C14 Coincidentally X2 (1/2)
”Sigh!” ”The boss of the Emerald Cloud Pavilion is going back to his hometown.”
”You don't say. I don't know the reason why it's so close to the Plum Blossom. The lady in the Jade Cloud Pavilion is the prettiest.”
While Mu Zhihuan was drinking her tea and listening to the conversation of the people at the table behind her, a glint flashed across her eyes.
After filling her stomach, Mu Zhihuan rushed over to the Emerald Cloud Pavilion in a flurry. As expected, the doors were tightly shut.
After calming her breathing, Mu Zhihuan walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, a slightly plump and gaudily dressed woman walked out.
Staring at Mu Zhihuan, he impatiently sent her away, ”I don't accept girls here, don't go home.”
Was he treating her like a brothel girl who was selling her body?
Mu Zhihuan rolled her eyes in her heart, ”Mom misunderstood, I'm here to open a shop.”
”A shop?”
When the old procuress heard these two words, her eyes lit up. ”Aiyo, look at my mouth. Come in and let's talk. Come in.”
After walking to the Emerald Cloud Pavilion, Mu Zhihuan looked around. There was a three-storey wooden building with a huge staircase in the middle that connected each storey to the other.
The whole house gave off a very invigorating feeling. It seemed that the bawd had spent a lot of time and effort in this place.
”Lady, come sit. In this area, if you take over, you'll definitely be able to make money. ”
Mu Zhihuan politely received the old procuress's tea. She slightly muttered to herself, ”How much silver does mother want?”
”About this, look at all these new things …”
Before the old procuress could finish her sentence, Mu Zhihuan interrupted her, ”I don't want any of this. You can give it to someone else for cheaper treatment. I only want this shop, so you can tell me how much silver it is.”
”Sure, sure.”
The bawd's expression changed, but she quickly put on a smile, ”Fifty silver taels for you, how about that?”
50 silver?
Mu Zhihuan immediately rolled her eyes. According to the living standards of this era, fifty taels of silver was equivalent to more than a million taels in the 21st century.
”Mom, let's not beat around the bush. My store is here to make a makeup shop. There is a 'Falling Plum Pavilion' across the street. This is not a good place for me.”
Mu Zhihuan absent-mindedly stood up and took out the ring-shaped jade pendant from her waist. It was the one that Jiang Zisu had given her.
Mu Zhihuan glanced at the old procuress out of the corner of her eyes. Seeing the wonderful expression on her face, the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
”Miss, who are you …”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Zhihuan interrupted the old procuress, ”Who I am is not important. You only need to know that although our master has money, he is not stupid!”
Mu Zhihuan's voice turned low and her pair of cold eyes stared at the old procuress. The old procuress was so frightened that she directly kneeled on the ground.
