Enlightenment begins with covering the sky

At the same time, in the Daqian Dynasty, in Yujing and in the mansion of Marquis Wu Wen.

Hong Yi had already left the small building where he was staying.

Ever since the heroic spirits of the saints came to Hong Yi's body and became one with his body, Hong Yi felt that he was invincible when studying. He could see through any truth at a glance, directly grasp the essence, and see through the pros and cons. .

And this is not only the essence and pros and cons of theory, but more importantly, the practical content. He felt that if he was a high official of a party, he would definitely be able to benefit the people of that party and put into practice the principles he had learned perfectly.

But at this moment, thinking of the idea of ​​"reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles", and getting the invitation, Hong Yi had left the small building where he was staying and came to the most prosperous place in Yujing City - —Sanhua Building.

The Sanhua Building is the number one brothel in Jade City and a typical gold-selling cave. However, Hong Yi himself didn't have much money. The wealth in his hands was given to her by Princess Luo Yun after he met Princess Luo Yun last time; and the invitation to come to Sanhua House this time was also given by Princess Luo Yun.

"Although the Sanhua Building is a brothel, all the people inside are prostitutes. They only sell their arts, not their bodies. Almost all the women inside are talented women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, lyrics, songs, and poetry. , is an elegant place for romance. The wealthy people in Jade City often spend a lot of money to attract these talented women."

Hong Yi looked at the Sanhua Building and the busy traffic outside the building, feeling amazed in his heart.

This Sanhua Building is a five-story attic, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, and it is all decorated with carved railings. There are many carriages and sedans outside the door, as well as various wealthy slaves. This momentum alone is impressive. It’s enough to put many small wealthy families away.

Hong Yi knew that this Sanhua Building was actually the most elegant place for sexual intercourse, not the soft and gentle kind of flesh and blood business; but precisely because of knowing this, this place was much more profitable than the ordinary flesh and blood business.

Especially those dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, they often hold cocktail parties, poetry gatherings and the like. At this time, you need the companionship of a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting to look elegant and suave.

Therefore, Sanhua Building is the best entertainment place for noble people.

And every grand event probably costs millions of taels of silver. It is not uncommon for some large-scale events to cost tens of millions of taels.

When Hong Yi arrived at the door of Sanhua Building, someone immediately came to greet him. Hong Yi also took out the invitation and threw two taels of silver to these wealthy slaves.

The two slaves narrowed their eyes with laughter, nodded and bowed, and quickly invited Hong Yi inside.

There are countless pavilions and pavilions in Sanhua Tower, which is like a small palace.

The two slaves led Hong Yi around and around, and finally came to a huge flower hall, where many young people had already gathered. Hong Yi immediately saw Princess Luo Yun, who was holding a folding fan and pretending to be a man.

"Hong Yi, this is the young master of the Hou family of the Minister of War, this is the young master of the Wang family of the Minister of Rites, this is the young prince of the Changle Hou family, this is..." Seeing Hong Yi appear, Princess Luo Yun promptly Give him guidance and introductions.

Hong Yi greeted them one by one.

"This is Young Master Hong Yi from Wu Wenhou Mansion. He is proficient in mystical principles and is my good friend." Princess Luo Yun then began to introduce Hong Yi's identity.

Many princes and nobles present initially looked down upon Hong Yi because his clothes did not resemble those of the real princely world. But at this moment, when they heard about Wu Wenhou Mansion, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.

The reputation of Marquis Wu Wen of the Daqian Dynasty was higher than that of some princes. But when these people thought about it carefully, they immediately understood that this person must be a concubine with a low status, so their solemn expressions softened.

"These people looked down upon me at first, but after hearing the reputation of Marquis Wu Wen, their expressions became solemn. Now they know that I am a commoner, but they are a little disdainful... You really need to go out to see the various aspects of life. Really true!" Hong Yi said secretly in his heart.

"I heard that Miss Su Mu from Sanhualou is very good at talking about mysteries. Since Brother Hong has a long history of family education, he must be able to explain a lot of truths. Now that the time has not come and Miss Su Mu has not come out yet, Brother Hong might as well tell you how. ?" A young man in white looked at Hong Yi and said with a smile.

"That's right! Your father is a real scholar, a great master. His books such as "Lishu", "Xi Ming" and "Zhongshu" are all in their own school and are spread all over the world. The son inherited his father's legacy. Brother Hong is the son of Marquis Wu Wen. , Come to think of it, I have a deep understanding." Another young man holding a folding fan also smiled slightly.

"Good guy, I'm afraid these two guys don't want to embarrass me!" Hong Yi understood the thoughts of these two people in an instant.

According to Hong Xuanji's Neo-Confucian thinking, the rule of kings, ministers, fathers and sons, a mere bastard in Hongyi had no chance to learn real knowledge. These people knew that he was a bastard, but they still talked about Neo-Confucianism. They clearly wanted him to make a fool of himself.

Hong Yi was moved in his heart and said: "The so-called son inherits his father's inheritance, but inherits the spirit of hard work and struggle of his elders. If he just inherits his knowledge, how is this different from inheriting gold and silver? How can it be called a son's inheritance? Father's inheritance? Since my father has the heart to call his son a scholar, how can I lag behind him?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Hong Yi simply raised the saying "son inherits father's legacy" to several levels. In his opinion, inheriting his father's property is useless. What he really wants to do is to create a new world like his father?

Now that the time and place are different, even if they want to start a career, where can they find a foothold?

"Brother Hong, don't say these nonsense!" At this time, Princess Luo Yun also hurriedly spoke. Hong Yi's words were so offensive that it almost hit all the second generations.

What's even more frightening is that if Hong Yi really can't come up with two, three or five points, I'm afraid that in the future, Hong Yi will no longer have a foothold in the entire Daqian.

"Master Hong Yi's words are very kind!" At this moment, a voice came. Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful and fragrant woman walking out.

This person is Su Mu, who is known as "the most talented woman in Jade Capital City" and is also the initiator of this gathering.

When she walked out, everyone present held their breath involuntarily and watched her walking slowly.

She walked step by step, as if walking out of a painting. Even Hong Yi felt suffocated by her appearance and temperament.

However, Hong Yi is a person who has integrated the heroic spirits of various disciples after all, and he has returned to his original state in an instant.

There was no longer any sense of surprise in the eyes looking at Su Mu, only a kind of faint appreciation, as if looking at the most beautiful piece of jade in the world.
