Sun Accountant rewrote it and said to Gu Shiliu: "I heard quite a few housekeepers withdrew their shares from the Marchioness, and went to add them to Sixth Madam's share."
Gu Shiliu let out a curious "Oh," and asked, "Why, does Sixth Madam buy pepper too?"
Sun Accountant set the Hu Bi on the brush rack atop the brush mountain, his long neck stretching with difficulty, as if about to confide a secret. "Sixth Madam's family has found an avenue; they bought a lot of pepper. Now that pepper in the Capital is priced sky-high, Prince Qi Mansion says no one can sell for now. Madam hasn't managed to buy pepper yet. What I mean is, if you want to make a fortune, you should follow Sixth Madam."
Housekeeper Cao gave Sun Accountant a helpless glance, picked up the small teapot on the table, sipping water while watching how Gu Shiliu would answer.
Gu Shiliu chuckled, saying, "Seventeen is searching outside; how could he not find it?"
