Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 254: Everything for a Living
Su Hongluo left after helping Li Si clean up the dishes and tidy up the courtyard.
Before leaving, she looked at Li Si with lingering feelings and said: I find that I am beginning to be reluctant to leave you.
After saying that, she left without any sign of reluctance, leaving Li Si with a mess.
Li Si walked back to the villa with a depressed look on his face, gathered all the children, and repeatedly stated that he would not marry Su Hongluo, let alone marry Su Hongluo. Only then did the children's faces look a little better.
At the same time, the children also secretly reached a firm consensus that they must not let Su Hongluo kidnap their husband.
Otherwise, with her ferocious appearance, she will definitely bully the gentleman in the future.
I don’t know whether Li Si would cry or laugh if he knew what these children were thinking.
Does he look like he could be bullied so easily?
You know, if you rank him according to his martial arts skills, he is now considered one of the top masters in the world.
Although he didn't dare to say that he was the best in the world, after all, in such a world, no one knew whether there was some old monster hiding in some corner.
But as far as the people on the stage now are concerned, there are really few people in this world who can fight with him.
Of course, the children don’t know anything about this.
In their eyes, Li Si is just a gentle villa owner who is indifferent to worldly affairs. They have the obligation to protect Li Si and tell him not to be deceived by those bad women outside.
In the next few days, thanks to the one hundred taels of silver from Su Hongluo, life in Wenlai Villa became much more comfortable . Although it was still not rich, it could be said that they had enough food and clothing.
But Li Si obviously did not intend to stop there. If possible, he would like to send a few children who were interested to private schools.
Although he himself had some knowledge of later generations, he knew little about the writings of the Tang people. Therefore, if he wanted these children to achieve academic accomplishments in the future, sending them to school would be an essential step. However, this would be a considerable expense.
Therefore, Li Si had no choice but to continue his business.
After all, even if he wasn't doing it for the money, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing after getting some money.
It should be the morning of the third day when Li Si received a business order from an acquaintance:
Go and help the girls in the brothel attract some customers.
The reason why they say they are acquaintances is that they have asked Li Si to help with similar things before. It seems that Li Si did a good job before, so the other party came to the door again.
In fact, it was more than good. The brothel business that day increased by 30% compared to the previous day.
Even now, some people are still asking where the "girl" who was soliciting customers went.
That’s right, to solicit customers for a brothel, you have to dress up as a girl.
It has to be admitted that Li Si was a little resistant to this at first, but considering that he had a family to support, he no longer thought about it.
There's no way around it. As long as you don't steal, rob or break the law while making money, it's not shameful.
Those girls in the brothels don't want to be prostitutes. They are all trying to make a living. Who can look down on anyone?
Besides, he only needed to pull the passing guests into the building, and he didn't need to worry about anything else afterwards. Each guest was half a tael of silver, which was already one of his most profitable businesses.
After considering all this, Li Si didn't think too much about it and agreed to it.
The next day.
In the early morning, the Jinxiang Pavilion was not open yet and the girls were still sitting in their rooms dressing up.
At this time, no one knew who shouted outside.
"Mr. Li is here!"
For a moment, some girls put down the hairpins they had not put on yet, some girls threw away the rouge they had just applied, and some girls even walked out wearing only a thin shirt.
They were either standing upstairs or by the window, but they all looked down at the downstairs with shining eyes and asked.
"Where is it? Let the sisters see it."
"Humph, you haven't been here for so many days, you must have forgotten about us."
"Hey, Mr. Li, are you going to be the red girl or the green girl today?"
…
A group of young ladies upstairs were chatting non-stop, while downstairs, Li Si was touching his nose awkwardly and standing with the waiter in the store with a wry smile.
To be honest, even though he had only met them once, he had a pretty good relationship with these girls.
He didn't look at them differently , and they were quite surprised at how brave he was to come to the brothel and dress up as a girl.
After all, not everyone is willing to do this kind of thing, but not everyone can do it either.
If the madam of Jinxiang Pavilion had not been attracted by Li Si's appearance when he passed by , such a ridiculous commission would probably not have appeared.
"Cough cough." Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the madam of Jinxiang Pavilion stood aside and coughed twice and said.
"Girls, Mr. Li will be in our building today as usual. You should all behave yourself and don't tease him for no reason. If he doesn't come next time , I won't be responsible. Do you understand?"
"I know~" After hearing what the madam said, some girls had no choice but to respond.
But some girls still insisted.
"Oh, sister Li is so beautiful, how can we bear not to tease her? Mother Jin, you are killing the sisters."
She rolled her eyes at the girl who spoke, but Mother Jin also knew that they were just talking nonsense and they still had to be sensible when it came to their actions.
Turning around and smiling at Li Si politely, Mother Jin stuffed a fifty-liang silver note into Li Si's hand and spoke.
"Then Mr. Li, please get ready first. When the door opens later, you can just do the same as last time."
"Well, I reflect on myself." Li Si put the banknote into his arms.
"In that case, thank you, Mother Jin, for taking care of me."
"Oh, no matter how hard you try, I still have to thank you, Mr. Li, for supporting my business. Go ahead."
Mother Jin waved her hand and sent Li Si upstairs.
In a blink of an eye, the girls in the building became lively again.
"Hey, Mr. Li, let me help you put on rouge."
"Mr. Li, how about I help you draw your eyebrows? I draw the most beautiful eyebrows."
"Mr. Li, I have a new skirt here, would you like to try it on?"
"Mr. Li, do you want to take a shower first? I have a new box of incense."
…
Amidst the chatter, Li Si used his lightness skill to the extreme and in a flash he passed through the crowd and hid in the room that Mother Jin had prepared for him.
Mr. Li knows some martial arts, and is quite powerful. The girls in Jinxiang Pavilion already knew this.
Seeing Li Si running into the room and closing the door, they looked at each other and smiled, then surrounded Li Si's door again, knocking lightly and spoke.
"Mr. Li, please open the door. The sisters won't eat you."
Inside the room, Li Si locked the door without hesitation and stood there for a long while, covering his face.
He took a deep breath and said to himself silently.
It’s all about living, living life.
