Chapter 9: The Southern Tour of the Messenger (19)

Thanks to Dong Xiaowan's "sister", everyone's relationship immediately became much closer. Although Dong Xiaowan's appearance is reserved and cold, she is actually a hot person in her heart, and she is full of love for life. This can be seen from Dong Xiaowan's expression and her life interests.

When Gu Hengbo, Chen Yuanyuan and Kou Baimen were introduced, Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but look surprised. Gu Hengbo was a famous actor in Yangzhou, the best in the southern songs, and the reputation of Jiangnan. He didn't expect to follow Mr. Wu, and Kou Baimen. In his 28th year of Nian Fang, he had already made a name for himself. She also heard of Mr. Wu in Suzhou, and she had never thought that she would become the concubine of Mr. Wu in front of her. Besides, Chen Yuanyuan, the little sister in everyone's eyes, although she was famous, she had never met. Wasn't she attracted by Mr. Tian Guojiu and wanted to marry her as a concubine? How could she follow Mr. Wu? From Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, Dong Xiaowan even saw her affection for Mr. Wu.

It's so surprising, but it's also ridiculous. Who is Mr. Wu? He can win so many women who value both beauty and wisdom to follow him. It's okay if one or two people have one or two, but five of them appeared at once. If they spread it, they would probably cause a huge sensation!

Dong Xiaowan knew Gu Hengbo's habits and called him "Brother Mei", but Gu Hengbo smiled and said, "Sister Xiaowan, you should call me Sister Hengbo in the future!"

This is because he married, and even his habits have changed. Dong Xiaowan nodded quickly.

"Baimen, Yuanyuan has met Sister Xiaowan!" Kou and Chen said with a polite smile.

"The two sisters are polite. I have heard about the names of the two sisters. Today, Xiaowan is very happy to meet." Dong Xiaowan happily stepped forward and pulled the hands of the two girls.

"Sister Wan is the idol of our sisters!" Chen Yuanyuan smiled sweetly.

As a woman, she likes to hear other people's praises. Even if she doesn't like it on the surface, she can't help but be happy inside. Now that a beautiful woman who is more praised than herself, Dong Xiaowan is naturally very happy, and her love for Chen Yuanyuan is uncontrollably added three points.

"Sister Xiaowan, this time we came to Suzhou to travel and relax. Originally, Xiang'er and Lianying were there, so there was no need for any guide to visit Suzhou. However, they had been away for six years, and this time we did not only visit Suzhou, so we wanted to invite you to be our guide, and food, accommodation and entertainment were all ours. In addition, we pay you fifty silver dragon yuan a day as a reward, how about it?" Zhu Yinglong said directly, saying, "Brothers, settle the score clearly. Even if Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun and others recognize their sisters, they cannot be used to be tour guides for themselves for nothing."

Dong Xiaowan didn't expect Zhu Yinglong to mention this issue directly, and even the specific remuneration numbers were mentioned, and the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Dong Xiaowan was very complicated inside. On the one hand, Li Xiangjun and others were also friends whom Dong Xiaowan had been with for a long time. If she wanted to lead them to travel around the mountains and rivers, she also needed such money urgently. If she agreed directly, she was afraid that Li Xiangjun and other women would look down on her and thought she was a superficial woman who likes money. But if she refused, no one would save her own suffering, so she fell into a battle between heaven and man.

"Sister Xiaowan, don't make things difficult. My master sincerely asked you to be our guide. Some rewards should be the right one." Li Xiangjun was reasonable and saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he hurriedly stood up and said.

"For this reason, thank you brother-in-law, and Xiaowan will be disrespectful." Dong Xiaowan gritted her teeth and agreed, her mother's illness was important.

"Okay, we only stayed in Suzhou for about ten days, and then we will have Xiaowan, you decide what to do?" With a professional tour guide by my side, there is no need to fuck you and don't know where to go, so I just handed over everything to Dong Xiaowan.

"This?" Dong Xiaowan said in surprise.

"Sister Xiaowan, don't be surprised. My master is lazy and his heart is lazy. Just follow the arrangement. Is the time? It's only about three months!" Li Xiangjun pulled Dong Xiaowan over with a smile and explained.

"Three months?" Dong Xiaowan said in surprise.

Fifty silver dragons a day, and not four thousand five hundred silver dragons in three months. This is a huge amount of money, and the expenses of food and accommodation are not considered her own. It is equivalent to saying that the 4,500 silver dragons are actually in her pocket. This is almost comparable to her two years of income. If it weren’t for selling herself to pay off her debts and buying medicine for her mother to treat her illness, she would have been free from now on. In addition to treating her mother’s illness, the money she earns in the future belongs to her and will no longer be exploited by the madam!

Although the court has long been "not stolen as good" and has explicitly abolished the system of lowliness, the phenomenon of selling oneself as slaves as prostitutes has not been eliminated. The court can only crack down on those who force oneself to sell oneself in terms of law, but there is no way to ban those who voluntarily. Once banned, many prostitutes who use selling their flesh as a means of survival will not be able to survive. After all, this is not the society of equal men and women in the future. Once the means of survival are lost, their fate will be even more miserable. Besides, prostitutes cannot be forbidden, and the means of oppression can only be maintained for a while. In time, they will inevitably rekindle. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong's usual idea is to control and guide. After all, there is black and there is white. Without black, white will naturally not survive. This is actually the same as if things have yin and yang.

"Sister Xiaowan, have you ever thought about getting rid of the current life?" Zhu Yinglong suddenly thought of the travel company in later generations. Dong Xiaowan was actually a very competent tour guide. The domestic tourism market in the Ming Dynasty was basically dominated by individuals and the form was relatively scattered. If there was such a travel company, it could not only standardize the market, but also gradually cultivate a tourism market to promote consumption, market flow, and the economy could also develop faster. It does not seem to be much profit now, but it is difficult to say in the future.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Dong Xiaowan's cold face suddenly seemed to be covered with bright red rouge, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Youth is fleeting, Sister Xiaowan, have you ever thought about your future?" Zhu Yinglong had no other meaning. He deliberately wanted to help Dong Xiaowan, and by the way he wanted to launch the business methods of travel agencies in future generations to help Dong Xiaowan start a career.

However, Zhu Yinglong was too anxious and did not consider Dong Xiaowan's feelings. After hearing this, Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but look down on him a lot. His previous good impression faded, and he had the same idea that all men in the world had. A hint of unpleasantness flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Xiaowan never thought about it."

"Master." Li Xiangjun also had a wrong idea and quickly gave Zhu Yinglong a wink.

Zhu Yinglong also realized that he was a little impatient and smiled apologetically: "I mean, has Sister Xiaowan ever thought about what to do in the future? What plans do you have? Don't think wrongly."

"Oh!" Dong Xiaowan's cheeks turned slightly red for no reason.

"I have an idea. I wonder if my sister Xiaowan wants to hear it?"

"Brother-in-law, please tell me."

"That's right, with your current job, Xiaowan, you can set up a travel agency..." Next, Zhu Yinglong explained the establishment of the travel agency to the personnel structure and management methods and models to Dong Xiaowan and other girls one by one.

This is clearly tailor-made for himself. Dong Xiaowan's face became more and more surprised. If she opened such a travel agency in this way, it would not only have a legitimate industry, but also get rid of her status as a low-key business. There are many merchants in Jiangnan, especially in ancient cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. It is even more like a place where tourists come and the prosperity of tourism industry. It will definitely be a source of wealth, and you will have nothing to worry about at that time!

"Xiaowan, if you succeed in this career, you will definitely become a hero among women. Even Mei'er was a little moved by what the master said." Gu Hengbo's eyes were full of love when he looked at Zhu Yinglong, and he said in great envy.

After hearing this, Dong Xiaowan was fascinated. Although she was indifferent, arrogant and self-admired, and had a weak sense of money, she was burdened by money. If she could get rid of the embarrassment of money, she still yearned for it very much. After all, her taste in life is beyond ordinary people. Without the support of money, she would not be able to achieve that kind of quiet and free state.

What Dong Xiaowan was embarrassed was that the scene depicted by Zhu Yinglong was very beautiful and attracted her, but she had no capital, especially as a weak woman, she would probably be ten times more difficult than a man to accomplish such a career.

"Sister Xiaowan, I have decided to support you in opening this travel agency!" Gu Hengbo stood up for the first time and supported, "Sister has a Meilou in Yangzhou, and there is still some spare money around him. About three thousand silver dragons will be handed over to you."

Someone took the lead, and the next thing would be easier. Li Xiangjun and Yang Lianying also took out the savings over the past few years, which was about 5,000 silver dragon yuan. Kou Baimen and Chen Yuanyuan also took out 1,000 silver dragon yuan, almost all their belongings. Thinking of the Bian Saisai sisters who were still in Nanjing, Zhu Yinglong took out 2,000 silver dragon yuan as the investment of the two sisters, and also took out 5,000 silver dragon yuan as the reward for Dong Xiaowan's use of them as a guide this time, and he also invested 2,000 silver dragon yuan.

, After this calculation, Dong Xiaowan added another private savings of 6,000 Silver Dragon Yuan, becoming the first shareholder of Jiangnan Travel Agency, accounting for 30% of the shares, Gu Hengbo's 15% of the shares, Li Xiangjun and Yang Lianying sisters accounted for 25% of the shares, Kou, Chen, and Bian sisters each accounted for 5% of the shares, and the remaining 10% of the shares will naturally belong to Zhu Yinglong. If it were not included in the sisters Chen Yuanyuan and Bian Saisai, Zhu Yinglong and his family would occupy 55% of the total shares.

The leader in the tourism industry was established in such a dramatic way in later generations, and even the Bian sisters became one of the shareholders without knowing it.
