Chapter 309: C word paper considerations

  Chapter 309 Consideration of the C-word paper

  Of course Liu Xianglian did not explain to Xue Pan, but to Feng Ziying, but Xue Pan was very happy when he heard this, and he felt that the other party paid attention to him.

   "Swallow Tower?" Feng Ziying was even more surprised.

  Didn't Liu Xianglian say that he was playing tickets around the Liang Pavilion? Why did he go to the Swallow Tower again?

   Isn’t the Swallow Tower competing with Mingyue Tower and Raoliang Pavilion?

  Seeing that Feng Ziying was even more curious, Liu Xianglian coughed awkwardly, and couldn't explain it in front of Xue Pan, so she just said: "Brother Yu still has some things to discuss with you, which is what you said last time..."

  What did you say last time? Only then did Feng Ziying react.

   This Liu Xianglian seems to be tempted. The theater market in the capital is huge. It is estimated that he has been investigating during this period of time, and now he has an idea, which is why he is like this.

This is a good thing. If you can set up a theater in the capital that you own, not to mention the profit, but just to say that such a place with a lot of people from all walks of life. , this alone is worth it.

Seeing Xue Pan standing aside eagerly, waiting for an answer, Feng Ziying thought for a while, if Liu Xianglian wanted to set up such a theater in the future, then in the capital city, everyone from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns would be the only ones. Gotta make a deal.

Gongxun's children like Xue Pan, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu are undoubtedly the most important group among them. Not only can they bring business to the opera house, but they also make a lot of friends and make many friends. In the street, it is undoubtedly an important group worth wooing.

"Wenlong, since you are so sincere, then I will come to the banquet with brother Xianglian in the evening, but before the ugly talk, you are also a child of the Xue family after all, so you still have to follow some rules, don't be foolish all day long." Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your mother and sister, and also think about the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion. This four-nine city in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, is not like Jinling , you still have to be careful, don't let something happen, even Uncle Ling may not be able to protect you."

  Feng Ziying's unkind words could have been someone else's. I was afraid that Xue Pan would turn his back on him, but he really didn't dare to talk to Feng Ziying.

I didn’t talk about the meal a few days ago, but now Feng Ziying’s popularity is in full swing, and I can listen to it at any time when I live in the Lixiangyuan of Jia’s Mansion. The envious tone is really different.

  In addition, seeing that this handsome and incomparably handsome Liu Xianglian is Feng Ziying's family friend, he wanted to get acquainted with Feng Ziying, if he hated Feng Ziying, I'm afraid there would be no chance.

Seeing that Xue Pan just nodded submissively, but did not refute, Feng Ziying also found it strange, and couldn't help joking: "Wenlong, that's all I've said, but let's not talk about today's matter for now, turn your head around that day's matter." I just ran away, and said that I will be rewarded, and I am waiting for your reward."

  Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, and then he said carelessly: "Brother Feng, as long as Xue Wenlong can get it, you can just say it, Wenlong will do it for you even if he begs his father to sue his grandma."

Feng Ziying laughed, this guy is really arrogant, his mouth is really unusual, he dares to agree to anything, he waved his hand, "Okay, Wenlong, go back quickly, we will go there on time in the evening The banquet is."

   After sending Xue Pan away, Feng Ziying asked about Liu Xianglian's visit to Swallow Tower.

"That's right, after you talked to Brother Yu that day, Brother Yu has been thinking about this matter. As Brother Yu said, it's not the way to sit and eat like this, but Brother Yu doesn't want to rely on anyone, and he doesn't have any other preferences. If you can earn a living by playing tickets, it’s not a bad idea.”

  Liu Xianglian glanced at Feng Ziying, and said sternly: "Brother Yu knows that you are thinking for my brother, well, you may have other plans, right?"

   I didn't expect Liu Xianglian to think of this, but Feng Ziying didn't hide it, "There are some other considerations..."

Waving to stop Feng Ziying from talking, a smile flashed across Liu Xianglianjun's face, "That's good, brother Yu is afraid of becoming a burden to my virtuous brother, and my virtuous brother has other plans, so that brother Yu feels at ease, and I don't have to talk to my virtuous brother." Let me talk about your other considerations, I believe you will not harm Brother Wei, but you also know that Brother Wei likes to socialize, but he doesn't know anything about the specific business, and if you really want to set up such a theater theater, I'm afraid The cost is not small,…”

  Liu Xianglian has been wandering the rivers and lakes for several years. Although she has returned to the capital city, she is not bad in the world. In the past few days, she has been carefully thinking about the expenses of this theater.

Calculating it all together, it simply costs one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver to settle down. From the selection of the site, even if there is an old house, it needs to be remodeled and expanded, adding facilities, and then it is necessary to form its own team and contact other supporters. , and then to gain fame, win over a group of customers, and have the means to deal with those bachelors who eat for nothing, none of which is easy.

It's no wonder that these theaters are not only backed by wealthy merchants and wealthy businessmen, but also have the backing of big shots with deep backgrounds in Beijing. They can't lack in any aspect. If it's Liu Xianglian herself, it's a no-brainer. Even the Feng family, it is not easy to support such a stall.

   "Do you find it difficult?" Feng Ziying smiled and walked into the house with Liu Xianglian, but Yun Shang was nowhere to be seen.

  Feng Ziying's small courtyard has also been remodeled and expanded a lot outwards, along the original veranda and wing rooms, forming an independent double courtyard.

  The inner courtyard was appropriately expanded on the basis of the original small courtyard, with two additional wing rooms on each side and a small patio, but the layout of the main hall remained unchanged.

The outer courtyard was newly built. Two side rooms were specially reserved, and the extra outer wing room was added to form a small outer courtyard. Ruixiang and Baoxiang live in this outer courtyard now, and there may be one or two more in the future. The boy comes in.

The inner courtyard has expanded a lot, but Duan is still dissatisfied, thinking that it can only be temporarily used by Feng Ziying for a year or two, because Feng Ziying has been studying and observing politics in the Imperial Academy for the past two years, and has to live in the house. In the past when she was studying in the academy, this girl naturally had to make up for it, so she expanded it so simply.

   In the future, when Feng Ziying gets married, she will still have to choose another courtyard.

  The two sat down in the main hall of the outer courtyard, but Baoxiang ran up to pour tea and brought it in.

"Where is Yunshang?" Feng Ziying now finds that she can't leave Yunshang more and more. This Baoxiang is not stupid, but the tea served, whether it is tea or water, does not feel so palatable. Baoxiang, who is honest and pleasing to the eye, feels a little bit out of his wits.

   "Sister Yunshang has a guest, in the inner courtyard." Baoxiang didn't know the situation, and Xiao Mimi's eyes always seemed to be awake, and she said cheerfully.

  This is a new thing, Feng Ziying seems to have never met Yunshang with a guest, this girl is almost an orphan in the capital city, except for the people in Feng's mansion, I am afraid that only a few people in Jia's mansion recognize her.

Liu Xianglian also knew that Yunshang was the most proud person in front of Feng Ziying, so she smiled and said: "Ziying, you are not too young now, and your status is different. Which of these good people who watch politics is as good as you?" A maid? Is it still the case when you become an official and a master in the future? My aunt also told Brother Yu that you don’t want a maid for you, so what are you going to do?”

  Feng Ziying didn't expect that even Liu Xianglian knew about her family, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Why is my mother nagging about such things to Brother Xianglian?"

"Hey, Brother Yu still knows what Auntie wants, so I hope you can continue the incense for the Feng family as soon as possible." Liu Xianglian laughed, "You will be fifteen to sixteen soon, this time There are quite a few fathers at your age outside."

"Let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about your business, brother." Feng Ziying waved his hand to signal Baoxiang to retreat, and then Feng Ziying said: "If brother Xianglian really wants to do this, then of course we need to plan carefully. Intention?"

"Well, brother Yu has been running on this matter for a while, and initially selected a few places, but the most suitable one is a garden at the entrance of Shaojiu Hutong in Nanxunfang." Liu Xianglian pursed her lips, obviously very fond of that one. "It used to be a dilapidated temple there, but after the dilapidated temple collapsed, it was taken back to the government and built a mansion in Jiancheng. Later, the mansion was given to a minister at that time during the Guangyuan period, but something happened to the minister later. , the whole family was exiled, and some of them couldn't bear the pain, so they hanged themselves before leaving, so this mansion has been haunted by ghosts, and gradually fell into decline,..."

   "Official residence?" Feng Ziying frowned, this is not easy to deal with.

"No, even the emperor couldn't give this mansion to the ministers, so he sold it and turned it into a theater. It's just that although the theater has a good location and occupies a large area, it hasn't been repaired for decades. It was dilapidated, and it became a place for a small team to practice before going on stage,..."

  Liu Xianglian really put a lot of thought into understanding all the situation very carefully, and it seems that she really wants to do something about it.

   "What does the elder brother mean...?" Feng Ziying still didn't understand what the other party meant.

"It occupies a lot of land, and it's too dilapidated. The owner is a senior doctor in the Ministry of Industry, and he passed it on to his son. His son wants to let go now..." Liu Xianglian paused before saying, "Brother Yu, go I have seen that if you buy it, such a garden will need to be refurbished and expanded, it will cost a lot,..."

   "A question about the silver?" Feng Ziying nodded, "How much silver will it cost to buy it, and if it is renovated according to the elder brother's wishes?"

Liu Xianglian has such a bold temperament, now she is a bit stunned and hard to say, she pondered for a long time, and said: "I guess it will cost two to three thousand taels of silver to buy it, but it is because the space occupied is too dilapidated, there is room for renovation and expansion. If it gets bigger, it might cost five to sixty thousand taels at least, and at least seven to eighty thousand taels of silver, but this is counting all the things needed in the garden,..."

Nanxunfang Shaojiu Alley is outside Donganmen, the east entrance of the alley is connected to Ganyu Alley, the south is Xijia Hutong and Siyi Hall, and the north is Nailzi Mansion and Etiquette House. The location is quite good, and the adjacent Nanxunfang , Dashiyongfang, Chengchengfang, and Mingzhaofang are all home to many rich and noble families, and they are really good places.

"Brother Xianglian, I'm not afraid of spending money, but have you considered how to run this theater?" Feng Ziying thought for a while, and then said slowly: "If it takes so much money, if you give up halfway, or if you don't make a decent one. It's meaningless when things come up, and my younger brother also intends to find one or two more friends to do it together, so that it can be done well,..."
