The problem of finding buyers for the corn

"Hehe, it must be because I'm reluctant to part with Marquis, and I kept turning back with tears in my eyes." Gu Wanning chuckled. "Then it's settled, Marquis. I'm taking the four of them out to buy things."

Sisters, we have another chance to go out and have fun!

Chapter 61 The Problem of Corn Sales

Er Ya went around calling for people to tell the aunts to prepare to go out.

"Fourth Concubine isn't going?" Gu Wanning asked in surprise. "Is this still Zhou Yaya?"

Xu Weibei was sitting at the table reading the official gazette, and upon hearing this, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Gu Wanning was able to help him manage the women in his household, so she could be considered a "virtuous wife".

"Fourth Concubine's period has started," Er Ya said, "And she's in so much pain she can't get out of bed."

"Oh? It's that serious? Why didn't you let Third Concubine go and take a look?"

"Third Concubine went and prescribed medicine, but Fourth Concubine said she'd rather die in pain than take it."

Gu Wanning: "..."

Xu Weibei sneered, "Then let her suffer."

Look at all these problems.

Thankfully, she's not his woman, so he doesn't have to worry about her.

"Third Concubine is giving her acupuncture to relieve the pain, saying she wants to thank you, Madam, but she won't be going out with you this time."

"Alright," Gu Wanning said. "I'll ask Third Concubine again later if she can make these pills for her. Whatever she needs, just go to the storeroom and get it; just say I told her."

"You just spoil her." Xu Weibei said irritably.

Why isn't she ever that kind to me?

Gu Wanning thought to herself, "Who can't have a little temper?"

The girl is only sixteen years old, with no relatives around. She usually has a silly and endearing personality, so what if she's a little spoiled during her period?

However, this kind of pain can't go on forever. If I refuse to take medicine and recuperate, I wonder if having a child would help.

Women, no matter how strong they are, can be tormented to the point of death by their periods.

So why don't men have to go through these things!

"Oh, right, you took the brown sugar that the palace bestowed upon her before; and there's bird's nest, I remember there are still a few boxes in the storeroom, they're just sitting there anyway, give her some... it wouldn't be fair to favor one over the other, see if you can divide it into four portions..."

Gu Wanning felt that he was like a man who had four women, and he always thought about treating them equally.

It's clear that being a considerate man is quite difficult, so they all chose to be scumbags?

Xu Weibei didn't care how she disposed of the things in the mansion.

However, upon hearing that his Fourth Concubine wasn't going, he simply said, "Take the guards with you."

"Okay."

Gu Wanning would never joke about her own safety.

Her biological father and her husband are both targets of public criticism.

In fact, she was not their weakness, but rather a hindrance in their eyes.

But those restless fools outside just couldn't understand.

Gu Wanning saw her Second Concubine dressed in men's clothing at the second gate. "What's wrong? Are you dressed like this so that people will say I'm keeping a gigolo?"

The Second Concubine said with a forced smile, "Don't worry, Madam, I would never dare to implicate you. Once we're outside, just wave your hand and let me go..."

She wanted to take the opportunity to see her younger brother and check on the shop.

"When I return, I will bring you Golden Milk Pastry, Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake, and the most delicious Snow Baby."

Gu Wanning often said that of her seven emotions and six desires, only the desire for food and money remained.

Asking the Second Concubine to spend more money would be tantamount to killing her.

But buying some food is still an option.

"I don't eat frogs, just bring me some snacks," Gu Wanning said.

Snow babies are made by skinning and deboning frogs, coating them in bean flour, and deep-frying them. They are snow-white and tender on the outside, hence the name "snow babies".

This was the Second Concubine's favorite food. She had mentioned it many times, asking the First Concubine to help her make it, but the First Concubine was afraid to touch the frog, which left the Second Concubine feeling deeply regretful and unable to forget it.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Second Concubine replied happily.

She was happy to see her younger brother today.

So in the end, only First Concubine and Er Ya accompanied Gu Wanning out.

Er Ya found the carriage stuffy and, not caring if people saw her, sat outside with the coachman.

The First Concubine held a round fan and fanned Gu Wanning.

"No need, I can do it myself." Gu Wanning took Er Ya's Er Ya palm-leaf fan and fanned herself vigorously twice. "Are you selling embroidery today?"

"I won't sell it anymore, my monthly allowance is enough," the First Concubine said with a smile. "I'll make new clothes for Madam for autumn."

"Don't make me any more, it's a waste. I'm the kind of person who doesn't cherish things and is reluctant to wear them."

The First Concubine smiled gently.

Looking at her, Gu Wanning couldn't help but think to herself, "Qin Lie still has good taste."

If she were a man, she would prefer her First Concubine.

As requested by Gu Wanning, the group first went to a shop selling goods from both the north and south of China.

The same waiter who greeted Gu Wanning was the same one from last time.

This time, however, he was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Wanning come in.

Gu Wanning was a little uncomfortable. "Did I put gold paint on my face today? You seem so happy to see me."

The waiter chuckled, "Madam is kind-hearted; she's made room for all those little beggars. We tried so hard to get rid of them before, but they wouldn't leave..."

"So that's what you were talking about. Now, if I buy something today, would you like to give me a discount?"

"Well, well," the waiter said with an embarrassed smile, "Our shop operates on thin margins, so we really can't offer you a discount."

Gu Wanning rolled her eyes.

You sell me a single ear of Corn for 100 taels, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan, and you're telling me your profit margin is low?

You're much better at it than just stealing.

Er Ya then said, "Madam, you don't believe his nonsense. He's clearly just flattering you because he saw we brought guards with us today and knows we have some background!"

Eight guards stood in two rows at the entrance, their backs straight and their eyes wary.

Such extravagance cannot be obtained simply by having money.

The waiter blushed. "Madam, if you need anything in the future, our shop can deliver it to your door. You won't have to come out and run around."
