Summary of the previous chapter: After getting the guest house in Yinyue, Ma Xiaoquan immediately started soft decoration. After Li Qinghan assisted him in completing the soft decoration of the other house, Ma Xiaoquan also made the first batch of membership cards...
Li Qinghan had a look of admiration on his face and murmured: "It seems that joining the membership with one hundred taels of silver will not only make no money, but in total, it will also cost you a lot of money."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled mysteriously and played with the plum blossom gold foil card in his hand: "Well, I guess it won't be long before someone will fight over this little card, hum."
...
Three days later, the Heaven and Earth Club was officially opened. Since it was in a good location and there were many dignitaries coming and going, Ma Xiaoquan did not hold a special opening ceremony. On the contrary, he sent his men throughout Beijing to shout, "Heaven and Earth."
The Renjian Club is open for business, you must join to enter the club, the membership fee starts from 100 taels of silver, etc...
There are some clubs in Beijing, but no club has ever asked for a membership fee, especially 100 taels of silver. No matter who it is, it is not a small expense.
In less than an hour, the clubhouse was already crowded with people who came to watch the excitement. Of course, due to the high membership fee, no one has yet come forward to pay the membership fee and say they want to join.
In the courtyard of the club, Ma Xiaoquan greeted everyone watching the excitement with a smile on his face, while Li Qinghan beside him was anxious.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and still no one came to pay for the membership fee.
Li Qinghan gently pulled Ma Xiaoquan and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, what should we do? If no one comes, then the club won't...I think it's better not to get any membership cards."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and patted Li Qinghan's hand: "Don't worry, the show will start soon."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment and looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise. Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "The rightful owner is here."
After that, Ma Xiaoquan squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the club compound.
"The humble minister is here to greet you, Your Majesty. My Emperor is sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping..." Ma Xiaoquan half-knelt down respectfully.
"Pap tap tap..." The soft footsteps stopped in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
"Well, Ma Aiqing is flat!"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and stood up gently.
In front of Ma Xiaoquan was the current Emperor of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao.
Behind Zhu Youxiao, his younger brother Xin Wang Zhu Youjian also followed behind. They looked at each other with Ma Xiaoquan, and Zhu Youjian nodded lightly.
Ma Xiaoquan also bowed respectfully to Zhu Youjian, and then invited the emperor and the prince to enter the hospital.
When the emperor arrived, the formation was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although the courtyard was crowded with people, everyone spontaneously made way for the emperor and the prince to make way for two people to walk side by side.
Walking into the other courtyard, Zhu Youxiao chuckled and asked: "Ma Aiqing, I heard from my emperor brother that you are going to open a club today, so I came here to see it."
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Xin Wang Zhu Youjian gratefully and said respectfully: "Thanks to the emperor for your love, that's exactly what it is!"
"Well, I heard what kind of membership system your club adopts. Come on, tell me, what is the membership system?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and explained the club's membership system and membership levels to Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, Zhu Youxiao said with great interest: "Listen to this, eh, Ma Aiqing, do I have a membership card?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, clapped his hands, and immediately a servant presented an extremely exquisite rosewood box.
"Your Majesty, your membership card has been issued. You are the first member of Weichen Club." Ma Xiaoquan took the rosewood box and gently presented it to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the rosewood box carefully and praised: "This box is exquisitely made. It must have been made by a strange person. Well, Ma Aiqing, I like this box very much."
Zhu Youxiao picked up the rosewood box, played with it for a while, and then said: "The structure of the box is very good, and the seams have been well processed. Well, I like this box very much." With that, Zhu Youxiao said
The rosewood box was opened by the school.
A light fragrance suddenly emitted from the box, and the whole courtyard was instantly filled with a sense of warmth.
While everyone was still intoxicated by this light fragrance, Emperor Zhu Youxiao was completely stunned.
"This... this is the legendary Black Gold Wood... Ma Aiqing, this..." Zhu Youxiao shook his hands violently, and saw a piece of black light in his hand.
The brand is not big, but it exudes a mysterious and simple atmosphere.
The sign is engraved with a single line of characters in small seal script: Be blessed by heaven and live long and prosperous life.
Zhu Youxiao kept nodding his head: "Very good, very good. I have been looking for the Black Gold Wood, but I have never been able to find it. Ma Aiqing, I accepted your gift. I like it very much."
, like it very much”
Ma Xiaoquan half knelt down and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"
Xin Wang Zhu Youjian came over and suggested: "Brother Emperor, Deacon Ma's club has just opened. Well, there were rules for joining the club just now. Brother Emperor, if you get this special brand, do you have to pay some membership fees?"
, I’m afraid it can’t be justified if you are dissatisfied with the show, haha..."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Well, that's right. I can't take the membership card for nothing. Well, my dear brother, how much do you think it will cost?"
Ma Xiaoquan said quickly: "Your Majesty, how can a humble minister ask for your money? This is absolutely impossible."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Huh? You can't say that. I am also a human being. What's more, this club is very close to my palace. When I have time in the future, I can come and have a look."
Zhu Youjian said: "Since the emperor is so elegant, I think it's easy to refuse Deacon Ma who offers money or other rewards. How about this? I suggest that I promote Deacon Ma to one level. What does the emperor think?"
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said happily: "Well, that's fine, Ma Aiqing, I will raise you to the first level. Well, you were from the second rank before, right? From today on, you are the full second rank."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, but then he felt overjoyed.
"Weak minister Ma Xiaoquan, thank you Lord for your kindness."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Get up, that's it. I won't stay here any longer. Ma Aiqing, I wish you a good run at the club." With that, Zhu Youxiao led everyone to leave slowly.
As soon as the emperor left, there was an explosion in the Heaven and Earth Club.
People who were still waiting and watching took out their money one after another, clamoring to apply for membership cards.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and announced on the spot that he could only apply for ten membership cards today, including one plum blossom gold foil card, two orchid gold foil cards, three rain bamboo silver foil cards and four chrysanthemum silver foil cards.
When everyone heard that there was still a limited number of membership cards, they started to increase the price. The chrysanthemum silver foil card, which was originally available for one hundred taels of silver, was sold to one thousand taels in less than a while. As for the prices of other membership cards, that's
