Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Xiao Guoer turned her head suddenly, her eyes flashing with excitement, and her originally listless expression disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement: "You said there is a vacant shop?"

Tang Jingchen shook his head slightly, with a helpless look on his face. Although there were many shops of the Tang family on Yongxing Street, there were really none that were vacant.

Xiao Guo'er couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She held her chin with one hand and murmured to herself, "Then what else can you do?"

Tang Jingchen did not answer her immediately, but smiled mysteriously: "Please be patient, I will tell you when I find a suitable shop."

Xiao Guo'er was full of doubts and couldn't help complaining: "Why are you so secretive? Why can't you just say it directly?"

Tang Jingchen raised his lips slightly, and took a sip of tea leisurely, as if he didn't want to reveal too much. He had already made plans in his mind, just waiting for the right time to give Xiao Guoer a big surprise.

A few days later, Xiao Guoer came to Jinxiang Tower as usual and happened to see Tang Xi sorting out the ink pad.

She suddenly noticed that she was running low on ink and decided to go out and buy some new ones.

While walking on the road, Xiao Guoer accidentally saw a shop busy repairing the wall. It seemed that the scale of the project was not small. Especially the wall next to the street, which had collapsed for some reason.

Several muscular men were rebuilding the wall with bricks, working hard.

But there was something strange about the newly built wall, as there were actually two doors.

The shop was not very big. Xiao Guoer remembered that it was originally a spice shop with a storefront that was neither too big nor too small, so why did it need two doors?

Xiao Guoer looked at it for a few more times, but didn't think too much about it. She didn't think about it because other people left a few doors open, so she just wanted to buy the ink as soon as possible and continued walking forward without stopping.

In the spice shop, Tang Jingchen, who was facing away from the street, pointed with his hand and said to the shopkeeper, "Build a wall at this location to separate a small shop. The spice shop will be here from now on."

The shopkeeper frowned and complained, "Young Master, our spice shop is not big to begin with. After this change, there won't be enough shelves to put the spices on."

Tang Jingchen soothed him, "Remove two shelves and place the spice boxes more densely. Previously, there were two in one grid, but now there are four. Some rare and hard-to-sell items can be placed in the backyard warehouse. If a customer specifically wants them, you can go and get them. It's nothing more than making two more trips."

The shopkeeper looked unhappy, "This... this..."

A good store suddenly lost half its space. It would be hard for anyone to accept this.

Tang Jingchen patted his shoulder and said, "How about this, if you and the guys in the store work harder in the future, your salary will be increased by 30%, okay?"

This sentence made the wrinkled face of the shopkeeper relax. He bowed and smiled, "Okay, okay, thank you for your consideration."

Tang Jingchen walked out of the shop and saw that it was only eight shops away from Jinxiang Tower, and only a hundred steps away. It was very close, and he nodded with satisfaction.

In April, on a day at the end of the month, the Grain Full Festival had passed and the capital city had entered the increasingly hot summer season.

The young girls and wives also changed into cool clothes, either silk or gauze, which were light and breathable, and could relieve heat and reduce body temperature. If that were not enough, everyone held a round fan in their hands, and as they waved it, the unique sweet fragrance of powder on the girls' bodies spread around, attracting the frivolous playboys to look back frequently.

Today's Xiaoguo'er is a completely different person than before.

Normally, she was always dressed in grey, old, plain and simple coarse cloth clothes, but today she changed into a bright and colorful royal blue silk robe with purple floral patterns. Not only did she wear a hair crown on her head, but she also wore a warm and white jade hairpin.

He looks refreshed and elegant, and his every move is elegant and humble. If you don't look closely, you might mistakenly think he is a young master carefully brought up by some aristocratic family!

However, taking a closer look, the conspicuous scar on his cheek and his slightly dark yellow and rough skin clearly revealed that he was not from a wealthy family.

Fortunately, those round, bright eyes are particularly smart and bright, as if they can see through everything in the world and human hearts.

Today is of special significance to Xiao Guoer - the lottery shop she runs has finally had its grand opening!

For this purpose, she dressed herself so solemnly and appropriately.

I still remember that two days ago, Tang Jingchen brought her here and told her that this was what he had thought of - to divide the original spice shop into two halves, and leave the smaller one for her to use.

At that time, she was full of surprise and excitement. After the excitement passed, she felt a warm feeling in her heart: he actually... actually demolished a wall for her and transformed it into a shop like this!

My heart is filled with mixed feelings of sweetness and bitterness, as complicated as an overturned bottle of five flavors.

Why was he so kind to her? She couldn't help but feel happy.

A bright red, eye-catching satin sign hung high above the door of the lottery shop, and the deafening sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the entire Yongxing Street.

Although the lottery shop was not big, it was newly opened after all, and the news about the new lottery had been hyped for a long time, and it had spread throughout the capital. Many people were curious and looking forward to this wonderful thing that was said to make people rich overnight.
