A mountain couldn't accommodate two tigers, but a palace could accommodate two little lolis. Since Princess Shouning didn't have insomnia at night, even her temper became much better. She changed from a fierce little tiger to a docile little tiger. Occasionally, when Yong Ning was in a daze, she would sit next to her and watch her for a while.
Li Yi now deeply understood what it meant to not worry about scarcity but to worry about inequality. Even sisters would be jealous. Fortunately, his family was much more stable. Ruyi had always been indifferent and never cared about these things. If Miss.Liu liked something, she would always do it herself. Why would she be jealous in secret?
The arrogant lolis's anger finally subsided. She wouldn't snort at him for no reason. Monarch Jin, on the other hand, looked a little haggard these two days. He just had a shallow understanding of multiplication and division, and the problem of when Li Lei would catch up with Han Meimei made him feel like dying. He secretly flipped through the exclusive booklet that the teacher gave him. At the end, there was even the problem of a pervert putting a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage and counting their legs. Poor Monarch Jin felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless quagmire, and he was sinking deeper and deeper, unable to climb out …
On the wall outside Bowen Hall, the four little red flowers behind his name had become the most gorgeous color in Monarch Jin's eyes.

"Can you not always wander in front of me if you have nothing to do? Is it very idle to be a supervisor?" Li Yi looked at Li Xuan who was walking around in the room, rubbed his eyebrows, and said angrily.
Just now, when the little servant girl massaged his shoulders, he almost fell asleep. In the end, his dream was still disturbed by Li Xuan.
Li Xuan said while pacing, "Recently, I have encountered a few problems. Help me think of a solution."
"I will tell you a way. In the future, if you have any problems, you don't need to ask me anymore." It seemed that he couldn't sleep anymore, so Li Yi stood up from the rocking chair and said.
"What is it?" Li Xuan looked at him expectantly.
Li Yi looked at him and said, "Write down the problems you encounter and paste them on the walls of Jingdou wherever there are many people. If you don't know where there are many people, go to the Ministry of Justice and ask. Wherever they usually put up the wanted posters, paste them there."
"Will this work?" Li Xuan had a doubtful expression on his face.
"You'll know once you try." Li Yi looked at him, "Believe me, if you can put up a reward of ten taels of silver, your efficiency will increase by several times."
Li Xuan had encountered several technical difficulties in his research. Li Yi could provide him with theoretical support, but many aspects of this era were too backward. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice, so many of his ideas could only temporarily stay at the level of ideas.
Once these difficulties were overcome, Li Xuan would have nothing to do for a long time. After the dream of flying in the sky was realized, the next step was to go to the moon. The possibility of the dream of all mankind being realized in Li Xuan's hands was not high.
Li Yi was not particularly concerned about whether Li Xuan could find folk masters or not. He still had a lot of things to do.
In a five-star restaurant in Jingdou, Li Yi sat by the window on the second floor of a seat on the window. He poured a cup of tea and listened to the sound of musical instruments coming from downstairs. Old Sun was reporting something to him.
"Miss Wan sent a letter yesterday, saying that she might have to stay in Qing 'an Prefecture for a while. The business of the brothels in Jingdou is very good, but we don't have enough people. Maybe because we're new here, the performers here don't trust us very much … At the beginning, there were some local ruffians who caused trouble, but they were all taken care of by us and didn't cause much impact …"
"Don't worry. Have a cup of tea and talk slowly." Li Yi also poured a cup of tea for Old Sun and handed it to him.
In reality, the development of the brothels in Jingdou was not as smooth as imagined. There were many obstacles. Fortunately, Old Sun and the others were able to overcome them one by one. At the beginning, they went to Jingdou alone and couldn't even find a place to stay. Now, they gradually gained a foothold. Even with Li Yi's help, it was not easy.
Next to Old Sun, a thin middle-aged man coughed lightly and said, "The main thing is that we don't have enough people. Most of them stayed in Qing 'an Prefecture. If we want to develop enough people in Jingdou, we can't do it in a short period of time."
Li Yi looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better today?"
"Thanks to Sir, I'm fine now," the middle-aged man called Lü Luo said with a smile.
Li Yi glanced at the man beside him who only cared about eating and then looked at the middle-aged man opposite him. He still had reservations about whether or not the two were really brothers.
The man who was eating heartily was called Lu Mang. Just like his name, he was the one who wanted to rob them that day, but in the end, he was humiliated by Miss Liu. The middle-aged man in front of him was his older brother, Lu Luo. At that time, Lu Luo was seriously injured. The reason why the middle-aged man wanted to rob them was to treat his brother's illness.
Although Lü Luo's appearance was ordinary, he was very capable. He worked in the brothels and in a short period of time, he managed to take care of everything related to the ranking list of the martial arts society. This time, Old Sun specially brought him along when he came to Jingdou.
A while ago, Li Yi specially asked Imperial Physician Liu to take a look at him. The skills of the director of the Royal Academy of Medicine were not just for show. He pointed out a few old injuries in his body and after a few acupuncture treatments, he was more or less healed.
"There's no rush with the matter of the brothels. Let's take it one step at a time …" As Li Yi and Old Sun were talking, two figures came up from downstairs. The one in front was an old man in ragged clothes. A plainly dressed young girl carrying a guzheng followed behind him.
"Sir, do a good deed and give us a few copper coins …" The old man held a gong in his hand and walked around the tables upstairs in front of the customers. Only a middle-aged man threw two copper coins into the gong. The others waved their hands as if they were shooing away flies.
"You were the ones playing just now, right? Not bad. The young girl already has some skills." Old Sun stood up and walked over. He took out a piece of silver and put it into the gong in the old man's hand. Then, he walked back and sat down.
Li Yi knew that Old Sun had a great compassion for performers, especially these kind of wandering performers. He also took out a few pieces of silver and put it in.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
The old man didn't expect these two customers to be so generous. The silver added up was probably more than one tael. It was equivalent to half a month's harvest. He bowed and said.
"What song does sir want to listen to? Do you want my daughter to play a song for you?" The old man looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi saw the young girl biting her lower lip with a timid expression. He smiled and said, "Then play a song. Just play what you are best at."
"Then play 'Shuidiao Getou'!" The old man immediately said to the young girl.
"'Shuidiao Getou'?" Hearing this, Li Yi paused for a moment. Then, he smiled and nodded. He said, "Then play 'Shuidiao Getou'."
"Shuidiao Getou" was the name of a poem. Since it was a poem, it naturally had a song and lyrics. The young girl nodded slightly. Her fingers lightly plucked and a soft sound came out. After a prelude, she opened her mouth and sang in a small voice, "When will the moon be clear? Holding a cup of wine, I ask the blue sky …"
Not far behind the young girl, in a room, a few young people were exchanging cups. In the corner, a young man who had been silent for a long time suddenly raised his head and asked, "What is that sound?"
The people at the table immediately froze. One of them closed his eyes and listened carefully for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's the tune of 'Shuidiao Getou'. Ever since Li Yi's poems from Qing 'an Fu spread to the capital, it can often be heard …"
Halfway through the person's words, he suddenly realized that the people beside him were giving him looks. In a shock, he immediately thought of something. The name "Li Yi" was a taboo among them. He looked at the young man in the corner and his face immediately paled.
…
…
Li Yi was not very well-versed in the way of music. At most, he only felt that the young girl played very well. When he heard her sing, "People have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes," the door to a room in the back suddenly opened. A young man angrily walked out of the room and pointed at the young girl. He said, "What are you playing to disturb my mood? Get out of here!"
