"Dad! What are you talking about!"

Madam Xiao tugged at Duke Anguo's sleeve, and Ji Lian spoke up,

"Dad, I was just joking. Now that we've met people, let's continue on our way."

In the distance, the younger generations of the Xiao and Ji families were standing together and greeting each other. Ji Yiheng looked at Jiang Tunan and asked Xiao Mingli,

"How is it, are you getting along well with your new cousin?"

Xiao Mingli thought for a while, then said carefully,

"My cousin is a very nice person, but she doesn't like to get close to others. But I think it's normal. We are both men, and my cousin is a girl, so it's natural that she doesn't like to get close to others."

"Nonsense, it's obviously you who can't get close to your cousin, don't drag me into this."

Xiao Mingxu suddenly appeared and exposed Xiao Mingli mercilessly. Ji Yiheng laughed out loud at this funny scene.

"There are girls in Kyoto who don't like you? When you were in the Imperial College, there were crowds of people at the entrance every day after school..."

"Okay, you can go now. This way please."

Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and sent Ji Yiheng away, then got on his horse without saying a word. He didn't know how to get along with his sister in the past, so he was not sure about Jiang Tunan's temper.

Ji Lingyue stood beside the crowd, eagerly watching what was happening over there with Jiang Tunan. When he saw Jiang Tunan coming over, he immediately stepped forward.

"Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Tunan greeted Ji Lingyue in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Miss Ji."

"Miss Jiang, can I ride in a carriage with you?"

Jiang Tunan was a little puzzled, and Ji Lingyue immediately explained,

"My second brother is too noisy. I don't want to ride in the same car with him."

Ji Yichen, the innocent victim:?

"It's not you, little sister..."

Ji Yiheng pushed Ji Yichen away and said jokingly,

"Look, the four cousins ​​of the Xiao family are all riding horses, but you are the only one who has to squeeze into a carriage with my little sister. No wonder they despise you."

Ji Yichen had nothing to say. His riding skills were so bad that he could only ride in a carriage.

"Our carriage is spacious, and it won't be crowded even if there's one more person."

Luo Yunqing said beside her that she wanted Jiang Tunan not to think too much. Jiang Tunan could make friends with Ji Lingyue, which was what Luo Yunqing wanted to see. Before, every time she saw Ji Lingyue, he looked cold and unapproachable. She didn't expect that he would take the initiative to get close to Jiang Tunan today.

"Then let's go together."

Jiang Tunan naturally took Ji Lingyue's hand, and they got on the carriage together. Luo Yunqing sighed at the back, saying how great it was to be young, and then he took Xiaobao on the carriage.

The Xiao family and the Ji family's team merged together and continued on their journey. Ji Lingyue got closer to Jiang Tunan in the carriage.

"Miss Jiang, are you still writing your storybook?"

"Don't call me Miss Jiang, you can call me Xiaonan."

Ji Lingyue nodded happily.

"Then you can call me Ling'er, as my sisters at home also call me that."

Jiang Tunan replied,

"Ling'er, I don't have time to write a story recently, but if you want to know the ending, I'll write it for you first."

Ji Lingyue nodded quickly, but then his eyes became a little confused.

"When I read your manuscript before, I found that there were many omissions. Why didn't you write them down?"

Jiang Tunan himself forgot what he wrote.

"for example?"

Ji Lingyue sat up straight and said seriously,

"For example, in the storybook, after the hero locked up the heroine with a golden chain, he grabbed her chin fiercely, and that was it. What happened next?"

Luo Yunqing looked up in shock. Is this something he could say? Jiang Tunan was petrified instantly. How could this girl not avoid people at all?

“The following is the paid content, which is not very convenient to write, haha.”

Jiang Tunan smiled awkwardly, but he didn't expect Ji Lingyue to throw a silver note at him.

"I paid, can I talk now?"

Jiang Tunan: ...

Jiang Tunan looked at Luo Yunqing somewhat helplessly, but he did not expect that Luo Yunqing's expression was also very complicated at this time. She held Xiaobao in her arms and silently covered Xiaobao's ears with her hands.

Xiaobao:? Why can’t I hear it?

"It's not convenient to talk about it now. Wait for me to go back and polish it."

Ji Lingyue expressed his understanding, his eyes sparkling.

"Xiao Nan, I'm waiting for your new work!"

Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief and silently let go of Xiaobao's ear.

"cousin!"

Jiang Tunan lifted the window curtain and found that it was Xiao Mingxu again, and this time Ji Yiheng was with him.

"Miss Jiang."

Ji Yiheng greeted him politely and Jiang Tunan nodded in response.

"Cousin, you haven't told me yet, how do we market the music studio?"

"That depends on what type of music studio you want to go for. If you want to build a music studio similar to Changgefang, it will not only require long-term financial investment, but also connections.

The target customers of Changgefang are the dignitaries in Kyoto. They need not only services and consumption environment that match their status, but more importantly, security. Changgefang is backed by the Huangfu family, so ordinary people cannot enter, which is a great help in protecting the identity of the guests.

If it was a music house opened by an ordinary person, any official son in Kyoto would be able to outdo it. If they were even more unlucky, two official sons would fight in the music house one day. No matter who won or lost, one of them would suffer. If the one who suffered could not vent his anger on the other, he might take it out on the music house.

In Changgefang, many people, for the sake of the First Royal Merchant, dare not easily cause trouble in the music house. After all, if you dare to touch the Royal Merchant, it is equivalent to touching the purse of Daxing. "

Xiao Mingxu nodded secretly. Jiang Tunan's words made sense.

"Then what kind of music studio do you think there could be other than Changgefang?"

Jiang Tunan thought that in ancient times, places like music halls and brothels, apart from improper transactions between men and women, might have also been used to exchange information. However, if one only wanted to open a music hall for pure performances, it would be similar to a modern theater.

"Cousin, let me ask you, does Changgefang make money from singing and dancing performances?"

"Of course not. Not to mention how high the threshold to enter Changgefang is, even regular customers have to order a cup of scented tea every time they go. The cheapest scented tea costs several taels of silver. Secondly, the wine and fruit plates in Changgefang are not cheap, not to mention a table of food."

Ji Yiheng was listening attentively nearby and didn't even notice Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingli approaching on horseback.

"What are you thinking about? Don't be distracted while riding."

Ji Yiheng made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Hush, listen."

The two turned their heads to look and saw Jiang Tunan leaning on the carriage window, saying seriously,

"If you don't want to do the same as Changgefang, you might as well raise the performance fee and reduce other expenses. There are not only dignitaries in Kyoto, but also ordinary people. Don't ordinary people like to watch singing and dancing? It's just that poverty restricts them.

The music halls in Kyoto focus their income on tea and food, and singing and dancing performances are just a bonus. If I were to open a music hall, I would open one that ordinary people can afford. Everyone buys a ticket to enter, and each person has a seat. If the show is popular, I can also sell standing tickets, and of course the price can be lower.

There is no compulsory consumption of tea and food in the venue, just enjoy the performance, no sexual transactions."

Ji Yiheng said with some doubt at this time,

"This kind of music club shouldn't make any money..."

Jiang Tunan understood what Ji Yiheng meant. In this era, few men would sit down and enjoy the performances at the music hall. Moreover, this kind of entertainment was not a necessity for the common people and was only an occasional consumption.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult to make a lot of money if you just do this, but I just mentioned two consumer groups, and there is another group that I didn't mention."
