Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

In the evening of that day, Zhou Jun placed a warm cauldron in the side hall and prepared fine wine.

When the sun set, Song Ruo'e and Xie Qin hurried back from Huaqiong Tower. They entered the hall together and wished Zhou Jun all the best.

Zhou Jun saw that the two girls had put on shirts, skirts and harems, and had dressed up carefully. However, they were competing for beauty and showing off their beauty.

After Huayue and Qingchan came in with the ingredients, Zhou Jun invited everyone to sit down and poured some warm wine.

After Song Ruo'e sat down, she said to Zhou Jun: "On the fifteenth day of next month, a new play will be performed in Huaqiong Tower, and Erlang will definitely come to support it."

Zhou Jun heard this and asked: "What is the name of the play?"

Song Ruo'e said: "The Legend of White Snake."

Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The story is interesting, and it was written by a layman. I'm afraid that once it is performed, it will be sung in Chang'an for a long time."

Hua Yue, who was drinking fruit tea at the side, became interested when he heard these words and asked Zhou Jun: "What kind of story is it talking about?"

Zhou Jun: "A snake falls in love with a person."

Hearing this, Huayue almost spat out the fruit tea in her mouth.

When Song Ruo'e saw the painted moon, she couldn't help but clapped her hands and laughed.

Huayue straightened her clothes, frowned and asked: "There were dramas in ancient Rome that described the love between humans and animals, but can the Tang Dynasty people accept it?"

Zhou Jun waved his hand and said: "This story is a little different. Anyway, you will know when you read it."

Xie Qin, who had been eating quietly, said to Zhou Jun: "I heard that the Kang family in Liangzhou rebelled. Hundreds of people in the family were executed, and thousands more were used as official slaves."

Zhou Jun was shocked. Because the Kang family's rebellion involved the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple acted in secret to try to reduce the intensity of the incident. Jie Qin was in Bachuan, so he actually knew about it.

.

Zhou Jun looked normal and said to Xie Qin: "It is indeed true, but not many people know about it."

Jie Qin: "Dignitaries, merchants and scholars often discuss political affairs and secrets at banquets. Since it is a banquet, musicians and actors are naturally indispensable. Therefore, when Jie Qin went out to serve as an official, he also obtained fame through this method.

This news."

Zhou Jun pondered for a moment, and did not intend to go around in circles anymore. He directly asked Jie Qin: "Beili of Pingkangfang also used this method to obtain information in the past?"

Xie Qin: "Yes, for example, She Hongzhi from Beili Nanqu, on the stage is Douzhi and Hongjiao, but behind the scenes, she is the eyeliner of the right prime minister. She trains a large number of young girls under her to inquire for information."

Zhou Jun: "In other words, Hua Qionglou can also use this method to seize information?"

Xie Qin nodded and said: "Huaqiong Tower can not only refer to Beili, but even has advantages over Beili. Erlang, if you think about it, the situation in Chang'an City is complicated, and the eyes of all parties have already spread to every corner of the city. Especially Pingkang.

In a place like Fangfang, the right prime minister, the prince, the palace and the governors all bought or raised a lot of fine people. Therefore, it is almost impossible to arrange eyeliners."

"Let's talk about Huaqiong Tower. It's not far from Chang'an. You can go back and forth on the same day by boat. It's a newly built city, and there is no curfew. You rarely encounter censors and officials. Therefore, the officials of the capital, princes and inspectors

We prefer to come to Bachuan to hold banquets and discuss important matters."

Zhou Jun thought about it carefully and asked Jie Qin: "Huaqiong Tower was bought by Beili's fake mother, and the little girl in it was also sent by Beili. If we teach him a lesson, will there be any risk?"

Xie Qin knew what Zhou Jun was worried about, so he replied: "When we first built Huaqiong Tower, I had already made an agreement with the fake mothers in Beili. Since I have been promised the position of knowing everything, then musicians, servants

The selection of candidates is all decided by me, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

At this point, Jie Qin and Hua Yue looked at each other again, and continued: "Hua Yue and I did some screening of the people sent from Beili and removed many unstable people, leaving only those with clean qualifications.

Little girl."

Hua Yue also said to Zhou Jun at this time: "I have also conducted an investigation on the fake mothers in Beili who participated in the construction of Huaqiong Tower. There is no master behind them, they are all funders who are just looking for money."

After Zhou Jun heard this, he asked Hua Yue: "In that case, when the Huaqiong Tower was built, why was it not built solely by Bieyuan? Instead, the fake mother from Beili was introduced as the financial backer?"

Xie Qin answered this question: "Whenever a musician goes on an official mission, the jiafang needs to provide a list of the musicians and the owner's family. If the Huaqiong Tower is built in a separate garden, then the organizer of the banquet can be in the Kan of the official mission."

If you see Pang Gong or Erlang's name on the record, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary attention."

Zhou Jun understood: "So, the introduction of Beili's fake mothers as the sponsors of Hua Qiong Tower is actually using them as a cover to lower people's wariness of Hua Qiong Tower so that others will not be wary."...

Xie Qin nodded: "That's exactly the reason." Zhou Jun was silent for a while, looked at Xie Qin, and said helplessly: "This matter is risky, you don't need to do this."

Xie Qin looked at the others present, smiled and said to Zhou Jun: "In terms of outstanding talents, I am not as good as a layman; in terms of running a family business, I am not as good as painting the moon; in terms of organizing culture and administration, I am not as good as Qingchan... Erlang and I have a close relationship.

After thinking about it for a long time, I can only help you a little if I have the position of knowing."

Zhou Jun wanted to speak before trying to persuade him.

Xie Qin added: "I am just a daughter. I don't understand the important affairs of the family and the country. But after chatting with Huayue several times, I know that Erlang cares about the common people and carries heavy burdens all the way, so I want to do my best within my ability."

Zhou Jun put down the wine glass in his hand, first glanced at Hua Yue, who was bowing his head and said nothing, and then looked at Jie Qin, who was smiling. Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

After dinner, Song Ruo'e and Xie Qin returned to their residence in Bieyuan, while Xiao Qingchan went to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.

Zhou Jun came to the bedroom, looked at Huayue who was making the bed, and asked in a low voice: "Is it your idea to untie Qin?"

The movements in Huayue's hands did not stop: "I started it, but she agreed in the end."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Jun: "You should also know what I am doing. It is not dangerous enough to harm others, so why involve her?"

Huayue: "Did Erlang really not know? Or did he do it on purpose?"

Zhou Jun asked curiously: "What do you know?"

Hua Yue stopped her movements, turned around and said to Zhou Jun: "Everyone in Beili knows it's inappropriate to leave things alone, but he wants to come to Bachuan and start from scratch, working so hard to train those girls who don't know anything... Erlang really thinks that

Is Xie Qin doing this all for Song Ruo'e?"

Zhou Jun was silent for a moment.

Hua Yue saw Zhou Jun's expression and said with a headache: "Women of the Tang Dynasty are so troublesome. They don't say anything but keep it buried deep in their hearts. In the end, they suffer for themselves."

Zhou Jun hesitated for a moment and said to Hua Yue: "The road I am going to take may be bumpy and bumpy. Xie Qin could have stayed out of it."

Hua Yue stared at Zhou Jun, shook her head and said: "When we first met, I told you that Erlang didn't understand women. Now that these years have passed, there has been no progress at all."

Zhou Jun was speechless for a moment as he was snatched away by Hua Yue.

Hua Yue sighed, leaned down, and continued to tidy up the quilt: "Love is the most important thing. How can there be so much consideration and deliberation? Being able to accompany each other is the most important thing. In the Tang Dynasty, marriage must always be between women.

There was a gap between them, which made the women of the Tang Dynasty worry about gains and losses."

Zhou Jun looked at Huayue and asked, "What about marriage in Dashi?"

Draw the shape of the moon.

After a while, Hua Yue said softly: "The scriptures say that you can choose to marry the woman you like, and each of you can marry two wives, three wives, or four wives; but whoever marries two women as wives, prefers one and dislikes the other.

The other, then, whose body will be torn in two on the Day of Resurrection.”

Zhou Jun: "So, in a Dashi marriage, a man can marry multiple wives, but the premise is that everyone is equal and must be treated equally without favoritism?"

Huayue: "Yes, there is another one in Dashi's marriage."

Zhou Jun: "What?"

Hua Yue: "Do not marry women who associate themselves with the Lord until they believe... Do not marry your daughters to men who associate themselves with the Lord until they believe."

Zhou Jun: "In other words, if you want to marry a food-eating woman, the man must convert to Islam?"

Hua Yue nodded gently.

There was silence in the bedroom.

After a long time, Zhou Jun looked at Huayue and asked softly: "One day, will you plan to return to your hometown and return to your family?"

Huayue turned her back to prevent Zhou Jun from seeing her expression. She quickly left the room, leaving only one sentence: "I have more important things to do than go home."
