Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 587 The Daughter of the Red Mansion's Madam 2

The masked man did not get up immediately. He waited for a while before getting up. Just as he was about to climb out the window to leave, Zhang Xintong sat up.

"Why, you want to leave now that you've used me? Shouldn't you leave me a thank you gift?"

The masked man was called Wen Ji. At this time, Wen Ji turned around and looked at Zhang Xintong in surprise. The woman had no internal strength and was just an ordinary person. He had clearly drugged her, but why didn't this woman faint?

The woman has clear eyes, curved eyebrows, plump cheeks, skin as white as cream, slender shoulders and waist, and a graceful figure. She is pleasing to the eye and unforgettable. She can be said to be "a beauty that can overwhelm the country and astonishes the world."

As a native of Guangling, Wen Ji knew about Yuanyang Tower. He heard that it was quite famous in the past and had produced several courtesans, but now it was known for being deserted. The reason was that the madam of Yuanyang Tower was unwilling to force girls of good character into prostitution. When girls came to sell their bodies, she advised them not to come here and told them about the hardships there. As a result, there were no new girls. The girls in Yuanyang Tower were getting older and older, and finally no one came.

Wen Ji looked at Zhang Xintong. He wondered how he had never heard of such a beautiful girl in Yuanyang Tower. He had an old lecher named Wen Shan at home. He would go to any beautiful woman in Guangling just by the scent, but he had never heard of this woman in Yuanyang Tower.

Du Juan naturally couldn't let her daughter be a girl, so she kept her well hidden and rarely let her go out.

To Wen Ji now, Zhang Xintong is a strange woman whom he has only met once. Although she is very beautiful and he inexplicably wants to get closer to her, this woman can avoid the drugs and is not afraid of him, a strange man whose background he does not know, so he has to be careful in dealing with her.

"What do you want as a thank you?"

Zhang Xintong is talking and laughing

"Please take off your mask and let me see you, sir."

Wen Ji......

"Change one"

"Then leave your name!"

Wen Ji......

Is this woman trying to express her gratitude or... tease him?

Wen Ji took out a few banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Here are five thousand taels as a thank you gift. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have caused you."

Wen Ji was about to leave when Zhang Xintong's voice came again.

"and many more"

"Miss, is there anything else?"

Zhang Xintong threw a detoxification pill over

"This is a detoxification pill. It can cure the poison in your body. Take it."

It was their first meeting, and Wen Ji shouldn't have trusted this strange woman, but he felt that this woman would not harm him. He looked at the pill in his hand, hesitated for two seconds, and then swallowed it.

"Thank you, farewell!"

This time, Zhang Xintong didn't call him back and just watched him leave. Wen Ji jumped down the stairs and looked back upstairs. The woman standing by the window was also looking at him. Wen Ji didn't understand the emotion in her beautiful eyes, so he turned and ran away quickly.

Zhang Xintong watched him leave, closed the window, and picked up the silver bills on the table. There were 5 silver bills of one thousand taels, which added up to exactly five thousand taels. He was so generous and quite rich. I wonder if he would be willing to be a son-in-law?

At this time, Dujuan and the girls from Yuanyang Building were in the lobby on the first floor. Dujuan had decided to sell Yuanyang Building tomorrow morning. The small courtyard outside had been rented and they were just waiting for dawn.

The girls in Yuanyang Tower were all named after flowers. Aside from the madam, Du Juan, and the original owner, Du Tong, there were only thirteen remaining: Rose, Lily, Narcissus, Peony, Lotus, Chinese Rose, Jasmine, Rosa rugosa, Crape Myrtle, Hibiscus, Wintersweet, Lily of the Valley, and Begonia. The others had been bought, or bought themselves free. Those who remained were reluctant to leave, having nowhere else to go.

The youngest of the remaining girls is 35 years old, and most of them are already in their 40s. None of them are young. The blooming period of the girls in the Red Mansion is very short, basically 16 years from 25 to 10 years old.

Du Juan is 45 years old. She gave birth to the original owner at the age of 26. The original owner is now 19 years old. Here, people come of age at the age of 16, so 19 is not young.

Zhang Xintong put two silver notes into the space, and left the remaining three thousand taels of silver notes on the table. She walked out of the room and stood on the third floor to call Du Juan.

"Mom, come up here for a moment."

Du Juan didn't ask what she was doing. Her daughter called her and she quickly went upstairs. Although Du Juan was 45 years old and had aged a bit in recent years due to lack of money for maintenance, she still had the foundation of an oiran and maintained a good figure. Among the madams in Guangling, she was definitely the most beautiful.

"Tongtong, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xintong closed the door, asked Du Juan to sit down, and pushed the three thousand taels of silver on the table over to her.

"Mother, a masked man just came into my room. He said he bought Yuanyang Tower for three thousand taels. If you agree, he will allow us to continue living here."

When Du Juan heard that a man entered Zhang Xintong's room, she instantly became nervous.

"What did he do to you?"

Zhang Xintong patted him soothingly.

"Mother, don't worry! He didn't do anything to me. He just wanted to buy Yuanyang Tower."

Du Juan carefully examined Zhang Xintong, even pulling open her clothes to take a look, and was relieved to see that she was fine. She then looked at the banknote in her hand and found it was real.

"He said we should continue to live here?"

"Yes, if you agree, he bought the Yuanyang Building for three thousand taels and let us live here."

Dujuan doesn't believe in free lunch.

"Don't you have any requirements? Does he want you to follow him willingly because you're pretty?"

Zhang Xintong......

He doesn't have this idea, but your daughter wants to kidnap him back.

"He just said he wanted to open a shop here to sell women's face wipes and would hire people like us, so he allowed us to live here."

Zhang Xintong has already figured out what to do. The Last World Company has stockpiled 100 million sets of various cosmetics. She doesn't have to worry about anything else. She can just open a women's beauty salon and sell cosmetics. She won't have to worry about making money.

When Dujuan heard about hiring them, her eyes lit up. It wasn't that she really believed it, but like a person in adversity grabbing a life-saving straw, she wanted to believe it in her heart.

"Really?"

Zhang Xintong pointed at the banknote

"We've already given them the banknotes, so we're not at a loss."

Du Juan thinks so too

"Did he say when he would go to the government office to transfer the ownership of the Yuanyang Tower house?"

"He said he'd leave the deed with me and ask me to come get it when I'm free. He's not transferring ownership of the property yet. He's doing this business secretly without his family's knowledge and doesn't want anyone to find out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen us."

Dujuan went back to her room and took out the house deed, which had Dujuan's name on it, and handed it to Zhang Xintong.

"Tongtong, we can give him a job, but if he wants to do anything to you, don't agree. I rented a small yard outside, and we can leave."

Zhang Xintong put the title deed in her arms and transferred it into the space

"okay, I get it."

Du Juan took out a banknote and gave it to Zhang Xintong

"This banknote is for you as your dowry. The two thousand taels I have are enough for us. Your aunts have been with me for so many years. They were sisters before. I can't abandon them."

"Mother, I understand. You don't need to explain to me. I support you."

"Okay, then I'll tell my sisters the good news. They're still sad!"

"Mother, he doesn't want anyone to know about his affairs. Don't mention him to my aunts. Just say that I have some private money here and I want to start a business to see if I can make some money."

"Okay, it's all up to you."
