The Qingyuan Building seemed to have returned to its former liveliness. When Zhou Kun saw Xu Caining walking in from the gate with someone, he was all excited: "I have sent people to find the eldest lady several times. Not only
Not only was he not found, but he was scolded severely by the second young master, saying that he didn’t know the importance of the matter!"
Zhou Kun looked aggrieved. If there weren't many guests watching around him, he would have looked like he was about to hold Xu Caining's arm and cry at any time.
Xu Caining ignored him and led him straight upstairs. Zhou Kun was stunned and trotted after him. As for the doubtful looks from the guests, he couldn't care less at the moment!
"Speak slowly, what's important?"
Xu Caining sat down and said: "Is someone looking for trouble? I have told you about this matter. When I am away, if you feel that you can't resist it, just go back to the house and ask the second young master to come forward. Doesn't it work for the second young master to come forward?
?”
"It's not looking for trouble!" Zhou Kun hesitated and said, "Someone wants to poach the girls in our building, and the girls in our building seem to be tempted and can't stop them..."
"Have the girls left?" Xu Caining had an angry look on his face. The original purpose of his Qingyuan Building was to give the women in the brothels in the capital a place to stay. Xu Caining might be in charge.
She cannot be pitiful to everyone, but within her ability, she is still willing to work hard to help these women.
Now someone came specifically to poach someone, not to mention the price offered, at least the other person's motives were disgusting to her. She was a girl from Qingyuan House, and she didn't want them to jump from her place to another brothel.
At least here, they still have the right to choose and their own dignity, but when it comes to those profit-seeking brothels, their fate is no longer up to them.
"The girls haven't left yet. That's when I stopped them with words. After all, our building has protected them for so long. If they just left without even seeing the eldest lady, that would be ungrateful.
Yet?"
"It's good that they haven't left!" Xu Caining narrowed his eyes: "After such a long time, you should have found out where the other party came from, right? Which brothel is it? Call our people and follow me to smash them.
That broken building, and then come back and talk!"
She suddenly stood up and glared at Zhou Kun. This was how she, Xu Caining, handled things. No matter where he came from, if she dared to mess with his Qingyuanlou brains and come to Qingyuanlou to poach people, she had to do a good job.
Prepare to be ruined by her.
Didn't the Qingyuan Building just come here by smashing it?
"The other party is not a brothel..." Zhou Kun glanced at the angry Xu Caining: "It's Wu Xiang, the commander of the former military governor's mansion. I've asked about it. He is a martial arts scholar in the second year of Tianqi. This time, Your Majesty
During the purge of the eunuchs, he was promoted by His Majesty!"
"What kind of girl are you looking for in our building?" Xu Caining was stunned, and his face became even more disdainful: "This person is so lustful, how can he be reused by His Majesty..."
"It's not that he is lustful. It is said that this person is from Jiangnan and his family is quite wealthy. He came to our building once in a while and saw that the girls here are extremely talented. Moreover, they treat guests with neither humility nor arrogance, not to mention using sex to serve them.
As a result, this man had his mind set on poaching a group of girls here. I learned from the girls that he sent someone to promise that if they were willing to stay in the capital, they could come to his Wu family. The Wu family usually takes care of them.
, as long as the girls can come forward to perform when the Wu family is making friends with officials and wealthy businessmen, and he has repeatedly promised that he will never do anything against the girls' wishes!"
"What if you don't want to stay in the capital?" Xu Caining said.
"He said that the Wu family has no shortage of money, and there is no shortage of wealthy businessmen and scholars in Jiangnan. When the time comes to build a building similar to the one we have here in Yangzhou, not only will the girls' lives not change, but they will also be able to find their own jobs in Jiangnan.
If you have the opportunity to choose a good man, you can look forward to the rest of your life!"
"Do the girls in our building believe this kind of nonsense?" Xu Caining was stunned: "If they really leave our building, do they think they can get what they want?"
"Most people don't believe it, but there are a few who are a little older, and some who can't wait are willing to bet on the other person's character!"
Zhou Kun said sadly: "The eldest lady protects them too well on weekdays. They think that the people outside are being polite to them because it is their own face!"
"Those who want to leave, call them over!" Xu Caining nodded: "I told them face to face that if I promised them that day, I will still count. As long as they find their destination, they can leave at any time!"
After a while, six or seven beautiful women were brought in front of Xu Caining. They probably felt that they owed Xu Caining a little. The women lowered their heads, as if they had done something wrong, and did not dare to speak.
"I have no reason to stop you!" Xu Caining said expressionlessly: "Then how General Wu negotiated with you, I don't care, your bond of sale will be returned to you later, but in the past few years,
You also spend a lot of money in our Qingyuan Building..."
The expressions of several women suddenly changed slightly. This was definitely not the first time they heard this.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking for money to settle accounts with you!" Xu Caining's words immediately made them breathe a sigh of relief: "However, when it comes to guest and host, I have to do good deeds in the end to be a meritorious deed. Zhou Kun will take care of you."
You don’t have to worry about the annual expenses, just press your fingerprints. I’ll go to General Wu to ask for this money. Isn’t he short of money? I guess this little money won’t be a problem to him. If you live well,
This money will be left in the building and distributed to other sisters. If you have a bad life and want to come back, this money will also be compensation for you!"
"how?"
"Miss, if you have your fingerprints pressed, we won't be able to repay the money, right?" Someone asked timidly.
"I've given back the deed of betrayal to you, what else do I need from you!" Xu Caining sighed: "If I really want to squeeze money out of you, I'll just refuse to give you the deed of betrayal. Why do you do so much more!"
"The eldest lady has thought of things that you didn't expect for you, and you are still blabbering here. I really don't know in which life you were lucky enough to meet such a good person like the eldest lady..."
Zhou Kun muttered: "Miss, you are afraid that others will deceive you..."
