There was wariness in Jiang Mu's eyes. She didn't say much to him, but turned her gaze elsewhere, thinking that she was a little disappointed before she had time to look at a few more pictures.

She randomly selected some calligraphy and painting books, asked Chuntao and Dongmei who followed her to pay, and was about to leave.

During this process, she could feel that the man was always observing her.

Thinking of the previous incident of the veil falling, Jiang Mu became even more curious about him, but she would not show it at this time.

After Jiang Mu left, Li Zaoji approached the inner room of the bookstore.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore saluted the man respectfully, "Sir."

Li Zaoji nodded lightly.

"Why did the young master come in person? Is there something wrong?" The shopkeeper stood in front of Li Zaoji with a low eyebrow.

Li Zaoji said coldly: "How did you do what I asked you to do?"

"Everything has been done according to the master's instructions. Here is the account book. Please take a look at it."

Li Zaoji took the account book and looked through it at a glance. It didn't take long to finish reading the entire account book, and he also picked out a few mistakes.

Sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead.

Although the man in front of him looked calm and gentle, it gave him a strong sense of oppression.

"Things were done well." Li Zaoji handed him the account book, "I'll give you one more thing."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Li Zaoji: "Did you see the girl who came to buy books just now?"

Shopkeeper: "You mean the woman in white?"

Li Zaoji: "It's her, check her identity."

The shopkeeper nodded, "Okay, where does the young master live now? Once I find out the identity of the woman, I will send the information to the young master."

Li Zaoji: "No, I'll send someone to pick it up at noon tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

…

Three days later, Xueteng brought Gu Jue back without any danger. She encountered several crises on the way, but she saved them all and passed them safely.

When Jiang Mu listened to Xueteng's report, he was frightened by those things. Thinking about the situation at that time, he felt that Xueteng was really powerful.

She praised Xueteng a few times, but Xueteng didn't seem to feel anything, and his expression didn't change.

Jiang Mu asked: "Where is Gu Jue now?"

Xueteng said: "I gave him medicine in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and he has been sleeping for the past few days."

Jiang Mu: "Okay, you can make arrangements and I'll go see him in a few days."

Xueteng: "Yeah, I know."

Jiang Mu thought for a while and then mentioned the matter at the shop, "How did you do with the other things I asked you to do?"

Xueteng: "Are you talking about redeeming the lives of those famous brothel prostitutes?"

Jiang Mu nodded.

"Miss Rouge from Zuiyan Building, Su Zhizhi from Yunxiang Building, Xia Xiaolou from Hanxiang Building... I have obtained the deeds of prostitution for these three people, and I have arranged for the three of them to live in the courtyard of Baima Alley.

"

Jiang Mu said in surprise: "Did you get all the deeds of prostitution from the three of them?"

Xueteng nodded.

"How did you do it? Did you bring it? Show me."

Jiang Mu was surprised. She was not sure about the rules of brothels in this world, but according to what she knew, it was very troublesome for the courtesans of brothels to redeem themselves, and they usually would not be released.

Xueteng took out a stack of deeds of prostitution and said, "They are all here. According to your instructions, there are also some ordinary-looking people with some talents. I have also redeemed them."

Jiang Mu took the deed of betrayal and read it for a long time. In fact, she couldn't quite understand it, but the seal and fingerprints were all there, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"How much did you spend to redeem them?"

Jiang Mu had an ominous premonition.

Xueteng: "I just spent all the money you gave me."

Jiang Mu rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

This money was two-thirds of her assets. Although there were many valuable dowries, they could not be touched. She kept some of the banknotes in her hand, and the rest were all taken by Xueteng, for fear of

She had no money and it was difficult to do things. Unexpectedly, she spent it all in just a few days.

She was very happy when she thought that she had spent a few hundred taels on shopping a few days ago and bought a lot of things. However, Xueteng had finished all the several thousand taels in just a few clicks. This was the real waste.

Jiang Mu held these deeds of betrayal distressedly.

This is all money.

"Why don't you bargain?"

Xueteng asked doubtfully: "Bargain?"

Xueteng had no idea about the amount of money, and she never bargained for anything. When she redeemed her body for the courtesans, the madam asked how much it was, so she just took the money, thinking that she had enough money anyway.

"

But looking at Jiang Mu's distressed look, Xueteng probably knew that she spent too much.

Jiang Mu waved his hand, "Okay, the flowers are all spent."

She calculated that she still had two thousand taels left. If she saved a little, it should be enough.

If this brothel cannot be opened, it will be a big loss.

In fact, she just wants to play, otherwise there would be no need to open this brothel, but she just wants to see the ancient times, and if she doesn't have a bit of fun, she doesn't know if there will be a chance after having fun.

Now it seems that I am indeed a bit impulsive, and many things are not easy to handle.

But there is no turning back, money has been spent and people have redeemed themselves, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward.

…

In the following days, Jiang Mu was extremely busy.

She only takes Xueteng with her when she goes out every day. After getting on the carriage, she starts to change her clothes and put on makeup. When she comes out, she looks like a different person. Thanks to Xueteng's disguise skills, Jiang Mu's previous appearance was gorgeous.

She is so charming, and after putting on makeup and disguise, she looks very heroic, even if acquaintances see her, they would not recognize her.

Jiang Mu went to meet the courtesans first.

Each one of them is extremely beautiful, and each of the three has his or her own style. Rouge is charming and charming, Su Zhizhi is a replica of Lin Daiyu, a cold and sickly beauty, and Xia Xiaolou is smart and pure, with eyes that seem to be able to talk.

When Jiang Mu saw the three of them, he suddenly wondered what he wanted from a man.

Aren’t the pretty sisters delicious?

This is too pretty.

Knowing that the person in front of her was the person who redeemed their lives, the three courtesans smiled at her at the same time.

Jiang Mu immediately changed her mind. Those brothels that only served sex customers were no longer open. She wanted to create a completely different entertainment venue with a modern mindset.

We can't let such beautiful sisters serve those stinky men.

Beautiful girls should be held in the palm of your hand, out of sight of men.

So Jiang Mu came to train the three oirans every day. After training them, he let the three of them teach others.

A week later, Jiang Mu came to check the results, and then kept those women who met his requirements, and gave the rest some silver coins, and left them to decide on their own. If Jiang Mu was willing to stay, he asked Manager Zhang to arrange it for them in the village.

If you don't want to stay, you can leave on your own.

I thought there would be very few people willing to stay, but I didn't expect that after these days of training, most people were willing to stay. They probably did it because Jiang Mu was a good person. They had food and shelter, and only two or three people wanted to leave.

At this time, the renovation of the restaurant was almost completed. Jiang Mu asked Xueteng to take her in for a look at it in the evening. Everything was renovated according to the drawings drawn by Jiang Mu.

The signboard was also put up, but it was covered with red silk to block the words.

The name was given by Jiang Mu, and it was called Xunhuanju. It was a bit tacky, but Jiang Mu quite liked it.

Xueteng asked: "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Jiang Mu looked around twice and said, "It's pretty good, but the paintings hanging on the wall don't look good."

Xueteng: "Then I'll buy new ones. What kind do you want?"

Jiang Mu: "No need to buy it, I'll paint it."

Xueteng was not curious either, so he just nodded and said, "Okay."

Coming out of Xunhuan Residence, Jiang Mu suddenly said, "Take me to see Gu Jue now."

Xueteng: "Now?"

It's already getting late, and the journey there isn't that close now, and it takes an hour to ride a horse.
