Rebellion, of course, is not just a matter of words.
Ji Changze was now in a state of poverty. From time to time, there would be some surveillance people around, but the ones who were lying next to the wall and peeking directly like last time never appeared again.
It's probably because autumn is here and the leaves are becoming less lush, making it harder to hide.
After finishing chatting with Uncle Huber, Ji Changze went out. Before he could reach his home, the young man from the Fifth Prince Consort came to pick him up.
Now several consorts also know that Ji Changze is a poor and particular person, and insists on riding in a carriage to show his noble status as consort.
Ji Changze put on a show, and they were happy to see the results.
Now that this person has them by his side, giving money to the car, and then letting them go, Ji Changze will feel uncomfortable without money.
Today’s attraction is the flower boat.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of flower.
After all, the consorts were hanging out together. How dare they go to such a place? There was indeed kabuki dancing and piano playing on the ship, but they were all innocent and did not sell their bodies.
When Ji Changze got on the boat, he saw singing and dancing all around. Many flower boats were wandering in the lake, and the powerful men were sitting on the bows, drinking and laughing.
It was completely impossible to see that Fengguo was already in a critical situation.
"The Ninth Prince Consort is here!"
The third prince-in-law was the first to come out, gave Ji Changze Erzi a thumbs up, took his arm and said with a smile:
"You are very lucky today. There are many girls from Chunhua Tower here. They dance, but they are very beautiful."
As he spoke, he pointed to the most beautiful girl for Ji Changze and whispered:
"This girl is the most expensive in the building. If you like her, go to the private room with her alone."
As he spoke, he made a "you know" expression.
Ji Changze glanced at the girl.
She is indeed more beautiful. She is dancing on a small drum at the moment, which shows how light her body is.
It seemed that there had been no movement from Xianglan, so the consorts became anxious and actually spent a lot of money to invite such a girl who looked like she was worth a lot of money.
Ji Changze showed a troubled look on his face at the right time:
"This, this is not good..."
Seeing that he didn't refuse, the three princes suddenly became excited and persuaded him:
"What's wrong? I'm not asking you to go whore, I'm just talking to Miss Yin'er. The Ninth Princess is gentle and virtuous, and she will definitely not be angry over such a trivial matter."
But Ji Changze still shook his head: "I am short of money, and my brothers-in-law also know how I can be with Miss Yin'er."
"fine!"
The third prince-in-law pushed him into the house: "It doesn't matter if you are short of money, my brothers-in-law will help you pay for it."
"Then, why are you so embarrassed..."
"We are all a family. If there is anything to be embarrassed about, just feel free to chat with Miss Yin'er. Miss Yin'er is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also knowledgeable, sensible and considerate. She is no worse than a member of a famous family. , if you miss this time, there will be no next time.”
They all know that Ji Changze's weakness lies in his identity.
The poor suddenly became rich. He was just a commoner in the past. Naturally, he yearned for the ladies of powerful families.
Now when he mentioned that Yin'er was comparable to a noble girl, Ji Changze's face showed a look of excitement.
He glanced at Yin'er, who had just finished dancing and jumped off the drum.
"I just don't know if Miss Yin'er is willing."
The third prince-in-law glanced at Yin'er and saw that her beautiful face had a calm expression and she didn't look like she was willing to come forward to accompany the guests. He immediately smiled and said:
"Don't think that Miss Yin'er doesn't want to be with you anymore. She behaves like a noble girl. Even though she is still virginal, deep down she is still willing to get close to men."
"You are so charming and charming, she will definitely fall in love with you at first sight, and she can only wish to be with you for a long time."
Ji Changze showed an expression that seemed to be convinced.
"Then I will chat with her and talk about poetry and poetry."
"Okay, okay, let's talk."
Seeing that Ji Changze, who had been trying to seduce Xianglan for so long without success, was finally attracted to the woman, the three consorts could only wish to push the two of them into the bridal chamber.
Seeing Ji Changze enter the room, he quickly greeted Yin'er:
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry in and serve the Ninth Prince Consort well, you know?"
Yin'er didn't say anything and walked in directly.
The three princes-in-law returned to the dinner table. Seeing him like this, the other princes-in-law asked:
"Is it done?"
"It's done."
The third prince-in-law Errong said proudly: "Ji Changze didn't dare to do it at first, but after he saw Yin'er's appearance, he couldn't say anything at all."
The fifth prince-in-law also laughed: "I told you, there is no man who doesn't cheat. He doesn't like the girl next to me. It's not because he is a gentleman, it's because he doesn't like her."
The fourth prince-in-law sighed regretfully:
"It's such a pity. That Yin'er is one of the most beautiful in the world, but her price is too high, and my princess here is very strict with her, so she actually took advantage of this countryman."
Speaking of this, the Third Prince Consort also remembered the key points.
"Yin'er's money is not cheap. What if Ji Changze can't control it?"
"If that's the case, it's still a good thing. Yin'er Pogua, do you think Ninth Princess has any objection? Although the money is expensive, we can just put it together."
The princes-in-law didn't have any problem with collecting money.
They were ordered by the princess to drive a wedge between the nine consorts and the nine princesses, but they failed to make any noise for such a long time. Every day, under the restaurant and sitting on flower boats, Ji Changze was eating and drinking as he should, but he didn't follow their plan. Ninth Princess do something.
If this matter is not resolved, the princesses may really feel that they are useless.
Now if we can spend some money to solve it, then everything will be fine.
The Third Prince Consort thought it was a good deal.
He smiled and said, "You didn't see it just now. Ji Changze's eyes lit up when he saw Yin'er. If he didn't know, he would have thought that Yin'er was struck with silver. This will definitely happen today."
The consorts suddenly became extremely confident.
If Ji Changze really fell into the trap, it would be good for them to pay some money, so that the princess would not push the progress every day and get angry after knowing that there was no progress.
In the room, Ji Changze looked at Yin'er as if he were looking at money.
Because in his eyes, Miss Yin'er represents a lot of shining silver.
Yin'er's expression was not so good when she was being looked at. She frowned: "How many do you want?"
Ji Changze: "Ten thousand taels."
Yin'er sneered, her face neither showing the aloofness nor gentleness just now, she even put her hands on her hips like a street gangster:
"Ten thousand taels? You might as well rob me! I only have eight thousand taels to redeem myself!"
Ji Changze sat leisurely and contentedly: "You are rich, so what? Can your mother in the building let you redeem yourself?"
"Don't say you are redeeming yourself. Even if someone else wants to redeem you, will your mother agree if you have no identity?"
The arrogance on Yin'er's face gradually faded.
But he was still unwilling to accept it and said: "Prince-in-law, I am just a fireworks girl. I have only made a few years of money in Chunhua Tower. How can I scrape together enough for ten thousand taels? Well, you can also make eight thousand five thousand." Five hundred taels each."
"No."
Ji Changze flatly refused.
"I found out before I came here that you have been the top star since Chunhua Tower was exposed. There are so many dignitaries in the capital. They want to make an appointment with you, but it will cost a lot of money. For this money, you and Chunhua Tower My mother split the accounts between 30 and 70, and within a few years, she had more or less 20,000 taels."
He looked at Yin'er, whose expression changed instantly after hearing the precise number, and raised his eyebrows:
"Well, I don't want much, just nine thousand five hundred taels, just because Miss Yin'er is a happy person."
"You should also know that except for the royal family and relatives, no one in this capital can redeem you. Even if others redeem you, they will only make you a concubine. You have been planning for these years, but you are still willing to become a concubine in the end. For my concubine?"
Yin'er's face changed again and again.
Of course she was unwilling to do so.
No woman wants to be in the flesh business all the time.
What's more, she was still a free person before she was thirteen years old. Although she was just a girl disguised as a man who made a living by begging and performing arts on the street, she grew up on the streets and did well.
As a result, because of her outstanding appearance, she grew a little taller and was recognized as a girl. However, because she was illiterate, she was deceived into having her fingerprints printed on the deed of sale.
She suffered a big loss and almost lost money all her life. After entering Chunhua Building and finding that she couldn't escape, she pretended to give up and learned the craftsmanship in Chunhua Building.
She is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and studies it more seriously than other girls.
Later, the mother in the building felt that she was good-looking and a good prospect, so she spent money to hire a very capable person to teach her. When she turned sixteen, she was immediately promoted to be the number one.
It was said that the house was to be cleared, but Yin'er knew that it was just because the price was not enough, and her mother wanted to keep her as a cash cow for a while longer, and only let her sell herself after she had earned enough fame and money.
As soon as the number one guy started selling himself, he wasn't as popular as before.
In the beginning, she may have to pay a lot of money to sell it, but gradually she can sell it at a normal price. When she reaches the age of twenty-five, she will become the worst kind of person in the building. As long as she pays a few You can play with money as much as you want.
Yin'er has been fighting for her own life since she was a child. Even if other people tell her to save money, it's useless. As long as her mother doesn't let go, she will not be ransomed.
But she didn't believe it.
When she came today, she never expected that the Ninth Prince Consort would actually be willing to help her.
She calculated that she could take out the ninety-five thousand, and the remaining money was enough for her to live well.
At present, she has no one to help her, and the Nine Prince Consort can help her or not. It is better not to bargain too much and make the other party angry and not help her redeem herself.
"Okay! Nine thousand five, nine thousand five!"
Yin'er agreed and looked at Ji Changze who was sitting upright suspiciously:
"How can I be sure that my consort will not trick me?"
What if this person went to Chunhua Tower to redeem her body, but then deceived her into not tearing up her bond of sale, then wouldn't she be like a piece of cake
Ji Changze: "Because I want to do business with Miss Yin'er not only this time, but also countless times in the future."
Yin'er sat down dubiously.
"Would you like to hear what the prince consort has to say?"
"The cosmetics shop in the south and the silk and satin shop on North Street were all opened by Miss Yin'er. Although you are the number one, most of the money has been plundered by Chunhualou's mother. You can have such money in your hands." All the money you make depends on your business skills."
Ji Changze also did some information.
He himself was staring at people every day, so it was inconvenient for him to ask around, but Huber could.
The business model of the powder shop and the silk and satin shop is quite advanced, and the business is booming. The most important thing is that no matter how many beautiful styles the silk and satin shop produces, none of the girls in Chunhua Building have ever worn them.
Chunhualou has always been a leader in the fashion of women in the capital. If they don't wear it, most other women won't wear it either.
The one who took the lead was Yin'er. She once said that those clothes were only worn by women from good families, and the women in their brothels were also nondescript.
Yin'er is a famous person in the capital. Once word spreads, a beauty like her will feel ashamed, let alone other celebrities.
On the contrary, the female relatives in the capital fell in love with buying clothes in silk and satin shops.
Especially if there are men in the family who like to go to places with fireworks, they have to dress modestly and wear clothes that men cannot wear to show their status as a good family.
This is perfect marketing.
As for Yin'er, who was at the forefront, he was either bribed with money, or he was with the Silk House.
Ji Changze himself didn't expect that what Uncle Hub found out was that Na Yin'er had shares in both shops, and even accounted for the majority of them.
Obviously she is the one in charge.
This girl really has a talent for business, but it's a pity that she is too good-looking and has no status. Even if she does business and makes money, she still can't get rid of her current situation.
She couldn't even reveal that she was in business.
A woman from a good family may still be criticized when doing business. If the mother in the building knew that those two very profitable shops were hers, she would definitely find ways to get them into her own hands.
"If you put Miss Yin'er in the backyard, apart from letting her sing and dance, there will be no other use for her."
"But if Miss Yin'er is left out, she can earn ten times more money than selling herself."
Seeing Yin'er's face softening, Ji Changze smiled and said:
"If the girl were me, how would I choose?"
It must be chosen outside.
There are thousands of beauties in the world, and there is more than one who can sing and dance.
Making money is what matters most.
Yin'er, who was very enterprising, pushed others to cross him, and most of the vigilance in his heart disappeared instantly.
Only a fool would want beauty without money.
"Okay, if the prince-in-law is willing to cooperate with me, I will naturally only follow the prince-son-in-law's words."
Being able to redeem himself, and having a consort's backer come over to him, Yin'er quickly made a decision and surrendered directly.
"good!"
Ji Changze didn't hesitate:
"Although I am a prince-in-law with no real power, I still have a few capable people around me who can change my identity for you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them now."
Yin'er raised her eyes with firm eyes:
"I want a manhood."
Ji Changze thought for a while: "This is not difficult. It is more convenient for you to use your identity as a man to do business, but you..."
He looked at the other person up and down, and he felt that if she was disguised as a man, it would be a bit difficult not to be noticed.
Yin'er is not afraid of this.
"When I was young, I grew up on the street. There were always ways to conceal my identity. Prince Consort, you don't have to worry about that."
If it weren't for the fact that there were no female elders around her to teach her, she wouldn't have known about menstruation.
The clothes were stained with blood at that time, and the trafficker, who had a keen eye for identifying people, saw the clues, and then fell into the trap and was sold into a flower house.
From the age of thirteen to now nineteen, she has known a lot of things and learned a lot in the flower house. She can even change the timbre of her voice. She is absolutely sure to live as a man after she goes out.
Seeing her like this, Ji Changze knew that she had probably put a lot of thought into it before. She might have already thought about redeeming herself and becoming a man, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He just said: "In that case, it's settled, we will all be our own people from now on."
He is not afraid of Yin'er betraying him.
With Yin'er's status, women look down on her. Men only want to get her into bed. Even if they really like her for her abilities, they just want to use her. They will not think highly of her from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Yin'er does it for them Even after making money, they still want to put money and people into their mouths.
This is also the “normal” thinking of people nowadays.
Even if Yin'er is still innocent, as long as she talks about marriage with others using her identity as a woman, those people will never marry her as their official wife, no matter how much they like her.
As a woman, she can only have a concubine in her life.
As a man, he can do whatever he wants.
It’s no wonder that she is determined to be a man.
As for Ji Changze, this "weirdo", he neither looked down upon her nor had any thoughts about her beauty. He only focused on making her money.
Yin'er is a smart person. After seeing Ji Changze's attitude, she will never leave as long as Ji Changze doesn't fall.
Sure enough, after hearing what Ji Changze said, she immediately followed suit:
"As one of my own, Prince Consort, don't worry. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
After the two finalize the cooperation, they can start acting.
The princes outside waited for a full stick of incense before welcoming Ji Changze out with his arms around Yin'er's waist.
They were all shocked when they saw Yin'er, who had always been aloof, looking shy and timid.
How long has it been? !
In the span of a stick of incense, Yin'er, who was unbeatable by countless powerful people in the capital, actually had this attitude toward Ji Changze?
Looking at the proud expression on Ji Changze's face, they were deeply jealous.
He is just a lowly commoner.
It doesn’t matter if the princess you marry is the most beautiful and has the gentlest temperament.
Why did even Yin'er, the flower of the high mountains, favor him
If they read the novel, they would think they are in a male porn stud novel.
The reality is they don't look.
So I just looked at this scene with a strange look.
It was the fifth prince-in-law who spoke first, with a tone of envy that could not be concealed:
"Are you two in love?"
"No, no, it's just a matter of chatting."
Ji Changze let go of his hand and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Miss Yin'er is really comparable to a noble girl. I hit it off right away and chatted with her for a long time."
Yin'er was also shy: "Master Ji is considerate and upright."
Several consorts: "..."
Is this still the same Yin'er who always looks cold and indifferent
The Fifth Prince Consort's smile froze for a moment, then he became happy again when he thought that this was accomplished:
"Then why don't you continue chatting? It's only been a while, you can chat all night."
It's best to hook up immediately and forget about Princess Ninth.
Ji Changze shook his head: "We can't talk anymore. Yin'er is trapped in the flower building. I want to save her but I can't. Since I know that nothing I do is useless, I might as well stop here."
Yin'er looked touched: "Young master, you don't have to blame yourself. Even if you can't redeem Yin'er, Yin'er won't blame you."
Several consorts: "..."
"Wait, you mean, you still want to redeem Yin'er?"
Ji Changze shook his head. Although "I think, I think" was written all over his face, he still said:
"Yin'er is worth a lot and my mother won't let her go. I can't redeem her. In this case, it's better to never see her again."
Yin'er kept nodding.
The third prince-in-law was anxious.
They had been struggling for so long to finally get the woman Ji Changze fell in love with. It would be a pity to just give up.
He tried hard to persuade: "Even if you can't redeem yourself, you can still visit me from time to time."
"Yes, yes, it would be nice to see more."
However, Ji Changze did not listen to the advice at all.
"If you can't redeem yourself, what's the use of watching? Do you have to watch Yin'er being hugged and hugged by other men?"
"Brothers-in-law, there's no need to persuade me. I'm afraid of myself and it's really hard for me to control Yin'er, so I'm going back first."
Seeing that Ji Changze was really about to leave with a look of reluctance, the Third Prince Consort became anxious and shouted:
"We help you!!!"
The faces of the other consorts froze, and they watched Ji Changze turn around with surprise on their faces: "Help me? Do you brothers-in-law want to help me redeem Yin'er?!"
Consorts: "..."
Not really.
This Yin'er is the top card, and the money to redeem one's life costs upwards of seven thousand.
They have been short of money for food and drink recently, so where can they find money now
The fifth prince-in-law said: "Just wait a moment. Let's discuss it first and see if we can get the money together."
Several of them entered the cabin.
They discussed and discussed, and after a while, they all came out in despair.
The third prince-in-law forced a smile at Ji Changze: "We... have discussed it, and we will help you pay for it."
"real?!"
Ji Changze was even more surprised: "Thank you so much, my brothers-in-law. Thank you so much."
"I won't let my brothers-in-law pay for everything, I'll pay two taels of silver!"
He had a look of pain on his face and raised two trembling fingers.
Consorts: "..."
They went to collect money.
Even for them, it is not easy to come up with the money. It is impossible to ask the princess for it. Then what have they become in the eyes of the princess.
I can only go home and get it.
The eldest brothers and sisters-in-law in the family saw that their brother-in-law who married the princess was spending thousands of taels today, not counting the carriages and servants in the house every day. Naturally, they were very dissatisfied.
The princes-in-law who struggled to come up with the money only felt that they were enduring humiliation and a heavy burden. For the big plan in their hearts, they could only hold back and endure it.
After paying for Yin'er's death, watching Yin'er leave with Ji Changze, his eyes were full of envy.
As soon as they go back, it must be a wedding night.
Thinking about the sweetness between you and me, their jealous eyes are almost red.
The fifth prince-in-law comforted the other princes-in-law: "It doesn't matter, it's just this time."
"If Ji Changze takes a beautiful girl back, the Ninth Princess will definitely not obey. We will pay to solve this matter at once."
Ji Changze took Yin'er all the way to a deserted alley, then stretched out his hand:
"Nine thousand five hundred taels."
Yin'er kept her word and immediately took out the banknote.
Ji Changze clicked, and after confirming that the number was correct, he smiled and said:
"If you have any sisters who want to redeem themselves, and Hualou's mother won't let them go, just come to me."
"Take money with one hand and redeem people with the other."
"Young and old people are not deceived, and they don't take credit."
