I have seen four of the five brothels, and the last one is at the end of the street. It looks quite wide but is a bit older than the others.
"Sir, please come in and take a look. My place is older, but it is wider and cheaper than other places."
The mother who spoke was at least in her thirties, and her thick powder could not hide the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She looked so impatient that she wished she didn't even want to give away the money.
The rent has to be paid every month. If there is no business, the rent will be paid every month. Who wouldn’t be worried?
Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu walked in. The inside was similar to the others. There was a small round stage for girls to dance and sing in the middle of the lobby, and there were stairs on the left and right leading to the second floor.
When you go up to the second floor, there is a circle of railings. You can overlook the first floor by leaning on the railings. If there is a performance on the stage, you can have an unobstructed view.
Behind the railings were small rooms. Shen Yuhu counted twenty of them. They were indeed big enough. Looking down from the second floor, the first floor was spacious enough. If it were converted into a restaurant, it could hold at least thirty tables.
When I asked my mother the price, eighty taels of silver were transferred. This price, coupled with such a spacious building, was really tempting. It was a pity that it was located in such an alley. Ah Feng was only seven years old. Hanging around in the crowd will harm him for the rest of his life. Seeing Shen Yuxi shaking his head, my mother's heart dropped, but she still recommended it with a smile on her face.
"Girls and gentlemen, come with me to take a look at the backyard. The backyard is quite spacious, with a fish pond, pavilion and small garden. If the environment is so good and the location is good, how can you afford it if you don't have two hundred taels?'
Mom swung the handkerchief and stomped downstairs, taking the two of them to the backyard.
When he came to the backyard and took a look, Shen Yuyu's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to a door at the other end of the yard and asked, "Where does this door lead to?"
"Oh~~This courtyard gate leads to Tai'an Street." Mom hurriedly led Shen Yuyu over, opened the courtyard door, and pointed to an alley outside, "Going out of this is Tai'an Street. Young master, please Don’t you want to go over and take a look?”
Shen Yuyu said hello and followed her mother into the alley with Ji Xun.
The alley is not very wide, but it is more than enough for a carriage, and it leads to the outer road a few hundred meters away.
"This is Tai'an Street." The three of them walked to the entrance of the alley, and their mother pointed outside and said, "I just saw that you had a child, didn't you?
If there are children at home who go to school, then it will be convenient for me to live here.’
"Oh? What schools are there nearby?" Ji Xun asked.
"There are two private schools there, both of them are scholars." Mom said while giving instructions. "There are two larger academies there and there. By the way, the dean of the one in the north called Qinglin Academy was a Jinshi." Yes, very talented and learned."
"Mom, do you know all this?" Shen Yuyu asked strangely.
My mother smiled shyly: "It's embarrassing~~ I've been doing this for decades, right?"
Shen Yuyu shrugged, "Literati and poets in ancient times loved to visit places with fireworks. It was considered a trend. It was just like this if it wasn't much fun."
"What do you think of Yu Yu?" Ji Xun asked Shen Yu Yu calmly. Judging from his appearance, he must be very satisfied. Ah Feng went out to study in the backyard and was not affected by anything at all.
"Axun makes the decision." Shen Yuyu replied softly, if her husband can hold up the sky, of course she will give him a chance. Wouldn't it be nice to turn away from the shopkeeper?
My mother was quite confused when she saw the two of them flirting with each other. It was a bit weird for this couple to take over a brothel.
"Axun thinks it's okay." Ji Xun said calmly, "But it's the price."
My mother hurriedly said: "We can discuss it, we can discuss it, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the lobby and talk slowly."
The three of them entered the backyard and returned to the lobby to sit down. Ji Xun negotiated the price down to twenty taels in a few words, and finally settled the deal for sixty taels.
This time, Shen Yuyu really felt that Ji Xun was able to keep his composure. She admired Ji Xun's calm and sophisticated attitude, so her husband was really overqualified as a hunter before.
All the girls in my mother’s building have gone away. I am too old and lustful to keep a single customer. If I don’t transfer the building, I will lose all my capital. Someone here will take over and take care of how much money it has. It’s like getting rid of a big burden. , feeling relaxed all over.
The contract was immediately signed and handed over, and my mother packed up her bags and left.
After her mother left, only Shen Yue and Ji Xun were left in the huge brothel. Shen Yue propped her chin and looked up at Ji Xun like a little girl.
"Axun must be a good hand in business. Every word he says is so weighty." This is Shen Yuyu's true words. Her husband doesn't look like Orion in any way.
Ji Xun gently pinched Shen Yuyu's little nose.
Even though he wears the cloak of 'Orion', he was once the Night King, the emperor's most valued eldest prince. If it weren't for the rule of establishing heirs rather than elders, would Dasheng's crown prince now be Huangfu Yi?
"Don't worry, Yu Yu, my husband will help you with your business." He used assistance, but he did not care about his identity as the Night King. Although he always emphasized that he was Ji Xun, deep down in his heart, he had really forgotten that he was the Night King. Huangfuran?
But no matter who he is, he will grow old together with Yu Yu and stay together for the rest of his life.
There was no one around, Ji Xun's wanton eyes fell on the lady's pretty lips again, and Shen Yue took the initiative to pout. The building is estimated to be at least more than 700 square meters, with 300 square meters upstairs. 400 square meters below.
By then, the upstairs will be converted into twenty private rooms, and the lobby downstairs can hold thirty tables and fifty tables easily. The location is also very good. Guests can enter through Wanhua Street, while others can go through Tai'an Street.
And with such a big backyard, you don’t have to worry about running out of space for pickled cabbage.
They went to look at the kitchen again. Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun were also very satisfied. It was very spacious, but the stove needed to be replaced and it was not professional enough.
"There are several rooms in the backyard. Let's choose the one we like to live in." As soon as the words came out, Shen Yuyu felt something was wrong and hurriedly blushed and said, "Choose two rooms, one for each person."
"If you don't share a room, your husband can no longer live without you."
"Forgot the three chapters of the agreement?'
"Didn't I do it?"
The two bickered all the way to the backyard.
There are four rooms in the backyard, all of which are quite large, with smooth bluestone floors and are clean.
It just feels a bit musty after not living here for a long time. Shen Yuxi opened the window to let some air in. After moving in, the smell should be removed.
Among the four rooms, she and Ah Xun will live in one, Ah Feng will live in one, and the other two can be occupied by several brothers.
At that time, a lot of manpower will be needed. Brother Shen, second brother Shen, third brother Shen, plus Brother Xingwang, two rooms will be suitable for four people.
Shen Yuyu decided not to hire, but to form a partnership with them directly. We will discuss the details at that time.
After looking up and down, inside and out, and discussing how to modify it, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu went out from the backyard, took a detour to Penglai Tea House, and called Ji Feng and Shen Xingwang to go to the Yamen to see Zhang Neng off. .
