Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Hearing Zhou Jun's words, Hua Yue didn't take it seriously: "If you want to become a disciple, you can do a lot by sending some copper goods."

Zhou Jun shook his head and said: "It's not copper."

Turning his face towards Aunt Gongsun, Zhou Jun said: "Yin Zhonghuan likes to eat stir-fried vegetables, so they have lunch and dinner with Pang Mansion. On weekdays, Chun Niang cooks the dishes, puts them in the food box, and hands them to her.

Yin Gong’s maidservants.”

"Starting from tomorrow, I will tell you that the elder of the Fan family will deliver meals."

Hua Yue listened at a loss and asked: "Asking Gongsun's eldest son to help deliver food, is this your apprenticeship ceremony?"

Aunt Gongsun was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, she was overjoyed. She saluted Zhou Jun and said, "Erlang is still thoughtful, and I can't thank you enough."

When Huayue saw this, she was so shocked that she opened her mouth, but she didn't understand what was going on.

When the practice was over, Aunt Gongsun left with a happy face. Hua Yue couldn't wait to ask Zhou Jun what was going on.

Zhou Jun said to Hua Yue: "The eldest of the five sons of the Fan family is almost the weakest."

"In the Tang Dynasty, a man should marry at the age of fifteen and a woman at the age of thirteen. If a man has not married at the age of twenty without a legitimate reason and is discovered by an official, he must report it to the government and be punished according to Tang law."

Huayue still didn't understand: "What does Gongsun's son marrying a wife have to do with delivering food?"

Zhou Jun said: "There are too few marriageable women in the Pang Mansion. And there are many maids in the Yin Gong Mansion, just in the Caiwei Courtyard. Do you understand what I say?"

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Do you want the eldest son of the Fan family to take the opportunity of delivering food to see Yin Gong's maids and choose one of them to marry?"

Zhou Jun said: "Although the maidservants of Yin Mansion belong to Duke Yin."

"But based on Pang Gong's face, if I go to beg for mercy again, maybe Yin Gong will agree to let me go."

"Besides, Mrs. Gongsun should be able to understand what she just said. On the surface, she said she was delivering food, but in fact, she meant to help her son-in-law act as a matchmaker."

Hua Yue frowned and asked, "People in the Tang Dynasty like to use roundabout ways when talking. Can you just tell Aunt Gongsun that you are willing to help her find a daughter-in-law?"

Zhou Jun smiled and shook his head and said: "Marriage is not only about matchmaking, but also about whether it is feasible."

"With the excuse of sending meals, if the eldest man of the Fan family can find a beautiful girl and they are happy with each other, it will naturally be his blessing."

"But even if both men and women agree, Pang Gong and Yin Gong must also agree."

"If one of the two hosts objects, the marriage may not go through."

"So, you have to leave some room for words and deeds, and stick to your words. If you don't succeed, you will only get into trouble in the end."

Hearing this, Huayue finally understood the deep meaning of Zhou Jun's words.

After saying this, Zhou Jun suddenly remembered something and said to Hua Yue: "I almost forgot to mention that at the end of this month, there will be a caravan going to the Western Regions. I have already said hello to the steward and booked a place for you."

Hearing this, Hua Yue froze on the spot and did not speak for a long time.

Zhou Jun added: "It will be September or October to set off from Chang'an in May and arrive at Atami City in Guishang Prefecture. Clothing, daily necessities, transportation, and documents must be prepared from now on."

There was no sadness or joy on Huayue's face, she just responded.

Zhou Jun: "When you get to Atami City, hire a car or ride a horse. In less than three to five days, you can enter the great province of Khorasan, and you can even go home."

Huayue lowered her head and responded again.

Zhou Jun was not very interested when he saw Hua Yue. He just thought that Hua Yue was nostalgic for the prosperity of Chang'an. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I still owe you a favor."

Huayue raised her head and looked at Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun: "Don't remember? You helped me create fire clay, and I promised to complete something for you."

Huayue just nodded and said softly: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhou Jun: "It's still some time before departure. I think about it slowly and there's no rush. Just tell me before leaving."

At dinner time, Zhou Jun just left the wing and saw Yuping walking over.

Yuping waved to Zhou Jun and said, "Erlang, the master wants you to go have a drink."

Zhou Jun nodded, straightened his clothes, and followed Yuping into Zhongyuan.

As the two of them were walking, Yuping said: "After Erlang went in, he persuaded some of the masters that drinking too much would harm your health."

Zhou Jun was stunned and asked: "But there are others?"

Yuping nodded and said: "Yin Gong is here too."

Zhou Jun lowered his head and thought for a while, but said no more.

After entering the hall and entering the side room, Zhou Jun saw Pang Gong and Yin Darong, eating and chatting over a jar of wine. The food on the table was not moved at all.

Seeing Zhou Jun enter the door, Yin Darong smiled and said: "Erlang took a look at the troupe, what do you think?"

Zhou Jun cupped his hands and said: "The spring dawn in Huawu is wonderful."

Yin Darong was overjoyed. He raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, and then said: "Our family feels that there are still a few people in the troupe, and we don't realize it. If it is a song and dance drama, if it is choreographed like this, the formations will be

It seems petty."

Pang Gong said from the side: "If the Bao family wants to recruit more people, just do it. The courtyard in this villa must be enough."

The meaning of what Pang Gong and Yin Darong said was that they wanted to increase the number of musicians and musicians.

Zhou Junchu heard it, but he didn't think it was anything.

It is normal for a theater troupe to create scenes and add extra pomp and circumstance.

I just heard Yin Darong say: "The Bieyuan place is big enough, but it's hard to find people."

Pang Gong took a mouthful of vegetables and said while eating: "What's so difficult about this? Erlang is a slave tooth man. It's easy to help the Bao family find some musical instruments."

Yin Darong looked at Zhou Jun and asked with a smile: "Erlang, is it really as Pang Gong said?"

Zhou Jun thought for a moment and replied: "Musicians and musicians belong to the household of miscellaneous workers. They are untouchables, but they are very different from slaves."

"There are probably four places where it comes from."

"They are palace dancers, official dancers, family dancers and casual dancers."

"Most palace concubines come from the Liyuan Jiaofang. Every year, there are quotas for being released, white, and transferred. You need to have a good relationship with Leying before you can hire them."

"Official performers come from the mansions of prefectures, counties, and vassal towns. You can inquire with the prefectures and counties near Chang'an to see if there are any performers working at home."

"Family servants are servants kept privately by noble families. It is not easy to hire them. However, there are also big families who have to dismiss miscellaneous households due to changes in the family. Maybe they can be hired."

"The last thing is Sanji."

"Among the four types of musicians, the number of loose musicians is the largest. They can be found in restaurants, restaurants, and brothels."

"However, there is a mixed bag of tricks here, so it is not easy to find them. You need someone who is familiar with the tricks to help you distinguish them, so that you can choose the best one."

Yin Darong nodded while listening. After listening, he said with a smile: "If we leave the slave tooth matter to Erlang, our family will feel relieved."

Pang Gong shook his head and said: "As Erlang is in charge of the garden, it is very inconvenient to deal with outsiders."

Yin Darong looked at Pang Gong and asked: "Then according to Pang Gong's wishes, why not find an official position for Erlang?"

Pang Gong: "Yes."

Yin Darong lowered his head and thought while saying: "Let us think about it, who should we talk to?"

"Yes, our family has an old relationship with the Minister of Justice. If he is just a low-ranking official, he will definitely give him this face."

"As for the official position, it should not be too high or too low, and it should be convenient. Hmm... How about the history of the official affairs of the Ministry of Justice? Although he is a second-grade official who has been exiled, he is also in charge of the prisoners' official books and the provision of food and clothing.

For medical matters, it is best to find musicians."

Zhou Jun was listening nearby and suddenly reacted.

Wait, is it possible that you want to be an official?
