Chapter 50 Opening (Part 1)
At the end of May of the 12th year of Jianwu, military reports came from the north that the Turkic army captured Youzhou, and the army continued to move south, pointing directly to Jining, Shandong. The entire Hua Dynasty, from temples to markets, was extremely frightened. In order to avoid the disaster, the people in the north fled south.
Half a month passed in a flash, and there was no news about the 20,000 elite troops led by Feng Qiudao. According to Fang Zheng's plan, he had already dispatched his work and sneaked into the Turkic army's barracks. Just wait for Feng Qiudao to succeed, the rumors will immediately spread throughout the barracks like a plague.
The Fang family's business in the north has long been closed, and people on the counter have also been recalled one by one. In order to ensure stability, Mr. Fang even sold several shops in the north at a low price.
Young Master Fang has been very busy recently. The first business he negotiated, Ruyuzhai Semi-Code, is about to open.
"It will open tomorrow. We will make the invitation more exquisitely. We have to look at the top-notch. We go to Qinhuai River to invite some girls, wear uniform clothes, stand at the door, line up to welcome guests, put more flower baskets at the door, what? I don't know about flower baskets?... I can't communicate with you ancient people..."
"Little bad guy, you have a lot of tricks. How did you come up with these tricks?" Feng Jie gave Fang Zheng a charming look.
"Hehe, Sister Feng, I have more tricks in other aspects. Do you want to try it?" Fang Zheng said with a wicked smile.
Sister Feng spat and said, "Little bad guy, just be bad. You know how to take advantage of your sister all day long, don't you know how to do something meaningful?"
"Hehe, if I don't harm others, I will contribute to society..."
Mr. Wu doesn’t count? Anyway, I think he was feeling very... grateful when he left?
"Is there any other idea?"
"...I'm wondering if I'll have another ribbon cutting ceremony? I don't know how to cut the ribbon? It's just a long red cloth with a bunch of lumps on it. Then we and a few VIPs took the scissors and cut the lumps. After cutting it, they threw the lumps on the plate..."
"What kind of ritual breaking is all boring." Feng Jie rolled her eyes and said.
"...It's right, it's too much, so you can save as much as you can. This step is exempt, you can put a few firecrackers."
"That's all right?"
"If there are no matters, the people under our business will add them. Don't worry, it's absolutely foolproof. Sister Feng, please be your cold and beautiful boss lady."
"Go! I'm the boss's wife, what are you?"
"We have a partnership, of course I am the boss, haha."
On the first day of the sixth month of the 12th year of Jianwu, it is auspicious day for zodiac signs. It is suitable for marriage and opening a business. There are no taboos.
The weather is clear and cloudless, and there is a cluster of traffic on Shichengmen Street north of Jinling City.
In the early morning, more than twenty women dressed in colorful clothes were all beautiful and charming. They were wearing the same style of red palace tulle long skirt, holding small bamboo baskets filled with flower petals, and laughter. They all walked along the way, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The beauties stopped in front of the shop with red silk at the door. Then a friend in the store brought out a Persian red wool carpet and spread it out. The carpet was about several meters long and more than meter wide, covering all the open space at the door and extending to the street.
After the carpet was laid, the beauties slowly and evenly sprinkled the petals in the bamboo basket in their hands on the carpet. The fragrance was so strong that they would be drunk when they smelled it.
The petals scattered, and the beautiful people were divided into two teams, arranged in the shape of a geese at the door of the shop, holding their hands in front of the abdomen, and staring at every pedestrian passing by with a smile.
There are more and more people gathering at the entrance of the store. Everyone is curious. With such a big scene, they are both flowers, beauties and carpets. The way is novel and unique. What exactly does this store sell?
Until the sun came out, there were already layers of people gathered at the door, and even the streets of Shichengmen occupied half. However, except for more than twenty beautiful women standing with smiles at the door of this shop, the door was still closed with no movement.
After a while, two carriages drove from afar, and the horse's hooves hit the bluestone slabs on the street, and a crisp sound of hooves came from the silence.
The carriage stopped in front of the store. A young man jumped out of the carriage, with his face as white jade, his nose as hanging on the gallbladder, his red lips and white teeth, and his appearance was graceful. He was wearing a white long gown, his collar and sleeves were decorated with blue lace, his feet were wearing small morning boots with green satin foundation, and his waist was full of blessings and blessings. He showed his style when he raised his hands, and his every step was full of energy. Unfortunately, he always had a bit of a terrifying smile on his face, which made the whole picture look a lot.
The young man ignored the gaze and whispers of the onlookers, walked straight to the carriage behind, reached out and gently helped a stunning woman down.
This woman is in her twenties, with a pink face, charming bright eyes and bright eyes, pink face and red lips, tall figure, fair skin than snow, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, wearing a white garland like a gauze, as if walking in the smoke and mist, and a string of pearls hanging on her neck, emitting a faint halo, which makes her look like she is wearing a pink jade.
Needless to say, these two people are the owners of this store, and Fang Zheng and Feng Jie are also.
The two got off the carriage and walked slowly to the door. Fang Zheng looked left and right with a stingy head, looking at the two rows of beautiful women who were as beautiful as flowers and were amazed.
Sister Feng glared at him and said, "Little bad guy, what are you looking at? The guests are coming soon. Remember that you are the big boss, don't mess around and lose face of our Ruyuzhai."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Feng, what else do you have to worry about doing things? I'm just wondering, where did you find so many beauties? They are really girls in Qinhuai's pleasure boat?"
Feng Jie chuckled and said, "I have a strong relationship with the mothers of several brothels. If you open a semicolon in Yuzhai, you need the help of their girls. They lend me these places without saying a word. The girls will train them a little, but they are quite good."
"Wow, this is a big deal, how much money did it cost?"
"Not much, only one thousand taels."
Fang Zheng frowned slightly in distress: "There are too many. Can you discuss with these girls and not pay the money, can you pay the meat? I personally pay the meat."
Sister Feng gave him a funny look: "You, you'd better pay for your sister Yanran. We can do it without the boss selling your sexiness."
After spending many days together, Feng Jie already knew that Fang Zheng had a concubine in the house, and she was actually a girl named Yanran who was famous in Qinhuai. After Yanran was redeemed that day, she mysteriously disappeared, which made many literati and scholars sigh and regret that Jinling had lost a big treasure. Who could know that this treasure had been hidden in the golden house by Master Fang and was kept in the deep boudoir? It was a disadvantage of Fang Zheng, a playboy who could not become a martial artist.
"It's not easy to start a business, so you can save as much as you can. I'm willing to contribute to Ruyuzhai. I'll just count my dividends at the end of the year."
"You are so beautiful,...Huh? Who is coming?" Feng Jie suddenly looked at the streets in Nantou in surprise.
Fang Zheng looked at him and saw a group of people and horses from afar, about a hundred people, and a luxury gold-edged carriage with four horses in the middle. Next to the carriage was a ceremonial guard holding a banner, a sword, a stirrup stick, a squad sword and other ceremonial guards. In front of him, soldiers sounded the gong to open the way, and pedestrians dodged to the side to avoid it.
"What a big show, who is this?" Fang Zheng squinted. Master Fang was very unhappy. Xiao Lu deliberately spent a lot of time dressing him up like a handsome young man in the turbid world. While looking at him, a carriage stole his limelight. How could he not teach Master Fang to be secretly angry?
I thought the carriage was just passing by, but I didn't expect it to stop in front of Fang Zheng's shop. A small yellow door holding a whisk came out of the ceremonial guard and sang in his sharp voice at the onlookers: "His Royal Highness of Dahua Fu is here--His Royal Highness of Dahua Changping is here--"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man with a bloated body walked out of the carriage, wearing a purple four-clawed python robe, with a simple face, slow movement, and a faint smile.
Then a pretty girl jumped off, wearing a pink palace skirt, with dense patterns embroidered with collars and a pink collar. She had a pink face with goose eggs, her eyes were dark and clear, her cheeks were flushed, and her body exuded a youthful and lively atmosphere.
These two people are none other than Fatty and Changping. When the onlookers saw that the person coming was a prince and a princess, they were all shocked and bowed and kowtowed. For a moment, the noisy scene became silent. Until the little yellow gate shouted that they were flat, everyone began to whisper.
The fat man and Changping got off the carriage and walked towards Fang Zheng with a gentle smile on their faces. Before they got close, they smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Fang for opening today. My sister and I came to congratulate you. How about it? I wasn't late, right?"
Fang Zheng gave him a hateful look. This kid was even more cool than this young master's appearance, which was really unbearable.
"I said fat man, are you here to congratulate me today or to smash the venue? Look, there are so many people who are so scared by your brothers and sisters that they dare not speak out. Others are busy opening their businesses. It's better for me to be like a funeral, it's not bad." Fang Zheng gave him annoyed.
The fat man was so nervous that his fat hand was swaying: "Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, today is a great day, don't talk nonsense, am I here to support you? Look, I even use the ceremonial guards that I don't use on weekdays, isn't it just to support you?"
Fang Zheng thought about it and his face suddenly slowed down and he said with a smile: "For your support, I won't blackmail you today, but I can't lose red envelopes, I'll give you a 50% discount."
When Feng Jie, who was standing beside him, she was so nervous when she saw the prince and the princess coming. When they approached, Yingying bowed and said, "Men's daughter pays homage to His Highness, Princess Changping."
The fat man looked at him and saw Sister Feng's stunning face. He couldn't help but glance at Fang Zheng strangely, but said, "Don't give me a gift, is this Brother Fang's partner?"
Sister Feng replied quietly: "It's the same as the young lady."
The fat man smiled bitterly and looked at Changping again. This heartless girl, if you don’t seize the opportunity, there will be more and more beautiful women around Brother Fang. It depends on what you will do.
Changping was unhappy when he saw Sister Feng. His pretty face was tight and his mouth was pouting. This fox charming boy had some idea of instigating this unconscience-free partnership to open a shop and ask for money and manpower. This princess has some, why didn't he come to me to join me? It must be that the fox charming boy seduced him so much that he was so stupid.
Seeing Fang Zheng and his brother talking and laughing, Changping jumped to Fang Zheng suddenly, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Hey! You bastard... Uh, what are you doing these days? Why don't you come to play with me?"
Fang Zheng’s biggest headache now is the willful princess. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I’m busy, big and small things, so why should I work on my work? Do you think they are as idle as you?”
After saying that, Fang Zheng was stunned. When could my buddy say this? It seems that only those successful elites kept the word "busy" all day long to prove that he is a pillar. If the country lacks him, there will be no chance, and if the people lack him, they will not be able to live...
