Chapter 31

Just when Qianru was hesitating, Zhao Xian'er appeared.

Zhao Xian'er's bun is very unique, which sets off her bright and refined temperament, like a fairy who has left the world.

As soon as she appeared, many passers-by couldn't help but stop to admire her beauty.

Even Qianru looked a little crazy, and she didn't come back to her senses until Zhao Xian'er walked in front of her.

"Sister Zhao, you are so beautiful!"

Zhao Xian'er smiled, and took her hand into the half-faced peach blossom.

"Women are three points beautiful and seven points dressed. There is a shopkeeper Wen in our half peach blossom, who is the best at this. She invented my peach blossom bun."

"What a talent!"

"The five shopkeepers in our Banmian Taohua are all talents in the industry. In addition to shopkeeper Wen who is good at dressing up, there is also shopkeeper Xia who is good at mixing fragrances, and there is also shopkeeper Tao who is good at making money."

With so many talents gathered, it's no wonder the business is booming.

At this moment in the morning, there was no business in the singing and dancing workshops on the whole street, and most of them didn't even open their doors, but one-third of them were seated in the half-faced peach blossom lobby.

Zhao Xian'er led her to drink tea in the private room with a happy face, Qianru saw that the room was more luxurious than the ones she had been in before, so she dared not go in immediately.

"Look at you, do you need to pay for coming to me?"

Zhao Xian'er smiled cleverly and dragged her in.

It's not that she's afraid of spending Zhao Xian'er's money, it's just that she has a hard time speaking.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xianer pierced her mind with a few words.

Zhao Xian'er not only knew about Gui Wang's eldest grandson Ji Fujue, but also knew that she was kicked out of the prime minister's mansion last night.

The news of the half-faced peach blossom is far beyond her imagination.

"You come to me, will I still keep you out? Am I so narrow-minded?"

Qianru hurriedly explained, telling her what the passer-by said and the worries in her heart.

"No matter what, I must not miss your future, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Xian'er smiled from ear to ear, like a peach blossom in full bloom.

It turns out that the so-called concubine's talk is simply nonsense.

Although Banmian Peach Blossom has the foundation of the former Begonia Pavilion, it is a newly opened song and dance studio after all, and its popularity is not high.

All of this is just a management method that the shrewd shopkeeper Tao came up with.

They call it "making a gimmick".

Everyone is talking about love after dinner, so the business here will become more and more prosperous.

Speaking of her pride, Zhao Xian'er told her softly that now the profit of Banmian Peach Blossom is five times that of the former Begonia House.

Qianru was speechless in shock.

But Zhao Xian'er frowned, "It's a pity that these profits have to be divided among five people, and they are divided according to individual contributions. Last quarter, Sima Jiuniang took the lead, followed by shopkeeper Tao, shopkeeper Wen, shopkeeper Xia and I only shared [-]% of it, and of this [-]%, I also share very little."

The more Zhao Xian'er talked, the more angry she became. Although she was angry, she couldn't help it. Who would let herself have nothing but the title of the number one singer in the capital?
"Hey! Although there is only a very small portion, it is better than I used to manage the Begonia restaurant exhaustingly, and in the end I lost my entire family."

Qianru thought, since she came to join Zhao Xian'er, she should do something to help, so she volunteered.

Zhao Xian'er was just whining and talking casually, but she didn't expect the stubborn Qianru to change her mind. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and the melancholy on her face dissipated.

"Sister, you have an extraordinary talent, and you can sing and dance. If you help me, I will definitely make a lot of money. I'm afraid you just did it on a whim."

Qianru saw that Zhao Xian'er was a little too excited, and hurriedly expressed that she still did not change her original intention and did not want to dance and sing on stage.

"It doesn't matter, even if it's just writing words, you don't know how much the guests like the words you wrote for me, especially some ladies and wives from aristocratic families."

As Zhao Xian'er said, she had an idea to make money again, so she went to invite shopkeeper Tao over in three steps, told her about Qianru's situation, and asked her to make a "gimmick" for Qianru as well.

Shopkeeper Tao's witty remarks made Qianru so exuberant.

"Once upon a time, there was the most talented woman in the capital named An Qianru. The young lady has the same name and surname as her, and she is equally talented. You deserve to be famous! However, with such a good foundation, I have to carefully consider what kind of gimmick to create."

Shopkeeper Tao thought for a while, clapped his hands and applauded.

"Why don't we just create a 'Three Beauties of Allure'? Our business is nothing more than sensuality.

The word 'sound' must belong to shopkeeper Zhao; Miss Qianru can write good words, master calligraphy and painting, and has already gained a reputation in singing and dancing, so the word 'art' is well-deserved.

As for the word 'color', Miss Qianwen is the most popular among us. "

Shopkeeper Tao had a very good plan, but Qianru was a little scruples. After all, she was not on the stage, and with such a big reputation, what should she do if the guests clamored to go on stage or accompany her for a drink?
"Sister, don't worry too much. You are famous for your talents, but not for your beauty. Those jobs will not be assigned to you."

Seeing that shopkeeper Tao thought so too, Qianru was finally relieved.

Shopkeeper Tao said that she just thought of a project in a hurry, and she had to think carefully about how to proceed, and she would have to discuss with several other shopkeepers later to make a decision.

Zhao Xian'er said a lot of sweet words, and then gave the precious jade bracelet she was wearing on her wrist to shopkeeper Tao, begging her to think more about Qianru.

It was profitable, how could shopkeeper Tao be willing to refuse, he said frankly that he would do his best to satisfy them.

Zhao Xian'er was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to prepare delicious food and wine, and wanted to celebrate with Qianru in advance.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, Sima Jiuniang broke in.

Seeing that the smile on Zhao Xian'er's face disappeared, Qianru suddenly remembered that Sima Jiuniang had said that she had the final say on the employment of half-faced peach blossoms, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Fortunately, the other three shopkeepers followed.

Zhao Xian'er's expression immediately relaxed, and she hurriedly called for more bowls and chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Tao is really quick-witted. While talking, he dialed the abacus, and once he finished speaking, the account was settled.

The shopkeepers Wen and Xia saw that the gimmick of "Three Beauties of Allure" was quite profitable, and they couldn't bear to object, but Sima Jiuniang's face was particularly gloomy.

"In business and business, you only see profits, but you don't see risks. An Qianru is no ordinary woman. She offended King Gui, and also aroused the hatred of many dignitaries in the capital. It's going to close down."

Shopkeeper Tao saw that the two shopkeepers, Wen and Xia, were shaken, and smiled, "Although people in our business are most taboo to offend the powerful, but which of us has never offended the powerful? The more powerful the offended person is, the more powerful he is. The more capable you are."

Seeing that shopkeeper Wen thinks highly of her, Qianru dared to stand up and argue for herself, "I heard that the emperor issued an imperial decree that officials of the third rank and above, as well as children of the royal family, are not allowed to enter Goulan, as long as I don't go out to deal with King Gui , you won’t offend him again.”

"I really think I'm a bastard!" Sima Jiuniang slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Qianru and spurning, "To deal with you, why do people need to do it themselves? Just send someone"

As a last resort, Qianru had no choice but to take out the token rewarded by King Luo.

Sima Jiuniang didn't expect that she would carry such a treasure, and was speechless for a moment.

Shopkeeper Tao seized the opportunity to solicit the opinions of Shopkeeper Wen and Shopkeeper Xia, and moved out a contract to deal with Sima Jiuniang, "Miss Qianru is not an ordinary person to hire, and now four of our five shopkeepers agree to use her, so please ask Jiuniang, you are so tolerant."

"What is Haihan? You all know that I have a grudge against this little hoof, and you still insist on using her. Don't forget, the house deed and land deed of Half Peach Blossom are mine. I just don't agree with this matter, I don't agree!"

Seeing that Tao, Wen, and Xia had stopped talking, Zhao Xian'er was worried that things would go wrong, so she gave up her face and went to toast Sima Jiuniang in person to make amends.

But Sima Jiuniang didn't show any sympathy, and directly lifted the wine glass.

There was no other way, so Zhao Xian'er had no choice but to persuade Qianru to toast Sima Jiuniang.

In the past, Qianru would definitely not be able to say such extremely hypocritical words.

But the reality is pressing. For the sake of my life and revenge, I have to endure this tone.

So, she tried her best to put on a peaceful smile, walked up to Sima Jiuniang step by step, thanked her for her kindness in nurturing her in the past, and asked her to raise her hand.

Although Sima Jiuniang couldn't swallow this breath, half of her peach blossoms had invested her life savings. Before the capital was recovered, everything had to be endured.

For the word "forbearance", she reluctantly accepted Qianru's apology wine, which was regarded as her acceptance of adding half-faced peach blossoms.

However, Sima Jiuniang has a condition, and that is to ask Qianru to dance on stage.

"No matter how well you tout her, how can you achieve the effect if the guests have never seen her?"

The shopkeepers Wen and Xia also thought so.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Tao was eloquent, so he smoothed the matter over for her lightly.

"Three beauties in the city, what we want is that the three beauties are different. Miss Qianwen is a dancer, and it will be bad for us if Miss Qianru dances again."

The cunning Sima Jiuniang seized the opportunity and asked Shopkeeper Tao to change "Sanmei" to "Shuangshu", so that the sisters Qianru and Qianwen could compete on stage.

Shopkeeper Wen thinks it is very good, after all, what is put on the bright side is more real.

Shopkeeper Xia felt that this not only obliterated Qianru's talent, but also was too clichéd.

Shopkeeper Tao was also confused as to whether it was "Three Beauties" or "Shuangshu", so he simply persuaded Qianru and An Qianwen to compete in the peach blossom forest in the garden.

After retreating again and again, Qianru's heart became more and more contradictory.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the scars all over his body would solve this problem for himself.

With the reality in front of him, it was useless for Sima Jiuniang to force her, so she could only admit the "Three Beauties of Allure" originally set by Shopkeeper Tao.

However, in the area of ​​"living", Qianru was stumped again.

Half a face of peach blossoms is now very expensive, except for Sima Jiuniang who has her own bedroom here, and the rest of the people are housed in the courtyard next to the alley.

If you can't live here, your little life will be insecure again.

How can this be good?
