Chapter 489: Blossoming Sword Flowers

()

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "The Yang family is just a businessman, although there is some status in Hangzhou, but I have always valued agriculture and light business, and the status of businessmen is not high, so there should be no rights. Iron Maiden plays the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can sing songs. I'm afraid that it will cost a lot of money to settle in the teaching workshop, not to mention the identity of the girl, without the approval of the Ministry of Etiquette, the girl can't leave the teaching workshop at all and get rid of the slave status.

Speaking of this, Yang Zheng glanced at the other party and continued: "Looking at the girl's identity is higher than those black-clothed people, I think she has already got rid of her slave status, and the teacher is learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, in addition to being able to sing small songs, the girl also has a good martial arts, isn't this very revealing, the Yang family is a businessman, I'm afraid I don't have this ability, if I guess well, the girl should be doing things for a person with more status, yes, this person should be a person with a very unusual identity, Otherwise, he would not dare to get rid of the slavery of a child of a criminal in the imperial court and get it out of the sect! So the girl said that she was from the Yang family, wouldn't she be deceiving herself? ”

Tie Xiaodie looked at Yang Zheng in disbelief, as if she didn't expect the other party to be able to see through her identity, and was secretly surprised, and said in her heart: "This person is really powerful, no wonder the little prince, the Yang family has been defeated by him many times!" β€œ

"Hmph, even if you guess it, you're going to die?" Iron Fluttershy gritted her teeth and snorted.

"yes, I don't think so, right?" The corners of Yang Zheng's mouth curled, revealing a wicked smile.

"yes, I'd like to see what else you're capable of?" Iron Fluttershy raised the Pak knife in her hand and sneered.

The knife was like a rainbow, dazzling, Yang Zheng could almost feel the chill brought by the blade cutting through the night sky, which made him nervous, and said in his heart: "Really kill people?" ”

"Don't hurt my father-in-lawβ€”?" A coquettish voice shouted, followed by a white shadow flashing, the long sword in his hand brushed, shook in the silent night sky, holding a sword flower, the sword flower shone, just like a white lotus, in such a night sky, it looks extremely good.

"Finally here, come and eat some more, your husband will be killed by this mother-in-law?" Yang Zheng shouted at Bai Ying with a voice in his voice, with a faint joy in his tone.

The white figure doesn't say a word, and the long sword in his hand pulls out a sword flower and stabs at Iron Fluttershy.

As if she hadn't seen the sword flower behind her, Tie Xiaodie's raised hands slashed down and slashed at Yang Zheng's chest.

"Your grandfather, how ruthless is you?" Yang Zheng scolded, feeling the sharp knife momentum and couldn't help but close his eyes.

At this moment, Yang Zheng felt a cold wind blowing in front of him, which made his face cold, followed by a faint fragrance from his nose, and he took two sips gently, and instantly drove away the tiredness of his body, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for months, you are getting more and more fragrant?" Yang Zheng took a few puffs hard and said with a smile.

"Hate-?" A familiar voice came out, and Shen Yanqiu stood in front of her with a smile, without even looking at the long sword in her hand, and met the opponent's sharp sword.

The sword technique suddenly changed, and it became extremely fast.

She is fast, and the long sword in Shen Yanqiu's hand is not slow, and when she hears it properly, there is a pleasant sound, and I don't know when, the momentum of the long sword is a little faster than the other party.

Tie Xiaodie, who was holding the knife, frowned, and the hands that held the knife became quicker, and the knife was extremely fierce for a moment. Shen Yanqiu's good-looking eyes seemed to be unseen, her wrist flipped, the long sword shook like a snake, flipped endlessly, and in the sword fight, the long sword was always a few points faster than the Pu knife, the strength was also a little greater, and the momentum was a little faster.

After a few moves, the long knife that was terrifying in Yang Zheng's opinion, under the rapid attack of the long sword, involuntarily trembled a few times, and it seemed that the long sword had stabbed the snow-white wrist, and finally the opponent's martial arts were not weak, and he slashed the offensive.

The night is dark and the night breeze is blowing.

Tie Xiaodie bit her red lips, her white arms danced rapidly, and a Pu knife shone with dazzling knife light, at this moment, Tie Xiaodie drank lightly, her arms danced faster, and the chilling Pu knife was even better, like the tide of the Qiantang River.

"Hmph, good knife skills?" Shen Yanqiu smiled lightly, a pair of good-looking eyes were like a lake of autumn water in this dark night, extremely bright.

"Oh my god, how did I forget, these two women who love to fight met together, so it didn't turn the world upside down?" Yang Zheng on the ground sighed secretly, a little helpless, but also a little expectant, I don't know who won.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Are you alright?" A gentle voice came slowly, with a little shyness.

"Hehe, there was something going on, but when I saw Sister Yue'er, it was fine, don't you say it's strange?" Yang Zheng said with a smile.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Naturally, it was Xiaoyue who spoke, and when she heard this, she glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still so flamboyant?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "Is there one? ”

Xiao Yue glanced at him, didn't bother to pay attention to him, just walked over and helped him up.

Yang Zheng lost all his strength, and when his body was supported, he inevitably leaned most of his body on Xiaoyue's body, thinking that this girl was going to scold, but who knew that his face was red and he didn't say anything, which made him feel a little surprised.

"What do you see, do I have flowers on my face?" Xiao Yue couldn't stand his gaze and scolded softly.

"If you want me to say that there are flowers, they are ten times more beautiful than flowers, no, a hundred times!" As he spoke, Yang Zheng's body moved into the other party's arms.

Xiao Yue didn't know what she thought, her pretty face was red, her eyes were like autumn water, she glanced at him, and asked with a smile: "Then who do you say is better looking, me or my sister?" β€œ

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, coughed twice and said, "This, this-?" ”

"Who's better-looking?" Xiao Yue stared at him and didn't let go.

This girl is very shy on weekdays, and she refuses to say more to herself, why did she ask such a sensitive question today, and said with a smile: "Is this, this, all good-looking?" β€œ

"Humph!" Xiao Yue didn't seem to be very satisfied with this answer, snorted coldly, and then glanced at him with great resentment, which made him very embarrassed.

While the two were talking, the fight between Shen Yanqiu and Tie Xiaodie became more and more accumulated, both of them were martial arts masters, and the sword light and sword shadow were not so good that you came and went, at this time, Tie Xiaodie's knife was smashed, and the arms holding the knife sank hard, and the Pu knife in his hand slashed out a shock, unstoppable.

"Dang!"

With a crisp sound, Shen Yanqiu seemed to be unable to resist the other party's struggling sword momentum, her body trembled, and as soon as the long sword in her hand intersected with the opponent's Pu knife, a powerful momentum was suppressed, and then the whole person seemed to be surrounded by the powerful knife momentum that the other party swayed, as if she was a little careless, Shen Yanqiu was about to be engulfed by the domineering sword light.

"Missβ€”?"

"Sisterβ€”?"

Yang Zheng and Xiaoyue shouted at the same time, their eyes were full of worry, the white sword light became more and more abundant, illuminating the night around them in an instant, Tie Xiaodie's face was pale, her teeth were biting her red lips, and her dark eyes were staring at Shen Yanqiu who was surrounded by the sword light.

"When! While! While! β€œ

Three crisp sounds of blades intersecting in a row, in the shadow of the powerful sword light, hearing a shout, Yang Zheng saw that Tie Xiaodie's body trembled, and the Pu knife in his hand was lightly touched by Shen Yanqiu's long sword, and the whole person seemed to have been hit by some kind of heavy blow, and then he was about to fall, and the aggressive sword light just now also dimmed a lot, replaced by a sword mang, several lotus flowers turned into countless sword lights and burst out, hitting Tie Xiaodie's blade with a clanging sound, in such a silent night, listen to it in your ears, it is very pleasant.

Tie Xiaodie's face became more and more pale, and her delicate body trembled violently, but she struggled to support it, and then the Pu knife in her hand turned around and slashed hard, Shen Yanqiu just lightly tapped the blade on the other party's blade, and the Pu knife in Tie Xiaodie's hand was forced by a powerful force, and was suppressed by Shen Yanqiu's blade.

"Shen Protector is really powerful!" Iron Fluttershy snorted, flicked her wrist, and the sword fluttered out from under the other man's blade.

Shen Yanqiu was dressed in white, with a long sword in her hand, and the blade was shining, reflecting on her face, as if covered with a faint halo, which was indescribably beautiful in Yang Zheng's eyes.

"It turns out that my sister is so good-looking when she kills people?" Yang Zheng chirped twice.

Xiaoyue said: "Of course, my sister has been a famous beauty in the sect since she was a child, and I don't know how many sectarians in the sect were fascinated by it in the past, but it's a pity that my sister can't look down on any of them, but it's cheap for you, speaking of which, I'm still not worth it for my sister?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, you damn girl?" Shen Yanqiu's face was slightly red, she glanced at Yang Zheng quickly, and saw that he was not angry, and she was immediately relieved.

"My day, is the master very bad?" Yang Zheng was very annoyed, glared at Xiao Yue angrily and said: "Sister, naturally she is unparalleled in beauty, the first in the world in martial arts, not to mention the Maitreya Sect in the past, look at the whole of Hangzhou, no, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, my sister is also a rare beauty, and it is natural to be admired!" β€œ

Shen Yaqiu heard her lover praise her beauty, and suddenly her eyes bent, revealing a smile, looking very proud.

"Hmph, you have vision!" Satsuki snorted.

"My sister is good, but my brother and I are not bad, brother, I am a son of the Yang family who combines wisdom and beauty, speaking of which, have you ever seen someone who is even better looking than me?" Yang Zheng said unashamedly.

Xiao Yue sneered and said, "Is there still such a person in this world, why haven't I seen it?" β€œ

Yang Zheng scolded angrily: "Dead girl, pretend to be confused, right? β€œ

Satsuki giggled, looking very proud.

Yang Zheng glanced at her hatefully, rolled his eyes and said: "Speaking of which, Sister Yue'er is also very good, she is beautiful, and she has a good martial arts, and there are many people who admire her in the sect, right?" β€œ

Note: Jiaofang Division: It was established in the Tang Dynasty. During the martial arts, there was an inner teaching workshop according to Xi Yale, which was used for temple worship and feasting. In the second year of Kaiyuan, Xuanzong was outside the Taichang Temple, and placed the inner teaching workshop on the side of Penglai Palace, and the left and right teaching workshops were outside the palace, and they were in charge of excellent acrobatics. The two Song Dynasty, Jin, Western Xia and other dynasties inherited the Tang system, and all set up teaching departments and slightly changed their functions. The music system of the Yuan Dynasty was mainly inherited from the old system of the Western Xia and Jin, but also the music system of other ethnic groups, and its music institutions were more complex than those of previous dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the ceremonial music and dance institutions were all simplified, and only the Taichang Temple and the Jiaofang Division were under the jurisdiction of the two divisions. Volume 34 of the "Manuscript of the Ministry of Rites" contains the article "The Teaching Workshop Division Undertakes Music and Dance", "The court banquet and other ceremonies have their own commitments, and the music and dance are listed by the Ancestral Department of the Teaching Workshop". The Bell and Drum Division was established in the early Ming Dynasty, and was one of the 24 yamen of the eunuchs, all of whom were filled by the temple people, who were in charge of the inner court sacrificial music, feasting and more leakage, and the bells and drums of the early dynasty. "History of the Ming Dynasty" volume 74 years, "Bell and Drum Division, a member of the eunuch with palm prints, a secretary, a secretary, and a scholar and art official have no fixed members, in charge of the bells and drums of the dynasty, and internal music, legends, brocade, rice and other miscellaneous plays." It can be regarded as an ancient Chinese court music institution. It was once renamed "Yunshao Mansion". In the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were also teaching workshops; In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiaofang was changed to the Jiaofang Division, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of music, dance and opera. In the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng changed the Department of Teaching to the Harmony Department.

The music system began in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Book of Wei. Punishment Chronicles": "There is a strict system: all robbers and murderers are beheaded, and their wives are of the same nationality, and they are worthy of being happy households; He does not kill people, and he is dirty less than five horses, the head is beheaded, the servant dies, and his wife is also a happy household. The Ming Dynasty followed the traditional practice, and the wife and daughter of the offender entered the workshop, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, "imprisoned the grandwife and daughter of the minister of the enemy country, and did not have a tooth with the people", and it has continued since then.

In ancient China, officials and prostitutes were originally two kinds of people with disparities in social status, and their lives did not intersect, but in history, the relationship between these two kinds of people was the closest. Official prostitutes are specially set up for the imperial court, and there are women who are recruited by large families after raiding their homes, and there are also prostitutes who have been trained since childhood. Official prostitutes are not only beautiful, all official prostitutes will poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting for the needs of civil officials. In ancient China, there was no shortage of literary and artistic works produced by these people, and many ancient celebrities also found inspiration from official courtesans to create many literary masterpieces. Many dynasties have stipulated that court officials cannot enter the private green building, but can only recruit official prostitutes, and Su Dongpo and others often go in and out of official prostitute places. According to legend, there is an official prostitute who is also running around for Su Dongpo's "Wutai Poetry Case". In short, most of the officials in ancient China were literati, and literati have always been noble people, and only the corresponding prostitutes can meet the needs of their status. In ancient times, it was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and in addition to recruiting some women, most of them did not spend money on a profitable business. There are also those who are sent to the sect division to capture the wives and daughters of the defeated during the war, or the civilian women who have been forcibly taken and taken captive during the war. It's also cost-free.

Originally, it was the first of the six ceremonial departments, and it was dedicated to playing music during ceremonies or greeting VIPs. It has a large number of musicians and a variety of instruments that have been passed down through the generations. Not wanting to keep a group of prostitutes among them is a great irony of etiquette. "Yuan History: Sacrificial Chronicles" records that in the seventh year of Kublai Khan's reign, the crown prince and the officials welcomed the Buddha to the imperial city, among which there were 150 prostitutes dressed up in the sect and the department. It can be seen that there are a large number of prostitutes in the Church Division. It is precisely because of the long-term nurturing in the classroom environment, in the education of music teachers, and with the accompaniment of a variety of musical instruments, these prostitutes are proficient in music, can play the piano, pipa, etc., and can sing and dance, which is different from ordinary prostitutes.

It is worth mentioning that most of the actresses of Yuanqu are from the Jiaofang Division, and they are good friends with gentlemen and gentlemen. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Tao Zongyi's "Dropout Record" recorded:

"The courtesan is a good time, surnamed Guo, with smart sexuality, superb color and art, and white eyebrows in the workshop. The Hanlin bachelor Wang Yuan was very fond of him. (Vol. XIX)

This Shun Shi Xiu can sing Yuefu poems. In the same book, it is also written:

"When Mr. Yu Shao'an gathered in Hanyuan, the banquet scattered the bachelor's house, the song was in line with the show, singing today's Yuefu, and its laurel order began with the sentence 'Boshan copper, fine spring breeze', one sentence and two rhymes, the name is called a short column, it is very difficult to do, and Mr. loves its novelty." (Volume 4)

"Ge'er bead curtain show, surnamed Zhu, has a beautiful appearance, and the miscellaneous drama is unique today. Hu Zishan proclaimed that he loved it very much. (Vol. 20)

"Lian Zhixiu, an official prostitute of the Jingshi Teaching Workshop, surnamed Sun, is more than 40 years old. …… Occasionally, I go to Songjiang and love its beautiful scenery,...... Due to the lack of fundraising...... It is said that the first teaching workshop of the Beijing Division, which occupies the pomp and circumstance, has made thousands of people applaud. …… As soon as he jumped, he left the circle in the hundred opera sheds. (Vol. XII)

The natural show is the song of Songjiang Prefecture. The hook fence shed crushed many people, and Tianshengxiu did not die.

"Dropout Record" also remembers that it is said that it is a grand event in the music book, and after leaving the country, there are Li Cui'e, Wang Qiaoer, and Wang Lianlian.

And these courtesans, as acrobatic actors, have established a deep friendship with the Yuanqu writers. Such as Guan Hanqing and Zhu Curtain Show, Bai Renfu and Natural Show, etc. Zhang Guobin is the assistant of Xi Shifeng, the head of the teaching workshop (see Zhong Sicheng's "Record Ghost Book").

The Ming Dynasty Jiaofang was very similar to the Yuefu in the Tang Dynasty, but it was very different in terms of concurrently operating β–‘ business, and the official prostitutes in the early Ming Dynasty were not actually under the management of the Jiaofang Division. Liu Chen's "Deeds at the Beginning of the Kingdom" recorded: "β–‘ established the Fuller Academy, and ordered the ceremonial room Wang Di to take charge. This person is familiar with music and rhythm, and he can make music. Civil and military officials and people are forbidden to enter the hospital, and only businessmen are allowed to enter and leave the hospital. It was not until the 19th year of Yongle that the Fuller House was set on fire and burned, and the 16th floor was reopened to house official prostitutes, and the management of official prostitutes was moved back to the Department of Teaching Workshops (Xu Zifang, "Theater and Its Evolution in the Early Ming Dynasty"). It can be seen from this that the Jiaofang Division in the early years of Yongle was still relatively simple, and it should be just the organ in charge of the court in charge of ceremonial music plus singing and acting, undertaking various banquet performances, similar to today's Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. In addition, there is a legal provision prohibiting the admission of "civil and military officials" to hospitals. It can be seen that it was so terrible in the later period, until Zhu Dijing succeeded, because Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Tie Xuan and others, and the torture of the factory guards, which greatly increased the number of prostitutes in the teaching workshop, such as one in "Allusions to the National Dynasty": "Lixian Zhailu". The book reads: "Tie Xuan's wife, Yang's Chinese New Year's Eve five, sent to the teaching workshop; Lao's wife, Zhang, was fifty-six years old, and sent to the teaching workshop division, and Zhang's passed away. Jiaofang Si Anzheng played in Fengtianmen: According to the holy decree, Shangyuan County was carried out of the door, and the dog ate it, and Qin this. ”

Also, "Nanjing Judicial Records": "In December of the second year of Yongle, the title of the teaching workshop: Zhuo Jingnu, Yang Nuniu, and Jing Liu were unlicensed, and according to the example of Xie Sheng's wife Han, they were sent to Hong Guogong to be transferred to the camp for rape and sleep. On the 11th day of the first month of the 11th year of Yongle, the Jiaofang Division played at the door of Youshun: Qi Tai woman and niece and daughter-in-law and Huang Zicheng sister four women guarded by more than 20 men every day and night, the young ones were pregnant, in addition to giving birth to a child as a little turtle, and there were three-year-old women, playing the holy decree, and obeying him, not to grow up to be a lewd and cheap child. Again, Huang Zicheng's wife gave birth to a small house, and now he is ten years old, and he is also Fengqin. "It can be seen that joining the Workshop Division is not an ordinary prostitute, and it is not easy to get out of the country.

The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was developed on the basis of the household registration system of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very detailed, dividing the people into categories such as civilian, military, and artisans, each with its own household registration, and it was not allowed to be confused.

As "Zhao Sihu's Thousands of Miles of Legacy Su Xiaojuan's Poem Zhengguo" said: "It is the most difficult thing for a famous prostitute to settle down, and the government is afraid that there is a shortage of people to accept, and the boss has been angry in the past, and there are many inconveniences, but nine out of ten are unwilling." Therefore, some critics follow the good and say: 'Mu "Zhou Nan" is the transformation, this is good; The group of empty Hebei North, please do not allow. Unless the prostitute in question has a great affection for the official in charge, or is lucky, and bumps into someone who is willing to help him vigorously, there is hope that his long-cherished wish will be fulfilled. The prostitutes of the Department of Education should be registered, not just a matter of silver, "History of the Ming Dynasty and Records of Career Officials". "Zhi No. 50 - Career Officer III" Teaching Division. One person in Fengluan, one person on the left and one on the right Shao dance, one person on the left and one on the right side of the musician, and from the nine pins of palm music and dance. Fill it with pleasure and subordinate to the Ministry of Rites. In Jiajing, there is also a Xianling Shrine for the Sect Division, and there is one left and one right Si Le. "Zhi 51 - Career Official IV" (Nanjing) Rite Department. There is one Shangshu, one right waiter, and one secretary. Rituals, ancestral sacrifices, hosts and guests, and fine meals, each Lang Zhong...... It can be seen that I still need a paperwork, I wrote here that Tie Xiaodie got out of her naturalization, just because of Zhu Zhantan's help, and according to Zhu Zhantan's identity, I spent a lot of money to get her out of her lowly status, so it's not a mistake, please understand!

Okay, don't talk nonsense, there's a more below, it will come late, please support a lot, in addition, at the end of the month, the monthly ticket war has been going on for a day, everyone is very hard, and now it has slipped to the last place, can you keep it, but also depends on your support, please send your monthly pass, one vote counts as two votes!
