The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 3 Talking about business

The street where Nan Mengjie is located is very prosperous, among which there are four brothels and three casinos.She carefully observed the general situation of the seven stores.One of the brothels named Yancuilou was quickly locked. The business of this brothel was sluggish, and the girls looked listless.

As soon as Nan Mengjie stepped into the Yancui Building, she was stopped by a woman. Seeing Nan Mengjie holding her hair in a bun that had not left the pavilion, the woman smiled and said, "Girl, this kind of place is not suitable for you to come in."

"I'm here to talk to your boss about business," Nan Mengjie said and found a nearby seat to sit down.

After listening to Nan Mengjie's words, the woman looked at her behavior, went to the second floor to call the steward without saying a word.

There were almost no guests in Yancui Building, and there were a few beautifully dressed women sitting lazily on the first floor.Nan Mengjie ignored their strange eyes and observed the interior of Yancui Building.

After the woman in charge came down from the second floor, Nan Mengjie looked at her. Although the woman in front of her was old, she was well maintained. There was no exaggerated makeup on her face, no cumbersome ornaments on her head, and no gorgeous body. The clothes, the overall dress makes people look very comfortable.If it wasn't for being in a brothel, it would be hard for people to believe that it was a bustard.

"I heard you were looking for me," said the woman who stopped Nan Mengjie just now standing beside the steward.

"I want to discuss a business with you," Nan Mengjie straight to the point.

"Let's go to the room on the second floor," the steward said and walked directly to the second floor. Nan Mengjie got up and followed behind her.

The two entered a room on the second floor, and the steward poured Nan Mengjie a glass of water.

"You can call me Miss Qin,"

"Sister Qin, I want to buy your Yancui Building," Nan Mengjie looked at Sister Qin while holding a glass of water.

"Although the business of my Yancui Building is not good, I don't plan to buy it." Sister Qin didn't expect a little girl to have such an idea.

"I bought Yancui Building, Sister Qin is still in charge here, and the girls can also stay," Nan Mengjie offered absolutely generous terms.

Sister Qin appeared just now. Although the girls were still in a lazy posture, their eyes were full of respect.It's not easy for a brothel manager to make a girl look respectful.Today, Yancuilou's business is bleak, and there are still people who are willing to stay. This also makes Nan Mengjie understand that Sister Qin is a capable person.

"Why?" Sister Qin began to pick up Nan Mengjie who was wearing a veil seriously.

"The reason is very simple. I want to make money, and I don't think Sister Qin is willing to let the people who are still left have no way out in the future. As for the price, Sister Qin can open whatever she wants," Nan Mengjie said boldly.

"With the 10 taels of silver ticket and the conditions you mentioned just now, I promise to sell Yancui Building to you," Sister Qin deliberately raised the price to test Nan Mengjie's sincerity. Get off the back of the girls.

Hearing Sister Qin's promise, Nan Mengjie said without even thinking about it; "Okay, the deal is completed, and I will deliver the banknote within five days." After speaking, Nan Mengjie drank the water in the glass in one gulp, waved her hand He opened the door and left without going back.

Nan Mengjie's blunt answer made Sister Qin a little confused. The asking price of 10 taels of silver was considered high, and she just wanted to try Nan Mengjie, but she didn't expect Nan Mengjie to agree directly.As for the final answer, it still depends on the results of five days. A girl raised such a large amount of banknotes as 10 taels in such a short period of five days. She has doubts and expectations.

Nan Mengjie who came out of the Yancui Building didn't wander around, and went back to the inn directly, gave some silver taels to the waiter, and inquired about the situation and addresses of several rich merchants in the capital.

After learning about the situation, Nan Mengjie went to bed early to rest and recharge her batteries for the upcoming battle.Yes, in order to raise money in a short time, she plans to be a thief, this is a simple and quick way to get money.

On the second day, after Nan Mengjie left the inn, she went to buy some rouge powder.After some disguise in the back alley, he walked towards the Baifu.Nan Mengjie appeared at the back door of Jiang's mansion with a timid appearance.

"Girl, girl, why are you falling asleep here?" A plainly dressed old woman shook Nan Mengjie awake. It seemed that this old woman should be a servant in Jiang's kitchen.

After waking up, Nan Mengjie half-closed her eyes, pretending to be weak and said: "Ma'am, you have pity on me, take me in for a few days, I'm really hungry."

"Girl, did you come to the capital alone?" The old woman asked Nan Mengjie sympathetically.

"Yes, my mother died of illness. I went to seek refuge with relatives in the capital, but I couldn't find it. I haven't eaten for three days," Nan Mengjie said in a very miserable way.

"Girl, I'm just a servant of the Jiang family. I really can't take you in. Why don't I give you something to eat?" The old woman looked at Nan Mengjie in embarrassment.

"Auntie, you can take me in for one night. As long as I recover my energy, I will leave tomorrow, and I won't just stay away. Auntie, I will help you work, and I won't live for nothing," Nan Mengjie pitifully Xixi looked at the old woman.

The old woman hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, and just like that, Nan Mengjie successfully sneaked into Jiang's residence.After arriving at the woodshed, Nan Mengjie wolfed down the steamed buns given by the old woman, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Eat slowly, and rest here when you're full. Don't run around. If anyone asks, just say it's my niece from afar. Just call me Mother Xu," the old woman handed the water to Nan Mengjie. A few words in particular.

"Mother Xu, the Jiang family looks so rich, is it an official or a businessman?" Nan Mengjie drank her saliva and asked Mother Xu as if she didn't understand anything.

"Jiangfu is a big business and has opened many stores. You only need to go outside and talk about Jiangfu in the capital. Many people know about it. I heard that the eldest son is going out to inspect the shops these days," said Xu's mother patiently. Jie explained that in her opinion, the little girls from the countryside must not know much.

"Is the eldest son going to inspect? Is the master of Jiang's mansion at ease? I heard from people in the village that the sons of rich families are all idlers."

"It's not all, the eldest son of the Jiang family is very capable, okay, you eat slowly, I'm going to the kitchen to get busy,"

Seeing that Mother Xu was about to leave, Nan Mengjie got up immediately and said, "Mother Xu, thank you very much for taking me in. I can't eat and drink for free. I can help you with some chores."

"Okay," Xu's mother looked at the well-behaved Nan Mengjie and agreed to her request.

In the kitchen, Ms. Xu briefly introduced Nan Mengjie's identity to everyone. Nan Mengjie nodded timidly and shyly to everyone, and everyone didn't pay much attention to her.It's not that she is willing to come to the kitchen to do chores, the only way to get more available information.During this period, Nan Mengjie listened to everyone's chatting and occasionally asked questions, and finally got some useful information, for example, who is the most favored in Jiangfu now, when the master usually rests, etc.
