1570 An Accident in Jinfu Building

It's late autumn, and it's getting colder these days, Gu Xiaowan reminded her aunt to prepare winter clothes for everyone, and chatted with Gu Fangxi.

"I'm afraid that this year will be spent in the capital. Auntie, while there are still a few months left, hurry up and prepare some winter clothes!"

The Empress Dowager's birthday is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in half a month after the twelfth lunar month. According to this schedule, it is impossible to return to Liujia Town for the New Year. The only way to spend the New Year in the capital is to wait for Gu Ning'an After getting acquainted in the capital, they are considering going back to Liujia Town.

This capital city is not a good place, there are too many right and wrong, Gu Xiaowan still likes that small place where there is no intrigue, but only parents who are short-tempered.

Don't blame her for not being ambitious and luxurious. Her goal in life is to earn a lot of money, live in a big house, be a landlord, be rich and beautiful, and do whatever she wants. People are jealous.

Liujia Town is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and simple folk customs. Although there are very few people who provoke troubles, but with his name as the head of Anping County, who would dare to challenge him?

I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Gu Xiaowan snapped her fingers to calculate how long it would be until the Queen Mother's birthday.

I thought that the weather would be calm and I would wait for birthday greetings, but who knows that there are many right and wrong on the way.

"Xiaowan, don't worry, I'll find a tailor tomorrow to measure everyone!" Gu Fangxi nodded and wrote it down in a notebook while talking.

Gu Fangxi was illiterate, but after following Gu Xiaowan for a long time, Gu Xiaowan thought how could a person be illiterate, so she forced Gu Fangxi to be illiterate. Over the years, although she still did not know many words, basically the words used in daily communication Even if they know each other, they can also write. Although the writing is very bad, Gu Xiaowan is also satisfied.

"Azuo, Ahmad, Koudan, Kouhai, and the others also have to measure. Everyone prepares two sets of winter clothes for them, and the materials must be selected!" Gu Xiaowan said.

She was not short of money, and these people were all serving by her side. Gu Xiaowan could see their loyalty, so naturally she had to treat them well.

Gu Fangxi nodded, made a note, and agreed: "Xiao Wan, last time we bought some gold silk embroidery thread at Lanqing Cloth Shop, the things in their shop are good and cheap, and the quality is worse than that on Guang'an Street. It’s not much, but the price is much cheaper because the store is located in a relatively remote area, why don’t I go and find the people from Lanqing Cloth Square, and he will make all these winter clothes there?”

"Lan Qing Bufang?" Gu Xiaowan asked back.

"Well, it's the place where Xiao Yi saved people last time!" Gu Fangxi said.

Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Okay. Anyway, we are all growing up, and the clothes have to be redone every year, which saves too much waste! You can let Kou Hai find someone tomorrow!"

"Brother Ping's clothes are made of the thickest fabric, and they are made thicker and warmer. After all, the place in the military camp is no better than a home. Fine materials are probably useless there!" Gu Xiaowan thought of everything: "Although I don't know the size, But according to previous years, it will be a little bigger, crying in the barracks, I'm afraid it won't grow much meat!"

Gu Fangxi responded one by one: "Do you want to prepare things for the New Year at home?"

Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Let's prepare slowly. There are not many people in the family. If you come again during the Chinese New Year, it may be too late. There are few people in the family, so prepare in advance and add whatever you think of! It will save chaos when the time comes!" Gu Fangxi also said When I wanted to say something, I heard Kou Dan yelling outside: "Miss... the third treasurer of Jinfulou is here! He said he has something urgent to report to you, miss!"

Ah Zuo was by Gu Xiaowan's side every day, Kou Dan was different, she would go to Gu Xiaoyi's yard from time to time to take care of Gu Xiaoyi, and if the girl had something to do in the front yard, she would also go to the front yard.

No, the eldest brother sent word that the third shopkeeper of Jinfulou had come.

Gu Xiaowan knew who the three shopkeepers were. A few months ago, Xiao Shengzi was also promoted and directly became the third shopkeeper of Jinfulou!

The second shopkeeper is naturally Gu Xiaowan.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaowan hurriedly ordered someone to come in, seeing that Xiao Shengzi's complexion was a little pale, even walking a little weakly, Gu Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat.

"Girl, something happened in Jinfulou!"

Xiao Shengzi knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying to Gu Xiaowan.

Gu Xiaowan's beautiful eyes twisted into Sichuan characters.

"Don't cry, first tell me, what happened to Jinfulou?" Zuo said calmly.

"Jin Fu Lou is open as usual today, and there are guests coming at noon as usual, but it has only been an hour, and for some reason, there is a table of guests foaming at the mouth, and before the shopkeeper has time to call the doctor, those four people are already dead ! Died in Jinfu Building."

"What?" Gu Fangxi was shocked: "Four people died?"

"Well, that's right, those four people are regular customers of Jinfulou and Fujinlou on weekdays, and they come to Jinfulou to eat almost every day, but they are all fine on weekdays. I don't know why, but today they all went He's dead!" Xiao Shengzi was even more shocked when he thought of how those few fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and then rolled their eyes and died.

"Where's Uncle Li? How's Jinfu Tower going now?" Gu Xiaowan asked calmly.

"The shopkeeper was taken away by the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, all the servants, cooks and cooks in the restaurant were taken away, all the diners in the restaurant were dispersed, and then the restaurant was sealed. I took advantage of it with great difficulty. Chaos, sneaked out!"

Xiao Shengzi didn't expect that he was still fine just now. In the blink of an eye, Jinfulou was sealed off, and four people died. Now, Jinfulou's reputation is completely ruined.

The point is that now, the shopkeeper and those servants and cooks have been taken away. Who knows what those people will say in prison.

"Don't worry! Did anyone see you when you came here?" Gu Xiaowan asked calmly.

"No, I slipped out while I was in the middle of nowhere, and came by a side road! I didn't go to the shopkeeper's house, so I went directly to your place!" Xiao Shengzi said after thinking about it.

On the way here, he didn't meet a single person. If he wanted to come, no one knew he would come here.
