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

Li Mu let go of his hand, got off the wall, threw the dust on his body, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't get in the way here."

Dugu Jiu doesn't understand love, but values ​​loyalty. Although he hates Li Siwen, there were three people when he came and two when he left, and he still felt that it was a bit inappropriate. Dugu Jiu glanced at Li Siwen, who had a very happy conversation with Qin Yu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother, are we leaving like this?"

"They are husband and wife, and the couple meet for the first time. Of course, there are countless things to talk about. Why do you think we are doing here?"

Dugu Jiu still didn't know what was going on and said, "Brother, I see that Qin Yu seems to be a little skilled, Li Siwen is not her opponent..."

Li Mu was too lazy to explain and walked forward. Dugu Jiu hesitated for a while when he saw him like this, but he still followed. After all, this is the Qin Mansion, and Li Mu didn't know how to do it. If he encounters a guard and makes any mistakes, it would be amazing.

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

Returning the same way, he came down from the exterior wall, and the two brothers returned to the street. It was already a time when everything was silent. There was no one on the street, only a few dog barking from time to time. Dugu Jiu followed Li Mu quietly. His light skills were profound, and there was almost no footsteps when walking on the road. This feeling was actually a bit scary. There was obviously someone else, but there was no footsteps, as if a ghost was floating behind him.

"When I came out, I told your sister-in-law that I won't go back tonight. There are still several hours before the skylight. Let's go to the gambling house to have a rest there."

Chongyifang, where the Duke of Yiguo is located, is located on the east side of Pingkangfang. You only need to cross one road to Pingkangfang. When you go back to Jingdongji, you have to pass through four fangs. Not to mention the long journey, it is also possible to be discovered by Wuhou. Although Li Mu's identity is not afraid of Wuhou's investigation, if it reaches Li Shimin's ears, he must have to listen to a few nagging, not to mention that he doesn't want Li Shimin to know about Li Siwen.

Dugu Jiu didn't make any noise, and he had no objection to making decisions. Moreover, he followed Li Mu and didn't have to worry about him getting into trouble.

I had no words all the way, and came to Pingkangfang.

Unlike other shops that close the door and quietly quiet after nightfall, Pingkang Floor is the only shop among the 108 shops in Chang'an City that can be seen all night long. After passing the shop door, there are various wine shops and shops with lanterns hanging high, and of course, more brothel gardens.

There were one or two gambling shops, but they were not even as good as the weather. The Tang Dynasty had fewer ways of playing and equipment, mostly just simple things like guessing and Ye Zi Card. They played more in private, but they really acted as less buying and selling. The most important thing was gambling. In ordinary people's eyes, they were half, and the winners and loses accounted for half. No one can guarantee that they would win more, so they dare not take the market to start a business.

Even if you dare, the guests who come to play will be worried. What if I win, what if you don’t repay it? The customers almost never come to join forces, and they always feel that it is difficult for the store to support it. In this way, the gambling house will naturally not be prosperous.

But Li Mu opened a Sihai Gambling House without these disadvantages at all. First of all, his gameplay and equipment were not available before. They were very novel and playable, so they would not be bored. And the trust issue was even more worrying. Will a person who threw money on the street give you the ten thousand marks of money to repay?

Although Li Mu's reputation outside is mixed, his integrity has always been well-known in terms of money. At first, when he said that he regarded money as dirt, most people thought it was a joke, but now this has become one of his symbols. No one doubts, and even his opponent, although he can't figure it out, would never doubt what he did for money.

Sihai Gambling House has now become one of the landmarks of Pingkang House. There are endless guests coming to play, with tens of thousands of yuan a day, and it is still growing rapidly. Li Mu has never mentioned the current profit rate to anyone. He has made more than a dozen accounts and adopted the cross-accounting method. The accountant is only responsible for one part, and they don’t know how much it is. Only by putting all the accounts in one place can you tell how much you have made.

It is still in the rising period, and it is not difficult to earn more than 10,000 yuan a day.

This made Li Mu feel that the leeks in Chang'an City are still strong. Moreover, they are leeks that no one has cut before, and they still have certain potential to tap.

After Li Mu came to Chang'an City, the most intuitive feeling was that the cultural and entertainment activities of the people of the Tang Dynasty were too lacking. When he was purchasing in the West City, he saw someone surrounding a venue. Two Kunlun slaves fell and attracted 180 people to watch. It can be seen that the people of the Tang Dynasty really had no entertainment.

People’s preferences are summed up in four words: eating, drinking and having fun. Being able to be called together with eating and drinking shows the importance of fun to people. This is a necessity, so Li Mu put his business map on the "play" that has not been operated by anyone in the Tang Dynasty. This is like entering a blue ocean, with no competitors in the vast market, and money comes quickly and easily, which is simply a pleasure.

Li Mu and Li Siwen rushed past the door and glanced at it. Seeing that there were many guests, Ergou was busy supporting him, so he didn't go in. Instead, he came to the opposite Lichun Courtyard, which had not yet opened.

The main purpose of running Lichunyuan is to accommodate people who have nowhere to go to. Li Mu did not want to do a "meat" business, so after he bought half of Pingkangfang, he had already talked with the women here once. Some people who wanted to do their original work could receive a severance payment and then go to other gardens in Pingkangfang to make a living. This way of handling is done in this era, and no one stood up to accuse Li Mu of what he was wrong.

Those who have such ideas have already received the money. Now the rest are either old and weak, or some people who don’t want to live their original life and plan to start over. Li Mu gave them the condition that they would guarantee their food and clothing under any circumstances. Then, depending on each person’s situation, they would give them another wage. On the basis of such conditions, there is an additional benefit, that is, if they meet a husband who is in love in the future, Lichunyuan will give a dowry so that the girls who leave Lichunyuan will not be discriminated against in their in-laws’ home.

Such humane treatment gives the people who choose to stay more protection in their hearts. They also cooperate with Li Mu's other arrangements to the best of their ability.

However, the situation is not so optimistic.

Just imagine, if you are beautiful, or if you have a good person in Jiaofangsi, who can choose to stay? Those who can stay are either old or yellow, or ordinary people who are really beautiful, young and talented. The entire Lichunyuan is full of plans, and it may be the two sisters Jin Chen and Yinyue.

Simply put, Lichunyuan is equivalent to a re-employment base for laid-off employees of Yuanjiaofang. So far, Li Mu has been paying money to ensure their lives. Except for some of them being selected some time ago and being chosen to be a waiter at Sihai Gambling House, most of the remaining people are still worried about their future destiny.

No one believes that anyone will always support them. Even if Li Mu has money, it is impossible. This is the common idea of ​​everyone. They all think that maybe Li Mu is busy recently and hasn't remembered them. When he thinks about that day, it will be time to dismiss them.

According to Li Mu's style of doing things, he might give a severance fee. Just like those who chose to leave before, they are different from those people after all. After those who leave, they either go to other gardens or seek favors, they have a place to settle down. And those who stayed behind have their own conditions and have no place to seek refuge. Even if they give some money, they will just spend all their money sooner or later.

Then, will the ending be the same?

As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone else is happy, but the people in Lichunyuan are completely opposite. They sigh every day. When the night is quiet, people often cry. In the dark, they endure and suppressed crying, like ghost crying. When unknown people hear it, they will be scared to pee their pants.

Li Mu and Dugu Jiu were not good at coming in from the main entrance, so they circled around and climbed over the wall from the back door while no one was paying attention. As soon as they landed, Jin Chen and Yin Yue discovered that Yin Yue grabbed the scimitar under the pillow, came to Jin Chen, and protected her behind her.

Yin Yue's ears moved and she whispered: "Saint...sister, I'm over the wall alone."

She came to the window and carefully pushed open the crack. When she saw Li Mu and Dugu Jiu, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that there were two people, which means that one of them perfectly hid the sound of her footsteps. How high is this light skill!

"It's Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu and his brother." Yin Yue looked back at Jin Chen and said, "Sister, that person is so light-hearted!"

"Shh." Jin Chen signaled Yinyue to put down the scimitar and waved her to come back. Yinyue returned to the bed, and Jin Chen whispered: "Pretending to be ignorant, you can't alarm the snake."

At this time, Li Mu's slap in the door sounded downstairs. Someone went to open the door and saw that it was Li Mu, so he quickly saluted: "Mr. Marquis Wanfu-"

"Okay, no need to salute. That...we brothers are because of that. Anyway, there is a reason. I won't tell you in detail. We will rest here tonight, make an empty room, and have some food for you. I'm hungry."

Li Mu naturally had no reason to agree to the request. There was a noise downstairs, and those who were rushing to quit the room and cooking. Someone ran up and knocked on Jin Chen's door. Jin Chen and Yinyue looked at each other, put on their clothes and opened the door.

"Sister!" When the visitor saw Jin Chen, he actually knelt down without hesitation. Jin Chen was startled and hurriedly knelt down with him, reached out to support the kneeling girl, and said, "What are you and my sisters? Why are you kneeling on me?"

The girl burst into tears and said, "Sister, the Marquis is here. Although I don't know why the Marquis came here late at night, the sisters all felt that this was a good opportunity. If we can serve the Marquis well, our sisters still have a way out. If we miss this opportunity, we sisters will..."

As he said that, the girl's tears flowed out, and she grabbed Jin Chen's hand tightly and said, "Sister, we are the most beautiful in the garden now. Sister, we are not cheating you. If you can be with the Marquis... it is also a good thing for you. You have a good home. The sisters are happy, just ask the sisters to say something to their sisters, please, good sister!"

Yin Yue couldn't help but say angrily: "You are so cruel. You don't ask the saint... Are you willing or not?"

The girl raised her head, looked at Yin Yue like a fool, and said blankly: "That's the Marquis of Zhulu!"

Yin Yue was angry and wanted to refute her. She was stopped by Jin Chen and said, "The Marquis is not a woman who is addicted to women, and I... am not very beautiful. Compared with the Marquis' wives and concubines, it is not enough that the Marquis may not be able to like me. But for the sake of my sisters, I will do my best."

The girl burst into tears and said, "Thank you sister! My sister is going to boil wine for the Marquis. We have discussed it and will help my sister achieve what she wants."

Jin Chen thought to himself, why did I achieve what I want? Didn’t you arrange it? But she didn’t take it seriously. Anyway, it was her plan to get close to Li Mu, and she was just going with the flow.

Watching the girl leave, Jin Chen looked at Yin Yue and said, "Why can't you hold back so much? Have you forgotten the purpose of our two coming to Chang'an?"

Yin Yue pursed her lips and said without saying a word, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Saint, I just think that you sacrificed too much like this."

"This is my destiny, it's all for the tribe members. What can be considered sacrifice?" Jin Chen smiled and said, "I won't say that anymore, come and help me dress up."

Yinyue held back her tears, nodded, lit a candle, brought water to clean and dress up Jin Chen.

At this time, Li Mu was already a little regretful about coming here. Seeing these women busy, he felt like he was Tang Seng entering the Kingdom of Women. Why did these women’s eyes shine green in their eyes!

But it’s not easy to leave just now when he comes, not to mention that he has Dugu Jiu, the bodyguard. Seeing that the situation is not good, he can escape at worst, and there is nothing to be scary.

Although Li Mu rarely comes here, he fulfilled his promise well and never lacked the cost of Lichunyuan. Today is the New Year, and he specially instructed him to send two sheep to Lichunyuan. Women eat less, or dare not eat more, and only half of the two sheep are eaten. They are all women here, and there are too many people who know how to cook. When Li Mu comes, there is no need to save it. Everyone works together, and in a short while, several dishes were prepared.

Li Mu was really hungry, and when he came up with the food, he didn't think much about it, so he grabbed a sheep rib, and dripped it into some sauce made of unknown things, and started to chew it. The same is true for Dugu Jiu. When he was eating, it was the only time when Dugu Jiu refused to let Li Mu. Because when he was hanging out with Li Chongyi, he had already developed a conditioned reflex. If he didn't rush to eat, he would be left with bones.

The two brothers were having fun eating, with oil stains on their hands, clothes, and corners of their mouths. Suddenly, a woman turned lightly with the sound of the piano. Li Mu had seen it in the West Market. This was the Hu people's "Hu Xuanwu", but the dancing skills of the woman in front of him were obviously higher than the time he saw it.
