"Okay, young master, sit down!" Lao Tu's horse whip waved, and the iron-clad wheels rolled slowly, running over a stubborn grass in the cracks of the road, carrying a wisp of smoke and dust far away.

Li Yi sat in a carriage and drove west from Dongmen Street. Half a moment later, he finally arrived in front of Prince Bo's Mansion. The two stone lions of the Thirteen Taibao in front of the stone steps were still majestic and majestic.

The two guards with swords in front of the door squinted at the black-faced young man who got off the luxurious carriage in front of them.

"Hey, two brothers, may I ask -" Li Yi came over and said with a smile.

A guard stared at the black-faced young man in front of him with some surprise - in his impression, there seemed to be a character that perfectly matched the young man's image.

"Prince Bo's Mansion, no idlers are allowed to break in!" The guard waved his sword and held Li Yi two meters in front of the door.

Li Yi curled his lips helplessly and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, I'm Li Yi."

"Li Yi?" The guard slowly withdrew his sword and stared at him in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Li Yi was a familiar boy. He immediately walked over with a smile and lowered his voice and said: "Hey, buddy, you know, I'm here to see my wife..."

"Daughter-in-law?" The guard hesitated for a moment, then froze for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for Princess Jade?"

"Yes!" Li Yi flicked his right hand and threw the folding fan away, only to see two lines of poetry written on it - "The belt is getting wider and wider, but I will never regret it. I feel haggard because of it."

Ahem, of course these two sentences were "composed" by someone casually. He waved the folding fan pretending to be free and easy, and whispered: "Brother, how about it, for the convenience, let me go in to surprise my wife?

"

The guard glanced at Li Yi with a strange expression, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

At this moment, the door behind him opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out. This man walked out, glanced at Li Yi, rolled his eyes, then touched his lips with a mustache, and said in surprise

: "You are the fifth son of the Li family?"

Gee, my name is too loud, right? The butler glanced at me and recognized it.

Li Yi shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "That's right."

"I wonder why the young master is here?" the steward said, cupping his hands.

Li Yi coughed twice - the other party's words were elegant, and he could no longer respond casually like before. As a famous "talented man" in the capital, he had to be more elegant.

"Ahem, I am here this time to pay a visit to Princess Jade. Is it possible for me to inform you?"

The butler's two ridiculously pale eyebrows twisted, and his expression was a little strange. He said slightly embarrassed: "The princess and the prince went on a trip the day before yesterday..."

"Going far away?" Li Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "What are you doing going far away at this time?"

The housekeeper shrugged helplessly and said with shame: "The prince didn't mention this, and our servants didn't dare to ask! I heard that I was going to Xinyang County to see Princess Zhirong!"

"Xinyang?" Li Yi thought for a long time before roughly determining a direction in his mind. Although he was not sure how far it was, at least he knew that Xinyang was far away along the Huaihe River, and was far away from Kyoto at the moment - this

It’s really a long journey to visit relatives!

"You didn't say how long you'll be there?" Li Yi shook his head in disappointment and said helplessly.

The housekeeper kindly comforted him: "Fifth Young Master, please just wait and see. The prince and Princess Yu have not seen Princess Zhirong for several years. Don't they want to have a good time together when they go to Xinyang this time?"

After saying that, he chuckled and said, "How about I send someone to the General's Mansion to inform you when the princess comes back?"

This little girl left just as soon as she said she wanted? And she didn’t even bring me a message?

Li Yi felt gloomy and casually agreed with the housekeeper of Prince Bo's Mansion, then turned and returned to the carriage.

The temporary driver, Lao Tu, was lying on the seat in front of the carriage, his two thick legs crossed on the armrest next to him, and his naked feet were wearing cloth shoes. The stench was so unpleasant that it attracted countless flies to buzz around.

"Hey, young master, why are you coming back so soon to have a relationship?" When Lao Tu saw Li Yi coming back dejected, he hurriedly sat up straight.

After saying that, the idiot didn't notice that his young master was in a low mood, so he immediately said with a smile: "Young master, you can really do things with less than three sticks of incense, and you are called a little whirlwind on the bed..."

"Lao Tu, stop talking..." Li Yi shook his head helplessly, lifted the curtain, and got on the carriage. At this moment, he really came in joy and returned disappointed. He didn't even get in. He was so dejected.

gone back……

It's rare that Fifth Brother came over to see my wife today. This girl is so heartless that she just ran away like that?

At this moment, Lao Tu realized that the young master seemed to have been rejected. He turned around and said to someone who was unhappy in the car behind him: "Master, what's the matter? Come on, let's go to Fireworks Alley to have fun?"

Although a certain person is not well-known outside, the maids and servants in the house know that they will never find a master who talks better than their fifth young master. Therefore, these servants naturally become much more casual in front of Li Yi.

.

"Firework Alley..." Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Old Tu, please stop making blind ideas and go back home..."

"Hey, young master, you don't understand this..." Lao Tu chuckled, rubbed his hands and said: "How can this lady like you be as tasteful as the women in Firework Alley? However, with your status, it is indeed necessary to go to Firework Alley.

You've lost your class...Tsk, tsk, I'll take you to a place today, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."

"Where?" Li Yi thought to himself that he was quite discerning. Ordinary women with heavy makeup and dazzling flowers didn't interest him at all.

Lao Tu immediately turned around and said excitedly: "This place is quite famous and the consumption is quite high. It is said that the women there are among the most beautiful. A maid who comes to Fireworks Lane can become an oiran..."

"Really?" Li Yi stared and hesitated.

"That's not true!" Lao Tu rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Let's go and take a look?"

"Well, let's go and have a look!" Li Yi gritted his teeth - I haven't heard of such a high-end brothel, so why don't I just go and have a look?

"Drive--" The carriage turned a corner, Lao Tu's riding whip was raised high and fell quickly, and the exquisite carriage headed south quickly.

Not long after, we arrived at the Yinhua River on the south side of Kyoto.

"Young Master, we're here!" Lao Tu got off his horse, lifted up the car curtains, smiled and pointed at a majestic building on the riverside in front of him, and said excitedly: "That is, the most famous Luohonglou in the entire capital!"

Li Yi got off the carriage and looked in the direction pointed by Lao Tu. He saw a huge pavilion standing on the riverside.

The four-story huge pavilion has a very exquisite and spectacular appearance. The upper two floors have octagonal peaks and the lower two floors have square eaves. It stands jutting out by the river. You can watch the river flow through the ages and see the majestic snow-capped mountains in the northwest. And this is not the astonishing effect of the entire pavilion.

What is even more surprising is that on the side of the building facing the Yinhua River, there are actually supporting wooden beams erected in the river, and a simple wooden bridge is built on the wooden beams.

The wooden bridge connects a two-story building standing in the middle of the river. The outside of the building is even more luxurious. Countless wind chimes hang on the eaves. As the wind blows, they make bursts of sweet sounds, like the moans of a charming woman, which is very exciting.
