Chapter 68 The Decisive Battle at the White Horse Temple ([-])

But Wu Zetian didn't think so.

Don't look at this young man, his ambition is so high that even Xiao Bao'er was blown out by him.Even if a girl as beautiful as a flower is given to him, he may not enjoy it.And what can these delicate little girls do after him?However, given to this prostitute, she is getting older, and her temper has also smoothed out, and she is better at serving people than those little girls.

Therefore, it is more applicable to give him this happy prostitute than to give him a little girl.

Wang Hua had no choice but to thank Zhi, he didn't have Fang Xuanling's coquettish wife as a shield.Of course, the reason why Fang Xuanling is afraid of his wife is their relationship. Mrs. Lu was gouging out his eyes and showing his ambition when he was critically ill, and his love was so creepy.The second Mrs. Lu was born in Fan Yanglu!My mother's family is hard.

At this time, Zhang Yizhi made the icing on the cake and ordered someone to take out fifty gold and give it to Xiang Niao.That is 50 taels of gold, which is not a small sum of money. For 40 yuan, the first lacquer box and the second lacquer box carefully crafted by Wang Hua are only [-] gold.However, Zhang Yizhi's intentions were extremely good. If he gave it directly to Wang Hua, maybe this stubborn boy could refuse it in public, which would be disappointing.But the nature of gifting Xiang Niao is different. The membership status has not been handed over to Wang Hua yet, and Xiang Niao is still a member of his family. If it is not fifty gold, even five hundred gold, Wang Hua can't object.But giving it to Xiang Niao is equivalent to giving it to Wang Hua.

It was done so cleverly that Wang Hua was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.Just be vigilant in my heart, whoever said that he is a male favourite, also has a flexible mind, and the city is extremely deep, so I will be more careful in the future.

The party is finally over,

Except for a few people, because of Wang Hua's sudden favor, they hold grudges.Most of the people still left the Zhang Mansion happily.What happened today is a good talking point.

But Wang Hua was very depressed.What kind of thing is it that she got this happy prostitute for no reason?It's better in Luoyang. It's still affordable to support someone now. Guan Jian went back after a few days.

How can I explain to my family when I bring this fragrant squid back?To say that it was a reward from the emperor?I'm afraid even Sifeng Sanfeng also said that his brain is broken.

And an important element, don't think it's pitiful for Xiang Niao to stay in Zhang's mansion, but what life is in Zhang's mansion, she is a prostitute, and the only thing she can usually do is how to play the pipa well.But besides playing the pipa, what else can you do?When I get home, most of the work is done on the farm. Can this squid do it?Or let my father hold a small teacup while she sits aside and plays a small pipa all day long, isn't that ridiculous?

The most important thing is that Xiang Niao, Guan Jian, is a bit older, which means that compared with such a young girl companion in Zhang's house, she seems to be only in her early thirties, and her appearance is also neat, which may even make her father have evil thoughts.Don't say it's impossible, now the maid's status is extremely low, the master has taken a fancy to her, how dare she not accompany her?
He called Xiang Niao over and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Xiang Niao lowered her head and replied, "This slave is 32 years old."

I also feel awkward.If the little master is a little older, it seems that the little master has a gentle temper, maybe he is very lucky, at least he will have a brighter future than staying in Zhang's mansion.But this little master is too young.It's because she's not married, otherwise the children would be older than him, if the two stay together, which one is it?
Wang Hua also shook his head straight, what Lao Wu did was a bit unethical.This Xiang Niao is only one year younger than her mother, and she has really become a little mother. The only thing is that because of the hard life, her mother seems to be at least five years older than her.

He changed the subject again and asked, "Where are you from?"

Xiang Niao replied, "Is this servant from Chang'an?"

"Oh, that's a coincidence," Wang Hua pointed out that the merchant woman in "Pipa Xing" is also from Chang'an. Wang Hua continued to ask: "Then why did you come to Luoyang?"

This question made Xiang Tiao lower her head, and replied sobbingly: "The servants were filled in the inner teaching workshop because of the adult's crime, and later they were rewarded to Zhang's mansion."

In other words, her father may be an official who committed a crime. If it was serious, he would be executed.Or they were sent to Lingnan, and some were even further away, to Jiaozhi.Most of the later Vietnamese have the blood of these "sinners".

The family members of prostitutes are all official prostitutes, and some of them are good-looking or talented, and they are selected as palace prostitutes, which are also the best-paid prostitutes.The court prostitutes were divided into inner and outer teaching workshops. Later Tang Xuanzong divided the foreign teaching workshops into left and right teaching workshops, and the foreign teaching workshop in Chang'an was changed into Pingkangfang, also known as Pingkangli.

Foreign teachers should be more free in their actions. They can take the initiative to go out to accompany court officials, but they must be approved by the government.Although the actions of Neijiaofang are relatively strict, their main duty is to perform singing, dancing and musical skills for the emperor, and their treatment is better.But in fact, the emperor didn't treat them as human beings, and they were also playthings of princes and ministers.In case of special circumstances, the emperor would give them as gifts to his favorite ministers, to comfort them for their merits and to feel closer to them.At this time, the identity is changed again.From court prostitute to domestic prostitute.Although how many domestic prostitutes are allowed at any grade, most of them far exceed the prescribed quota.For example, Feng An, the Duke of Yue, kept more than 1 domestic prostitutes for his entertainment.

Even so, it may not necessarily get close to the master.Especially people like this fragrant squid, who are over thirty.

This is a history of suffering, Wang Hua didn't ask any more questions.

He began to continue to be silent in the final sprint of this lacquerware.Now this piece of lacquerware can be said to be basically completed, but Wang Hua is still making some modification of the details in order to make it perfect.

However, this time the banquet in the Zhang Mansion finally spread.Wang Hua's actions that night made his reputation widely spread by Luoyang people again, especially the song "Pipa Xing", because it is catchy, Luoyang men and women, old and young, will almost hum it twice.

Even shopkeeper He's attitude became extremely respectful when he saw him.Although his master may not care about this young man, he is nothing, a small shopkeeper. For this reason, he knows that Wang Hua is good at tea ceremony, and he also brought a pack of the best Fuyunchushan Huzhou tea cakes.

(Floating clouds come out of the mountain, referring to the curly wrinkles on the surface of the cake, which are the eight high-quality tea cakes rated by Lu Yu. At the same time, Lu rated Xiazhou, Guangzhou, Huzhou, Pengzhou, and Yuezhou tea as the best. Many famous tea varieties are still there. not available)

In fact, Wang Hua has a noncommittal attitude towards this kind of tea cake that has been steamed and then mashed and dried.However, even if he enjoys it, he is not qualified to talk about this condition now.

I said thanks and continued to fight.

This made Xiang Tiao feel that there was nothing to do. In fact, Wang Hua had very strict requirements on her own life, and basically she couldn't even do a favor.In the end, I was too idle to panic, so I even helped Lu Ergou and the four of them wash their clothes.

On the contrary, Lu Ergou and the others were very interested in Xiang Niao, not because of her beauty, but because of Zhang Yizhi's mansion and the situation in the palace.Anyone who has never been in these luxurious mansions is curious.

Xiang Niao has a good temper, so she explained them one by one.In fact, she doesn't know much about it, let alone the palace, that is, in Zhang Yizhi's mansion, there are more than 1000 servants alone, each serving his 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 on the seventh day of the seventh month is approaching.

At this time, Lu Ergou came in and reported: "Erlang, come out and have a look."

What's the matter, flustered?

Wang Hua walked out of the living room, stood at the gate, and saw an incredible scene.

There is a beautiful little girl outside the door, but her behavior is very weird, even weirder than the Xinli he wrote.
