Beauty has no gender distinction. Adi who wears men's clothing will also attract the covetation of those who like masculine style. The difference in class has made them, those at the bottom of the food chain, can only become the playthings of those at the top of the food chain.

There is no resistance.

Li Qingyou was irritated in her heart. If her brother's appearance was ordinary, he could live a plain but stable life, but she couldn't ruin his appearance just for this, right?

That is no different from destroying my brother.

Then there is only one other way left. She must become stronger in order to be able to rely on her brother.

It is impossible to pursue an official career. Leaving aside the issue of gender, Li Qingyou cannot handle those things like the Five Classics, Four Books and Eight-legged Essays. All she can do is engage in business.

Scholars, farmers, and merchants are at the bottom and are looked down upon by the world. But when wealth accumulates to an astonishing amount, one can get rid of their shackles and become a master.

After all, who doesn’t need money?

From the common people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, to court officials buying and selling positions, opening up all kinds of joints, generals marching and fighting, and even raising troops to rebel, etc., in short, nothing can be done without money.

Li Qingyou's belief was stronger than ever before, and the thoughts of eating and waiting to die even when she was full were thrown out of her mind.

The West Street where the siblings live is not far from South Street. Although the guy said it's a bit complicated, it's just a few more turns.

Almost half an hour later, the siblings had returned to the inn.

After asking the waiter to bring hot water, Li Qingyou asked his brother to freshen up before turning around and walking out.

"Sister, where are you going? It's dark outside." Adi chased after her and pulled Li Qingyou's sleeves to prevent her from leaving.

They just met the bad guys.

"Sister, something is wrong. Please stay in the inn for now. Sister will be back soon." Li Qingyou patted his head, "Be good and don't leave this room, let alone run around. Do you hear me?"

My brother doesn't want to do it, "My brother will go with my sister."

Li Qingyou naturally wouldn't take him there, otherwise there would be no need to come back just now. Seeing Adi's insistence, Li Qingyou's face darkened, "Adi, be obedient, otherwise sister will be angry."

Li Qingyou usually spoiled her brother very much, but when her face dropped, it meant that there was no need to discuss the matter.

Adi lowered his head and said quietly, "Sister, come back quickly, Adi is scared."

There are many bad people in Fucheng, and he is worried about Sister Qingyou going out alone, but she won't let him follow her.

Li Qingyou comforted his brother, turned around and left the inn, heading straight for the fireworks place.

She had thought of this when she passed by there just now. Her picture album was non-mainstream, so she didn't have to stick to the daily model and had to sell it in the study. On the contrary, she felt that the sales would be better in such places.

After all, the atmosphere in this place is civilized. Compared with those men who only dare to peek at it when no one is around, maybe it can be circulated here.

I returned to the original place according to the route I remembered, and from a distance I saw row upon row of gorgeously decorated houses. Under the cover of night, there was silence elsewhere, except for the singing and laughter here, the lingering sound of orchestral strings and bamboos, and the lingering charm.

Li Qingyou didn't rush to find the target first. She just walked around in front of each archway one by one. In front of each house, there were scantily clad women waving for customers. Li Qingyou didn't pay attention and was teased by two brave ones.

"Hey, this little brother is so handsome. How about you come to my house and have a glass of wine with me?" A woman waved her sleeves and brought out a strong smell of fragrant powder, which made Li Qingyou sneeze.

Another woman next to her giggled, pushed the previous woman away, and leaned towards Li Qingyou as if she had no bones. "My little brother is still a boy. Don't ruin his innocence. Little brother, come in, sister.

You eat melon seeds."

Li Qingyou was besieged by several kiln sisters who were too old, not pretty, and had no time to entertain guests. Li Qingyou ran away, leaving only a string of teasing laughter behind her.

After straightening the hat that was tilted on top of her head and straightening the clothes that were almost taken off, Li Qingyou let out a breath of turbid air. It was really scary.

Fortunately, she didn't encounter this kind of situation again when she passed by several doors. Some people thought she was a servant from a wealthy family and came to question her. Most of them saw that there was no carriage or sedan behind Li Qingyou.

Automatically ignored her.

After going around, Li Qingyou had a general understanding of this place. Among them, three of them had the best business, namely Yihongyuan, Wanchun Building and Baihuafang. Not only were they luxuriously decorated, but the quality of the girls at the door was also higher.

These three should be first-rate Goulan Courtyards, and there are still some second-rate and third-rate ones.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the first-class door, and there were dignitaries coming and going.

The second-rate ones are just a little worse, and occasionally a few people who are dragged in are all neatly dressed.

The third-rate ones are much worse. They are mostly rickshaw pullers, and some of them are even wearing patches.

On the same street, there were all kinds of people, which made Li Qingyou dazzled.

The three first-class houses were not easy to get around. Not only were the girls soliciting customers at the main door, but there were also old madams and turtle masters. Moreover, when Li Qingyou passed by the door just now, those girls didn't even raise their eyelids.

The reason is very simple. Compared with the silk clothes worn by the servants of dignitaries, Li Qingyou's fine cloth clothes look too shabby.

If the slave is dressed like this, how can the master be rich?

Li Qingyou didn't move forward. He went straight to the second-rate hook and accidentally bumped into the old ladies who had teased him before.

Although he is said to be old, he is actually only 25 or 26 years old. He should be in his prime, but compared with other people who are fifteen or sixteen, he looks much older.

And probably because the "business" is not good, the clothes these few wear are not as bright as those of the girls at the door of the three houses. In addition, the plaques and lanterns behind them are not as bright as others, which makes them look even more old-fashioned.

"Hey, little brother, after going around for a while, I still think sister is the best, right?"

"Shameless old hoof, someone's mother is almost too old to call her sister. Come on, come to my house. I'll show you some good things."

Hidden under the surface of laughter and scolding, there is the desolation of aging and having no place to go. Li Qingyou also felt sad for them.

"Sisters, please spare me." Li Qingyou begged for mercy again and again, but still could not stop the enthusiasm of the "sisters". The clothes and hats they had just tidied were once again messed up.

"Stop." Li Qingyou couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "My young master has something to say."

Several old kiln ladies stopped one after another and looked at Li Qingyou with bright eyes. They were just using this boy to pass the time because they were extremely bored. Naturally, they didn't have any thoughts about him.
