This statement was something no one had thought of.
Even Di Gu looked at Gu Siyuan in surprise.
However, since Gu Siyuan said so, Di Gu would not let go of this opportunity.
"Master Gu said that, but it makes me a little embarrassed."
"It's just that business matters still need to be decided by the commander, and I have no power to interfere."
Hearing this, Gu Siyuan also had a very casual attitude, as if he really didn't care about this business.
On the other hand, Gu Zongmin, since his son has said so, he can no longer steal this business.
Moreover, Gu Siyuan's words just now reminded him that the Gu family wanted to cooperate with Ran Fang just to make good friends with Ran Fang.
But now that he is competing for business with Di Gu, isn't he competing with Ran Fang?
After understanding the key, he glanced at his son with a smile, his eyes filled with relief.
Immediately, he said, "What my son means is what the Gu family means."
"If Shopkeeper Di wants this line in the future, the Gu family will give it to him unconditionally. As long as he can do things for you, it will be a blessing for the Gu family."
Seeing them shaking hands and making peace, Ran Fang also smiled.
Although he didn't care much about these things, it was still satisfying for him to see this scene.
"Haha, it's great that the head of the Gu family thinks so."
"It's just that I don't intend to hand over all the business to Di Gu."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Zongmin suddenly flashed an expression of joy, and looked at Ran Fang anxiously, waiting anxiously for his next words.
This made Di Gu a little worried, wondering if there was something he didn't do well enough?
Ran Fang ignored their thoughts and continued: "I am going to open a tea shop in the city."
"People can come here to taste tea and have some exchanges here. It is best to find a chef to make exquisite snacks to accompany the tea tasting."
"Of course, these teas can also be sold."
"So, the transportation of the tea leaves will be left to the Gu family, and the affairs of the tea shop will be left to Di Gu."
"At that time, I not only want the tea from Surabaya County, but also want the tea pickers of the Gu family to visit more. It is best to come back with more tea."
This was considered a win-win cooperation, and a smile appeared on both Gu Zongmin and Di Gu's faces.
Gu Zongmin expressed his stance first. He immediately stood up and bowed to Ran Fang.
"Thank you, sir. This matter will definitely live up to your trust."
"Now the people who buy tea from the Gu family have left. They will be back in half a month. Then I will personally bring them to your presence."
After all, laymen like them didn't know much about tea, and even going to Surabaya County to buy tea was Ran Fang's suggestion.
Now let them find tea by themselves, I'm afraid they will have to take some detours.
Ran Fang also heard the meaning of his words, but he did not nod. He had to find a way to solve this kind of thing, otherwise it would be endless in the future.
"It doesn't matter, we'll talk about this later."
"This tea shop needs to be prepared first. My requirements are elegance and comfort. Everyone who comes here can feel a moment of tranquility."
"Di Gu, you can also ask Gu Siyuan for his opinion. I feel like he is very interested in these things."
Gu Siyuan, who was called out, stood up excitedly. He didn't expect that he would be praised by Ran Fang.
He nodded excitedly and immediately said: "Here!"
"Don't worry, sir, there will never be any problem with this matter!"
Although Di Gu didn't understand why Ran Fang wanted Gu Siyuan to get involved, he still nodded respectfully.
"Here."
After everything was settled, they exchanged greetings for a few more words before leaving Ran Fang.
Back at the Gu Mansion, Gu Zongmin took Gu Siyuan to the study.
The study room now is very different from before. The couches and low tables are no longer visible, replaced by chairs and high tables. The whole room is quite enriched.
Moreover, the whole house also looks more charming, which makes people feel more comfortable.
Looking at Gu Zongmin, who was happy just now, but now with a stern face, Gu Siyuan knew that he was about to be taught a lesson.
Before his father could speak, Gu Siyuan said, "Father, is it about the tea?"
"When you were at Ran Fang's place, you and Shopkeeper Di argued for so long, and Mr. didn't say a word. This shows that he has his own thoughts on this matter."
"If we really want to give the business to anyone, he can just tell us directly. There is no need to bring Shopkeeper Di to us and let us discuss it together."
"Since sir did this, there must be a reason for it."
"Besides, when we cooperated with Mr. on the refined salt matter, it was because of the face of His Majesty and Mr. Zhang. Although the Gu family also gave Mr. a part of the profits, he can leave this matter to anyone."
"To cooperate with the Gu family now means doing things under His Majesty's eyes. Who can feel comfortable?"
"Since the Gu family wants our husband as a backer, we must have our own consciousness. We cannot always rely on our husband to give us opportunities. We must also save face ourselves."
These few words suppressed everything Gu Zongmin wanted to say. Even if he wanted to reprimand, he didn't know how to speak.
But he wasn't angry, he looked at Gu Siyuan with a smile on his face.
After a moment, he slowly said: "Since Sir has asked you to take charge of this matter, then you must not let him down."
"Sir, you have no power in the court. There are more than one people in the court who want to see something happen to you. Although your majesty, Mr. Fusu, can help you, you will inevitably be a little constrained in doing things."
"There are a lot of eyes watching behind the Gu family. There are some things that cannot be reported to sir in time, so you have to deal with them."
"As for the tea, I always feel that it's not that simple to build a tea shop, sir. You can go and discuss with Di Gu in private. Should this shop be a darkroom?"
Gu Siyuan thought he was going to be scolded, but he didn't expect that it was his father who taught him how to do things?
This made him feel flattered. After all, although he was able to take charge of his own business, his father had always been strict with him and would always beat him on such small things.
However, it feels good...
"I know, Father."
"My son heard that Cao Yangyun, the man next to me, has a very good relationship with the biggest Yaman in the city. The people in Liuguang Pavilion and Rongming all bought their products from that Yaman."
"Moreover, all the jailers in Xianyang Prison were bought back. Many of the previous jailers were dismissed."
"It's just that now Xianyang Prison is not accessible to ordinary people. No one knows exactly how many people have been replaced, and no one knows what Sir wants to do?"
The next few sentences were just secretly investigated by Gu Siyuan. He complained casually and wanted to hear Gu Zongmin's opinion.
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, the expression on Gu Zongmin's face changed again and again.
He was keenly aware that Ran Fang and His Majesty were about to play a big game of chess, but the Gu family was not chosen by him.
"Is this serious?"
"If that's the case, remember to be careful when doing things for your husband in the future, and don't let anyone get you caught!"
"As for the tea shop matter, you must discuss it with Di Gu before doing it. You can't just go your own way. Do you hear me?"
She didn't understand why his face suddenly changed, but Gu Siyuan still nodded seriously.
"I know, father,"
There was another thing he didn't tell Gu Zongmin. He no longer wanted to be an official in the court. He just wanted to work with Ran Fang. That was much better than being an official!
Therefore, he thinks in his heart, how to do things when doing things, that is his business.
He must make Ran Fang look at him with admiration!
