Crow Yi Lane.

The clothes are for dancing, and the wine is for singing.

Under the guidance of Yue Lin, Zhou Wenbin left work and worked overtime when he got home at night to start making dresses.

As a skilled tailor, Zhou Wenbin is meticulous in his work and has won the trust of his employers.

However, he only had eight silver coins a month, which was barely enough for the couple to live on.

When Yue Lin's family moved here, Zhou Wenbin expressed great kindness, especially when he heard that he would be given five coins for making a piece of clothing, so he readily agreed decisively.

"Master Yue, are you satisfied with this style?"

After two nights of busy work, Zhou Wenbin finally finished making a dress.

"Not bad! It's exactly as the drawing says! Brother Zhou is really good at his craftsmanship!"

Yue Lin praised her repeatedly. In order to fit the women of the Ming Dynasty, the dress seemed a bit conservative compared to later generations.

However, some changes were still made to the neckline, so that the brothel ladies can show their pride before the moon.

Zhou Wenbin blushed and said, "Master Yue, are you going to sell these clothes to a brothel? I already have a wife, so I definitely can't go!"

After saying that, Zhou Wenbin immediately chose to leave.

Only Han Shuiyun and Uncle Fu were left in the house.

"At this old age, I can no longer do anything I want to do."

Liu Futong smiled slightly and chose to leave the house with his hands behind his back.

Yue Lin's forehead was sweating. It was like a chicken-eating finals, only the two of them were left.

"Master Yue, I am a blind person. It is very inconvenient for me to go to a brothel. I hope you can do more work."

Yue Lin was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, but saw that Han Shuiyun had quietly disappeared.

Yue Lin's desire to open a clothing store was not just a whim. Big Beard and Lao Wang would eventually find something to do.

Zhang Dingbian could still teach little Riley and Zhu Silang how to practice martial arts on weekdays, but Lao Wang would look sad.

After traveling thousands of miles from Fengyang to Yingtian Mansion, it has been almost a month and Yue Lin has not yet sent out half a tael of silver.

"Zhou Wenbin, a manly man, how can he be henpecked?"

Standing in front of the old house of the Zhou family, Mr. Yue spoke with great emotion, trying to impress Tailor Zhou's cold heart.

"Master Yue, a man is just afraid of henpecks! If you are not afraid, why don't you go?"

"I believe that Mrs.-in-law understands justice well and knows that you went to the brothel for the sake of this family. She will definitely not blame you!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the loud voice of Zhou Laifu's wife: "Sir! I am a little girl. I can allow him to have concubines, but I cannot allow him to go to a brothel!"

Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Yue Lin was reluctant to wait for the opportunity to find out the customer's needs, so he could only plan to go to Chunxiang Pavilion in person tomorrow.

"We must avoid Yingrao and don't let her find out!"

——

The next day.

Yue Lin first explained the "New Book of Ji Xiao" to the kings of Qin and Jin, and then took out the medical cases and explained the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to Zhu Xi.

The two books opened the door to a new world for the three princes. After continuous study, they admired Yue Lin even more.

With three princes coming to the Hanlin Academy to support him, all the Hanlin officials chose to turn a blind eye to Yue Lin's "lazy" behavior.

"Be a social animal in the future and enjoy 996 blessings every day. I didn't even think about returning to the Ming Dynasty, but I lived a nine-to-five life."

Yue Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, packed up the library, said hello to Song Lian, and left early.

"This Yue Lin is really a strange person! He obviously spends the least amount of time teaching, but he still satisfies the three princes!"

"Who says it's not the case? He has the support of three princes, and he is much more impressive than Senior Brother Chen!"

"Xuexiong Chen? Bah! He is just our subordinate!"

The Hanlin officials watched Yue Lin leave with envious eyes. They did not know that this colleague was about to go to the Qinhuai River.

It's good to watch the flower boats at dusk, the long embankment is filled with cherry blossoms and the river is full of moonlight.

Along the Qinhuai River, the wind and moon are endless.

Yue Lin's understanding of "brothel" is still limited to later film and television dramas.

In fact, during the Hongwu period, brothels had already played various tricks.

The flower boat on the Qinhuai River is one of them.

It costs two taels of silver, and you can sail to Qinhuai with the Qing Dynasty servants and sing love songs late at night.

If two people are in love, they can do indescribable things.

The breeze on the far shore is singing. Who is playing the three-stringed string under the tent?

The sound of strings sounded in Yue Lin's ears, not as good as that of Han Shuiyun.

"Hey! Mr. Yue, are you here to play with the sisters?"

"I'm reading books from sages, but I don't know if Mr. Yue's foot plate is stable or not!"

"You took the initiative to visit us today, but you want to have a glass of flower wine? It would be a good idea for us to go on a flower boat! The clouds and water are of the same color, and the boat is rocking together!"

Sister Lang's words of tiger and wolf made Yue Lin blush.

"Ahem! Sisters, I have something to ask you today."

"Reject prostitution for free!"

Sister Lang spoke in unison, which made Yue Lin quite embarrassed. Is he the kind of person who prostitutes for free?

"Sisters have misunderstood. I have a new dress here and I want to sell it to my sisters."

When they heard that there were new clothes, the Lang sisters were immediately interested.

After all, in order to please distinguished guests, novel dressing styles are essential.

"Master Yue, why don't we explain it inside?"

"Yes, our sisters will make you a cup of tea."

"I still want to sit on your lap and whisper to you!"

Yue Lin decisively refused. The Qinhuai River was not far from Wuyi Lane, so it would be hard to tell if he was misunderstood.

"Sisters, if this dress today is liked by the distinguished guests, you can give me a tael of silver to buy it."

"If your distinguished guest turns a blind eye, I will give it to you as a gift!"

After saying that, Yue Lin looked disgraced and hurriedly escaped from the chorus of warblers and swallows.

"Ouch! These clothes are really... immoral!"

"Bah! Mr. Yue appears to be serious, but he does such explicit things!"

"But those distinguished guests might like it! Juxiang, why don't I let you try it on today!"

Juxiang was a poor woman, with a strong temperament and a cold face, so it was rare for her to be visited by customers.

"Then...thank you all, sisters..."

——

The mountains reflect the setting sun, the sky connects the water, and the fragrant grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun.

Yue Lin liked the sunset the most when he was sitting behind the Yamen. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Huahua staring at Kazilan with big eyes.

"Dad! Master Niang said that only bad men go to this place!"

The pink little hand did not forget to point to Chunxiang Pavilion.

"Huahua, you can't tell Yingrao about this!"

Yue Lin said earnestly: "Is daddy good to you?"

Huahua nodded decisively, "Of course! Huahua likes daddy the most!"

Yue Lin said with satisfaction: "So to keep daddy's secret, let's hang ourselves on hooks and not change for a hundred years?"

Huahua's little face said: "But the master's wife said that if I conceal it from her and don't retaliate, she will be personally responsible for Huahua's meals from now on!"

Yue Lin coughed twice, "In this way, when I get home, dad will take the initiative to tell Yingrao. You must not talk too much!"

Huahua Chicken nodded as if pecking rice, "Daddy is honest, there is no greater kindness!"

The father and daughter, holding hands with each other, walked towards Wuyi Alley.

"Huahua, daddy wants to save a dowry for you so that you can marry into a good family in the future!"
