Xia Shang wasn't sure, but he couldn't return it now. If the emperor found out that he had tricked his son, even if he returned all the things, he wanted to end the matter just like that? It was obviously impossible.
Xia Shang put the gold medal away again and wrapped it tightly in the package. He felt that for the present plan, he should quickly transfer the evidence.
Before the first person upstairs could finish singing a song, Xia Shang stood up and infiltrated into the crowd and left Shang Shang Ju.
Next door to Shangshangju, Xiaoxiaoyiju has improved with Xia Shang's meager investment. The removed decorations have been re-hanged, the door is open, and a girl is soliciting customers in front of the door.
Despite this, there are few people willing to come to Yiju.
Xia Shang once asked about Yiju, which is a famous bitch archway in Suzhou. Men in Suzhou shook their heads when talking about Yiju, saying that the girls there were too expensive, had too weird tempers, were untouchable, untouchable, and ridiculous.
No, so what if you are good-looking? Going to Yiju is just spending money to buy pleasure.
Xia Shang didn't really believe such rumors, but when he saw the situation in front of the door today, Xia Shang knew that it was not groundless.
The street was crowded with people. Although most of them came here for the first time, there were also many people who visited other buildings because of their progress. Only Yiju was deserted.
Xia Shang felt that he should ask. After all, he wanted to invest. Losing money was not Xia Shang's choice. He happened to have something that needed to be put away, so he simply went to the door of Yiju.
The person in charge of soliciting customers was one of the eight girls. Xia Shang did not know her name, but he had some impressions, so he asked: "Where is your sister?"
"Sister?" The girl in front of the door frowned slightly, as if she didn't recognize Xia Shang. After looking him up and down, she suddenly realized, "Are you that Mr. Xia?"
"What about this and that? Call your sister over quickly, I have something to discuss with her."
Xia Shang didn't regard himself as an outsider and walked straight inside.
The girl followed closely behind, unable to stop her even if she wanted to.
In Laiyiju, some new decorations and new furniture were indeed renovated, but compared to the luxury of Shangshangju, this place is still a few grades behind.
This is a two-story building with a hall downstairs and a small room upstairs. The structure is clear and simple.
There was no one in the hall, and it was deserted. Xia Shang frowned when he saw it. He went upstairs without caring about the girls behind him, and then opened the doors one by one. He didn't see a single guest, but he saw several girls hiding.
Sleeping in the room, wearing very little clothes, made Xia Shang full of eyesight, but also caused screams in the building.
The screams of the sisters soon attracted Miya. This girl was also sleepy, but she was wearing a bellyband and gauze on her shoulders. The scenery was very beautiful.
"What exactly happened?" Miya asked as she walked before she could see the situation clearly.
The other girls also came out and looked at the man standing in the corridor without saying a word, thinking that they all recognized Xia Shang, and saw that Xia Shang looked a little unhappy.
Miya calmed down and recognized Xia Shang: "Is that you?"
Xia Shang looked gloomy and went downstairs alone: "Put on your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Miya was shocked, overwhelmed by Xia Shang's momentum, and felt inexplicably guilty.
Seeing Xia Shang sit down in the hall downstairs, Miya glanced at the sisters: "You should also put on your clothes and come with me to take a look."
A quarter of an hour later, Miya sat opposite Xia Shang, with girls of different looks and appearance standing behind her.
Although he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he had no intention of appreciating beauty at the moment.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Xia Shang silently crossed his legs and glanced at the girls. Then he poured a glass of water from the kettle on the table and put it to his mouth without drinking it because the water was cold and he didn't know how long it had been there.
Xia Shang looked at the new tablecloth on the table, glanced at the various decorations in the hall, and finally asked lightly: "Tell me, how much money did you spend to buy these?"
Miya frowned and did not speak immediately.
Xia Shang explained: "You should know that my thousand taels of silver are not given away for free. I am investing. I should have the right to know where my money has been spent, right?"
Miya thought for a while: "I paid two hundred and eighty taels for the rent, spent another two hundred taels on new furniture and new decorations, and spent 500 taels on buying new clothes and jewelry for the sisters, leaving the remaining twenty taels to buy.
I bought some food, wine and meat.”
Xia Shang frowned: "As for the more details, I won't ask. Judging from the current situation, does it mean that the thousand taels of silver I gave you have been spent?"
Miya nodded.
"Then have you counted how many days have passed?"
Miya blushed and hurriedly explained: "Purchasing these should be able to cover the expenses of the building for a long time."
"Okay, let me ask you again, you have spent a thousand taels of silver these days, and how much money have you earned?"
Upon hearing this, Miya's beautiful eyebrows lined up and her head lowered: "No guests have come to the door yet."
"That is to say, after making so much money, you haven't earned even one tael of silver, right?"
Miya lowered her head and responded weakly: "Yes."
"Since there is no business, do you still want to sleep? Haven't you thought about how to run a good business?"
Xia Shang looked sulky, but Miya was still explaining: "Who said it wasn't well managed? Aren't there sisters soliciting customers at the door?"
"Then when did you make this tea? It's so damn cold! How can you drink it when the guests are here?"
"This...this is our business."
"I invested in you, and now it is my business. Now you have spent my money and bought things, but you have earned nothing. I just raise a few old hens, but I can still lay a few eggs, right?"
"Mr. Xia, who do you think is the old hen?" Miya stood up in anger, her face flushed.
Xia Shang smiled coldly: "Ha! Now you know you are in a hurry, right? I think there are just a few of you just living your days without making any progress. Let me just say, there is such a deserted place in the flower house in this world.
?Don’t blame yourself for not wanting to betray your appearance. The poor people in this world are much nobler than you, and I don’t see them being as messy as you are. That’s all, I’m kindly sending you money today.
, and seeing that you are like this, you don’t want to receive guests properly, so I’d better go find a girl from another flower house.”
After saying that, Xia Shang stood up and turned to leave.
Miya didn't speak. The sisters behind Miya couldn't sit still. Two of them immediately came up. One of them grabbed Xia Shang's hand and said with a smile on his face: "Master, don't be anxious. Master, don't be anxious."
Xia Shang spread his hands and looked at the two girls holding hands with him, with a slight mockery: "There are rumors from the outside that you are both untouchable and laughable. Jin is precious. Why are you hugging me like this today?"
When Miya heard this, she was very unhappy: "You all release your hands!"
But the two girls didn't listen: "Sister, if we let go, the young master will go elsewhere. How can we still live?"
"You...why are you so shameless? Have I ever treated you badly in terms of food and clothing? Quickly let go of your hands." (To be continued)
