At this moment, people are coming and going on the street, and the sounds of vendors are coming and going.
The children gradually put on new clothes and ran around in the streets, and laughter echoed in the streets.
When Liang Du saw this lively scene, he couldn't help but feel more and more comfortable. The flavor of the new year was really getting stronger.
People who usually spend a lot of time shopping are rarely generous at this time of the year, and start spending a lot of money to buy new year's goods.
In Blue Star China, where Liang Du lived in his previous life, starting from the millennium, due to modernization, it has been difficult to see this kind of New Year atmosphere.
This made Liang Du like the current world even more. The more human touch, the more joy in life.
As for Fang Xiu, he finally took a rare vacation these days. After all, it was the Chinese New Year, and he couldn't be locked up by the old magic stick to practice all the time.
Although the old magic stick always said that he was too low in cultivation, Fang Xiu was his only disciple after all.
So, how could the old magician not let him have a good New Year when the new year comes?
Especially back then, when Fang Xiu was still young, the old magic stick had no choice but to leave cruelly to avoid heaven's punishment.
Although Cao Rong took care of him, Fang Xiu was still too young after all, so the old magician may not have the intention to compensate him.
After all, Fang Xiu’s past time cannot come back again.
Therefore, it is finally possible to have a good New Year now, and the old magician cannot let this little thing affect his mood during the New Year.
As for Du Zhishan, he had indeed approached Liang Du several times in the past few days, but Liang Du cleverly avoided them all.
There is no way, this guy Lao Du has been exploiting him for two days, and he still wants to let him refine the blessing and fortune incense day and night. How is this possible?
Furthermore, Liang Du also felt that the number was almost enough. How could he continue to be bored in the Chenghuang Temple during such a busy time of the New Year?
So since he didn't want Du Zhishan to find him, how could Du Zhishan find him?
Even though there is a He Mei Spirit in the City God's Temple who can monitor the entire Yongning Mansion, the He Mei Spirit wants Liang Du to stay as far away from him as possible, so how can he dare to expose Liang Du's whereabouts?
Today, Liang Du continued to maintain his happy mood. He waited until he was done shopping in the city before returning home.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he felt helpless. Sure enough, it was difficult for him to live peacefully now.
Because at this moment, Cao Rong and Gu Shu were standing in front of his door, they must have been there for a long time.
At this time, the surrounding neighbors also cautiously poked their heads out and carefully watched what was going on here.
Cao Rong, the leader of the Cao Gang.
Gu Shu, the county government official.
The two of them came to Wuyi Alley hand in hand, and immediately, the news exploded throughout the alley.
However, the Caobang people stood guard around the area, and the county government officials were patrolling the area, so no one dared to come over and watch the fun.
But these neighbors are all curious. Who are these two people coming to visit in person?
Coupled with the fact that there was almost a mountain of gift boxes on the ground, it showed that the person they wanted to visit was something special and not just a formality.
They couldn't help but wonder which big boss lived in Wuyi Lane, and why didn't they notice it?
Otherwise, if I get into the relationship with a big boss, what do I have to fear in a place like Yongcheng?
The more they thought about it, the more they regretted it, but it was not too late to make amends. As long as they behaved better in the future, they might be able to mend their relationship.
Then, Liang Du went straight forward and appeared in the alley. Cao Rong saw Liang Du at the first sight. He quickly said hello to Liang Du together with Gu Shu.
In fact, Cao Rong was also a little embarrassed at this time, because Liang Du's current status outside the country was still that of a member of the Cao Gang, which made him feel a little at a loss.
However, Liang Du has not said anything about his arrangements in this regard until now, so Cao Rong does not dare to make any decisions.
Fortunately, Gu Shu, as a scholar, knew that Liang Du's current strength was far beyond his control, but he remained calm.
"Mr. Liang, long time no see. Today, on behalf of the county government, I will give you some New Year's goods."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few clever government officials had already presented the gift boxes to him.
Liang Du nodded without any pretense, he just opened the door and asked the government officials to send the gift boxes in, and then invited Gu Shu and Cao Rong to come in.
Just after Gu Shu and the others entered the door, the entire Wuyi Alley was completely in a state of excitement.
Isn't this guy an ordinary member of the Cao Gang?
How could he have such a great reputation?
And looking at the look in Cao Rong's eyes just now, it was clear that he was somewhat trying to please him. What exactly is going on?
As a result, Liang Du's image suddenly became a bit mysterious in their eyes. Is there any hidden secret in this?
However, no matter what these neighbors were thinking, Liang Du had already invited Gu Shu and Cao Rong to sit down in the courtyard.
"Gang leader, Mr. Gu, I wonder if you have anything else to do when you come here today?"
Cao Rong and Gu Shu quickly shook their heads at this time. They really had nothing to do.
It's just that Liang Du has been back for a few days, and they now know exactly what Liang Du did for Yongcheng.
So now that the Chinese New Year is coming, they know that no matter what, they have to come over to thank Liang Du for his contribution on behalf of Yongcheng.
As for Cao Rong himself, he was actually a little uneasy because the next step was related to how he should treat Liang Du.
"Mr. Liang..."
As soon as Cao Rong opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Liang Du.
"Gang leader, you should call me Liang Du. After all, I am still a member of the Cao Gang."
Hearing this, Cao Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly. You, the boss, are really a sweetheart. However, Cao Rong is not a shy person. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and spoke directly.
"Okay, Liang Du, now that I've mentioned this, let me tell you straight away. Your current position in my Caogang is really inappropriate. How about quitting the Caogang?"
Liang Du looked at Cao Rong and found that his eyes became clear for a while, and Liang Du immediately understood what he meant.
"Okay, but if anything happens to Caobang in the future, you can come to me at any time. After all, Caobang is also my home."
"Of course, with your help, I, Cao Rong, won't be so pedantic and won't come to you without asking."
After the business talk was over, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more harmonious in an instant. Not long after, Gu Shu and Cao Rong said goodbye and left.
When Liang Du closed the door, he saw the neighbors who were still leaning on the wall watching what was going on in their yard. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Sure enough, being curious and looking for fun is a common characteristic of human beings.
Today's situation is actually just a normal thing, and Liang Du thinks it's nothing.
But in the next few days, Liang Du realized that he was still thinking too simply. He felt that no matter where he went from now on, he seemed to have acquaintances.
The neighbors faced Liang Du with enthusiastic smiles many times more than before.
This is not because of the snobbery of the neighbors in Wuyi Lane in Yongcheng, but because of human nature.
Liang Du also took a very open view of this and smiled in response to their enthusiasm for him.
So much so that when Fang Xiu came over to help Liang Du buy new year's goods, he felt a little strange.
Since when did Liang Du have such a good relationship with his neighbors?
Are all good-looking people so popular?
But I'm not bad looking either. Why hasn't anyone been so enthusiastic towards me before?
At this time, Liang Du was still joking about how he had time to help him buy new year's goods.
Fang Xiu sat down and took a sip of tea. Then he felt relaxed, even a little hearty.
Because Lao Shengun and Lao Long left Yongcheng, he was temporarily free.
"Why are your master and the others not in Yongcheng?"
"Brother Liang, how can they stay in Yongcheng? I heard two days ago that there is an old wine shop in Guicheng and the wine there is very good.
So they set out overnight, and it's been two days and they haven't come back yet."
Speaking of this, Fang Xiu felt extremely relaxed. Without these two, he was completely free.
Now, he still hopes that the two old masters can wander outside as much as they want before the Chinese New Year. It is best to come back later, so that his little life can be more relaxed.
At this time, Fang Xiu suddenly leaned over and whispered to Liang Du:
"Brother Fang, should we go and see this year's Yichun House oiran tonight? I heard that it is very different from the previous oiran."
When Liang Du heard this, he almost rolled his eyes.
This kid had fooled him last time, how could he be fooled again this time?
Liang Du was serious in his heart, but he said: "Okay, you can make arrangements for that night."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Xiu instantly smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, Brother Liang, just wait, I will arrange everything."
At this time, Liang Du thought to himself that he just didn't want to dampen the young man's enthusiasm, so he agreed.
Otherwise, how could a serious person like me go to a place like a brothel? I’m overthinking it!
Furthermore, even if I went to a brothel, it would be just to listen to music, not that much twists and turns.
Soon, night began to fall, and a carriage came outside Liang Dumen, and the driver was very good at driving.
Fang Xiu was sitting in the carriage, smiling very happily.
Today I want to regain my face and let Liang Du know that I am also a regular customer of Fengyue Chang and the previous time was just an accident.
As the carriage carried Fang Xiu and Liang Du slowly towards Yichun Tower, the blood moon was already hanging on the branches.
Actually, Liang Du didn't have much expectations for tonight, after all, he had watched too many celebrities in his previous life.
The men here may feel extremely tempted by the brothel girls, but to Liang Du, it really doesn't matter.
If they had watched the live broadcast of Liang Du's previous life, they would know that the dance performed by the brothel girl was really just average.
The madam of Yichun House had not changed yet, but when Liang Du and Fang got off the carriage, her eyes lit up.
Although these two handsome young men had only come once before, how could she forget them?
These two people are generous and handsome, but they are the perfect sheep in her heart.
So, she immediately moved forward with a flattering smile on her face.
"Two young gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you been on a study tour recently? Tonight is the first time that our girl Qingqing has left the court. I think you two young gentlemen will not be disappointed."
Fang Xiu pretended to be proficient at this time. He took out a paper fan from nowhere and opened it casually, in a natural and unrestrained way.
"Yeah?"
When Liang Du saw this, he secretly made a mental note of this kid, Xiao Benben, who actually acted coquettishly in front of him.
It seems that after the Chinese New Year, I have to tell the old magician that there is already a young man in the Netherworld who has reached the level of a traveler in the underworld.
Fang Xiu didn't know what Liang Du was thinking. Under the guidance of the madam, he went to the second floor excitedly.
Liang Du didn't do anything deliberately. He followed the boss with a normal attitude and just listened to the music tonight.
Inside the Yichun Building, the atmosphere was very lively.
It seems that as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the wallets of these men are also bulging, and there seem to be more people than before.
At this moment, as soon as Liang Du and Liang Du sat down, there was a sound of guzheng, and then the entire Yichun Building fell silent.
Because a graceful figure, with a veil on her face, danced lightly on the stage, like a fairy descending to earth.
Some guests were still pouring wine at this time, and they spilled it without even realizing it. They only had one thought in their minds, what a courtesan.
But at this time, Liang Du's eyes narrowed. Fang Xiu was still very proud. This time the oiran was really beautiful.
Liang Du couldn't help but shake his head. This boy seemed to have to be beaten up in the future, because in Liang Du's eyes, this oiran was not a human being at all.
It seems that after the fusion of secret lands, the world becomes more and more interesting.
