Young man, please stay

Chapter 318 Do you have any objections?
"Nishang" is a monthly magazine that Qin Lang had previously proposed for Tingyuxuan, and its counterpart is "Zhuyan" published by Ningxiang Pavilion.

Qin Lang said at the beginning that the articles in "Zhu Yan", including those written by Chang Legong, were ultimately just a means to attract readers. Their ultimate goal was actually to establish a discourse system and gain the right to speak in the industry.

After all, the position of an industry standard setter is difficult to shake.

The Tianxiang List formulated by "Zhu Yan" is equivalent to the standard prototype of the three industries of restaurants, brothels and inns. In the future, "Zhu Yan" will definitely bring out some detailed rules one after another, such as which standards are considered as Class C restaurants, which standards are considered as Class B restaurants, and so on.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ningxiang Pavilion or Tianhe Sect's leading position in these three industries will last for at least a hundred years without any problem.

Of course, when Qin Lang was giving advice to Ningxiang Pavilion, he did not take Tingyuxuan into consideration, or rather, he simply regarded Tingyuxuan as a hostile competitor.

Who knew that later on, "a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple" and Ting Yuxuan became the property of the empress's baby.

This is equivalent to Qin Lang helping his old wife deal with the new wife when he married her, and it became a little awkward when the new wife came into the house.

The embarrassment of Tingyuxuan is that it is difficult to intervene again in the face of the industry standards gradually established by "Zhu Yan".

They are both brothel giants. Now Ningxiang Pavilion "owns" all the brothels in the world, and even includes hotels and inns. What about Tingyuxuan?

Qin Lang’s idea for the empress was “differentiation” and finding another way out.

Who says that brothels must have set standards?
Qin Lang suggested that "Nishang" could take a different approach and set standards for things like cosmetics, clothes, and fabrics.

[Which rouge is the best in the world, which clothing store is the best, after "Nichang" became popular, these are all decided by Tingyuxuan]

These were the original words Qin Lang said to the empress.

But Qin Lang did not expect that the trial issue of "Nishang" would appear in front of him so suddenly.

Apart from anything else, the level of sophistication of the illustrations and printing alone shocked Qin Lang. Whether it was the portrait of the "female model" that Qin Lang had mentioned, who was the woman from Tingyuxuan, or the meticulous depictions of various costumes, they were all lifelike.

Given the environment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the imperial palace could provide such pinnacle painting skills and printing quality, which invisibly added a unique "anti-counterfeiting" feature to "Rainbow Clothes".

"Have you seen this thing?"

"seen it already."

Zhuo Beibei nodded seriously, which was rare:
"very nice."

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows:

“Just very nice?”

"cut…"

Zhuo Beibei's serious expression suddenly broke, she pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest with disdain:

"Okay, I admit that the editing of "Nishang" is of high quality, at least this trial issue is like that, but I was the leader of Tianhe Sect after all, so I naturally have to stand on Lingyue's side... oh, it hurts--!"

"It's true that Lingyue is your disciple, but what about Yupan? Isn't she your junior sister?"

"How can a junior sister be as close as a disciple..."

Zhuo Beibei muttered, and she was not wrong. After all, relatively speaking, Su Yupan and she could not maintain long-term contact due to their identities, so Nan Lingyue would naturally be closer, almost like her own daughter.

After Qin Lang carefully read the first issue of "Nishang", he found that "Nishang" was really very targeted. It launched three lists of its own to target the Tianxiang List right from the start.

A piece of paper called "Qingyanshu" ranked the most popular rouge and powder shops in various parts of the Great Zhou, from the capital to Yangzhou and even to Yizhou and Qingzhou.

One of them is called "Ling Luo Jing", which is a list of ready-made clothing shops in various places, and the first one on it is the silk stockings invented by Qin Lang.

However, although it ranked first, the stockings did not have any pictures.

This is also normal.

First, although it can be seen from the level of other illustrations that "Rainbow Clothes" is not incapable of drawing stockings, such a new thing, which is used to be worn, may make people who don’t understand it feel strange at first glance if it is just drawn, and they will not be able to see the beauty in it or feel its comfort.

Second, not having pictures can increase the mystery of the stockings, thereby further consolidating the high-end positioning of the stockings.

Regarding the cloth that Qin Lang had proposed at the beginning, Tingyuxuan did not copy it rigidly. However, when reviewing each clothing store in detail, he would mention in passing that he had used cloth from a certain store.

After all, the fabric industry is already very mature, and the top ones are monopolized by a few large fabric merchants, so there is no need to rank them specifically.

From this point of view, Ting Yuxuan was very flexible when compiling "Nishang". He thought about it in combination with the actual situation and knew how to draw inferences from one example.

As for the last list...

Ok…

Qin Lang had reason to believe that the names on the last list must have been chosen by someone and mixed with his own personal opinions.

【Music Tasting List】

It covers all the shoe merchants in the world, and only sells women's shoes. When Qin Lang saw this list, he seemed to imagine the empress baby looking at him sideways, with a black silk jade foot touching the tip of his nose, and a playful smile on her face.

"..."

Haha, yin and yang are the same for men, right?

Okay, okay, just wait, sooner or later Lord Changle will bombard the Golden Palace and have a feast on the dragon throne.

“When will the trial issue be released?”

"According to the information from Ningxiang Pavilion, it will be sent tomorrow."

"Oh."

Qin Lang nodded. It meant that he had only received it one day in advance, so it was not considered to be any confidential inside information.

--------

In the evening, Zhuo Beibei, who had had his fill of shopping, was rarely noisy and fell asleep early.

"Qin Lang...telling a story..."

"I'll tell you tomorrow. Go to sleep."

"Well…"

Qin Lang felt sorry for the little girl, so he didn't need her tonight.

So I coaxed her to sleep first, and then started waiting.

Who are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting for a certain "little bottle" who is addicted but refuses to admit it and becomes restless during the day.

"Hehe...little bottle..."

Qin Lang thought of Bai Qingqing's way of addressing Su Yinping and felt that it was indeed somewhat cute. He considered whether he should call her that in bed from now on.

But considering this matter, Qin Lang kept waiting for Zhuo Beibei to fall asleep. Considering that Zhuo Beibei had finished one dream and started the second dream, he still hadn't waited for the "little bottle" to arrive.

Qin Lang found this strange.

Where’s the insomnia?

Why don’t you come over here and “hang out”?
As the saying goes, a living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine, and Qin Lang cannot be suffocated to death by Qin Xiaolang, so he quickly exerted his subjective initiative. Since Miss Su didn't come to find him, he would take the initiative to find her!
Qin Lang was able to move as soon as he was told. With his half-step master's lightness skills, it was easy for him to sneak into Su Yinping's east room.

dang dang…

"Silver bottle? Silver bottle?"

However, after arriving at the place, Qin Lang was even more surprised because the lights in the east room were turned off.

Qin Lang knocked on the door but no one responded. Could it be that Su Yinping fell asleep?
This shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t we agree to have insomnia tonight?
squeak-

Never mind, Qin Lang pushed the door open, and was surprised to find in the moonlight that Miss Su was actually asleep.

But he was not sleeping on the bed, but lying on the table. It didn't look like he was sleeping naturally, but rather like he had fainted suddenly or something.

Qin Lang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Silver bottle!"

"she's fine."

"?!"

Just as he was about to get closer, a voice suddenly sounded in the dark corner.

Qin Lang was shocked at first. After all, with his current strength, a living person could quietly hide in the dark without being discovered by him. Not to mention his martial arts level, at least he would need to be a top-level assassin to have such stealth ability.

But then, Qin Lang relaxed again.

Not only relaxing, but even a little happy.

Because the other person's voice was not unfamiliar to him.

At the same time, a graceful figure walked out from the darkness, her ponytail swaying slightly, her pretty face expressionless:

"I put some sleeping pills in her dinner. Do you have any objection? If you do, attack me and vent your wife's anger... humph..."
