Zongwu: Blind box shop, Wanwan hits the mark

After leaving the jar shop, Murong Fu asked the four ministers to go back first, while he himself was going to follow Rong Fengxiang who had just left to determine his residential address. When all the cards appeared, he would be able to find a way to get the card in time.

After seeing them all say goodbye and leave, Tong Xiangyu and the others said goodbye to Qin Zhixuan and left. The guests would come to eat soon, and Wuqing finally did not say that she wanted to stay in the jar shop as a maid, but left with Tong Xiangyu and the others.

When Azhu and Abi saw Murong Fu leaving, they didn't even look at them. A bitter smile appeared on their faces, and then they suppressed the feeling of loss in their hearts. Their current master was no longer him.

Afterwards, Wei Zhenzhen and Huang Rong prepared to go to the kitchen to cook, while everyone else went about their own business. Only Ah Zhu and Ah Bi stood there at a loss. Although Wei Zhenzhen had just told them to be more casual and do whatever they wanted, they were used to doing things before. Seeing that all the girls in the jar shop were doing leisure activities, they didn't know what to do and could only stand there looking a little uneasy.

Qin Zhixuan only had time to look at the two of them carefully at this time. He saw Ah Zhu wearing a red dress. Her charming and pretty appearance was only slightly inferior to Wanwan and others. She could also be regarded as a beauty. Her pair of watery eyes seemed very smart, but perhaps because she had just cried, her eyes seemed a little red and swollen, which added a bit of pitiful meaning to her. Her skin was smooth and delicate, as white as snow, crystal clear and smooth. Her slender white hands were rubbing the corners of her clothes awkwardly.

Qin Zhixuan could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from her body.

A-Bi has an oval face and an elegant and beautiful appearance, as beautiful as a flower. There is no coquettishness in her eyes, but a natural gentleness like water, which makes people feel peaceful and happy when looking at her. She wears a green shirt, and the skin exposed outside is also whiter than snow and as smooth as fat, a typical image of a Jiangnan beauty.

But both of them have one characteristic: they have graceful figures, and even their loose long gowns cannot hide their proud figures.

Seeing Qin Zhixuan looking at them with admiring eyes, the two of them seemed even more embarrassed.

"Azhu, it seems you can make cherry ham and plum blossom pickled duck?"

Qin Zhixuan looked at the two of them and slowly asked.

A look of surprise appeared on Ah Zhu's face. She didn't know how Qin Zhixuan knew that these two were her best specialties. She was a little shocked. If Murong Fu were to tell her, he might not know that these were her best specialties.

Ah Zhu came back to her senses and nodded, then replied, "Yes! Yes, sir."

Qin Zhixuan smiled gently and said, "Then go to the backyard and cook with Huang Rong and the others!"

Hearing Qin Zhixuan's words, Ah Zhu responded and looked at Ah Bi beside her worriedly.

A Bi gave her a look to tell her not to worry. She knew that the master in front of her was a little different from the previous Murong Fu. He was very gentle and respectful to them. He did not treat them simply as servants.

Ah Zhu walked towards the backyard to help Huang Rong and Wei Zhenzhen cook.

Qin Zhixuan looked at A-Bi and asked, "A-Bi, can you play the piano?"

He vaguely remembered that A-Bi seemed to be a disciple of Kang Guangling, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and was good at music!

A Bi nodded and said respectfully, "Sir, I will!"

When Qin Zhixuan just mentioned Sister Azhu's specialty, A-Bi had already defined Qin Zhixuan as an omniscient master in her mind, so when she heard Qin Zhixuan directly ask her if she was good at music, she was not too surprised, but answered his question respectfully.

Qin Zhixuan nodded and waved his hand, and a Heavenly Demon Harp suddenly appeared in his hand.

A-Bi's gentle pupils shrank suddenly, as if the piano suddenly appeared in the owner's hands!

"Don't be too nervous, just play one of your best songs!"

A-Bi nodded, put the zither on the table beside her, then took a stool and sat down. After calming herself down, she began to play. After a prelude, A-Bi began to sing softly with a Jiangnan accent in a soft, innocent and crisp voice.

Everyone heard her singing voice, which was extremely sweet and clear. It made people feel indescribably comfortable, and made everyone's already relaxed mood even more cheerful.

Qin Zhixuan was also lying on the reclining chair with a look of enjoyment on his face.

On the other side, Tong Xiangyu and several waiters from the inn took the things they had taken out and rushed back to the inn together.

When passersby saw them, they greeted them enthusiastically: "Shopkeeper Tong, where did you get the treasure again?"

"I went to buy some treasures. Prince Wang, you haven't come to our inn for a drink in a few days!"

Tong Xiangyu walked and chatted with passers-by around her.

"The food in your shop is so delicious that I have to go find a rich man's house and teach his son how to read and write."

A bitter smile appeared on the face of this man called Prince Wang.

Scholars like them consider themselves superior and think that merchants are inferior to them. In the past, they would rather starve to death than teach these people.

But things are different now. If I don’t teach, I won’t have money. If I don’t have money, I can’t go to Tongfu Inn to eat barbecue, listen to folk songs, and watch the girls dancing in Chunmanlou!

This was also the idea proposed by the people from Chunmanlou next door when they came to Tong Xiangyu for cooperation some time ago. Tongfu Inn would provide food and drinks, and the people from Chunmanlou would perform. They only needed 20% of the profits from the guests who spent money at Chunlanlou.

Chunmanlou is different from other brothels. It's full of honest people who only sell their art but not their bodies. They have persisted until now and are almost unable to hold on. After all, people come to the brothel not just to listen to you singing and dancing, so the owner of Chunmanlou can only make a last struggle.

Tong Xiangyu is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After listening to her plan and thinking about it, she felt that this was a good idea. After all, there were queues every day at their Tongfu Inn, and having a place to share the burden was a good choice. She immediately agreed to the cooperation request.

In fact, this is equivalent to Chunmanlou surrendering to Tongfu Inn in disguise and becoming a vassal force of Tongfu Inn, but it sounds better to say it is cooperation.

However, the people in Chunmanlou did not think it was bad. Instead, they felt that this was much better than before. Although it was only 20% profit, this 20% was far more than their previous income. Moreover, they did not need to deliberately please others in exchange for rewards. If they were not afraid of hard work, they could even work as a waiter in Tongfu Inn during the day and earn a lot of income every month.

Under Tong Xiangyu's planning, the two stores would hold some activities from time to time, and even some literati and poets were attracted.

This young master Wang was one of them. When Bai Zhantang and the others passed by him with a mirror, he happened to see himself in the mirror. A look of horror suddenly appeared on his face. He took a few steps back in fear and sat down on the ground. He pointed at the mirror in Bai Zhantang and the others' hands with a trembling finger and said, "There...there is a monster!"

Bai Zhantang looked at the reflection of Young Master Wang inside, and a helpless look appeared on his face. It seemed that Young Master Wang really took the compliments of the girls in Chunmanlou seriously.

Seeing someone uglier than himself, Li Dazui immediately smiled and kindly explained, "Don't be afraid, Prince Wang. This is a mirror. It has the same effect as a bronze mirror. The person inside is you!"

Hearing Li Dazui's words, Prince Wang subconsciously retorted, "How could it be me? I'm handsome and elegant!"

But he saw that the monster in the mirror's movements were exactly the same as his own.

Prince Wang raised his hand in despair and shook his head. He saw that the person in the mirror was doing exactly the same actions as himself. He was suddenly struck by lightning. This person who looked like a monster was actually himself!

Prince Wang suddenly became dejected and looked like he had lost all hope in life. He never thought that he looked so ugly.

Tong Xiangyu, who was standing by, glared at Li Dazui in anger, then said soothingly, "Master Wang, although your appearance isn't entirely satisfactory, you have talent and achievements. Nowadays, many people look at what's inside."

When Prince Wang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Tong Xiangyu expectantly and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, are you telling the truth?"

Tong Xiangyu nodded, thinking to herself that some people look at the inner qualities, but not me.

Tong Xiangyu asked Bai Zhantang and the others to leave.

The dressing mirrors and solar-powered unlimited draft beer machines they carried also attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.

"What are Shopkeeper Tong and the others holding in their hands?"

"I heard it's a mirror and a cabinet that produces something called beer."

"Mirror? Is it the same as a bronze mirror?"

"That's much better than a bronze mirror. I heard it can even see the size of eyebrows!"

"What kind of beer is that?"

"I don't know about that. I'm going to go take a look. Brother, do you want to come with me?"

"That's what I was thinking. Let's go together!"

Then I saw a large group of people following Tong Xiangyu and the others. I didn’t know which gang they were from, so I thought they were from some gang.

Outside the Tongfu Inn, Zhou Botong was jumping up and down beside the carriage, complaining in boredom, "Where has the owner of this hotel gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tong Xiangyu leading a large group of people walking towards Tongfu Inn, which made Zhou Botong and Xiaolongnu stunned.

Xiao Longnu's clear and cold voice rang out: "Old Naughty Boy, is this Tongfu Inn a shady place?"

Zhou Botong scratched his head, also looking puzzled: "It doesn't look like a shady shop. I've been here once before!"
