Chapter 166 Fengran
Chapter 166 Fengran
On the day the store opened, it seemed as if the whole city of Kyoto was setting off firecrackers, it was extremely lively.
After all, Gu Lanzhi opened so many stores at the same time, so it's normal for there to be some noise.
Gu Lanzhi took a carriage to look at a few shops from a distance, then took a carriage out of Kyoto City to see the progress of Zhuangzi.
"Son!"
As soon as Gu Lanzhi got off the carriage, Madam Mei and a dozen other people saw Gu Lanzhi and ran over to salute him.
Gu Lanzhi looked at these people with a smile, "How do you feel about coming to Kyoto these few days?"
After seeing the real Madam Mei, Gu Lanzhi was very glad that he did not let these people into the house to pay their respects.
Because these dozen people really have different styles and temperaments, but it is easy to see that they are not ordinary people.
If he really entered the Marquis' Mansion, it would be strange if people didn't spread gossip about him.
"Kyoto is quite prosperous, and the customs and habits are very different from those in the border area. They are very different." Madam Mei said with a smile.
"Well... have you adapted? Do you understand?" Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked the dozen or so people.
"Well... Sir, even if the customs and habits are different, they are still human beings after all. As long as they are human beings, we will treat them well." A girl next to Madam Mei said with a smile.
Gu Lanzhi nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the manor with the dozen people while talking to them.
"I asked you to come here to help me look after the villa, and I didn't really want you to entertain guests.
All you have to do is to make the villa run smoothly and manage your people well.
As for yourselves, do as you please."
Gu Lanzhi didn't make his words very clear, but they all understood.
"Don't worry, sir. We all understand this," said Madam Mei.
"Also, help me get to know the dignitaries in Kyoto. I was in the border before, and I know very little about the social customs in Kyoto. I rely on you to help me understand it."
"We all know it. Mo Er told us when we got here. We know exactly what to do."
"That's good. The villa will be completely built soon, and you won't have to stay in the inn anymore."
"Sir, you see, the houses on the waterside pavilion have been built, and we are thinking of living there temporarily.
Our villa is quite large, we want to spend more time here and learn more about the villa."
Gu Lanzhi turned around and looked at Madam Mei. "Don't be so anxious, right? Don't you like staying in an inn?"
"It's not that we don't like it. We just think that this villa is very cleverly built. If we don't know much about the villa, how can we train our people in advance?
Besides, it’s quite troublesome for us to commute here every day since we live in the city.
The house has been built, and we have settled down temporarily, and can also receive the girls and officials who come one after another.
Sir, to be honest with you, the girls in the brothels in Kyoto City are really not as good as the girls we found and I am yours."
Gu Lanzhi understood what Madam Mei had not said yet. She was simply saying that those young ladies and officials were not as pretty or as good at serving others as the ones Madam Mei and her friends had found.
"Besides, sir, the girls in Kyoto city are all arrogant. How can they please the guests?" a handsome official said.
Gu Lanzhi turned around and looked at the minor official. He was also a pitiful man.
This minor official is called Feng Ran, and like Gu Lanzhi, he is a young man.
There are not many boys in this world. Normally, boys are cared for by their families, but Feng Ran was born in a poor mountain village.
When he was three years old, a wealthy family came to the village and bought him away.
This is a common thing in the village. Any boy born in the village will usually be bought by rich people and taken home to be raised.
After all, there are very few men, and marrying a man is a symbol of status.
Families with some wealth would take the doctor to the countryside to find the brother.
What's more, if the boy is raised in the village, he will be no different from other boys. He will have to farm when he needs to farm and work when he needs to work. It would be better to sell the boy early and get some money to supplement the family income.
Feng Ran had a few good years after being sold, but his luck was not very good. The family that bought him offended someone and their business was closed down.
In order to save their own family members' lives, the family offered Feng Ran as a sacrifice.
Feng Ran came to the second family, but this second family already had a young man, and his age was similar to the young master of the family. The two grew up together, so naturally they didn't care that much about Feng Ran.
Not long after, the second family gave Feng Ran as a gift to the third family.
Third, there was no boy in the family, so Feng Ran was naturally well taken care of.
But it was also in this family that Feng Ran suffered great harm.
Feng Ran is very beautiful, speaks softly and has a good personality. There are three young masters in this third family, and all three of them like Feng Ran.
It has to be said that Feng Ran is very charming, which makes the three young masters fall in love with him.
But when Feng Ran entered the mansion, she was prepared for the eldest young master. Naturally, the eldest young master did not want Feng Ran to have much contact with the other two brothers.
Feng Ran was only twelve years old at the time and lived under someone else's roof. Naturally, she listened to the eldest young master and did not contact the other two young masters.
But people are like this, the more they can't get something, the more they want it. The more Feng Ran didn't see the other two young masters, the more the other two young masters worried about her.
After getting drunk one time, the second young master broke into Feng Ran's yard and raped Feng Ran, who had just turned twelve.
After the incident, the eldest master could not bear to see his future wife being raped by his second brother, so he started fighting with him. Feng Ran was also tied up and thrown into the woodshed.
Originally, the master wanted to sell Feng Ran to prevent the two brothers from making further trouble because of Feng Ran.
Who knows whether the eldest young master was angry or for some other reason, he broke into the woodshed at night, not only raped Feng Ran, but also tortured her the entire night.
At that time, Feng Ran could no longer see any hope. It didn't matter whether he would be sold or not. He was destined to be sold as a commodity since birth. Feng Ran no longer resisted, and he could not resist.
But what no one expected was that before Feng Ran was sold, the Third Young Master forcibly took Feng Ran away.
From that day on, Feng Ran became the plaything of the three brothers and was locked up in the woodshed, where she was played with by the three brothers for four years.
During this period, Feng Ran became pregnant with two children, both of whom were lost at the hands of these three beasts.
Actually, it's quite good. If Feng Ran gave birth to the child, how would the child live in the future? Feng Ran didn't even know whose child it was.
Just like that, when Feng Ran was sixteen years old, the master of the host family felt that he could not go on like this, so he sold Feng Ran, this scourge, to a brothel.
