Chapter 81: Oiran
Du Yanlin had never seen Du Baozhu look so serious, so he couldn't help but tease her: "Jiaojiaoer, can't you even believe your second uncle?" β
"I can trust the second uncle," Du Baozhu was not amused by him at all, and his white porcelain-like face was still tight: "But I can't trust the second uncle's godsister." β
"This ......" Du Yanlin called Liu's 'godsister' to hide people's eyes, so when Du Baozhu mentioned the word 'godsister', he was inexplicably a little weak-hearted. The eyes turned left and right, but they didn't dare to look at Du Baozhu: "Don't worry, she promises not to say it." β
"Really?" Du Baozhu looked at Du Yanlin, his round eyes were like two stars, bright and clear.
Du Yanlin was trembling by her legs, but he still admitted: "Really." β
"Okay then." Only then did Du Baozhu hook his fingers and motioned for Du Yanlin to come over with his ear: "I'll tell the second uncle to listen alone." β
Du Baozhu said this, Du Yanlin silently wrote it down in his heart, feeling that he could make a deal when he went back, so he smiled and took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve: "Our Jiaojiao is smart, I will definitely not be able to think of these ideas." Oh, when I visited the West Market Gold Store yesterday, I saw this pearl hairpin at a glance and felt that it was suitable for you, so take it and play with it. β
If Du Baozhu was still a little guilty about receiving Zhou's gift, then she would have no burden at all when she put away Du Yanlin's gift. Anyway, if she doesn't accept this hairpin, she will be used by the second uncle to curry favor with the Liu family, so it is better to accept it and exchange it for silver, so that the second uncle has made some contributions to the Du family's escape cause.
She handed the box containing the pearl hairpin to Wen Xi, and reminded Du Yanlin solemnly again: "Second uncle, this matter involves my million-dollar transaction, I didn't even tell Ye Niang, I only told you alone, you must keep it secret for me." β
Zhou has not deducted Du Yanlin in money, and his monthly pocket money is hundreds of thousands. The million money that Du Baozhu said sounded to him was just two months of pocket money, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Look at Du Baozhu's seriousness, he is still laughing in his heart: Jiaojiaoer has been in business since she started, and her little family is a lot more angry, and she is becoming more and more like the tigress in his family.
Speaking of the tigress, Du Yanlin couldn't help but shake his head, leaving the spicy and worldly woman behind, before patting his chest with a smile and reassuring: "I know, little boss, you can rest assured." β
He coaxed Du Baozhu in a few words, and then floated towards the Liuji wine shop with light steps. Du Baozhu watched his figure disappear into the alley with a cold eye, and then he whispered to Lu Ming: "You pay more attention these days, and if there is any bad wind direction in the market, notify me immediately." β
Lu Ming felt that the task on his shoulders was heavy, so he quickly straightened his waist and nodded yes.
Only then did Du Baozhu lift up her skirt and climb into the carriage: "You come and drive, go to Pingkangfang." β
Lu Ming had been training in the mountains before following Du Baozhu and had never been to the capital. The last time he went to pick up Du Baozhu with Shopkeeper He, he knew for the first time what the constant sound of silk and bamboo in Pingkang Fang was.
At this time, when he heard that Du Baozhu was going again, his straight waist immediately collapsed, and his face was swollen and red: "Little lady, isn't Pingkangfang...... Place? You...... Can't go. β
"Why can't you go?" Du Baozhu glanced at him with a smile: "I'm going to talk about business seriously, where do you think of it?" β
"I ......" Lu Ming was asked by Du Baozhu, and suddenly felt that his heart was too dirty, and he was not worthy of talking to the little lady who was Bingqing Yujie. I had no choice but to jump into the carriage and pick up the horsewhip and whip it off.
The horses of Du Fu were well trained, and when they heard the sound of the whip breaking through the air, they obediently opened their hooves and walked forward.
Pingkangfang and Jinggongfang are just two diagonal sides of the East Market, and they arrived less than half an hour after turning the avenue. According to Du Baozhu's instructions, Lu Ming parked the carriage by the side door where he had come last time, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was not yet noon, and the house was very quiet. Lu Ming knocked for a while, and then a mother-in-law came to answer the door with a scolding: "Who are you looking for?" β
Wen Xi hurriedly handed over the name card printed with Du's pattern: "Trouble Mama to pass a word for us, just say that Du Xiaoniang of Du's firm has something to discuss." β
The woman was a rough servant who was illiterate. However, she looked familiar with the big pattern, so she took the letter suspiciously: "Then you wait, I'll ask the." β
As he spoke, he slammed the small door in front of Lu Ming and Wenxi, if Lu Ming hadn't pulled Wen Xi to dodge, he was afraid that his nose would be smashed flat.
After a long while, the woman returned the name post: "Xu Niang, please come in and talk." β
The in the mother-in-law's mouth is the fake mother that Du Baozhu saw last time.
She had just been woken up from the bed by her mother-in-law, wearing only a women's skirt, and her arms and breasts were slightly blocked by a shawl, revealing a large piece of spring light with a slight movement. Seeing Du Baozhu coming in, he 'giggled' and said, "Why did the little lady remember me here?" But are you ready for an Oiran contest? β
She is only in her early forties this year, well-maintained, and has a graceful demeanor, and she has a more mature charm than a girl.
Seeing such a cool scenery, Du Baozhu was not timid at all, and said with a smile: "It's not time for the Oiran Contest yet, but I came today, and I do have a good deal that I want to cooperate with you." β
"Oh? What to buy and sell? "are interested.
Du Baozhu smiled and said nothing, and when Wen Xi pulled the mother-in-law who led the way out, he said slowly: "I want to hire the most popular girl in your mansion to do one thing." β
"You're not small." 's eyes were fluttering, and she was full of amorous feelings: "Do you know how much silver my most popular daughter costs for a ride?" β
"How much?"
"Twenty taels of silver, double the lamps and candles, and double when you see new guests, how much do you calculate?"
Du Baozhu smiled and nodded: "It's really a lot, it's really the Oiran lady who is famous in Chang'an, I didn't find the wrong person." β
Who doesn't like to listen to flattery, listened to Du Baozhu praise her adopted daughter as an Oiran, the smile on her face became a little thicker, and she said with a smile: "So, my red girl is not so easy to move." I've recently taken in a couple of new daughters and I'm raising them in the backyard. If you want to find someone to do something, you might as well pick from them, and I'll give you a bargain. β
I don't know if it's Du Baozhu's illusion, she always feels that Xu Niangzi is very enthusiastic about her this time. Before she could answer, the had already clapped her hands and asked her new daughters to be called.
Du Baozhu didn't care about it, and hurriedly held the person down: "Mother Xu, what I want is the most popular girl, I don't need to look at others." β
Seeing her insistence, the gave up: "Okay, what do you want my daughter to do?" Let's talk about it first, the price of this escort is indispensable. β
"Don't worry, I don't need her to accompany me." Du Baozhu said: "I just want her to mention the clichΓ© I prepared every time she is entertaining." As long as you can do what I ask, 50,000 yuan a month, and pay on a monthly basis. β
"Don't need a chaperone? You can get money just by talking? The didn't believe that pies could fall from the sky, and there was a vigilant look in her phoenix eyes: "I'm not interested in talking about state affairs here!" β
"Don't worry, it's all everyday words, and it won't cause you and the girls trouble." Du Baozhu took out the terms prepared last night: "The specific requirements are all here, you can take a look at it first, and if you think it is appropriate, let's talk about it in detail." β
The took the thin paper and took a closer look, it had already restricted the content of the speech, and there was really no dangerous content, just ask the girl to mention jewelry and dresses and other things.
Nowadays, the world is difficult, and even the most popular girl in Pingkang Fang may not have business every day. 50,000 yuan, which can be worth ten times for the female escort of a small family, and the conditions are so relaxed, it is almost a business without capital.
Xu Niangzi thought about it and felt that this business could be done, so she pretended to hesitate for a while and asked, "I remember that you had a lawsuit with Wang Debao of Changle Wine Shop last month?" β
Du Baozhu used the contract to trap Wang Debao, Wang Debao was unwilling to suffer this loss, and scolded Du Baozhu for being a profiteer. are doing business to usher in, and naturally they have heard about it. Therefore, although he was moved, he was still very cautious, for fear that he would become the second king Debao.
When she asked about this, Du Baozhu was not flustered at all, and explained frankly: "There was indeed a lawsuit, and in the end, Jing Zhaoyin sentenced the shopkeeper Wang to breach the contract. β
"Heh, there's no one here, we might as well tell the truth." Xu Niangzi blinked and said with a smile: "Then Liu Zhongfang is a corrupt official who does things when he receives money, and he can't do a lot of cases." What's going on with your dispute with Wang Debao? β
"I can't hide anything from you."
Du Baozhu smiled helplessly: "I said to the shopkeeper Wang that it was good to use Yufuliang as a gimmick to promote the coupon shop, but who knew that he temporarily regretted it when he saw that he made too little money." I smashed a lot of money in it, how could I withstand him so much, so I went to the official office to sue him. The contract between me and him is still in the official office, if you can't believe me, you can go to the official office to retrieve the contract and take a look at it, and make a distinction for yourself. β
"I see." They are all businessmen, and they speak according to interests. didn't feel pitiful for Wang Debao, they just made a show of him. After looking for Du Baozhu to come to the contract and reading it carefully, and after making sure that there were no loopholes, she signed her name with a big stroke of the pen: "I don't care what others say, I can trust you anyway." β
After signing, she called out her most popular girl now: "This is my daughter, called 'Brother Yong'." β
The female branch of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was an official or a private woman, did not judge their value by their appearance, but paid more attention to intelligence, conversation and skills.
Brother Yong is about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and tall, but his eyebrows are only delicate. At this time, she didn't wear makeup, and she didn't look like a female branch girl who accompanied the guests, but like a female student studying in the academy.
After she signed her name behind the, this contract was officially effective when she got a copy of it with the official office.
Only then did Du Baozhu attach to Yongge's ear and say this first task.
