The boy was originally closing his eyes and resting his mind. The moment he felt movement on his shoulders, the nerves that he had finally relaxed for a moment tightened again.

Lou Rongrong rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced around, only to realize that she had fallen asleep in the carriage and had a pillow on someone else's shoulder, so she got up quickly to apologize.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw that the boy also had his eyes closed, his breathing was steady and long, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lou Rongrong hesitated for a moment, lifted the curtain of the car window and took a look outside. Seeing that it was still early in the morning, it shouldn't be long before she felt relieved, and gently poked the young man's shoulder with her hand, calling out in a low voice:

"Dumb...Jiang Yu? Caiyun Tower is here, so I'll leave first?"

As if hearing Lou Rongrong's voice, the young man's thick long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. The next moment, those dark blue eyes opened, looking at Lou Rongrong with confusion and doubt.

Subconsciously, Lou Rongrong's tone became softer, and she repeated:

"You rest well, I will go ahead."

This time, the young man finally seemed to hear clearly, but he still refused to nod, and only slightly raised his eyes to look at her. In the dimly lit carriage, those eyes even revealed a bit of blue color like the eyes of wolves at midnight.

Lou Rongrong acquiesced that she had made it clear, so she just nodded to him, got out of the carriage with her skirt in hand, and walked into the Caiyun Building not far away.

The steward on the first floor was busy entertaining guests, when he saw her coming from the corner of his eye, Dang even explained a few words to the guest, greeted her with a smile, and said to her:

"It's a coincidence that you came today. Young master happened to be in the building today, and now he is drinking tea on the top floor and watching the account."

Lou Rongrong originally planned to come to Caiyunlou's chief manager, Gui'er, to inquire about "Guanghanyuan", but he didn't expect Yunyanzhu to be here today, so he was lucky.

When she went upstairs and saw Yun Yanzhu, she saw Yun Yanzhu pointing to the accounts and explaining something to Gui'er.

Lou Rongrong didn't go up to disturb her, she just strolled to take the books on the shelf and flipped through them by the window.

On the other hand, after Yun Yanzhu noticed her coming, he explained a few important things rather compactly in a few words, and waved his hand to signal Gui'er to come back later.

Today he is wearing a chiffon and bamboo cross-collar, but it is matched with an ink-colored ribbon and lining. His long hair is only tied up with white silk, a sandalwood-colored bamboo fan, and calligraphy and calligraphy. He is quite a literati. , then smiled and waved to Lou Rongrong, motioning for her to sit down opposite him.

Lou Rongrong closed the page in her hand, glanced at the direction Guier left, and said worriedly:

"If you have something to deal with urgently, you don't need to take care of me..."

Yun Yanzhu put the tea specially poured for her in front of her, and said with a smile:

"If there is any important thing, it's just some trivial chores. Even if you don't do it today, you will have to do it tomorrow. After all, you have to do it every day, but Rongrong can come to see my unlucky brother in person, that is a rare encounter. I can't afford to be lazy."

Hearing this, Lou Rongrong felt somewhat guilty. After all, he was so busy that he naturally neglected those close to him. Earlier in the palace, Zheng Baisheng reminded himself once, but instead of restraining himself, he became even more serious.

Yun Yanzhu thought that he had finally thought of him and came to Caiyun Building, but Lou Rongrong actually came to inquire about the news about "Guang Han Yuan".

Before she could figure out how to speak, Yun Yanzhu took a sip of tea leisurely, and said:

"Okay, little top, tell me, what did you plan to do when you came to Caiyun Building today? To inquire about news, or do you want to do something for the students of your academy?"

Lou Rongrong looked up in surprise:

"how do you know……"

Yun Yanzhu stretched out his hand, rubbed her head, and said with a smile:

"I don't know you yet? You only have other people in your eyes. You have come to Caiyun Tower ten times, and nine times it was for others. I am afraid that I will bring you here once. Besides, today I am thinking about it on the spur of the moment. When you come to Caiyun Tower, you don’t know I’m here, so how could you come for me?”

Lou Rongrong lowered her head, feeling even more guilty in her heart, but she still pursed her lips and said:

"There is a place called Guanghan Garden, do you know about it, Brother Beauty?"

Yun Yanzhu paused when he was pouring tea, his expression unconsciously became a little more serious, he turned his head to look at Lou Rongrong and said:

"Who told you about this place?"

Seeing his reaction, Lou Rongrong realized that there might be something tricky about it that she didn't know about, so she immediately became nervous and asked:

"I asked Feng Zijun to investigate a person, and finally found this place. I intend to go to investigate, why, but what is wrong?"

Seeing the sincerity on her face, Yun Yanzhu was silent for a moment, then turned around and continued the tea ceremony:

"This place is not a peaceful place. Do you know that there are mixed fish and dragons here, and how many secret news and goods that cannot be circulated on the market flow out from here?"

Lou Rongrong was taken aback for a moment, when Du Juan told her that the Fengzi army guessed that the meeting was here, she thought it was just a simple secret meeting with brothels as a cover, but she didn't think that this meeting seemed to be more important than hers. The scale is even bigger than imagined, and even Yun Yanzhu seems to be involved.

If this is the case, why didn't the Fengzi Army, known for collecting intelligence, never know about it?

Lou Rongrong thought of this question almost instantly, but she didn't dare to think deeply, so she hurriedly asked:

"Brother beauty, what do you mean, this place is a black market?"

Yun Yanzhu put down the teapot in his hand, raised his head patiently, and explained to her:

"That's true, but I'm afraid it's even deeper than the usual black market."

In Yunyanzhu's narration, Lou Rongrong finally understood the true face of Guanghanyuan.

Du Juan probably didn't tell her in detail in order to explain the reason more clearly. Guanghanyuan is not an ordinary brothel. In fact, Guanghanyuan is really a short street, hidden between two adjacent streets, and only regular customers and those who have been recommended can find the entrance.

The people who come here include prostitutes, high-ranking literati, high-ranking officials, bandits, low-class people, and even brothel girls who are prostitutes.

All kinds of people come here, apparently to visit the Hualou, but in fact, as Lou Rongrong said, it sells news as well as some prohibited goods.

This Lou Rongrong is more or less understandable, and she even knows that the imperial court sometimes specially leaves some black markets, just because the prohibition is inevitable, it is better to leave some roads, but it is better to control the flow of these contraband.

So far, although Guanghanyuan has some deep meaning, it is not beyond the scope of the black market. However, Yun Yanzhu's next words are somewhat incomprehensible.
