Yu Jinxi looked at him pretending to be confused, "Why do you ask this?"
"Can I submit the post?" Gu Qiheng was anxious.
Yu Jinxi shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't. You told me not to associate with them before. I went to give them a small gift today and returned directly."
Hearing this, Gu Qiheng was greatly disappointed.
Seeing him like this, Yu Jinxi deliberately whetted his appetite, "But I heard from others that Mrs. Ding likes Yunlong silk from Dingzhou very much, and servants of the Ding family often buy it."
"Untaki Silk?"
Yu Jinxi nodded, "Yes, Yunlong silk material is smooth and bright, and as thin as a cicada's wings. It is especially beautiful when made into clothes. Many people like to buy it."
Gu Qiheng's eyes flashed slightly, "I remember that the silk and satin shop under your name sells Yunlong silk?"
Yu Jinxi said, "Yes, but the shopkeeper may not have recognized the Ding family members, so he didn't know about it. If he had known it earlier, he would have sent a few horses over earlier to please Mrs. Ding, and there would be no worries today." Can you send a post to your door?"
Gu Qiheng said immediately, "It's not too late to send it away now."
Yu Jinxi shook his head, "I can't give it away."
"Why can't you send it off?" Gu Qiheng looked confused, "Jinxi, you don't want to help me?"
Hearing this, Yu Jinxi looked sad, "It's not that I don't want to help. You don't know something. The silk and satin shop has suffered too many losses. There are only some unsold stocks left in the store. Those materials can't be given away. , the new goods have not yet been shipped to the capital due to lack of money..."
Gu Qiheng paused, his eyes looked a little unnatural, and after a while he just said dryly, "How could this happen?"
When Yu Jinxi heard this, he sneered in his heart.
Why is this happening? He has a clear idea.
The money was divided between him and the shopkeeper, so how could there be any money to purchase goods?
They divided the money from selling the goods and then asked her for money in the name of losing money. The beads in their abacus were clicking. Are they pretending to know nothing?
"Hey, that's why I sold the house to fill the shortfall. The silk shopkeeper in Dingzhou has already sent me a letter. Unless I bring the money in person this time, the Yunlong silk will not only be supplied to us."
Gu Qiheng angrily shouted, "How can they go back on their word?"
Yu Jinxi looked gloomy, "But we really don't have the money to purchase goods, and it's impossible for others to supply us at a loss."
Gu Qiheng rolled his eyes and said immediately, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not in Dingzhou? Can you ask them to help..."
Yu Jinxi said, "Unfortunately, my father and my mother have traveled away and are not in Dingzhou."
Gu Qiheng: "..."
"You don't have to be upset. If this silk shop suffers losses, it will close down. I originally planned to sell it, but I will have to rely on you in the future."
Before Yu Jinxi could finish speaking, Gu Qiheng said immediately, "The silk and satin shop cannot be sold!"
Yu Jinxi looked at him eagerly, "But I don't have the money to purchase goods!"
"I'll think of a way. I'll open the silk and satin shop now. I'll just make a profit later."
Gu Qiheng looked at Yu Jinxi and asked, "How much money do you need?"
Yu Jinxi stretched out three fingers and shook them. Gu Qiheng guessed, "Three thousand taels?"
Yu Jinxi shook his head and said with a sad face, "It's thirty thousand taels."
"What? Why do you want so much?" If Yu Jinxi wasn't still in front of him, Gu Qiheng would have almost jumped up in shock.
"There is only one branch of Yunlong Silk in the capital. Selling it is expensive, so purchasing it will naturally be expensive as well."
"Otherwise, we should not open it to save money." Yu Jinxi sighed again, "It's just that Mr. Ding has to find another way."
Gu Qiheng was still a little doubtful at first, but after hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just thirty thousand taels? I'll find a way. You have people in Dingzhou deliver the goods as soon as possible. You must see Yunlong Silk within ten days."
Yu Jinxi said, "If you have money, it will be easier to talk. If you send someone to take my seal today, it should be enough in ten days."
"You wait."
Gu Qiheng dropped these words, stood up and left.
Yu Jinxi watched him walk away, his face darkening.
Qingti stood aside, her eyebrows furrowed, "Miss, where did my uncle get so much money?"
Thirty thousand taels is not a small amount.
Yu Jinxi said coldly, "Of course it's the money from the store I hid in the past."
"This one deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts!" Qingti said bitterly.
Yu Jinxi was not shocked by the 30,000 taels. After all, what Gu Qiheng did to her in his previous life was cruel and unfeeling.
What she cared about was that she could force Gu Qiheng to give her 30,000 taels of silver to buy Yunlong silk to please Mrs. Ding.
As an official from the Ministry of Rites, what did he do to offend an official from the Ministry of Personnel?
Is it possible that one can still buy and sell one's official position?
This thought shocked Yu Jinxi. Could this really be the case?
…
Gu Qiheng walked less than half an hour before he came to Yu Jinxi's house again, holding a small box in his hand.
"I've collected the money for you, go and order Yunlong Silk immediately."
Gu Qiheng's tone was stiff and he threw the box in front of Yu Jinxi with an attitude of giving.
Yu Jinxi opened the box and clicked it, no more, no less, exactly thirty thousand taels.
She didn't ask Gu Qiheng where the money came from, and directly handed the box to Qingti, "Go and do it."
Gu Qiheng's face suddenly turned green when he saw her handing over such a large amount of money to a servant so casually, "Why don't you keep such a large amount of money properly? Just give it to a girl like this?"
"People are always needed to do things, and I can't do them all myself."
Yu Jinxi looked at him and said, "Besides, you don't trust those who employ you, and you don't trust those who doubt you. I treat you this way, and I should treat others the same way."
Her instructive manner made it difficult for Gu Qiheng to have another attack, and he could only watch Qingti take away the money.
Qingti deliberately walked to the door with the banknote, then walked around the yard before going back. By then Gu Qiheng had already left.
Qingti handed the money back to Yu Jinxi and lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you have to keep this money properly, and you can't let me worry about it anymore."
Yu Jinxi touched the small box with a sneer on his lips, where did he go? Gu Qiheng owed her a lot.
As he was talking, Yu Jinxi saw a figure dodging in the yard, wanting to enter but not daring to show his face.
Qingti also saw it and immediately raised her voice and said, "My uncle is so kind to the young lady. Knowing that you are worried about money, I eagerly brought it to you. From now on, with my uncle here, the young lady will not have to worry about anything."
"Miss, just relax now and take good care of your health first. Once you take good care of yourself and have a boy and a half girl, your life will be even more beautiful."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft "spit" sound from outside, which sounded very disgusting.
Qingti was furious and wanted to go out and pull the person out, but Yu Jinxi grabbed her arm.
"Miss…"
Although Qingti lowered her voice, she could still tell that it was full of anger.
Yu Jinxi shook his head, "Let him go."
