Just when Qianru was hesitant, Zhao Xianer appeared.
Zhao Xianer's bun is very unique, which makes her whole person's temperament bright and refined, like a fairy left behind in the mortal world.
As soon as she appeared, many passers-by couldn't help but stop and admire her beauty.
Even Qianru looked a little crazy and didn't come back to her senses until Zhao Xianer walked in front of her.
"Sister Zhao, you are so beautiful!"
Zhao Xianer smiled, took her hand and walked towards the half-faced peach blossom.
"A woman is 30% beautiful and 70% groomed. We have a shopkeeper named Wen who is the best at this. She invented my peach blossom bun."
"What a talent!"
"The five shopkeepers in our Banmian Peach Blossoms are all talents in the industry. In addition to shopkeeper Wen who is good at dressing up, there is also shopkeeper Xia who is good at making fragrances, and there is also shopkeeper Tao who is good at making money."
With so many talented people gathered, no wonder the business is booming.
At this time in the morning, there was little business in the singing and dancing studios on the entire street, and most of them were not even open. However, one-third of the people in the half-faced lobby were occupied.
Zhao Xianer led her to the private room to drink tea with a happy face. When Qianru saw that the room was more luxurious than the ones she had ever entered before, she immediately did not dare to go in.
"Look at you, do you still have to pay for coming to my place?"
Zhao Xianer smiled cleverly and pulled her in.
It wasn't that she was afraid of wasting Zhao Xianer's money, but it was hard to speak.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xianer's thoughts were revealed in just a few words.
Zhao Xianer not only knew about the restoration of Prince Gui's eldest grandson Ji, but also knew that she was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion last night.
Banmian Peach Blossom's well-informed knowledge far exceeded her imagination.
"If you come to me, will I still turn you away? Am I so narrow-minded?"
Qianru hurriedly explained, telling her everything the passers-by said and the worries in her heart.
"No matter what, I will never miss your future, Sister Zhao."
Zhao Xianer smiled from ear to ear, as bright as a peach blossom in full bloom.
It turns out that the so-called princess was completely false.
Although Banmian Peach Blossom has its roots in the former Haitang Pavilion, in the final analysis it is a newly opened song and dance studio and is not well-known.
All these are just business methods thought up by the shrewd shopkeeper Tao.
They call it "stunt making."
Everyone is talking about peach blossoms after dinner, and the business here will become more and more prosperous.
Speaking of her proud moments, Zhao Xianer told her softly that the profit of Banmian Peach Blossom was five times that of Haitang Restaurant before.
Qianru was shocked and speechless.
But Zhao Xianer frowned, "It's a pity that these profits have to be divided among five people, and they are divided according to individual contributions. Last quarter, Sima Jiuniang took the lion's share, followed by Shopkeeper Tao, Shopkeeper Wen, Shopkeeper Xia and I only shared
I got 30%, and I got very little of this 30%.”
The more Zhao Xianer talked, the angrier she became. Although she was angry, there was nothing she could do about it. How could she have nothing but the title of the number one singer in the capital?
"Alas! Even though it's only a very small share, it's better than the exhausting work I did running the Begonia House in the past, and in the end I lost everything."
Qianru thought that since she came to seek refuge with Zhao Xianer, she should help out with some things, so she took the initiative to ask for help.
Zhao Xianer was just complaining and said it casually, but she didn't expect the stubborn Qianru to change her mind. Suddenly her eyes lit up and the sadness on her face disappeared.
"Sister, you have extraordinary talents and can sing and dance. If you are willing to help me, I will definitely make a lot of money. I'm afraid you just did it on a whim."
Seeing that Zhao Xianer was a little too excited, Qianru quickly expressed that she still had not changed her original intention and did not want to go on stage to dance and sing.
"It doesn't matter, even just writing lyrics is good. You don't know how much the guests liked the lyrics you wrote for me before, especially the ladies and ladies from aristocratic families."
Zhao Xian'er said that she had another idea to make money, so she went to invite shopkeeper Tao over, told her about Qianru's situation, and asked her to create a "gimmick" for Qianru.
Shopkeeper Tao was full of witty words and praised Qianru to the point of ecstasy.
"There once was a talented woman named An Qianru in the capital. She has the same name as her and is equally talented. You deserve to be famous! However, with such a good foundation, I have to carefully consider what kind of gimmick you want to create."
Shopkeeper Tao thought about it for a while, then clapped his hands and applauded.
"How about we create a 'Three Beauties of Allure'? Our business is nothing more than sensual art.
The word 'sound' must belong to Shopkeeper Zhao; Miss Qianru can write good lyrics, be proficient in calligraphy and painting, and has already become famous in singing and dancing, so the word 'art' is well deserved.
As for the word 'color', the most popular one among us is Miss Qianwen."
Shopkeeper Tao's idea was excellent, but Qianru had some concerns. After all, she was not going to go on stage. With such a big reputation, what should she do if guests clamored to go on stage or accompany her with drinks or something?
"Sister, you are too worried. You are famous for your talent, not your beauty. Those jobs will not be assigned to you."
Qianru finally felt at ease when she saw that shopkeeper Tao also thought so.
Shopkeeper Tao said that she just came up with a name in a hurry, but she had to think carefully about how to do it, and she would have to discuss it with several other shopkeepers later before making a decision.
Zhao Xianer said many sweet words and gave the precious jade bracelet she wore to Shopkeeper Tao, begging her to think more of Qianru.
It was so profitable, but Shopkeeper Tao couldn't bear to refuse. He said readily that he would do his best to satisfy them.
Zhao Xianer was so happy that she immediately ordered people to prepare fine wine and food to celebrate with Qianru in advance.
Just as I was enjoying the meal, Sima Jiuniang barged in.
Seeing that the smile on Zhao Xianer's face had disappeared, Qianru suddenly remembered that Sima Jiuniang once said that she had the final say in hiring people, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the other three shopkeepers arrived soon after.
Zhao Xianer's expression immediately relaxed and she hurriedly called for more bowls and chopsticks.
Shopkeeper Tao was really quick in thinking. As he spoke, he adjusted the abacus. As soon as he finished speaking, the accounts were settled.
Shopkeepers Wen and Xia saw that the "Alluring Three Beauties" gimmick was quite profitable, and they couldn't bear to object, but Sima Jiuniang's face was particularly gloomy.
"In business, you only see the profits, but not the risks. An Qianru is not an ordinary woman. She offended King Gui and aroused the hatred of many powerful people in the capital. This matter cannot be handled well. We are half-hearted.
It’s going to close down.”
Shopkeepers Tao and Xia were shaken when they saw Wen and Xia, and smiled, "Although people in our line of work are most taboo about offending powerful people, who among us has never offended powerful people? The more powerful the offending person is, the more powerful he is.
The more capable you are."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Wen thought so highly of her, Qianru took the courage to stand up and defend herself, "I heard that the emperor issued an imperial edict that no court officials of third rank or above, as well as children of the royal family, are allowed to enter the hook fence, as long as I don't go out to deal with King Gui.
, then I won’t offend him again.”
"I really think I'm a toy!" Sima Jiuniang stood up and slapped the table, pointing at Qianru and spitting, "To deal with you, why do I need to do it myself? Just send someone."
As a last resort, Qianru had no choice but to take out the token rewarded by King Luo.
Sima Jiuniang didn't expect that she would be carrying such a treasure, and she was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak.
Shopkeeper Tao seized the opportunity, asked Shopkeepers Wen and Shoppers Xia for their opinions, and brought out the contract to deal with Sima Jiuniang, "Miss Qianru is an extraordinary employee. Now four of our five shopkeepers have agreed to use her, so please, please
Jiuniang, you are so considerate."
"Hai Hanhan? You all know that I have a grudge against this little hoof, but you still insist on using her. Don't forget, the house deed and land deed of Banmian Peach Blossom belong to me. I just don't agree with this matter, I don't agree with it!"
When Zhao Xianer saw that the three shopkeepers Tao, Wen and Xia had stopped talking, she was worried that things would go wrong, so she had no choice but to sacrifice her dignity and go to toast Sima Jiuniang in person to apologize.
But Sima Jiuniang didn't show any mercy at all, and directly raised the wine glass.
There was no other way, so Zhao Xianer had no choice but to persuade Qianru to toast Sima Jiuniang.
In the past, Qianru would never have been able to say such extremely hypocritical words.
But reality is pressing. For the sake of life and revenge, this tone must be endured.
So, she tried her best to put on a peaceful smile, walked step by step to Sima Jiuniang, thanked her for her kindness in nurturing her in the past, and asked her to show her respect.
Although Sima Jiuniang couldn't swallow this breath, she had invested all her life savings. She had to endure everything until the capital was recovered.
For the sake of the word "tolerance", she reluctantly accepted Qianru's apology wine, which was regarded as a promise to join her with half a peach blossom.
However, Sima Jiuniang has a condition, that is, she wants Qianru to dance on stage.
"No matter how well you praise her, how can you achieve the effect if the guests haven't seen her?"
Shopkeepers Wen and Xia also think so.
Fortunately, shopkeeper Tao was very articulate and smoothed over the matter for her easily.
"The three beauties of Qingcheng are all different. Miss Qianwen is a dancer. If Miss Qianru dances again, it will be detrimental to us."
The cunning Sima Jiuniang seized the opportunity and asked shopkeeper Tao to change "Three Beauties" to "Double Shu" so that sisters Qianru and Qianwen could compete on the stage.
Shopkeeper Wen thinks it's very good, after all, it's more real on the surface.
Shopkeeper Xia felt that this not only killed Qianru's talent, but was also too cliché.
Shopkeeper Tao was also confused as to whether it was "three beauties" or "two beauties", so he simply persuaded Qianru and An Qianwen to have a competition in the peach blossom forest in the garden.
As she retreated again and again, Qianru felt increasingly conflicted.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the scars all over his body would solve this problem for him.
With the reality before his eyes, Sima Jiuniang had no choice but to admit the "Three Beauties of Allure" originally planned by Shopkeeper Tao.
However, Qianru was stumped again when it came to "living".
Every inch of Peach Blossom's land is now at a premium. Except for Sima Jiuniang, who has her own bedroom here, the rest of them are placed in the house next door.
If you can't live here, your life is not guaranteed again.
