Chapter Eighty-One: Begin the Layout
A stunning woman entered the city with a snow-white rabbit, and the city was boiling in an instant.
The woman is like a shock, graceful like a swimming dragon, she is full of luxury, like a lotus flower standing gracefully on the snow-capped mountain, independent of the world, fluttering like a fairy.
This city used to be called Cinnabar City, which was specially built for the queen's mother. Since the death of the queen, this city has been called by name, and the name is Weiyang City.
Weiyang City is the most prosperous city in Ao except for the capital, where there are merchants from various countries, countless treasures, and several purple gold mines. The former monarch of Ao gave this city to the queen's mother, which shows his good intentions and his husband and wife. However, the reality is always so cruel, the beauty Xiang Xiaoyu died in just three years, and the monarch of Ao Guo became like two people, first killing one hundred and eight people from the prime minister on trumped-up charges of sending out the army, planting false accusations, and then abolishing the original son of the queen, the prince, and sending him to Liang to be a proton!
These were some of the news that Lan Yao had learned since she settled down, and she stroked the teacup made of ceramic with her fingertips, and thoughtfully buttoned the crumbling wooden table. This is a remote teahouse in Weiyang City, the original owner due to poor management, coupled with a bad location, this teahouse is almost in a state of withering. And Lan Yao appeared at this moment and bought the place at a reasonable price.
She needs a stronghold, whether it is in the country of Feng, Ao, or Liang, to have a foothold that belongs to her so that she can ensure that she can keep abreast of the dynamics of several countries at any time. She calculated the time, it was only half a year before the exchange between the sects, and as the head of the Xuanyuan faction, she had to go back and sit in person, and she couldn't let the Xuanyuan faction created by her master become a laughing stock between the sects.
"I'm going to open a Smoke and Rain Beauty Pavilion here." Lan Yao's words were said to the rabbit on his shoulder, Hua Baisui seemed to be addicted to being a rabbit, and he still didn't want to turn into a human form even though there was no one else around.
"Yes." Hua Baisui has no objection, after all, opening a smoke and rain beauty pavilion here, he can live a life without worrying about food and clothing, why not?
"You're in charge of the chef." Lan Yao's dark eyes were cool and melodious, and her faint expression made people wonder her mood.
"No problem." Hua Baisui stretched out his small palm and gently climbed up Lan Yao's skin, the skin was like condensation, and the touch was excellent.
"Remember, like Feng Qing, we have to taste every dish to ensure our quality." When the words fell, the corners of Lan Yao's lips hooked up a vague smile, which was her real purpose. Feng Qing left, she was still annoyed with him.
“······” Hua Baisui knew that even if he refused, there was nothing he could do, he lowered his head and sniffed the smell between Lan Yao's neck, which was very comfortable and made people can't help but indulge in it. So he tentatively stretched out the pink cottage and licked it, it was sweet.
"Flower 100 years old." Lan Yao grabbed Hua Bai's ears with one hand and lifted the small rabbit in front of him. The rabbit's eyes were wet and pitiful, and the little mouth trembled slightly, as if telling of grievances.
Lan Yao's eyes softened a little, and he put him on the table.
The moment Hua Baisui lowered his head, a strange smile crossed the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, there are such benefits to becoming a cute thing, and he is very glad that he has turned into a white rabbit instead of a fierce beast.
"Shang, come out." Lan Yao summoned "Shang" from the Seventy-Two Monarchs, and she carefully studied it to find that there was a small row of characters written in beige on the scroll, which clearly indicated the skills possessed by each scroll.
And Shang is a man who is proficient in abacus and business.
With Lan Yao's call, Shang walked out of the picture scroll, he exuded an air of elegance all over his body, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with the smell of copper.
His face is slightly pointed, his nose is slightly upturned, his lips are slightly white, and his body is slightly weak. His thin waist is full of hands, and a pair of cut eyes are like a hundred flowers blooming in March, gorgeous and dazzling, and the whole is a boy and a girl!
Lan Yao'er, she took out a delicate skirt from the ring and placed it in front of Shang, "Are you willing to change into women's clothes?" ”
"Shang, willing." Shang took the skirt gently, twisted his thin waist and went to the wing room to change clothes, he was not informal, and women's clothes were not a shame for him.
Lan Yao looked at the back of Shang leaving with satisfaction, and it was really easy for obedient people to use it.
And Hua Baisui had already taken advantage of Lan Yao's inattention and returned to her shoulders.
"Lan Gongzi, it's okay." Shang came out of the side room, like a beautiful Jiangnan woman, his eyes were warm, wearing a white jade hairpin on his head to coil up the green silk, the hairpin was inlaid with full pearls, and there were a few strands of black hair floating on his forehead. A water-blue dress is very in line with his temperament, and a pair of blue mandarin duck embroidered shoes are exposed on the skirt, and his little face is even brighter under the gorgeous clothes.
"Let's get started." Lan Yao smiled, she was glad that she had so many good assistants who were handy.
She opened the Jiangnan Smoke and Rain Pavilion, on the one hand, the land of fireworks is the place where the sources of information are most circulated, on the other hand, she promised Feng Qing to open it here, if Feng Qing returns to see that there is a Smoke and Rain Beauty Pavilion here, I am afraid that it will be happy to bloom.
The world-famous Yanyu Beauty Pavilion opened a branch in the land of Aoguo, and in just one month, it turned the originally withered remote place into the most prosperous area of Weiyang City.
After all, this Smoke and Rain Beauty Pavilion is known to everyone in the Wind Country, and no one knows it, how many politicians and heroes come to visit, and they are satisfied, and the signboard of this Smoke and Rain Beauty Pavilion is played loudly. So this time, Lan Yao did not buy a shop in the most prosperous place, and used the least amount of money to maximize the benefits, which is the way to do business.
Aoguo's Jiangnan Yanyu Pavilion adapted measures to local conditions, and directly cut off the project of prostitution, and only operated women.
"Young Master Lan, I have checked all the accounts of this month, including the accounts of the Wind Country, and I have done it very carefully, and there is no mistake in the figures." Shang flipped through the accounts, circled each stroke very carefully, and gave Lan Yao a look.
Lan Yao didn't raise his hand to touch the account, just listened to Shang Xi's words, Yingying's smile was overflowing, "Very good." ”
She only made a lot of money in just one year, and she was very happy to have such results, which was not enough to support an elite army.
She now has to hoard a mysterious army of her own, so that she can rely on it in the future if she has to go to war. She didn't naively think that she could help Liang unify the world without bloodshed, not to mention the other two countries that were equal to its strength, but other large and small countries, if they didn't want to be oppressed, it would be a headache to resist.
"Shang, during this time, you look around to see what other projects are profitable." Lan Yao pushed the ledger in front of Shang, she believed in his strength and would definitely live up to his trust.
"Okay, I'll go." Shang is as moist as fat, and leaves the wing room step by step.
Lan Yao is not worried about the danger of the Chamber of Commerce, he is a painting and has his own way of escape.
"The four of them have been in the palace for more than a month, and it is time for us to go." Lan Yao saw that the matter here was almost dealt with, and he was about to start fulfilling his promise.
"Okay." Hua Baisui snuggled up to Lan Yao's fragrant shoulders, and he slept with her every night in the past few days, because he looked like a snow-white rabbit, and Lan Yao didn't guard against him at all. How did she know that every time he took advantage of her sleep, he turned into a human form and embraced the beauty into his arms, he liked this feeling, his heart that had been empty for thousands of years seemed to be filled.
Lan Yao ordered Shang to prepare a carriage and go all the way north to the capital.
She lay on the soft collapse of the carriage, which was spacious and luxurious than ordinary carriages, with incense burners, soft collapses, and tables. In the drawers below the table, the first compartment contains some snacks and pastries, the second compartment holds various fragrant teas, and the third compartment contains a few books. Shang Dang is really meticulous, so careful and very well arranged, no wonder he has such a talent in business.
Hua Baisui lay on her abdomen very obediently, feeling the temperature coming from her body. He was fascinated and infatuated, and he liked the feeling of peace of mind.
It takes about seven days to drive from Weiyang City to the capital. She has the right to play and relax, and is not in a hurry to rush to the Beitong Palace, during this time she is tired non-stop, and she sleeps heavily when she meets the bed, and she needs to cultivate well.
No, Lan Yao led the coachman up the mountain according to her will, just because she thought the sunrise was thrilling, and she had always loved the sun.
The horseman is driving this simple appearance of the carriage, and gradually embarked on the winding mountain road, the green mud He Panpan, a hundred steps and nine folds lingering rocks, even the peaks go to the sky is not full of feet, and the dry pines are hanging upside down against the cliff! The bump in the carriage, Lan Yao got up and started to practice without much care.
Since she came out of the mausoleum and captured the Seventy-Two Monarchs, she found that her spiritual power was even more abundant, and there was a faint intention of breaking through! Lan Yao is only a teenager in his teens, and he has reached the Yuanying realm at a young age, and he is afraid that it is rare in the entire immortal cultivation world. And she is very low-key, so even if she gets the position of the head of the family, people who are weaker than her will not be able to detect her true cultivation.
She was sitting cross-legged on the couch at the moment, and no matter how the carriage was bumpy, her body remained motionless as if she were a monk. Only the wisps of red hair fluttered in the air with the bumps.
Hua Baisui saw that Lan Yao's body was glowing, and the whole person actually looked like the immortals of the heavenly realm! His eyes flashed, and he stretched out his claws, and a seed-sized white particle appeared in his fleshy little palm, and he fused the seed into her body with mana without moving. Then, satisfied, he put down his paws, squinted his eyes, and hummed softly, looking very leisurely.
After Lan Yao finished cultivating, he lifted the curtain, but found that he had not yet reached the mountain.
"Why is it so slow?" Lan Xiao stared down at Hua Baisui in bewilderment, after all, she couldn't hear the outside world at all when she was cultivating.
"Didn't you notice that the coachman was being controlled?" Hua Baisui smiled brightly, his pink lips opened slightly, and a pair of watery amber-like eyes narrowed into a slit.
She and Hua Baisui glanced at each other and understood what they meant in each other's eyes. Don't move, improvised, the two of them want to see who is so bold!
