Chapter 307 The Richest Man in the North
Chapter 307 The Richest Man in the North
His posture was extremely humble and his tone was extremely respectful.
Her facial expressions were rich and varied, showing both shock and excitement. If the situation allowed, Patriarch Gu would want to hug her thighs and cry bitterly.
But he couldn't, because he was the head of the Gu family and had to be steady and dignified in front of others.
Seeing that he was about to kneel down again, Xia Yining felt really tired. Why did everyone have to kneel down at every turn?
Xi Zhiyi saw through the little girl's thoughts at a glance, and spoke out to stop her, "Master Gu, there is no need to be so polite. The eldest princess doesn't like others to kneel down."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Gu paused as he lifted up his robe, then stood up straight quickly.
I just laughed foolishly at them.
"Hey hey hey..."
Gu Qinghuan:...
He held his forehead and covered his face, wishing he could pull his father away and run away.
Xia Yining:...
"This is at the Gu family. Patriarch Gu, please be more relaxed and don't be nervous. It would be better to let Madam Gu and Qing Huan go wash up first."
"Wait until everything is cleaned up, then there's no need to rush over."
Looking at the mess on their bodies, both mother and daughter blushed. This was the most embarrassing moment in their lives.
Gu Qinghuan ran to her arms with red cheeks and rubbed against her, saying in a baby voice: "Sister Goddess, wait for Qinghuan, I will be back soon."
"okay."
When he left the house, he pushed Patriarch Gu and threatened him with his eyes, "Take good care of your savior, otherwise..."
"Hehe~~~" The eighteen hundred words threatening daddy are omitted here.
The head of the Gu family, who was always very powerful outside, now had a bitter look on his face, and he didn't know where to put his nervous hands and feet.
I didn't even dare to sit down and just stood there like a poor little thing.
Everyone:······
Okay, okay, if others saw this, they would think it was a new bride.
Fortunately, Xi Zhiyi is particularly good at business. There is a saying in Nanxu: "Xiu Nan looks north."
It refers to the area south of the capital. The most powerful businessman is the third master of the Xi family, who can be called the richest man in the south.
North of the capital, the most powerful business family is the famous Gu family, which controls the economic lifeline of the entire north.
Whenever this happens in a business environment, everyone will keep a distance from them.
The most talked about are the head of the Gu family and his son Gu Huacheng, who are ruthless in dealing with those who cause trouble and will never leave any trouble behind.
For ordinary merchants who do serious business, we will give them some profits so that they can all make money.
At that time, many people said that they wanted to see what kind of sparks would be created when the Xi and Gu families collided.
"My name is Xi Zhiyi. I am honored to meet the head of the Gu family today. It seems that some rumors cannot be taken seriously."
Hearing his name, Patriarch Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked very surprised.
He quickly bowed and said, "I didn't expect to meet the legendary Third Master Xi today. It is my honor."
At this time, the head of the Gu family thought to himself, no wonder this person felt somewhat familiar, a few years ago, when the goddess was not asleep, the family specially collected portraits of Xi Zhiyi.
After going through untold hardships, I finally drew this, just to tell the Gu family members who are doing business outside that they must be polite if they meet them.
The Xi family is different from the Gu family. It is a famous family in the capital. The emperor was secretly backing them in the border affairs back then.
But they are different. They are just the merchants at the end of the line, too different from the Xi family, so it is better not to offend them.
Unexpectedly...
After the battle with the goddess, even the Third Master Xi who was in front of him disappeared, and he spent a lot of energy to inquire about it.
Then I learned that for the sake of one person, Master San decided not to go out anymore and only develop around the capital, so that he could go back as soon as there was good news.
At that time, everyone in the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of that period to develop vigorously.
Now it seems that the goddess and Master Sanye have a close relationship, otherwise they would not travel together.
Then I thought, why did we have to wait for everyone back then? Could it be that...
In a short period of time, the head of the Gu family's brain was working very fast and he thought about many things.
"I have long wanted to visit Master San and talk about business. Now that you are a guest of honor at the Gu Mansion, I am so lucky."
"Well, the Gu family's reputation is not small, but it has been restricted for a long time due to some reasons. Otherwise, the Gu family is not only famous in the north."
"He will probably go to the capital. There is a high possibility that he will become an imperial merchant."
Patriarch Gu quickly shook his head. He was no longer nervous at this moment. He slowly sat down below them and said, "It's impossible. It's too difficult."
"The capital is full of nobles. You can meet three nobles every time you take a step. The forces of all parties are intertwined and complicated, making it even more difficult to do business."
"To be honest, someone from the Gu family tried it a few years ago, and in the end, not even a bone was left."
"Some officials took the initiative to extend an olive branch, but the conditions they offered were extremely harsh, making it unacceptable to the Gu family."
"When Master San didn't go to the north to develop, he left a way out for the Gu family. Now they can gain a firm foothold in their hometown."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Master San."
Knowing that he was telling the truth, Xi Zhiyi smiled and shook his head and said, "Even if nothing unexpected happens, the Gu family will become the richest family in the north. After all, there are many young people in the Gu family doing business outside."
"Each of them is very good, and most importantly, they are very united. They work together as a team, so many businessmen dare not easily provoke them."
"At that time, if I came to the north to do business, I would also come to visit the Gu family. After all, the north is your Gu family's territory."
"Master San, you are joking. I also want to visit the capital so that I can curry favor with him." The head of the Gu family said it frankly, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it.
Sitting aside, Xia Yining felt much more relaxed. He thought it was great to take Xi Zhiyi out with him. From now on, he would leave the socializing with others to him.
After all, she, Chiyan Dahe, Xiaohe and others were not talkative, not to mention the remaining three tigers, no one could understand what they said.
She pinched a piece of dessert with her fingers. The whole thing was yellow and soft. Her eyes lit up when she took a bite. It was a bit like the mung bean cake in her previous life.
It tastes petrifying and slightly sweet in the mouth, and she likes it very much.
Lowering her eyes and staring at the pastries, she thought that in the blink of an eye, she had already been in ancient times for more than ten years. She could feel that her connection with her previous life was getting weaker and weaker.
I felt inexplicably uncomfortable and a little sour in my heart.
Xi Zhiyi, who had been keeping an eye on him, felt a pain in his heart for some reason when he saw the dazed look on the little girl's face.
He immediately stopped the conversation, stood up, walked to her side, and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears.
He asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Ning'er? Is the cake delicious?"
When her thoughts were interrupted, Xia Yining looked up and saw his worry, and smiled.
"Well, Gu's pastries are delicious and very popular."
"Why don't you continue chatting with Patriarch Gu? Don't worry about Ning'er."
Xi Zhiyi took a look at the cakes and said with a gentle smile, "Okay, since you like it, I'll ask Patriarch Gu for a recipe."
