Zongwu: fortune-telling with luck, the beginning is Xiongba's orders

Chapter 112 Li Shishi

Among Bianjing, if you want to say that it is the most lively place at night, Fanlou is the first place among the 72 restaurants in Bianjing.

There are five three-story high-rise buildings in the southeast, northwest, middle, and five floors of Fanlou. There are flying bridges between the fifth floors, and the decorations are extremely spectacular.

In the daytime, nothing can be seen, but at night, Fanlou will start to be lively, full of people's voices, guests coming and going, and the flow of people is endless.

As the largest gold selling cave in Bianjing City, Fanlou is famous only because of one person.

The No.1 prostitute in Song Dynasty, Li Shishi!

Whether it is the rich and powerful in the capital, or merchants and nobles from other places, they have only one purpose in coming to Fanlou for consumption, and that is to witness Li Shishi's peerless appearance and appreciate Li Shishi's singing and dancing.

In the past, Li Shishi would come out at least every night to present a performance for the guests who came here admiringly, which won the applause of the whole house.

But I don't know why, in the recent period of time, Li Shishi seldom performed on stage.

Nearly two months have passed, and Li Shishi has only played three times.

The guests who came and went were very puzzled by this, and they faltered when they asked the old bustard in Fan Lou, and couldn't fart for a long time.

Some wealthy businessmen simply named Li Shishi to perform on stage, spending a lot of money for it, but even so, Li Shishi never appeared on stage.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be rumors in Bianjing.

Some people say that Li Shishi is ill and should not be on stage.

Some people also said that Li Shishi was so complacent that he didn't pay attention to the guests when he became famous, and he didn't want to go on stage again.

However, no matter how the rumors in Bianjing spread, Li Shishi never showed up to explain, and Fan Lou kept his mouth shut, which caused these rumors to spread more and more widely, which made Li Shishi show signs of ruining his reputation!
If Li Shishi really loses his reputation, it will be a great blow to Fan Lou.

But Fan Lou has no choice, because it's not that Li Shishi is unwilling to perform on stage, but because someone treats Li Shishi as a canary in a cage, and they only want to appreciate it alone, and they don't want to share it with others.

And this person, not to mention their Fan Lou, probably not many people in the entire capital can afford to offend him!
There is an exquisite small building on the northwest side of Fanlou.

The fan building outside the small building was full of voices and bustle.

But the fan building inside the small building can hear a quiet needle drop, and the outside seems to be two worlds torn apart.

"Ugh."

In the small building, there was a low sigh, such as resentment, admiration, weeping and complaint.

In front of the dressing table, there was a beautiful figure in a pink skirt sitting. She was exquisitely elegant, with fair and delicate skin. People are photographed by it, ashamed of their appearance, and dare not desecrate.

But there are some people who like to blaspheme such a person, treat it as a plaything, hold it in the palm of their hand, and play with it wantonly.

Perhaps it is a great sense of accomplishment to see others love but not to be able to do whatever one wants.

Li Shishi raised his head and looked at the moon covered by dark clouds in the sky, as if seeing his own life covered up, he couldn't help sighing softly again, and a sad expression appeared on his delicate and small face.

"When will these days end?"

"Miss."

Just as Li Shishi was sighing, a voice suddenly came from downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a cute and pretty figure climbed up to the second floor.

This is Xiaolu, Li Shishi's personal maid. She grew up with Li Shishi since she was a child, and loves her as a sister.

Li Shishi saw the little deer coming upstairs, and asked softly: "Come?"

Xiao Lu shook his head and replied, "It seems that I won't come today."

Li Shishi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Xiaolu's answer.

Xiaolu looked at the sad look on Li Shishi's face, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I know you are in a difficult situation, but that..."

Master Li smiled wryly, and responded, "Of course I know this is something we can't resist."

She is very famous and is sought after by many people, but in the final analysis she is just a prostitute.

If others are happy, she is a famous prostitute; if others are unhappy, then she is nothing.

Xiao Lu hesitated for a moment and said: "Miss, I heard something when I entertained distinguished guests two days ago."

Li Shishi didn't care much and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiaolu replied: "A very powerful fortune-teller came from the capital. It is said that he can change his fate against the sky. Miss, maybe you can too..."

……

Early the next morning.

After Huo Yin finished his overnight practice, he conveniently put away Long Yuan.

He had just woken up to wash up and tidy up everything when there was a call from outside.

"Is Mr. Huo at home?"

Hearing the silver bell-like voice, Huo Yin pushed open the door and walked out of the room, saying loudly, "Please come in."

As Huo Yin's voice fell, the gate of the small courtyard was slowly pushed open from the outside.

Two slim figures with veiled hats and scarves walked into the yard one after the other.

When the woman walking in front saw Huo Yin, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face.

She had always thought that this very powerful fortune teller would be an old man, or at worst a middle-aged man, but she never expected that he would be so young.

"Master Li has met Mr. Huo."

Li Shishi's voice dissipated like mist, like the east wind caressing the orchids, piercing into the ears and sinking into the bottom of the heart, making people feel indescribably useful.

Even the well-informed Huo Yin must admit that this is the most moving voice he has ever heard.

Huo Yin looked at Li Shishi, a famous prostitute who was famous all over the world, and said with a faint smile, "If the girl asks for the hexagram, please show me the money for the hexagram."

Xiaolu, who was following Li Shishi, took a step forward and presented a ten-thousand tael silver ticket.

At the same time, Li Shishi said: "I want to know, how can I get out of the predicament in front of me?"

She really had had enough of being kept in captivity.

Even if the person who kept her in captivity was the emperor of this dynasty, the most distinguished person, she would not want to continue living this kind of life anymore.

When Huo Yin heard Li Shishi's words, she smiled slightly and said, "Young lady, do you really not know how to get out of the predicament in front of you?"

Master Li frowned slightly, and said: "Please tell me clearly, sir."

Huo Yin walked slowly to the stone table and sat down, made a pot of tea, and then said: "Why is the girl in trouble? Because of her beauty? But there are 3000 beauties in the harem, and there are not a few of them who are as beautiful as the girls. "

"Because singing and dancing are both excellent? But in Bianjing, there are more than a thousand people who are good at singing and dancing."

When Li Shishi heard Huo Yin's words, the expression on his face suddenly became a little subtle.

She asked Huo Yin: "Why does Mr. Huo think I'm in trouble?"

Huo Yin glanced at Li Shishi and replied, "In the final analysis, the most attractive thing about you is just your identity."

The No. 1 prostitute in the capital, and even the No. 1 prostitute in the Song Dynasty, was sought after by thousands of people and pursued by thousands of people. All these have created Li Shishi today, and also endowed Li Shishi with a unique and attractive aura.

This predicament also appeared because of this halo.

If Li Shishi is not the Li Shishi in Fan Lou, but the Li Shishi who lives in the streets, what if he meets Song Huizong?

That's just a pretty girl. Of course, she will have some attraction to Song Huizong, and she may get Song Huizong's blessing, but she will never let Song Huizong have the idea of ​​keeping it for himself.

So Li Shishi is not unable to get out of the predicament in front of her, but she is reluctant to part with the glory and aura of this body.

If you want to continue to be sought after by thousands of people, but don't want to be a caged object of the powerful, there is no such good thing in the world.

Li Shishi smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "With my appearance, even if I give up this identity, can I live my life safely?"

Huo Yin smiled and replied, "That's another predicament, not the present predicament."

Li Shishi was silent for a long time, and then said a little sadly: "Could it be that I can't be free in my life?"

Although Huo Yin couldn't see Li Shishi's face, he could hear Li Shishi's helplessness and helplessness from his voice.

He sighed softly, and said: "If you want to be free, there are only two ways to go, either to control the supreme power, or to have incomparable strength. It's a pity that you don't have either of these two."

Master Li was silent again.

Huo Yin looked at Li Shishi who seemed more and more helpless and pitiful in silence, and said: "Maybe you can't control the supreme power, you can't have the strength of powerful force, but you may not get it all through other means."

When Li Shishi heard Huo Yin's words, her face showed hope again, and she said to Huo Yin urgently: "Please teach me, sir."

Huo Yin raised his hand and knocked on the stone table, saying, "This is the second hexagram."

Li Shishi understood, and said: "In the afternoon, I will ask Xiao Lu to send another 10 taels of gold."

As the No.1 prostitute in the Song Dynasty, Li Shishi has harvested countless gold and silver, and she can still afford 10 taels of gold.

Huo Yin nodded slightly, pointed in the direction of Fan Lou, and said, "Go back, your chance is on the way."

Li Shishi subconsciously turned her head and glanced in the direction of Fan Lou when she heard the words. Although she didn't quite understand what the opportunity was, she now chose to believe Huo Yin's words and go back to Fan Lou.

Li Shishi and Xiao Lu bid farewell to Huo Yin, then left the small courtyard and walked towards Fan Lou.

Xiaolu followed Li Shishi and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you think what he said is credible?"

Although Xiaolu has heard a lot about Huo Yin recently, he still has some doubts in his heart.

Li Shishi said softly: "He knows better than you."

Entertainment places like Fanlou are mixed with fish and dragons, and the news is also the most well-informed.

She had already inquired about Huo Yin before coming here, and she knew that Huo Yin was not a simple fortune teller.

While Li Shishi was talking with Xiaolu, a vegetable farmer with a pole on his shoulders suddenly appeared in front of them, and asked with a smile, "Madam, would you like to buy some fresh vegetables?"

Li Shishi was about to shake his head and refuse, when the vegetable farmer said: "The basket on the left is power, and the basket on the right is strength. Which one do you want? Or do you want both?"

　Thanks for the 100 point reward for raising a little fat pig at home!
