After passing through the corridor, the manager led Cao Shu and others to the outside of rows of rooms.

The room is divided into two sides.

On one side is facing the street, while on the other side is facing the inside of Lingyun Pavilion.

"Will it be noisy here on the street at night?" Cao Shu asked the manager.

"The streets are lively, and there are noisy," the manager replied, "But the other side is not too quiet, after all, there is also some movement in Lingyun Pavilion."

There are some performances that attract guests every day in Lingyun Pavilion.

Since there is a performance, there will definitely be a voice.

And the sound may not necessarily be smaller than on the streets.

"So the girls in Lingyun Pavilion can't sleep well at night." Cao Shuo smiled slightly.

"They don't have time to sleep at night," said the manager: "Customers may invite them over at any time."

"So that's it." Cao Shu nodded: "It's not easy to do this job."

"It is not easy for people to do anything in the world." The manager replied: "As long as you live, you will always be a little unsatisfactory. If it weren't for Lingyun Pavilion, many of them would have died many times."

"Although that's the case, they were raised by their mother's biological parents after all." Cao Shu said: "If you can be more tolerant of them, don't be too harsh."

"I have recorded everything the young master told me." The manager agreed.

When he came to the door of a room, the manager knocked on the door.

The sound of footsteps came from the room.

When the door opened, Cao Shu and others saw a beautiful woman appearing in front of them.

Seeing that it was the manager, the woman was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Cao Shu standing beside the manager, she quickly lowered her head and bowed.

"Young Master wants to sit in your room for a while." The manager said, "You go to other rooms..."

"No, just let her stay here to serve tea." Before the manager could finish his words, Cao Shu interrupted him.

"Take good care." The manager ordered the woman: "Get the best tea in Lingyun Pavilion for the young master."

The woman agreed, and the manager accompanied Cao Shu and others into the room.

There was no one else in the room, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

"In the past, guests stayed overnight, were they all here?" Cao Shuo asked the manager.

"Go back to the young master." said the manager: "The guests stayed in the girls' rooms, but this room is Accord and does not entertain guests."

"What's the difference?" Looking at the manager, Cao Shu asked afterwards.

"The girls in Lingyun Pavilion are also divided into three or six grades." The manager said: "The girls in the first grade all have Accords, and they just rest in the room themselves. If there are guests staying, they have to go somewhere else."

"I said why there is a unique fragrance in the boudoir here? It turns out that there are so many more." Cao Shuo said: "If there are guests staying overnight, the smell in the room should be another."

The manager smiled and said nothing.

The woman next to her whispered: "I will serve tea for the young master."

"Prepare one for the two generals around me," Cao Shu ordered.

The woman agreed and exited the room.

When he arrived at the window, Cao Shu said to the manager: "You don't need to accompany you here, you can go and do it first."

"I'll take my leave first." Knowing that Cao Shu didn't want him to stay here, the manager bowed and stepped out.

Standing at the window, Cao Shu looked at the scenery in the streets.

Deng Zhan asked: "Why don't the young master leave the manager behind? He should be more familiar with the streets."

"Looking at things from his perspective is not much different from standing from mine." Cao Shuo said: "A high-ranking person always looks down on the lives of the people. But what I need is to look at this street from the perspective of a civilian."

Neither Deng Zhan nor Zhu Ao understood what he meant.

Zhu Ao asked, “Is there any difference?”

"Of course there are differences." Cao Shu said: "I look down on the common people, but from the perspective of the common people, I can look at the world in a straight way. Although they do not have the long-term view of us, they see things from different angles. When looking at the same thing from different angles, the results they get are naturally different."

"We may think this street is very good." Cao Shuo continued: "But the people who come and go on the street are all ordinary people. What they think is the most important thing about this street."

After he said this, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao suddenly realized.

The two said, "It's better that the young master sees things clearly. We can only see the surface, but not the long-term one."

With a slight smile, Cao Shu didn't say anything again.

After a while, the door opened and the woman walked in with a tray.

She put down the three tea cups she visited on the tray and said to Cao Shu: "Young master sits down, I will leave."

"You don't have to leave." Cao Shuo didn't look back, but still looked at the street outside and asked, "Stay here and talk to me."

Cao Shu asked her to stay and speak, and the woman was immediately flattered.

She lowered her head and responded softly.

"What's your name?" Cao Shu asked the woman still facing out the window.

"Yidi." The woman replied.

"How long have you been to Lingyun Pavilion?" Cao Shu asked again.

"It's been three years since I pinched my head and tail." Yidie replied.

"In three years, you are considered an old man from Lingyun Pavilion."

"I can't be considered an old man here yet." Yidie replied: "There is also my sister who has been here for nearly ten years."

"Nearly ten years?" Cao Shu turned around and looked at Yidie in surprise: "None of those people have left Lingyun Pavilion yet?"

"Some of the sisters were old and were sent out of Lingyun Pavilion to get married in another place, some refused to leave here, and there were a few customers who were willing to take care of them, but they were not sent away." Yidie replied.

"This is not a good place, why are you reluctant to leave?" Cao Shuo was a little puzzled.

"Young Master doesn't know anything." Yidie replied: "Lingyun Pavilion is better than the people's homes. I'm used to living here, so I'm really reluctant to leave. Actually, I also know that in a few years, I will be sent out of Lingyun Pavilion when I'm as old as my sisters."

"This place is not a home after all," Cao Shu said: "When you are old, you will still find a stable home and have a support for a few children."

"What the young master said," Yidie lowered her head and responded.

"Have you ever gone to the market outside at night?" Cao Shu asked Yidie again, looking out the window.

"I've been there." Yidie said: "Every month, there are days when we don't have to go out to take care of our guests. We can walk around the neighborhood. The street market is very lively, and recently a shop for women's things was opened. Many women go shopping for goods day and night."

"Zhuān mài women's things store?" Cao Shu knew what the store she was talking about sold, but he deliberately asked, "What do you think of the things in that store?"

"It's all excellent." Yidie said: "The best thing is..."
