Summary of the previous chapter: On the day of the opening of the club, Emperor Zhu Youxiao and King Xin Zhu Youjian personally congratulated each other. Ma Xiaoquan presented the black gold wooden cards that had been prepared to Zhu Youxiao. After the emperor left, the club exploded...
..
"There are two chrysanthemum silver foil cards left. Who else wants to apply for them? Who else wants to apply for them?"
"I...I will pay one thousand two hundred taels"
"I will pay you one thousand two hundred and fifty taels!"
"Hmph, you two poor devils, I'll pay you one thousand four hundred taels!"
...
In a corner of the club, Ma Xiaoquan was drinking tea leisurely. The noise in the courtyard kept ringing in his ears, but it was as beautiful as a beautiful song.
Half an hour later, all the membership cards were sold out. Those who bought it laughed loudly, while those who didn't bought it were dejected and vowed to come back tomorrow.
Ma Xiaoquan put down his tea cup, walked up to everyone, and announced loudly: "Everyone, we will not apply for membership cards tomorrow."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard was stunned, and then the courtyard exploded.
"What, nothing? There are only ten cards."
"Master Butler, there are only ten cards. To put it bluntly, there are only ten people. What can ten people do?"
"Yes, Mr. Deacon, what do you mean by this? Can only ten of us who have applied for the card play?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his lips and said: "Everyone, I will not neglect those who have applied for membership cards. It is precisely because there are too many people applying for membership cards in our club, so I must limit the number so that everyone's identity can be reflected.
If any of you feel that your status is very low, you can cancel your membership card now! Well, the membership card limit I mentioned makes sense. I will let you know when it will be opened again."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said this, the ten people who had applied for membership cards stopped saying anything.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Of course, after applying for such an expensive membership card, I will naturally make everyone feel that it is worth the money. Everyone, please leave now. Early tomorrow morning, the club will send someone to greet you.
The ten people with membership cards, well, because there are differences between gold foil cards and silver foil cards, the way of greeting them is also different, so please look forward to it!"
After that, Ma Xiaoquan left without looking back.
As soon as the person in charge left, everyone present dispersed. Some people who refused to disperse stopped Li Qinghan and asked politely: "Madam Ma's eldest daughter, this...can you give the deacon some more money?"
Sir, tell me, let me have a chance to apply for a membership card."
Li Qinghan was also confused, but if Ma Xiaoquan said this, he must have his reasons.
Li Qinghan smiled and said: "My deacon has his own arrangements, please be patient and wait."
...
At night, the clubhouse was brightly lit, and Ma Xiaoquan gathered Li Qinghan and others for a meeting.
At the meeting, Ma Xiaoquan emphasized the pick-up plan for tomorrow. After hearing this, Li Qinghan's three daughters expressed their confusion.
Bei Mingxue said: "Ma Xiaoquan, it feels right to greet me, but do you have to distinguish them by color?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Of course, different membership levels mean different treatments. Well, I have already arranged it, so don't worry about it."
Dongfang Qingxue asked: "Even if they come over, what are they going to do in this club? Although the club is magnificent, it is full of entertainment and food. There are also other restaurants and tea shops in Beijing. What we have to do may not be as good as
They did a good job."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "No, no, no, I'm not here to let everyone eat and drink. Humph, the emperor arrived today and took the black gold muka... Three beauties, what do you think these people are thinking about?
What? They must be looking for a chance to meet the Emperor. I'm not bragging. Who in the world doesn't want to meet the Emperor? Because everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they get a little appreciation from the Emperor, they can become a phoenix.
, Hum hum, for example, I am a very good example!"
The three girls all rolled their eyes at Ma Xiaoquan.
"Pfft." The other confidants quickly covered their mouths, thinking that only these three aunts could treat the deacon like this. If it had been anyone else, they would have been punished long ago.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't mind the rolling eyes of the three beauties. He continued: "The purpose of my club is not to eat and drink, but... to make connections." Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes as he spoke. Li Qinghan saw that Xiu
He frowned slightly and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, why do I think you have bad intentions?"
Ma Xiaoquan smacked his lips: "What do you mean with bad intentions? This is a legitimate business, okay? Qinghan, after the club opens, you three should stay away from coming here."
"Why?" the three women asked together.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "If you don't mind seeing some scenes that you shouldn't see, just come here."
The three girls heard this and said in unison: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are so shameless!"
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and didn't explain much.
In fact, the scenes that Ma Xiaoquan said should not be seen were not as unbearable as the three women imagined. The main reason why he set up this club was to obtain as much information as possible.
Ma Xiaoquan has been in the Ming Dynasty for some time, but he still doesn’t know where the underground detector is. Although he will not grow old, today is different from the past. He is watching the Ming Dynasty decline day by day. It won’t be long before Wei Zhongxian Cholera will appear again.
Ma Xiaoquan and Wei Zhongxian were not on good terms with each other. After Wei Zhongxian gained power, the two would inevitably have a fierce fight, so... Ma Xiaoquan wanted to find the underground detector as soon as possible, and then lead the Ma family to leave here and go to the Ma family.
In the secret place guarded by Ning Yuan, Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what was behind the secret place, but he had a feeling that there must be the secrets he wanted and wanted to know.
...
Early the next morning, three sedans and two carriages set off from the club at the same time. The first sedan was purple-gold in color and decorated luxuriously but not ostentatiously. The two sedans at the back were relatively small and brown in color, which was also very distinctive.
decorate.
After the sedan are two carriages, the first carriage is more special and looks a bit European-style.
Ma Xiaoquan had placed an order for this carriage early. Fortunately, Zhang Jiude, the Minister of Industry, was capable and the order was given to him. Without a word, he ordered the craftsmen to make it according to the drawings drawn by Ma Xiaoquan.
The last carriage is much larger than the first one and can accommodate several people at the same time.
