When he entered the shop, he saw the tables and chairs lying on the floor in a mess. The cups and plates were shattered on the ground, and it was a scene of devastation. I picked up a relatively clean stool and sat down. I looked around carefully. This restaurant looked quite old. The decoration was okay, but it was a little old. It was about two to three hundred square meters. There should be a private room upstairs, but the railing of the stairs was broken. It looked like it had just experienced a barbaric destruction.
After looking around, I looked at the couple who were still standing there in a daze. The two of them were probably in their twenties. The man was slightly older and looked decent. He looked educated and reasonable. Seeing that they were silent, I said,"How about we do business?"
The man was still at a loss, but the woman reacted first."Thank you for saving me just now, but we don't know each other. Why did you help me? Three thousand taels of silver was not a small sum.”
"What if I say that I also like your shop?”"I paid three thousand taels of silver for you, so does this shop belong to me?"”
"You're also interested in my shop?”The man beside him seemed to have woken up from a dream and was surprised."Aren't you afraid of the Ninth Prince?"
"Why should I be afraid of him?" I calmly asked,"Why does the Ninth Prince want your shop?"”
"Young lady, are you from another city?" The woman sat down opposite me, seemingly curious about my appearance. I turned around and saw that the door was already closed, so I took off my gauze hat. As if I heard the couple gasp, I smiled at them."I'm from another city. Continue. Why does the Ninth Prince want to kill you like this?”
The man saluted me and said,"I am Gu Yunhe. This is my wife, Li Xiuying." My family's restaurant was left behind by my ancestors and has been running well. Ten years ago, the residence of the Ninth Prince was on this street. Coincidentally, his backyard was just outside the wall of my shop. Last year, he wanted to dig a pond in the backyard, so he had the idea of my shop. At first, he said he wanted to buy it, but because it was his ancestral property, his father would never sell it. The Ninth Prince ordered someone to lure his brother into gambling and lost more than twenty thousand taels of silver. His father had gone bankrupt to repay twenty thousand taels of silver on his behalf. He really could not pay back the remaining two thousand taels of silver. A month ago, my brother was beaten to death by them when they were in debt, and my sister-in-law also hanged herself. His father was anxious and angry, and soon after, he also passed away. Young Lady already knows what happened after that…"
"I see!" I tilted my head and thought for a while." Now that the silver has been returned to him with interest, the Ninth Prince will not find trouble with us in the short term." How about this, how about we cooperate?"
"Cooperate with what?" Gu Yunhe and his wife looked at each other. I smiled faintly."Isn't your house connected to the back garden of the Ninth Prince Residence? Let's open a flower house!"
"What?" Not only Gu Yunhe and his wife, but also Si Yue and Old Zhang exclaimed.
"Of course it's not an ordinary brothel!”I was full of confidence." My brothel has the best dishes, the best wine, the most beautiful women, and of course, the most expensive price.”
"But…"
"No buts." I interrupted Gu Yunhe,"Don't you like money?" I'm going to make a lot of money under his nose! Wasn't he trying to save face? I want to bloom in his backyard! "If we set the price high, then ordinary people will definitely not come. Those who can come are the relatives of the emperor, merchants, and nobles. When the time comes, everyone will be watching, and he won't dare to do anything to us.”
"I think it will work!" "We just want to embarrass him!" Li Xiuying said hatefully. Make him jealous!"
"I didn't expect Cousin to be so bold.”"My surname is Qin, and my name is Jin Se." How about I call you cousin from now on?"
"Of course I'm happy to have a cousin like you.”She said happily,"You're so beautiful!" Seeing that you have such meticulous thoughts at such a young age, I really can't compare to you.”
"So young?" "Cousin!" Don't look down on me because I'm young, I'm actually a woman!”
“……”
Looking at Gu Yun and his wife's dumbfounded expressions, I wanted to laugh, but I held it in in the end. "Since we've agreed, then let's do this." I think the things in this shop can't be used anymore. Throw them all away! Get someone to fix it up properly. Your place is big. It won't be finished without a month or two. I also need time to find some girls. Come to my house tomorrow. I'll tell you about the renovation plan. You'll be in charge of it. I'll ask Old Zhang to pick you up tomorrow.”
When we return to the Forgotten Dust Residence, I'll ask Old Zhang to inquire about the official slaves. The so-called official slaves were officials who had made mistakes and were convicted of looting their homes. Their womenfolk were sent to the yamen as servants. Some unmarried young ladies and maidservants would be sold by the government and the money earned would be handed over to the national treasury. Those who bought them were mostly rich people. They felt that buying a young lady from an official's family as a concubine was a very prestigious thing, so the price was very high. Some even sold for more than a thousand taels.
Old Zhang went out. I took a piece of paper and carefully drew the renovation drawings. In the past, I often played the Sims and especially liked building houses. Isn't it a piece of cake for me to renovate a brothel? Not long after, I finished drawing the blueprint. Although the drawing was not very good, at least it expressed the general meaning. After thinking about it, he decided to customize the table and chairs, cutlery, and utensils. I'll talk to Gu Yunhe and his wife tomorrow. They should be able to meet my requirements.
Old Zhang came back during dinner time. When he replied, he was still so slow."I've been to the official and slave office. Tomorrow is the day of the auction. Under their guidance, I even went to the official media…"
"Wait, what do you mean by official media?"
"The official matchmakers are one level higher than the official slaves. Most of the people raised inside are the families of officials above the fifth rank, and they are all of average appearance. As long as the price was right, it could be sold, but it was a little more complicated.”
"Understood…that means you have to spend more money. Alright, thank you. We'll go and take a look tomorrow.”
The next morning, Old Zhang brought Gu Yun and his wife over. I took out the blueprint and told them about my idea. They were confused. I explained it in detail. Li Xiuying was so excited that her face turned red."Younger Sister is really amazing! These blueprints looked very difficult, but after listening to his sister's explanation, they felt simple. It was just that these things had to be custom-made.”
"Of course we have to customize it!" I said confidently,"What I want is the effect that is unique to this shop!" When you find someone to do it, you have to sign an agreement with them. Because the blueprint was provided by us, you are not allowed to do the same for anyone else. If you violate it, you must be severely punished!"
"Of course!" "We'll do it now. It's just silver…" Gu Yunhe was also a little excited.
"Of course I'll pay for the silver." I took out five thousand taels of silver,"This should be enough." Let me say this first. Although the shop is yours, I paid for it. This money will be deducted from your shares.”
"What shares?" Gu Yunhe looked at me blankly.
"As for the shares," I thought for a moment."The shop is yours. I'm the one who paid for the renovation, furniture, and utensils. This way, we'll split the profits 20 - 80. I'll take 80 and you take 20. How about that? The 3000 taels will be deducted from your 30%. After that, you can get the money. This was a no-cost business! Do you agree?"
"Of course!" Gu Yunhe was touched.”
"Then it's settled!" I asked Siyue to bring a pen and paper to write down the contract. After both parties sign and sign, each party will keep a copy. "There's one more thing." Because of some reasons that I can't say, I can't show my face in public. In the future, he would have to trouble his sister and brother-in-law to socialize outside.”
"This is good too." Li Xiuying nodded." You're a woman, and you're so good-looking. It's not suitable for you to show your face in public."”
I smiled and didn't comment. He only told them to get things done as soon as possible. It would be much less risky to open the shop before the Ninth Prince acted up.
After sending off Gu Yunhe and his wife, I changed into a thick fur coat and went out to the official slave house.
I'm very sorry, everyone. Recently, Qingshui has been very, very busy…I can't touch the computer at all…Today, I'm going to write three chapters in one breath. If you like it, please leave a message to cheer for Qingshui!!!!!!!
