Chapter Seventy-Eight: Successful Negotiations
Ge Yuxin said in her heart, this little girl who has never seen the world is simply whimsical. Don't look at her lips touching, it's easy to say, but it's hard to really put it into practice.
Since ancient times, they have been serving men in this business, even if they are Qingqi people who do not sell their bodies, that is the original pretense. Where can this last for a long time, when you meet some rich and powerful, can you stick to your principles and refuse to commit? It's impossible.
"I know it's not that easy to do, because it's more tempting and challenging." Situ Cheng looked at Ge Yuxin's eyes fixedly.
"No, no." Ge Yuxin said again and again, if this matter is not done well, she will offend the powerful, and she still wants to live a good life for a few more years.
"Humph! Ge Yuxin, who is famous in Kyoto, is nothing more than that. I don't know! No guts! Situ Cheng said coldly and sarcastically.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what kind of little calculation you have in your heart, don't forget jì, your fate is still in the palm of my Ge Yuxin's hand." Ge Yuxin heard Situ Cheng speak to her like this, and threatened angrily.
"I know you're not short of money, but I don't believe you'll cut down the cash cow you've cultivated yourself." Situ Ming decided that she didn't dare to do anything to herself now.
"That's not necessarily, the only thing I don't lack in Yufangyuan is a girl, do you forgive me for not daring to take you? Rest assured I won't take your life, and you'll sell you to a good place. Ge Yuxin scared her.
"Didn't you Yufangyuan buy me at the beginning, just because you took a fancy to my background? The county lord of the previous dynasty, who can replace me? Situ continued.
"How do you know ......" Ge Yuxin said in surprise, she was going to save this trump card news for the most critical moment.
"What's so surprising about this, didn't you hear it from the wife at first?" In fact, Situ Cheng came out of the mouths of several mothers-in-law who accompanied her to Yihong Mansion that day, and she had long doubted why she was still using her real name in Cutting Red Dot Cui Pavilion, and other girls used flower names.
She didn't quite believe that the owner of the body she possessed was the former county lord, but since this rumor was very useful to her, why didn't she use it.
"Your face is not engraved with the words of the former county lord, who will know you. I could have found a random girl to take your place. Ge Yuxin said calmly.
"Other girls may not have the ability and confidence to win the first place like me, and it is in vain for you to put an identity on her." Situ retorted.
Ge Yuxin was almost stunned by Situ Ming, she knew exactly what she wanted to do, but the more she talked about it, the less she understood her.
"What do you want?" Ge Yuxin asked bluntly.
"I just want to get the laurel of the Oiran, you know that." Situ replied.
"What do you really want, I ask? Is it me, the red dot emerald pavilion? My Yufang Yuan? Or is it a free body? Ge Yuxin said.
Situ Cheng suddenly laughed, she laughed so happily that she burst into tears. What does she really want? What she wanted was revenge, what she wanted was her children from her past life. How could Ge Yuxin understand this, all she thought about was her wealth and power.
"I know you won't believe me no matter what I say. But look at me, is it possible for me to escape your Ge Yuxin's palm? I don't want to run for office, you say I have ulterior motives and want to get out of here. I'm trying to get the first place, and you're afraid that my wings will harden and fly out. You ask me what I want, why don't you ask yourself how much am I worth to you? Situ Cheng said sincerely.
If she wants to implement her plan, she must convince Ge Yuxin and get her support. After all, now she is under the eaves of other people's houses and has to bow her head. The words mentioned above are all to make Ge Yuxin fully support himself and put his ideas into action.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ge, I'm not interested in your property. If you drive me away now, I won't leave, what I want is very simple, I hope you will help me win the Oiran crown. Situ said with tears in her laughter.
"I don't believe you!" Ge Yuxin was still not at ease with her.
But in the end, one of the words Situ Cheng said touched her heart, how much is she worth to her?
"If I do what you say, can you guarantee that you will stand out from the crowd?" Ge Yuxin asked, this is back to what they discussed in the beginning.
"Of course I have this confidence, but the matter of voting is not so simple, and Aunt Ge must know it. The most feared are those who are willing to spend a lot of money this year to pursue the former Oiran. Situ said.
In fact, the rules for running for an Oiran are very simple, people go to a specific place to buy the entry post and the flower paper needed to vote. As long as you buy one post, it's enough, and the number of pieces of paper is of course the more, but you also have to do what you can.
The campaign is divided into three stages, the play-in round, the semi-final, and the final. Every time a schedule is over, a group of women are eliminated. When the play-in tournament is played, everyone who enters the stadium only needs to vote for a flower note for the whole game, which is to vote for a woman they like. In the rematch, it was stipulated that each person could only vote for two flowers, and they could be divided into two women, or they could be all voted for one woman.
It was different in the finals, at that time, it was the financial resources of the officials below, and you could vote as many flowers as you wanted. Like when he was running for the Oiran last time, Huang Huan spent a lot of money to make the peony girl an Oiran. There are still different versions of these things, but none of them can tell who he really is.
"The mysterious man you said was chasing the peony girl back then?" Ge Yuxin asked.
He is indeed a problem, and he doesn't know what the charm of the peony girl is, and she is fascinated by this noble son of extraordinary status.
"Aunt Ge, don't pretend to be here, others don't know who he is, can you still not know?" Situ Cheng laughed.
Ge Yuxin is the first person to communicate in Fengyue occasions, all she knows are high-ranking officials and nobles, she can't know Huang Huan's identity, Situ Cheng doesn't want to believe it.
"I know, since it is inconvenient for him to reveal his name, who dares to chew the root of his tongue below." Ge Yuxin acquiesced to knowing herself.
"Aunt Ge is now the big shopkeeper behind Yihong Courtyard!" Situ Cheng said suddenly.
"What are you trying to say?" Ge Yuxin asked.
"I want to use Aunt Ge's name to pick up Sister Peony to come to live in our Red Dot Cui Pavilion for a while, so I just said that the sisters want to ask her some things about the campaign. There's nothing wrong with that. Situ said.
"The peony girl is arrogant, and I am afraid that she will not come." Ge Yuxin was embarrassed.
"No matter how high the peony girl is, she is still a person from Yihong Mansion, since she belongs to Yihong Mansion, she has to obey the arrangement of the owner of Yihong Mansion. Besides, it wasn't for her to receive guests she didn't like, but for the sisters to ask her something, and she should feel honored. Situ said.
"You don't mean this, do you, you're using a strategy to attack the west?" Ge Yuxin suddenly understood.
"This is not called attacking the east and west, it is called drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and it is appropriate to say that it is the salary to win the kettle. As long as the kettle is taken away, I think no matter how much the firewood burns underneath, it will be in vain. Situ Ming said coldly.
"Let not the man be offended." Ge Yuxin understood what she meant and reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't offend him, I have my own way, as long as Aunt Ge believes me." Situ said.
"There are many things you don't understand, and I can't indulge you to make trouble for me like this." Ge Yuxin said sternly.
"If you don't worry about my plan, you can try me first." Situ said.
"What's the test?" Ge Yuxin asked.
"I can pretend to be Miss Peony's personal maid, and I'll be waiting for him when he comes in. You can watch from the attic of Yihong Building, and if that person is willing to look at me squarely and is interested in me, we can carry out the next plan. Situ said.
"That's a good idea." Ge Yuxin finally nodded in agreement, and Situ Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You should give me my stuff back now." Situ Ming said to Ge Yuxin.
"What's yours?" Ge Yuxin sneered, as long as the girl who entered here, she would have no self for a long time, and her whole body belonged to Yufangyuan.
"You're not such an eyeless person, are you, and you're rare with my broken bracelet." Situ Cheng said deliberately.
The jasper bracelet she wore on her left arm was gone as soon as she entered Yufangyuan. Situ Cheng remembered clearly that when they arrived in Kyoto, when the Jiangzhou women were locked up in a small courtyard, the bracelet was still there. I thought it was after I was fascinated by the medicinal tea when I arrived at Yufangyuan, and even my clothes and jewelry were taken away.
"My bracelet has my surname engraved on it, and it is a proof of my true origin, and I hope it can be returned." Situ said again.
It turned out to be that object, Ge Yuxin remembered. The bracelet didn't look anything special, except that it was engraved with the word Situ. The material is not like jade, and it is not in the hardware store, but like a stone at the bottom of the river.
"I'll go back and send someone to the storehouse to find it for you, maybe somewhere it's gone." Ge Yuxin said this and went out.
After waiting for a while, Absinthe walked out of the yard and looked out the door a few more times before running back to the house.
"Girl, how dare you talk to Master Ge like that, it scares us to death." Absinthe patted his chest.
"If you want to achieve your goals, you have to have her support. I'm locked up here, with nothing to do, nothing to rely on, isn't it just this sharp mouth? Situ said.
"The girl still relies on a smart brain, and the girl knows where Master Ge's ** is." Calamus Road.
"It's a pity that she is still too protective of me, she doesn't believe it when she says it is too good, and her words are hard, and she is annoyed that I have touched her majesty." Situ Cheng let out a long breath.
can be regarded as moving this lord, and he will be able to see Huang Huan soon. It's just that on the day of meeting, she can't show the slightest inappropriateness in her love, otherwise her previous achievements will be wasted.
Ay! That's where the hardest part becomes.
