Xie Jiusi originally thought that Master Shuiyun was an experienced old man over fifty years old.

I originally thought that when I met Master Shuiyun, I would definitely worship him as his master and ask him to accept me as his disciple.

But now I know he is just a half-grown boy, so I have to change my strategy.

"How about we become sworn brothers? What do you think, sir?"

Su Yuejian breathed a sigh of relief.

Startled her.

Just now, when I saw Xie Jiusi's straight eyes, I wanted to eat me and almost thought he was a homosexual.

She calmed herself down and asked, "If I agree, then the cooperating family head also agrees?"

"That's natural."

Su Yuejian nodded and said with a smile,

"Okay, I promise."

Given the Xie family's financial status, being able to become brothers with Xie Jiusi would be a hundred benefits for her and would not cause any harm.

Xie Jiusi was overjoyed, closed his folding fan, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Then he immediately asked Gan He to prepare two glasses of fragrant wine.

Xie Jiusi asked,

"I still don't know how to address you, my dear brother."

Su Yuejian was slightly stunned.

Shuiyun is just a pseudonym, she forgot about it.

He rolled his eyes and replied,

"My last name is Lu. The beauty of Jinjiang River and the world is my name, Lu Jin."

Xie Jiusi nodded and picked up the wine glass.

"Brother Jin."

"Thank you, brother."

Then they toasted the sky and earth outside the window and became sworn brothers.

The two sat opposite each other and drank and laughed.

Xie Jiusi continued to inquire,

"Brother Jin is very talented and knowledgeable. There aren't many families with the surname Lu in Kyoto. I wonder which family he comes from?"

Su Yuejian replied,

"My family fell into hardship when I was young. Fortunately, my ancestors had some connections with the Duke of Protectorate's mansion, so I took refuge there."

"I've always been with Mr. Lu San, so naturally I've learned and seen more than the average person."

The Lu family of the Duke of Huguo's mansion has been a family of nobles for generations, and has a total of three sons.

Only the third son, Lu Zhan, gave up his military career to pursue literature. He passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination. Now he serves as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. It is rumored that he is a romantic and talented man, and was once the most famous talent in Tianjin.

Xie Jiusi thought for a moment, then nodded.

Su Yuejian continued,

"I am of humble status and have a hard life, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated with Brother Xie for money."

Xie Jiusi lowered his eyes and noticed that his fingers were white, tender and slender, much smaller than those of an ordinary man.

But there were many old scars and a thin layer of calluses on his hands, which definitely showed that he was not a pampered young man.

Su Yue was afraid that he would delve further into the matter, so she changed the subject.

"Are you still happy with the Qingshan Yunwu that I gave to Brother Xie that day?"

Xie Jiusi said happily,

"Brother Jin's craftsmanship is undoubtedly excellent. Our tea orders are already booked until the end of the year!"

Su Yuejian's lips curled slightly.

“Yunwu tea is good, but with such a long wait, it’s inevitable that some customers will change their minds midway.”

Su Yuejian took out two envelopes from her arms and handed them to him.

He continued, "These are my new research. One is a tea recipe, and the other is a skin care cream recipe."

"Tea vendors in the market are highly competitive, and there's nothing new to offer. This new tea recipe is scented tea."

Tea drinking is popular in Tianjin, and tea is a hobby for people of all ages. Therefore, there are many tea merchants and the teas are mostly similar.

If it weren't for the Tianmu Qingding tea exclusively provided by Master Shuiyun, Cha Baixi would have found it difficult to stand out among the many shops.

Xie Jiusi was puzzled.

"Flower tea? Flowers can be used to make tea?"

Su Yuejian explained,

"Of course, so-called flower tea is made from fresh flowers. The process of weaving, scenting, picking, and frying the flowers takes much less time and effort than ordinary tea. Furthermore, different flowers are available throughout the year, with a wide variety of varieties, and each flower has different effects and flavors."

"What I wrote above are rose tea and jasmine tea. You can try making a small amount first. If customers like it, I will release other flower teas."

Xie Jiusi held the prescription tightly in his hand and looked at him with great joy.

It's amazing that you can come up with such a novel and good idea.

He frowned slightly when he saw the second recipe for skin care cream.

"Brother Jin, do you know about these girly things?"

Su Yuejian suddenly had an idea and responded, "My ancestors were in the cosmetics business and left behind several ancient recipes. This recipe contains one of them."

Xie Jiusi nodded without any doubt.

Su Yuejian thought of Yuzhu's round face which had become smooth and shiny recently, and smiled brightly.

"Thank you, brother. This recipe hasn't been named yet, so let's call it Jade Face Cream."

Xie Jiusi said yes and handed the two letters to Gan He.

Since ancient times, women have attached great importance to their appearance. There are many dignitaries in Kyoto, and noble ladies spend a lot of money on beauty and skin care.

If this Jade Cream can be successful, the income will be more substantial than the income from the tea business!

Although Xie Jiusi showed no emotion on his face, he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

This Lu Jin is really a strange person!

After finishing the serious business, Su Yuejian relaxed a little.

Chatting,

"Could it be that this Changlefang is Brother Xie's property?"

Changlefang is a brothel that suddenly appeared in Kyoto a few years ago, and the owner behind it has always been unknown.

The girls in the alley are all outstanding in appearance, versatile and considerate, especially the top courtesan Miss Song Xiangxiang, who is as beautiful as a fairy and her dancing skills are the best in Tianjin. Many noblemen spend huge sums of money just to see this beauty.

Xie Jiusi chuckled and said,

"Businessmen will naturally not miss any profitable business."

Although Xie Jiusi was engaged in business, the Xie family was the head of the five major families in Tianjin. Naturally, such a prominent family could not be involved in businesses like brothels.

Changlefang is his secret property, but of course he has more than just this one shameful business.

Su Yue saw his words as an implicit admission.

Although Changlefang is nice, the most famous den of brothel in Kyoto is still Baihualou.

Su Yuejian knew that Baihua Tower was actually Xiao Chengchang's property, which made a fortune every day and had a considerable income. It could be said to be his most profitable wallet.

Su Yue saw a sneer on his lips, and thought that it might not be the same in the future.

She smiled at Xie Jiusi and said,

"Brother Xie, do you want to take Changlefang to the next level?"

Xie Jiusi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the young man.

"Brother Jin, what brilliant ideas do you have?"

The young man kept it a secret and said,

"Thank you, brother, you'll know in a few days."

After saying that, she gave him a mysterious smile, with a playful smile in her cold amber eyes, smart and clear.

Xie Jiusi looked into her eyes, his expression slightly startled, and he was dazzled by these beautiful eyes for a moment.

It was getting late and she had been out for a long time. If she didn't go back, it would arouse suspicion.

Su Yuejian told him that if he had any problems in the future, he could write a letter and put it under the Buddhist shrine in the City God Temple in the north of the city, and he would appear after receiving the letter.

Before leaving, Xie Jiusi gave her a brocade box containing a thick stack of banknotes.

He said it was a gift to her to show his sincerity in cooperation.

Su Yuejian was also shocked!

It turns out that the richest man is the one with the most wealth!

He spent a whole box of banknotes at once!

It just so happens that Ji Medical Hall is waiting for money.

She didn't bother to be polite with him and accepted it readily.

Gan He sent her out.

When I was going downstairs and passed by the second floor, the door of the private room next to it was wide open.

A familiar voice came from inside, and she paused and looked carefully.

The fat and bloated figure was particularly conspicuous among the young men. It was Wu's son Su Tianjie.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of beautiful women, with a lewd look on his face and constantly speaking obscene and frivolous words.

Su Yue showed sarcasm when they met.

No wonder he has been staying indoors preparing for the exam and not seeing anyone since he entered the mansion.

It turned out that these were all pretexts, and they had actually sneaked out long ago to have fun in this place of debauchery.

She glanced at him with disdain, then quickly left Changlefang.
