The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day
Chapter 217: Get the money!
There were many fans of "Red Fox Girl" who were just as anxious as Du Yurao, all waiting to see the so-called third volume of the theatrical version. Of course, some noble ladies in Beijing were even more concerned about what Yanlou actually did for a living. Did it just rely on selling books?
Soon, everyone heard the latest news about Yan Lou.
Early in the morning of August 22, people passing by Baxingfang discovered that the painting board hanging outside the window of Yanlou had been updated. This time, the content was even more novel and bizarre.
Deserted Village Horror
You and your companions mistakenly enter a deserted village shrouded in fog, full of mysteries and dangers. In the end, who can escape from the deserted village?
Death of the Number One Scholar——
On the wedding night, the newly crowned number one scholar dies unexpectedly: wife, maid, housekeeper, groom... who will you become? And who is the real murderer?
[Yanlou] An exclusive indoor adventure and reasoning game, welcome all the fairies in Beijing to unlock them one by one.
[There is only one truth, the next Beijing detective is you! ]
This……
What are these?
Passersby were stunned. Although they couldn't understand it, they still thought it was very impressive.
Soon, Yanlou's latest promotional posters became a hot topic among the people in Beijing. At this time, apart from [Cotton], no other existence could compete with Yanlou in traffic.
……
Meng House.
Meng Haowen was secretly reading the second volume of "The Red Fox Girl" when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. He immediately hid the book in his arms out of habit. When he looked up again, he saw his sister Meng Nianqiao walking in.
"Third sister, it's you!" Meng Haowen breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was that brat Hao Wu.
"Weren't you overseeing the shop today? Why are you back so soon?"
Meng Haowen looked at Meng Nianqiao in surprise, who had a cold expression on her face. Some time ago, she had bought a nice shop and everything was almost ready. She was just waiting for the first batch of jade wares to be shipped in from other places so that she could open for business.
This girl was so happy when she went out this morning, why is she like this when she comes back?
"I'm in a bad mood and don't want to stay outside."
Meng Nianqiao sat directly in front of Meng Haowen and spoke coldly.
"Oh, who is so blind to offend our Meng family's precious daughter? Tell big brother and he will help you vent your anger!" Meng Haowen coaxed his sister in a soft voice.
"It's still that Yanlou. They haven't even opened yet, but they've already started doing all these messed up, unconventional things."
Today, after Meng Nianqiao went out, she kept hearing passers-by discussing Yanlou. When she arrived at the shop, she heard people talking about it again. The most annoying thing was that when she went out to eat, she met a few familiar noble ladies from the capital. They were also asking around when Yanlou would open, and they were all very impatient.
"Yanlou?"
Meng Haowen, who was standing by, suddenly brightened up when he heard his sister's words. "I've heard about Yanlou, too. I want to go there, but the servant I sent out to investigate told me that Yanlou only accepts female guests. Isn't this discrimination against us men? I'm going to report them to the government office in the capital!"
Meng Nianqiao: ...
"What's so good about Yanlou!" Meng Nianqiao was depressed. It would be fine if Yanlou was opened by someone else, but it had to be opened by that girl Gu Yanhuan.
Why should she?
"There is "The Third Volume of Red Fox Girl" in Yanlou. I want to read it." Meng Haowen answered very sincerely.
"Look, look, what are you looking at? Don't forget that you are still under house arrest by your father. Even if you weren't under house arrest, you, a grown man, can't enter Yanlou!"
Meng Nianqiao gave Meng Haowen a look of disappointment.
Meng Haowen immediately felt like an eggplant hit by frost, while Meng Nianqiao beside him continued to say: "That Yanlou is Gu Yanhuan's property. What if she makes money from it?"
"How much more can she make?" This time, Meng Haowen raised his head and spoke with disdain: "Don't forget, Daddy and the others are busy with the cotton business recently. It's a very profitable business. Even if the Gu family opened ten Yanlou, they couldn't compare to us. In terms of wealth, they will never be able to compare with us."
Meng Haowen is still very confident about this.
**
What Meng Haowen said was not wrong. The price of cotton in the capital has skyrocketed, and has increased to about ten times that of previous years. It seems that it will continue to rise, but it is basically reaching its upper limit.
Uncle Ping did not let Jiang Jiang down. He sold all the cotton in Jiang Jiang's warehouse at a price a little more than ten times the price. In a blink of an eye, the cotton in that warehouse turned into more than 20,000 taels of silver.
When Jiang Jiang saw the boxes of silver in the backyard of Fu Sheng Bookstore, her eyes were almost blinded.
This is the charm of money!
So powerful, so dazzling!
"Miss Jiang, do you want cash or banknotes?" Looking at Jiang Jiang's curved eyebrows, Uncle Ping asked her with a smile while standing aside.
"I want..." Jiang Jiang was about to say cash, but considering that there was too much silver, there was no place to put it after moving it back home, and he also had to always think about preventing theft.
"Silver notes." Jiang Jiang replied.
Although she also wanted to sleep on the shiny silver, but... it was too uncomfortable.
"Then I'll take people to the bank to exchange them for silver notes." Uncle Ping directed a group of people to carry out the silver. Jiang Jiang only regretted that she didn't have a mobile phone. Otherwise, she would have taken a photo with the silver coins. No, nine photos, she would have to post a nine-square grid directly!
and so……
Without the Internet and mobile phones, there is indeed a lot of fun missing.
"Congratulations, Boss Jiang!"
At this time, Gu Yanqing walked slowly to Jiang Jiang and teased with a smile on his face.
"Haha, you're welcome. It's my treat today."
Jiang Jiang said proudly, "I'll invite you to dinner at Mingyue Tower. Of course, if you don't like Mingyue Tower, Hualou will also be fine!"
Hualou is the best restaurant in the capital, but I heard that it belongs to the Meng family, so Gu Yanhuan never goes there, and Jiang Jiang naturally has never been there either.
"No need to go out to eat."
Gu Yanqing directly rejected Jiang Jiang's invitation.
Recently, the managers of various families in the capital city have been running around in various major markets, and Gu Yanqing doesn't want to be bumped into by them.
"Uncle Ping bought some food tonight and he's going to cook it himself. Try his cooking skills; they're not inferior to the famous chefs in the capital."
"Uncle Ping is cooking?" After hearing what Gu Yanqing said, Jiang Jiang was also surprised. Uncle Ping can actually cook?
It’s ok that the busy Gu Yanqing is a good cook, but could it be that the old man Pingshu is also a hidden cooking god?
"Then I'll stay today and taste Uncle Ping's cooking."
Half an hour later, Uncle Ping brought back a stack of silver bills for Jiang Jiang. They were all large-denomination silver bills from Qingyun Money House, each worth one thousand taels.
The smell of money is addictive.
With ten thousand taels of silver in his pocket, Jiang Jiang finally felt at ease.
This person can only be confident if he has money.
Jiang Jiang originally wanted to give some share to Uncle Ping and Gu Yanqing, but both of them rejected her——
Free help?
Is there such a good thing?
Jiang Jiang used to think that the people of Hezhou were simple and honest, but now...
She felt that Gu Yanqing must have a backup plan.
This bastard is very cunning.
Gu Yanqing: ...
