Xin He got up and was about to leave, and the old madam accompanied her all the way out, very diligently.
As Xin He was leaving, she happened to see a beauty coming out of a private room, followed by a man who was probably her guest.
The old madam hurriedly whispered in Xin He’s ear, "This is Leng Qing, our top courtesan here. Isn’t she beautiful?"
Xin He looked at her and nodded, "She is beautiful, but... her expression seems a bit too cold."
The old madam sighed and said, "Don’t laugh but the girl is good in all aspects except for her cold temperament. She doesn’t change no matter what, and she doesn’t like to smile either. Her face is so beautiful, but she can’t raise her value because she just can’t please her guests enough!"
Xin He raised her eyebrows with interest, "I think she’s not bad." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Huh?"
Xin He hooked up her lips, "I think her temperament is quite good, and I want this girl to be in my hands at that time. I like her."
The old madam, thinking that Xin He was into such herself, didn’t think much about it and replied diligently, "Yes, yes! Young Master Ji, as you command, I will make it happen!"
Just now, Ji Xinhe talked to her about not changing the madam, meaning that Flower House would continue to exist, and her position would remain the same, only with a different master in the future. Of course, she was happy because, after all, she was an old woman with fading charms. If she left, she couldn’t make a good living.
Staying in Flower House was somewhat a way out, so she naturally wanted to serve her future new master diligently.
After leaving the Flower House, Mu Houchu asked her, "What were you thinking just now? You were looking at that woman so intently."
Xin He smiled happily and raised her lips, "I just feel like I’m in luck. God let me find a treasure!"
Mu Houchu raised his eyebrows, "Treasure?"
Xin He held his arm, giggling, "This Leng Qing, I looked at her today, and I’ve already figured out how to plan for her in the future. With my packaging, her value will increase at least five times!"
Mu Houchu raised his lips, "That powerful?"
"Of course! In fact, beauties have various styles. They should show their most beautiful side as much as possible, instead of forcing themselves to become someone they are not. That’s the most important point! In the future, Flower House will surely let the beauties bloom!" Xin He said with determination.
Her eyes were brighter than the stars in the night sky at this moment, and it was clear that she had a good plan in mind.
——
On the afternoon of the next day, Xin He went to Hua Street again.
In the daytime, Hua Street was incredibly quiet, with almost no one on the streets. At this time, the girls were also sleeping, and all the Flower Houses had their doors closed.
Only the door of Flower House was already waiting for someone.
When the young servant saw Xin He, he excitedly rushed up and said, "I’ve been waiting for you, young master!"
Xin He laughed, "Let’s go in first."
"Yes, alright!"
The old madam had also been waiting for her, "I was really afraid you wouldn’t come. You left in such a hurry yesterday without leaving any information about your identity or address. What if I couldn’t find you? Wouldn’t the business be lost that easily?"
Xin He laughed, "Don’t worry, I said I would come today, and I would. How is your boss’s decision?"
Shulan and Xiaoyu followed closely behind. The two of them were not dressed in men’s clothing. It was perfectly normal for a young master to have two little maids by his side.
Shulan was feeling a bit nervous as she had never been to such a place before, but Xiaoyu was much calmer.
The old madam glanced at the two maids behind her and laughed, "Our boss said yes! I have already prepared everything here: the house deeds, the land deeds, the servitude contracts of the girls, and these lists. You can take a look."
Xin He smiled, "Indeed a straightforward person, what should I call you?"
"Everyone here calls me Madam Chen."
"I brought the banknotes too. Let’s sign the contract first. Get some paper and pen!" Xin He said.
"Yes, alright!"
After both parties signed the contract, the deal was considered complete. In fact, it was normal for the hidden boss behind Flower House not to appear. After all, their business was not limited to just this place. They just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, without any time for in-depth discussions. Xin He didn’t find it strange. Besides, once she got these deeds, Flower House would be hers!
After settling everything, Xin He said, "Since we’re almost done, let’s get familiar with the place next. Are the girls asleep now?"
The old madam hurriedly replied, "They’re not, they’re all waiting for you!"
When the girls at Flower House heard that their establishment had changed hands, they naturally felt uneasy. Who could sleep knowing that their fate was being handed over to a stranger?
Xin He said, "Well, call them all here."
"Yes! Alright!"
Old madam shouted loudly to the girls upstairs, "Girls, come out! Our new boss is waiting to meet you!"
As soon as her words fell, a group of girls came out, all curiously looking at Xin He. Xin He, however, sat there calmly, letting them look at her.
Today was about getting to know each other; she needed to know them, and they needed to know her too.
Old madam smiled, "This is our new boss!"
Everyone was clearly a bit surprised, probably not expecting someone so young to be capable of such a big business deal.
Some people even whispered, "When Madam Chen told us it was a young person, I didn’t really believe it. I never thought it would be true. Looking at her appearance, she’s only in her teens and already doing such a big business?"
"It must be her family’s money. How else could she earn it herself? But she is really good-looking. I’ve been in Lian’an Town for so many years, and I’ve never seen such a handsome young master. I heard that she’s particularly interested in Leng Qing, with a unique taste at such a young age."
This was followed by another round of low laughter.
Old madam hurriedly said, "Stop talking, let the boss have a good look at you."
Then she called the five top courtesans of Flower House forward, "Hua Rao, Ru Lu, Qiao Qiao, Leng Qing, Qing Lei, you stand in the front and let the young master have a good look."
The five girls went up to the front. Each of them had an extraordinary appearance. Being the top courtesans, even if Flower House was in decline, they naturally wouldn’t be bad. Yet, their numbers were limited, and their amazement factor was also reduced.
For instance, Leng Qing had a top-notch appearance, but her temperament was just too cold and unlikable, making it difficult for guests to like her. If not for this cold temperament, she could be competing for the title of Courtesan of Yihong Courtyard today.
It seems Xin He will have to carefully craft and polish these girls!
