Chapter 130
"Today's sweet and sour fish, do you remember what to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Yang Dan'er immediately bowed her head and said.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "You have a talent for cooking, but you lack some patience and toughness. Don't you know that burning fire is also a skill? How can you make the fire last longer, save firewood, and keep the pots and stoves needed? How high is the temperature of the fire? How high is the temperature of the oil, so that the ingredients are the most delicious? I also followed my grandmother to cook for five or six years before I started cooking."
Yang Dan'er looked at her in shock.
Jing Yannian also frowned, staring at her face suspiciously.
Her face was fair and beautiful, her eyelashes were curved, and when she smiled slightly, there seemed to be light shining in her eyes.
"The lady also lit a fire?" Yang Dan'er didn't believe it.
"Could it be that I was born to be able to cook?" Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
At this moment, Yang Dan'er really had a look of shame on his face.
"Shopkeeper Sun, settle his monthly payment for this month and send him home." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dan'er quickly kowtowed, "I beg my lady to give the villain another chance, the villain knows his mistake!"
He begged, with tears in his eyes.
Shopkeeper Sun glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo's face, and quickly said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll go with you to the cashier to pay the money, you pack up your luggage and go back to your hometown!"
"Lady, give the villain one more chance. The villain really knows his mistake. Even if he keeps telling the villain to light a fire, the villain is willing to do so. Please don't drive the villain away!" Yang Dan'er is a teenager after all. , and the experience was relatively simple, at this time I finally couldn't hold back and started to cry.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't let go until shopkeeper Sun dragged him away.
Jing Yannian watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.
Zhuxiang glanced at the two masters, then quickly closed the door and retreated.
When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Jing Yannian said slowly, "That's all?"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him with a smile, "It's just a child, should I really send him to the yamen?"
"At least give him a good beating, so that he will have a long memory." Jing Yannian said coldly, "The kindness of a woman."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take it seriously, and said softly, "I heard from the woman that Xiao Chongwu is very attached to his relatives. If the general can't send him back to me, I hope the general can always accompany him. When the general comes out today Is it not too short?"
Jing Yannian let out a deep breath, took a deep look at her, got up and left Juxian Tower.
After he left, Xiao Yuzhuo also left Juxian Tower.
But she didn't go back to the house, instead she went to the former Zuixiang Building to take a look around.
Zuixiang Building is not small, and the decoration is not bad. After a little renovation, it is a magnificent selling gold cave again.
"Where's the girl's door in the building?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Mr. Gui of Zuixiang Building.
Mr. Gui had already received the letter sent by Guan Sanye, and knew that this jade lady was now the head of the Zuixiang Building, so he quickly bowed and replied, "The girls are either in the private room upstairs, or in the private room." What about the backyard?"
"Call out and let me meet you," Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Zhuxiang and Liu Lanxue who followed were taken aback, "What are you doing seeing them, my lady? You don't have to insult your ladyship."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and said nothing.
When the girls in the building came out, they automatically stood in three rows, with a dozen or so girls in the first row, with a bit of arrogance on their faces.
"This is the young man in the building." Mr. Gui introduced, "Qingqi, calligraphy, painting, playing and singing are all good at work."
It's just selling art and not selling yourself.
In the second row, there are more than 20 women, all of whom are good-looking and well-figured, but their faces are full of coquettishness, without the aloofness of those who are pure and gentle.
"This is Hong Guan'er." Mr. Gui smiled.
Even performing arts also sells one's body, and the main thing is to sell one's body.
The third row consisted of plainly dressed little girls who were obviously not as well dressed as the girls in the first two rows.
"These are maids in the building. If they perform well in the future and are talented, they can come to the front to pick up guests, but they can't do it now." Mr. Gui introduced, "All the maids invited in the building are specialized in teaching various skills. Master, because the building has closed down recently, those masters are not in the building now."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Invite all the luthiers and dancers back, and tell them to practice hard. Even these little girls, let them learn."
Mr. Gui had a happy expression on his face, "Lady, is our Zuixiang Building reopening?"
Hearing the words Zuixianglou, Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.
These three words inevitably reminded her of the unhappiness with Shui Xiang at the beginning, and the scene of Shui Xiang being beaten to death in the posthouse.
She felt a chill in her heart, "Zixianglou is not a good name, go and customize a signboard."
Mr. Gui was slightly taken aback, "What's your name?"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Yinyu Ren Pingsheng, let's call it 'Yanyulou'."
Hearing that she took this name, all the young men in the first row couldn't help but look up at her.
Ren Pingsheng, a misty rain, wrote on the surface that he encountered heavy rain on the road, and the poet didn't take it seriously.But it also refers to the ups and downs and difficulties in life, and the unsatisfactory tribulations, poets are also bearish and don't care.
Qing Guan'er is talented and learned. After reading this poem, he also understands the artistic conception in the poem, so he can't help feeling sorry for him.
Mr. Gui didn't quite understand, "Yanyulou, doesn't the name sound festive enough?"
"What do you know? Life is too short for a cloud of smoke and rain, and this reminds people to enjoy themselves in time, don't waste your time, and cut those empty branches when the flowers are gone!" A young man immediately yelled at Mr. Gui.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't hold back a smile, "That's the reason, you can do it, first ask the third master, if the third master is willing to give the words, then use the third master's words as a signboard. If the third master is not willing, go pick a good-looking one. The handwriting will be done."
Mr. Gui quickly agreed.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to Qing Guaner who was talking, then turned and left Zuixianglou.
When she returned to the house, she was not idle, but began to write a plan.
The brothel was originally a place to make money, even if she reopened it as it was, she would still earn a lot of money.
But Sanye Guan is right, if she wants to do it, she has to do it differently from others.
She wanted to rescue the girls in the building out of the fire pit, and reopening the brothel was tantamount to pushing them into the fire pit.
She is a businessman, and she wants to make money first.
A heartless businessman only cares about his own interests.
A businessman with morals and sentiments thinks about a win-win situation.
Not only does she want to make money by herself, but she also wants to let these helpless women who have fallen into prostitution also obtain long-term benefits.
This does not violate her original intention of improving women's social status.
She still remembers the sensation and success of making stars in the mango TV talent show that year.
I remember her thesis in the year she graduated, which analyzed the pros and cons of talent shows.
But the instructor said that the thesis she wrote was not deep enough, so she rejected it and asked her to choose a new topic and rewrite it.
While Xiao Yuzhuo was writing the plan, she thought, now that she plans an audition in person, feels the whole process in person, and then writes that thesis again, she will definitely not be told by the teacher that it is not deep enough, right?
She couldn't help but smiled.
But I didn't realize that time passed unknowingly, and the night was getting deeper and deeper.
"It's three o'clock, why don't you go to sleep?"
The room was too quiet, only she occasionally made some slight noises when she picked up the pen and dipped the ink, and the sudden voice behind her startled her.
She threw all the Langhao pens in her hand away.
Xiao Yuzhuo turned his head to look, and saw Jing Yannian's handsome face as dark as ink.
"People are scary, they can scare people to death, does the general know?"
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes, "I've been standing there for a quarter of an hour, and you didn't see me, is it my fault?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the clepsydra beside him, "It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you doing here?"
Jing Yanqing snorted, "You know it's so late? It's almost dawn, have you been sitting all night?"
Without a computer, handwriting is still a brush, isn't it slow?Fortunately, the princess's lower case script was very good, otherwise why not embarrass her to death?
"The general came here in the middle of the night, what's the reason?" Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the pen, put it on the pen hill, got up and asked.
Jing Yannian raised his foot and approached her, "It's been a few days since you came back, why didn't you go back to Yue Palace?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "What does it have to do with you whether I go back to Yue Palace or not?"
Jing Yan smiled young, and the light from the candle rolled over the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, softening the hard lines on his face, "How come it has nothing to do with me? You are also my son's mother after all."
"Tch," Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly, "Admit me now?"
"When did I never admit you?" Jing Yannian asked back.
"A motherless child is like a grass. If the general recognizes me, he should return the child to me quickly." Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at him, "Don't make us mother and child suffer the pain of separation."
Jing Yannian nodded, "If I return my son to you, just tell him to watch her mother's non-stop writing on the case?"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly.
"You don't take a test of merit, what are you writing about?" Jing Yannian took a step forward.
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to raise his hand and turn over the paper, so that he wouldn't see his proposal.
But his movements were obviously faster, holding her in his arms with one hand, and pressing down on the paper on the table with the other to prevent her from turning it over.
He scanned it quickly, and his face became even more serious.
"Let me go!" Xiao Yuzhuo struggled in his arms.
Jing Yannian's face darkened, "Are you really planning to reopen the Zuixiang Building? Is your ambition to be a bustard?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was annoyed, and stepped on his toes fiercely.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, "Don't hurt your feet."
Xiao Yuzhuo muffled: "I just want to be a bustard, and it's none of your business! Let me go!"
"Lighting the lights and staying up all night, I thought it was something important. I never thought that I was working for a brothel, so sleepless. Do you want to please the prostitutes in the building, or future clients?" Jing Yannian When he spoke venomously, he really wanted someone to slap him a few times.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him bitterly, if she hadn't been unable to beat him, she would have beaten him so hard that his teeth were all over the floor.
"The general stayed up late at night and came to see what I was doing? Did he want to please me? Or did he want to please me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a soft snort, lifting his chin.
Her skin was smooth and clean, her small chin was lifted slightly, and the light of the candles flowed on her lustrous cheeks.
Jing Yannian imprisoned her in his arms, and the faint fragrance of her body continuously poured into his nostrils.
She raised her small face, such an angry and stubborn look, silently teasing him, and instantly aroused his man's pride, he couldn't help but want to press her under him, tame her well, see if she dares Don't dare to be so disobedient?
Jing Yannian is a vigorous and resolute person, he does what he thinks.
He suddenly bent over and picked Xiao Yuzhuo up, and strode to the bedside.
Xiao Yuzhuo's body softened and sank, and when he was pressed on the bed, he was immediately stunned.
"You, you, you... what do you want to do?" Her face was hot, and she could not speak clearly.
Jing Yannian snorted, "What do you think I want to do?"
"I...we haven't..." Xiao Yuzhuo was panting from his actions, "We haven't reconciled yet!"
Jing Yannian is too familiar with her body, where she is most sensitive, and how to make her comfortable, he is familiar with it.
Under the movement of his big hands, Xiao Yuzhuo immediately turned into a puddle of spring water, his body seemed to have softened, but his heart was still unwilling.
"You are despicable! Shameless! Villain!" she cursed.
It's just that the scolding was soft and weak, more like flirting between lovers.
"Let go of me!" Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand to push him.
His hands were just pressing on his muscular chest muscles. The feel...the elasticity...really makes people reluctant to let go...
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that his rationality was going to be confused by masculinity, "You don't stop what I want to do, support me in everything, I will ask you to stay."
Jing Yannian smiled sullenly, "You are the one blocking me now! Long time no see, don't you miss me?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and even more seductive.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that his ears were about to surrender.
The joy he gave once seemed to wake up from the body in an instant, and the longing spread to the whole body uncontrollably.
She turned her face away and whispered: "I don't miss you, do you miss me?"
Jing Yannian took off her clothes one by one, and pulled the quilt over the two of them.
"Yes," he whispered in her ear, "I miss you, I miss you very much..."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart warmed up, and the last trace of rejection in his eyes melted away...
"Well..." She put her arms around his neck.
He bowed his head and kissed her eyebrows and eyes delicately, "Yuyu, my Yuyu..."
"It's not yours!" Xiao Yuzhuo murmured.
Jing Yannian became angry when he heard it, and his actions could not help but become strong and rude, "Whose is that?!"
Xiao Yuzhuo hummed, "It's mine!"
Jing Yannian held her lips and slowed down his movements...
……
When Xiao Yuzhuo woke up, she was the only one left on the bed.
Everything that happened last night was like a dream.
Only the burnt candles on the table and the plan lying there messed up witnessed everything.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand and scratched his head, he couldn't help but feel depressed, "It's really dizzy, how could I be fooled by his masculinity because of my fame in my first life?"
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to get up, but found that his back was sore and his legs were weak.
Could it be that Jing Yannian had been abstinent for too long?It's like a hungry wolf... She is extremely sleepy, and he still doesn't let her go!
"Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum—" Xiao Yuzhuo shouted twice.
Zhuxiang pushed open the door first, "What do you want my lady to say? Huh?"
Zhuxiang was keen, as if she had noticed something was wrong.
Xiao Yuzhuo was embarrassed, his face was hot, "Call Juxiang over here."
Ju Xiang also hurried to the door, and was about to enter, but Zhu Xiang gave her a hand.
"What is your order?" Zhu Xiang asked standing outside the door.
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, "Come in and talk!"
……
Not long after, the smell of medicine wafted in the air in this small courtyard.
It smells slightly sour and bitter.
"Lady, do you really want to drink?" Ju Xiang held the medicine and knelt down in front of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded heavily, "I still don't have the ability to protect Chongwu well, what should I do if there is another child?"
"But everything has a general..." Ju Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Many times I have disagreements with him. First, I don't want to be incapable of self-protection and only become a drag on him. Second, I don't want to lose the foundation of my life when he turns ruthless. No."
"How can the general turn his face and be ruthless..." Ju Xiang muttered.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched Ju Xiang's head, "People's hearts are the most fickle, only when you can live with him or without him, the two people's positions are equal."
Ju Xiang nodded heavily, drooping the thick black soup, "It's not hot anymore, lady, let's drink it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled lightly, "Won't it hurt your body?"
"Well, I can't drink it often, but it's okay once in a while." Ju Xiang nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo gulped down the medicinal juice in one gulp.
She lay down until the afternoon before getting up to continue writing at the desk.
After staying up for two nights, she finally came up with a proposal that looked decent.
The next morning, she woke up refreshed, and went to find Third Master Guan, and talk to him about how she planned to reopen "Yanyu Building", how to make Yanyu Building into Wancheng, and even when it was the biggest brothel in Daxia. .
Jing Yannian is here again.
When she saw Jing Yannian getting off the carriage, she immediately lowered her face, "It's so early in the morning, don't make yourself uncomfortable!"
Jing Yannian smiled slightly, "I thought you missed your son, so I brought him to see you."
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled when he heard this.
The little woman got off the carriage holding Chong Wu in her arms.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw Xiao Chongwu, the sun shone brightly on his face.
She took two steps forward and hurriedly took Xiao Chongwu from the woman's hand.
Xiao Chongwu had already woken up, and when he saw her, he opened his mouth and smiled at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart was instantly filled with this soft and tender smile.
"Look at your outfit, are you planning to go out?" Jing Yannian asked with downcast eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo hugged Chong Wu, smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm going to find Third Master Guan."
"Coincidentally, I'm going too, why not go with me?" Jing Yan gave her a young glance.
His meaningful look made Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skip a beat, and his face became hot again unconsciously.
But looking at the little child in her arms, she was really reluctant to let go.
In order to stay with Xiao Chongwu for a while longer, Xiao Yuzhuo got into Jing Yannian's carriage.
Jing Yannian asked the little woman to go with Zhuxiang, and Juxiang sat in the carriage behind.
A family of three, in the same car.
There is a sweet aroma of snacks in the carriage, as well as a milky aroma unique to children.
The waxy and soft fragrance makes people's hearts crisp.
"Chongwu, little Chongwu, Aniang's little Chongwu!" Xiao Yuzhuo teased the child.
Chong Wu was amused by her and giggled out loud.
Jing Yannian looked at the mother and the child, and a rare tenderness appeared on his handsome and cold face.
If this road has no end, how good would it be if the carriage could go on like this?
But no matter how big Wancheng is, no matter how far the journey is, there is always a time to stop.
Xiao Yuzhuo got down from the car with Chongwu in her arms, raised her eyes to look at the sub-rudder of the Evergreen Gang in Wancheng, the indifferent, flexible and strong gaze on her face made even men feel ashamed.
Jing Yannian squinted at her and sighed softly, "Miss Jade, please!"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him inexplicably, and always felt that it must be more than just a "coincidence" that he brought his son to see her today and brought her to the Evergreen Gang!
With a smile on his face, he must have something bad in his heart!
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, and reluctantly handed over his son to the little woman, "Ju Xiang is with you, it will be inconvenient for her to take care of the child alone."
Before the little woman had time to refuse, Ju Xiang quickly agreed and helped the little woman into the car again.
Xiao Yuzhuo took Zhuxiang with him, and joined the branch of the Evergreen Gang with Jing Yannian one after the other.
Guan Sanye is playing chess with his hands.
Seeing them coming, he asked someone to put away the chessboard.
Xiao Yuzhuo handed over the plan she had written after two nights to Mr. Guan.
"Reopen Zuixianglou and change its name to Yanyulou. If we want to make it the largest brothel in Wancheng, or even Daxia, we must first create momentum and let more people know about this place." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile.
"I know the name of Yanyulou, I wrote the words." Guan Sanye smiled, "Yinyu Ren Pingsheng, such a calm mood."
Guan Sanye nodded and smiled, took over the plan, but handed it to Jing Yannian instead.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he saw this, what does it mean to hand it to Jing Yannian?
"Yesterday, Xiuyuan came to talk to me about this matter, and I have given full authority over this matter to Xiuyuan. Miss Yu is in charge of the Yanyu Building. When she needs anything from the Evergreen Gang, she can ask Xiuyuan." Third Master Guan laughed.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Jing Yannian's smug expression from the side, as if someone had poured cold water on his head.
Make him responsible?Is it strange that he can cooperate with all his heart?
He's being kind if he doesn't tear down the stage!
But Mr. Guan is now the owner of this brothel, so naturally it is what the owner says.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
Jing Yannian looked down at the plan for a moment, then suddenly threw the plan on the table, "What is this? The messy 'audition' and 'promotion' you think this is a scientific examination? Or do you want all the people to be prostitutes? "
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him indifferently.
Third Master Guan frowned slightly.
He seemed to want to take a look at the plan.
But Jing Yannian raised his hand and pressed it on the plan, looked sideways at Sanye Guan and said with a smile: "Did the third master give me the full power of this matter? Then can I veto Miss Yu's proposal?" ?”
People who walk in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is reputation, the best face.
Guan Sanye just said to leave the matter to Jing Yannian.
Right now he is repenting, and Jing Yannian's authority as the deputy head of the gang will be questioned.Second, Guan Sanye would also be laughed at and turned back and forth.
Guan Sanye nodded heavily, and withdrew his hand, "I listen to Xiuyuan."
Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and smiled slightly.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately understood the meaning of his smile, and wanted her to quit?Abandon Misty Rain Building?Even to blow her confidence and make her submit to his despotic power early?
dream!
Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand to lift Jing Yannian's hand, took back his plan, stepped back a few steps, and said, "Third Master, you and I are both businessmen, and I am not from your Evergreen Gang now." Man, if you ask me to help you run a brothel, then we are in a cooperative relationship. This brothel makes a lot of money, so if I help you, I will naturally have a share of the profit."
Guan Sanye smiled and nodded, "I, Guan San, am not a stingy person. Don't worry, my lady, I will not treat my lady badly."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Of course I can trust the reputation of the third master, but as the old saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly, if I manage the Yanyu Building, I will charge [-]% of the profit, what does the third master think?"
Guan San was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately said, "If I take the [-]% profit, I can be regarded as a lesser half of the owner, and I can be more in charge of the affairs of the Yanyu Building. Otherwise, others will not take my words seriously and ignore my authority , can this matter not go on?"
Xiao Yuzhuo spoke politely, with a smile on his face.
But there is a run on inside and outside, aimed at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly.
Guan San's eyes lingered on the faces of the two people for a moment, and he clapped his hands and smiled, "Very good, the lady has taken [-]% of the profit, so she can do her best, and I feel more at ease!"
Guan Sanye immediately asked someone to prepare a pen and ink, and took a pen to write down the contract.
Jing Yannian was on the sidelines, almost lingering Xiao Yuzhuo with his eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled smugly, and bumped him with his elbow before going out, "How is it? Am I the kind of person who will shrink back when you scare me once?"
Jing Yannian let out a chuckle, "It's best to make money with your work, otherwise, you won't be able to do business with me!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly.
"If you can't make any money at that time, you will have to pay back the [-]% profit..."
"Even I have to pay in your hands!" Xiao Yuzhuo interrupted him.
Jing Yannian pursed his lips and smiled, "It's good that you know."
Xiao Yuzhuo raised her eyes, her smile was bright, the sun was shining in her eyes, and her eyes shone brightly, "General, you are daydreaming!"
After hugging Xiao Chongwu again, Xiao Yuzhuo boarded his carriage and went directly to Yanyu Building.
The signboard of the Yanyu building hadn't been finished yet, but she was not in a hurry, she called all the girls in her building and told them the rules of the draft.
The girls half-understood, but the girl who received her words and reprimanded Mr. Gui was thorough and soon understood.
"Such an event can not only attract people's attention, make people know about Yanyulou, but also improve the reputation of the girls participating in the event. If that girl reaches the end of the selection, she can still become an oiran and her worth will double, then If you have a chance to show your face, you may be caught by someone, and you will get out of the fire pit in one fell swoop... Uh, it's not a fire pit now!" She smiled embarrassedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded again and again, "That's what I mean. Naturally, the more people participating in this activity, the better."
"The sisters all told their acquaintances, and let the girls in other buildings know about it." The girl said.
The young men in the building, the red men, knew that it would allow them to compete for the oiran and have a chance to leave the brothel, so they all became eager.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "What's your name?"
The girl pursed her lips, "My concubine's nickname is Fuqu."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "How is the writing?"
The girl immediately dipped the pen into the ink and wrote on the rice paper beside her.
The word Fuqu is full of charm in her hands, and when she sketches it, it looks like a chivalrous man, but also full of vigor and character.
"I said you wrote it. Only by word of mouth, the number of people who know it is still limited. We made a leaflet. Once it is released, Yanyulou will be known to more people in no time." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Fu Que was appreciated by her master, she was very happy, she quickly sat down and picked up a pen to write down what Xiao Yuzhuo said.
After the obliteration and correction, she copied it neatly again.
She can't help but have beautiful cursive script, and her lower case script is also very delicate.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked Mr. Gui to take it and print it.
Mr. Turtle wondered: "It will cost a lot of money to make this engraving."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "Carving plate?"
Printing is still at the stage of engraving now?Movable type printing has never been available?
If I had known that she would have invented movable type printing and opened a bookstore, she would have made a fortune.
Now she is planning for the Misty Rain Building. She has limited energy alone, so she found a woodblock printing workshop by herself.
Hand over the leaflets copied by Fu Que to the shopkeeper.
"I want to print [-] pages and take them away in batches." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The shopkeeper looked at the single page, "Return to the lady's words, engrave this page, fifty copies, and print [-] pages, two hundred copies."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Can you let me take a look at your workshop?"
The shopkeeper thought she was worried, so he nodded in agreement and took her to the workshop to have a look.
There are four or five woodblock craftsmen.
There are also seven or eight little guys who printed with ink.
"How long does it take to carve a plate?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
A craftsman raised his head and looked at her leaflet, "My lady, this page has many characters and slender handwriting. It will take a month to finish the first page."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "I want it in three days."
"That's impossible!" The craftsman shook his head.
The shopkeeper also looked sideways at her, "If my lady wants to print it, we will definitely speed up, but three days, it is absolutely impossible."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't speak, but looked around and found a square box.
"Is there clay for pottery?" she asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked around and saw a few broken and discarded engraving blocks on the ground, so he picked them up and handed them to Zhu Xiang, "Split them open and form characters one by one."
Zhuxiang was taken aback, seeing the lady nodding at her.
She took the engraving block, and with a knife beside her, cleverly split the words on the engraving block.
But there was no preparation in advance, and the engraving blocks under the word were split in different sizes and not very neatly.
Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the characters one by one, reassembled them, and placed them in the square box.
The shopkeeper stared at her, not understanding what she wanted to do at first.
When she saw the words she picked up and put them back into a square box to form another sentence, which had nothing to do with the original engraving.
He suddenly understood!
"My lady—you are so smart! This...this is amazing! It's amazing!" The shopkeeper acted as if he saw some amazing masterpiece.
However, what was placed in front of him was nothing more than a crooked box of words that had been split from abandoned engraving blocks.
"The lady is really a god, how did the lady come up with such a wonderful recipe?" The shopkeeper was excited.
After the craftsmen saw it, they became excited.
"It's so good! The content of such a edition can be assigned to several people to do at the same time, and the characters used this time can still be used next time! The more editions are engraved, the faster it will be printed in the future! Even if it is If the engraving is wrong, there is no need to discard the entire page! My God! This is a great idea!" The craftsmen seemed to see the dawn of saving their hands and labor, and they were more excited than the shopkeeper.
(End of this chapter)
"Today's sweet and sour fish, do you remember what to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Yang Dan'er immediately bowed her head and said.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "You have a talent for cooking, but you lack some patience and toughness. Don't you know that burning fire is also a skill? How can you make the fire last longer, save firewood, and keep the pots and stoves needed? How high is the temperature of the fire? How high is the temperature of the oil, so that the ingredients are the most delicious? I also followed my grandmother to cook for five or six years before I started cooking."
Yang Dan'er looked at her in shock.
Jing Yannian also frowned, staring at her face suspiciously.
Her face was fair and beautiful, her eyelashes were curved, and when she smiled slightly, there seemed to be light shining in her eyes.
"The lady also lit a fire?" Yang Dan'er didn't believe it.
"Could it be that I was born to be able to cook?" Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
At this moment, Yang Dan'er really had a look of shame on his face.
"Shopkeeper Sun, settle his monthly payment for this month and send him home." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dan'er quickly kowtowed, "I beg my lady to give the villain another chance, the villain knows his mistake!"
He begged, with tears in his eyes.
Shopkeeper Sun glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo's face, and quickly said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll go with you to the cashier to pay the money, you pack up your luggage and go back to your hometown!"
"Lady, give the villain one more chance. The villain really knows his mistake. Even if he keeps telling the villain to light a fire, the villain is willing to do so. Please don't drive the villain away!" Yang Dan'er is a teenager after all. , and the experience was relatively simple, at this time I finally couldn't hold back and started to cry.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't let go until shopkeeper Sun dragged him away.
Jing Yannian watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.
Zhuxiang glanced at the two masters, then quickly closed the door and retreated.
When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Jing Yannian said slowly, "That's all?"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him with a smile, "It's just a child, should I really send him to the yamen?"
"At least give him a good beating, so that he will have a long memory." Jing Yannian said coldly, "The kindness of a woman."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take it seriously, and said softly, "I heard from the woman that Xiao Chongwu is very attached to his relatives. If the general can't send him back to me, I hope the general can always accompany him. When the general comes out today Is it not too short?"
Jing Yannian let out a deep breath, took a deep look at her, got up and left Juxian Tower.
After he left, Xiao Yuzhuo also left Juxian Tower.
But she didn't go back to the house, instead she went to the former Zuixiang Building to take a look around.
Zuixiang Building is not small, and the decoration is not bad. After a little renovation, it is a magnificent selling gold cave again.
"Where's the girl's door in the building?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Mr. Gui of Zuixiang Building.
Mr. Gui had already received the letter sent by Guan Sanye, and knew that this jade lady was now the head of the Zuixiang Building, so he quickly bowed and replied, "The girls are either in the private room upstairs, or in the private room." What about the backyard?"
"Call out and let me meet you," Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Zhuxiang and Liu Lanxue who followed were taken aback, "What are you doing seeing them, my lady? You don't have to insult your ladyship."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and said nothing.
When the girls in the building came out, they automatically stood in three rows, with a dozen or so girls in the first row, with a bit of arrogance on their faces.
"This is the young man in the building." Mr. Gui introduced, "Qingqi, calligraphy, painting, playing and singing are all good at work."
It's just selling art and not selling yourself.
In the second row, there are more than 20 women, all of whom are good-looking and well-figured, but their faces are full of coquettishness, without the aloofness of those who are pure and gentle.
"This is Hong Guan'er." Mr. Gui smiled.
Even performing arts also sells one's body, and the main thing is to sell one's body.
The third row consisted of plainly dressed little girls who were obviously not as well dressed as the girls in the first two rows.
"These are maids in the building. If they perform well in the future and are talented, they can come to the front to pick up guests, but they can't do it now." Mr. Gui introduced, "All the maids invited in the building are specialized in teaching various skills. Master, because the building has closed down recently, those masters are not in the building now."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Invite all the luthiers and dancers back, and tell them to practice hard. Even these little girls, let them learn."
Mr. Gui had a happy expression on his face, "Lady, is our Zuixiang Building reopening?"
Hearing the words Zuixianglou, Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.
These three words inevitably reminded her of the unhappiness with Shui Xiang at the beginning, and the scene of Shui Xiang being beaten to death in the posthouse.
She felt a chill in her heart, "Zixianglou is not a good name, go and customize a signboard."
Mr. Gui was slightly taken aback, "What's your name?"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Yinyu Ren Pingsheng, let's call it 'Yanyulou'."
Hearing that she took this name, all the young men in the first row couldn't help but look up at her.
Ren Pingsheng, a misty rain, wrote on the surface that he encountered heavy rain on the road, and the poet didn't take it seriously.But it also refers to the ups and downs and difficulties in life, and the unsatisfactory tribulations, poets are also bearish and don't care.
Qing Guan'er is talented and learned. After reading this poem, he also understands the artistic conception in the poem, so he can't help feeling sorry for him.
Mr. Gui didn't quite understand, "Yanyulou, doesn't the name sound festive enough?"
"What do you know? Life is too short for a cloud of smoke and rain, and this reminds people to enjoy themselves in time, don't waste your time, and cut those empty branches when the flowers are gone!" A young man immediately yelled at Mr. Gui.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't hold back a smile, "That's the reason, you can do it, first ask the third master, if the third master is willing to give the words, then use the third master's words as a signboard. If the third master is not willing, go pick a good-looking one. The handwriting will be done."
Mr. Gui quickly agreed.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to Qing Guaner who was talking, then turned and left Zuixianglou.
When she returned to the house, she was not idle, but began to write a plan.
The brothel was originally a place to make money, even if she reopened it as it was, she would still earn a lot of money.
But Sanye Guan is right, if she wants to do it, she has to do it differently from others.
She wanted to rescue the girls in the building out of the fire pit, and reopening the brothel was tantamount to pushing them into the fire pit.
She is a businessman, and she wants to make money first.
A heartless businessman only cares about his own interests.
A businessman with morals and sentiments thinks about a win-win situation.
Not only does she want to make money by herself, but she also wants to let these helpless women who have fallen into prostitution also obtain long-term benefits.
This does not violate her original intention of improving women's social status.
She still remembers the sensation and success of making stars in the mango TV talent show that year.
I remember her thesis in the year she graduated, which analyzed the pros and cons of talent shows.
But the instructor said that the thesis she wrote was not deep enough, so she rejected it and asked her to choose a new topic and rewrite it.
While Xiao Yuzhuo was writing the plan, she thought, now that she plans an audition in person, feels the whole process in person, and then writes that thesis again, she will definitely not be told by the teacher that it is not deep enough, right?
She couldn't help but smiled.
But I didn't realize that time passed unknowingly, and the night was getting deeper and deeper.
"It's three o'clock, why don't you go to sleep?"
The room was too quiet, only she occasionally made some slight noises when she picked up the pen and dipped the ink, and the sudden voice behind her startled her.
She threw all the Langhao pens in her hand away.
Xiao Yuzhuo turned his head to look, and saw Jing Yannian's handsome face as dark as ink.
"People are scary, they can scare people to death, does the general know?"
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes, "I've been standing there for a quarter of an hour, and you didn't see me, is it my fault?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the clepsydra beside him, "It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you doing here?"
Jing Yanqing snorted, "You know it's so late? It's almost dawn, have you been sitting all night?"
Without a computer, handwriting is still a brush, isn't it slow?Fortunately, the princess's lower case script was very good, otherwise why not embarrass her to death?
"The general came here in the middle of the night, what's the reason?" Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the pen, put it on the pen hill, got up and asked.
Jing Yannian raised his foot and approached her, "It's been a few days since you came back, why didn't you go back to Yue Palace?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "What does it have to do with you whether I go back to Yue Palace or not?"
Jing Yan smiled young, and the light from the candle rolled over the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, softening the hard lines on his face, "How come it has nothing to do with me? You are also my son's mother after all."
"Tch," Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly, "Admit me now?"
"When did I never admit you?" Jing Yannian asked back.
"A motherless child is like a grass. If the general recognizes me, he should return the child to me quickly." Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at him, "Don't make us mother and child suffer the pain of separation."
Jing Yannian nodded, "If I return my son to you, just tell him to watch her mother's non-stop writing on the case?"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly.
"You don't take a test of merit, what are you writing about?" Jing Yannian took a step forward.
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to raise his hand and turn over the paper, so that he wouldn't see his proposal.
But his movements were obviously faster, holding her in his arms with one hand, and pressing down on the paper on the table with the other to prevent her from turning it over.
He scanned it quickly, and his face became even more serious.
"Let me go!" Xiao Yuzhuo struggled in his arms.
Jing Yannian's face darkened, "Are you really planning to reopen the Zuixiang Building? Is your ambition to be a bustard?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was annoyed, and stepped on his toes fiercely.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, "Don't hurt your feet."
Xiao Yuzhuo muffled: "I just want to be a bustard, and it's none of your business! Let me go!"
"Lighting the lights and staying up all night, I thought it was something important. I never thought that I was working for a brothel, so sleepless. Do you want to please the prostitutes in the building, or future clients?" Jing Yannian When he spoke venomously, he really wanted someone to slap him a few times.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him bitterly, if she hadn't been unable to beat him, she would have beaten him so hard that his teeth were all over the floor.
"The general stayed up late at night and came to see what I was doing? Did he want to please me? Or did he want to please me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a soft snort, lifting his chin.
Her skin was smooth and clean, her small chin was lifted slightly, and the light of the candles flowed on her lustrous cheeks.
Jing Yannian imprisoned her in his arms, and the faint fragrance of her body continuously poured into his nostrils.
She raised her small face, such an angry and stubborn look, silently teasing him, and instantly aroused his man's pride, he couldn't help but want to press her under him, tame her well, see if she dares Don't dare to be so disobedient?
Jing Yannian is a vigorous and resolute person, he does what he thinks.
He suddenly bent over and picked Xiao Yuzhuo up, and strode to the bedside.
Xiao Yuzhuo's body softened and sank, and when he was pressed on the bed, he was immediately stunned.
"You, you, you... what do you want to do?" Her face was hot, and she could not speak clearly.
Jing Yannian snorted, "What do you think I want to do?"
"I...we haven't..." Xiao Yuzhuo was panting from his actions, "We haven't reconciled yet!"
Jing Yannian is too familiar with her body, where she is most sensitive, and how to make her comfortable, he is familiar with it.
Under the movement of his big hands, Xiao Yuzhuo immediately turned into a puddle of spring water, his body seemed to have softened, but his heart was still unwilling.
"You are despicable! Shameless! Villain!" she cursed.
It's just that the scolding was soft and weak, more like flirting between lovers.
"Let go of me!" Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand to push him.
His hands were just pressing on his muscular chest muscles. The feel...the elasticity...really makes people reluctant to let go...
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that his rationality was going to be confused by masculinity, "You don't stop what I want to do, support me in everything, I will ask you to stay."
Jing Yannian smiled sullenly, "You are the one blocking me now! Long time no see, don't you miss me?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and even more seductive.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that his ears were about to surrender.
The joy he gave once seemed to wake up from the body in an instant, and the longing spread to the whole body uncontrollably.
She turned her face away and whispered: "I don't miss you, do you miss me?"
Jing Yannian took off her clothes one by one, and pulled the quilt over the two of them.
"Yes," he whispered in her ear, "I miss you, I miss you very much..."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart warmed up, and the last trace of rejection in his eyes melted away...
"Well..." She put her arms around his neck.
He bowed his head and kissed her eyebrows and eyes delicately, "Yuyu, my Yuyu..."
"It's not yours!" Xiao Yuzhuo murmured.
Jing Yannian became angry when he heard it, and his actions could not help but become strong and rude, "Whose is that?!"
Xiao Yuzhuo hummed, "It's mine!"
Jing Yannian held her lips and slowed down his movements...
……
When Xiao Yuzhuo woke up, she was the only one left on the bed.
Everything that happened last night was like a dream.
Only the burnt candles on the table and the plan lying there messed up witnessed everything.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand and scratched his head, he couldn't help but feel depressed, "It's really dizzy, how could I be fooled by his masculinity because of my fame in my first life?"
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to get up, but found that his back was sore and his legs were weak.
Could it be that Jing Yannian had been abstinent for too long?It's like a hungry wolf... She is extremely sleepy, and he still doesn't let her go!
"Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum—" Xiao Yuzhuo shouted twice.
Zhuxiang pushed open the door first, "What do you want my lady to say? Huh?"
Zhuxiang was keen, as if she had noticed something was wrong.
Xiao Yuzhuo was embarrassed, his face was hot, "Call Juxiang over here."
Ju Xiang also hurried to the door, and was about to enter, but Zhu Xiang gave her a hand.
"What is your order?" Zhu Xiang asked standing outside the door.
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, "Come in and talk!"
……
Not long after, the smell of medicine wafted in the air in this small courtyard.
It smells slightly sour and bitter.
"Lady, do you really want to drink?" Ju Xiang held the medicine and knelt down in front of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded heavily, "I still don't have the ability to protect Chongwu well, what should I do if there is another child?"
"But everything has a general..." Ju Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Many times I have disagreements with him. First, I don't want to be incapable of self-protection and only become a drag on him. Second, I don't want to lose the foundation of my life when he turns ruthless. No."
"How can the general turn his face and be ruthless..." Ju Xiang muttered.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched Ju Xiang's head, "People's hearts are the most fickle, only when you can live with him or without him, the two people's positions are equal."
Ju Xiang nodded heavily, drooping the thick black soup, "It's not hot anymore, lady, let's drink it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled lightly, "Won't it hurt your body?"
"Well, I can't drink it often, but it's okay once in a while." Ju Xiang nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo gulped down the medicinal juice in one gulp.
She lay down until the afternoon before getting up to continue writing at the desk.
After staying up for two nights, she finally came up with a proposal that looked decent.
The next morning, she woke up refreshed, and went to find Third Master Guan, and talk to him about how she planned to reopen "Yanyu Building", how to make Yanyu Building into Wancheng, and even when it was the biggest brothel in Daxia. .
Jing Yannian is here again.
When she saw Jing Yannian getting off the carriage, she immediately lowered her face, "It's so early in the morning, don't make yourself uncomfortable!"
Jing Yannian smiled slightly, "I thought you missed your son, so I brought him to see you."
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled when he heard this.
The little woman got off the carriage holding Chong Wu in her arms.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw Xiao Chongwu, the sun shone brightly on his face.
She took two steps forward and hurriedly took Xiao Chongwu from the woman's hand.
Xiao Chongwu had already woken up, and when he saw her, he opened his mouth and smiled at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart was instantly filled with this soft and tender smile.
"Look at your outfit, are you planning to go out?" Jing Yannian asked with downcast eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo hugged Chong Wu, smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm going to find Third Master Guan."
"Coincidentally, I'm going too, why not go with me?" Jing Yan gave her a young glance.
His meaningful look made Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skip a beat, and his face became hot again unconsciously.
But looking at the little child in her arms, she was really reluctant to let go.
In order to stay with Xiao Chongwu for a while longer, Xiao Yuzhuo got into Jing Yannian's carriage.
Jing Yannian asked the little woman to go with Zhuxiang, and Juxiang sat in the carriage behind.
A family of three, in the same car.
There is a sweet aroma of snacks in the carriage, as well as a milky aroma unique to children.
The waxy and soft fragrance makes people's hearts crisp.
"Chongwu, little Chongwu, Aniang's little Chongwu!" Xiao Yuzhuo teased the child.
Chong Wu was amused by her and giggled out loud.
Jing Yannian looked at the mother and the child, and a rare tenderness appeared on his handsome and cold face.
If this road has no end, how good would it be if the carriage could go on like this?
But no matter how big Wancheng is, no matter how far the journey is, there is always a time to stop.
Xiao Yuzhuo got down from the car with Chongwu in her arms, raised her eyes to look at the sub-rudder of the Evergreen Gang in Wancheng, the indifferent, flexible and strong gaze on her face made even men feel ashamed.
Jing Yannian squinted at her and sighed softly, "Miss Jade, please!"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him inexplicably, and always felt that it must be more than just a "coincidence" that he brought his son to see her today and brought her to the Evergreen Gang!
With a smile on his face, he must have something bad in his heart!
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, and reluctantly handed over his son to the little woman, "Ju Xiang is with you, it will be inconvenient for her to take care of the child alone."
Before the little woman had time to refuse, Ju Xiang quickly agreed and helped the little woman into the car again.
Xiao Yuzhuo took Zhuxiang with him, and joined the branch of the Evergreen Gang with Jing Yannian one after the other.
Guan Sanye is playing chess with his hands.
Seeing them coming, he asked someone to put away the chessboard.
Xiao Yuzhuo handed over the plan she had written after two nights to Mr. Guan.
"Reopen Zuixianglou and change its name to Yanyulou. If we want to make it the largest brothel in Wancheng, or even Daxia, we must first create momentum and let more people know about this place." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile.
"I know the name of Yanyulou, I wrote the words." Guan Sanye smiled, "Yinyu Ren Pingsheng, such a calm mood."
Guan Sanye nodded and smiled, took over the plan, but handed it to Jing Yannian instead.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he saw this, what does it mean to hand it to Jing Yannian?
"Yesterday, Xiuyuan came to talk to me about this matter, and I have given full authority over this matter to Xiuyuan. Miss Yu is in charge of the Yanyu Building. When she needs anything from the Evergreen Gang, she can ask Xiuyuan." Third Master Guan laughed.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Jing Yannian's smug expression from the side, as if someone had poured cold water on his head.
Make him responsible?Is it strange that he can cooperate with all his heart?
He's being kind if he doesn't tear down the stage!
But Mr. Guan is now the owner of this brothel, so naturally it is what the owner says.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
Jing Yannian looked down at the plan for a moment, then suddenly threw the plan on the table, "What is this? The messy 'audition' and 'promotion' you think this is a scientific examination? Or do you want all the people to be prostitutes? "
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him indifferently.
Third Master Guan frowned slightly.
He seemed to want to take a look at the plan.
But Jing Yannian raised his hand and pressed it on the plan, looked sideways at Sanye Guan and said with a smile: "Did the third master give me the full power of this matter? Then can I veto Miss Yu's proposal?" ?”
People who walk in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is reputation, the best face.
Guan Sanye just said to leave the matter to Jing Yannian.
Right now he is repenting, and Jing Yannian's authority as the deputy head of the gang will be questioned.Second, Guan Sanye would also be laughed at and turned back and forth.
Guan Sanye nodded heavily, and withdrew his hand, "I listen to Xiuyuan."
Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and smiled slightly.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately understood the meaning of his smile, and wanted her to quit?Abandon Misty Rain Building?Even to blow her confidence and make her submit to his despotic power early?
dream!
Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand to lift Jing Yannian's hand, took back his plan, stepped back a few steps, and said, "Third Master, you and I are both businessmen, and I am not from your Evergreen Gang now." Man, if you ask me to help you run a brothel, then we are in a cooperative relationship. This brothel makes a lot of money, so if I help you, I will naturally have a share of the profit."
Guan Sanye smiled and nodded, "I, Guan San, am not a stingy person. Don't worry, my lady, I will not treat my lady badly."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Of course I can trust the reputation of the third master, but as the old saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly, if I manage the Yanyu Building, I will charge [-]% of the profit, what does the third master think?"
Guan San was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately said, "If I take the [-]% profit, I can be regarded as a lesser half of the owner, and I can be more in charge of the affairs of the Yanyu Building. Otherwise, others will not take my words seriously and ignore my authority , can this matter not go on?"
Xiao Yuzhuo spoke politely, with a smile on his face.
But there is a run on inside and outside, aimed at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly.
Guan San's eyes lingered on the faces of the two people for a moment, and he clapped his hands and smiled, "Very good, the lady has taken [-]% of the profit, so she can do her best, and I feel more at ease!"
Guan Sanye immediately asked someone to prepare a pen and ink, and took a pen to write down the contract.
Jing Yannian was on the sidelines, almost lingering Xiao Yuzhuo with his eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled smugly, and bumped him with his elbow before going out, "How is it? Am I the kind of person who will shrink back when you scare me once?"
Jing Yannian let out a chuckle, "It's best to make money with your work, otherwise, you won't be able to do business with me!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted lightly.
"If you can't make any money at that time, you will have to pay back the [-]% profit..."
"Even I have to pay in your hands!" Xiao Yuzhuo interrupted him.
Jing Yannian pursed his lips and smiled, "It's good that you know."
Xiao Yuzhuo raised her eyes, her smile was bright, the sun was shining in her eyes, and her eyes shone brightly, "General, you are daydreaming!"
After hugging Xiao Chongwu again, Xiao Yuzhuo boarded his carriage and went directly to Yanyu Building.
The signboard of the Yanyu building hadn't been finished yet, but she was not in a hurry, she called all the girls in her building and told them the rules of the draft.
The girls half-understood, but the girl who received her words and reprimanded Mr. Gui was thorough and soon understood.
"Such an event can not only attract people's attention, make people know about Yanyulou, but also improve the reputation of the girls participating in the event. If that girl reaches the end of the selection, she can still become an oiran and her worth will double, then If you have a chance to show your face, you may be caught by someone, and you will get out of the fire pit in one fell swoop... Uh, it's not a fire pit now!" She smiled embarrassedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded again and again, "That's what I mean. Naturally, the more people participating in this activity, the better."
"The sisters all told their acquaintances, and let the girls in other buildings know about it." The girl said.
The young men in the building, the red men, knew that it would allow them to compete for the oiran and have a chance to leave the brothel, so they all became eager.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "What's your name?"
The girl pursed her lips, "My concubine's nickname is Fuqu."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "How is the writing?"
The girl immediately dipped the pen into the ink and wrote on the rice paper beside her.
The word Fuqu is full of charm in her hands, and when she sketches it, it looks like a chivalrous man, but also full of vigor and character.
"I said you wrote it. Only by word of mouth, the number of people who know it is still limited. We made a leaflet. Once it is released, Yanyulou will be known to more people in no time." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Fu Que was appreciated by her master, she was very happy, she quickly sat down and picked up a pen to write down what Xiao Yuzhuo said.
After the obliteration and correction, she copied it neatly again.
She can't help but have beautiful cursive script, and her lower case script is also very delicate.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked Mr. Gui to take it and print it.
Mr. Turtle wondered: "It will cost a lot of money to make this engraving."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "Carving plate?"
Printing is still at the stage of engraving now?Movable type printing has never been available?
If I had known that she would have invented movable type printing and opened a bookstore, she would have made a fortune.
Now she is planning for the Misty Rain Building. She has limited energy alone, so she found a woodblock printing workshop by herself.
Hand over the leaflets copied by Fu Que to the shopkeeper.
"I want to print [-] pages and take them away in batches." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The shopkeeper looked at the single page, "Return to the lady's words, engrave this page, fifty copies, and print [-] pages, two hundred copies."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Can you let me take a look at your workshop?"
The shopkeeper thought she was worried, so he nodded in agreement and took her to the workshop to have a look.
There are four or five woodblock craftsmen.
There are also seven or eight little guys who printed with ink.
"How long does it take to carve a plate?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
A craftsman raised his head and looked at her leaflet, "My lady, this page has many characters and slender handwriting. It will take a month to finish the first page."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "I want it in three days."
"That's impossible!" The craftsman shook his head.
The shopkeeper also looked sideways at her, "If my lady wants to print it, we will definitely speed up, but three days, it is absolutely impossible."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't speak, but looked around and found a square box.
"Is there clay for pottery?" she asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked around and saw a few broken and discarded engraving blocks on the ground, so he picked them up and handed them to Zhu Xiang, "Split them open and form characters one by one."
Zhuxiang was taken aback, seeing the lady nodding at her.
She took the engraving block, and with a knife beside her, cleverly split the words on the engraving block.
But there was no preparation in advance, and the engraving blocks under the word were split in different sizes and not very neatly.
Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the characters one by one, reassembled them, and placed them in the square box.
The shopkeeper stared at her, not understanding what she wanted to do at first.
When she saw the words she picked up and put them back into a square box to form another sentence, which had nothing to do with the original engraving.
He suddenly understood!
"My lady—you are so smart! This...this is amazing! It's amazing!" The shopkeeper acted as if he saw some amazing masterpiece.
However, what was placed in front of him was nothing more than a crooked box of words that had been split from abandoned engraving blocks.
"The lady is really a god, how did the lady come up with such a wonderful recipe?" The shopkeeper was excited.
After the craftsmen saw it, they became excited.
"It's so good! The content of such a edition can be assigned to several people to do at the same time, and the characters used this time can still be used next time! The more editions are engraved, the faster it will be printed in the future! Even if it is If the engraving is wrong, there is no need to discard the entire page! My God! This is a great idea!" The craftsmen seemed to see the dawn of saving their hands and labor, and they were more excited than the shopkeeper.
