Chapter 72 Decisive Battle at White Horse Temple (1)
But Wu Zetian didn't think so.
Although this young man has a high mindset, even Xiao Guer was knocked out. Even if he was given a beautiful girl, he might not be able to enjoy it. And what can these delicate little girls do after following him? However, the gift of this music prostitute has become older and has a smoother temperament, and he can serve people more than those little girls.
Therefore, giving him this musical prostitute is more suitable than giving him a little girl.
Wang Hua had no choice but to thank him, but he didn't have Fang Xuanling's coaxing wife as a shield. Of course, the reason why Fang Xuanling was afraid of his wife was their relationship. Mrs. Lu was conscious when he was critically ill, and her love was so terrifying. Second, Mrs. Lu was born in Lu, Fanyang! Her mother's family was tough.
At this time, Zhang Yizhi added icing on the cake and ordered people to take out fifty gold and give it to Xiangzi. That is fifty taels of gold, which is quite a lot of money. Forty thousand yuan, the first and second lacquer boxes carefully made by Wang Hua were only fifty gold. However, Zhang Yizhi's intention was extremely good. If he gave it to Wang Hua directly, this stubborn boy might be able to refuse in public, which would make people disappoint. But giving it to Xiangzi is a different nature. Now, the official book has not been handed over to Wang Hua. Xiangzi is still from his family. If it doesn't cost fifty gold, even five hundred gold, Wang Hua can't object. But giving it to Xiangzi is equivalent to giving it to Wang Hua.
The trick was very clever, which made Wang Hua stunned for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason to refuse. He was just alert in his heart. Who said he was a male lover, who was also flexible and cunning, and he became more careful in the future.
The grand event finally ended.
Except for a few others, because Wang Hua suddenly gained favor and held a grudge. Most of them left the Zhang Mansion happily. What happened today is a good topic of conversation.
But Wang Hua was very depressed. He got this music prostitute innocently. What happened to him? It was better in Luoyang. Now he could still afford to raise someone. The key is that he would go back in a few days.
How do you explain to your family when you take this Xiangzi back? You just say it was rewarded by the emperor? I'm afraid even Sifeng and Sanfeng said that he was broken.
And an important element, although Xiangzi is pitiful in Zhang's house, what kind of life does Zhang's house have? She is a music prostitute. I'm afraid the only thing she can do is how to play the pipa well. But what else can she do besides playing the pipa? After arriving at home, it's mostly farm work. Can Xiangzi do this? Or let her father hold a small teacup and she sits beside her playing a small pipa all day long. Isn't this a big deal?
The most important thing is that Xiangzi is a little older, which also means that compared with such a young girl in the Zhang family, she seems to be in her early thirties and looks neat, which may even make her father have evil thoughts. Not to mention that it is impossible, now the maid has a very low status and the master likes her. Who dares not to accompany her?
He called Xiangzi over and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Xiangzi lowered her head and replied, "I am thirty-two years old this year."
I also felt quite embarrassed. If this little master was older, it seemed that this little master had a gentle temper. Maybe he was very lucky, at least he had a day to make a name for himself than staying in the Zhang Mansion. But this little master was too young. This is because she was not married, otherwise the children would be older than him. If these two people stayed together, which one was considered to be?
Wang Hua also shook his head. What Lao Wu did was a bit unauthentic. Xiangzi was only one year younger than her mother and really became a little mother. The only thing was that because of the hard life, her mother seemed to be at least five years older than her.
He changed the topic and asked, "Where are you from?"
Xiangzi replied, "I am from Chang'an?"
"Oh, that's a coincidence," Wang Hua pointed out that the business woman in "Pipa Xing" was also from Chang'an. Wang Hua continued to ask: "So why did you come to Luoyang?"
This question made Xiangqi lower his head and replied sobbingly: "I was admitted to the inner sect because of the adult crime and was later rewarded by Zhang's mansion."
In other words, her father might be an official who committed a crime. If it is serious, he will be executed. Later generations will be exiled as soldiers and women will be prostitutes. Or they will be exiled to Lingnan, some will be exiled to Jiaozhi. Most of the later Vietnamese were in the blood of these "sinners".
The female family members who entered the prostitute were all official prostitutes. Some of them were good-looking or talented, and were selected as palace prostitutes, which was also the best-treated prostitutes. Palace prostitutes were divided into internal teaching houses and foreign teaching houses. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang divided the foreign teaching houses into left and right teaching houses, and Chang'an's foreign teaching houses were changed to Pingkangfang, also known as Pingkangli.
The foreign teachers' office should be more free to act and take the initiative to accompany the court officials, but it must be approved by the government. Although the internal teachers' office should be relatively strict, their main responsibility is to perform singing, dancing and music skills and treat them better. But in fact, the emperor did not treat them as human beings, and they were also playthings for princes and ministers. If there is a special situation, the emperor would give them as gifts to his beloved ministers to comfort the credit and be closer. At this time, his identity changed again. He changed from a palace prostitute to a family prostitute. Although the rank of the rank of the family prostitute is allowed to raise, most of them far exceed the prescribed quota. For example, Feng Ang, Duke of Yue, has raised more than 10,000 family prostitutes for him to enjoy.
Even so, you may not be close to your master. Especially for this Xiangzi, who are over thirty.
This is a painful history, and Wang Hua didn't ask any more.
He began to continue to be silent in the final sprint of this lacquerware. Now this lacquerware can be said to be basically completed, but Wang Hua is still making some detailed modifications to the situation in order to make it perfect.
However, this time the Zhang Mansion banquet finally spread. Wang Hua's actions that night made his reputation widely circulated by the people of Luoyang again, especially the song "Pipa Xing". Because it is easy to talk, Luoyang men and women, young and old, would almost hum a few times.
Even the shopkeeper He became extremely respectful when he saw him. Although his master may not care about this young man, he is nothing, a shopkeeper. For this reason, he knew that Wang Hua was good at tea ceremony and brought a pack of the best tea cakes from Huzhou.
(Floating clouds come out of the mountain, referring to the curly wrinkles on the cake. It is the eight high-quality tea cakes that Lu Yu rated. At the same time, Lu rated Xiazhou, Guangzhou, Huzhou, Pengzhou and Yuezhou tea as the best, and many famous tea varieties have not yet been released)
In fact, Wang Hua did not mind whether this kind of tea cake that was crushed and dried after steaming green. However, even if he enjoyed it, he was not qualified to give this condition now.
Thank you and continued to fight.
This made Xiang Chi feel idle. In fact, Wang Hua has strict requirements on her life, so she basically couldn't help her. In the end, she was so idle that she even helped wash the clothes of Lu Ergou and the others.
However, Lu Ergou and the others were very interested in Xiangzi, not in her appearance, but in the situation in Zhang Yi's mansion and the palace. They had never been to these luxurious mansions and were curious.
Xiangzi has a good temper and explains it one by one. In fact, she doesn’t know much about it. Not to mention the palace, that is, there are more than a thousand servants in Zhang Yi’s mansion, each serving their own duties. Like her low status, she dare not walk around at all.
In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of the seventh month, and the meeting is approaching.
At this time, Lu Ergou came in and reported: "Erlang, come out and take a look."
What's the matter, panic?
Wang Hua walked out of the living room, stood at the gate, and saw an incredible scene.
Chapter completed!
