Ashina is the surname of the Turkic Khan, which means pale wolf eyes, and the first Khan of the Ashina clan, Ili Khan, led the Turkic tribes to destroy Rouran and established the second northern nomadic khanate after the Xiongnu.

Today, the Ashina clan has declined.

"Exactly, I am the son of Ashina Yuanqing." Ashina nodded.

Ji Wen bowed his hand to Ashina and said: "It turns out that Brother Tai is the son of the Khan of the Rising Past, and he is disrespectful!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, and of course knows the rise and fall of the Khan.

In that year, the war between Taizong and the Western Turks ended, the Western Turk Khan Ashina Helu was captured, and the Western Turks perished. The Tang Dynasty set up a fetter capital protectorate in the Western Turkic homeland, and appointed the fifth grandson of the Mudian Mi Khan who had descended to the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Mishe, as the protector of Kunling, and gave him the title of Xing Xi Death Khan, who ruled the Wulu Army. After Ashinami shot and died, his son Ashina Yuanqing was canonized as General Zuo Yuxuanwei, Kunling Duhu, and Xingxi Death Khan, and ruled the five divisions of Dulu. Ashina Yuanqing was falsely murdered by the cool official Lai Junchen, and his only son was exiled to Yazhou, presumably this Ashina Xian, I don't know when he returned to Chang'an from the exile!

Ashina waved his hand: "This brother is serious, the Ashina family is already yesterday's yellow flower, don't mention it." ”

With that, Ashina turned his head impatiently and looked at the group of courtesans, as if he was looking for someone.

At this time, in the empty space of the other half of the hall, all the women have stood in turn, each holding a musical instrument, such as a zither, a pipa, a dulcimer, an ocarina, a xun, and a flute.

The musical instrument sounded, and in the accompaniment of the women, Qiu Lian began to dance.

"Master Lu, look carefully!" Ji Wen introduced to Lu Xiaoxian: "This is Qiu Lian's best "Green Waist Dance", except in the Drunken Spring Pavilion, you can't see it anywhere else!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and watched carefully.

When the autumn lotus first rises, the dance posture is soothing and full of changes, like a kingfisher, like a swimming dragon, and it is extremely light. Her sleeves fluttered, like snow lingering in the wind, and the low back was like a lotus flower breaking through the waves.

Towards the end, the rhythm changes from slow to fast, the ornament shakes, and the placket also floats up, as if riding the wind, chasing the frightened bird

Qiu Lian finally stopped slowly, her black eyes swept left and right, and she nodded slightly.

The audience cheered and applauded, these boring spectators were not expecting a kiss, but now they care about that kind of fun.

Seeing that Ashina Xian was still looking around nostalgically, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and quipped: "Big Brother Ashina, it seems that you, like Brother Ji, also came to Qiulian on a special trip?" ”

Ashina Xian shook his head: "I'm not here to see Qiu Lian!" ”

Didn't you come to see Qiu Lian? Lu Xiaoxian felt strange and was about to ask, but he heard someone suddenly shouting loudly on the table near the courtesan's side: "Okay! Good! Good! Master Shen has a reward! ”

Something was suddenly thrown at Qiu Lian's feet.

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at it, it was a large piece of silver cake, and the voice was deep, only afraid that there were dozens of taels, and the people at the surrounding tables suddenly shouted.

Lu Xiaoxian followed everyone's eyes to look at the table where the silver was thrown, a short and fat middle-aged fat man had a smile on his face, dressed in an embroidered robe, and his hat was decorated with a fist-sized piece of Hanyu, which seemed to make his body even shorter.

Ji Wen whispered: "Master Lu, you are here today, you will have a good show soon!" ”

"What's right?" Lu Xiaoxian was confused.

"Do you know who this Master Shen is?" Givan asked quietly.

"I don't know!"

"He is the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, Shenfu!"

"It turns out that he is Shinfu!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.

Lu Xiaoxian had heard of Shen Fuqi.

Cen Shaobai wants to open a money bank, so he naturally has to have a general understanding of Chang'an's money bank.

Most of the large and small money houses in Chang'an City are semicolons of Longchang Money Zhuang and Taifeng Money Villages, and although a few of them are not semicolons, they have to rely on these two money banks to survive.

Shenfu, the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, Lu Xiaoxian has only heard of it, and he will see him for the first time today.

"Even if he is the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, how can he have a good show?" Lu Xiaoxian was a little puzzled.

"Master Lu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" Ji Wen didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said straightforwardly, "On the surface, Shen Fu is the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, but in fact, it is Princess Taiping who really controls Qianzhuang. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Wen pointed to another table not far from Shen Fu and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Look, Xu Cheng, the owner of Taifeng Qianzhuang, is also here today. He, like Shin Fu, is just a person in the front desk, and the person behind the scenes is Princess Anle! ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked in the direction of Ji Wen's finger, Xu Chengzheng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently, his appearance was so delicate that he was dusty, which made people forget the vulgar at first sight.

Lu Xiaoxian secretly said in his heart: It turns out that Xu Cheng is such a heroic young man.

Longchang Money Village is a time-honored brand in Chang'an for more than 20 years, so many years, Princess Taiping has been standing, and Longchang has continuously provided her with a large amount of silver money, which is one of the important reasons.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, Princess Anle became the first princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Anle has a penchant for accumulating money, so she will naturally not let go of the source of wealth, so Taifeng Money Village was born.

Although Taifeng Qianzhuang was established late, it is thriving under the help of Princess Anle, and after only a few years of work, it has the tendency to overpower Longchang.

Of course, Princess Taiping was unwilling to let her inherent territory be touched by Princess Anle, so the war between her aunt and niece extended from the court to the business. In this situation, it is inevitable that there will be no incompatibility between Shen Fu and Xu Cheng, and-for-tat confrontation is inevitable.

Ji Wen said meaningfully: "On weekdays, these girls only give a few taels of silver when they appear, and Shen Fu is so rewarded, of course, it is for Xu Cheng to see!" At this moment, if any of the two of them shows weakness, they will lose face to the master behind them, isn't this going to be a good show? ”

Sure enough, someone at the nearby table whispered: "This surnamed Shen is also hateful, deliberately spoiling the scenery, and see how the shopkeeper Xu reacts." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xu Cheng baring his teeth and smiling silently, a little childish, reaching out and touching something from his arms and throwing it gently, but it happened to fall next to the piece of silver. Seeing that the thing fell next to the silver, the golden light flashed straight ahead, and it turned out to be a piece of gold, and the light covered the silver, and the limelight naturally covered the other party.

Looking at this scene, Ji Wen showed a complicated expression on his face, and smiled bitterly at Lu Xiaoxian: "Did you see it?" Qinglou is a paradise for the rich, and the rich can only be a spectator, Lu Gongzi, you should understand by now, what I just said, right? ”

Lu Xiaoxian is not as sour as Ji Wen, he didn't come to Drunken Spring Pavilion to have fun, and the fighting methods of Shen Fu and Xu Cheng seemed to him to be boring.

Lu Xiaoxian wanted to take out the portrait of Rouge and let Ji Wen identify it before leaving, but seeing Ji Wen's lonely expression, he had to hold it first.

Lu Xiaoxian took his eyes off Ji Wen and looked at Ashinaxian.

Ashinaxian's gaze was still on the group of courtesans, and he didn't pay attention to the matter between Shen Fu and Xu Cheng at all.

Ashinaxian's abnormal behavior made Lu Xiaoxian feel very strange.

At this moment, Shen Fu reached out and took off his hat, ripped off the piece of Hanyu, and threw it away with an expressionless face.

Everyone was already in a sensation, holding their breath and staring at the two of them.

Gold is worth a lot of money, but even if this piece of Hanyu is not a priceless thing, it is dozens of times more expensive than that piece of gold.

Seeing this scene, Ji Wen was no longer envious, but angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Such a vulgar person, but he can wrap his waist in thousands of dollars, thinking that I Ji Wen is talented and learning, but he can only be a small catcher, relying on a meager fortune to live a lifetime, God is unfair!" ”

Hearing Ji Wen complain like this, Lu Xiaoxian felt funny, so he raised his glass and persuaded: "Don't talk about this, Brother Ji, let's drink!" ”

"Master Lu, do you think I'm bragging?" Ji Wen thought that Lu Xiaoxian didn't believe him, so he was insulted and amplified his voice, "I, Ji Wen, became a knife and pen officer at the age of fourteen, and I won all the complaints I wrote for others. At the age of seventeen, he entered the county government and worked as a scrivener in the household and criminal room, and was proficient in summer taxes and autumn grains, military service, miscellaneous classes, etc., and was arrested in all matters such as solving cases, recording court affairs, writing cases, and managing prisons. Now, I have been working in the county government for ten years, not only have I not been reused, but I have been squeezed out and demoted to a catcher, do you say that God is unfair? ”

"Brother Ji, I don't mean to look down on you!" Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly explained.

Ji Wen was even more excited, and he still couldn't finish his words: "I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can speak Tibetan and Turkic languages, I can memorize the "Tang Law" backwards, and I have even read "Luo Weaving Sutra" ......"

Ashina Xian, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted Ji Wen and said viciously to Ji Wen: "Don't say anything about Luo Weaving Sutra in front of me, be careful that I beat you!" ”

"You ......" Gwen was stunned, then seemed to understand something, smiled and stopped talking.

Seeing that Ji Wen was silent, Ashina Xian did not embarrass him anymore, and turned his head to look at the courtesan.

The minds of everyone in the hall have turned to the fighting method between Xu Cheng and Shen Fu at this moment, how can anyone pay attention to Ji Wen's cynicism.

In the eyes of everyone, Xu Cheng finally fought back, he just waved his hand lightly, and the faint smile seemed to have a gloomy taste in the eyes of everyone.

With the sound of boots, a box was carried in, and it was carried straight to the courtesans, and then the lid of the box was opened, and everyone only felt that the golden light was dazzling in front of them, and the box was full of gold.

All of a sudden, all the people were stunned and stupid, and only the sound of heavy breathing was left in the garden, but it seemed to be surprisingly quiet, so much gold was placed in front of them, and how many people had seen it in their lives?

In this frighteningly quiet silence, Xu Cheng said softly: "I have rewarded Miss Qiulian!" ”

Shen Fu's face turned pale, he got up and glared at Xu Cheng angrily, as if he was going to swallow him alive.
