After Shen Ao left last night, Bai Qiutong didn't know how she finished singing "Peacock Flying Southeast". She only knew that in the past, she was always applauded when she stepped off the stage. What she got was a silent response. If it weren't for her previous performance, which had always been very good. , I’m afraid the sound of cheering will be heard.
Bai Qiutong returned to the room without knowing how. She fell down and cried. Her tears wet her clothes and sheets. The maid Yunzhi didn't know how to persuade her. She could only keep talking about Shen Ao in her heart. If it weren't for his sudden departure, how could the young lady cry so bitterly? It was all his fault.
Bai Qiutong not only broke the illusion in her heart, but also personally ruined the opportunity for Yanchun Tower to rise.
What girl doesn't have a child? Although she knows clearly where the status level lies, any thoughts she has about Shen Ao may be difficult to realize today, but ever since Shen Ao recited the poem "I live at the head of the Yangtze River" on the poetry boat, Bai Qiu has Tong couldn't help but fell into it.
Afterwards, she inquired in many ways, and then she discovered that Shen Ao had left calligraphy on other poems and essays, but this poem about love had left nothing behind. She didn't know whether it was intentional or not. For this reason, Bai Qiu Tong was filled with regret in her heart, but the sprout of love could not be controlled and planted.
Next, Shen Ao went to Changlong and launched goat milk soap, soap, perfume, iodized salt and other products. She has been paying attention to it, especially the poems and portraits written by Shen Ao for the eldest princess and Su Xun. She had paid her respects in front of the main store more than once. At that time, she only regretted that she did not have enough money, otherwise she would have to apply for a membership card, even the lowest level membership card.
I have been silently paying attention to Shen Ao's every move. Lying in bed at night, I am also happy and sad for him. The sky has paid off, and he in my heart actually appears in front of me in such a real way. Is this what the sky feels?
But she didn't grasp it and let it flow from her hands, extinguishing all the hope in her heart. Was she so unbearable that he ignored her so much?
Bai Qiutong cried all night. During this period, Yunzhi, her sister Wu Lian and other sisters tried to persuade her many times, but they still had no effect at all. On this point, the sisters in Yanchun Tower performed very well. Perhaps it's because they all have the same background. Although there is envy and jealousy between them from time to time, they don't bother to use any means. If their status is so humble and they are still fighting among themselves, isn't it really hopeless?
All morning, the entire Yanchun Tower was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere. Many people even didn't eat. They were thinking about the future and had to face a life that was likely to be miserable.
Qinghuren are talented women who do not sell their bodies, and they may even be beauties. But in fact, their status is low. They are not even as good as such good people and common people. They are only more famous than those prostitutes in brothels. It sounds better, but in fact the status is almost the same.
For Qing Guo people, their income is as clear as their name, as clear as a stream. It is great to meet someone to support you. You can earn more money and save some dowry. If there is no one to support you, your income will be low. It's so pitiful, far worse than those prostitutes.
The price of being noble is a decrease in income. For this reason, I don’t know how many poor people could not bear the pressure in the end, and chose to marry and become a child, or become a prostitute. Those who can really persist until now are all They are talented and intelligent people. Unfortunately, the reality is always very cruel. No matter whether they are talented or not, they always have to face the pressure of life. They have no income and no money. Let’s not say whether they can persevere. If they go down, just talk about their boss, the owner of Yanchun Building, I am afraid he will be the first to give up.
Once the boss no longer wants to continue, these shepherds will have to face dismissal. At that time, where will they go?
No matter what the plan is, except for Bai Qiutong, who is the leader among them, others will not have more opportunities to choose, and they may fall into the dust, completely destroying the hope of using their talents to change their lives.
I don’t know what the future holds?
Everyone is in a bad mood. As the sister in charge, Wu Lian wants to persuade everyone, but she herself faces even greater difficulties. Since she is the sister, she is naturally the oldest, already twenty-five years old. Of course she is nothing in this world, and she is not even close to the leftover women. But in Daqian, if she is not married at this age, she is definitely an old girl. It can be said that there is little hope of marrying a satisfactory husband. At this age, it is impossible to become the boss of other prostitutes. Even if you are a prostitute, you will have the lowest income.
The pressure of life and the lost future made all the girls in Yanchun Tower breathless and unable to lift their heads. Some girls had already prepared all their money and were just waiting for the moment when Yanchun Tower announced its closure. , they can find some good family members to be young children, or even maids. They just want not to be sent to a brothel, which will really ruin themselves.
When Shen Ao stepped into Yanchun Tower again, he seemed to be able to feel the heavy atmosphere.
It was the waiter who opened the door to greet Shen Ao last night. He recognized Shen Ao. After all, the green robe was more obvious than the white robes, gray robes, purple robes, and black robes that appeared on the street.
"My lord, I'm sorry, Yan Chun House only opens in the evening. If your lord wants to have some fun, why not go to the brothel on the street next door and have a look." Although the waiter knew that Shen Ao had a noble status, he also knew that he He is what people call the Little Poet Saint and the Duke of the State. But at this moment, he still refuses.
"Haha." Shen Ao's eyes revealed an extremely calm meaning. He didn't take the waiter's obstruction seriously. He just smiled and walked towards the hall. Compared with last night, there was no more noise here. There is just infinite silence.
"Ahem!" A fat man appeared behind Shen Ao. His appearance also caused the man who wanted to stop Shen Ao to stop quickly, "Mr. Zhong, why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than the owner of Yanchun Tower, Wailang Zhongxun, a former member of the Ministry of Rites.
When the boss arrived, the waiter bowed and was ready to call everyone out. However, Zhong Xun interrupted him in time, "You don't need to notify others, just ask Wu Lian to come over."
"No." The waiter agreed, then turned around and went upstairs. Zhong Xun, who was left behind, still smiled and showed his goodwill to Shen Ao, who was already sitting at the table.
Zhong Xun was also an arty person, and his family background was pretty good. He found people to help him get through, and after being recommended by people, he got the official status of a fifth-grade official, and then he built Yan Chun Tower to provide a place for his friends to have fun. A place to relax and unwind.
At that time, Zhong Xun still had an official status, and many people would come to Yanchunlou to spend money because of his reputation. Not to mention how profitable the business was, but there was still a surplus. But now, he is older and has retired. Few of the friends he had made would give him face. In addition, there were no new programs released in Yanchun Tower, and the competition in the Qinghuan industry was fierce, so he had plans to sell it.
Last night, Shen Ao, who had known the news for a long time, appeared here with the intention of investigating. On the way back, he made a decision and informed the eldest princess, asking her to come forward as an intermediary. After all, in the eyes of some officials , the status of the eldest princess is much more noble.
In the morning, Zhu Yun went to the Zhong Mansion on the order of the eldest princess. Zhong Xun knew that it was the eldest princess's wish, so she naturally did not dare to neglect and sold the Yanchun Building at 90% of the original price. She came here to go through the formalities. Doing the handover.
The clerk was very fast. After Wu Lian got the news, she didn't even bother to dress up. She just washed up briefly and then came to the hall. At this time, the entire sisters in Yanchun Tower also got the news, one by one. Standing in front of the door or window on the second floor, listening carefully, they also want to know where their future lies.
"Wu Lian has met Mr. Zhong." Wu Lian smiled slightly as she trotted over, with a respectful tone in her voice. If it weren't for Zhong Xun's attention, she wouldn't have the comfortable life she has today.
"Well, Wu Lian, this time I'm here to tell you that I have sold Yanchun Building. You also know the specific reasons, so I won't explain it here. You have to listen to the new owner in the future, by the way. Come and meet the new owner." Zhong Xun still admired Wu Lian very much, otherwise he would not have entrusted her with the business. At this time, he also wanted to do his best to let Wu Lian work under Shen Ao Having a good impression in front of people can leave a place to live.
Although she had been prepared, Wu Lian still felt sad after hearing the news of the change of owner of Yanchun Tower. She bowed deeply to Zhong Xun and said, "Wu Lian thanks Mr. Zhong for his continued care." Immediately, he turned to Shen Ao. When his eyes collided with his, there was a look in his eyes, and then he calmed down and said hurriedly: "My little girl Wu Lian has met Duke Zhongguo."
He didn't reply, he just nodded his head lightly in return. Shen Ao behaved like a gentle breeze at this time, very confident, and his boss's style was also very good.
The contract about Yanchun Tower had been delivered to Shen Ao a long time ago, and the money had also entered the Zhong Mansion. Zhong Xun knew that he had nothing to do here, so he cupped his fists and saluted Shen Ao: "Lord Guo, if nothing happens, I will Leave."
"Mr. Zhong, walk slowly." Shen Ao stood up and cupped his fists in salute.
Whether in terms of influence or power, Shen Ao is much higher than Zhong Xun. But that's what he is. If anyone respects me, I will pay you back an inch. Zhong Xun is so cooperative and polite, and he naturally That means respecting each other.
"Farewell." Zhong Xun also clasped his fists quickly and strode out of Yanchun Tower with a domestic slave. It can be imagined that the next time he sets foot here, he will come as a guest. .
