi's tone became more intimate and enthusiastic: "What should I call this lady?"
"Mrs. Zhao, just call me Shi Hui." She paused, then continued, "My maternal grandfather's family is the He family in town."
The smile on Zhao Qiqi's face faded a little and her tone changed a little. She knew something about the relationships among the people in the He family. Now the sisters of the He family came to her, weren't they just using her to challenge her?
Although Penglai Pavilion is just a restaurant in the town, the industries involved are far more than that. Qixian Town is relatively developed and the He family has a relatively deep foundation. She cannot get involved with such a family now.
"Since you are speaking frankly, I will not be hypocritical to you. Putting aside the complicated relationships in your He family, there is one more thing I don't want to cooperate with you for."
The decent smile on Shen Shihui's face did not change, and he listened quietly to Zhao Qiqi explaining the matter.
"We were originally doing business in town, but your He family did something and forced us to leave."
Shen Shihui nodded. She had already figured out He Honglian's personality. It was not surprising that she was probably the one who did something like this.
"As I walked along, I saw a lot of fields planted with things that looked like peppers but were green. I dared to guess that these were unripe peppers. Although I don't know the yield per mu, I can see that Madam Zhao's ambition is definitely not just to run a Zuixianju in town. Madam He is also aware of the struggles of the He family. Now I need peppers to gain a foothold in the He family, and Madam needs to open up the market. This is a win-win situation for both sides."
Zhao Qiqi shook his head: "I don't even have such a large supply right now, and Zuixianju's supply is too late."
What she meant was that only Shen Shihui benefited from this.
Shen Shihui said calmly: "Madam, let's do a business, not with peppers, but with Penglai Pavilion."
Zhao Qiqi was a little confused about what she meant.
"Given my aunt's personality, you are offending her by doing this. It is better to cooperate with me. I can ensure that Madam can get the greatest benefit, and I can also ensure that the people of the He family will not harass Madam's family again."
These words were flawless and solved her worries. If Zhao Qiqi wanted to make a good start in Qixian Town and expand her business, she could not offend Penglai Pavilion. If Shen Shihui and his daughter took over the He family, it would indeed be beneficial to her.
Besides, she was helping Shen Shihui when he was weak.
"Ms. Shen, your ambition is not small. It seems that you will never stick to the He family and Qixian Town. I agree to the business with you."
"It's just that you have to wait at least a month before you can get it. You don't have to worry about Zuixianju. As I said at the beginning, Zuixianju's stock is really running low."
Shen Shihui stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Qiqi. When she was leaving, she saw Gu Yanyan was still teaching a group of people seriously. She couldn't stay any longer. This time she came out under the pretext of going to the temple on the mountain to burn incense.
On the way, Shen Shihui's maid was puzzled as to why her young lady came to this small village to ask a village woman for help. According to her opinion, He Honglian had already given face to the peasant woman by sending people to do business.
Shen Shihui smiled and shook his head: "I don't just want the chili in Madam Zhao's hand, I also think that Madam Zhao is a person worth making friends with."
She knew about Zhao Qiqi's previous experience of setting up a stall in Qixian Town. In just a few days, he successfully sold fresh food very well. There was even a group of young men chasing after him to buy it. She felt that Zhao Qiqi was an extraordinary person.
