It was night, and the streets of Shangjing were deserted. Every household closed its doors only after the sound of drums.
Flower Street is of course no exception, but through the lights of the street market, you can also see the figures of people inside the flower building swaying.
Fenghuafang was crowded with guests today, and the madam was naturally very happy when she saw the guests banqueting in the lobby downstairs.
But now that he was happy, there was something else he didn't like about the old bustard.
And this matter is related to his top card.
But he said that Qingcheng Lan Jue had been highly praised by the eldest princess since his debut. He was born with good looks, he was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was even very good at kung fu.
Therefore, his guests are always many times as many as other gentlemen.
He had never received much training, so Lan Jue seemed a little arrogant and didn't know who his name was.
During this period of time, he relied on the favor of those noble ladies and often closed the door to thank guests. This also offended many people. She is now thinking that this boy has indeed contributed to the business of her building in the past two years. A lot, and his big benefactor was the eldest princess, so the madam just coaxed him and let him go.
Not that he was so used to it now, but he became more and more confused.
Yesterday, I coaxed him to finally choose a guest, but unexpectedly he let him go halfway.
Today he said that the guest would come to see him and arrange a good meal.
As a result, it was dark now, every house was closed, and she didn't see the guest he mentioned coming.
This only delayed the naming of other guests, and the bed was empty again today.
Isn't his behavior just to make fun of himself?
It seems that he can't let his temper run wild from now on.
It was also time to let him know that no matter how much he was treated favorably by other noble ladies, he was still just a little husband-in-law.
I have always seen those who sell being picked by those who buy, but never those who buy and those who are sold.
Thinking of this, the old bustard decided to call a few turtle slaves to give Na Lan Jue some suffering.
Unexpectedly, she had just come downstairs when she saw a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as the madam, about forty years old, grabbing the old madam's sleeve.
The old bustard passed by the reputation and found out that the other party was the former wife of Dongchang Houfu. Although this woman and Dongchanghou had reconciled and divorced, this could not stop the woman's natal family being rich and her husband's family being kind, so although she They made peace, but still got a fairly generous sum of money.
They also have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, but this woman often comes to them to have fun. .
The madam also had some impressions of her from this.
The woman looked at the red lantern that was still not extinguished in the middle of the second floor with drunken eyes, and then she laughed and said, "Why is the light still on in young master Lan Jue's room? Could it be that he was also let out of an appointment tonight?"
Hearing the woman's words, the two husbands who were supporting her couldn't help but feel a little gloating about her misfortune.
After all, he is also a husband, but Lan Jue can choose his own guests and earn a lot of money. This is enough to make people jealous in the eyes of his peers.
Lan Jue always had a noble and arrogant attitude, and did not take others seriously.
In the past, when he was in the limelight, others only dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
Now that they finally saw that Lan Jue was defeated and let go by his chosen guest, others could not help but rejoice in his misfortune.
After hearing this, the madam felt a little unhappy, but she still had a smile on her face and said with a pity look, "Yes, our Lan Jue's guests didn't come today. It seems that our Lan Jue tonight Jue can’t do business again.”
After hearing this, the woman looked at the old madam eagerly and said, "Since Young Master Lan Jue's guest didn't come, how about letting him do my business? I'm willing to pay him double the price of his usual customers, as long as he can stay with me for one night." I am satisfied."
After hearing this, the madam looked at the woman again.
The woman was plump and plump, and her skin was as fair as water-smooth tofu. In addition, her actual age could not be seen due to the proper maintenance of her skin. Moreover, her appearance in wearing gold and silver clearly gave her a look of wealth.
Her cheeks were flushed at the moment, and she was being supported by two husbands, one on the left and one on the right. Her gait was obviously staggering, and she looked like she had drunk a lot of wine and was quite drunk.
In the past, the old bustard would not like this kind of thing.
The suggestions from the guests are ignored and ignored.
After all, although Fenghuafang is engaged in business, some of them are not wealthy enough to do business.
They are dedicated to the powerful, and in the future they will only do business with the powerful. In order to generate a value-for-money bid for the powerful.
This kind of top brand will not accept business from non-rich people, no matter how high the price is.
And once they take over non-rich business, it can only mean that they have no value and are no longer worthy of being at the head of the business.
In the future, people like them will only face an increasingly declining fate.
The Madam was actually quite optimistic about Lan Jue at the beginning. He was still young and had good luck even if he stayed in his head and worked as a Qingcheng.
However, this Lan Jue is really disobedient, and his biggest financial supporter, Princess Dachang, has indeed not come to see him these days.
I think the eldest princess is just trying to be fresh, so she doesn't take him seriously.
That's why I thought of this. The old bustard also wanted to teach Lan Jue a lesson.
If he continues to be disobedient, it won't matter if he is kicked off the head. Anyway, the most important thing for the madam is loyalty and knowledge rather than intelligence and talent.
Otherwise, no matter how great this person is, he will only become a source of instability in Fenghuafang.
Because of this, the Madam changed her previous refusal today. She only smiled and said, "Since Madam is so sincere, I will naturally have to try to arrange Mr. Lan Jue for you. However, we Lan Jue are also very particular about accepting guests." I have to ask him what he means."
After saying this, the old bustard just said, "I will go and communicate with Lan Jue first, madam, please wait."
Then the madam twisted her waist and called a few turtle slaves to follow her up to the second floor.
The two husbands who had been supporting the woman just now couldn't help but look at each other after the madam left.
Although the guests were robbed, they were somewhat unhappy.
However, the guests who are not top-notch husbands like them would never have anything to do with the top-notch ones. Now that the old madam has taken the initiative to let Lan Jue handle their customers' business, it seems that Lan Jue's good days are coming to an end. .
Therefore, they only pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Mrs. Xing, can't we two brothers satisfy you? Now that we are still here, you are still thinking of others."
Mrs. Xing just smiled and coaxed the two brothers and said, "Isn't it just a novelty? Don't worry, I just want to see what is so great about Lan Jue. My heart is always with you." "
After saying this, Mrs. Xing only gave each of their brothers a handy gadget to appease their dissatisfaction.
In the flower building on the second floor on the other side, the old bustard had just pushed the door of the flower building when a sky-blue porcelain cup made from Ru kiln was smashed on the threshold. If the turtle slave hadn't blocked it, the old bustard would have immediately My skin will be scratched by the ceramic shards that are scattered all over the floor.
And the interior was a mess.
And the culprit who caused all of this is currently wearing a crimson cloud and crane brocade gown. Looking at him, his hair is like crow feathers, his lips are like vermilion, and his nose is like jade. What a pity for such a beauty. At this moment, he clearly looked furious.
When the madam saw him like this, she just put on a lukewarm expression and said, "Who made our dear Lan Jue angry?"
When Lan Jue saw that it was the madam who came in, he put away the set of porcelain cups that he was about to throw away. He just placed the porcelain cups heavily on the table and snorted coldly.
The madam didn't pay attention to this. She just said to the waiter who was so frightened that she huddled in the corner, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you clean up the room quickly? If this hurts our dear Lan Jue, You know what will happen."
Although the Madam's voice was not loud, the cruelty in her words was clearly revealed.
Therefore, after the servant heard what the old bustard said, he naturally did not dare to delay any more.
They just quickly started to tidy up the house.
At the same time, the old madam only approached Lan Jue and said, "Lan Jue, my mother's darling, tell me who provoked you? Is your mother venting your anger?"
Lan Jue just didn't answer.
The old bustard said, "But these waiters are clumsy.
Annoyed you. "
Lan Jue still didn't speak.
The madam then said, "It seems that you are angry that the guest you agreed on yesterday did not come."
Lan Jue snorted lightly.
It seemed that his guess was correct. The madam then chuckled and said, "Why are you angry with them? No matter how bad this guest is, they are also the ones who spend money. It is their freedom to come or not. Can you promote this?" Business is our business.”
After hearing this, Lan Jue finally glanced at the old madam, and he snorted softly, "Then according to what mom means, is it because I, Lan Jue, am not capable enough?"
Seeing that he was getting even angrier, the madam smiled more and more contentedly and said, "Mom, that's not what you meant. Our dear Lanjue is the living sign of Fenghuafang. My dear, do you want any guests?"
After listening to the madam's advice, Lan Jue's expression improved.
The old bustard also took advantage of the situation and said, "Just now downstairs, the former wife of Dongchang Houfu was still downstairs saying she wanted to meet you. She also said she was willing to pay double the price. Ah Jue, this is a big deal. Well, how about we facilitate this business?"
When he said this, the madam had already signaled the turtle slaves waiting outside the door to enter the house.
Hearing this, Lan Jue's calmed down mood was immediately poured over his head.
"Mom, what do you mean by this? How can the customers I used to pick up have anything to do with people of her status?" Lan Jue asked coldly.
When the madam saw him asking, she stopped pretending. She just said with a cold face, "What is her identity? No matter how unhappy she is, she is still the former wife of Dongchang Houfu, and no matter how unhappy she is, she is still half of Dongshi City." The owner of the street. They have a lot of money. They are guests when they come to our place."
"Our Fenghuafang is a place for business, not a place for charity and supporting young masters and ladies."
