Chapter 2 The store is open

I heard from Er Niang that Hua Niang saved a dowry for her daughter and placed it in the Peony Pavilion. The money was not much, but it was enough to open half a shop.

Standing in the corridor on the second floor of Lichun Courtyard, ignoring the feasting and feasting in front of her, Yin Qingyan looked up and looked at the names on the lintel of each room.

Jasmine Garden? No.

Haitang Xiang? Not really.

Peony Pavilion...

She glanced at those delicately carved small characters, and heat began to surge deep in her heart.

At this moment, a loud and pungent voice suddenly came into her ears, and she subconsciously hid behind the red pillar.

"Young Master Qiu came to our Lichun Courtyard to get drunk again? We are not a place that sells alcohol. We go to restaurants to drink."

Hua Niangzi snorted coldly, with a hint of contempt in her tone, "If you ask me, just forget about your reconciliation with her. There are so many girls here, but there is no one you can take notice of? Looking at the big look on Sangmenxing's face

Black mole, how can you live with her for so long? Isn’t jasmine bad? Or does the rose not smell good? It’s just you who has a strong taste!"

"I..." the man was speechless for a moment, "I will make peace with her tomorrow. If she had not been kind to me, how could I... No, she will never make peace with me, so I will just divorce her.

She has solved everything once and for all."

"That's right! As a man, you have to live a decent life!"

Listening to the two singing and preparing to divorce their wives, Yin Qingyan slowly clenched her fists.

She said that she could not stay in this illegal business establishment for long! She had to leave here, leave this place full of luxury and sin.

At first, I felt a little guilty about taking away the dowry that the Flower Lady had worked so hard to save for her behind her back, but now she felt at ease.

Thinking of this, she slipped into the house of Peony Pavilion and started the first step of her life plan...

"Ayan, why did you jump into the river?"

As soon as Yin Qingyan returned to the boudoir, she saw a little girl about her age.

Who is this? She looks like she is dressed in a brothel.

She looked surprised and curious about the little girl who had been pulling her.

"Who are you?"

"Your bird! The daughter of the owner of Dachuan Street Gambling House! When you were a child, you..."

"My best sister!" Yin Qingyan interrupted suddenly.

The shop is still half full, and right now she needs sisters like this the most, who come with a stack of banknotes in times of crisis.

Tang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and giggled, "I thought you were going crazy, but it's okay."

"Yeah." Yin Qingyan curled her lips and glanced at her, her eyes filled with confusion, "Bird, do you have money? Let's do something big!"

Tang Yingying raised her head high and said, "Who are you looking down on? I am the daughter of the owner of a gambling house on Dachuan Street. I can't be without money if I don't have anything! Is ten taels enough? However, you don't want to use money to buy a murderer, so you can't beat Wei Ci."

Come on, kid! Things are different now, and we have to think about it in the long run. I heard that Miss Chen Er, who was engaged to him, is the illegitimate daughter of Chen Zhixian who was raised outside. We can’t let the officials keep an eye on her..."

Yin Qingyan scratched her head, feeling confused and confused, not knowing where it was going.

Right now, what she needs most is to know how much money it will cost to open a shop here. In order to leave this illegal business institution as soon as possible, she must find a way out for herself.

A brothel is not a place for women to stay.

"I want to open a shop, and you pay half of it." She got straight to the point and said to the little girl.

Wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t use the resources?

Tang Yingying was stunned for a moment, and opened her mouth unexpectedly, but then quickly bent her eyes into two slits, "No problem."

Yin Qingyan looked at the little yellow warbler in front of her with joy in her heart. She never thought that the little girl didn't even ask a question, but chose to believe and support her unconditionally. Such a rare best friend really warmed her heart.

.

Her life seemed to be about to see a bright future, so she quickly asked: "So if we are looking for a shop with the best location in the busiest market here, do you know where it is?"

"Of course it's the one opposite Wei Cijia Pharmacy on Dachuan Street!"

Wei Ci?

Why is it Wei Ci again?

If I remember correctly, he seemed to be the handsome scumbag just now!

In order to do something big, Yin Qingyan and Tang Yingying made an appointment to work separately.

The next morning, she came to Dachuan Street with a stack of banknotes in her arms.

I have to say that Dachuan Street really deserves its reputation. As soon as the genius started to shine, the shops and stall owners started to open their business. There were also many passers-by, and there was already a long queue just for selling steamed buns.

There were a lot of people in front of her, so she tiptoed through the crowd.

"Ayan, here!"

Yin Qingyan followed the sound and saw a girl in yellow not far away jumping up and down and waving her hands towards her.

She chuckled, secretly appreciating that the daughter of a gambling house was different from ordinary people. She didn't have any of the pretentiousness of a lady, she looked like a man. How nice!

She struggled to push her shoulders aside, and finally stood in front of the shop door.

Then, after some negotiation between Tang Yingying and the shop owner, the two finally successfully owned their first asset.

After tidying up and decorating, Tang Yingying fanned her wide sleeves and asked with a red face: "Ayan, this shop looks pretty good, but why is no one coming?"

Yin Qingyan looked at her anxious look and couldn't help but purse her lips with a smile.

"As a guest, I already have someone in mind."

"Who is it?" Tang Yingying immediately came over, her fatigue instantly dissipated.

Yin Qingyan was calm and looked at the flow of people coming and going outside the window, "Have you ever heard that there is a woman in Mr. Qiu's family who is called Sangmenxing?"

"You're talking about Xue Ziling!" Tang Yingying's eyes lost their sparkle and she pursed her lips, "She has a big black mole on her face, which is extremely ugly. If she hadn't saved the young master of the Qiu family by the river outside the city earlier,

, no one will marry her! I heard from the fortune teller that people with moles on their faces are mostly unlucky, so the neighbors call her Sangmen Xing. You have been hiding in Li Chun Courtyard all year round, and you don’t even know this news."

Yin Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I would like to meet her and help her change her appearance."

"Ah, bah, bah, bah!" Tang Yingying stood up quickly, "Our place has just started to look good. You brought that Sangmenxing here and closed it down before it even opened?"

Hearing this, Yin Qingyan rolled her eyes at her, "Who has seen her cheat? If she has a mole, she will be ruined? What if the mole disappears?"

"Then..." Tang Yingying couldn't answer, "Then who can do it? The man in her family has not been killed, but I heard that they are about to divorce. Her face is like a lone star in the sky!

"

Yin Qingyan knew in her heart that it would not be easy for people here to change their fixed ideas. She stood up and came to Tang Yingying, took her little hand and put it on her palm, her eyes firmly falling on the black eyes under the single eyelids.

.

"I want to help her."

"Help her?"

Tang Yingying was shocked, and the hand she wanted to pull away was tightly grasped by her.

"Yes, let her become a noble person and attract wealth from now on."
