The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 47
For a moment, I was also startled, remembering that day the oiran Sai Helian Yunzhao always looked at me frequently, could it be that when I sent the letter to Li Jiu, what did he see?
"Young master!" Hongye Ji was very anxious, "Young master, Hongye's status is special, if there is any problem in cross-examination, but what should I do!"

Although I was also anxious, my face was very indifferent, and I said, "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

This Helian Yunzhang has always been famous, this person has always loved the flute, if he called, he should also call the girl in green shirt who played the flute that day, how did he find Hongye?
Hongye said, "Young master, ever since Hongye won the oiran that day, people have come to sing in the Red Tower every day, begging Hongye for a song with a thousand pieces of gold.

Hongye has been listening to the son's words, no matter who offers what price, she will only sing one song.But who knows, one day my mother came over in a hurry and said that this person was a big shot in the court and asked me to sing a song, and said that if I didn't sing, her Yinhonglou would never open again.

Hongye... Hongye couldn't bear her mother's complaints, so she sang a song for the fat official in the private room.The man was very happy after listening to it, and said that he would announce me to the mansion to sing the song in the future.Hongye only thought he said it casually, and didn't care, who would have thought that the official sent a servant to spread the news this morning, saying that it was the eighth king's birthday, and asked Hongye to go to the palace to sing. "

"Fat official?" Helian Yunzhang is tall, moderately fat and thin, how can he be called fat? "Tell me roughly, what does that person look like?"

Hong Ye nodded and said, "That man is fatter, with big ears and a small mole at the corner of his mouth."

After listening to her, I also felt relieved, this person is not Helian Yunzhang.

I thought it was my overthinking, that day when he was standing in front, he couldn't have seen something by such a coincidence.

On the prince's birthday, there are many people waiting for the autumn wind, and the oiran singing hall has its own charm. This person regularly wants to find Hongye to please Helian Yunmao.

I comforted me in a soft voice, "Listen to what you said, it's not a problem to go to the singing hall, you just go there, don't be too pushy, so as not to cause trouble."

Hongye was still a little apprehensive, "But, if someone asks where Hongye comes from, where does he live, what should he do?"

I said softly, "Don't worry, it's the Eighth Prince's birthday tomorrow, you should dress a little more gaudy, and make sure to wear heavy makeup, and leave immediately after singing, naturally no one will ask you. But if someone asks, you can say I have been wandering since I was a child, and I don't want to elaborate on my life experience, so no one will ask too much detail."

Hongye pondered for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Hongye obeys your master's orders."

After asking the whole story, I felt relieved, sat down and said, "Is there any clue about what I asked you about last time?"

Hongye nodded and said, "Young master, Hongye has recently attracted a few sisters, and with the addition of secret attention, it is clear that there is no backer in this Yinhong Building, and Sister Lan is the real boss of this building.

Hongye also found out that Sister Lan was originally a rich woman, and she came to Xiqi because she fell in love with her lover by mistake. Later, the lover abandoned her and married a lady from another family. Sister Lan was disheartened, so she opened this red house.

The business here has been good a few years ago, and the store has expanded. In the past few years, the Red Pavilion has opened more, and the business has gradually declined. If I hadn't suddenly won the oiran, and there was a peony, the business would not last long. . "

So good.

I thought there would be a backstage in this red hall, but since there is no one, everything will be much more convenient.

"Young master..." Hongye said softly, "Young master, now Hongye has become the oiran, what should I do next?"

I smiled slightly, you don't need to do anything for now, just continue to sing one song every day.What needs to be done, I will let you know.

"Yes." Hong Ye replied, and I went out, asked Xiao Guan to lead the way, and went directly to Sister Lan.

"Ouch, isn't this my little son? If you don't come for a long time, my sister will miss you."

A smell of rouge and vulgar powder rushed over, I took half a step back calmly, and smiled, "Sister Hong, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much, why don't you go to the elegant room with me to have a cup of tea, I don't know what Sister Lan wants how?"

Sister Lan giggled and said, "Oh my little son, you are sister Zhesha, there are many beautiful and talented girls here, some who can drink, some who can dance, and even more who can recite poems and make right, Why did the young master find his sister for tea. How about this, my sister let Xinlai come down and sing a flower drum opera for the young master, what do you think?"

I nodded, "Of course I want to listen to the Flower Drum Opera, but I'm thirsty today, so I want my sister to have a cup of tea with me."

Sister Lan gradually stopped laughing, hugged my shoulders and sized me up, and finally laughed, "Cheng Chengcheng, since the young master thinks of Sister Lan so much, then sister will make a pot of good tea, and I will be with you, young master." , let’s talk about homework~”

"Chuntao, come up and say hello, I'll go to the back room and I'll be right back." She gave an order, then turned around and led me to turn a few corners into a small hall.

She asked me to sit down first, then went to the bookshelf to find a tea cake, made tea with warm water and hot water, handed the tea soup to me and said, "I don't know how to make tea like the girls in the courtyard, so don't take offense, my young master."

I took the teacup, sniffed it lightly, took a sip, and tasted it for a while before saying, "The taste is mellow and the soup is thick, it really is the best aged Pu'er."

Sister Lan smiled slightly, and turned to sit on the chair at the other end of the table, "Young master, you don't have to be imposing, you just go out to the right and there is a big teahouse, if you just want to drink tea, you will naturally go to the teahouse, so why not?" Will you come to my Yinhong Tower? My sister Lan has been around for so many years, and I can still see this wink. Tell me, what is it?"

I smiled slightly, "Sister Lan is indeed a good-natured person, she speaks straightforwardly, that's fine, since Sister Lan is straightforward, I won't let her go. In a word, I want to join the Red Chamber."

"What!" Sister Lan's face twisted instantly, "Entering the Red Chamber? Young master, sister, I heard right."

I put down the tea bowl, smiled and said nothing.

She looked at me for a while, and said, "Young master, to tell you the truth, two months ago, my sister really wanted to sell the Yinhong real estate. She bought a small house in a place near the mountains and rivers. In a few days, she will be like a fairy. little days.

But today is different. Today's Yinhonglou not only has oirans, but also peonies. When you wake up early and open your eyes, a lot of money flows in like water. Who wants to live a clean life?So, Sister Lan, I am planning to expand the store next year. As for buying shares, the young master should find another job. "

I smiled, picked up the jade ornaments on the table, and gently fiddled with them, "Today is indeed different, but if one day, you, the oiran of Yinhonglou, are redeemed by someone, and Peony finds another good place, Sister Lan will come back again." How about it?"

Her complexion was slightly wrong, "Young master, what's the meaning of this?"

I put the ornaments back to the original place, and said with a slight smile, "Just to remind Sister Lan, if I remember correctly, there was a red card here before, but there is no hundred-day red card, and the red card has been sitting for a long time, so naturally I want to wash my hands and do it." The day of soup. If one day, the current oiran of Yinhonglou is not here, I am afraid that sister Lan's situation will not be very good."

Sister Lan said nothing, just squinted at me.

I took a sip of Pu'er, tasted it for a while, and threw out a big move, "If I can win one oiran, I can win the second one. Why doesn't Sister Lan consider letting me become a shareholder? From now on, you can be carefree." Waiting for the money to go into your pocket?"

"You!" Sister Lan stood up abruptly, seeming a little out of breath.

However, she had been in the red hall for so long, and her mind was naturally clear, and after thinking about the matter, she naturally figured it out.

She giggled, and sat back again, "Sister Lan, I'm really blind, I don't know a real hero, I can't imagine that the young master is so young, he is so tricky, I admire, I admire."

I smiled and took another sip of Pu'er.

Sister Lan was no longer annoyed, and said, "Young Master is very thoughtful, and Sister Lan, I won't talk about turning corners anymore.

I have been running this Yinhonglou for many years, even if I have no feelings, I will have some feelings.If you just hand over to others like this, I feel reluctant in my heart.But I also know that with the means of the young master, if I insist on saying no today, the young master must have other methods to take me away from Yinhonglou in the future.

Today, the young master gave me a hearty sentence, how did Sister Lan offend the young master?Why does the young master have his eyes on me? "

I smiled slightly, "Sister Lan, what did you say? I want to join today because I want to help Sister Lan earn more money."

Sister Lan giggled, "Young master, I don't understand this. If you join me in the Red Chamber, some of the bonus will naturally be shared. How can you earn more money?"

"If you earn 1000 taels a day now, and my daily income triples after I join the share, then regardless of my dividends, sister Lan's income will be much more."

Sister Lan snorted, "What you said is reasonable, but the business in Huajie has not been good in the past few years. It may be difficult to triple the income."

I put down the teacup, looked at her and said, "In the past, Yinhonglou only had red cards and no courtesans. Now, there is one? If Sister Lan doesn't believe it, let's make a bet that within two months, you don't have to do anything. Then I can double the income of the Red Mansion, okay?"

Sister Lan seemed to be interested, she got up and looked at me with her arms around her shoulders, and said, "If we accept people here, can't we double it?"

I took out 500 taels of silver notes from my sleeve and put them on the table, "This is a bet. If the money doubles within two months, you will let me take the share. If it cannot be doubled, I will pay you more than this amount." Ten times the stakes."

Ten times, that is 5000 taels.Sister Lan was a little tempted, "Are you really going to accompany 5000 taels?"

I smiled, "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow."

You don't have to do anything, you may get 5000 taels in two months, this deal seems to be a good deal...

Sister Lan hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth, "Okay, it's up to you. But there is nothing to prove, we will make a bet to prove it. If there is no improvement in the money after two months, you need to take out 5000 taels of silver. "

"That's natural!" I laughed secretly in my heart, what I was waiting for was the words of making a bet!
Sister Lan took the Four Treasures of the Study, smoothed the paper with a paperweight, and started to write things down on the paper.After signing the name and pressing the cinnabar handprint, the bet is complete.

Picking up the paper and banknotes and handing them to Sister Lan, he said, "Leave this to you first, and there will be a basis for it in the future."

"Okay." She nodded and took it, carefully folded it and put it in her sleeve pocket.From her point of view, the current income is already a record high, and it is absolutely impossible to double it. The bet was 5000 taels delivered to her door for nothing two months later, how could she accidentally put it away.

"Young master, do you want some refreshments? I'll send someone to bring them to you right away." Sister Lan will be in a good mood now.

I said, "There's no need for refreshments. I still have something to do, so I'll save more. I'll draw you a drawing of the lobby that needs to be modified. You can finish it as soon as possible according to the drawing, so that you can make more money as soon as possible.

She was a little stunned, and I smiled, "I only said that you don't need to do anything, but I didn't say that I will do anything. Didn't I give you 500 taels, and use the money first. If it is not enough, you can do it first." Advance payment, I will give it to you next time I come."

Sister Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally took the pattern.

Calculating the time, I may have been out for a long time, and seeing that it was almost noon, I got up and said goodbye.

Sister Lan sent me to the door, I nodded slightly, went out to grab some medicine first, and then walked towards the general's mansion.

After solving the affairs outside the mansion, we should also solve the affairs inside the mansion.

The second lady's account should have been settled a long time ago. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so let's just say today.

It's time for Su Hong to take off the colorful hat he wore for such a long time.

The General's Mansion has been quiet for too long, it's time for it to be lively...
