Chapter 25: The Way to Make Money
Because the New Year is approaching, except for Bai Feiye, who does not see anyone all day long, the entire Jingwang Mansion is also preparing for the New Year. The palace was busy, but Ling Ling had nothing to do all day long, so he had to practice his words every day and go to his grandmother to chat.
After getting Bai Feiye's permission, Qingliu agreed to take Ling Ling to the street, which made Ling Ling, who had been moldy for more than a month, see the light of day, and she could finally start preparing for the thing she wanted.
When Qingliu came, he also prepared a men's caftan for her.
His reason is that Night City is not safe, and the prince confessed!
Ling Ling is quite interested in women dressing up as men, after all, there were often such plot settings when she was in the crew before, and it was rare that she had the opportunity to play a man here, and the opportunity to show her acting skills was not very common!
Qingliu stood under the peach blossom tree as usual, waiting for Ling Ling and Jinrong.
The door of the Xue Ning Pavilion was pushed open, and Qing Liu raised his eyes to see a slender figure walking out of it, the yellow robe and caftan were close to the body, the belt embroidered with gold thread was tied around the waist, it looked tall and tall, the jade crown was tied with three thousand green silks, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, between the small and delicate nose bridge and the naturally raised lips, there were two funny mustaches.
I saw the man with a folding fan in his hand, one hand behind his back, and walking towards him in a graceful manner.
And behind the man, there was also a green robe and a long shirt, with his hair tied up, a little awkward...... Jinrong!
Qingliu's jaw is about to fall to the ground! He really didn't expect that wouldn't all girls dressed as men be normal like Jinrong? Even if it is more natural, it will not be like Miss Xiahou...... If he hadn't known that person was Miss Xiahou, he probably only thought that this was the little boy from which family!
Ling Ling raised her eyebrows and walked in front of Qing Liu, opened the folding fan suddenly, shook the fan handsomely, and saw Qing Liu's reaction, her eyebrows were full of pride.
It was past the cold season, although the clothes on her body were very warm, but her delicate face was still a little unbearable to the wind of the fan.
It's only three seconds to be handsome!
Ling Ling pretended to be calm and put away the fan, pinned it to his waist, and walked out of the bamboo garden with his hands behind his back.
Qingliu behind him looked at Jinrong, who was a little uncomfortable, with a mocking expression, Jinrong glanced at Qingliu and quickly followed.
This time on the street, she didn't run around like the previous two times, but went directly in one direction - Huo Yun's shop.
On this day, Huo Yun happened to return to Night City from Jiangnan, and when he was instructing the clerk on the first floor to put his newly made batch of masks on the shelves, three teenagers came to the store.
Huo Yun looked at the door, the yellow-shirted young man walking in front of him had clear eyebrows and a good demeanor, but the two mustaches on his mouth seemed a little funny, Huo Yun subconsciously touched his beard, feeling that he was a little familiar.
And followed by a tall, upright and heroic blue-robed young man, handsome and delicate, with a hint of immaturity between his eyebrows, Huo Yun always felt that he had seen him somewhere. Next to the blue-robed young man was a woman in a green shirt who knew at a glance that she was a woman dressed as a man, this woman, Huo Yun recognized! Isn't she Ling Ling's maid?
Huo Yun turned his eyes to look at the yellow-shirted young man, his deep eyes glowing, "You are ......"
"Boss Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ling Ling immediately took Huo Yun's words, after all, neither Jinrong nor Qingliu knew about the matter between her and Huo Yun, every time Jinrong sent the drawings, they were also sealed and wrapped by Ling Ling in advance, Jinrong only knew that their young lady would let her run the mask shop once in a while and send a package of things, she didn't think about it, she just had to do what the young lady ordered.
What's more, if Huo Yun called her Ling Ling in front of them, then she really didn't know how to explain it!
"I came here today to talk to Boss Huo about family life, I wonder if Boss Huo is free now?"
Ling Ling gave Huo Yun a look, Huo Yun immediately understood, his carved lips under the mustache hooked, and said with a smile,
"The little boy wants to chat with Huo, how can Huo not agree, and ask the little boy to go up to the second floor with Huo."
With that, Huo Yun turned around with his back and walked towards the stairs.
Ling Ling gave Jinrong and Qingliu a look of "You are waiting for me here" and moved to follow.
"I came here today, just because the New Year is approaching, and I want to see how much money I have saved with Boss Huo."
Ling Ling sat cross-legged at the tea table, looking like a handsome boy.
"Miss Ling's account." Huo Yun took out an account book and put it in front of Ling Ling.
She raised her hand to look through her account book, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"If Miss Ling continues to cooperate with Huo, she will make more money than that." Seeing the surprised expression on Ling Ling's face, Huo Yun smiled with satisfaction.
The account book is densely marked with the quantity and price of each style sold, including Ling Ling's dividends, which is clear and clear.
And what surprised her was that the amount of her dividends was more than 100,000 taels of silver.
"Dare to ask Boss Huo, how did you do it?" She always thought that it was a good idea to be able to earn a few thousand taels, but she didn't expect that in just a few months, there would be so many.
Huo Yun smiled faintly, "It's just that some branches on the Mingyan Continent are also selling." ”
Ling Ling gasped, it turned out that the handsome old man with the mustache was a business tycoon! She collected her emotions.
"With such a simple way to make money, I naturally want to cooperate with Boss Huo for a long time. I came here today, firstly, I wanted to count my income, and secondly, I wanted to ask Boss Huo to raise some silver. ”
Huo Yunjian raised his eyebrows lightly and quipped, "Miss Ling, is this Huo a money bank?" ”
"The transaction between me and Boss Huo is private, and the money bank is troublesome and dangerous for me, and I hope Boss Huo will forgive me, I just hope that everything will be simple."
"That's it, since you can trust Huo, this little thing is not enough to worry about." Huo Yun took out a sachet from a brocade box, "There are a hundred taels of silver here, I don't know if Miss Ling has enough." ”
"Thank you, Boss Huo, that's enough." Ling Ling took the heavy sachet.
"Since we are business partners, Huo has a question, I wonder if Miss Ling can answer one or two questions for Huo?"
Huo Yun smiled, his deep eyes looking at Ling Ling with an inquiring expression.
"Boss Huo, please speak, I will tell you if I can answer."
"The girl is from King Jing's mansion?"
After Ling Ling left that day, he ordered Glory to check for a long time, but he didn't find out who Ling Ling was. Until Jinrong came to deliver the painting, Glory followed Jinrong to the door of King Jing's Mansion.
Although Huo Yun is a member of the White Seal Kingdom, his influence has spread throughout the entire Mingyan Continent, and the reason why he can do business all over the continent is also because he only has business matters and never cooperates with the royal family. The money he earned also belonged to him personally, which made other small countries feel at ease to let him do business on his own territory.
"I can only tell Boss Huo that the cooperation with Boss Huo is purely my personal will. I don't know if Boss Huo still remembers, what I said to Boss Huo at the beginning, God knows, you know me? ”
Huo Yun smiled and accepted her answer.
"It's just that I have limited time today, so I can't talk to Boss Huo more. In the future, I will find another opportunity to discuss with Boss Huo. During this time, I will regularly provide some drawings of the mask. ”
Ling Ling got up and put his hand behind his back, remembered something, and said,
"I don't know if Boss Huo knows, is there a place to sell that kind of thing in this night city?"
Huo Yun looked at Ling Ling in confusion, Ling Ling leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.
"That kind of thing, you don't have in Night City."
Although she had thought that the odds were low, Ling Ling was still a little disappointed.
"But I have it here."
The corners of Huo Yun's mouth hooked, and his eyes were full of confidence.
Her eyes lit up and she smiled lightly, "Then thank you Boss Huo." ”
Ling Ling put the thing close to him, said goodbye to Huo Yun casually, took Jinrong and Qingliu to wander around for a while, and then returned to the palace.
Her mood was a little complicated, she was thinking, if she asked Bai Feiye, would he help her? It would be better if I helped her; If you can't help her......
Then this is her last plan.
