The predecessor of Dongfeng Building is a veritable green building, Chen Jiu is sold here, she has no special skills, the only specialty is that the face is beautiful, and it is difficult to escape a fate.

Chen Jiu herself knew this, although she complained that her fate was so miserable, but after crying for a night, she could only accept it helplessly, and was ready, and when the ten taels of life-saving money reached her father, she then broke it off on her own.

Fate seems to be so fond of playing tricks on people, what it is best at is to trick people to the edge of desperation, and then scatter a ray of dawn with his backhand, so that people continue to survive, so as to screen out the weak.

The requirement given to Chen Jiu by Qinglou's bustard mother was that she must earn fifty taels of income for Qinglou, otherwise the ten taels of selling money could only be cashed out for three taels. After being a girl serving tea in the Qinglou for a few days, her face has been recognized by those who often come to the Qinglou, and most of her reputation has been ruined.

In misfortune, she had a chance to meet the Oiran in the building at that time, that is, Ziyu, the sister of Zisu, the new owner of Dongfeng Building more than ten years later.

Under Ziyu's advice, Chen Jiu resigned to his fate and decided to make good use of the only advantage he could still use at the moment. The debut that is only once in her life is sold for fifty taels, which is really reluctant in the current situation at that time, but this is her only bargaining chip, and she only has one chance to try.

The bustard's mother also hoped that the newly bought girl could make more money for the building, and she didn't urge her to hurry up and sell it at first. In this limited time. Fortunately, with the help of Oiran Ziyu, Chen Jiu, who had no experience at all, entered a private room. The three men in this private room were all distinguished guests, and if they had been greeted well, they would probably have earned fifty taels, even though they had earned it by their bodies. But this is a glimmer of hope that is hard to come by in the harsh reality.

However, she didn't have any foundation for foxy tricks, and the few tricks that Oiran Ziyu kindly taught her were even more difficult to master, she deliberately spilled a glass of wine on the person with red lips and white teeth and a slightly sharp voice among the three people, obviously to pretend to be unintentional, but because of her clumsy acting skills, she spilled the wine on the faces of others, attracting a reprimand from a guest with a thick voice like a hammer on the other side.

After this scolding, she was really afraid, her hands and feet trembled, but she was no longer acting.

Fortunately, a third cheerful guest dissuaded him, and the scolding gradually stopped. The one who scolded and the one who spoke softly then went out of the chamber together. The only thing left in the room was the cheerful guest who had helped her just now. But she didn't dare to look at him.

She didn't want to come to work in a place like Qinglou, although she couldn't escape it in the end, and she had already made the decision to sell herself. But her state of mind has not changed, for every guest who walks into this building, she has secretly nailed a light and thin two-character sign, including the young man who clearly helped her in the private room just now, and did not take advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room at this time, but was just drinking alone.

After a long time in the private room, she came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine for him, and thought that she was no longer the old wine of Chen Wu Winery, but the wine girl of the Qinglou. Her mood suddenly darkened, and she forgot for a moment that Oiran had taught her the skill of laughing when she accompanied the wine.

She didn't dare to look at the young man's face, but the man had been watching the change in her expression, and as she poured him a drink, he suddenly reached out and took her wrist.

When she struggled instinctively, and soon realized her lowly identity and gave up, she was extremely nervous and thought that she was about to be occupied in this private room, but she saw that the man let go of the hand that was holding her wrist like iron, and chuckled: You don't look like a woman in the Qinglou, when you were holding the wine jug just now, your hands were very steady and your eyes were very focused, but why did you do that deliberately?

The cheerful guest who stayed alone in the private room and drank alone was Lin Shan, who sat quietly at the table in front of her, a person who brought her a turning point when her fate was at its lowest point, a man who influenced half of her life, and perhaps the rest of her life.

It wasn't until years later that she understood that the reason why he would suddenly grab her wrist was just to test whether she could do martial arts and whether she was an assassin in disguise.

Lin Shan's first impression of Chen Jiu was that she was shocked, not by the kind of maverick talent he had, but that his words seemed to be like a sword blade, which could open the door of people's hearts. At that time, she couldn't hide anything in front of him, as long as he wanted to know, she ended up unconsciously telling the truth, and of course, in the end, she was forced to sell herself.

At that time, she didn't know Lin Shan's true identity, but she only felt that this man who drank alone seemed to be really rich, and took out a gold ingot of five taels of gold, and he told her to leave the Qinglou and find another way to make a living, and she suddenly couldn't cry.

For the same amount, gold can be three times the value of silver, and five taels of gold can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver, even if it is lost in the process of exchanging huàn because of the war, it is enough to exceed the ten taels of silver that she sold herself in the Qinglou.

If she was working in a more regular restaurant and suddenly had so much money, she could indeed quit immediately. However, after working as a handyman in the green building for a few days, in addition to the rumors and rules she had seen and heard about the building, there were also some things that the bustard's mother had warned her about to prevent her from sneaking away, which made her dare not act rashly.

With the life-saving money, of course Chen Jiu didn't want to stay in the Qinglou anymore, and the matter of selling herself was avoided, but she was also very scared, if she violated the rules in this building, maybe she wouldn't even be able to stay in Kyoto anymore, but her father's illness could not be cured immediately if she had money, could she stand the pain of running around?

It's really hard to have no money, and it's hard to have money.

Most of the reasons why Chen Jiu cried bitterly after holding the gold were also in this, and when she cried to the end, she even resented again, why couldn't she meet the person in front of her earlier?

Without further ado, she then sued Lin Shan, including the information she knew about the building. It was only a few years later that she learned that it was what she said that day that made Lin Shan confident enough to find the owner of this green building, including the owner of this green building by unknown means.

She couldn't forget the expression on her face when the bustard's mother packed up her bags and went out when she looked back at her when the green building changed hands.

If it weren't for her conversations with Lin Shan, I'm afraid the change of ownership of Qinglou wouldn't have been so fast. Later, she recalled the events of that day, but she was secretly frightened, glad that she met Lin Shan on that day, not someone else, otherwise she could be regarded as not guarding against it several times, and she might have lost her life before she could **.
