Chapter 1361: Return Gift

Moreover, some of the emperor’s trusted aides actually knew Qin Wenzheng’s identity and were naturally on his side.

Actually, the rank of an official was secondary. The most important thing was that the current Qin Wenzheng was a favored minister in front of the emperor.

Everyone could see how much the emperor valued him. His future was limitless. Those who were smart knew that they should prioritize befriending him.

Therefore, to Gu Yundong, Qin Wenzheng was definitely the best candidate to be her backer.

She just didn’t know when he would return to the capital.

Gu Yundong thought about it and quickly suppressed everything. Only then did she continue talking with Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu chatted until almost noon. She only went back when it was time to cook.

She carried a basket of bean buns, and Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao to return the gift with the white sugar and canned food. This had always been her return gift.

Mrs. Yu took a look and her face was filled with surprise.

She had never seen canned food before, but white sugar was rare in the capital. However, they were almost never gifts, especially not the first meeting gift.

Not only was this thing expensive, but it was also not easy to buy.

This daughter-in-law of the Shao family was really generous.

Mrs. Yu walked out of the Shao family’s house in a daze.

Gu Yundong finally heaved a sigh of relief. Tong Shuitao poured her a cup of hot tea and sighed. “Sister-in-law Yu is really eloquent.”

Gu Yundong nodded in agreement. It was also a skill to be able to chat so well with the first time they met.

However, she did know a lot from Mrs. Yu.

The most important thing now was to prepare the charcoal fire, lest they wouldn’t have a place to buy it when it got cold.

Thus, in the afternoon, Gu Yundong brought Tong Shuitao out.

The two of them went to the shop first. Last time, because of Mother Chen, they only stayed at the door for a moment and did not have the time to take a good look at the inside.

Due to Bai Muzi’s matter, she did not have the time to come over these few days. Since she was out today, she could take a look at the situation of the shop. She would draw the blueprint later so that she could find someone to renovate it.

Gu Yundong opened the door of the shop and saw someone peeking out from the shop next door. They might suspect that she was here to rent a house.

Gu Yundong ignored them and strolled around the shop.

Perhaps Mother Chen had planned to rent it out, so the shop was very clean. At this moment, there was only a little dust, and it did not look messy.

The shop here was somewhat similar to the one in the Xuanhe Prefecture, but this one was bigger.

Another thing was that the position of the backyard was different. It would not make much of a difference if she renovated it later.

Gu Yundong looked at the shop in front of her and then at the backyard.

The backyard was originally for people to live in. It was also a huge project to set it up as private rooms.

As for the second floor, Gu Yundong was very satisfied after looking at it. This floor was slightly higher and had a better view. It was also as spacious as the first floor and could receive many guests.

Gu Yundong rubbed her chin and walked around the shop. Finally, she went back in satisfaction.

On the way back, they strolled around Hetai Alley and found a few shops with relatively fair prices. After buying things like charcoals and furnaces and heaters to ward off the cold, the two of them slowly returned home.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Yundong took out a brush and paper and began to draw the renovation plan of the shop.

Actually, there was no need to think too much about it. The interior decoration was similar to the Xuanhe Prefecture’s New Tea Pavilion. Gu Yundong felt that since it was a branch, it would be best if the shops were all of the same style. That way, they would have more characteristics.
