He Wei

Xu Lang watched upstairs for a long time and finally understood the relationship between Jiang Qi and Qin Ji. He understood that there were too many difficulties in this brothel.

No woman is willing to fall into prostitution, or is forced by others or forced by life. It is only a last resort that she chooses to sell her body and appearance to maintain her life.

Ever since Jiang Qi disappeared from Xue Chengyu's sight, Xue Chengyu was thinking about one thing. Before he went out, he brought some banknotes but didn't know if it was enough, so he touched the banknotes in his arms and thought about it, and decided to buy a big one.

Since Jiang Qi left for a quarter of an hour and he didn't come back, Xu Lang sat back in front of the coffee table rather bored, and poured tea slowly.

"Xiao Lang, go down and ask mom to come up, I have something to discuss with her."

After hearing Xue Chengyu's words, Xu Lang was taken aback for a moment, then put down his teacup, and asked puzzledly, "What does the young master want her for?"

Xue Chengyu walked to Xu Hong and sat down, looked at Xu Hong and smiled, stroked his head and comforted him: "Don't worry, I don't look for girls for entertainment."

Xu Lang was not satisfied with this answer at all, curled his lips unwillingly, got up and went downstairs to ask the old mother to go upstairs.

In fact, Xu Lang really hated this place. The girls in the building were dressed too revealingly, and they looked at his young master like a weasel seeing a chicken. He wanted to swallow Xue Chengyu in one bite.

At this time, the old mother saw Xu Hong coming down the stairs, thinking that Xue Chengyu was looking for a girl for entertainment, and immediately went up to meet her. After learning that she was looking for something, her smile gradually disappeared, and she followed Xu Hong upstairs reluctantly.

Seeing that Jiang Qi was infatuated with Qin Ji, Xue Chengyu had long wanted to talk to his old mother about redeeming the piano, but it was a pity that he never set foot in the brothel and could not meet the person in charge of Tianxiang Tower.Now that we have this opportunity, we must grasp it well and make a pair of fateful mandarin ducks a reality.

"Mom also knows that it's my first time here. I don't know the etiquette of Tianxiang Tower, but I know that brother Jiang is infatuated with Miss Qin Ji, so I want to be the master to redeem Miss Qin Ji."

The old mother's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "redemption", and she said how Jiang Qi brought Xue Chengyu to the brothel for no reason, and the co-author was to take him away.

"Young master Xue has a good eye. You can tell the way after just coming here once. Qin Ji is the best violinist in Tianxiang Tower and the biggest money tree. If you want to move this money tree away, it will take a lot of effort." matter……"

Xue Chengyu took the tea that Xu Lang handed over, took a sip, and replied very leisurely: "Mom puts forward the conditions first."

The old mother snorted, and began to pinch her fingers to settle accounts with Xue Chengyuming: "Qin Ji is not from Tianxianglou, she just put her qin here to perform as a performer. But she pawned the phoenix in her hand to make a living and came to me to perform. Well, I spent 1000 taels to redeem that piano from the pawn shop, plus this year’s daily expenses, it would take 3000 taels to take it away.”

The price of "3000 taels" made Xu Wei tremble. 3000 taels is the hard-earned money that a medium-sized drug farmer has worked hard for more than ten years. , Xue Chengyu can't be this big boss.

But Xue Chengyu didn't take it seriously, thinking while turning the teacup in his hand.The room fell into silence for a moment, except for the noisy noise downstairs.

The old mother looked at Xue Chengyu's silence and thought that the asking price had frightened him. She said sarcastically, "Young Master Xue has thought about it for so long, but he has come to a conclusion? If not, don't waste time here, and don't learn other things if you don't bring money. People spend a lot of money to redeem people."

Xu Lang couldn't stand listening, and asked loudly, "Why are you talking?"

"Xiao Lang, don't be rude." Xue Chengyu stopped the angry Xu Lang, smiled politely, and reasoned with the old mother slowly: "Mom is not very shrewd in calculating the accounts, and I undercalculated by 2000 taels. Yes, 3000 taels can be earned overnight for businessmen.

But in the remaining 2000 days, Xianglou is gone without Qin Ji, a cash cow, it will take half a year to make money. After calculation, it seems that I still earn more. "

After all, the old mother has been running a brothel for many years, and she is the most meticulous in the calculation of redemption. Today, Xue Chengyu said that she undercounted 2000 taels, but she was not convinced, and asked, "Where is the compensation?"

"It costs at least 50 taels to listen to a song played by Qin Ji, and 200 taels in a private room. Based on the minimum 1000% of the monthly payment to pay the girls, ten people can earn [-] taels.

There are so many people in the audience, at least twenty, isn't it a loss of 2000 taels?I lost 2000 for one night today, wouldn't I lose more in two days? "

The old mother felt that what Xue Chengyu said was reasonable, she nodded in agreement, and said, "Wouldn't it be more difficult for you to remove Qin Ji, the great Buddha?"

Xue Chengyu snorted coldly. Sure enough, this old mother is a money-grubbing master, and she will not give up if she doesn't make a lot of money like him.

"I have a better way to make my mother earn more, please listen to me."

The old mother walked to Xue Chengyu's side, and after the two whispered for a while, the old mother was immediately ecstatic, shaking the handkerchief in her hand.

Jiang Qi and Qin Ji, who were in the backyard at this time, heard that Xue Chengyu was negotiating with the old mother about the redemption, and rushed upstairs in a hurry. When they learned that the old mother offered 3000 taels, their hearts ached, and they thought: What a lion Open your mouth, Xue Chengyu will be at a loss.Jiang Qi wanted to persuade Xue Chengyu not to do this, but Xue Chengyu didn't give him a chance.

Xue Chengyu took out a 500 taels of silver bill from his pocket and patted it on the table, "It's decided at this time, I will have Jiang Qi send the remaining 500 taels tomorrow, does mom have any objections?"

The old mother grabbed the banknote and looked at it seriously, then stuffed the banknote into her sleeve with joy, Xue Chengyu was extremely disgusted by the flattering smile on her face.

"No objection, no objection, Young Master Xue is so generous and has such a good plan that I admire him wholeheartedly. This fine phoenix is ​​yours. This is Qin Ji's contract. Please keep it, and if you have anything to do, just order— —" After finishing speaking, he left the room, and before leaving, he still didn't forget to close the door behind him.

Jiang Qi didn't understand what happened during the time he was away, he only knew that everything turned around too quickly, and he couldn't figure it out at all in his mind, so he asked in surprise: "This...what's going on here? Didn't it mean that Is it only 3000 taels to release people, why 1000 taels? You don’t know how to make deals with Xieyang, do you?”

Xue Chengyu didn't want to explain Jiang Qi's ignorance. He picked up the paper deed on the table, stood up and came to Qin Ji, and handed the contract to her very formally: "From now on, Miss Qin Ji, no, Miss Li means freedom." die, let alone stay in the land of fireworks without a guqin."

Qin Ji stretched out her hand tremblingly, and caught the thin contract, speechless for a long time.

She used to be a general's tiger girl, and her family deserved preferential treatment, but she didn't expect to be in the current situation. Not only did she live in poverty, but she was also forced by others. She lived in a brothel and was looked down upon by the world, and her pride and edges were completely wiped away.

"Brother Jiang has been longing for the girl for a long time but has never shown his heart. I really can't bear Brother Jiang to fall into the mud because of this, so today I made the decision privately and hastily made the decision to redeem the piano for you. I hope you two will forgive me."

Jiang Qi was so moved by Xue Chengyu's words that he had nothing to say, and knelt down in front of Xue Chengyu to thank him for his kindness.

He just wrote several years of travel notes for Xue Chengyu, allowing Xue Chengyu to see the world beyond the south of the Yangtze River. It is simply too heavy for Xue Chengyu to repay him with such a time.

"Brother Xue's kindness to Mr. Jiang will never be forgotten. Wait for him to say that he will prepare a generous gift and come to the door to thank him in person."

"Qin Ji also thanked Young Master Xue for his great kindness, and thank you Young Master Xue for helping Mr. Jiang with one thing in his heart and fulfilling us." After Qin Ji said, she also wanted to kneel down to Xue Chengyu. Xue Chengyu couldn't bear such a big gift, so he quickly reached out to stop her .

But Qin Ji insisted on kneeling, no matter how Xue Chengyu tried to stop them, she couldn't stop them, and she simply didn't stop them from kneeling with them.

"Kneeling is also kneeling, are you still planning to get up?"

Seeing Xue Chengyu speaking, the two stopped kneeling and supported each other to stand up.

"From now on, the two of you will live a good life, remember to invite me to participate on the wedding day, so that you can feel happy."

Jiang Qi and Qin Ji looked at each other with a smile, nodded and said: "Brother Xue will definitely be notified in the future."

"Then I'll wait for the good news. It's getting late, so I'll go first." He stretched out his hand to pull Xu Hong, "Let's go, Xiao Hong, let's go home."

Xu Hong stood up and followed me closely behind Xue Chengyu out of Tianxiang Building. On the way, Xu Hong was also very curious about the fact that the old mother only charged 1000 taels of silver. , can only hold back all the way.

When he was about to reach the gate of Xue's mansion, Xu Lang couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Master, didn't that person say that he would release him for at least 3000 taels, why did he give the contract to Miss Qin Ji for the last 1000 taels?"

"After I calculated the profit and loss for her, out of greed, she would definitely hold on to Miss Qin Ji, and if I brought up the matter of redeeming the piano again, she would definitely raise the price.

At this time, you need to tell her that you have a better way to make money, and she will be shaken. When she thinks this method is feasible, she will agree to this business method and give up the one that makes less money.

Because greed will make her eager to earn more, and then negotiating terms with her is just saying what she promises.I use this way of making money to get 2000 taels, so she is naturally willing. "

Obviously Xu Lang didn't understand Xue Chengyu's explanation, pouted and blinked his eyes, trying to make Xue Chengyu's explanation more easy to understand.

Xue Chengyu looked at Xu Lang's confused appearance and told him in the simplest way at the time: "In the end, it is to trade high-end goods for low-end goods at a discount, so as to reduce our expenses. This time I understand. Bar?"

Xu Lang understood such an explanation as soon as he heard it, and quickly nodded to show that he understood, and then followed Xue Chengyu and continued to walk in the direction of Xue's mansion.

He suddenly felt that the person in front of him suddenly grew up, and he also found that the current Xue Chengyu was even more incomprehensible to him.
