Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Lu Ming supported Lu Yunyang back and entered the house. Lu Ming looked puzzled.

"Master, this is a great idea. If Miss Jiang agrees, it will be a way to make a fortune for her, and we can earn more money. It's a win-win situation."

Lu Yunyang pinched his brows and said quietly, "Have you ever considered the future? If we fail, I don't want her to be implicated by me..."

Lu Ming said indignantly: "I believe that the master will succeed..."

Lu Yunyang felt particularly heavy-hearted. "Even if we succeed, our road ahead will be paved with thorns. You've been with me since childhood, our friends through thick and thin. She's innocent, and I don't want her to suffer with me..."

Lu Ming was speechless for a long time before he asked, "Miss Jiang is different from Mudan and the others, right?"

Is it the same? No, Jiang Jiu is his wife.

Peony, Begonia and the others were just poor women whom he rescued.

That's it.

After returning to the room, Lu Yunyang leaned back on the beauty couch and resumed his unrestrained and carefree appearance as a nobleman.

When Jiang Jiu came in, he saw him like this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, Lu Yunyang is really handsome, eight feet tall, with a graceful demeanor and a graceful figure. He seems to be born to be surrounded by beautiful women, wear fine clothes and eat delicious food, and be cynical.

It’s a pity that she is poor and can’t afford to support Lu Yunyang, a playboy.

"Lu Yunyang, I don't actually have to be your subordinate. As long as we have a cooperative relationship and rebuild Hua Man Lou, we will definitely make a lot of money in Su City. We can just share the profits then."

Rebuilding Hua Man Lou? Lu Yunyang's heart moved slightly. He sat up straight, picked up a piece of dessert on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.

While savoring the food carefully, his mind was also spinning rapidly, calculating his gains and losses.

"Okay, tell me about the rules."

Brothels in ancient times were not entirely low-class. Both flower houses and gambling houses were legitimate industries approved by the imperial court.

But brothels are also divided into different levels. The most elegant ones are those that only sell art but not bodies, such as singing and dancing houses. Hua Man Lou and Hong Xiu Zhao were like this in the past.

Naturally, it is the same when I come to Suzhou.

"Nichang, the courtesan of Hua Man Lou, and my Chu Yu are already famous. Now that they have come to Su City, they should not be buried. Moreover, the combined effect of the two will be even more outstanding."

Lu Yunyang agreed: "When are you planning to open the business?"

Jiang Jiu had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

"It would be even better if the two of them could perform at the Ninth Prince's Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and then wait about twenty days and choose an auspicious time to open the business."

Lu Yunyang was a little confused: "If we want to choose a place, then we can do it, but why does it have to be twenty days?"

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly, full of confidence.

"Because twenty days is a hurdle. If it's too early, they'll lose their mystique. If it's too late, everyone will forget about them. Twenty days is just right. In the meantime, we'll do a good job of publicity and whet people's appetite. I'm sure the opening day will be even more popular than Xiang County."

For some reason, Lu Yunyang looked up at Jiang Jiu at this moment, full of confidence, as if he was sure of winning, and his whole body was glowing.

Lu Yunyang's eyes were moving, his eyebrows were smiling, and tenderness was filled in his eyes.

"Okay, that's a good idea. There are only a few days left until the Dragon Boat Festival. As long as you make sure you can make it in time, I'll go talk to King Qi and I'll definitely make them famous in Su City."

The Dragon Boat Festival in Suzhou is very lively every year, with dragon boat racing, strolling through the flower streets, stilt walking, and land boat racing. The city gates are not closed for three days before and after the fifth day of May, so everyone can have fun in the city all night long.

The sun was shining brightly and the weather was starting to warm up. Lu Yunyang stood in the study, watching Jiang Jiu and the others rehearsing in the yard, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Master, the court has sent out gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival. You should write a letter in reply."

"Master, I have already inquired clearly. The owner of Yiye Pianzhou has indeed not yet appeared. According to their shopkeeper, they need a token and a message. The specific details will only be revealed after meeting the owner. They are unwilling to reveal more."

"Master, Master, Master..."

Lu Ming shouted several times before waking up Lu Yunyang, who was watching intently.

"Master, did you hear what I just reported to you?"

Lu Yunyang touched his nose: "What did you just say?"

Lu Ming's face was filled with speechlessness, and he repeated what he had just said.

Lu Yunyang then said with a hint of impatience: "You still need to ask me about these trivial matters? Just let Mr. Gu handle it. As for the token of the boat, find out clearly and then get back to me."

This time, Lu Ming received the order but did not leave in time. He followed Lu Yunyang's gaze and clicked his tongue twice.

"Everyone says Nichang dances well. In my opinion, Miss Jiang's dance is even more charming. Her every frown and smile seems to captivate the heart. It's really beautiful..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yunyang picked up a book and put it in front of Lu Ming.

"It's nice, but it's not something you should see. Get out of here..."

Lu Ming curled his lips, shrugged, and ran out of the window.

In the yard, Jiang Jiu was demonstrating moves to Nichang. With the advantage of having learned classical dance for ten years when he was a child, he could still give some pointers on some moves.

However, Jiang Jiu's body is naturally graceful and charming, and her movements are all natural and soft. In comparison, Ni Chang is really a bit behind.

"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival Banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion. Let's stop rehearsing here today. Go back and practice it thoroughly. Then go over it tomorrow morning and that'll be it."

Jiang Jiu asked Xia Zhi to bring a blueprint, which showed the clothes prepared for Chu Yu and Nishang to dance.

"Come with me later to get some clothes and change your outfits. If anything doesn't fit, change it as soon as possible."

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Jiu's carriage took the three of them to the best tailor shop in Su City. Chu Yu was dressed in turquoise and Ni Chang was dressed in bright red. Green and red are a classic combination.

The clothes Lu Yunyang made for Jiang Jiu were also finished.

Because Jiang Jiu's fabrics were more expensive, the shopkeeper put them in the inner room. When he went to get the clothes, Jiang Jiu and others were waiting outside.

There was a noisy sound outside.

"It's only ten taels of silver. How can I not afford it? I spent my own money. What does it have to do with you? It's just a matter of courtesy. Don't go too far."

A familiar voice, a familiar face. Jiang Jiu saw Jiang Mingyue's hysterical noise on the street.

The person standing opposite her was Chang Zhili. This was the first time Jiang Jiu saw him. He was thin and had an ordinary appearance. He couldn't be said to be ugly, but he was the kind you wouldn't find in a crowd.

Chang Zhili was obviously filled with anger but he didn't have the courage to express it. He just gently advised: "Ten taels of silver is indeed a lot. It's enough for our annual living expenses. Why do we have to make a set of clothes? Your original clothes are so beautiful, why can't you wear them?"

Jiang Mingyue was furious: "Those are just old clothes, old ones. I am the daughter of a county magistrate. I finally have the opportunity to attend the banquet hosted by the prefect's wife, and you let me wear old clothes..."

Chang Zhili obviously didn't understand: "What's wrong with wearing old clothes? I wear old clothes too. Besides, the prefect advocates frugality and dislikes extravagance. If I dress like this, maybe I can win his favor."

Jiang Mingyue snorted coldly: "Gaining the favor of the prefect? Who do you think you are? If it weren't for my father being the county magistrate, you wouldn't even be able to enter the prefect's house..."
