Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Flowers and Wealth Go hand in hand

Yu Xuanji showed a happy smile on his face, and then he returned to his calmness and asked tentatively: "Mr. Cao, you don't receive any rewards. Do you want me to do something?"

Cao Yi was still smiling on his face, but he was complaining in his heart. As expected, sometimes chatting with people who are too smart can't follow the normal pace and must have to jump in thinking. "That's right, Youwei, I want to ask you to be the spokesperson, for a paid."

"Spokesman?" Yu Xuanji asked with a beautiful brow frowned.

"Well, I just want to hire you to be the image spokesperson of our Huayu Soap. Whenever others mention you, they may mention the soap you endorsed by the way. When you mention the soap, you can immediately associate you. I want to quickly increase the fame of Huayu Soap through your popularity and influence in Jiangning City, help us open up the market, and let those in Jiangning City either wealth or noble can quickly accept it."

Yu Xuanji let out a long sigh, and he secretly said: I thought it was the endorsement in "Shangshu". I couldn't do anything like drafting articles and writing notices for you. But how did Mr. Cao think of the word spokesperson? The spokesperson, the spokesperson, really hoped that I could stand up and say good things to the soap he had. Isn't this the spokesperson? Hehe.

"Yes, yes, what specific work I need to do and what benefits can I get?" Yu Xuanji carefully asked about his efforts and gains, just like a star who wanted to sign an endorsement contract in the future.

"Well, for specific endorsement work, I will borrow your reputation in the early stage and let you authorize us to use your name. For example, I will erect a billboard at the main street of Jiangning City, that is, the card list. It may be written on it, "Yu Xuanji everyone's favorite flower soap, the best bathing product, ten days of use, white as snow, twenty days of use, and creamy skin, and then maybe you will come out to help us stand on the platform at a certain important moment, but the number of times will not be too many, and it is mainly based on your wishes, and there will be an additional fee for each platform." Cao Yi said carefully and added at the end.

"If you have the benefits, we can sign an agreement. I will provide you with a free set of Huayu soap every month, that is, four pieces of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The price of this soap for sale is always the same, and it must be a Tian-level VIP card to buy it. And I will also give you an extra ten-month monthly fee as the spokesperson."

"Wouldn't I be rewarded at least 14 jin of money every month?" Jin'er next to her suddenly spoke in surprise. Then she saw everyone looking at her, and stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to pretend that nothing had happened.

Cao Yi smiled and said, "It can be understood so too, it's just

These four pieces of soap cannot be discounted. Of course, you think you can’t use four pieces a month. You can give it to others or resell it to others. We will not interfere."

The conditions are actually very good, but Yu Xuanji felt a little uncomfortable with the card list that Cao Yi said before that it was her favorite thing to use in bathing. In this era, women naturally valued privacy in this regard. Even though she had become a brothel girl, she is at least just a kabuki instead of a prostitute, and she still retains her unknown persistence in her heart, so she still has a little resistance to this endorsement.

Seeing that her lady was standing there and didn't say anything, Jin'er quietly walked to the next side, which was attached to Yu Xuanji's ear and whispered. Cao Yi didn't hear it very clearly, but he just vaguely heard "...save money...redeem your body..." and so on.

"Young Master Cao, Youwei really needs the endorsement fee, so she is willing to become the spokesperson for the soap you mentioned. But Youwei has another request, and I hope you can agree."

"Miss Youwei, please say, no matter what the requirements are, as long as I am working hard, I will do my best," Cao Yi promised.

"Young Master, do you know the courtesan competition in brothels and the heads of the eight major banks?"

"Uh... I heard a little bit about this, but I'm not very familiar with it." Cao Yi replied.

"In fact, it is the annual flower evaluation list. The brothel industry will conduct a major selection at the end of each year. Each brothel selects a courtesan, and then selects the title of the first courtesan among each flower consultant. Last year, Youwei won the title of the first courtesan by resuming the selection." Yu Xuanji explained.

"But the rules have changed this year, and all the titles of courtesans will be taken back. The Jiangning brothels will select the flower shop and make the selection regulations. However, it is nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays. On the day of the selection, the innocent prostitutes, singers and red cards in the brothels in Jiangning City will dress up and compete, and score them according to the four categories of 'quality, rhyme, talent, and color'..."

"What exactly does this 'quality, rhyme, talent, color' refer to?" Cao Yi asked.

Yu Xuanji looked at Cao Yi in surprise, and was surprised that as a talented scholar, he knew the most. These four major evaluation methods were compiled by these talented scholars. Why did the number one talented man in Jiangning in front of him ask about this? However, seeing that Cao Yi's expression was not fake, Yu Xuanji then explained: "The flower list selected four famous characters, one is the quality, the typical one is the winning; the second is the rhyme, the plump elegance win; the third is the talent, the dispatch win; the fourth is the color, the bright and beautiful one is the winning. The roll title will be announced on the spot. The best one is the brothel courtesan of Jiangning City, and the second is the winning seven, and the combined evaluation is

The eight major banks, or the eight beautiful women of Qinhuai, will have their own money, soaring value, which can attract many envoys to visit. If envoys come to the door after they are on the list, the “ordering tea” in front is the basic fee for entering the brothel, so there will be no change, but the “spending wine” and “making tea” in the latter are closely related to the top players on the list, and the fees will be doubled. And as long as they are ranked first in the eight major banks, they can have the right to choose envoys…”

"There are so many people in the brothel, and it is really eye-opening to choose guests in reverse!" Cao Yi murmured to himself in an amazement.

"Originally, the courtesans in each brothel had this right, but now there is only one courtesan in Jiangning City, and there are only eight people together, which means that only eight people are left to have the right to choose whether to accept customers. Therefore, for us brothel women, the selection of courtesans and the heads of the eight major banks is very important, and it is the only opportunity to only reflect self-esteem..." Yu Xuanji smiled sadly after saying that.

Cao Yi couldn't see Yu Xuanji showing such a pitiful expression in front of him, and quickly asked, "Youwei, you hope I will do something when you compete..."

"Well, Youwei hopes that the young master can give me a few poems and songs before the competition, so that Youwei can be selected as the first in the eight major industries, so that Youwei can live a little decent life next year and can also make more money calmly."

"I heard from Youwei that there seems to be a lot of demand for money. However, with Youwei's current status in Jinfeng Building, the food and clothing should be provided by Jinfeng Building. The expenses are nothing more than some rouge and water powder and the monthly money of Jiner Girl. Moreover, every time everyone meets Youwei, you need to pay "order tea" Yiguan, "spending wine" threeguan, and "making tea" occasionally gifts from others. If you finally enter this room, you will have to pay another tenguan. It is logical that it should not be very bad..." Cao Yi asked in confusion.

"Young Master doesn't know that the cost of 'ordering tea' has nothing to do with all the singers. It is collected by brothels. Only the fee for 'paying wine' can be taken out of ten. As for the money for entering this room to meet and meet guests, no matter how many times I met the benefactor that day, I would only have two stagnants of money every day. If I didn't spend anything, I could save nearly 800 taels of silver every year. But the cost of redeeming myself was as high as 3,000 taels of silver. Now I have saved half of it. It is estimated that it will take two years to save it... As for the gifts given by those benefactors when they were "tea-sieged", they were mostly small toys or poems and songs written by themselves, they were not valuable items. Even if some benefactors gave valuable gold and silver jewelry, Youwei would just store them and dare not pawn them, fearing that someone would come to ask for them one day..."
