Fifty guan!
Are you kidding me? The rent for a half-hidden face is only fifty guan for one month.
They took such a big risk and mortgaged the facade to the pawnshop without telling the landlord, so it was worth one month's rent?
Zhao Pan'er was worried that Sun Sanniang had slipped her tongue, so she said first, "One hundred guan. The rule of the job is always one month, and we only need seven days. If I don't come to redeem the **** within seven days, our tea shop will The door is yours."
The shopkeeper of the **** shop was previously overwhelmed by the title of "Mrs. Song", but Zhao Pan'er threatened her with the inscription of Ke Xianggong and knew many high-ranking officials; she also used her to show off her net worth of playing a thousand songs; the shopkeeper hesitated for a while. Still agree.
Zhao Pan'er took advantage of the situation, and once again borrowed the name of Mrs. Song to mortgage her calligraphy and paintings at a high price.
After a while, Ge Zhaodi and Sun Sanniang walked out of the **** shop carrying a cash box together. Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and began to figure out how to make up for the last few dozen shortfalls.
"Pan'er, the one hundred and thirty guan here, including Gu Qianfan's two hundred and the two hundred and twenty guan earned by our tea house, is still not enough to make up the first prize."
Sun Sanniang looked at the cash box on the carriage, frowned and said, "What's more, I suddenly remembered, is there money for introductions in the money? It's not good for us to embezzle her money like this?"
Zhao Pan'er has long been accustomed to this matter, and said indifferently: "It's okay, let Zhaodi go to Jiaofang to ask about the introduction later, she will not object."
"But." Sun Sanniang always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and she wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Pan'er, "The most important thing right now is to gather up the remaining dozens of coins. Based on what I know about Qian Fan, as long as he After receiving the message, I will definitely send the money as soon as possible.
So now we only need to collect six hundred guan, and before the landlord notices, we can use the silver he sent to redeem the store. "
Zhao Paner saw that Sun Sanniang still had doubts, smiled slightly, and asked: "Sanniang, don't you want to taste what it's like to be the owner of Wangyue Tower?"
Sun Sanniang was obviously moved, but before she had time to speak, Ge Zhaodi, who had been eavesdropping, came up to her and interjected, "I think! But I only have thirty sticks in my hand, can I count them as one? I didn't think about it." Be the fourth boss and the fifth boss, just be a small boss!"
"I didn't expect you to be quite rich~"
You know. The three sisters pooled the monthly rent of the tea shop on Ma Xing Street for 50 Guan.
Hearing that Ge Zhaodi was able to spend so much money, Sun Sanniang immediately laughed, and joked: "When I first came here half-hidden, she said that she was penniless and had no money to compensate us, and she was willing to pay us with work, and just take care of the meals. It’s only been so long, and I’ve accumulated thirty guan without making a sound~”
Zhao Paner also had a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't care much about the origin of the thirty pennies.
This little girl has too many thoughts, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she will desperately climb up. She often goes out to earn extra money on weekdays, and she is now short of tens of dollars. If she is not allowed to participate in the stock investment, she may not be willing to 'borrow money'.
Tomorrow is the deadline for paying the first deposit. This joint is on the line. Zhao Pan'er really doesn't want to give up all the previous efforts. She has been thinking about it for a long time, her face is calm, she smiles, and pretends to be relaxed: "Okay~ Xiaodong~~"
the other side.
Boss Zhou of Tongfu Tea House hugged left and right, and had already fallen out with Jiaofang'Song Niangzi' in name.
So Song Yinzhang hasn’t been to Liyuan or Tea House these days, and stays in Jiaofang to compose music and work from home all day long.
Shen Ruzhuo thought he was waiting for the right time, so he often went in and out of the teaching workshop, appearing in front of Song Yinzhang when he had nothing to do, and continued to play his infatuated character.
Gradually, Song Yinzhang softened his attitude towards him.
Once in a chat, Song Yinzhang talked about the reason for his falling out with Zhou Ji, with a look of grievance and resentment, saying that she had believed Zhou Ji's rhetoric at the beginning, thinking that he could help her get out of the country, but later found out that the other party was just an ordinary businessman. Get out of the country' just to deceive yourself made up lies
At the end, Song Yinzhang's experience in Huating County flashed through his mind, and he burst into tears with a sad look on his face.
Shen Ruzhuo's eyes lit up, and he took advantage of the situation to comfort Song Yinzhang, and said affectionately: "Miss Song, in Shen's eyes, you are always that flawless pearl and jade, and you should not fall into the muddy world. Be sure to treat you sincerely. Don't worry, my Shen family has a lot of contacts in the court, and I have a close personal relationship with the Jiaofang Envoy. It is extremely difficult for ordinary merchants to get out of the family, but it is extremely simple for me."
First reveal your true feelings, and then lure you out of your membership.
Shen Ruzhuo knew that this lowly status had already become a demon in Song Yinzhang's heart, as long as he grasped this point, she would not be afraid that she would not give in.
Seeing Song Yinzhang's "hesitating" longer than before, Shen Ruzhuo gradually regained some confidence, and was about to say something when a tomboy dressed in dark coarse cloth and dressed as a servant came from the courtyard.
‘Here~ That’s Mrs. Song. '
The maiko who led the way for her pouted her lips towards the gazebo in the middle of the courtyard, reminding her.
Ge Zhaodi had never been to Jiaofang before, and walked all the way with maiko. Although the surroundings are charming, there is no envy or yearning in her heart.
What a joke, except for a normal woman who has a bit of brains, she can't yearn for brothel geisha and some small xenon girls.
Hiding the contempt and disdain in her eyes, Ge Zhaodi smiled, thanked the maiko, and walked towards the gazebo.
"Take a dick?"
"Sister Yinzhang." Seeing that there was another person in the pavilion, Ge Zhaodi paused slightly, Shen Ruzhuo tactfully took a few steps, and came to the pavilion for the two to talk.
Knowing that Sister Pan'er is going to close the tea shop and switch to a restaurant, Song Yinzhang is surprised, but his heart is full of grievance and loss.
Such a big event actually waited until the signing of the contract before telling himself, Song Yinzhang got angry, and his tone couldn't help but aggravated: "Our sisters opened the tea house together, and you don't ask my opinion, so just close it?! Gu This is the case with Qianfan, the case with the tea house, and the change of career to open a restaurant or the case. They are obviously sisters, but in the end they keep everything from me."
Song Yinzhang became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, Ge Zhaodi crooked his mouth, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes: "Sister Yinzhang, don't say that about Sister Pan'er and Sister Sanniang, we wanted to tell you before, it was you playing tricks on yourself. She has a petty temper and ran out without listening to the explanation. She hasn’t been back to the tea house these days. Sister Pan’er thinks that the opportunity to buy Moon Tower is once in a thousand years. Come and ask for your opinion."
Ge Zhaodi responded, and left.
Shen Ruzhuo saw that Song Yinzhang was in a low mood, walked to the table and sat down, and comforted him: "That person was sent by Zhao Pan'er to ask you for money? She is a business woman with long sleeves and good at dancing. She has too many tricks. You should stay away from her." It's also a good thing."
Song Yinzhang frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What about business women? Who said that women can't do business? I opened a tea house with her, and we didn't steal or rob. I never thought there was anything wrong with business women."
Shen Ruzhuo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Song Yinzhang to be really angry about this matter, and said with a smile, "You~ it's this time, and you still protect her, it's really sisterly love~~"
Although Shen Ruzhuo's tone was gentle, Song Yinzhang heard a hint of sowing discord in the euphemism.
Song Yinzhang's complexion suddenly sank, stood up, and said with a serious face: "Even if we have conflicts, it is a matter between us sisters, and it is not up to others to say that she is not."
"Yes, yes, yes~ Shen just wanted to comfort Mrs. Song, but she lost her word for a while." Shen Ruzhuo realized that Song Yinzhang attached so much importance to sisterhood, so he didn't delve into this matter any further, and started talking to her about other things.
Seeing the sunset at dusk and the night approaching, Song Yinzhang found a reason to see off the guests, but did not respond to Shen Ruzhuo's earlier mention of "getting out of nationality". Although Shen Ruzhuo was anxious, he also knew that haste makes waste, so he had to let go After picking up some bait, before leaving, I mentioned to her about the Lord of the Third Division of the Court and China, and Lin Quan's plan to invite the Jiaofang envoy to a banquet recently.
When Ge Zhaodi returned to Osmanthus Alley, it was already late. After a report with rich details, Zhao Pan'er pursed her lips, and told Ge Zhaodi to keep Sun Sanniang a secret and not to tell her about it for now.
Early the next morning, Zhao Paner, Sun Sanniang, and Ge Zhaodi brought money to Wangyue Tower. To be on the safe side, in addition to Zhou Ji, a notary, Zhao Paner also invited Du Changfeng to help as a witness.
Taking advantage of the time between several people's negotiations, Sun Sanniang found Ge Zhaodi who had been avoiding her all the time, and asked her why she was avoiding her, and what was the result of going to Song Yinzhang yesterday.
Ge Zhaodi sighed and said, "Sister Pan'er won't let me tell you."
Sun Sanniang asked with a puzzled face, "Why? What did the introduction tell you?"
Ge Zhaodi lowered her voice and added embellishments: "She tore up the letter that Sister Pan'er gave her, saying that she was so anxious to ask her if she agreed to pay the money, but she just wanted to force her. Fortunately, there is no need for these stinky money now anyway, fortunately It should be a congratulatory gift for Sister Pan'er and Deputy Envoy Gu. Oh, and also, she said that she is not in good health and needs to recuperate, so she won't come to drink the wedding wine for Sister Pan'er and Deputy Envoy Gu."
As Ge Zhaodi expected, Sun Sanniang immediately became furious when she heard the words, and raised her voice: "How could she be like this! Just because we didn't tell her about Pan'er and Deputy Envoy Gu, she didn't care about the former sisters' relationship?"
"Love? She enjoys a lot more in Jiaofang now than here." Ge Zhaodi continued to shout, "I heard from people in Jiaofang that Miss Yinzhang is no better than before, and many dignitaries line up to see her." On her side, the clothes she is wearing now are made of gold, the pearls on the hairpins are as big as this, and there are a lot of maids and maids serving her, and the whole teaching workshop calls her lady."
Ge Zhaodi promised Zhao Pan'er that she would not tell Sun Sanniang, but in the end she talked more than anyone else, adding fuel to last night's embellished report, pretending to be mysterious: "Besides, I don't think she may be leaving this time because of Pan'er." My sister kept it from her because she was with Gu Qianfan~"
Sun Sanniang looked ugly, and asked: "Then what else?"
"I'm jealous." Ge Zhaodi said mysteriously: "Think about it, she was able to become a Jinshi for that Ouyang, so she wanted to marry Zhou She wholeheartedly; You have to get rid of Zhou Ji, and hurry up to Shen Ruzhuo!"
Sun Sanniang never expected that in just a few months, the former good sisters would become so strange.
greedy for vanity, ungrateful, jealous of sisters
Just when Sun Sanniang was feeling sad about this, a clear and loud applause interrupted her thoughts.
‘Crack~! '
Along with the heavy objects falling to the ground, the tables, chairs and benches fell to the ground. Sun Sanniang regained her composure and realized that there was another person in front of her. Ge Zhaodi, who was standing beside her, knocked over the table and chairs beside her, covered her left face, and fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.
Her brain was buzzing, and a burning pain came from her cheek. Ge Zhaodi leaned back against the broken table and chair, her eyes were dazed, and she felt her teeth flickering on one side, and her mouth was full of rusty blood.
"Young Master Zhou Zhou."
Sun Sanniang took half a step back, and looked at Zhou Ji who took out a tissue to wipe his palms in surprise, never expecting him to appear suddenly, and violently attacked.
"What's wrong? What happened?" "What happened?"
Hearing the movement, several people in the inner room who handed over the money came out one after another, and at a glance they saw Ge Zhaodi's swollen cheeks and the extremely obvious slap marks on his face.
"Zhaodi!" Seeing Ge Zhaodi's miserable appearance, Zhao Pan'er hurriedly walked up to him and asked what happened. Ge Zhaodi held back tears and curled her lips aggrievedly, but her cheek muscles twitched due to the severe pain, and she even opened her mouth. It's all difficult.
"Oh write~da daa~~"
Zhou Ji moved his hand?
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Paner's eyes.
She doesn't have much contact with Zhou Ji, but at least she has known each other for a few months.
From the first meeting in Qiantang to the present, Zhou Ji has treated all of them with courtesy, even Song Yinzhang, who has the best relationship, has restrained himself and returned to courtesy, never surpassing it.
Such a gentle and generous personality who has hardly ever gotten angry, how could he suddenly hit someone?
"Pan'er, what happened just now?" Sun Sanniang whispered to Zhao Pan'er what had happened. Zhao Pan'er frowned slightly, stood up and looked at Zhou Ji, bowed and said, "Zhaodi made a slip of the tongue and didn't mean to offend you. I apologize, but it was inappropriate for Zhaodi to mention the young master's name taboo, the young master told me, I will punish her, the young master's action is too harsh."
Courtesy first and soldiers later?
Zhao Pan'er didn't say, "She's still a child." Zhou Ji already gave her a high look, and glanced at Ge Zhaodi, who had venomous eyes. Miss Er apologizes on her behalf, then this slap should be regarded as Miss Dai Yinzhang's slap."
When Song Yinzhang was mentioned, a trace of panic flashed in Ge Zhaodi's eyes.
Although Zhao Pan'er had already guessed Ge Zhaodi's little tricks in private, she didn't care about it. Song Yinzhang's escape from control was inevitable. Ge Zhaodi's slave bond was still in her hands, and the new circle of sisters was still firmly controlled by her as the core.
