MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 71
Jiang Yunzhu knew that he was deliberately trying to embarrass her, so she changed her mind and said, "I will donate thirty taels."
Shopkeeper Song laughed, and pointed at Jiang Yunzhu, "Boss Jiang, your Qishanju is doing more business than my Baofulou. The last cooking competition, the magistrate personally decided for you, why now?" And Yu, Mengzhi County needs help now, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn't do anything?
Sure enough, some seriousness flashed across Meng Zhixian's face.
Jiang Yunzhu said, "Since it's a donation, it depends on one's own wishes. Although my thirty taels is not much, it is half of my savings. I don't know how much the shopkeeper Song's two hundred taels is because of his intentions?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, they almost forgot that Jiang Yunzhu really had no money. They also heard about her. They started from a small breakfast stall, and gradually rented a shop in Qishanju.
As for whether the tea is not cold, she won the competition.
Looking at it this way, it is really not easy for her to come up with thirty taels. As she said, in terms of intentions, she is a hundred times better than Shopkeeper Song.
Mengzhi County turned this corner and praised Jiang Yunzhu very much. Among the people present, no matter whether they are rich or not, who can do what she does? He suddenly felt a little emotional, this girl Jiang Yunzhu is really extraordinary.
"How could you only have sixty taels of savings!" Shopkeeper Song said angrily when asked.
"My Qishanju has only been open for more than a month. Everyone can estimate how much money I have made. The tea is not cold. Although I don't need to decorate it, if I want to operate it, I have to invest a lot of money in the early stage.
Shopkeeper Song thinks, how much savings should I have? "Jiang Yunzhu asked unhurriedly.
"This... isn't it that many customers have deposited money in your store?" Shopkeeper Song said unrelentingly.
"It's the guest's money, and it's just stored here. If I treat it as my own and spend it, the guest can rest assured?" Jiang Yunzhu said, scanning the surrounding people. There are quite a few people here who have saved money in Qishanju.
When those people heard this, of course they felt that Jiang Yunzhu was right, and they all looked at shopkeeper Song suspiciously. After Qishanju created the membership system before, shopkeeper Song thought it was a good idea, so he also implemented this system in Baofulou.
The effect is not better than Qishanju, but there are also many regular customers who have saved money.
Now these old customers are very doubtful whether the money they have saved is among the money donated by Shopkeeper Song.
"The golden signboard of Baofulou, I will never do anything that harms the interests of customers. The two hundred taels was donated by me personally." Shopkeeper Song quickly explained and guaranteed, lest people would ask him to refund the money.
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu said coolly, "Shopkeeper Song is really rich and powerful."
"You..." Shopkeeper Song blushed with anger. He wanted to take the opportunity to ruin Jiang Yunzhu's reputation, but who would have thought that she would be so sharp-tongued and say that she donated thirty taels, which seemed to be better than his donation of two hundred taels. Sincerity is the same.
"Okay, everyone depends on their own will." Meng Zhixian interrupted Shopkeeper Song.
The donations continued, Meng Zhixian looked at Jiang Yunzhu, then looked at Shopkeeper Song, but suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, he wrote a pair of words for Jiang Yunzhu and Shopkeeper Song, not only to reward them, but also to encourage everyone to donate more in the future.
Someone prepared a pen and paper, and Meng Zhixian splashed ink and wrote two lines of poems for Jiang Yunzhu, "Don't worry about poverty, and don't care about wealth and honor."
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Meng Zhixian obviously liked Jiang Yunzhu more.
Many people snickered in their hearts, shopkeeper Song is really, after paying so much money to go in, he made a wedding dress for someone else.
Shopkeeper Song was also furious, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only thank Mengzhi County sincerely.
Jiang Yunzhu also thanked Mengzhi County, and when he got that word, it was a surprise!
There was such a small episode, everyone donated money, which was much more generous than before, and Mengzhi County also achieved his goal. He twisted his beard, thinking about how much rice the money could buy and how many disaster victims could be saved.
After donating the money, everyone dispersed, Jiang Yunzhu walked back with the words, and decided to find a shop to frame the words and hang them in the store. After all, it is also the name of the county magistrate, and others can't get it if they want it.
Seeing that they will reach Qishanju after two streets, there are many people gathered in front of them, blocking the way.
Jiang Yunzhu looked into the crowd, and saw five or six people in the crowd, among them was a smeared woman, standing behind her was a boy and a girl, both of them were thirteen or fourteen years old, they looked exactly the same, with pretty eyebrows Big eyes, high nose and red lips, it looks like a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.
The young man is thin and thin, but with this appearance, he looks rather glamorous. With this appearance, the young girl has an indescribable heroism. The two stood there together. Although they were wearing rags and their faces were bloodless, they were attractive enough.
On the woman's side is a young man holding a folding fan, followed by three or four servant-like people.
Here is a beautifully dressed woman, and behind her are several servants, who are strong and have fierce faces.
"Mrs. Qi, my son has already brought the money, so these two people have to follow me." The son with the fan yelled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liang, I have already paid the money, and these two people are mine now." The woman opposite said.
"I bought theirs before you." Mr. Liang said angrily.
"But you didn't pay, so I'll pay first." The woman on the opposite side said, smiling and waving the handkerchief in her hand at Mr. Liang, a pungent smell of makeup and powder dissipated immediately, "I said Mr. Liang, you Isn’t that why you bought them for that kind of thing? So, you give it to me, and I’ll let you come to Hongxinglou for half a month later, how about that?”
Mr. Liang seemed a little tempted, but still hummed, "I'm going to order them today!"
They were still arguing there, and someone was talking beside them, and Jiang Yunzhu understood what was going on.
It turns out that Mrs. Qi in the middle is a tooth of a person, and she bought the pair of siblings from the victims of the disaster. She was going to sell the pair of siblings to Mr. Liang, but the old bustard in Xinghualou in the middle took a fancy to the pair of siblings and paid a higher price, so Mrs. Qi sold the pair of siblings to her.
Mr. Liang knew it, of course he didn't want to, so it didn't make a fuss.
"Mr. Liang has countless wives and concubines in his family. I heard that he has a lot of bookboys. He reads in the study, and he does that kind of thing with the bookboys in the study. Tsk tsk!" No wonder I have to part with this pair of siblings.
The old bustard of Xinghualou wanted to buy this pair of siblings, which made the meaning even more obvious. This pair of siblings look exactly the same, and they are also good-looking. If they pick up guests together, many people will definitely want to try it out. They are two cash cows!
Jiang Yunzhu frowned when she heard that, she knew that there were many disaster victims recently, and there were also many prostitutes, but this was the first time she met them.
She looked at the pair of siblings.
The older sister held her younger brother's hand tightly and stood in front of him.
The younger brother lowered his head slightly, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
The elder sister's eyes were anxious, but she didn't give up. Instead, she looked around, trying to find a chance. She knew that no matter whose hands she and her brother fell into, they would not be able to escape the fate of becoming playthings. She can bear it, but she doesn't want her brother to be bullied like this.
The people around were either watching the excitement, or gazing back and forth at their siblings with that disgusting look. The elder sister only felt desperate, until she met a pair of clear eyes, and there was disapproval in those eyes. Immediately, my sister looked at the man for help like a drowning man catching straw.
Jiang Yunzhu frowned when she received the cry for help from the older sister's eyes. She asked a person next to her, "How much is the selling price of this pair of siblings?"
"Originally it was ten taels, but later the old bustard of Xinghualou directly gave it to fifteen taels." The man replied.
Fifteen taels is really not cheap. I think Jiang Yunzhu was almost sold at six taels back then. She looks better than the siblings. It can only be said that in this kind of disaster year, sometimes two big living people are really worth less than once rice.
At this time, Mr. Liang and the old bustard of Xinghualou had a dispute, and the old bust backed down again, letting Mr. Liang play in Xinghualou for nothing for a month, and Mr. Liang gave her up.
Mr. Liang always likes the new and dislikes the old. He thinks that a month is about the same. He doesn't need to spend money, and he can avoid the trouble of dealing with people. What a great thing. Moreover, he felt that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief, and it might be more interesting to live in a flower house.
They decided the fate of the siblings very easily, and the onlookers sighed.
"Everyone come to Xinghualou to play when you have free time. I'll make sure you're satisfied when I finish training the pair of siblings."
For the pair of siblings, the elder sister clenched her younger brother's hand even more tightly, but she didn't intend to give up. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu earnestly, and she begged her to save them. In the future, she will definitely repay her well.
There was a ruthless look in the younger brother's dark eyes, but he lowered his head so no one could see it.
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu made a decision. She separated from the crowd and said to Qi Pozi, "I'll give you sixteen taels. How about selling these two people to me?"
Everyone was stunned by her words, why did she rob people again?
When Mr. Liang saw Jiang Yunzhu, his body collapsed in half. He had seen the owner of Qishanju before, but every time he caught a glimpse of a shadow from a distance, he couldn't see people clearly. It made him scratch his head every day. Unexpectedly, Met here today.
Seeing Jiang Yunzhu's appearance clearly, he only felt that she was more beautiful than he thought.
The procuress of Xinghualou also showed surprise. From her point of view, Jiang Yunzhu is definitely a top-notch beauty. In particular, the special temperament on her body makes people forget the vulgarity when they see it.
Mrs. Qi stared at Jiang Yunzhu with triangular eyes. She wants to pay sixteen taels to buy someone?
Of course she is willing to sell, but...
"How is it?" Jiang Yunzhu asked Mrs. Qi directly.
Mrs. Qi nodded. After what happened just now, she is no longer afraid of boiling water. They can fight as much as they like, and it is only reasonable that she can get more money.
"Okay, then I'll buy it, go, come with me to get the money." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Mrs. Qi looked at the bustard of Hualou.
The old bustard of Hualou came to her senses and shouted anxiously, "I've already bought them."
Jiang Yunzhu looked at her, "Didn't you also buy the person after increasing the price? Then I paid a higher price than you, and this person will naturally belong to me."
The bustard of Xinghualou was questioned.
Mr. Liang hurriedly said, "This person should belong to me." If Jiang Yunzhu bought this person, he would get nothing, so he was anxious.
"Didn't you just give up and don't want anyone anymore?" Jiang Yunzhu asked him.
"If I sell it to the bustard, I will give up and sell it to you..."
"But you have already given up. Once a gentleman says something, it's hard to chase after a horse. Because of this, this person should be sold to you first. But you don't keep your promises yourself, so how can you let others keep their promises?"
There is a paradox in Jiang Yunzhu's words. If everyone keeps their promises, then Mr. Liang has indeed given up the right to buy. If everyone does not keep their promises, it is not Mr. Liang's turn to buy first, so Mr. Liang doesn't care what he says .
Mr. Liang was choked up, and looked at the old bustard of Hualou.
The old bustard in Hualou was so angry that the duck in his hand was about to fly?
"I pay seventeen taels." She said, Jiang Yunzhu didn't want to compare prices, so she would compare with her.
Jiang Yunzhu had all her savings, and she really only had about forty taels. No, she had no choice but to give up.
At this time, someone suddenly asked, "Boss Jiang, what you are holding is the words written by the county magistrate just now?" It was a woman, about thirty years old, who was the owner of a furniture store in the county. She came over just now, and after hearing the whole story, she also sympathized with the siblings, so she helped Jiang Yunzhu.
She was intending to take the old bustard of Pressing Xinghualou in Mengzhi County.
Sure enough, the old bustard of Hualou's complexion changed drastically when he heard it. What did the county magistrate write to Jiang Yunzhu?
Jiang Yunzhu understood the woman's kindness, so she nodded. Speaking of which, this word is also worth thirty taels!
"Mrs. Qi, it's up to you to say, who are you selling these two people to?" the woman said to Mrs. Qi again.
Mrs. Qi does this kind of business, and she usually cheats as much as she can, and deceives as much as she can. She is most afraid of the people in the government. When she heard that the county magistrate actually wrote for Jiang Yunzhu, she immediately softened her body from fright, and said, "Otherwise, I'd better sell it." Give it to the girl."
The old bustard of Hualou was a little unconvinced, but she didn't say anything in the end, so Jiang Yunzhu bought the pair of siblings at a price of sixteen taels of silver.
He took people back to Qishanju, and gave the money to Mrs. Qi, but Mrs. Qi didn't stay for a moment, leaving the two people's contract of sale, turned around and left, leaving the pair of siblings and Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the deed of prostitution, her sister should be called He Ying, and her younger brother's name should be He Hong.
"Thank you for saving my life, Miss." He Ying immediately knelt down on the ground.
He Hong paused, then fell to his knees.
"Get up." Jiang Yunzhu said, a little melancholy, but she really didn't intend to buy someone. However, if you buy it, you will buy it.
At this time, Mrs. Chen and others came out and looked at He Ying and He Ying in surprise. This pair of siblings looks really good.
Jiang Yunzhu introduced each other to each other.
As for how to arrange the two, Jiang Yunzhu meant to ask them to help in the store, but Chen Shi suddenly found her. She meant that since she bought He Ying, it would be better to be her maid, so that she would not have to do many things by herself up.
Maid? Jiang Yunzhu was startled, but still refused.
But He Ying heard about this from nowhere, and took the initiative to find Jiang Yunzhu, "I am willing to serve the girl!" She knelt down and kowtow respectfully.
