Chapter 83: Xiangyun
If you want to say what kind of person is most liked by the ** boss, in addition to the princes and nobles and the children of the family, they belong to this kind of generous and extravagant people. As for the literati, they belong to a special group. Those who are extremely talented and handsome, even if they are poor, still belong to the popular category, but if you are not talented enough and not handsome enough, then the treatment can be imagined.
Don't look at just two man-made gemstones that are not very large, but this kind of champagne-colored gemstones are not common, and man-made gemstones have a characteristic that is different from natural gemstones, that is, they are pure enough. Coupled with the cutting technique of later generations, when you hold it in your hand and shine it on the light, it will bloom with dazzling brilliance.
With the eyesight that the owner of the Emerald Red Mansion has cultivated over the years in this industry, he naturally will not fail to see the value of the gems in his hands. Even if these two gems are too small in size, they are not worth a lot of money, but if they are used for rewards, they are not a big deal that ordinary regular customers can have. What's more, if you can let that person come forward to forcibly redeem Su Xiaomei, this is not just something that can be measured by a little money.
To say that the boss of this Cuihong Mansion, although he is not young, from the outside, it reminds Li Anran of the old saying ", the charm still exists". Still, it's normal to think about it. can engage in this industry as a woman, basically people who have been in the dust. Those who can dedicate their lives to this cause will naturally not be too bad, otherwise, there will be no way to open Cuihong Mansion so big.
"Xiaomei, aren't you here to find a good sister for a while, go and get busy with you, don't worry about me." Li Anran, who sat down behind the case, looked at the sister who was still waiting by his side and said with a smile after sending away the boss of the Cuihong Mansion and the guys who were in the way.
"Young master, slave family...... The slave family still has one more thing to ask for. Although she had thought of some unfavorable situations in her heart before, Su Xiaomei, who was still relatively simple by nature, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Oh? Nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Picking up the wine cup in front of him, he tasted the grape wine in it shallowly, and after feeling that the taste was okay, Li Anran drank it all, and then smiled.
"The sister of the slave family is called Xiangyun, her background is similar to that of the slave family, she grew up in the building when she was a child, and she wants to get out of the cage. The day before yesterday, I sent a message to the maid and wanted to invite the slave family...... I want to invite the slave family ......"
Su Xiaomei actually knows very well that since she has redeemed herself, she has nothing to do with Cuihong Mansion. It is already extremely unruly for me to exchange letters with my former sisters, not to mention that I brought my new master here because of my own affairs. It is reasonable to make a big mistake, and if it is a wealthy family with strict rules, it will be punished severely, and it is likely to be sold after the heavy punishment.
Thinking of this, even if he knew that his new master was not a strict person, he still couldn't say anything after saying the most difficult words.
"Xiangyun? That's a pretty good name. Xiaomei, she wants to redeem herself like you, right? Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Li Anran, who had already guessed the truth of the matter, picked up the wine cup that had just been poured again, and said with a smile.
"I hope the young master has mercy." Seeing that her careful thinking had already been seen through, Su Xiaomei became calm.
"Pity? Hehe...... If you just want to redeem yourself, you don't need me to come forward, right? If you're just short of money, I'll allow you to use your own money to help out, and if not, it's not too late to come back to me. Seeing that there was a cushion next to him, Li Anran changed his posture, and after lying down, he said with a smile.
"The young master clearly sees that the difficulty of redeeming one's life is not all about money." After discovering that her master did not mean to refuse completely, Su Xiaomei, who saw a little hope, hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Xiaomei, how to say this, and tell me carefully. Li Anran, who originally thought that this redemption was just money, and really didn't know what the Tao was in it, said while tasting the grapes in the cup.
"Xiangling, you don't need to wait here, and wait outside the door, if someone comes, be sure to pass first." Su Xiaomei, who was not in a hurry to explain, turned her head and said to the maid who was kneeling beside her.
After listening to the instructions, Xiangling didn't know that her young lady was going to say something next, and she really couldn't let others listen to it. After giving a salute at the moment, he turned around and went out of the private room and guarded the door, so as not to be disturbed.
After Su Xiaomei put her mind at ease and told the story of the matter softly and in an orderly manner, Li Anran suddenly realized why Xiangyun, who had never met before, must ask the other party to let him come forward to deal with the redemption matter.
This matter is also simple to say, just imagine, a clean person like Su Xiaomei is a cash cow that has been carefully cultivated since childhood. Even if he hasn't broken his body yet, just singing and dancing on weekdays can already produce high benefits. But if the boss of the ** is not a brain problem, who will easily let go of this cash cow.
When it comes to the money for redemption, in terms of high-end "goods" like Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, the "business" is busy on weekdays, and the price of the appearance fee is also high. It's just that it's still the same sentence, being in a cash cow, how can it be so easy to redeem yourself.
Hearing this, Li Anran couldn't help but think of a very famous ** woman in the ancient novel "Warning to the World", Du Shi Niang.
This Du Siniang is not only a ** woman, but also the leader of flowers, who has been rolling in the wind and dust for so many years, and has already earned enough money to redeem herself. What can be done in the end to pin your hopes on Li Jia, the rich son of Shaoxing Mansion, in fact, it is very simple, first, this ancient woman has a low status, not to mention special groups such as Fengchen women, if it is just to redeem themselves, then where to go after redemption is a big problem.
These two come, ** is not a good stubble, spend so much heart to cultivate you into an Oiran, if you don't squeeze the value of your body, how can you let you go. Compared with the money that makes money, that bit of redemption money is nothing. Unless, you can find a backer who makes ** dare not mess around, otherwise, even if you have money, you can't redeem yourself.
Let's take Su Xiaomei as an example, if it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's appearance, even if someone offered the money to redeem herself, Cuihong Mansion would not have released her so easily. And in addition to the fact that Xiangyun did not have enough people to come forward, the money for this redemption was also not enough. As for why she is in such a hurry, it is because the day of her "leaving the cabinet" is imminent.
After listening to Su Xiaomei's empathetic narration, Li Anran felt some pity for this Xiangyun. However, there was no immediate statement. After all, he is just an outsider, and he has no foundation in Lantian County, not to mention whether his opening can play a role, even if he can do this with the face of Gu Bangcai, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen, how can he know that this matter itself is not a pit?
"Young master, Xiangyun and the slave family are like sisters, and I hope that the young master will have mercy." Seeing that her new master was there without speaking, Su Xiaomei, who couldn't help but be anxious, suddenly bowed to the ground and said.
"Xiaomei, did your sister say what she plans to do after redemption?" Li Anran, who was not in a hurry to say yes, asked.
"This ......" Su Xiaomei, who received the other party's letter and did not have the opportunity to interview, wanted to give a promise, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to speak.
"That's it, aren't you here to meet your sister today, then invite this Xiangyun here for an interview." Seeing that the other party hesitated, Li Anran not only did not get angry, but nodded secretly, and then said.
If the other party really made an irresponsible casual promise in order to achieve this, such a person Li Anran would not take it with him. Even if you don't sell all the other people, you will find an opportunity to return the other party's freedom, or use other methods to send them away.
"Yes, young master." Seeing that things had come to this point, Su Xiaomei hurriedly agreed.
Soon, Mrs. Xu, the owner of Cuihong Mansion, who left after Zhang finished drinking and eating, was invited over.
"I've seen Li Langjun." Although she didn't know where the strangely dressed Lang Jun in front of her came from, Mrs. Xu knew that the person in front of her was a distinguished guest on the seat of the county lord and the Zheng family in Xingyang, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"Mrs. Xu doesn't have to be polite, she brought Xiaomei here today, firstly, she wants to see and understand, secondly, she wants Xiaomei to reminisce about her old relationship with her good sisters, and I hope that Mrs. Xu can open the door of convenience." Looking at the other party who was half-aged and still charming, Li Anran said politely.
Don't look at the other party as just a ** boss, but Li Anran doesn't think that the other party can open such a big industry in Lantian County, which is very close to Chang'an, and can also do business so prosperous, but it is so simple on the surface.
"Li Langjun said with a smile, Xiaomei is no different from her own daughter to the slave family, so naturally there is no reason to obstruct it." Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu turned her head and said to Su Xiaomei on the side: "Xiaomei, it's only been a few days since you left, why does it seem so raw." I came to see Xiangyun this time, and the concubine has already been invited. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Looking at the smiling face, Su Xiaomei, who couldn't give birth to the slightest intimacy in her heart, said with a deep salute.
Before Mrs. Xu, who was standing there, could speak, she saw a woman in a goose yellow dress and a maid walk into the private room from the outside.
is different from Su Xiaomei, although Xiangyun, who is one year older, is still in a state of Lori by the standards of later generations, but his figure is much plump. is different from Su Xiaomei's standard melon seed face, the other party's face is slightly rounded. The beauty also adds a bit of cuteness and charm.
All in all, it's a stunner.
