    Dalang had no idea that the owner of this small courtyard he had hired by mistake actually had an unspeakable identity.

    The owner of this household is the lover of the deposed emperor.  This beauty also gave birth to a son for the deposed emperor, and very few people knew her identity.  Moreover, they are all the confidants of the deposed emperor.  They left some people to protect the mother and son, while others have been secretly carrying out activities in an attempt to restore the deposed emperor's empire and help the child ascend to power, so they have been spending a lot of money.

    Although the deposed emperor left them a lot of property, they couldn't help spending money on their activities, so they had to find ways to make money, and the most popular Qin Lou Chu Pavilion in Huainan naturally became the best in their eyes, and  The most profitable place.  Besides, this beauty came from a brothel, so she naturally knows the ropes.

    ¡°And the beauty is quite shrewd. She knows that she must hide and cannot show up. Naturally, the money that comes in and out of those places cannot be used by her. She has to do everything secretly and secretly.  Therefore, she had to find a way to earn some money on her own, and it had to be consistent with her status as an orphan and a widowed mother.

    This way of making money by renting out your own house is the safest and does not require much energy.  After all, these guests have been carefully selected, and they are all short-term tenants who will leave soon.

    Although one hundred taels of silver is very small, it cannot support ten or eight batches of guests in a year. There are also those who spend a lot of money, and they will pay one hundred taels for a stay of three to five days.  Therefore, he can earn at least one thousand taels a year, which is enough to support the mother and son, as well as the servants, wives and guards at home.

    The only source of livelihood for their family is a small village, and its output is barely enough to cover the family's expenses.  If you are not mature enough, you will no longer be able to support your family. How can you support such a big family without making some money?

    Moreover, this beauty was raised in fine clothes and fine food since she was a child. Although she was a prostitute, the girls who were raised as oirans all lived a very luxurious life. Later, she followed the deposed emperor and naturally lived an even more luxurious life. It was too poor.  Naturally, she can't live a life like this.

    "Besides, she also has a son, and this son is raised as a prince, so the cost is naturally not small.

    There are a total of ten servants and ten guards in this house, all of whom are secret guards with strong martial arts skills, and some of them are eunuchs and palace maids.  This shady prince also has two masters, one who teaches literature and the other martial arts.  It's just that Master Wu doesn't live here all the time. He spends most of his time traveling outside. Naturally, he relies on the guards at home to practice martial arts. The master who teaches literature and reading is an ordinary scholar on the surface, but he has inconvenient legs and feet.  , has always lived in seclusion and never appeared outside.

    Although the neighbors all know their family, very few have seen them. However, it is normal for orphans and widowers from a wealthy family not to interact with outsiders.  So no one can tell when they moved here.  During the war, many people did move around, and most of the aboriginal people in this area also moved around.  They all became people who didn¡¯t know each other¡¯s details.

    Dalang and Xinhu naturally didn't know these things. They settled in and were very satisfied with this small courtyard.  This is more comfortable and quiet than staying in an inn. After all, you don't have to go in and out with others, and you don't have to worry about Xin Hu's identity being exposed.  There are only two of them in the small courtyard. No matter how hard they work, they don't have to worry about outsiders knowing.

    This is equivalent to a small courtyard specially opened in a secluded area. Although it is not big, it can actually accommodate a family. It seems very empty with just the two of them.  The two of them only used one main room in total.

    The yard is fully equipped with all facilities, including a small kitchen with pots and pans.  Xin Hu simply asked the old servant not to bring them hot tea. It was more convenient for her to boil the water herself. She only needed to fill the water tank for them.  And she wasn't used to being served by outsiders.

    The old servant readily agreed, and soon a strong man came over carrying a bucket, and the jar was filled with three loads of water.

    "Does the guest have any other instructions?" the old servant asked.

    "By the way, where should we use water for washing clothes?" Xin Hu asked.  As a woman, she naturally couldn't leave her clothes to an old servant to be washed.  Even if you are drying it, you have to do it carefully and not let others see it.

    The old servant looked surprised and asked, "Don't you need us to help you wash the clothes?" These two guests didn't bring anyone with them. Could it be that they still had to wash the clothes themselves?  Although there are many people who can do their own laundry, a customer who can spend only one hundred taels of silver is obviously not a cash-strapped owner, not to mention their two horses. The old servant knows the goods very well. These are two very special horses.  Good horse.  These are not ordinary goods used by ordinary merchants.?I really want to experience the experience of drinking flowers and drinking wine. This is a real brothel.  I wonder if Dalang will take her to see things.

    "Of course there is. Isn't there a restaurant in front of you?" Dalang pointed to the front. Sure enough, there was a particularly tall small building, and there were sounds of drinking and punching coming from inside.

    "Hey, that's not bad." Xinhu said happily.

    There were several tables in the lobby, and the private rooms were probably full. The two of them were used to it, so they naturally sat down in the lobby.  The waiter who greets the guests is extremely quick in his movements, and he also eloquently names a bunch of signature dishes.

    The two of them ordered three dishes and one soup. They didn¡¯t ask for wine. They ordered two bowls of rice and ate slowly.  Although the dishes were all ordinary, they tasted pretty good. Xin Hu was not in the mood to enjoy the food at the moment, and listened to other people talking and laughing with his ears open.

    Most of what these people talk about is gossip about the Lotus Festival. In addition to smoke, willow, and light dust, there are also many new names.  It can be seen that there are quite a lot of beauties participating. No wonder people from all over the country flock to the event.

    Listening to people expressing their love for those beauties loudly from time to time, Xin Hu almost thought that she had returned to modern times. This was the first time she had seen such open folk customs in this era.  It seems that people here don't care about those feudal ethics.

    "Let's go back." Seeing the excitement on his face, Dalang quickly brought her back, fearing that she would run away with the group of people.  Those who can eat, drink and talk loudly here must be people of some status. If Xinhu really hangs out with them, he may have to join in the fun again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
