Chapter 31 Balance
Deyilou is the largest brothel on the entire Qinhuai River. Although the name of the brothel industry is not very nice, it is one of the best profitable industries. There is no oil industry in this era. In the entire capital, except for money shops, this brothel is probably the most profitable.
The seventh prince Ji Wen is the prince, so precious that even he secretly opened such a brothel by the Qinhuai River, which shows the huge profits of this industry.
In fact, a large part of the "activity funding" of the Seventh Prince in recent years was provided to him by this Deyi Building, which earned money every day.
Now, he can take out 10% of the Deyi Building and hand it over to Li Xin, which shows that he has invested a lot on Li Xin.
Li Xin blinked and glanced at Cui Jiuniang.
"Sister Cui, there is nothing in the world that doesn't need to pay a price. Although I am a little younger, I still understand this principle."
Although Cui Jiuniang runs a brothel for the Qi Gongzi, the woman has no dusty smell. At first glance, she looks as elegant and luxurious as a wealthy lady. She sits on the chair in Li Xin's room and glances at Li Xin lightly.
"Young man, you are a top smart person and you should be able to see clearly. You don't have much room for rejection at this time, otherwise even if the young master doesn't mind, the people from the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion cannot let you go."
Li Xin got up and poured Cui Jiuniang a cup of tea himself.
When he first came to this world, without covering his clothes and food, it was the woman in front of him who gave him a way out, which was a great kindness, so Li Xin was still very polite to Cui Jiuniang.
"Is Sister Cui here to be a lobbyist?"
Cui Jiuniang had a faint smile on her face.
"Young Lord said that's right, but in the opinion of the Iu family, Xiao Langjun is now in the capital, and there is only one way for my young master to go. Otherwise, you will die sooner or later at the hands of the Marquis of Pingnan in the future."
Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Sister Cui, it's true that the lady Yu from the Marquis of Pingnan was just now, and she asked her to move back to the Marquis of Pingnan to live, saying that she wanted me to be the second son of the Marquis of Pingnan."
"You won't go."
Cui Jiuniang's face was calm: "You know very well that if you really live in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, you will never have the ability to resist anymore. Even if you die one day in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, no one in the entire capital will know any news."
Cui Jiuniang said it very well. The reason why Mrs. Yu invited Li Xin to live in the Marquis’ Mansion of Pingnan was definitely not because of a sudden kindness. Once Li Xin really moved into the Marquis’ Mansion of Pingnan, it would be a matter of life and death. If someone stabbed him to death in the mansion, he would not even be able to hear him.
Li Xin fell silent.
At this point, it seems that the only way for the Seventh Master is to be in front of him is really the only way.
After a while, he gently pushed the letter of contract in front of him back and whispered: "Sister Cui, the Seventh Master treats me with kindness. If there is any help, I will naturally be unruly. This Deyi Building is a great family and I will not receive any rewards without any merits. Please take it back."
Li Xin's words mean that he can temporarily stand on the same front with the Seventh Master, but cannot get too deeply involved. If he signs this contract, under the entanglement of human relations, Li Xin will never be able to distinguish between this Seventh Master, who has not yet understood it.
Cui Jiuniang glanced at Li Xin, then put the contract book into her sleeve, and smiled and said, "What are you worried about by Xiao Lang?"
Li Xin's face became serious.
"Sister Cui is kind to me, so I will tell my sister a heartfelt word. I only have four or five days to come to the capital and actually live in the city. I can be said to be ignorant of all aspects of the capital. I never dare to step on the unknown things."
Cui Jiuniang picked up the tea that Li Xin poured for her and smiled and said, "You little man is afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid of death, everyone in this world is afraid of death."
Li Xin chuckled softly and said, "Actually, it's not as serious as it's not as serious as it's not dead. It's just that this matter is related to my second half of my life. I have to be more cautious. As my sister said, I have no choice in the capital, and the Seventh Master doesn't have to worry. I ask my sister to go back and tell the Seventh Master that it will take some time."
Jiuniang slowly stood up from the chair and saluted to Li Xin and said, "Young man was injured just now. You shouldn't tell me these things at this time. When your husband is injured healed, it's not too late to explain it in detail."
Speaking of this, Jiu Niang paused and continued to smile: "As for this contract, it is the same whether Xiao Langjun signs or not. At the end of each month, Deyilou's income will be sent to Xiao Langjun for 10% of the income."
She slowly walked to the door of Li Xin's room, suddenly remembered something, then returned to Li Xin's bed and whispered: "As for what Xiao Langjun is worried about, I can reveal something to Xiao Langjun here that my young master's power in the court can rank among the top three among the princes."
Li Xin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just a fifteen-year-old man with no achievements or capital. Why did this seventh prince actually take the initiative to visit the cottage three times...
However, Li Xinxin was somewhat disdainful of what Jiu Niang said. Unless the prince’s fight for the throne really reached a mutiny, it had nothing to do with how much power he had. The most important thing was the holy heart. If the holy heart was not in you, no matter how powerful the power you had, you would have to end up being mutiny.
The success rate of mutiny is very low.
The kind of Li Er and Zhu Si are because they are the generals who lead troops and have military power. In contrast, the Seventh Prince does not look like a general at all.
Li Xin nodded to Jiu Niang and said softly: "I remember everything my sister said. No matter what I say, I will definitely give the seventh master an answer as soon as possible."
Cui Jiuniang smiled and nodded, turned around and left.
Li Xin got up and sent her to the door.
After leaving Li Xin's yard, Jiu Niang got into a carriage and returned to Deyi Tower from a remote street. In the private room on the top floor of Deyi Tower, Jiu Niang knelt down gently, bowed to the young man in the main seat and said, "Young master, I'm back."
The seventh young master put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "What did he say?"
Jiuniang shook her head slowly: "Although this young man is quite grateful to the young master, he is unwilling to turn to the young master completely, and he is not willing to sign the deed letter from Deyilou."
The seventh prince of the Great Jin Dynasty nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "This illegitimate son of the Marquis of Pingnan is meticulous and has a good manner of doing things. What is rare is that he is still so calm at this time and must be a character in the future."
Cui Jiuniang gave the seventh young master a glass of wine and said, "Young Master, I have something to do with you."
The seventh prince Ji Wen lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and smiled and said, "Are you trying to ask, why do you value this Li Xin so much?"
Cui Jiuniang nodded slightly.
"Although this young man is a little capable and quite intelligent, he seems not worthy of being a young man..."
The seventh young master shook his head slowly and narrowed his eyes.
"Women's opinion is short-sighted. Although Li Xin is not particularly critical, his identity is very promising. He is the illegitimate son of Pingnan Hou. In the future, we will have room for doing things by using this to do things."
Speaking of this, the seventh prince raised his head and drank the wine in his glass in one go, reached out to hold the extremely beautiful Cui Jiuniang in his arms, and smiled.
