After receiving the silver, Exemplary Lee wanted to go out and explore. Ever since she entered the Cuiyu Tower, she had been learning the four arts from Li Yun for the past six to seven years. She had never had much money on her, so she had never gone out of the Cuiyu Tower. Today, she had her first income, so she wanted to go out and explore the outside world.
She came to the "Daixiang Room" and found Daiyu 'er. Daiyu' er was also preparing to go out for a walk and was worried about not having a companion.
It turned out that although Daiyu had learned the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and the ways of serving others with her, she was two or three years older than her. She had also learned these lessons earlier than her. Therefore, she had debuted more than a year earlier than her. When the girls of Cuiyu Tower went out to the market, they had to report their itinerary to Li Yun. They usually went out in groups. Although it was peaceful and prosperous, and they were in Bianliang, Tokyo, under the feet of the emperor, they were still girls. It was necessary for them to take care of each other when they went out. Therefore, they usually went out in groups.
Li Shishi told Daiyu 'er her purpose of visit and asked her to take her out for a walk. Daiyu' er was very happy and led Li Shishi out of the " Daixiang Room ". She came over to tell Li Yun that they wanted to go out for a walk and explained the itinerary they were going to take. Li Yun agreed.
The girls of "Cuixiang Building" usually saw off their guests at 7 am before going out. However, the guests would come to "Cuixiang Building" one after another at 7 pm. During this period, they could go shopping and play outside. Sometimes, if the guests who came early didn't do it with the girls, they would leave after listening to some songs and playing a game of chess. If there was another guest in the evening, one girl could receive two guests a day. If the guest wanted to stay overnight, they would have to go to the hotel. In that case, a girl could only receive one guest a day.
Dai Yuer led Li Shishi to stroll around the bustling city of Bianliang. They mainly visited cosmetic powder stores, clothing stores, and jewelry stores, all of which made them more beautiful. Although Cuixiang Building also provided basic cosmetic powder, clothes, and jewelry, if they wanted to make themselves more beautiful and attract the attention of customers, they had to rely on the things sold in these stores.
Li Shishi only had twelve taels of silver that she had gotten from Li Yun today. After all, it was only a day's income. They had shopped for four hours and returned to the Cuixiang Building at about the end of the day. Dai Yu 'er had bought some cosmetics, clothes, and accessories, which had cost her more than a hundred taels of silver. On the other hand, Li Shishi could only buy some basic supplies.
After strolling for four hours, their legs were almost tired. They returned to their respective rooms to rest for a while. When the time came, they would go to the chairs on the first floor of the "Jade Fragrance Building" to wait for the arrival of guests.
After a while, it was time to go. Master Li looked at the bronze mirror and dressed up a little. Then she went downstairs and sat down on a chair on the first floor of the Cuixiang Building.
Before long, the familiar figure came in again. It was Qin Guan from yesterday.
Qin Guan called her name and took her hand to enter the room.
"Let's play Go first today. Yesterday, I deliberately let you win one round. Otherwise, I would have won all three rounds. How about today, I'll let you win nine pieces and we'll play two rounds.”Qin Guan said to her.
Shishi Li had already made tea. When she heard that Qin Guan wanted to play chess, she took out two Go boxes.
The way of Go was easy to learn but difficult to master. Master Li had only learned the basics from Li Yun. He knew some of the terms of Go, how to count the stones, and some simple knowledge of life and death. He did not delve into it. He could only use it as an excuse to accompany the guests to pass the time.
Qin Guan and Li Shishi were playing Go to kill time. It was 11:00 and the sky wouldn't turn dark until 10:00. After all, they were in brothels for nightlife.
After one and a half games, Shishi Li lost about 10 stones in the first game. In the middle of the second game, Qin Guan suddenly needed to relieve himself.
Qin Guan knew all the rooms of the girls in Cuixiang Building. He walked straight to the inner room of Shishi Li's Shuxiang Room.
There was a latrine pit in the inner room and a large bathtub beside it. The inner room was where the girls went to the toilet to bathe.
Qin Guan suddenly wanted to take a shower.
Therefore, he asked for a bath when he returned to his seat.
"It's troublesome to boil water for a bath," said Li Shishi."You need to add another five taels of silver.”
"Alright, I'll give you another five taels of silver. Let's boil water and take a bath.”Qin Guan was very excited to hear that.
They packed up the Go pieces together. Then she went to the stove and started to add water to the pot. She lit the stove and boiled water for Qin Guan to take a bath.
After a while, the water was hot enough for a bath. Teacher Li took two wooden buckets and began to scoop water. She carried the water to the big bathtub in the inner room and poured the water into the bathtub. As she was not strong enough, she could only carry one bucket with both hands at a time. Every time, she had to rest.
Qin Guan came over to help scoop water. He must be strong. He filled two buckets at a time, one in each hand. Without resting, he poured the water into the bathtub.
Shishi Li boiled two pots of water. Qin Guan helped her scoop the last bucket. The bathtub was full. She could start bathing.
It was late spring and early summer, and the weather had already become warmer. If it was winter, the water would have to be heated even hotter, and it was so cold in winter.
He walked to the large bathtub in the inner room.
The sky gradually darkened, and he took a bath for almost two hours.
Qin Guan took her hand and started to kiss her again.
Ms. Li had already taken a pill yesterday. The effect lasted for 24 hours, which was three days, so she didn't need to take it today.
After yesterday's incident, Li Shishi was no longer so shy.
Qin Guan was out of breath.
"Teacher Li, do you want to cultivate?”Qin Guan asked her.
"What is cultivation?" Evidently, Exemplary Lee had never heard of cultivation before.
?" It's about becoming an immortal." Qin Guan turned to the side." There are eight stages in total. You can become an immortal after you have completed all of them."”
"Of course I want to be an immortal. I dream of becoming an immortal.”Li Shishi asked curiously.
Qin Guan let go of her and sat up."Cultivation is divided into eight stages: Qi Refinement Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Soul Formation Stage, Body Integration Stage, Great Vehicle Stage, and Tribulation Passing Stage. The first stage is Qi Refinement Stage, but if you cultivate, you can't do that within twelve hours, or you might suffer from Qi Deviation and become a cripple. For example, we just passed that stage. We can't cultivate now, but after twelve hours, we can cultivate tomorrow. You must not do that tomorrow night, remember.”
"Oh, if that's the case, then come and teach me cultivation tomorrow!”Evidently, Teacher Li wanted to become an immortal. This was the dream of every mortal.
"Hmm, alright. I'll teach you how to start cultivating from the Refinement Stage tomorrow! The effect of cultivation was even better if it was combined with medicinal pills. These pills could be bought in East Taiyi Palace and were divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and high. It was enough to buy primary pills at the beginning of cultivation. Moreover, taking pills was the same as cultivation, and one could not do it for twelve hours.”Qin Guan told her in detail.
