In a small restaurant near Sharp Pig Lane, Yelu Renxian bowed deeply: "How many years have passed since Tang Longzhen's brother was captured by the Song army. I have finally felt relieved when I saw that you are still well. Although this time I was captured, my brothers finally met again."

Yelu Yi first helped his younger brother up and said, "After so many years, I realized that being an ordinary person is enough. Since you are here, don't think about the past anymore. Let's spend the second half of your life together."

The two of them sat down, and Yelu Renxian said, "Taiwei Du said, I advise the Yelu Sect of Datong Prefecture to be willing to contribute to the city and be able to enter the prison camp and find a job to make some money. When we go there to do our jobs, we are particularly favorable, and we have dozens of stagnant coins per month."

Yelu Yi smiled and shook his head: "According to me, don't go. My small restaurant still has more than 100 stagnants of money a month, which is as powerful as the dozens of stagnants of the prison city camp. Taiwei Du thought that you were all high-ranking officials and had a large family population, so he gave so much money. After a long time, it is impossible for him to always be like this. In Kaifeng City, how many officials are there for dozens of stagnants of money a month?"

Yelu Renxian hesitated a little: "If you don't go, will others gossip in your eyes?"

Yelu Yi first said: "What are you talking about? From now on, we are ordinary people in Kaifeng Prefecture. If we have a good relationship, we will walk around more often. If we have a bad relationship, we will not talk in the future. If the people live, we will live as much as we live."

After hearing this, Yelu Ren was silent for a while before he said unbelievably: "Brother, can you really be an ordinary person?"

Yelu Jiaoxian said: "It's just an ordinary citizen, otherwise what else would it be? When I was captured in Kaifeng Prefecture, I was imprisoned for two years, and then I released it. At that time, the Khitan was still a big country, and the imperial court might have any ideas and give it money every month. Later, I might no longer want to use me, so I let myself make a living. After I took this store, I put in a lot of effort to achieve today."

Yelu Renxian said: "But I always feel that if a royal family like us and who have been a high-ranking official in the Khitan, the Song people would not really let it go. Otherwise, some people would like to repeat the old country in their hearts and would always cause trouble."

Yelu Yi heard it first and shook his head disdainfully: "When the Khitan was there, there were entire countries and hundreds of thousands of troops, all easily defeated by the Song army. Now when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture, he was still thinking about making a fuss? There was really someone like this, but he was destroyed by the backhand!"

Yelu Ren looked at his brother, with a vicissitudes of life, and he was very skilled in doing things. Although he grew up together, he didn't know him anymore. Over the years, he didn't know how he came from Kaifeng, so it must not be easy. Being able to open a restaurant naturally had the help of the Song Dynasty, and his own efforts were less. Yes, many of the captured Khitan generals were immersed in the past and could not really know themselves.

My brother is right. There are entire countries and hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are vulnerable in Youzhou. What else can I do now? Du Zhongxiao looks very kind, but he doesn't mean that if the Khitan prisoners rebel, they will not be harsh.

After thinking for a long time, Yelu Ren sighed first: "What my brother said is. However, I still want to go to the prison camp to do things. Even if it is not suitable, it would be better if I don't do it anymore. After all, many acquaintances there disappeared from them all at once, and I felt it was strange."

Yelu Yi said first: "If you decide to do this, then do it. If there is anything, just come and tell me. However, we are our own brothers, and there is a saying that we will tell you. A few dozen trump cards a month is not a small amount of money, and the court will not continue to pay this way. At most, a few years later, I am afraid that you who do things will still have to find your own way of life. These days, you will pay attention to it. If you have the opportunity, you will start your next business as soon as possible. In the Song Dynasty, it is different from the original Khitan. Kaifeng Prefecture is the most prosperous place in the world. The thing we recognize here is money. If you have money, you will have everything. If you don’t have money, you will be unable to move forward. It is different from the Khitan. My restaurant is not big, but it is difficult to make a lot of money every year. It is considered a wealthy man."

Yelu Renxian said: "Yes, in such a prosperous Kaifeng Mansion, my brother's restaurant is really inconspicuous. How can I earn more than 100 chunks a month? If I were in the Khitan, such a restaurant would not be able to make this money in a year."

Yelu Yi first said: "How could the prosperity of the Song Dynasty be compared with the Khitan? Moreover, this is a Pig Killing Lane, with many fireworks nearby, and there are many rich people looking for fun. Many women there will ask customers to order food here, and the business will be fine."

After hearing this, Yelu Ren smiled and said, "This kind of money is easy to make."

Yelu Yi first said: "It's not that easy. Every month, I want to give those women many benefits. If I accidentally offend them, the business will be much worse. Many people do this kind of business here."

Fireworks and Willow Lane are almost difficult to cut off except for the very few countries in history. In the Song Dynasty, prostitutes were not illegal, and there were many people who sang and sang music in restaurants and drank with others. However, prostitutes were illegal, so most of them were run in the name of families. The colorful brothels in movies and TV actually did not exist. Many of the things about ancient times did not exist in history. Many of the scenes in film and television works were imagined from the social customs of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

In this era, near big restaurants, there are usually brothels with family style. Generally, couples are in charge of chores, recruiting customers, and doing business with their daughters. There are also daughters, adopted daughters, and guests in the restaurant, and they will recruit them. After the two parties have agreed, they will live in their house. There will also be idle children who will help recruit customers, play with customers, and everyone will share the money together.

Sharp Pig Lane is one of the places with the most brothels in Kaifeng City, and is the Golden Cave. Yelu Yixian’s restaurants are usually connected with nearby brothels. When they have guests, they will come to the restaurant to have fun, or order food from the restaurant at home. When guests come to the restaurant, Yelu Yixian will first let the women he is familiar with come to make money. Without these ways, he will not make so much money in a month.

Yelu Ren was very strange when he heard this and thought how could this be possible? When he was in the Khitan, his title was king, he was left behind in Nanjing and the most noble group of people in the world. Even though the Khitan was defeated, he would never make such money.

Yelu Yi would not say much for now. It is necessary to go through life and beaten. Yelu Renxian can understand that life is like this. Where can nobleness and poverty come from? It is already very good to be able to make money and live well.

In the evening, Yelu Yi first set up a table of wine and food, and chatted with Yelu Ren. After making money over the years, Yelu Yi had already married a wife in Kaifeng Prefecture and had a son. He loved his son very much when he was old and lived a carefree life. His old wife, who used to be in the Khitan, relied on Yelu Renxian to take care of him. After a few years, she had passed away the year before. The children who stayed in the Khitan were already adults, and seeing Yelu Yixian's appearance, he didn't ask them much.

In Yelu Renxian's eyes, his brother has become an ordinary citizen of the Song Dynasty and cannot see what he used to be. He even wondered if he would be like this many years later? Without the Khitan, he is no longer a high-ranking official and nobleman, without the power in his hands, he has no children and groups of child servants. Is it just that he can only do this? He is a little unwilling, but also a little glad.

When a country is defeated, high-ranking officials and nobles are often knocked down and buried. How many people can live such a stable life? Even if they have a good life and can be appreciated by the new king, they must live a life of fear. It is not easy to be able to live the life of ordinary people.

Now when I think back to what Du Zhongxiao said, I understand a little. Maybe the Song Dynasty wanted these Khitan princes and nobles to learn to live an ordinary life like Kaifeng Prefecture. Forget the past, don’t have any worries in your heart and learn to be a common person.

He sighed slightly, Yelu Renxian could only be glad that he was destroyed before the destruction of Yelu Hongji's army. His family was still there, and his family's property was still there, so he would not live a shabby life at least.
