A few days later, the envoy of the State of Qin returned and handed over a greeting card, and indeed the singer of the State of Wei was brought.

Cheng Qiao came out of the palace and took a look. He looked pure and charming, very similar to the head of the Jade Girl in his previous life. His name was Lan Rui, and his singing voice was like that of an oriole, clear, bright, and melodious.

Satisfied, Cheng Qiao accepted it and told Xiu Niang to take care of it and treat her on the same level as the Qin people in the mansion without any discrimination.

In this era, showgirls and dancers had low status, and even concubines could be given away to each other. In the eyes of most powerful people, they were nothing more than playthings.

Since it has been sent to you, accept it. With his status, it is not a big deal. It is better to follow him than to follow other powerful people. At least you can ensure safety, food and clothing, and you don't have to move around.

Since the return of Qin's envoys, Qin has begun to recuperate and accumulate strength. Without Qin's intervention, other big countries are generally recuperating and recuperating. Most places in the world have finally ushered in the long-lost peace, but only a few places are still in constant disputes.

Cheng Qiao's life returned to its former peace and order. At most, he occasionally left the palace to bicker with Nianduan, tease Duan Murong, and listen to Lan Rui's singing.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Qiao is actually not used to the songs of this era. Although he understands and appreciates them, he still prefers the classic songs of the first generation.

There is no way, although there is a second life, they are busy practicing hard, and singing is not popular in Longhu Mountain, so many hobbies still retain the habits of the first life.

Since there is a singer with superb singing skills, there is no need to use it in vain, and at the same time to reassure her, Cheng Qiao selected some classic songs suitable for Lan Rui, said the lyrics, hummed the tune roughly, and then handed over the perfect task. Give it to Lan Rui.

Although the task was very heavy, Lan Rui was very happy.

This means that she has established a firm foothold in a foreign country and a completely unfamiliar place. When the owner uses her, it proves that she is valuable and will not be abandoned casually.

Although those songs were too vulgar in Lan Rui's opinion, especially the lyrics that were too straightforward, if the master liked them, it was worth her full study.

So except for eating, drinking, having sex and taking the necessary rest, Lan Rui turned her back on the outside world and devoted herself to research, striving to sing all the songs perfectly in the shortest possible time.

Lan Rui's every move is actually under Cheng Qiao's nose. After all, he is a new person in the house and needs to be carefully observed. If there is any deviant intention, it will be dealt with silently.

Cheng Qiao noticed Lan Rui's hard work and dedication, but didn't care about it. For some people, being busy is a good thing, and it wouldn't be nice to have the leader of Jade Girl sing those familiar classic songs to him alone early. ?

…

Soon, the first day of October came. This day is the most important festival of the Qin State. New Year's Day has a status similar to the Spring Festival in later generations. In fact, it was the New Year's Eve in the pre-Qin period, also known as the Wax Festival.

According to the Five Virtues, the Qin State is a water virtue, and black is the most noble. The calendar is "Jianhai", that is, October is the first month of the year, and the beginning of October is included in the next year, not the first month.

This custom continued until the early Han Dynasty. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the first month of the year was returned to the first month of the year, and there were few changes in later generations.

In ancient times, people depended on the sky for food. According to the lunar calendar, winter lasted from October to December. On the first day of October, autumn had not yet faded and winter had just entered. But after the grain harvest was finished, the year's work was over.

In this sense, it is reasonable to set the year, that is, the beginning of the year in October.

Wax sacrifices involve large sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestors and gods. The so-called "gods" include figures such as Shen Nong and Hou Ji, as well as animals such as cats and tigers. Even dams, canals, huts, roads, etc. are the objects of sacrifice.

There is another festival in December called the wax festival, and the word wax is actually the same as the word hunt.

Winter is a good season for hunting. You bring prey to honor your ancestors, and of course other gods, such as the five sacrifices: the household god, the kitchen god, the door god, the earth god, and the walking god.

People worship their ancestors all year round, and the wax festival is actually a winter festival.

The wax offering is mainly for the agricultural production of the year, while the wax offering is generally to pray for the safety of people and animals in the home. The wax offering and the wax offering will be combined into one in later generations to celebrate the New Year in later generations.

Most festivals in China appeared in the pre-Qin period and were basically finalized during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Cheng Qiao has experienced these two festivals before, and there is nothing new and curious about them the first time. Compared with the festivals in his first life, they are more solemn and equally festive.

What was slightly different from the previous festivals was that Cheng Qiao came out of the house, took Jing Salaman with him, Nian Duan and Duan Murong listened to Lan Rui singing.

The singing skills are impeccable, but the emotional aspect is a bit weak. Since Lan Rui has no similar experience, she is impeccable. Overall, she is pretty good.

Therefore, Cheng Qiao rewarded Lan Rui with some money and silk, which recognized Lan Rui's efforts and made her cry with joy.

Lan Rui has finally established a firm foothold in Chang'an Junfu. If the team of singers expands in the future, she will be the leader, and she will be a leader regardless of the size.

And it is certain that Lan Rui will definitely become a leader, because with Cheng Qiao's status, even if he does not deliberately cultivate singers and dancers, there will definitely be countless people who will come to fawn over him and scramble to put together the pomp that Chang'an Junfu deserves. Already.

…

Entering 246 BC, there is no need for era names to record the year. The seven kingdoms have different era names, which is very complicated and troublesome.

Cheng Qiao was one year older and almost two inches taller. After staying there peacefully for a few months, Jingji thought about it and thought of going out for a walk.

Rather than just wandering around aimlessly, Cheng Qiao wanted to visit the Taoist and Yin Yang schools to increase his knowledge and knowledge, and see if he could improve his attainments in the Golden Light Curse to the level of Zhang Zhiwei...

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. The Taoist and Yin-Yang schools have profound foundations and are of great reference value.

Since he was busy practicing in his previous life, Cheng Qiao didn't have a deep understanding of the Taoist scriptures. He just wanted to be qualified. It would be very beneficial to practice to seek advice from some experts, especially Bei Mingzi of the Taoist school and Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin and Yang school. It is absolutely possible. Give useful pointers.

The specific combat power of these two people is currently unknown, but their cultivation is definitely Qin Shizhong's ceiling.

Although the realm of cultivation is not completely equivalent to combat power, the cultivation level and combat power of the ceiling are definitely not low, and they are guaranteed to be masters among masters!

With his identity, cultivation, and strength, I sincerely ask for advice. If he doesn’t give me some advice, do you still want to mess around?

Don't think that Qin has nothing to do if you stay in the mountains!

No matter how powerful the various schools of thought are, facing Qin's all-out encirclement and suppression, they can only retreat and retreat. No one can confront thousands of armies alone...

After Xiuniang heard about Cheng Qiao's idea, she immediately asked to take care of her, but Cheng Qiao refused.

Xiu Niang doesn't know martial arts, so it's really a burden when she has to use her legs to travel, so she might as well stay in Xianyang and take care of the affairs outside and inside the palace for him.

Zhong Qian followed the same principle and was not allowed to follow him.

Naturally, the two of them did not dare to disobey Cheng Qiao's orders, but they were worried that Cheng Qiao would not have a good time on the road, so after asking for instructions from Cheng Qiao, the two of them went to the mansion outside the palace in person to train Jingshao on how to take care of people...

Jing Salamander, a first-class assassin who was born in a trap, was forced to learn how to cook, how to make tea, how to undress and other trivial things. Fortunately, Jing Salamander had a quiet and meticulous temperament, so he was able to endure the study.

The two of them also had the idea of ​​practicing martial arts. How could they not be with their master for a long time? What would they do if they fell out of favor?

Cheng Qiao naturally didn't need any explanation for Xiuniang and Zhong Qian, but Ying Zichu needed them all.

If you want to go out, you must persuade Ying Zichu, otherwise it will be impossible to pass through the grandmother and mother.

Cheng Qiao racked his brains to think of something to say, but unexpectedly after expressing his thoughts, Ying Zichu simply said two sentences, "Listen more and read more, understand the real situation in the world, and help your brother not to be taken advantage of by the people below." People are blinded” and “Be safe and proceed with caution.”

After saying that, Lu Fang asked Lu Fang to get a special tiger talisman. Although this tiger talisman was only half a piece, its color was different from the ordinary tiger talisman. Not to mention how exquisite it was, the color was black with red, black, the most noble one in Qin State. color.

This half of the Tiger Talisman cannot be mobilized except for the army near Xianyang. The Qin army anywhere else can be mobilized, with an upper limit of 200,000!

If two special pieces of tiger match one, plus the king's edict, any Qin army in the world, including the imperial army, can be mobilized, with no limit on the number.

Cheng Qiao didn't say anything. He slowly knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Zichu. This heavy fatherly love could not be described in any words, and then left.

With the half tiger talisman given by Ying Zichu, it was very easy for my mother to convince her.

Finally, Cheng Qiao went to say goodbye to the Queen Mother Huayang, Zhao Ji, and Ying Zheng.

Queen Mother Huayang didn't say much, she just told Cheng Qiao to pay attention to safety.

Zhao Ji babbled a lot, but the main point was that after Cheng Qiao left, the palace would become less fun. She felt unhappy, so she ravaged Cheng Qiao's handsome face.

Cheng Qiao promised to search for some fresh gadgets for Zhao Ji and finally escaped the ravage.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything about asking Cheng Qiao to pay attention to safety. She just asked Cheng Qiao to come back early and gave him a sum of money, saying it would be used as expenses on the road.

Although it is said to be travel expenses, in fact, the amount of money is enough to keep the entire network running for half a month, and the amount is enough to scare ordinary people!

Although Zhao Ji is a little woman and is relatively love-minded, she is never stingy with people she sees, appreciates, and likes. She is quite generous and is the thickest thigh for a man who loves to eat soft food!

Ying Zheng was extremely envious of Cheng Qiao being able to go out and wander around, but his responsibilities and Ying Zichu were weighing on him, so he could only stay in Xianyang and stay in the palace.

Ying Zheng didn't say much, he just asked Cheng Qiao to come back early to practice sword practice with him, and gave Cheng Qiao the sword he had been using since returning to Qin for self-defense, and patted his shoulder. That's all.

After breakfast the next day, Cheng Qiao left Xianyang secretly with Jing Salamander.
