Following that day, Mu Houchu became busier as he was already quite occupied and the sudden occurrence of this incident made it impossible for him to stay at home with Xin He even though he wished to.
However, he never discussed the progress or outcome of the affair with Xin He, nor did she ask. He was usually already back late at night, so she couldn’t bear to disturb him when she saw how tired he was.
Fortunately, as things became clearer, they were no longer at a disadvantage. With Mu Houchu’s abilities, it would be difficult for anyone to put him at a disadvantage. Xin He had a positive mindset and put all her efforts into managing the Flower House.
That group of girls had started training early last year. Prior to being sent to Yihong Courtyard, Ji Xinhe had already casually taught them many things; how else could they have learned so quickly there? It could be better said that they had already mastered the skills rather than being taught by the Yihong Courtyard.
The teachings of Yihong Courtyard were of no use. The techniques that Yi Ling stole from her weren’t useful in the slightest.
Therefore, Xin He wasn’t worried about Yihong Courtyard training other girls in the same way.
Ji Xinhe held them to high standards, and thus she had no intention of pushing them to perform publicly soon. Instead, she honed them carefully for a couple more months before planning to promote them.
"The Spring Fashion Show is in three days, but you guys are still not going to perform this time. After stepping on stage in half a month, we can talk about it. Rest assured, you will not be forgotten at the Summer Fashion Show," Xin He instructed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The ten girls bowed in response, "Yes."
Pleasure crossed their faces. In the past few days, they had seen the glory of the leading courtesans in the Flower House. All their diligent learning and hard work was for the hope of enjoying such popularity one day, wasn’t it?
After sending the girls away with someone, Madam Chen turned to Xin He, "Madam, are we starting the advertising three days beforehand as usual?"
Xin He smiled and shook her head, "No need. The Flower House’s reputation is well-known now, and we have a foundation in Lian’an Town. We are not afraid of bandits. Since we’ve decided today, we can start advertising right away."
Before, all decisions were made with caution due to a lack of basis in Lian’an Town. Furthermore, she had to keep a low profile due to the menacing presence of the Sun Family, so she didn’t dare take any risk. That’s why she only started advertising three days before, to catch others off guard.
However, three days was too short for promotion. Now that they were well-established, naturally they didn’t fear making a big fuss!
Madam Chen was also very excited when she heard this, "Madam is right! I’ll send out the news now!"
Xin He suddenly said, "Wait."
"Does Madam have any other instructions?"
"The Flower House has gained significant popularity and is no longer the same as it was half a year ago. When we release the news, there might be so many people coming to watch that the entire Flower House will be packed. Therefore, we need to limit the number of guests. Moreover, this will help enhance our girls’ status."
The courtesans in the Flower House can’t be seen just by paying money. Just on this point alone, they are already several levels above courtesans from other Flower Houses.
"I checked a few days ago, and there are over thirty private rooms on the second floor. If we set up as many chairs as we can in the hall, it can accommodate over seven hundred people. So, send out invitations according to this number. Divide the invitations into VIP and regular ones. Guests can only enter with these invitations. Pay attention to something when sending out these invitations," Xin He mentioned.
Madam Chen listened carefully, fearing to miss anything. In her eyes, since Madam had made a specific instruction, there mustn’t be any mistakes!
"Our Flower House’s regular visitors must receive these invitations. Send someone to deliver them directly. Distribute the VIP and regular invitations according to the customer’s level of consumption in the past. In this way, at least two hundred invitations will be given out. All of them will be given for free!"
Madam Chen’s eyes bulged, "Giving out for free?!"
This would mean losing quite a bit of money!
Last year, it cost five taels of silver just to enter the Oiran competition. If you wanted a private room on the second floor, it would cost another hundred taels of silver. This year, these two hundred invitations are given out for free, including several private room seats. Madam Chen really felt the pain.
Xin He chuckled, "When doing business, how can you always think of making a profit? We need to make our customers feel valued. The Flower House is not just for doing business today. If we offer some benefits to our loyal customers today, not only will they remember it, but others will also feel that our Flower House is generous. All the money lost today will eventually be earned back."
Madam Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Madam is right."
"As for the remaining approximately five hundred invitations, sell them directly at last year’s price. That’s five taels of silver for a regular seat and a hundred taels of silver for a private room seat. Now, release the news and inform that we’re going to hold another grand event, and start sending out and selling these invitations in seven days."
When more people knew, they would rush to grab these invitations. Those who got the free invitations would feel how rare they were and know how much the Flower House valued them. And those who bought the invitations with money would be more willing to spend. In this way, it would be more beneficial for promotion.
Xin He had put a lot of effort into these ten girls, each one of them was a money tree. As it was their first time on stage, she would not tolerate any carelessness.
Madam Chen felt more and more excited as she listened, and kept saying yes, "Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll take care of everything!"
"I have always trusted you, Madam Chen. For now, focus on the Spring Fashion Show at the Winding Pavilion. There is no need to rush with the promotion. Just release this news first, and let’s focus on this after the show at the Winding Pavilion is over. Otherwise, it would confuse the priorities," Xin He instructed.
The Winding Pavilion couldn’t be neglected either.
"Yes." Madam Chen ran off in a hurry.
Shulan draped a cloak over Xin He and followed her out of the Flower House, "Madam, are we going back to the manor now?"
Xin He shook her head, "Let’s go to the Winding Pavilion first."
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw a familiar figure standing beside their horse carriage.
Xin He was surprised, "Little Firewood? Why are you here?"
Little Firewood stood obediently beside the carriage at this time, only talking to the coachman occasionally. He looked like a well-behaved child.
Seeing Xin He, Little Firewood gave a smile, "Madam."
"Did Xiao Bei get into trouble again?" Xin He asked with some suspicion.
