After rebirth, the princess made and dragged

Chapter 20 Loss-Loss Trading

In the Yunqi Pavilion in the garden of the restaurant, Wu Tianbao, also known as Wu Banjing, was meeting with a mysterious figure wearing a mask.

The mysterious man is generous and wants to buy his Xingrong Pawn Shop.

Wu Tianbao was satisfied with the price, but the additional conditions offered by the other party made him hesitate.

The other party requested that the name of the pawn shop and the redemption rules should not be changed before the redemption period for the items in the pawn shop ends. In other words, during this period, the business will still be operated under his banner of Wu Tianbao.

It is not a good thing for a person who is completely ignorant to act under his banner in the capital. He is already famous and attracts attention, and he is watched by many people. If something goes wrong because of a small pawnshop, wouldn't it be because of this?

A small gain but a big gain?

Therefore, Wu Tianbao was already thinking about how to tactfully reject the person in front of him - he was a businessman, and based on the principle of making money by being friendly, he would never offend a master who could easily take out a hundred thousand taels of cash.

"This Xingrong Pawn Shop was actually passed down to me by my father, but its meaning is different after all. If this young man really wants to buy a pawn shop, how about Parkson Pawn Shop on Zhuque Street? It is also a good place to make money every day. If

If the young master is willing to change to that room, I can give you a lower price."

Wearing a mask, Gu Mingshu thought to herself: If I can change to another pawnshop, wouldn't I open one myself? Yun Qianxue only recognizes your Xingrong Pawnshop, what can I do?

She knew that she couldn't convince Wu Tianbao just by talking, but fortunately she made secondary preparations today.

She sighed and asked, "Boss Wu is worried that my origins are unknown. What bad things can I do in your name?"

"Haha." Wu Tianbao smiled, acquiescing.

"Forget it, doing business is all about integrity, and showing one's identity is also a part of integrity." As if helpless, Gu Mingshu took out a black wood sign with a fire phoenix carved from her sleeve and put it on the table: "Boss Wu, listen

Have you ever been to Huofeng Village in Qingyun Mountain?"

Qingyun Mountain is a place about two thousand miles away from Beijing. It is unlikely that young talents in Beijing have heard of it, but Wu Tianbao started his career as a businessman. Even now that he is very rich, he still often travels around in person.

Of course he has heard of Qingyun Mountain Huofeng Village!

And not just heard of it.

He was originally lazy, but now he straightened his back and sat upright.

"But that Fire Phoenix Village of 'Three Thousand Villages in the Southern Country, headed by Qingyun Feng'?"

Gu Mingshu said calmly: "Anything with or without a prefix is ​​just love from brothers on the road. Since Boss Wu knows about our Huofeng Village, he must also understand that our work style is to put integrity first. As long as you are willing to sell the pawn shop, we will stop selling it."

Won't cause you any trouble."

"Yes, yes, I can trust the reputation of Huofeng Village." Wu Tianbao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully tested, "I wonder if the master is optimistic about the customs and customs of Jokhang Kyoto, so he came here to buy property?"

"What's so good about this place where the rules are everywhere and the rich are everywhere?" Gu Mingshu sneered.

After a pause, she added: "Anyway, it's already settled, so I'll tell you the truth. The boss of my family has fallen in love with a young man. Unfortunately, your pawn shop happens to be open near his house, so it's suitable for...

…Hiss, what do you mean by that? Oh, 'the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon'!"

Wu Tianbao was stunned when he heard this. He was still thinking about whether Huofeng Village wanted to infiltrate the capital and intercept the powerful people, or he wanted to clear his name and go ashore. But he never expected that it was just such a reason.

Gu Mingshu stopped talking at this point. Although she had lived a new life and knew some things ahead of time, she still needed to be careful about taking advantage of the situation.

"Boss Wu," Gu Mingshu said with a look of losing her patience, "If you want to sell this building, just sell it. If you don't want to sell it, don't go through Qingyun Mountain with your caravan, otherwise we will eat as much as you come.

.”

The cold sweat on Wu Tianbao's forehead became even heavier.

Qingyun Mountain was a checkpoint that he had to pass on the northern trade route. The cost of detouring had doubled several times. Not to mention profit, even if he didn't lose money, he would still make a profit.

However, the surrounding areas of Xinrong Pawnshop are all the houses of high-ranking officials. No matter who the aunt in Huofengzhai is interested in or wants to abduct, she will not be able to escape her involvement in future investigations.

"Brother, do you think this will work..."

Wu Tianbao was about to come up with a compromise that would allow him to be plucked out, when his attendant suddenly came up the stairs and whispered: "Master, His Highness the Sixth Prince is drinking tea upstairs. Would you like to invite you to go upstairs for a chat? Your Highness still wants to talk."

Say, you can take your guests with you."

When Wu Tianbao heard this, he looked up at the second floor of the tea house. He happened to see a window in the private room on the second floor wide open, and the sixth prince Qin Song stood by the window and raised a glass to him from afar.

Wu Tianbao quickly stood up, gave Qin Song a sleeveless salute, turned to Gu Mingshu and said, "Look, little brother, that's the sixth prince, and he's not someone I can offend. Why don't we just talk about this today?"

Or...do you want to go with me?"

Let's go together! Outside, Qin Song and Qin Yue are almost inseparable from Meng, Meng is inseparable from each other, and Qin Yue is most likely upstairs at this moment. What is she doing up there? Is she throwing herself into a trap?

"Boss Wu is really humorous. I have said everything I should say. Boss Wu, please think about it carefully. I will wait for your good news in three days!" Gu Mingshu said.

"Okay, I'll ask Wu Yong to see you off." Wu Tianbao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingshu put on the hood of her cloak and waved her hands: "No need! However, I would like to remind Boss Wu that if the boss reveals even a single word about what happened just now, our business will not be done in a righteous way, but we will become enemies!"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you the truth. If you are charged with colluding with bandits, you will be slaughtered in the capital." Wu Tianbao was a little helpless, but he also expressed his biggest worry.

.

Gu Mingshu immediately realized that this was his biggest concern.

"Oh, I understand. As long as Boss Wu is willing to trade, we will definitely give you a way to reassure you after three days. Boss Wu, take your leave!"

She cupped her fists and nodded before walking away, as if she were a free-spirited person coming out of the mountains. She turned around the path and disappeared at the end of the flower tree in an instant.

Wu Tianbao was truly trustworthy and fearful of death. After going upstairs, no matter how Qin Song and the others asked, he did not disclose the contents of his discussion with Gu Mingshu.

This man was well-rounded and always had lively topics to change the conversation. After he came, the air in this private room became much more cheerful.

However, because Qin Yue always felt that the cloaked man looked very familiar, he always brought the topic back to ask questions, which made Wu Tianbao unable to do anything. Within half an hour, he got himself drunk and didn't know what was going on.

Admittedly, these things have nothing to do with Gu Mingshu.

She changed her makeup several times and took detours. After she was absolutely sure that no one was following her, she returned to the Hailing Palace in a dignified and calm manner.

After returning home, she wrote a letter to a friend thousands of miles away. In the letter, she carefully stated that she wanted to use her name to do things in Beijing, and asked her to detain Wu Tianbao's caravan if there was a chance.

Don't rob or kill, just cooperate with Jingzhong.

She sealed it with a paint bucket, tied it to the leg of the pigeon she had been keeping in the backyard, and quickly released it.

Nuanfeng and Cuiwei knew Gu Mingshu's actions, but they were still puzzled.

"Miss, why do you have to buy from that pawn shop?"

"Of course buying money will make money." Gu Mingshu fooled her as a matter of course.

Anyway, it cannot be said that it was because Yun Qianxue would pawn an important imperial gift in the future and the crime of beheading would be thrown on her, so she took precautions and seized the source.

Nuanfeng was a little worried and said: "But if you want to make money, we have several shops, so why would we trade almost all our wealth for such a pawn shop?"

No matter how you calculate it, this is a loss-making business.

Gu Mingshu didn't want to explain anymore, just said: "It's worth it, you will know it in the future. For now, you just need to follow my instructions."

Of course Nuanfeng and Cuiwei also know their identities. Since Gu Mingshu said so, they can't say anything else.

"yes!"

"Okay, after you two finish your work, you will take some time to rest, and I will take you out to play in the evening." Gu Mingshu said with a smile.

When Nuanfeng and Cuiwei heard this, they immediately grimaced and almost said in unison: "Ah? Are you still going tonight?"

Gu Mingshu raised her eyebrows and asked, "If you didn't take advantage of Concubine Yun's bed to recuperate, go rummaging through things to find flaws, could it be that when she came back to her senses and found that the hands of the General's Mansion couldn't reach into the back house of Prince Hailing's Mansion, we couldn't even

She betrayed her confidants through coaxing and frightening?"

"At that time, she will be furious and guard us, and even retaliate, but I won't have any life-saving charms in my hand. Isn't this terrible?" Gu Mingshu asked again.

The two little maids immediately cheered up.

"I understand, everything is at your command!"

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"
