What Good Is Having Money? (Part Five)
The two sat on the ground and chatted for a while with great emotion.
It turned out that the person Tian Shu liked was called Hua WuJie. He was the Deity of Medicine’s disciple and always dressed in women’s clothing, and the people in Immortals Valley referred to him as eldest senior disciple sister.
Who knew that he would actually be a man. It was just that he liked dressing as a woman. Xun Chi also knew about this but did not care about it.
“You don’t like men dressed as women, and I don’t like them either. I think it’s perverse. But after master found out about it, he was very casual about it. He said that a common person’s life only lasts for a few decades. They should just do whatever they like and wear what they like. What your senior disciple sister wears, how is that any of your damn business”?
Gu HanMo: “…”
That did indeed sound like something Xun Chi would say.
“Since you already know that he’s a man, why don’t you just stop liking him?”
Once these words came from Gu HanMo, he saw Tian Shu’s cold face distorted like a block of ice cracking from a fire.
He gnashed his teeth and faintly smiled through the anger, “If I could stop liking him as easily as you said it, it would not be love!”
Heavens knew just how much he wanted to no longer like a man.
Gu HanMo fell silent.
He had always been uncomfortable with these sorts of things. Hearing Tian Shu’s experiences, he sympathized with him greatly.
Unfortunately, he did not understand what this sort of love meant.
In his everyday life, he was either training or training. All of the matters in the military and at the manor were taken care of by father, eldest brother, and second brother. There was no need for him to worry about such things.
There was not even a need for him to look after his younger brothers and sister. His life was simple and pure.
Aside from familial love, he still did not understand any other kinds of affection.
Tian Shu saw his blank expression and silently cursed: “There’s actually someone with a colder face than me. How unromantic.”
After saying this, he lifted his sword, “Come, let’s continue!”
“Third young sir!”
Gu HanMo picked up his sword and suddenly saw the servant from his courtyard enter the martial arts training area. He looked like he was in a rush.
Tian Shu also unhappily looked over at the servant, hating that he had disrupted his enthusiasm.
The servant saw the ice-cold expression that was on par with the third young sir’s and lowered his head in fear, “Third young sir, this servant has some important news to report!”
“Speak.”
The servant looked at Tian Shu with hesitation. It would not be good if outsiders heard about the family’s bad news.
Gu HanMo furrowed his brow, “Yu Fu’s senior disciple brother is part of the marquis manor. If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Yes, third young sir. You sent me to keep an eye on the fourth young sir in case he sought out that actor, Yu Guan. Just now, the fourth young sir left the manor. Sure enough, he set out on horse for where that actor lives outside the city!”
“What?!”
Gu HanMo’s expression turned incredibly ugly.
Gu WenQing had always been prudent and kind. Many people said that he had Gu ShuBai’s bearing and that he would definitely become more talented as he grew older.
Who knew that he would mingle with that lowly actor time and time again. He truly did not have any sense of propriety!
Gu HanMo’s expression changed, as he lifted his sword and moved to follow the servant out.
Tian Shu faintly said: “Master and Yu Fu have both gone into the palace to enjoy the banquet, and there’s nothing for me to do in the manor. How about I go with you.”
Gu HanMo did not care about such things. He simply nodded and walked out.
The two set out on horse and headed out of the city. Not long later, they saw a collective of buildings at the foot of the mountain. In front of the buildings, there were red paper lanterns hanging.
Outside of the city, there were mostly farmer families, and they were reluctant to light candles at night, so how could they be willing to light the lanterns outside?
Gu HanMo looked over at Tian Shu and said: “Do you see that? The buildings with lanterns are all brothels. At night, they light the lanterns to let their customers know where they are. That Yu Guan lives in there.”
Tian Shu very rarely left the isolated valley. Hearing what was said, he just quietly nodded.
“Based on what you said, this actor called Yu Guan is the headlining performer of the troupe and a proper worker. Why are you so unwilling to allow the fourth young sir to interact with him?”
“You might not know, but acting is not a proper profession in Eastern Ling. It’s not much different from being a prostitute. Moreover, fourth brother is his benefactor. If he is thankful for fourth brother, he should take the initiative to cut off ties with fourth brother. What reason does he have for enticing fourth brother to come and visit him?”
Tian Shu did not say anything else. The two rode over, and women came out from the buildings to receive them.
Seeing that the two did not look like common folk and looked like they had come from wealthy families, the women tried to get close and start a conversation.
The second young sir was indeed handsome, and he looked quite wealthy, but his eyes were too frightening.
He was like a chunk of ice. Just one look would make them shudder.
“Which one is Yu Guan’s house?”
It turned out they had come looking to have fun with a man. It was no wonder he was so cold toward these beautiful women.
A middle-aged woman in garish clothes and heavy makeup summoned some courage to step forward, waving the green handkerchief in her hand, “There, in the back. It’s the one nearest the foot of the mountain!”
Gu HanMo tossed a tael of silver to her then headed in that direction.
The woman caught the silver, and her eyes lit up. Who knew that just a few words would earn her such a plentiful payment.
“Ah! This is even more than I would earn from receiving clients all day! Those two young sirs really are wealthy.”
“So what if they have money? They came looking for men. Let’s go!”
…
A faint sound came from the building near the foot of the mountain. Someone was performing a play.
There was even the sound of an instrument being played. Compared to the loud performance on a stage, this was much more tasteful.
It was just that the voice of the one performing sounded a little familiar.
Gu HanMo furrowed his brow, no daring to believe his own theory.
Tian Shu tugged on his sleeve and pointed up. Gu HanMo immediately understood, and the two soared up onto the roof.
Lifting a roof tile, they immediately understood the situation inside.
