The heavens were fair. Everyone gained something, but at the same time, they would lose something else.
As a member of the royal family, Li Xuan didn't have to worry about food and clothing from the moment he was born. Every day, he had a large group of servants by his side, respectfully calling him "Little Prince" and "Little Prince". In this Qing 'an prefectural city, he could be said to have everything he wanted.
If he was in a good mood, he could bring a large group of guards to tease women on the streets, visit brothels without paying, and even bully prostitutes every day. It wasn't a big problem to realize the dreams of the majority of his fellow men.
In this era where the rule of man was greater than the rule of law, for a little prince, these weren't big things at all.
However, because he was a little prince, there were many things that he couldn't decide himself.
Disregarding other things, at least when it came to marriage, he, who had advanced ideas, was still like most people. He was bound by the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. He didn't have any room to choose.
In fact, he was even more pitiful than those people. Because his marriage was bound to be mixed with politics or other factors, it was destined to not be so simple.
The two of them had known each other for a long time. Although Li Yi had almost completely integrated into this place and there was no barrier between him and Ruyi, Ruyi, Xiao Huan, and Fang, speaking of true friends, the only one who could be said to be Li Xuan, whose actions were also out of touch with this era.
It was a pity that the things he was born with would one day become a burden on his shoulders. This was something that Li Yi couldn't change and couldn't change.
Not everyone could live the life they wanted. These things could only wait for him to slowly adapt to.
When his gaze moved from the door of the shop to the top of the wall, the young girl listening to the story had long disappeared.
"Young master, it's cold outside. Do you want me to help you in?"
It was winter. Even if the weather was good, there were only two hours in the afternoon when one could bask in the sun. After that, it gradually became colder. When Xiao Huan walked into the courtyard again, she felt a slight chill and walked over to speak to Li Yi.
"There's no need to enter the house. Let's take a walk outside." After lying down for a long time, Li Yi really did not want to return to that bed. At this time, he also did not have the mood to tell the servant girl stories to relieve her boredom. He supported his body and slowly stood up from the chair.
If he continued to stay in such a small courtyard, he would really die of boredom.
"Son-in-law, you were injured yesterday, you can't go out." Xiao Huan hurriedly ran over to support him, wrinkled her nose and said.
Li Yi waved his hand and didn't let her help him.
After lying down for a while, he had regained some of his strength. It was not to the point where he needed help to walk.
"I won't go far. I'll just take a stroll in the house next door." The wound on his leg didn't hurt his muscles or bones. As long as he didn't travel long distances, there wouldn't be any problems.
At this moment, he finally understood why there weren't as many otakus in ancient times as there were in modern times.
Without mobile phones and computers, most people were illiterate and had nothing to do to pass the time. Those who stayed at home were bored to death.
It was no wonder that the business of the brothels and taverns was so good. Those who had nothing to do would only drink and gamble, which were the few hobbies left.
"Then I'll go ask Miss first." She didn't have the power to make a decision on this kind of matter. After saying this, the servant girl quickly ran away.
Seeing her quickly run to find Ruyi, Li Yi sighed in his heart. This little girl was really hard to raise. He was the one who told her stories, and he was also the one who bought her clothes, jewelry, and snacks. For such a small matter, he actually had to report to Ruyi.
"My husband's body is weak. Don't go far. Let Uncle Fang follow."
Liu Ruyi agreed in the end. The condition was that Fang was brought along.
After experiencing what happened yesterday, she was also worried about letting Li Yi go out alone.
Fang was very happy about this task. Going out with the son-in-law was much better than staying here to look after the shop. Moreover, he suffered a lot last night. Now he had to see him personally to be at ease.
The entrance of Wa City was not far from Ruyi Square. It was Xiao Huan's first time to enter such a place. She was very curious about everything around her. In the sheds by the roadside, there were many people performing. For a moment, she didn't know which one to see.
Fang had been here before. In the past, he didn't want to spend a few copper coins. Later, he didn't lack money anymore. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he specially went to another Wa City.
Li Yi still chose the brothel that he had been to before. The place was spacious and comfortable. After entering the door, his expression was slightly stunned.
In the brothel today, there were more customers than the previous two times.
Although it was not a full house, the good seats were all occupied. Li Yi, Xiao Huan and Lao Fang could only choose a secluded seat. Just as they sat down, the young waiter ran over to them eagerly.
"Sir, what would you like …"
Asking each customer what they would like to order was actually a standard routine here. Although the tea was only sold for two copper coins per pot, if each customer could order a pot of tea, wouldn't it be a considerable income for the restaurant?
Just as the waiter opened his mouth, he saw a young face and immediately said, "I know, a pot of tea, right? Please wait for a moment, the tea will be served soon! "
"Come back!" The waiter just turned his head and Li Yi waved his hand.
"Do you have any other orders, sir?" The waiter hurriedly turned his head.
"Two pots this time." Li Yi glanced at Fang. One pot of tea might not be enough for two people and Fang.
This time, it wasn't the old storyteller on stage. Instead, it was a female singer who was singing. Her voice was quite pleasant to the ears, and there were a few female dancers behind her. Ever since Old Fang entered the room, his eyes had never left the singer.
If the stage wasn't too small and the audience was too small, it would really feel like a concert in the future.
Li Yi suddenly had a strange idea. If he built a venue that could accommodate tens of thousands of people in this world and held a few concerts, what kind of scene would it be?
Then, he felt that it was impossible to realize this idea. After all, there were no microphones or sound systems here. The venue was so big that even if the loudest singer shouted herself hoarse, she wouldn't be able to be heard by everyone in the venue.
"Your tea."
A clear and somewhat familiar female voice came from the opposite side. The girl who listened to his ghost story on the wall placed two pots of tea on the table and sat opposite Li Yi.
Her eyes met with Xiao Huan's. The two people who were scared at the same time just now snorted and turned their heads away, no longer looking at each other.
