Chapter 458: Dancing to figure out the shadow

At this time, on the other side of the wall, Li Mu and Dugu Jiu saw it clearly.

Li Mu let go of his hand, came down from the wall, threw himself on the dust, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't get in the way here." ”

Dugu Jiu doesn't understand love, but he attaches great importance to righteousness, although he hates Li Siwen, but when he came, there were three people, and when he left, he still felt a little inappropriate. Dugu Jiu glanced at Li Siwen, who was chatting happily with Qin Yu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Big brother, let's leave like this?" ”

"People are husband and wife, two people, the first time they meet, naturally there are countless things to talk about, what do you say we are doing here?"

Dugu Jiu still didn't open his mind, and said: "Big brother, I see that Qin Yu seems to have some skills, and Li Siwen is not her opponent......"

Li Mu didn't bother to explain, and walked forward by his own care. Seeing him like this, Dugu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still followed. After all, this is the Qin Mansion, and Li Mu doesn't know kung fu, if he encounters the guards and something goes wrong, it will be terrible.

In the face of this choice, Li Siwen can only ask for more blessings.

Returning the same way, coming down from the outer wall, the brothers returned to the street. It was already a time of silence, and the streets were deserted, except for a few barking dogs from time to time. Dugu Jiu followed behind Li Mu quietly, his light skills were profound, and there were almost no footsteps on the road. This feeling is actually a bit scary, there is obviously a person on the side, but there is no footsteps, as if there is a ghost floating behind him.

"When I came out, I told your sister-in-law that I wouldn't go back tonight. At this time, there are still several hours before the light of day, so let's go to the gambling house and rest there. ”

Chongyi Fang, where the Yiguo Mansion is located, is just east of Pingkangfang, and you only need to cross a road to reach Pingkangfang. From here back to Jingdongji, you have to go through four squares. Not to mention the long distance, there is also a high possibility of being discovered by Wuhou. Although Li Mu's identity is not afraid of Wuhou's interrogation, if it reaches Li Shimin's ears, he will have to listen to a few words of nagging, not to mention that he doesn't want Li Shimin to know about Li Siwen.

Dugu Jiu didn't make a sound, and he didn't have any opinions on decisiveness. And he followed Li Mu, and he didn't have to worry about him messing with flowers and grass.

Nothing to say all the way, came to Pingkangfang.

Unlike other squares that close their doors after darkfall and are silent, Pingkangfang is the only one of the 108 squares in Chang'an City that stays up all night. After the gate of the fang, there are various wine shops, shops, and of course, more green buildings and gardens with lanterns hanging high.

There were originally one or two gambling houses, but none of them became a climate. There are still few ways to play and utensils in the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are superficial things like guessing coins and leaf cards. There are more games in private, less real deals, and the most important thing is to gamble, which is half in the eyes of ordinary people, and half of the winners and losers. No one can guarantee how much they will win, so they dare not sit in the bank to open a business.

Even if you dare, the guests who come to play will be worried, what if I win and you don't pay? There are almost no customers who come in groups, and there is always a feeling of unsupportability in the face of the shop, so the gambling house is naturally not very prosperous.

But Li Mukai's Four Seas Gambling House is completely free of these drawbacks. First of all, the gameplay and equipment he has here are all not available before, and the novelty and playability are very high, so that he will not be bored. As for the issue of trust, no one is even more worried. A man who throws money on the street, will he send you to pay that hundred-hundred-hundred

Although Li Mu's reputation outside the country is mixed, but only in terms of money, his integrity has always been well-known. At first, when he said that he regarded money as dung, most people thought it was a joke, but now it has become one of his trademarks, and no one doubts, not even his opponents, although they can't figure it out, will never suspect that he does something for money.

Four Seas Gambling House has now become one of the landmarks of Ping Hong Fang, with an endless stream of customers who come to play, tens of thousands of daily turnovers, and it is still growing rapidly. The current profitability rate, Li Mu has never told anyone, he has made more than a dozen account rooms, using the cross-bookkeeping method, the account room is only responsible for one part, they don't know how much exactly, only by putting all the account books in one place, can you see how much money has been earned.

At present, it is still on the rise, and it is not difficult to have a daily net income of more than 10,000 yuan.

This made Li Mu feel that the leeks in Chang'an City were still thriving. And it's a leek that no one has cut, and there is still a certain potential to be tapped.

After Li Mu came to Chang'an City, one of the most intuitive feelings was that the cultural and entertainment activities of the people of the Tang Dynasty were too lacking. When he was shopping in the West Market, he saw someone surrounding a venue, and the two Kunlun Nu wrestling could attract 180 onlookers, which shows that the people of Datang really don't have much entertainment at ordinary times.

People's preferences boil down to just four words, eating, drinking and having fun. It can be weighed with eating and drinking, which shows the importance of play for people. This is a rigid need, so Li Mu put his business territory on the "fun" that no one in Datang has systematically operated, which is like entering a blue ocean, the vast market has no competitors, and the money comes quickly and easily, which is simply beautiful.

Li Mu and Li Siwen walked through the door, glanced at it, and saw that there were a lot of guests, and the second dog was busy supporting him, so he didn't go in, but came to the opposite side, which had not yet opened.

The main purpose of running the Reiharu Temple is to shelter people who have nowhere else to go. Li Mu didn't want to do the "meat" business, so after he bought half of Pingkangfang, he had already talked to the women who were originally here, and those who wanted to do their original jobs could receive a severance pay and then go to other gardens in Pingkangfang to earn a living. This kind of treatment, in this era, can be described as benevolent and righteous, and no one has come forward to accuse Li Mu of not.

People who think like this have already received the money and left. What is left now are either old and decrepit, or some people who don't want to live their old lives anymore and plan to start over. Li Mu gave them the condition that no matter what the circumstances, they would be guaranteed food and clothing. Then, depending on each person's situation, another salary is given. On the basis of such conditions, there is an additional benefit, that is, if you meet a compatible Langjun in the future, Lichun Yuan will give a dowry, so that the girl who goes out of Lichun Yuan will not be discriminated against in her in-law's family.

Such humane treatment gives those who choose to stay an extra guarantee in their hearts. For Li Mu's other arrangements, he also did his best to cooperate.

However, the situation is not so rosy.

Think about it, if you are beautiful, or if there are good people in the Teaching Division, who can choose to stay? The ones who can stay are either old and yellow, or people who look average, really beautiful, young and talented, and the entire Lichun Courtyard is full of calculations, and it may be the two sisters of Jinchen and Yinyue.

To put it simply, Lichun Yuan is about the same as the re-employment base for laid-off employees of the former Education Division. So far, it has been Li Mu who has been subsidizing money to protect their lives. Except for some of them who were selected to work as waiters in the Four Seas Gambling House some time ago, most of the rest of the people are still worried about their future fate.

No one believes that someone will keep raising them, even if Li Mu has money, it is impossible, this is the common idea of everyone. They all felt that maybe Li Mu had been busy lately and didn't think of them, and when they remembered the day, it was time to dismiss them.

According to Li Mu's style of doing things, he may be given a severance pay. Just like the people who chose to leave before, but they were different from those people after all. After those people took the money and left, they either went to other gardens, or went to a good friend, they all had a place to live. And those who stayed behind were not in good condition, and there was no place to go to them, even if they gave some money, they were just sitting on a mountain and eating nothing, and sooner or later they would still spend it.

When the time comes, won't the ending be the same?

Approaching the New Year, when everyone else is happy, the people of Lichun Yuan are diametrically opposed, sighing every day, when people are quiet at night, people often cry out, in the dark night, the cry of forbearance and suppression, as if a ghost crying, unknown people listen, can be scared to pee their pants.

Li Mu and Dugu Jiu came in from the front door, went around in a circle, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, and came in through the back door over the wall. As soon as the two of them landed, Jin Chen and Yin Yue noticed it, and Yin Yue grabbed the scimitar under the pillow and came to Jin Chen's side and protected her behind her.

Yinyue's ears moved, and she whispered, "Holy ...... Sister, alone, came over the wall. ”

She came to the window, carefully pushed open the slit, and when she saw Li Mu and Dugu Jiu, she was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that it was two people, that is to say, one of them perfectly hid his footsteps, what a light work!

"It's Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, and his brother." Yinyue glanced back at Jin Chen and said, "Sister, that person is so light!" ”

"Shh Jin Chen motioned for Yinyue to put down the scimitar and beckoned her to come back. Yinyue returned to the bed, and Jin Chen whispered, "Pretend not to know, you can't startle the snake." ”

At this time, Li Mu's knock on the door sounded downstairs. Someone went to open the door, and when he saw that it was Li Mu, he hurriedly saluted: "Hou Ye Wanfu-"

"Alright, no need to salute. That one...... Our brothers, it's because of that, anyway, there is a reason, and I won't tell you in detail, I'm going to rest here tonight, make an empty room, if there is anything to eat, get some, Ben Hou is hungry. ”

Li Mu's request was naturally not allowed, and there was a commotion downstairs, vacating the room and cooking. Someone ran up and knocked on Jin Chen's door, Jin Chen and Yinyue glanced at each other, put on their clothes and went to open the door.

"Sister!" When the visitor saw Jin Chen, he knelt down without hesitation. Jin Chen was startled, hurriedly knelt down, reached out to support the kneeling girl, and said, "Sister, what are you doing, you and I are sisters, why are you kneeling me?" ”

The girl burst into tears and said, "Sister, Master Hou is here." Although I don't know why Hou Ye came here late at night, the sisters all feel that this is a good opportunity. If we can serve the good Hou Ye, our sisters still have a way to live, if we miss this opportunity, our sisters can ......"

Saying that, the girl's tears flowed out, grabbed Jin Chen's hand tightly, and said, "Sister, we are full of gardens now, and you have the best appearance." Sister, we are not cheating on you, if you can ...... with Master Hou It's also a good thing for you, you also have a good home, and the sisters are happy, just ask my sister to say a word for my sisters, please, good sister! ”

Yinyue couldn't help but say angrily: "You are so ruthless, you don't ask the holy ...... Is my sister willing or not? ”

The girl raised her head, looked at Yinyue like a fool, and said, "That's a deer hou!" ”

Yin Yue was angry, and she wanted to refute, but was stopped by Jin Chen and said, "Master Hou is not a person who indulges in women, and I ...... It's not so beautiful, compared to the wife and concubine of the Hou Ye, it is not enough in case, the Hou Ye may not be able to look down on me. But for the sake of my sisters, I will do what I can. ”

The girl burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, sister!" My sister went to scald wine for Hou Ye, we all discussed it, and we will definitely help my sister achieve her wishes. ”

Jin Chen said in his heart, why did I achieve what I wanted, wasn't it arranged by you? However, she didn't take it seriously, anyway, it was her plan to get close to Li Mu, and she just happened to push the boat along the water.

Seeing the girl leave, Jin Chen looked at Yinyue and said, "Why can't you hold your breath like this?" Have you forgotten the purpose of our two coming to Chang'an? ”

Yinyue pursed her lips silently, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Holy Maiden, I just think that your sacrifice is too great. ”

"This is my fate, it's all for the sake of my clan, what is a sacrifice?" Jin Chen smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, come, help me make up." ”

Yinyue held back her tears, nodded, lit a candle, brought water, and dressed Jin Chen.

At this time, downstairs, Li Mu already regretted coming here a little. He saw these women busy working, which made him feel as if Tang Seng had entered the daughter country, how could these women's eyes glow green!

But it's not good to come and leave like this, not to mention that he still has Dugu Jiu, a bodyguard, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will run away if it's a big deal, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Although Li Mu rarely came here, he also fulfilled his promise very well, and he never lacked the use of Lichun Courtyard. Today is Xiao Nian, and he also specially instructed him to send two sheep to Lichun Courtyard. The women ate little, or did not dare to eat more, and the two sheep ate only half of them. There are all women here, and there are many people who can cook. Li Mu came, and there was no need to save it, everyone worked together, and after a while, several appetizers were sorted out.

Li Mu was really hungry, and when the wine and food came up, he didn't think much about it, he directly grabbed a lamb rib, dipped it in a sauce that he didn't know what it was made of, and gnawed it directly. Dugu Jiu is the same, when eating, it is the only time when Dugu Jiu does not let Li Mu go. Because when he and Li Chongyi were messing around, they had already developed a conditioned reflex. If you don't rush to eat it, if you are not careful, you will only be left with bones.

The brothers were eating happily, and their hands, clothes, and mouths were all covered with grease stains. Suddenly, a piano sounded, and a woman accompanied by the sound of the piano, lightly spun over, Li Mu had seen it in Xishi, this was the Hu people's "Hu Xuan Dance", but the woman's dancing skills in front of him were obviously higher than the one he saw.
