Chapter 21: Just the same person
With the approach of Gu Wei's birthday, there are more and more people in the rivers and lakes in Shifang City, because in addition to some people who have friends with Feng Xiao Jian Zhuang came to congratulate Gu Wei on his birthday, there are also a large number of people who came to the sword exhibition held by Feng Xiao Jian Village.
Two months ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Wind Howling Sword Village will hold a sword exhibition on the second day of the owner's 40th birthday, and the Wind Howling Sword Village will display all kinds of swords forged over the past few hundred years. Although the most famous Genesis Sword and Cold Moon Sword of Wind Howling Sword Village were no sword comparable to them in the next few hundred years, the swords forged by them were indeed of higher quality than other iron shops, and there were many good swords among them. Therefore, people who use swords as weapons in the rivers and lakes, and have a bit of status, generally want to ask for a good sword of the Wind Howling Sword Village, and the ordinary people in the rivers and lakes feel that the most ordinary sword in the Wind Howling Sword Village is much stronger than the ordinary iron shop. The ordinary sword of the Wind Howling Sword Village is easy to find, and the good sword is hard to find, this time the Wind Howling Sword Village will display all kinds of swords and sell them at one time, which has attracted many people who can afford to buy them, and those who can't afford them also want to have the opportunity to feast their eyes.
At this moment, a man in red in the Yinghua Building of Moyan Pavilion in Shifang City was eating the grapes handed by the beautiful woman next to him with a comfortable face, and his eyes seemed to be confused, but in fact, he was secretly observing the owners of the major shops in Shifang City sitting below, as if he wanted to see something clue from it. The six men and two women below had been sitting for half an hour, and the eight of them ignored the quiet tea on their faces as they ignored the Lord's behavior of only receiving the grace of the beauties and not talking about business, and none of them could not wait to speak, because they were accustomed to such acts of the Lord.
After taking a sip of the top-notch hair tip handed by the beauty, Murong Ze's thin lips opened lightly, "Let's report the latest progress first, let's start with Zhang You." โ
"The promotion launched by the casino two days ago, as long as the top five customers who win the most money on the day can enjoy a 20% discount on Mo Yan Pavilion's restaurants, jewelry shops, ready-to-wear shops, tea houses, and Yinghua Lou within a month, as well as a 50% discount on the purchase of a mahjong set, since the launch of this promotion, the average daily traffic of the casino has increased by about 50% compared with usual, and the daily income has also increased by 30%." A man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed in a white long robe with high black hair, got up and saluted Murong Ze slightly, and then began to report.
"Due to the increase in visitors from Shifang City, the number of visitors to the restaurant has increased compared to usual, and the income has also increased a little, but..." The man in his thirties, who was a little chubby, continued to report after Zhang You's report, but his voice became smaller and smaller, his face was a little nervous, and after a pause, seeing that Murong Ze didn't mean to speak, the man's heart sank, "Although the preferential strategy of the gambling house can drive some people to come to consume, after all, the number of people is limited. And Baixianglou recently launched a new wine, called Jianlu, listen to its name to know that it is specially prepared to cater to the artistic conception of the 40th birthday of the owner of Fengxiao Jianzhuang, it is said that people who have tasted Jianlu are full of praise. The man didn't continue, but everyone understood the implication of his words was that Taste Lou lost to Baixiang Lou in this competition.
Hearing this, Murong Ze didn't say anything, just listened quietly. Seeing this, the others continued to report on their work.
"The operation of the original Baochai is going on as normal."
"The pawnshop business has improved slightly."
"Yinghualou's business has been very good recently, and its income has increased by more than 40%, and the admission tickets for tomorrow night have been sold out."
ยทยทยท
When the eight of them finished reporting at once, Murong Ze smiled slightly, put away the folding fan in his hand, and finally spoke: "Pawnshops, jewelry, garment shops, inns, and antiques can operate normally, and we must outperform the dark pavilion in the four aspects of gambling houses, restaurants, flower houses, and tea houses." โ
Hearing this, the remaining four people were relieved, but fortunately nothing happened to them.
"The casino has launched a good campaign before, which can not only increase its own income, but also drive traffic to other stores." Murong Ze expressed his appreciation for Zhang You's move.
"Yu Yang, you have a great responsibility, you are in charge of the restaurant and the teahouse, don't let the pavilion master down."
When Yu Yang heard that the lord had moved the pavilion master out, his heart became a little heavier. "The subordinates will live up to the expectations of the cabinet master and the lord."
Murong Ze's eyebrows bent, and he smiled amiably: "Don't worry, Bihua can go to Shifang City tomorrow." โ
Fang Bihua? Yu Yang was not happy at all, what if this person came, it was impossible for him to be in charge of the taste building, what use could he have. He can't stop at the gate, and others will be willing to come to the taste building to consume.
"He'll be in charge of the restaurant for five days." Murong Ze understood what Yu Yang was thinking, and said the news word by word that surprised the other party.
Hearing this, Yu Yang couldn't believe his ears, "The lord is saying that Bihua is willing to be in charge of the taste building for five days?" โ
Murong Ze bowed his head, indicating that the other party had heard correctly.
Yu Yang was overjoyed at the moment, this Fang Bihua was one of the top chefs in the Xiachuan Continent, but he had a strange personality, he only loved to specialize in food all his life, and he didn't know how the pavilion master subdued him to Moyan Pavilion, but these are not important, the important thing is that Fang Bihua's joining has greatly increased his confidence, and he is bound to compete with Baixianglou.
"I don't have to worry too much about Hualou, I'm just looking forward to Ji Yao's new show." After arranging the restaurant, it is the turn of Yinghualou.
Liu Qin immediately smiled when he heard this, "This show will premiere tomorrow night, don't miss it!" โ
"Naturally. Tomorrow night, my son will be here to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and all of you will come to enjoy Ji Yao's new show, maybe there will be unexpected surprises. Murong Ze hooked his lips and smiled.
In another mansion in Shifang City, Jiang Yiyi was watching a group of workers divide the large wine barrels in front of them, and the word "Jianlu" was pasted on each small wine jar.
"Miss Jiang, if Mr. Qionghua knew that we had opened these wines a year in advance, I am afraid that he would be furious." Wu Kun, the shopkeeper of Baixiang Building, said worriedly.
Jiang Yiyi frowned slightly, if Qionghua knew it, she would probably have to peel off a layer of skin, just thinking about Qionghua's reaction, goosebumps had already popped up. It's just that my brain was hot at that time to do things, and there was no turning back at this time. "It's okay, everyone is doing things for the Dark Pavilion, he will understand. And we only opened two barrels, didn't we leave him with one? "You must not show regret in front of your subordinates.
"Yes." Wu Kun agrees on the surface, but in his heart it is another voice, Mr. Qionghua will definitely go crazy. And Miss Jiang, are you sure you didn't take these two barrels of wine for personal vendettas? "There are more and more people who come to Jianlu, but I am afraid that these two barrels of wine will be in short supply."
"Supply is more valuable when demand exceeds demand." Jiang Yiyi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wu Kun, "Just follow the above method." โ
Wu Kun took it and opened it for a look, and then said respectfully, "My subordinates will do it." Wu Kun said in his heart that he didn't care about Mr. Qionghua's reaction, this wine has already been opened, so he wants to make it more valuable. Hopefully, this will make Mr. Qionghua less angry.
When Murong Ze and Jiang Yiyi were busy fighting wits and courage, Yuwen Han appeared in front of Lu Qianmo with a smile like a spring breeze.
Lu Qianmo looked at Yu Wenhan with a smile on her face, and her face seemed to be kind, but why did she suddenly feel a little cold, and her body shivered unconsciously. After doing a good job of psychological construction, he also asked with a smile on his face: "Why are you here?" โ
Yu Wenhan's smile was still the same, and he sat down opposite Lu Qianmo without hurry before saying, "Come and see your big Buddha." โ
Lu Qianmo still accompanied the smiling face and explained: "Someone was following us at the time, didn't I want to expose you too." โ
Speaking of which, Yu Wenhan didn't plan to continue to worry about the woman in front of him, he didn't really want to ask the teacher for guilt. Putting away his smile, he asked seriously, "Do you know whose person it is?" โ
Lu Qianmo shook his head, "But it's certain that it's not Yuwen Tuo's people, it may be people from the Demon Sect." "At the beginning, the Demon Sect regarded itself as Yun Moxi's accomplice, but now it is likely to be them.
"No, it won't."
Yay~"How can you be so sure? Lu Qianmo was puzzled.
"Yun Moxi is also in Shifang City, could it be him." Yu Wenhan didn't answer.
For Yu Wenhan did not answer positively, Lu Qianmo had doubts, but he did not show it on his face.
"As the prince of the Yunhou Mansion of Dongyue Kingdom, since he dares to sneak into my northern desert secretly, he really doesn't take my eldest brother seriously." Yuwen Han's face was cold, obviously very dissatisfied with Yun Moxi.
"Then you're busy." Lu Qianmo didn't care about how Yu Wenhan dealt with Yun Moxi, she was more concerned about Yu Wenhan If he wanted to deal with Yun Moxi, then he should not have time to find himself.
Yu Wenhan smiled, "Give the news to my imperial brother." โ
It's a great idea, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. "I'm afraid that Yuwen Tuo is not so easy to take the bait."
Yu Wenhan chuckled, "Then let's see how much skill my imperial brother has, as the eldest son, he should also take on the responsibility of defending against foreign enemies." โ
Lu Qianmo had no intention of continuing to listen to the battle between their royal family, and planned to change the subject. "How much do you know about Madame Gu?"
Yu Wenhan knew that Lu Qianmo had never liked to be involved in the royal family, so he didn't say much, but he didn't quite understand why Lu Qianmo cared about Mrs. Gu. "I don't know much about it at the moment, but if you're interested, I can ask people what you want to know. But..." After a pause, "Do you want me to know why you're interested in Madame Gu?" โ
"Since you don't know, forget it, don't forget what Moyan Pavilion is good at."
Yuwen Han's eyes drooped slightly, not letting Lu Qianmo see his expression, "I forgot, if it comes to collecting intelligence, Moyan Pavilion is the second, and no one in this Xiachuan Continent dares to call it the first." โ
Lu Qianmo knew that Yu Wenhan was unhappy, but there were some things she had to say. "Yuwen, I am grateful for your life-saving grace back then, if you need me to save your life one day, I will definitely be duty-bound. In addition to saving lives, I really make you a friend, we can ride horses, talk and laugh, cook wine and talk about swords, and play until dawn. But my friend is only Yu Wenhan, not the second prince of the Northern Desert. The grace of saving lives is more important than heaven, and I don't want to owe you more. "If you owe more, it will be difficult to distinguish between Yu Wenhan and the second prince of the Northern Desert, but I am afraid that the initial friendship will change by then.
Yu Wenhan's eyes sank again, and a dark voice gradually sounded, revealing a little helplessness, "Qianmo, why do you need to divide me so clearly?" Whether it's Yu Wenhan or the second prince of the Northern Desert, it's not me. โ
It's all him? Yes, whether it is the arbitrary man who saved his life at the beginning, or the second prince of the Northern Desert, they are just Yu Wenhan. But he can be friends with Yu Wenhan, but he can't face the second prince of the Northern Desert with the heart of a king. Because the second prince of the Northern Desert is not just him, and she knows Yu Wenhan's personality, she does not dare to put the fate of Moyan Pavilion on the other party. Sometimes she often thinks about whether she is lucky or unfortunate to meet Yu Wenhan. Although he saved his life, what will be the result of the fate bond in the future?
After a long time, she took a deep breath, and her thin lips opened lightly, "Yuwen, how can I say that I am also the pavilion master of Moyan Pavilion, don't bother you with this kind of trivial matter." However, I promise that if there is anything that Moyan Pavilion can't solve in the future, I will ask you for help from the Second Prince of the Northern Desert. โ
Still can't you completely abandon the mustard of identity? But at least today she is relieved, so let's take our time. "In this way, I don't want to have a day when something that Moyan Pavilion can't solve, it must not be an easy thing, I don't want you to encounter such trouble."
Lu Qianmo hooked his lips and smiled, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Yu Wenhan, "You friend, I Lu Qianmo didn't have a vain relationship, today I will toast you with tea instead of wine, as a friendship." After saying that, he drank it down, "Do it first for respect." โ
"It makes me happier to be able to let you toast me with tea than with wine." Yu Wenhan put away his other thoughts and drank this cup of tea.
