Chapter 19: Diao Girl
Tonggu was even more interested, and his red eyes were starry. "Oh? It seems that the Fourth Highness has a better idea? ”
Shang Yishe shook his head helplessly, thinking that this was two money strings touching a piece, and it seemed that the two of them were going to talk about business. Shang Yishe moved his position and went to greet the other princes, and vacated his position for the four princes.
The fourth prince said to Tonggu with great interest: "We can grow tea, make tea, and sell tea in one shop." In this way, will not a lot of money be earned? ”
Tonggu had a profiteer's expression on his face, greed written on his face. "The Fourth Highness is really magnificent, I don't know how we should start?"
When the four princes saw Tonggu's expression, they knew that there was a drama in this business. "Tomorrow, I will ask Xiao Diao to go to Lei Mansion to find you, and then she will discuss the details with you, this palace is the prince after all, and it is inconvenient to come forward for some things."
Tonggu nodded, picked up a cup of tea and said, "Tonggu is here to replace wine with tea, salute the Fourth Highness." ”
When the sixth prince saw the aura of a businessman on Tonggu's body, he felt a little lost, but he didn't show it. The five princes did not communicate with Tonggu during the banquet, but only looked at Tonggu from time to time.
After Tonggu sent everyone away, he found Huaxi, "Huaxi, today's opening is good, thank you for your hard work." ”
Huaxi hurriedly got up and bowed: "This is what a slave should do, don't be polite to a girl." ”
Tonggu motioned for Huaxi to sit down and said, "I still have something for you to do now. ”
Huaxi said with a serious face: "Although the girl is instructed, the slave and maid will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”
Tonggu touched Huaxi's head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I want to open a medical clinic for Bai Ze and want you to go to Zhang Luo." ”
Huaxi blushed and said, "Don't worry, girl, Huaxi will handle this matter well." ”
Tonggu went back to the house to rest after explaining the matter, and Lingxu was already sleepy and tired after a day of helping the teahouse, so Tonggu let Lingxu go back to the room to rest. After Zhu Tao Zhuqing waited for Tonggu to bathe, Tonggu was also ready to rest, and just walked to the bed when he heard a squeak and the door opened.
"Are you two still going to be shameless? Breaking into the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night? Tonggu looked at Shang Yishe and the Seven Princes who came in angrily.
Shang Yishe is a habitual offender, and there is no wave on his face. But the prince of Wu was indeed red, his fox eyes were ethereal, and he didn't know where to fall.
"Stinky girl, I'm wronged, it's Shi Yutang who wants to see you." Shang Yishe pretended to look aggrieved.
Tonggu looked at the Seventh Prince suspiciously and said, "Cousin Yu, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
The Seventh Prince's face was a little strange, and he looked at Tonggu with worried eyes and said, "Although the fourth brother is only twenty-two years old, he has been in business for more than ten years, and no one can calculate the wealth he has. Diao Girl is his right-hand man, and now the Diao family is also the richest family in the capital. But the fourth brother is still making a lot of money so far, as if the money is never enough to spend. Don't you think it's weird? ”
In other words, he doesn't know where the wealth he has collected is going? It's kind of interesting. Tonggu said with a wry smile.
The Seventh Prince's expression became nervous, and he clenched his fists and said, "You don't have to wade into danger, this troubled water is not something you can wade into." ”
Shang Yishe also began to get nervous, and helped persuade: "Girl, this is not a joke, and the risk of power struggle is not something you can mix." ”
Tonggu yawned and said, "Okay, I know, I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep first." ”
Shang Yishe and the Seventh Prince glanced at each other, and neither of them understood whether Tonggu agreed or not. Ketonggu snored when he got on the bed and covered the quilt, and the two had no choice but to leave first, and then give advice when they had the opportunity.
On the morning of the second day, the girl surnamed Diao arrived as scheduled, and the strange thing was that there was no one to stop the Diao girl from entering the house. It stands to reason that the Zhao family should come forward to stop it at this moment, and today the sun is really coming out of the west.
Tonggu looked at the woman surnamed Diao in the distance in the courtyard, and saw a girl with a delicate figure and a noble body walking slowly. The woman is wearing a dark green satin group, wearing a coal-colored gown, on which the peony pattern outlined by green silk threads can be faintly seen, and the head is facing the clouds near the fragrant bun, with a set of spring-colored jade head and face echoing the pattern of the gown. The waist is tied with a jade waist seal, which tightens the slender waist and makes it more concave and convex. The breeze blows, blowing the corners of the skirt, showing fluttering steps, and getting rid of a stunner in the world.
"The little girl Diao Shi Shuhua has seen three girls." Diao Shuhua smiled but was not enchanting.
Tonggu replied: "Fortunately, I will be Diao girl." ”
The two of them entered the front hall together and sat down, holding fragrant tea. Diao Shuhua was silent when she saw Tonggu, and she was not in a hurry, but only greeted first: "In the past, I only heard from His Royal Highness that the third girl was overwhelmed by the country and the city, but now that I have met, I know that His Royal Highness is still much more modest." ”
Tonggu thought to himself, this sycophant kung fu is really exaggerated. "Diao Girl has won the award, if you talk about beauty, Diao Girl is better." Tonggu also learned Diao Shuhua's tone.
Diao Shuhua half-covered her mouth with her cuffs and said with a smile: "The third girl is really good at laughing, I am very close to the girl." You and I don't want to be so outside, how old am I, so I beg for face, why don't you call me sister in the future? ”
"Very good, very good. Then Sister Diao will call me sister in the future," Tonggu hypocritically pandered.
Diao Shuhua's laughter was even more crisp, "Good sister, my sister brought a meeting gift to my sister, and I hope my sister will not dislike it." ”
Diao Shuhua's maidservant presented a box and knelt in front of Tonggu, and Lingxu stepped forward to take the box and opened it in front of Tonggu. I saw that in the box was a set of white crystal heads.
Tonggu raised his eyes and glanced at it casually and said, "Thank you sister for your kindness." With that, he let the spirit ruin hand it over to Zhutao and take it.
Diao Shuhua's face flashed with surprise for a moment, and then immediately retracted. "Good sister, today I also have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, I think the Fourth Highness should have mentioned to you about the tea business, I don't know what my sister thinks?"
Tonggu took a sip of tea and said: "This matter is not urgent, besides, the tea business has a large investment, and the return of money is too slow, so it is not a good business." ”
A hint of shrewdness flashed in Diao Shuhua's eyes, "So my sister has a better idea?" ”
Tonggu was not in a hurry, and said in a soothing tone: "How about opening a treasure pavilion?" ”
Diao Shuhua was disappointed in her heart, thinking that the fourth prince was not accurate about people, so she found a girl who didn't know anything. But on the face, Diao Shuhua still said to Tonggu with an amiable look: "Good sister, your idea is very good, but there are already five or six shops selling treasures in the capital, and they are all time-honored brands, so it is not easy to compete with them for business." ”
Tonggu was not impatient, and asked Lingxu to get what she had prepared. "Sister doesn't know, those shops sell just ordinary products, I have good goods in my hands, and my sister is in the palm of my hand?"
Lingxu opened the box, and a pair of crystal unicorns came into view. Tonggu picked one up casually and handed it to Diao Shuhua and said, "Sister, look at this kind of color, can it still be regarded as eye-catching?" ”
Diao Shuhua almost didn't hold it, and only then did she come back to her heart. I thought, no wonder Tonggu saw the crystal head disdainful just now, it turned out that he didn't look down on it. Diao Shuhua carefully put the unicorn back into the box and said, "Good sister, you should be careful with this kind of treasure, but don't break it." ”
Tonggu picked up a unicorn and threw it directly on the ground, and the crystal unicorn shattered all the residues, and everyone was shocked. Tonggu laughed and said: "There are many of this kind of thing, how many are there, and what does it matter if you break a few?" ”
Diao Shuhua's beads of sweat fell on her forehead, and she didn't dare to despise Tonggu in front of her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Good sister is right, if my sister has such a treasure in her hand, it is really feasible to open a treasure pavilion." ”
Tonggu asked Diao Shuhua to sit down and said, "Sister, the ordinary Treasure Pavilion is very boring. Scarcity is expensive, we only open two days a month, sell in the form of auctions, only do VIP, this is called hunger marketing. The biggest advantage of this kind of trading is that it is less invested and more profitable. The most impressive point is that the amount of money earned is large and the speed of making money is fast. ”
Diao Shuhua has been confused by Tonggu, she doesn't understand what VIP is and what hunger marketing is, she only thinks that Tonggu's idea is novel and bold, and feasible. But it was not easy for her to change the plan temporarily, and she said with a sad face: "Good sister, I still have to discuss this matter with His Royal Highness, can my sister allow my sister for two days?" ”
Tonggu smiled and said in a soft tone: "Why not?" My sister is just talking about it. ”
Diao Shuhua's eyes were suspicious, but the smile on her face was still undiminished. "Good sister, my sister treats you as her own, and she will say it bluntly if she has some questions. Such a good business, why doesn't my sister do it herself? ”
Tonggu had expected Diao Shuhua to have this question, and said directly: "My sister should know that my teahouse business is very prosperous, and I don't have enough manpower. If you open a store again, you are really lacking in skills and unable to support it. What's more, I am a deep boudoir woman and do not know dignitaries. And the four highnesses are well-connected, this business is a business of dignitaries, and it is difficult to succeed without connections. ”
Diao Shuhua listened carefully, and after repeatedly confirming in her heart that there was no loophole in what Tonggu said, Shi Shiran said: "My sister is really a transparent person, and she has a delicate heart." My sister is relieved that my sister will go back to discuss the matter and give my sister an answer as soon as possible. ”
Tonggu asked Zhutao Zhuqing to send Diao Shuhua out, and only the spirit ruins were left in the room. Lingxu was curious, scratching his head and touching his ears to analyze the beginning and the end. Seeing this, Tonggu couldn't help but sneer and said, "What are you doing? Live like a little monkey. ”
Lingxu's cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled with a pair of cute tiger teeth. "Girl, the slave always thinks that something is wrong with you today, but I can't say what is wrong."
Tonggu stretched out his hand and flicked the spirit ruin and said, "Do you think I'm very hypocritical?" Extraordinary? ”
"Yes, yes, which one is this girl?" Lingxu asked suspiciously.
"It's not that simple, this Diao Shuhua is full of shrewdness, and her belly is full of twists and turns. She came here today for three purposes, first, she knew my situation in the Thunder Mansion, but she deliberately entered through the main gate of the Thunder Mansion, this was to tell me that she had the ability and status. Second, she tried to test my skills many times and carefully tried to find loopholes, which was to test my background and want to know if someone was instructing me to do something. Third, she wanted to try her luck and see if she could find a way to get the money quickly. Tsuya narrowed her eyes and continued, "I saw in her eyes an extreme thirst for money, which really didn't fit her identity. You must know that her Diao family is an imperial businessman, how can the money she earned not be enough, so it seems that the whereabouts of the money are indeed very suspicious. ”
A sound of footsteps interrupted Tonggu's words, and he saw Aunt Zhu walking in with the post. "I've Seen Three Girls"
Tongya raised his hand to get up. "What is Aunt Zhu's doing today?"
"Back to the third girl, three days later it will be the old lady's birthday, the old lady means that she hopes that the juniors will be present and have a good time." Aunt Zhu has always been very well-behaved, never relying on the old and selling the old, and still bowed her head to answer.
Tonggu took the invitation and said, "There is Aunt Lao Zhu." ”
After sending Aunt Zhu away, Tonggu took the post and shook it in front of Lingxu's eyes, and said with an evil smile on his face: "Our opportunity has come." ”
