Zhao Guanhou didn't want to, she actually knew COS, and secretly called a genius in her heart, he held back for nearly a week, and at most only the left and right ladies could relieve their troubles. Guarding such a beauty, if you don't want to say it, it is pure deception. It's just that he can still control himself and laugh at the moment

"Since Madame calls me so, I might as well obey my orders and call you sister. We have a brother and sister division, and I can say some things conveniently. Sister, do you want to make a name for yourself in Jinmen and make a career? ”

"Fame? Undertaking? Cao Menglan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "We have a reputation for making a living, like my good sister, who is known as the Four King Kongs in Songjiang." But when it comes to career, is sleeping with a man also considered a career? ”

"If it's just entertaining people with sex, it's really not a career, to say something that Sister doesn't like to hear, you're not young anymore, although you are naturally beautiful, but the flowers are not red for a hundred days, you can't go on like this. You have a lot of money, if you don't want to make a living, you won't be able to achieve much. ”

After listening to her narration, Zhao Guanhou already understood why the servant woman had a bad attitude towards him, and most of them regarded herself as a little white face eating slipper rice. Cao Menglan's current situation is very embarrassing, although there are some jewelry, and there are many items brought back from Taixi, but she is still sitting on a mountain of nothing.

In addition, her pomp and circumstance are large, her expenses are not small, and many things are necessary for the show, and they cannot be sold. For example, renting antiques to support the table this time made her have to bet on diamonds, and for her, economic problems are already a very important problem in front of her.

He patiently analyzed: "Although Jinmen and Songjiang are both big wharves, after all, there is a difference between the north and the south, the customs are different, and the number of roads is also different. What Sister wants to receive is not a peddler pawn, but a high-roller gentry, and the north and south are even more different. If you take out the title of Mrs. Champion, you can raise some value for yourself, but it is not a long-term solution after all. In case you meet any more enthusiastic masters, maybe in order to maintain Hong Zhuangyuan's reputation, he will drive you out of Jinmen. Moreover, the peers on the ground, and even the city fox society rats, may not be afraid of the champion who passed by. If you can't take care of one, you will always suffer a loss. I think you'll have to think differently and go the other way. ”

"Another way?" Cao Menglan was confused for a while, "I don't know anything, if I don't do this, what else can I do?" Unless Nong marries me back to be a child, I will make a partial house for Nong. ”

"Then I can't afford it. I mean, let you do it a little bit more skillfully. It's not just to usher in, it's ripe Wei Shengzhang. The land of Jinmen is not as expensive as Jingshi, and the wealth is inferior to Songjiang. However, most of the officials who came to Beijing from other places had to pass through Jinmen, and there were countless nobles coming and going; Among the merchants, there are Changlu salt merchants and compradors who eat foreign rice. Among them, some want to ask for officials, some want to ask for money, but not everyone can find a way. If Sister A can become a bridge among them, help them match, and collude with them, she can get the wind and the rain. Let's talk about a few gangsters, it is the order of Jinmen County, I am afraid that you will be afraid of three points. ”

What Zhao Guanhou said is almost the number of socialites in his own time and space, and at the moment of Jin Guo, there are indeed few women who can take this road. In the realm of Jinmen Fengchen, there is even more of nothing. Cao Menglan has traveled overseas, and her brain is much more flexible than that of ordinary women, and when Zhao Guanhou said it, she used her brain a little, and she also felt that this matter was promising, and she nodded frequently.

But then she shook her head again, "No, if you want to be like Nong said, you must first have a reliable man as a backer." Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a hollow old man, and within a few days, someone would have punctured the diorama. ”

"That's nature, this backer, first, to have authority, second, not to be afraid of material discussions, and third, to cover. It's just that if such a person is found, Sister Ah can eat him? ”

"What, Nong has a way?" Cao Menglan was overjoyed, it seems that she really met a noble person today, not only is he a young man with outstanding appearance, but also this kind of way to heaven, which can allow him to get acquainted with tough characters. It seems that God has opened his eyes, and his good days are coming.

When Zhao Guanhou saw her happy appearance, he knew that she had just expressed her good impression of herself, and she just wanted to find a backer, one to contribute, and the other to contribute, but she couldn't talk about anything else. This kind of relationship, in fact, he appreciates it very much, and they are not deeply involved with each other, so there is no need to make it unforgettable and trouble each other. Then he asked, "If that person is a foreigner, can Sister accept it?" ”

What he is worried about is actually the key to this, the local atmosphere in Tianjin is not as good as in the south, and he always hates foreigners more than he loves. Defeated by the opponent's ship, he had to switch off to do business, but there were many people who laughed at them on the surface and scolded the eight generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Even people in the flower world easily dislike to receive foreign guests, and there are even many people who have picked up foreign customers, causing their worth to plummet. This is the dignity of the **** country, looking down on foreigners, and doing human research with them is inevitably unseemly. Second, they are worried that foreigners will be sick and afraid of infecting themselves, so they will stay away.

If Cao Menglan is also worried, Zhao Guanhou is ready to recommend her to Jingshi, and then write a letter to Yang Cuiyu to entrust her to take care of her, even if she is right. How do you know that Cao Menglan listened to this question, and her expression was very surprised

"Foreigner, what's wrong with foreigner? When I visited Tessie, I saw a lot of foreigners, even if it was ...... Forget it, don't talk about this. In short, Nong knows foreigners? This ordinary foreigner can't do it, like some kind of Annan patrol, red-headed Ah San, I don't take them. ”

When Zhao Guanhou heard her say this, he knew that this was done, and smiled slightly, "What did Sister say, what is the difference between those people and us who pull rubber and carry big bags, how can it be their turn?" I studied in the martial arts academy and knew a few foreign teachers, and my monthly salary was three hundred taels. Of course, this salary is only enough for you to have a cup of coffee and a few words here. But they can introduce you to a very powerful foreigner, Yuan Daotai is training at a small station, and there is a Prussian counselor named Basens by his side. This person spoke in front of Yuan Daotai, not to mention it, he was a foreigner, a Prussian. Since Sister has been abroad, she should know that now in the Dajin Country, foreigners and Jinren, who has the final say. If you can entrap this foreigner, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a name for yourself? ”

Women like Cao Menglan, even if they go to the sea to do business, they are not received by everyone, and the people they serve must be big people with heads and faces. is not good, and he is also a wealthy businessman with a lot of money.

Since Basens is a foreign counselor, he can enter her eyes. Especially when she thought of Zhao Guanhou's path, there must be a reliable foreigner as the backstage in the future, and Basens is an excellent candidate. At least at this stage, among the people she can know, this person's status is incomparable, as long as she makes a name for herself from him, she is afraid that she will not be able to climb the high branches in the future and be close to the real dignitaries?

She thought of this, but she didn't know whether the person in front of her really had such great skills, or if he was clever and wanted to cheat her of her money. There was a trace of doubt in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "How much does Nong cost to do this?" ”

"Money?" Zhao Guanhou was stunned, and then laughed, "You took me as a liar?" Then there's nothing to talk about, you can do whatever you like, I don't care. Leave. ”

got up and was about to leave while speaking, Cao Menglan saw that he was annoyed, and her heart was shocked, if she didn't have this backer, Wanli Peak would be the one who did it, and she couldn't afford to provoke it. Hurriedly hugged Zhao Guanhou's waist from behind, "If Nong is ruthless to step out of this door, I will swallow a big smoke bubble." I'm just kind, I'm afraid that Nong will do things for me, and I will have to advance my own money. Although I don't have a lot of money, but in order to do this, I always want to break some silver taels, so why don't you have to be careful. It's a big deal, if you don't do it, you shouldn't have said it. ”

Zhao Guanhou cried when he saw her crying, laughing when he laughed, and at this time his face was full of tears, like a girl who had been tragically abandoned, which was quite pitiful. I couldn't help but pick my thumb in my heart, and praised it a few times, with this kind of means, I was very sure that I would be able to entrap Bassens.

sat back in his seat and snorted coldly, "Sister, your methods are clever, but don't use them on me, I have a daughter-in-law, she is very beautiful, so I won't draw your body." Although we are the first time to meet, it can be regarded as fate, and in this matter, I have fulfilled you, and I also have my own considerations. I don't care about money, so you don't have to worry about me using your money. I see these paintings on the wall, and that's good, and I asked, do you do Western dancing. ”

"Dancing? Yes. Cao Menglan nodded, "I often attend balls in Taixi, people call me the queen of the ballroom, I dance very well, I have danced with many big names, just like Prussia, there are several counts who have friendships with me...... Forget it, it's all in the past, so there's no need to mention it. In short, dance can be danced. ”

"That's good, I'm sure you'll be able to eat that dish."

"Not only can I eat, but I can also make it. It's just that these things are not recognized by many people in Jinguo, so I haven't mentioned them. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded again, "Then Sister is in Prussia, have you ever taken a photo with any dignitaries?" ”

"Yes. The emperor and empress of Prussia took pictures with our husband and wife, and the pictures of the group photos were kept in the stacking room, and because they were useless, they were not hung up. But I know there is no loss, and I can find out if I need to. ”

Zhao Guanhou heard her throw a photo of herself and her husband in the stacked room, and secretly praised: What a loving and intentional champion wife. Finally, he said: "There is still a section on this matter, don't use the name Cao Menglan, according to our Jinmen rules, women who enter the industry will have a flower name, not this number." Mrs. Zhuangyuan can use it, but don't play Cao Menglan's brand, otherwise it will be a big trouble if someone from the Hong family comes to the door. ”

"I know, I've already thought of a nickname, but it's useless." Cao Menglan nodded, "My flower name is called: Sai Jinhua." ”

When Zhao Guanhou heard the word Sai Jinhua, he always felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he simply didn't think about it, and just said

"I don't think those antiques are too expensive. It's better to rent a few cheap antiques and come back to support the field. If it doesn't work, go to the stall and buy some fakes. Among those foreigners, there is no one in ten who really understands the advantages and disadvantages of antiques, and most of the Prussian soldiers are laymen, so they don't need to pay attention. It's important to get that diamond ring back, it's much easier to use than an antique. Remember, put the photo with Emperor Pu in the center, and Bao Zhun first made Bassens respectful. ”

Cao Menglan nodded her head one by one, seeing that he was about to say goodbye, but she held his hand again, and then she understood that Zhao Guanhou probably didn't want to have any entanglement with her. But she liked this handsome young man by nature, and when she saw his outstanding appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, and asked with a smile: "It's still early, Nong's wife, she doesn't have such a big appetite, right?" Do you want to test my skills first? ”

"Teaching skills?" The corners of Zhao Guanhou's mouth turned up slightly, "This also makes it, I think the place here is also suitable, I'll see how Sister A's dance goes." As he spoke, he first bent down, then grabbed Cao Menglan's hand with one hand, and supported her waist with the other.

Cao Menglan only thought that he was about to pounce on him the next moment, and posted it obediently, but heard Zhao Guanhou say: "Ballroom queen, you don't always dance like this, right?" Come, put your hand on my shoulder, yes, that's it...... Now, I'll hum the rhythm ......"

Although there is no musical accompaniment, the dance steps of both are extremely skillful, and the cooperation is flawless. After the dance, Cao Menglan sat on the chair with a red face, "Nong...... Nong's dancing is awesome, I can't believe it, Nong is a student of the Martial Arts Academy, I don't know, I think Nong is a diplomat. Sister Ah is not a foreign plate, I can understand what Nong means, Nong wants to borrow the big tree of foreigners to make a fortune. Sister A is not an ungrateful person, as long as she can make friends with Bassens, Sister A will definitely speak for Nong and protect Nong's future. By the way, isn't Nong in a hurry to go home to see his wife? I've got good stuff for Nong here. ”

saw Cao Menglan rummaging through the dresser for a while, took out a well-packaged gift box, and handed it to Zhao Guanhou, "This is Capet perfume, or is it a gift from a prince of Prussia." I have been useless, Nong took it back to his wife to keep her happy. It can be regarded as my gratitude, no matter whether this thing is successful or not, it finally saved me once, and I can't help but express it. ”

Zhao Guanhou did not refuse, generously took the gift box, picked up his own things and said goodbye. This matter has not yet been implemented, and what we talk about now is a castle in the air. Although Cao Menglan is frivolous and vain, she is definitely not stupid, and she will not take risks to offend herself and do things that are not beneficial. She should understand that the union of the two is the most beneficial to the other party, and she should be able to understand this truth.

As for what happened to this woman, he didn't have a habit of cleanliness in this area, he just felt that it was unnecessary, and besides, after being separated from Su Hanzhi for a few days, what he wanted to do most now was to rush home. Other women are not in his consideration.

As soon as the person left, the servant woman walked in and reminded Cao Menglan, "Miss, this man is unreliable or not, don't be like in Songjiang, he is a deflated liar who is full of words and can't actually do anything." ”

"What do you understand? I can tell that this man is a man who can achieve great things. Cao Menglan waved her hand casually, chasing this woman like a fly. Nong's measure is that he can only be a servant for the rest of his life, and my vision is very accurate, this is a nobleman. Maybe with his connections, I can still enter Beijing. In the future, don't say in front of me that he's not, get out. ”

The woman knew that Cao Menglan had a big temper and didn't dare to talk much, so she had to withdraw according to her words, but she whispered to the messenger, "In Songjiang, 20,000 silver was cheated by someone, and now she is still raising a little white face, and sooner or later she will be deceived and her personal wealth will be empty." What if he has the ability, what does it have to do with her? Still in Beijing? When she entered Beijing, she also made a living from this, I don't believe it, can she still live in the Forbidden City? ”
