The next day.

Aunt Liu from Xiangsi Pavilion helped a half-girl into the door. Her eyes were not very good, she always squinted her eyes slightly, and when she didn't speak, she also had a three-point smile on her face.

He was originally very slim, but in recent years he has gained a fortune, and his face looks like a full moon.

Aunt Liu likes to wear green. Today she is wearing a green and glittering dress with gold and jade hairpins on her head. She looks like the Queen Mother at the Peach Banquet.

Su Haoyi was on the first floor to calculate wages for the kitchen and the miscellaneous people. When he saw Aunt Liu coming, he quickly got up and gave up his seat, and asked him to have tea again.

Aunt Liu sat down and asked the little girl to beat her legs. She gasped and said, "I have gained a few more pounds during the Chinese New Year, and I got panting as soon as I walked."

"I haven't seen you fat, but you are still as slim." Su Haoyi's flattery was more true than the truth, and he could not hear any falsehood.

Aunt Liu pointed at her with a smile and bent over: "You little chewy mouth! You know how to make me happy!" As she said that, she sighed again: "I felt so sad when I saw you. Aunt Cai'er is so lucky. It's not better than your own son, but it saves so much trouble. Who among us mothers is not jealous!"

"My dear aunt, what's the point of jealousy? You have no time to have a child now, so there is no need to pick it up!" Su Haoyi took over the conversation and said.

Everyone laughed.

Su Haoyi asked Aunt Liu again: "Did you come from home?"

"No, I'll come from the street." Aunt Liu picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in one breath.

Su Haoyi knows that Aunt Liu likes shopping, such as silver houses, jewelry shops, and silk shops, she is a regular customer.

So he smiled and said, "It's true that you're going to spend money, no wonder you're tired." He poured Aunt Liu himself a cup of tea.

The thin white fingers were held on the beam of the painted teapot, shining with the luster of mutton fat jade.

"It was only a few days before I heard that Aunt Cai'er was not at home," Aunt Liu said, and she had some difficulty unbuttoning a button under her neck: "I came here today to ask you, how is your business here?"

Before Su Haoyi could speak, a girl named Agui complained: "Okay, you're always asking. We haven't had many customers these days, and the people in the kitchen don't have to cook wine and food, they're all idle."

"Our family's business is not good, and almost no customers come to the door." Aunt Liu said, "Haruo, aren't you in a hurry?"

"You are always well-informed, do you know why?" Su asked back without answering.

"Hmph, why can it be because of the reason? Of course, someone is making a fuss." Aunt Liu sneered: "I don't know which Shinto that Liangxiaoyuan is. I haven't seen any new business that will offend all my colleagues at the beginning!"

"I heard about this place, too," Su said kindly: "I don't know what Aunt Liu thinks."

"I'm asking, the madam came from Dongdu, and most of the girls there were brought from there." Aunt Liu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her nose: "What's this person's name? Dong Qingping, who is only in his twenties, works in Dongdu, and has a nickname called Hei Shaoyao. She has a big business in Dongdu. I don't know which official I have been to Beijing and came to the capital by taking advantage of the situation."

"It sounds not small," Su smiled kindly, "It's also good at ease."

"So!" Aunt Liu curled her lips: "Her methods are too impolite! I don't know what others do, but I don't like them anyway. The girls under her are just dressing less, but what's even more hateful is that she actually robbed people at various intersections. Seeing that there were guests who wanted to go to other families, she coaxed and took the guests to her. Since ancient times, those who run brothels have only allowed to attract customers in front of their own doors, so how could they go to the street to recruit people?!"

"Oh, what's this?!" A Ran spat: "Where is she in front of the sky?! Let her act wildly? It's really a country bumpkin who goes into the city, and he doesn't know the rules!"

"Aunt Liu, do you have any solutions?" Su asked kindly.

"I can't do anything alone. Today I'll discuss with you. Let's join forces, either find the government to make the decision or challenge her together. In short, I can't let her continue like this." Aunt Liu slapped the table angrily, and the ring on her hand hurt herself, and she took in pain.

At this time, everyone was in chaos. Some people said this and some said that, but they all had to settle the score with Liangxiaoyuan.

"Everyone, don't be confused. Even if we challenge her, we can't go so rashly. I don't know the depth of the other party will suffer." Su Haoyi's mind was always clear: "Since Dong Qingping has the courage, it must be some means. We can't delay it, but we still have to know ourselves and our enemy to achieve it."

"If someone goes to explore the truth, of course it's better." Aunt Liu didn't object: "But we are all females, and we have to stop us before we even arrived at the door. Since ancient times, there is no reason for women to visit brothels. Hachiro, it depends on you."

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, I originally planned to go there to see it." Su smiled kindly, "Open your eyes by the way."

"There is another thing I didn't tell you. I asked about it. It seems that except for you, the powerful turtle man in other places has been pried over to her." Aunt Liu said: "You will definitely be recognized when you get there, be careful."

"I'm not afraid to recognize it. Are you not allowed to visit the brothel?" Su said kindly: "If my identity is not enough, just add someone who has enough identity."

Su Haoyi planned to let Yugui go with her, so that even if she was recognized, she could not drive her away.

But before he finished speaking, Ji Xing walked in from outside and asked excitedly: "What are you going to do? I'll go with you!"

"You can't do this. I want to go shopping at the newly opened Liangxiaoyuan at night." Su Haoyi didn't want Jixing to go there. Although Jixing has been spending a lot of time in Chuyao Hall since he was a child, it was different after all. Besides, I'm afraid I'd stay there very late, Jixing has to go home. It's not good to be too late.

"What's wrong, I'm going to go!" Ji Xing jumped three feet high: "I told my family that I would go to his outside study with my cousin for a few days, so I don't have to go back tonight."

"It's done, you guys discuss it, I won't care. I'm very tired now, so I have to go back and take a break." Aunt Liu yawned and said, "Just get the exact letter and tell me."

Su Haoyi quickly agreed and personally sent Aunt Liu to the carriage.

When he walked back, Jixing kept begging her.

Su Haoyi knew Jixing's temperament. If he didn't take him there today, he would have to be anxious.

So he said, "You really took my life. You can go, but you can't make trouble."
