Back then in Jiangnan, she was seventeen, and this man was four years younger than her, at thirteen.
Qing Lian witnessed him kill someone, and even caught a glimpse of his face after his mask slipped off. If she hadn't reacted quickly, betrayed information about several of the city's wealthy families, and swore a solemn oath to the moon, she would have likely perished.
At the beginning, Qinglian was actually very brave. Relying on her youth, beauty and talent, she wanted this man to take her away and give her a place to stay.
Qinglian can still recall the scene of that day to this day.
She grew up in a music hall and was born in a music hall, but she didn't want to spend her whole life in the music hall, entertaining others.
Although Qinglian was afraid at the time, she was not an ordinary woman. She vaguely felt that the person in front of her was definitely capable of taking her away.
Opportunities are always fleeting, Qinglian will try her best to seize every opportunity. She knelt down in front of him, tears in her eyes: "My lord, please take Qinglian away from here."
The young man stood in the shade of the trees, the moonlight pouring down from above, landing on the bloody knife in his hand.
He tilted his head: "Benefits?"
At that time, Qinglian really didn't expect him to ask this question.
benefit?
How many young masters in Jiangnan want to get her.
Qinglian said softly: "Qinglian is willing to pledge her body to you. From now on, it will be yours, young master."
He immediately laughed: "I prefer money."
Qinglian also reacted quickly: "Qinglian has one thousand taels on hand, and I also have a lot of jewelry. If I go out and pawn it, I can get some..."
The young man sighed softly: "It's not enough. Once I use it, it's gone. What's the point?"
Then he paused and said, "You are a smart person." Without giving her any chance to speak, he left.
Qinglian is indeed a smart person. She has always cherished her life and knows that the other party is willing to let her go because he is sure that she will not tell anyone.
She also knew that she could only keep this kind of thing in her heart and never mentioned it over the years.
But she never thought that she could see him again in Shangjing.
"Here are your indentures." Ji Yunxi read them one by one, then threw them on the table beside her and looked at the people standing in the hall. "From now on, you are mine."
Young Master Yu Yue has been in Shangjing City the longest, and he knows who Ji Yunxi is.
He also knew that the person in charge of purchasing treasures from all over the country in Kaitai Manor came from their small brothel.
At the beginning, the senior was responsible for explaining the auction on the stage.
At that time, many young ladies came for that senior, and he brought up the popularity of Kaitai Manor.
Later, Kaitaizhuang developed better and better, and no longer needed to rely on handsome men and beautiful women to attract customers. The senior also showed his talent and no longer needed to rely on appearances to show off.
Now, he has married, has a son and a daughter, and lives a peaceful and happy life.
Yu Yue concealed his inner emotions and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Yu Yue will follow the Third Miss's instructions."
Among the other seven people, a few also knew about these things and immediately followed suit and saluted.
Qinglian was also shocked.
She had only been in the capital for a short time, but she had always been able to plan for herself.
She and Liu Mama from Yihongyuan have been getting along well these days. Liu Mama often said that many girls from her Yihongyuan were redeemed, but the ones with the best endings were those redeemed by the third girl.
Then Qinglian went to learn more about the third young lady and learned that she was the sister of Marquis Qingyuan and had a prominent family background. Kaiyun Pawnshop and Kaitai Manor were both properties of the Ji family.
This pawnshop and Kaitaizhuang have branches all over Jiangnan.
"I recently opened four cloth shops, and each shop is still in need of a man and a woman to help me attract business. In fact, it's not much different from your previous one. I have to rely on your looks to attract people." Ji Yunxi said slowly, "Are you willing?"
Qinglian suddenly raised her head and exchanged glances with the girls and gentlemen nearby. Without a word, everyone knelt on their knees.
What these people want all their lives is to leave those luxurious places and live a normal life.
What Ji Yunxi gave them was exactly what they could never reach.
Although everyone says that looks matter, there is a world of difference between a brothel and a cloth shop.
"Okay, someone will tell you the details." Ji Yunxi signaled Baofu to put away the indenture contract, stood up from the chair, and said, "How far you can go depends on your own ability."
The two walked outside.
Wu Weian appreciated her move and praised her, "Yun Niang is really good at calculating people's hearts."
Those young ladies from noble families have long wanted to meet the legendary Master Yu Yue.
But they all valued their reputation and would never go to a prostitute's house. As a result, Ji Yunxi invited them directly to her own cloth shop.
As for Miss Qinglian, many young masters have long heard of her fame in Jiangnan and want to meet her.
The most important thing is that these two people have been in the entertainment industry for so long, and they are the best at playing with people's hearts and eating people without leaving any bones.
If those young ladies and gentlemen enter the cloth shop, their wallets will be in danger.
"Not like An Lang." Ji Yunxi glanced at him, "This is the first time I've seen Qinglian, but you seem to have seen it a long time ago."
"Yes." Wu Wei'an touched the brocade bag and sighed softly, "This is also the first time I've seen Mr. Yuyue. I don't know when you, Yunniang, bought him back and kept him outside."
Chapter 57 What do you think I am going to do?
Ji Yunxi has been looking for suitable "high-traffic and good-looking waiters" for the four cloth shops these days.
All in all, opening these four cloth shops cost her tens of thousands of silver taels, and it would be difficult to recover the cost in the short term.
But her original intention at the moment was to grab the customers and business of Xingle Cloth Shop at any cost.
She was also referring to the dual model of when food delivery first entered the market in her previous life, where major businesses used low prices to attract customers and used popular celebrities to promote products.
Without business, Xingle Cloth Shop had no income. Without income, but with constant outflows, a funding gap was inevitable.
