Chapter 47: The Gambling Contract (Red Envelope Flying)

For a while, I was also shocked in my heart, I remember that day the Oiran Saihe Lianyunnuma always looked at me frequently, isn't it, when I sent a message to Li Jiu, what did he see?

"Childe!" Momiji was very anxious, "Childe, Momiji's identity is special, if there is anything wrong with the interrogation, but how is it good!" ”

Although I was also anxious, my face was very indifferent, and I said, "You tell me carefully, what's going on?" ”

This Helian Yunnuma has always been famous, this person has always loved the flute, if he called, he should also call the green-shirted girl who played the flute that day, how did he find the red leaves?

Momiji said, "Childe, since that day when Momiji took the Oiran, there have been people who come to chant the Red Mansion every day, and the daughter has cast a song for Momiji."

Momiji has been listening to Childe's words, and no matter who offers anything, he only sings one song. But who knows, one day my mother came over in a hurry, saying that this person was a big figure in the court, and asked me to sing a song, saying that if I didn't sing, she wouldn't want to open the Red Mansion.

Red...... Hongye couldn't stand his mother's complaints, so he sang a song alone for the fat official in the private room. The man was very happy when he heard this, and said that the day after tomorrow he would announce that I would enter the house and sing a song. Hongye only said it casually, and didn't care, who knew that this morning the official sent a small servant to spread the news, saying that it was the birthday of the eighth king, and asked Hongye to go to the palace to sing. ”

"Fat official?" Helian Yunnuma is tall, moderately fat and thin, how can it be called fat? "Tell me a rough picture of what that man looks like?"

Momiji nodded and said, "That man is fatter, with a fat head and big ears, and a small mole at the corner of his mouth." ”

After listening to her, I was also relieved, this person was not Helian Yunnuma.

I think I'm too careful, he was standing in front that day, he shouldn't have seen something so coincidentally.

On the prince's birthday, there are many people waiting to fight the autumn wind, and the Oiran singing hall has its own romance, this person regularly wants to find Momiji to please Helian Yunnuma in the past, Momiji is worried, and naturally thinks that the eighth prince knows her identity and uses the excuse to interrogate.

I comforted me in a low voice, "Listening to you say this, going to the singing hall is not in the way, you can just go over, and remember not to be too showy, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Momiji is still a little apprehensive, "But if someone asks where Momiji comes from, where does the family live, what should I do?" ”

I said lightly, "Don't worry, tomorrow on the birthday of the Eighth Prince, you will dress a little more gaudy, and your makeup must be heavy, and you will leave immediately after singing, so naturally no one will ask you." However, when someone asks, you say that you are drifting, and you don't want to talk about your life experience in detail, so no one should ask too much. ”

Momiji pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Momiji is all at the behest of the child." ”

When I asked what happened, I was relieved, sat down and said, "What I asked you about last time, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Momiji nodded and said, "Hui Gongzi, Momiji has recently attracted a few sisters, plus he has paid attention to it secretly, and it is clear that there is no backstage in this Yin Red Mansion." Sister Lan is the real boss in this building.

Hongye also inquired that Sister Lan was originally a rich woman, because she fell in love with her lover by mistake and came to Xiqi, and later the lover abandoned her and married another lady, Sister Lan was disheartened and opened this red hall.

In the past few years, the business here has been good, and the store has been expanded, and the red hall has opened more in recent years, and the business has gradually become bad, if it is not for me to suddenly win the oiran, plus with the peony, the business is afraid that it will not be able to do for long. ”

So much better.

I thought that this red hall would have a backstage, but since there is none, everything is much more convenient.

"Childe......" Momiji said softly, "Childe, now that Momiji has become an Oiran, what do you need to do next?" ”

I smiled slightly, you don't have to do anything for the time being, just continue to sing only one song every day. What needs to be done, I'll let you know.

"Yes." Momiji answered, and I went out, looking for a little guy to guide the way, and went directly to Sister Lan.

"Ouch, isn't this my little son, you won't be able to come for a long time, my sister tadpole will miss you."

A smell of rouge and vulgar powder rushed over, I quietly took a half step back, and smiled, "Sister Hong, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much, why don't you accompany me to the private room for a cup of tea, I don't know what Sister Lan thinks?" ”

Sister Lan giggled and said, "Oh, my little son, you are tormenting my sister, there are many beautiful and talented girls here, there are those who can drink, those who can dance, and even more who can recite poems and do the right thing, why did the little boy find his sister for tea." It's better to be like this, my sister let the newcomer mellow and sing a flower drum play for the son, what do you think? ”

I nodded, "Naturally, I want to listen to the flower drum play, but I'm thirsty today, so I want my sister to have a cup of tea with me, how about it?" ”

Sister Lan gradually smiled, hugged her shoulders and looked at me around, but in the end she still laughed, "Cheng Chengcheng, since the son looks at Sister Lan like this, then the sister will make a pot of tea, and talk about family life with you, little boy~"

"Chun Tao, come forward and say hello, I'll be back soon." She commanded, and then twisted around and led me around a few corners to a small hall.

She beckoned me to sit down first, then went to the bookshelf, looked for a tea cake with warm water, hot tea and hot water to make tea, handed the tea soup to me and said, "It's better to know tea art like the girl in the courtyard, and the little boy should not be surprised." ”

I took the tea fruit, smelled it gently, took a sip, and tasted it for a while before saying, "The mellow soup is really the best aged Pu'er." ”

Sister Lan smiled slightly, and instead sat on the chair at the other end of the table, "Little boy, you don't have to sell Guanzi, it's a big teahouse when you go out and walk right, if Gongzi just wants to drink tea, he naturally goes to the teahouse, how can he come to my Yinhong Mansion?" My Sister Lan has been mixed for so many years, and I can still see this in my eyes. Tell me, what the hell is going on. ”

I smiled slightly, "Sister Lan is really temperamental, she speaks straightforwardly, very good, since Sister Lan is refreshing, I won't spare the bend, in a word, I want to enter the Red Mansion." ”

"What!" Sister Lan's face twisted suddenly, "Into the Red Mansion?" Little boy, sister, I heard you right. ”

I put the bowl down and smiled silently.

She looked at me for a while, and said, "Little boy, I won't tell you, two months ago, my sister really had the intention to go out of the Yinhong real estate, buy a small house by herself near the mountains and rivers, and live a few days like a fairy."

But now it's different from the past, today's Yin Red Mansion, not only has an oiran, but also peonies, this day by day, a lot of silver flows in like water, who still has the heart to live a clean life? So, Sister Lan, I'm going to expand the store next year, and when it comes to buying shares, the little boy should find another high. ”

I smiled, picked up the jade ornament on the table, and gently fiddled with it, "Today is indeed different from the past, but if one day, you, the Oiran of the Red Mansion, are ransomed, and the peony also finds another good place, what about Sister Lan?" ”

Her face was slightly wrong, "Little boy, what does this mean?" ”

I put the ornament back in its place and said with a light smile, "Just a reminder to Sister Lan, if I'm not mistaken, there was a red card here before, but there is no 100-day red, and the red card has been sitting for a long time, so I naturally want to go to the days of washing my hands and making soup." If one day, the current Oiran of Yin Honglou is not there, and Sister Lan's condition is not good. ”

Sister Lan didn't say anything, just squinted at me.

I took a sip of Pu'er, tasted it for a while, and threw out a heavy move, "If I can hold one oiran, I can hold a second one." Why didn't Sister Lan consider letting me take a stake, and from now on, she would wait for the silver to go into her pocket without worry? ”

"You!" Sister Lan stood up suddenly, as if she was a little angry.

However, she has been in the Red Pavilion for so long, and her mind is naturally transparent, and she will naturally figure it out after thinking about things before and after.

She smiled, and then sat back again, "Sister Ransom Lan, I am clumsy, I don't know the real hero, I can't imagine that the little boy is so young, he is such a means, admire, admire." ”

I smiled and took another sip of Pu'er.

Sister Lan was not annoyed anymore, and said, "The little boy is very thoughtful, and Sister Lan, I won't say anything about the corner." I have been running this Yin Red House for many years, even if I have no feelings, I will have some feelings. If you just give it to others, you will be reluctant in your heart. But I also know that with the means of the son, if I bite my mouth and say no today, he will have other ways to rob me of the Red Mansion.

Today's son-in-law gave a happy word, but where did Sister Lan offend the child? Why did Childe take a fancy to me here? ”

I smiled slightly, "What did Sister Lan say?" I want to get a job today because I want to help Sister Lan make more money. ”

Sister Lan chuckled, "Little boy, I don't understand this, if you join me in the Red Mansion, the dividends will naturally be divided, how can you make more money." ”

"If you are now earning 1,000 taels a day, and my daily income will triple after I get a share, then if you throw away my dividends, Sister Lan's income will be a lot more."

Sister Lan snorted, "That's right, but the business of Huajie has not been good in the past few years, and if you want to triple your income, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

I put the teacup down, looked at her and said, "In the past, there was only a red card in the Yin Red Mansion, and there was no Oiran, but now, isn't there also one?" If Sister Lan doesn't believe it, we can make a bet that within two months, you don't have to do anything, and I can double the income of the Red Mansion, okay? ”

Sister Lan seemed to be interested, got up and hugged her shoulders to look at me, and said, "If you accept people here, can't you double it?" ”

I took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from my sleeve and put them on the table, "This is the gambling money, within two months, if the income doubles, you will let me in." If you can't double it, I'm willing to pay you ten times more than that. ”

Ten times, that's five thousand taels. Sister Lan was a little tempted, "Are you really going to accompany five thousand taels?" ”

I smiled, "A gentleman's words, the horse is hard to chase." ”

You don't have to do anything, you may get 5,000 taels in two months, this transaction seems to be a good deal......

Sister Lan hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth, "Okay, just follow your words." But there is no evidence, let's make a gambling contract, and if there is no improvement in the account after two months, you need to take out 5,000 taels of silver. ”

"That's nature!" I laughed in my heart, waiting for the words "making a bet"!

Sister Lan took the four treasures of the study, smoothed the paper with a paperweight, and put the matter on the paper. signed his name and pressed his cinnabar handprint, and the bet was made.

Picked up the paper and silver ticket and handed it to Sister Lan, and said, "I'll put this thing here for you first, and he will have a basis for it in the future." “

"Okay." She nodded and took it, carefully folding it into her sleeve pocket. In her opinion, the current collection is already high, and it is impossible to double, and the gambling contract is two months later, the five thousand taels sent to the door for nothing, how can she accidentally put it away.

"What refreshments do you want to eat? I'll send someone for you. "Sister Lan, this will be in a good mood.

I said, "I don't need refreshments, I still have something to do, so I'll leave more, I'll draw you a pattern of the lobby that needs to be modified, and you can complete it as soon as possible according to the pattern, so that you can get more money as soon as possible."

She was a little stunned, and I laughed, "I only said that you don't have to do anything, but I didn't say what I would do." Didn't I give you five hundred taels, just use the money first, if it's not enough, you pay first, and I'll give it to you next time." ”

Sister Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally took the pattern.

Calculating the time, I may have been out for a long time, and seeing that it was almost noon, I got up and said goodbye.

Sister Lan sent me to the door, I bowed slightly, went out to grab some medicine first, and then walked in the direction of the General's Mansion.

If you solve the problems outside the house, you should also solve the things inside the house.

The second lady's account should have been settled a long time ago, and it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today.

Su Hong has been wearing a colorful hat for such a long time, and it is time to take it off.

The General's Mansion has been quiet for too long, and it's time for it to be lively......
