Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

In the Sijin Pavilion in Liwen City, Yuan Honghou sat in the shop for a long time before the young owner came in slowly through the small door at the back, and smiled at him: "Boss Yuan is a rare visitor, why don't you send someone to follow me if you want to come today?" Let me know. I have the habit of taking a nap, so the servants don’t dare to disturb me. They only report when I wake up. I’m really sorry for keeping Boss Yuan waiting.”

The young owner said he was sorry, but he didn't invite Yuan Honghou into the room to talk, and just sat in the shop where people come and go, obviously without much sincerity.

This is to avenge her old master, Yuan Honghou is clear in his heart, he let those two maids hang out for a day, and now this little girl who looks like Jinge also hangs out for him for a long time.It's just that he dismounted that surnamed Yun that day because of his long-standing enmity with Yun Zhimiao and the Xu family, and what identity does this little girl like Jinge hate him?Is it Yun's dog?It's ridiculous.

Yuan Honghou didn't like Sijin Pavilion's absurd way of making money but not earning money. Today, seeing this young master's behavior, he despises her even more.But this time, after all, he was asking for something from others, so he had to suppress these dissatisfaction, pretending not to understand the intention of the person in front of him, and hypocritically said with a smile: "These are small things, I came to find Gingko girl this time, there is a big problem I want to do business with the ginkgo girl."

"This is so strange, I don't know what business I have with Boss Yuan." Yin Xing said with sarcasm.Although she doesn't work as a servant girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still uses the address she used to be called in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The reason is similar to that of her mother.

Her mother called Mrs. Nanyan, but Nanyan was not her name, because according to the customs, it is inconvenient for women to let too many people know her boudoir name, and Mrs. Nanyan is doing such a big business, it is impossible not to let people know her name .She is married and can no longer be called by her real surname, and she doesn't want to be named by her husband's surname, so she took such an alias.

As for Ginkgo, she is not her stepfather's biological daughter, so it is not easy to change her surname to her stepfather's, and her scumbag biological father always feels disgusted and in a bad mood when she mentions it, and she doesn't want to call it back to her original surname, so she imitated her mother and simply used a Pseudonym.

She was grateful to the Yun family for being kind to her, and Mrs. Nanyan was also very grateful to the Yun family for returning her daughter's deed of sale to her, expelling her daughter to slavery, and allowing their mother and daughter to be reunited, so they both decided to go outside Also continue to use the name "Ginkgo".

Outsiders have no way of knowing this kind of secret, at most they know that Gingko used to be a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion, few people know what her name was when she was a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yuan Honghou didn't think about this, but he came to Sijin Pavilion today not unprepared, he chuckled immediately: "Ginkgo girl has to go out for business, if Madam Nanyan finds out, I'm afraid she won't be happy."

Hearing Mrs. Nanyan mentioned by him, Ginkgo's expression lightened as expected: "What does this have to do with my mother?"

"It has nothing to do with Mrs. Nanyan, but it has something to do with you, Miss Ginkgo. I heard that Mrs. Nanyan also has a son who is now in charge of the Sijin Pavilion in the capital. Miss Gingko has been here for a while in Bozhou, right? Yinan, you deliberately undersold a lot of goods for your old master, so you are not afraid of being compared by your younger brother in the account?"

Ginkgo didn't answer, but her complexion became more and more ugly. Yuan Honghou saw the drama, and hit the iron while it was hot: "Not to mention the difference between men and women, your brother grew up by Madam Nanyan's side since childhood, and he has never been separated from Madam Nanyan. "It's only natural for Mrs. Nanyan to prefer him. Compared with him, you have lost a lot in terms of family affection. If you don't have the advantage in ability, what else can you use to compete with your brother?"

They are also the children of Mrs. Nan Yan. You have suffered a lot while living in exile, but he is held in the palm of his hand. In the end, he even got the most of the family wealth. Ginkgo girl is angry! "

Gingko's face darkened, and she stood up "噗", took a deep breath, and then said kindly to Yuan Hong: "It's too noisy outside, Boss Yuan please come inside."

Let him go into the backyard for a detailed discussion, and most of the matter has been completed.Yuan Honghou was proud of himself, but he still put on a look of resentment for Ginkgo, and followed Ginkgo into the backyard hall of Sijin Pavilion.

Ginkgo sat down at the host seat, and invited Yuan Honghou to sit at the guest seat. After the servants had served tea, she leaned forward and asked Yuan Honghou: "Then what should I do according to Boss Yuan's request?"

Holding the teacup, Yuan Honghou said with a smile: "Miss Gingko, why did you forget that Yuan is here to discuss a big business with you? As long as this business is completed, why don't Mrs. Nanyan treat you differently?"

"The business you're talking about is related to the shark?" Ginkgo asked.

"Exactly." Yuan Honghou replied.

Ginkgo was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "It's not that I want to save Boss Yuan's face, Boss Yuan must have heard about it. I used to be taken care of by Ms. Yun when I was a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I promised her not to take care of the shark before." How can Renxiao sell it to any brothel related to Yuan's firm?"

Yuan Honghou laughed even more smugly when he heard this: "That girl from the Yun family is still a little tender, she only said that if you don't sell the shark silk to the brothel related to Yuan's firm, then you can sell it to us Yuan's firm The silk and satin shop, isn’t this not a violation of your agreement, but also a business?”

"This...isn't very good. Although there are some loopholes in her words, she meant that. She told me not to cooperate with you..." Ginkgo hesitated.

"Miss Ginkgo! My silly girl! Why are you still so confused?" Yuan Honghou complained bitterly, "Who is her surname Yun? You miss the old days and call her Miss Yun, but in fact, she is a wanted criminal by the court." The current situation is chaotic, and the court can't take care of arresting her, but there will always be a day when it will be stabilized.

To put it bluntly, even if today's battle is defeated, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, the remaining few will not allow Prince Pingzhang's flesh and blood to flow out. Isn't that just adding to yourself?She and Prince Pingzhang's orphan will definitely be liquidated. It is God's blessing that you left the Prime Minister's Mansion a few years ago, why bother to follow them into the muddy water? "

Gingko's eyes were shaken, but she shook her head after a long time: "She has kindness to me..."

"It's not a matter of being kind or not. She owes you a kindness. If you help her once, you have paid her back. Otherwise, if she is in trouble now, and she is inevitably nervous, you can give her some money." If you can't get rid of it, it's enough.

You have to know, what you are doing now is not you alone to repay the favor, you are tying your entire Sijin Pavilion together with these two rebels, even if you are willing, is Mrs. Nanyan willing?Even if Mrs. Nan Yan doesn't say anything for your sake, your stepfather and your younger brother have nothing to do with the Yun family, would you be willing?The husband and wife's pillows are blown by the wind, and the son is acting coquettishly on his mother's lap, can Mrs. Nanyan rest assured, can the Sijin Pavilion be taken care of by you? "

Yuan Honghou has been in business for so many years, and it is not an empty show that he has grown Yuan's firm into such a big business. The ability to seduce people with words and swords is indeed worthy of praise. Ginkgo was left speechless with a few words. It was gone.

Move it with emotion, understand it with reason, and then lure it with profit.Yuan Honghou was well versed in this method, and when he saw that Ginkgo was tempted, he offered his own price: "Ginkgo girl, Yuan has always been trustworthy, and I will guarantee that you will not suffer from doing business with me. How about this, how much will she give you surnamed Yun?" For a piece of merman silk, I will pay double the price."

Ginkgo was silent.

"three times!"

Ginkgo still shouldn't, Yuan Honghou gritted his teeth: "Five times!"

Five times sounds like a lot, but compared to the monthly profit of all the brothels along the Liwen River, it is still acceptable. Besides, it is not necessary to make new clothes for all the girls, just a few sets in each store.

"Ten times!" Facing Yuan Honghou's offer, Ginkgo suddenly said, "I still have 35 merman silk here, and the price is 5000 taels."

"You're crazy!" Yuan Honghou exclaimed in surprise, "The monthly profits of my many brothels add up to less than 5000 taels!"

"But the benefits that the merman silk can bring you is more than a month." Talking about business, Ginkgo regained his composure.

Ginkgo is clear-headed, and Yuan Honghou is not stupid: "That's hard to say. Those people are just trying to make something new. How long can this thing be fresh? It can be as short as a few months, and it can't be as long as a year or so. When everyone gets used to it, how can it be?" Is it still as popular as it is now?"

"Boss Yuan's words are wrong." Yin Xing said, "The freshness in Liwen City is over, what about other places? Miss Yun can make such a gimmick for this shark, Boss Yuan can draw a ladle like a gourd, go If you do it elsewhere, do it differently and make money?"

This is reasonable, Yuan Honghou has to admit, but ten times is still too expensive.

"2 taels, I'll buy them all."

"Impossible." Gingko shook her head, "Miss Yun didn't even spend 5000 taels to hold Qin Ji. I'll give you a cheap price. Why don't you use this money to hold another one yourself?"

"That's 3 taels!" Yuan Honghou was forced to back down one more step.

Gingko insisted on refusing, saying that the risk of shipping goods in this world is too high, and she spent a lot of effort to get this batch of goods, and she would not sell any less: "Since we can't agree on an agreement, Boss Yuan, please go back, thank Boss Yuan today As a reminder, I did this business myself."

Yuan Honghou is in a hurry now, Yurenxiao can't produce many horses a year, and he has to find a way to get them from Changhe country. Maybe all this year's crops are here. If Ginkgo is used elsewhere, he will continue How to save his business for a few months? !

He was a little worried that Ginkgo and that girl surnamed Yun would join forces to cheat, but now that Ginkgo is so resolute, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

"Thirty-five thousand taels is 5000 taels! I'll send someone to send the bank notes in a while." Yuan Honghou said ruthlessly. Although the money is quite a lot, it is not too much for him.

"You don't need banknotes, you need cash, and you can convert it into gold."

"What do you want so much cash for?" Yuan Honghou was puzzled. More than 3 taels of cash would have to be loaded into several carts, not to mention the inconvenience of storage. Now that the outside is so chaotic, it is inevitable to attract thieves when taking out the goods.

Ginkgo smiled: "When will Boss Yuan open your bank to Changhe Kingdom, so that the people there will also recognize your bank notes, so I don't have to bother."

"You want to use the money to go to Changhe country to buy goods? You Sijin Pavilion can still get mermaid silk this year?"

After the business was settled, Gingko's attitude towards Yuan Honghou was much better. Since Yuan Honghou was interested in her goods, she was also willing to introduce to Yuan Honghou: "The goods I have are from last year, and I should be able to get forty or fifty horses this year." look."

Yuan Honghou's thoughts changed, and he said to Ginkgo: "You can cash in cash, but I have a condition. When your new batch of mermaid silk arrives, you can only sell it to me."

Ginkgo doesn't care: "As long as Boss Yuan is willing to pay, everything is easy to talk about."

Yuan Honghou was afraid that Ginkgo would renege on the contract in the future, so he asked Ginkgo to sign a contract on the spot, stating that if the new batch of Yurenxiao sold to others in violation of the contract, the Sijin Pavilion in Liwen City would be used as compensation.

The two pressed their fingerprints on the contract, and got the government to stamp it as a deposit, so Yuan Honghou went back with peace of mind, and asked someone to send money over that night.As expected, the [-] cash silver was loaded into several carts, and it was transported to Sijin Pavilion through four or five streets from the warehouse of Yuan's Commercial Company, which attracted many people to stop and watch.

On the other hand, Ginkgo was also very forthright. As soon as the money was in hand, he asked the staff to send all 35 merman silks to Yuan Honghou's residence.

In the warehouse of Sijin Pavilion, Ginkgo and two confidantes worked all night, taking out the cash in the box and replacing it with stones of equal weight, and all three of them were sweating from exhaustion after all the replacement.

"Tomorrow morning, go to the Escort and hire thirty men, plus ten of us, pull these carts of stones and go south, and come back after leaving Silk Prefecture." Panting, Ginkgo pointed to one of them and then turned to the other after giving orders. , "You find time to go to Xianqinju tomorrow. Be smart and don't be seen by others. When you arrive, tell Miss Qin Ji that my side is ready, and tell her to prepare for action."

Three days later, Xianqinju was full of guests for another night.Although there have been rumors recently that Yuan's firm has received a large number of mermaid gauze from Sijin Pavilion, they have to measure the girls first, and it will take some time until the clothes are finished. It is still the same as before. The brothels with Yurenxiao have the most customers, especially Xianqinju, where the oiran lives.

Today there is a performance by the Oiran Lady, there are not enough seats in the lobby of Xianqinju, many people would rather stand by the side to see the Oiran's demeanor.

On the flower platform, Qin Ji was wearing the same dress she wore in the oiran competition that day. The flower boat was far away that day, and many people didn't see it clearly. Later, Qin Ji didn't wear it again. This was the first time she had worn it after the oiran competition. wear.

On the stage, the skirts of the women's clothes are shining with scales, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.After the performance of a song, the audience applauded and applauded, but the beauty not only didn't show a little bit of happiness, but fell on the piano and cried bitterly.

"what happened?"

"Miss Qin Ji, who made you unhappy?"

"That's right, which blind person dares to make Miss Qin Ji sad?"

The concern from the audience followed the next sentence, and the sneer in Qin Ji's eyes was covered by her sleeves. She has experienced the ups and downs of her laughing career, and she can understand that if she dared to cry during the performance when she was angry, the guests would only Scolding her as a disappointment, and now that she is standing on the high ground again, the same behavior can be exchanged for completely different treatment.

All of this is exactly what that person said. That person looks about the same age as her, but sees things much more clearly than her. If she is half as smart as that person, she won't be in the same miserable situation as before. .

Fortunately, God is merciful. Although she doesn't have the intelligence of that person, she has got the help of that person. She only needs to do what the person taught her.

Qin Ji raised her head, and wiped away the tears at the end of her eyes with her sleeves. Her makeup was a little bit messy, but she wasn't ugly. On the contrary, it made her look pitiful.

It's not easy being an oiran. She practiced crying in front of the mirror countless times. Looking at the concerned and lewd expressions of everyone in the audience, Qin Ji knew that her crying scene was very effective. My mind quickly passed what the man taught her, and choked up: "Qin Ji read a poem today, in which it was written that 'a business woman does not know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river'. It came to my mind, although our David Dynasty has no foreign enemies to invade, but the army is in turmoil, there are many bandits and bandits, and the people are displaced and miserable, and Qin Ji plays music here, how is it different from the business woman scolded in the poem?"

"Qinglong Lane in the north of the city is full of poor refugees who only have one hut to keep out the rain, and there are many poor people outside the city who can't even live in a hut. Qin Ji, a prodigal woman, and you are here to have fun, he It's not wrong to be scolded every day, but if it causes you to be scolded, isn't it Qin Ji's fault?

All this was caused by Qin Ji, Qin Ji was so ashamed that she had no face to wear this dress again. Today, I would like to burn the clothes to show my ambition, and use my life savings to help the people. I only hope that everyone can suffer less in this troubled world. , It is also good to teach future generations of historians, officials and literati to know that even business women know what shame is, and they are willing to do their part for the livelihood of the family and the people! "

After finishing speaking, Qin Ji stood up, asked someone to bring a brazier, took off her dress in public, and threw it into the raging fire.

The author has something to say: the next chapter will fully reveal our sister Yun's little plan!
