queen and pro

Chapter 147

"Ahem... Changsheng, can you earn money by working with your sister-in-law?" Lan Qin cleared his throat and asked solemnly.

"Of course, I trust sister-in-law's gaze!" Xu Changsheng said loudly, patting his chest.

"Okay!" Lan Qin clapped his hands, "Since this is the case, why don't you join the shares too! You contribute 10 taels of silver, and you get [-]% of the net income!"

"This..." 10 taels is not a small amount, Xu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then patted his chest and said, "Okay, no problem, sister-in-law, I took out all my wife's books, you Can……"

Seeing his funny look, Lan Qin suddenly had an idea: "I have a good idea, and I guarantee that none of the oirans who come here will quit!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Even Feng Chenyi became interested.

"Equity incentive policy!" After finishing speaking, Lan Qin met four dazed big eyes and had to explain patiently, "I plan to give Baihualou to everyone who has made significant contributions to the prosperity of Baihualou. Let’s put it this way, I divide the income of Baihualou into [-] shares. As long as those who have made great contributions to Baihualou, they will be rewarded with one or two shares during the Chinese New Year. What do you think? What's the idea?"

"It's really a good idea!" Feng Chenyi praised Lan Qin in a rare way, and when he turned to face Xu Changsheng, he returned to his poker face, "It's getting late, shouldn't it be time for you to go back?"

Hearing this unceremonious eviction order, Xu Changsheng had no choice but to stand up and leave in despair.It's true, having the opposite sex is inhumane. I think back when he didn't marry his sister-in-law, he stayed here every day, and didn't even go back for a few days. I didn't have any objections. I just stayed for one night today and drove him away.

As soon as Xu Changsheng left, Lan Qin suddenly became uncomfortable. This is the study room, and she suddenly remembered the passion of last night, her face flushed so red that she could bleed, her eyes looked around uncomfortably, but she didn't dare to look around. Look at Feng Chenyi.

"What is madam thinking? Your face is so red?" At some time, Feng Chenyi had come to her and picked her up and sat on his lap, the two of them looked at the full moon outside the window together.

"Hey, it's nothing, please let me down!" Lan Qin struggled uncomfortably, she didn't hear Feng Chenyi's voice for a long time.When she looked up, she met his sad face. She had never seen such a sad expression before. Lan Qin was stunned for several seconds, and then asked cautiously, "What's the matter with you?"

Feng Chenyi's chin suddenly rested on Lan Qin's shoulder, and a muffled voice came out: "Round moon, bright red blood, my mother died under such a full moon back then! Today is her memorial day , but I don't even know where she is buried!"

Lan Qin's hand froze, Feng Chenyi never talked about what happened to him before he was eight years old, even Feng Hai didn't know about it, this was the first time he talked about it, it seemed that it was indeed a very bad memory.Lan Qin felt that any language at this moment was pale and weak. She was not the person involved, so she couldn't understand that feeling at all. She could only wrap her left hand around his waist, and gently patted his back with her right hand, giving him silent support. .

For a long time, neither of them spoke, Lan Qin's eyelids started to fight, and the hands placed on Feng Chenyi's body also dropped feebly.

Feng Chenyi finally moved, he stood up, hugged Lan Qin, gently opened the door of the study, returned to the room, took off her shoes, socks and coat, put Lan Qin on the bed, covered her Quilt.

After finishing all this, he sat on the edge of the bed again, looked at Lan Qin without saying a word, finally sighed lowly, and said to himself: "Perhaps it is best to forget all the ugliness like you Let's do it!" After finishing speaking, she got up and twirled the quilt corner for Lan Qin, then turned around and walked out of the room lightly.

When the sound of the wooden door being gently closed came, Lan Qin, who was supposed to be sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, not like someone who had just woken up.

She quickly got up, put on her shoes, and opened the door, but Feng Chenyi was no longer in the corridor. She tiptoed to the study room, and quietly opened a crack in the door, only to find that there was only the sound of burning candles inside. , didn't even see a shadow, and then she sneaked around the courtyard where they lived but couldn't find Feng Chenyi.She had no choice but to go back to the room and lie back on the bed. This night, until dawn, she closed her bloodshot eyes, and Feng Chenyi never came back. This was the first time since they got married, she slept alone.

After nearly a week of preparations, the address of Baihualou was finally settled in a three-story wooden building at the end of Zhuque Street. There are three other yards behind this wooden building, which together have hundreds of rooms. Enough for hundreds of people to live in.Lan Qin found a group of craftsmen and made a good decoration. The biggest feature is that a layer of wooden boards was erected in the middle of the building at a height of four or five meters, making it a stage for performances. Several lamps were hung in the center, and each lantern was covered with a translucent gauze of different colors, resulting in a hazy and different-colored lighting effect.Lan Qin planned to wait for the official opening of the brothel to hold singing, dancing and piano performances here every now and then, instead of just doing skin and meat business.The house is finished, and now there are only people left.

Fortunately, the recruitment of Hua Niang also achieved staged success. Yan Niang recruited more than a dozen good people, and Xu Changsheng recruited even more. It is impossible to come to Baihualou.

Today, Lan Qin happened to be going to solve the problem of these women's contracts of prostitution.The agreement Lan Qin reached with these women was that he and Baihualou would each pay half of the cost of the redemption. In order to prevent these people from turning upside down and leaving immediately after getting the deed of sale, it would bring a lot of trouble to Baihualou. In spite of the loss, Lan Qin also signed a one-year contract with them. If the two parties still intend to continue to cooperate after one year, the contract can be renewed.If not, these women would not have to pay the half of the ransom fee that Baihualou paid for them.Such favorable conditions naturally attracted many brothel women, after all, no woman likes being sold like goods!
The first thing Lan Qin came to was Yihua Pavilion, and there were 8 women in Yihua Pavilion who were willing to quit.Knowing that Lan Qin was here to poach corners, Mother Li didn't give her any good looks when she saw Lan Qin this time, but she probably received instructions from Shangfeng and didn't deliberately make things difficult for Lan Qin. Yan Niang called together, took out the deed of sale, and both parties paid the money and left.

The second one that digs the most corners is Cuixianglou. When Lan Qin went to redeem people, he inevitably encountered Wang Mama's difficulties.
