Chapter 308 Ji Ran's name, passed on to the world (8)
After the poisoning incident at Jiran Snack Street spread, although the Yang family responded in time, their voice was quickly drowned out by the people's reprimands and insults, and the Yang family's business was also greatly affected.
, just as public opinion continued to ferment, Jiran Bookstore began to take continuous actions again.
Three days later, four branches of Jiran Bookstore opened at the same time, two of which were particularly special. One was Yunshangzhai, which specializes in selling women's books, and was headed by Lingfeng, the popular author of "Qingmeng Cup", and the other was named Wenya.
Ju, this store does not sell books, but is a teahouse that mainly sells essays, calligraphy, poetry, etc. It has launched many novel literature and novels such as "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Linhe Preface" as soon as it opened.
The calligraphy works have attracted the attention of many literary masters and calligraphy enthusiasts in the city, and also slapped those people in the face who said that Jiran Bookshop only sells useless books and evil books.
At the same time, Jiran Theater, which is also owned by Jiranju, also announced that it will officially open in five days. At that time, works such as "Journey to the West", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "The Legend of White Snake" will be presented to the public in the form of stage plays.
Many people who have heard about Huaizhou stage plays are particularly looking forward to it and take the initiative to help Jiran Theater promote it.
Because there was news before that Jiran Bank would open low-interest loans and flying money, the news that Kyoto Jiran Bank and Huaizhou Jiran Bank would open at the same time seven days later attracted much attention from businessmen, and the people were even more interested in bank deposits.
Interested in insider information.
In addition, news about Jiran Bookstore’s cooperation with Tianxia Chamber of Commerce to launch a book peripherals store, Jiran Theater’s preparation to build a branch with cross talk and sketches as performances, etc. have also spread, which has made many people aware of
In the future, cultural and entertainment-related activities in Kyoto may be inseparable from Ji Ranju. Some people are teasing that Ji Ranju is about to open a brothel now!
As everyone knows, Lu Qinhua, the shopkeeper of Huanxi Tower, is sitting in the lobby of Ji Ranju with a smile on her face, holding a teacup in her hand. She had not doubted Tang Ji's ability before, but she still had doubts about Tang Ji's ability and a century-old foundation.
The Yang family was full of doubts when they faced off head-on, and they were also worried that her cooperation with Tang Ji would bring trouble to the building. But these days have passed, and she feels lucky for her original choice.
Just at this moment, when he saw Tang Ji walking in from the back door, he stood up quickly and said, "I have met Master Tang. This must be Mrs. Tang, right? She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy!"
Jiang Ran did not refute, brushed his hair, smiled, put his hands on his waist and gave a salute.
Tang Ji covered his lips and yawned, finally taking a nap. He originally planned to sleep until noon. He raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to point to the seat: "Shopkeeper Lu, please take a seat."
After saying that, he also sat down on the main seat, looked at the other party and continued to ask: "What does Shopkeeper Lu want from me?"
Lu Qinhua sat on the chair with a smile on her face: "I just came to tell Mr. Tang that the things you told me have been completed. Do you think we have agreed to cooperate? Hehehe...
..”
Seeing her smiling like she had won the lottery, Tang Ji couldn't help but shudder, rubbed his shoulders, and then replied: "I know, I'm almost ready here, there will be a 'food exchange meeting' the day after tomorrow.
Jiran Theater will open in five days, so we have to stagger the time... Let’s start in three days.”
"Okay, I will make sure everything is well arranged when I return home, and I will never let you down, Mr. Tang." After saying that, Lu Qinhua drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up excitedly, and walked towards the gate without forgetting to look back.
He said politely: "Master Tang, there is no need to send it away!"
The corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched. He seemed to have said it was three days later. Is it necessary to be so anxious?
At this moment, a pair of white and delicate jade hands placed on his shoulders and kneaded them gently.
"My good husband, why are you cooperating with a brothel?"
"What? Madam is jealous?" Tang Ji asked with a sneer.
Hearing this, Jiang Ran put on a little more strength and hummed softly: "Humph, I didn't."
Tang Ji patted her hand and explained: "The Yang family's main business is brothels. Even if bookstores and theaters can divert his customers away, they can't change the demand. I know you don't like that kind of place, so we won't open it ourselves.
, then I have to support other brothels, after all, the only ones who can kill my peers the fastest are my peers!"
After hearing what he said, Jiang Ran's heart felt warm, she pursed her lips, a smile appeared on her face, and gently squeezed his shoulders.
Soon, Tang Ji asked the maid to call Ye Zheng and told the latter: "Ye Zheng, go and tell Shen Ling that Huanxi Tower's plan is on the agenda and ask him to paint the promotional posters in the next two days.
Come out, by the way, and also have the first draft of the Jiran Bookstore logo designed by him, give it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Ye Zheng replied with his hands raised and then retreated.
Jiang Ran, who was standing behind the main seat, stroked his lips and chuckled: "It's been a hard life for Shopkeeper Shen these days."
Tang Ji shook his head: "Young people should endure more hardships. His monthly payment has increased five times this month. He may be very happy!"
"Yes, yes, it's not like someone who is lazy every day!" Jiang Ran replied with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ji suddenly stood up, turned around and picked up Jiang Ran: "Madam is right, you can't sit still all the time, it's time to move!"
"Ah~" Jiang Ran screamed, struggling in his arms.
Jiu'er, who was eating delicacies bought from the snack street in the backyard, heard the voice coming from the front hall and couldn't help but shake his head: "Miss, please take it easy, my uncle hasn't decided on a name for the child yet!"
...
The doors of the Yang family have been closed for the past two days, and the atmosphere has become extremely dull. No one in the house dares to speak loudly, and the maids walk very carefully. Even in the front yard, you can hear the sound of fish playing in the backyard.
Su Xiuyun was wearing a purple-red skirt today, and she was also very well dressed, but her face was extremely pale. She was sitting blankly in the pavilion in the backyard, with steaming food placed on the stone table in front of her.
None have been moved.
Just at this moment, a blue bird landed on the eaves and chirped non-stop.
Su Xiuyun gritted her teeth and tightened her cheeks. She picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it: "It's so noisy!"
The tea cup finally smashed to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the blue bird was also scared away. It flew in the air without forgetting to hoove twice, as if it was a mockery and insult to her.
Su Xiuyun's breathing was a little rapid, and she sat back on the stone bench again, clenching her fists and beating them on the stone table.
Just now, she learned from Butler Yang that in just three days, various stores under the Yang family suffered huge losses. The key was that the reputation they had been operating for many years was completely wiped out. She finally realized the horror of Tang Ji, but now her family
The old man is still in prison, she and the second child don’t know how to do business, and now there is nothing they can do!
Soon, Butler Yang walked over with heavy steps: "Madam, many restaurants in the city are going to hold a 'food exchange meeting' the day after tomorrow. We..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Xiuyun suddenly interrupted: "We're going too. Since we can't come up with new dishes and can't stop them from joining forces, let's just call this so-called 'exchange meeting'!"
Yang Weicai lowered his head silently and added softly: "Husband, madam, they said that our Yang family poisoned Jiran Snack Street. We are not worthy of participating in such despicable acts, and we have been removed from the list."
"What did you say?" Su Dioyun was about to explode at one o'clock. After listening to his words, he stood up again and yelled viciously: "Why? They are so brave. Don't you know that in the city of Kyoto, my Yang Family Restaurant is also
Does one of the best exist?"
Yang Weicai took a small step back and stood by the pavilion pillar to avoid being accidentally injured.
After a long time, Su Xiuyun's expression softened a little, she sat down again with her forehead propped up, and sighed: "That's all, we still have a brothel and a bank, let's put the restaurant business aside for now, and wait until the master comes out to make plans.
"
Yang Weicai raised his head and looked around, then bowed and whispered softly: "Madam, I still have something to report."
"Say!" Su Xiuyun's tone was very impatient.
Yang Weicai coughed lightly and said, "I found the old master's key."
Hearing this, Su Xiuyun suddenly raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes: "What did you say? Found it?"
"Yes, this morning, I went to deliver breakfast to the old man. He mistook me for Yang Xinghuai. I saw with my own eyes that he took out the key hidden under the pillow, wiped it like a treasure and put it in his sleeve." Yang Weicai
explained.
After listening to his words, the corners of Su Xiuyun's mouth naturally rose. This was probably the only good news she had heard in these days. If she could get the key and open the door to the Yang family's treasure house, what about Tang Ji and Ji Ran Bookshop?
Don't even take it seriously.
Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and even the wrinkles covered by pink and white rose. She had previously persuaded Yang Tianchang to snatch the key away, but the master was too worried and unwilling to speak to the old man.
Otherwise, the Yang family would not be reduced to such a state. Now that the master is not here, let her do it for him!
Su Xiuyun shook her head and put away her thoughts, and told Yang Weicai: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, including the second child. You can find a way to find out more and make sure that the key is what I want!"
"Old slave, I obey." Yang Weicai bowed his hands and left in a hurry.
Su Xiuyun straightened up and looked at the small pond in the distance, with a sneer on her lips: "Tang Ji, just wait for me. One day, I will personally send you to see that bitch Yang Shuli!"
