Chapter 1 Mr. Lantian
In the second year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a great emperor Li Shimin was in his prime, and the blood of Xuanwu Gate was not cold. One day that year, Yuan Tiangang, a famous master of alchemy in history, walked in Chaotianguan, the most dangerous place in the Thousand Miles of Shu Road. Seeing the king's aura in Licheng, he entered the city to meet the daughter of the warrior and said, "If this son is a daughter, he should be the master of the world."
At that time, the daughter of the Wu family was only five years old and was dressed as a boy. It was also that year that Li Shimin's ninth son, Li Zhi, was born.
This is the legend of "Looking up to the sky, looking at the clouds".
Half a century passed in a blink of an eye, and the Tang Dynasty was named "Yonglong". Li Zhi had ruled the world for more than 30 years. Now he is his queen who is in charge of the court behind the curtain - it is the Wu girl of that year.
People all over the world called them the "Two Saints", and the emperor and the empress ruled the world together, and were called the "Two Saints in the Dynasties".
Li Zhi was seriously ill and could not bear the court service. All his power was in the hands of the queen of Wu. The queen "Wu Zetian" was about to emerge.
In the second year of Yonglong (681 AD), the Tang Empire had the widest territory, the rivers and rivers were clear and the world was filled with wealth. Just like a man, he was in the golden year of his thirty.
One day in early spring, the sun is sunny.
Lantian County under Jingzhao Prefecture is as peaceful and quiet as ever.
As the best wine shop in the county, Zuixianlou is still full of wine and meat. Today, there are three or five young talented people here to enjoy the wine and recite poems and essays, which makes many diners watch and admire.
Poetry, wine, sword, beautiful girls are the four treasures that are the favorites of talented men and officials today, and are also the most popular fashion nowadays. The poems left by the Tang Dynasty are not inferior to the sum of other dynasties in Chinese history.
Although these young talents recite poems and compliments in public, they are suspected of showing off, but they are popular among ordinary people. If there are good sentences and good poems, the owner of the shop will take the initiative to avoid the money for wine, and ask his calligraphy to write the poems on the walls of the wine shop, and show them in front of others as the store’s unique collection, so as to attract more diners to come and watch.
As the wine went on, these young talents were already full of poetry. From time to time, there were good sentences from them, which attracted the audience and friends in the hall, and more diners flocked to the store.
The owner of the shop was flushed and happy. The money for this wine trip today was not unfair!
Just when the atmosphere in the store was in full swing, someone shouted loudly, "Look, another one came out of Xue's mansion!"
This call was like a gathering order. Whether it was a coarse cloth diner or a talented man in a brocade, they rushed to the fence of the tower or simply rushed to the winery, and looked at the gate of the "Xue Mansion" not far from the Zuixian Tower.
A graceful woman carried a burden and slowly walked out of the vermilion door.
The beauty is peerless.
When everyone saw the woman, they were shocked!
"Zhang Yaotiao!"
Among the young talents who had just recited poems and essays, one of them recognized her and couldn't help but scream. His eyes suddenly turned stiff and he swallowed a very insulting saliva.
"It's really Zhang Yaotiao!!"
A sound of marvel!
Zhang Yaotiao, a woman from Sichuan and Sichuan who was good at the country of Tianfu, was famous in Beijing and famous for her. In Chang'an City, the imperial capital was located, countless princes, nobles and dignitaries were fascinated by it, and she spared no money to make a smile. It is reported that the first thing Xu Sheng, the Tanhua Lang who cited the Ming Dynasty last year, after passing the imperial examination, was to go to Zhang Yaotiao's residence in person and invite her to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda together.
Anyone who has just passed away or his younger brothers will ask them to climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and write the name and leave a letter. Gradually, "Title of the Wild Goose Pagoda" has become a fashion that is popular among the students of the public. It is regarded as a great honor by scholars, and its meaning is equivalent to "a carp leaping on the dragon gate."
But Zhang Yaotiao refused Xu Tanhua's invitation because she entered Xue's mansion on that day in a three-flower carriage, and since then she served the Lantian Gongzi with a cup and cup in front of the bed and behind the bed until today.
It is said that Zhang Yaotiao only met Mr. Lantian in Chang'an by chance, so he redeemed himself and came uninvited to join the Xue Mansion as a concubine and maid, leaving countless admirers with resentful sighs.
"Oh, it's a pity that beauty has a poor life!" A scholar sighed and wrote on the wall of the wine shop, "The flowers in the yard are flying, and the swallows are talking with lust."
"Brother Du, I remember this sentence from Zhang Yaotiao's mouth!" Another scholar sighed.
"That's right." The scholar who wrote the inscription threw his pen and sighed, "Last year, Xiaosheng and Xu Langhua went to the capital for the exam. He had the chance to meet Zhang Yaotiao. I remember that she also gave instructions to Xiaosheng's poems at that time. Xiaosheng was very impressed by her good sentence!"
"Brother Du actually got Zhang Yaotiao's advice?" The scholar cafeteria around him all exclaimed in surprise.
Among the talented people of the Tang Dynasty, visiting prostitutes was a fashion; talking in public would not only not disgrace audio-visual, but also a symbol of fashion. The current "high-level" prostitutes are not only capable of being outstanding in appearance, but at least they must be proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But there are only one who can guide students' poems and essays like Zhang Yaotiao.
"What a pity, a famous nationally charming socialite like Zhang Yaotiao was also swept out by Mr. Lantian!" Someone among the diners sighed in pain, "It's really a crane burning piano!"
The scholars were tense and envious.
"Oh, this is the seventh of this month!" Someone sighed jealously, "The Pei girl who was swept out three days ago is even better than Zhang Yaotiao. It is said that her father was appointed as the sixth rank of the county and was a prominent family member of the Pei family in Hedong. The Pei girl was only 28 years old and was very beautiful. There were countless nobles who went to her family to propose marriage, but this Pei girl was willing to follow Mr. Lantian as a concubine!"
Amid the shock and envy of everyone, Zhang Yaotiao walked out of the gate of Xue Mansion, picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the courtyard wall of Xue Mansion-
"When the spring breeze falls, I can't bear the sorrow and hope to miss you more. I can buy the long door fu without gold, and I can sing the poems of fan lying in the air with hatred."
Then, Zhang Yaotiao climbed onto a carriage in tears and floated away.
Countless people wanted to stop Zhang Yaotiao's carriage, but no one went up to stop him.
Looking up in the capital, the princes and nobles who were willing to open the door for Zhang Yaotiao to welcome him are not included. Even if Zhang Yaotiao is just an abandoned wife of Prince Lantian, they are not able to stop him or support him.
...
The name of the young master is not a casual call from the Tang Dynasty. It is only worthy of such a "respective title" if it is a young man from a prominent family or a descendant of the prime minister and prince family.
Prince Lantian, whose surname is Xue, his name is Shao, and his courtesy name is Chengyu. He was young and was born in the Hedong Xue family. His father Xue Guan married Princess Chengyang, the legitimate daughter of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Xue Shao was born in the blood of the wealthy Xue family and the Li family. In the era when the Tang Dynasty paid the most attention to bloodline and family background, Xue Shao was a first-class noble and famous prince of Tianhuang, and was an out-of-reach grandson-in-law who could be chosen for many families.
Even so, it's fine.
After all, in a place like the pass where high-ranking officials are everywhere, there are quite a few noble men like Xue Shao. However, Xue Shao also had a handsome appearance that was fascinating women and was not worth their lives. In addition, he was very romantic in the entertainment venue, and his talent was full of money and spent money like earth. He almost interpreted the various standards of Tang women for "Dream Lover" to the extreme, and became the supreme "male god" in the minds of countless women.
Especially in the Lantian County area where Xue Shao lives now, whether it is the girl next door who is waiting for his name or the wife who is already a wife, he is full of hearts when he hears Xue Shao's name. There is also a saying, "If you don't see Xue Shao for your whole life, you should be regretful for your life."
In the mansion of the young master Lantian, in addition to the common "talk and laughter, there are great scholars and no white men" in the noble family, there are also endless music and moon. The singing and dancing singers in his family are all very skilled. He changed his beloved concubine like a lantern around him, but no woman could occupy his place in the main room.
In the Tang Dynasty, the four words "Lantian Gongzi" have almost become synonymous with "romantic".
However, recently, many "Zhang Yaotiao" have been swept out by Mr. Lantian. A few days ago, the Xue Mansion posted a notice, asking martial artists from all over the country to come to the mansion to perform. If you have outstanding skills, you can stay in the mansion to appoint or hire a teacher to Mr. Xue, and the treatment is generous.
The Tang Dynasty worshipped martial arts, and the nobles' children bent their horses and bows, and practiced martial arts with swords. It is not surprising that the people and villagers in Lantian County are just envious of the beauties who were swept out by him, and the saliva flowed all over the floor.
At this moment today, Xue Shao, the young master of Lantian, who is always indulging in the mood, sat upright under the corridor of the polo court with a big golden sword, watching a martial artist's fist fight.
Both martial artists have ancestral martial arts skills and are well-known far and wide. Today, they worked very hard when they entered the Xue Mansion and used their unique skills.
Xue Shao looked at it quietly, neither applauding nor defaming. On the face of the male god who was fascinated by a woman, there was an occasional cold look that never appeared before.
"Send rewards and send guests away." Xue Shao threw out a heavy and heavy sentence, and the two martial artists retreated dejectedly.
Two more martial artists with long sticks came up to practice, and they worked harder than the previous few. After practicing for a while, they beat the opponent very hard, obviously they showed their real skills.
Xue Shao shook his head, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Yuenu, please pick a few more real martial artists. I don't want to see such a swaggering liar in the world again."
After saying that, Xue Shao got up and left.
"Yes, young master." Yue Nu Yingnu. She is the only female maid who is still young and older than Aunt Huofang, who is now by the side of Xue Shao, the young master of Lantian.
"A scammer?" Two martial artists who performed hard so hard that their noses and faces were a little angry. "I have been practicing martial arts for more than thirty years since I was a child. In all the counties in the countryside, I have never met any rivals. Is it too ignorant to be so humble to others?"
"Thirty years?" Yue Nu sang softly and walked to the two martial artists who were about forty years old, indifferent and with a hint of coldness and charm, as if he had been practicing for thousands of years and had seen all the world.
The two martial artists looked at the beautiful woman about 18 years old in front of them, and they felt a little dazed and blushed.
The personal maid who can serve the young master Lantian side will never be in poor appearance, not to mention that she stayed in the end and was not swept out. In front of her, the little woman named "Yuenu" not only had a beautiful face that could make more than 90% of the men's hearts palpitations and fascinate, but also had an extremely tall figure and plump plump beauty. Looking at her face, she seemed to have a bit of the wild heroic spirit of a Hu woman and the exquisite and graceful manner of a Han woman. She gave birth to a pair of beautiful deep eyes, most of whom were a woman with mixed blood.
Her outfit is not like the common robe and skirt, golden hairpin, jade ring among wealthy women, but a simple and ironable pure white narrow-sleeved stand-up collar robe. She is tied with a wide-edged black gold pattern on her waist. Her peaks are stunningly tall and down the slope, but her lower abdomen is unusually flat, and her body curves are graceful. Her hair is simply pulled up with a wooden hairpin, with a plain face facing the sky.
"You two are not convinced?" Yue Nu stood with her hands cut and her voice was very calm.
"Yes, I'm not convinced!" The two martial artists whispered loudly, "Young Master Xue clearly doesn't understand martial arts, but he wants to blame us for not being good at learning skills!"
"Within three moves, if you can stand up and not fall, Yuenu promises you to stay. Mr. Xue treats him with respect." Yuenu raised his hand lightly and pointed at the gate, "Or, leave quickly!"
"..." The two martial artists were stunned at first, and then angry!
"Let's take action!"
In the middle of two moves of lightning, two martial artists collapsed to the ground. One of them had a broken left arm, and the long stick in his hand was kicked out like a phantom under the hem of Yuenu Hu's dress, and it was split into two pieces.
The two martial artists looked up at the little beauty who looked like a flower and jade, with their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Yuenu's expression was still as calm as water, and his eyes were cold and tight when he looked at them. A touch of coldness appeared on his beautiful face. The coldness of a beautiful woman who should not belong to her, said one word—
"please!"
The two martial artists got up in a hurry and ran away without saying a word.
Now they seemed to understand why Xue Shao was left with this maid named Yuenu!
