"Captain, do you know who she is? Listening to the tone, it seems to be Tang Zhen's sister. Zhang Han looked back as he walked.

Chen Mu turned his head slightly: "I don't know." However, I heard that Tang Zhen has a younger sister, that is, Tang Qiong's youngest daughter. I think she's a little spoiled, and it's not her. Her name seems to be ......, oh, I remember, it's called Tang Zhen. ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the square gate and came to the street, opposite the east city of the imperial city, and the gate that opened to the east was called Xuanren Gate. It is said that it is the place where the prince lives, and now there is no prince, the inside is empty, there are forbidden soldiers standing guard at the door, and eunuchs regularly clean up the dust.

The east city of the imperial city, and the imperial city is actually separated by a city wall, the prince can not enter the palace directly, you need to report first, with the consent of the emperor or the queen mother and queen, before you can go around the left gate to enter.

Looking up at the palace gate, the vermilion wall is golden tiles, endless luxury. It's a pity that you can't go in and see what it's like in the palace.

"Where is the liveliest place in Luoyang." Chen Mu asked.

Zhang Han said: "North and South cities. There are many materials in the south city and they are cheap, and most of the people living in the north city are rich people, so the materials are fine and expensive. ”

"Let's go, let's go to North City. Make you a set of clothes. ”

"Hey, then let's go to Nanshi."

"Why?"

"It's cheap over there." Zhang Han scratched his head.

Chen Mu patted Zhang Han on the shoulder and walked towards Beishi.

Before he could enter the North Market, he was shocked by the carriage shuttling at the door, and the traffic was just like that. But there are not many tourists, they are all busy with work. Listening to a pair of sisters passing by chatting, there is a big bustle on the Luohe River today. Chen Mu also wanted to go and see, but he promised Zhang Han to buy clothes, how could he not believe his words.

"Zhang Han, I'll give you money, you go buy it yourself, I heard that Luoshui is lively, I'll go over there and have a look." Chen Mu was generous, grabbed a side of the silver and handed it to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han smiled bitterly: "Let you go by yourself, how can it be good." ”

"What's wrong, you don't have to look for me after making clothes, just go back to the inn."

"Whoa."

Chen Mu walked towards Luoshui.

This Luoyang City is really interesting, there is a river crossing the city from east to west, the two ends of the river are blocked with iron ties, guarded by rows of heavy crossbows, and the oil pipeline is suspended in the air, if you want to kill from here, it is better to climb the ladder to attack the city wall.

Walk two squares to the south from the north city, and then turn one square to the west, and you will come to Pingkangfang, and the south gate of Pingkangfang is facing Luoshui.

Today seems to be a festival, there are crowds of people on both sides of Luoshui, and the boat boats on the river are docked in rows.

There are a lot of young girls on the street, looking at the clothes, you can know that they are Qinglou women, they are walking around the street, as if looking for something, suddenly a girl came over, took Chen Mu's hand and said, "Childe, are you a showman?" ”

"Xiusheng? What is Xiusheng? ”

"Childe, you are a foreigner, in Luoyang, every year Xiaoman draft students, mango seed selection of Oiran, Dragon Boat Festival student meeting, this is the most lively thing in Luoyang City."

"Oh, it turns out that Xiusheng is a male pet, I don't participate."

"No, no, no, the son misunderstood, Xiusheng are all good people, and there are even noble sons, you see, the people of the Ximen family are here this year."

"The Simon family? The Simon family, one of the three major gate valves? Don't make a fuss, how can the gate valve boy come here? ”

"There are a lot of gate valve sons, and not all of them are big shots."

There is also truth to that.

Inside the gate valve, the son with a ranking is the son who is serious, and a son like Tang Hong is not ranked at all. Not to mention the sons of uncles for generations, who have even been reduced to small servants. It's not surprising that they came out to participate in such events.

Chen Mu raised his head and looked, not to mention, there were really a lot of sons and brothers who participated in the Xiusheng beauty pageant, and they were all dignified and well-dressed. It seems that they are here to prepare for the draft.

"Childe, are you going or not?"

"What's in it for you if I go?"

"There are many benefits, if Childe comes out on top, Childe can redeem me for free. Even the slave tax was given by Meisen-in. However, Childe wears the flower balls of Meisenin Temple when he ascends the crown. ”

"Oh, you're the maid of the Misen-in Temple."

"Hmm."

"Will the lady of Wanhualou also come out to pull Xiusheng?"

"Hmph, of course." As soon as she heard Wanhualou, the girl's face suddenly looked bad, and she thought that Chen Mu might have a good relationship in Wanhualou. But think about it, something is wrong, this son doesn't even know about the draft students, it shouldn't be there, so she fought for it again. But Chen Mu didn't plan to be a beauty pageant. So he politely refused. Seeing that the girl was unhappy, Chen Mu took out some change for her, and she thanked her and left.

Further along, Chen Mu didn't plan to leave, because there were many pavilion girls in front of him, all looking for Xiusheng.

If you walk past this skin, you will inevitably be in trouble.

Take a detour and take the east side.

Just walked to the east.

"Oops! Whose son is this! ”

"You're so handsome, hehe."

"Alas! Don't go, Childe. ”

A group of pavilion girls just walked out of the east gate, presumably the girls of Caiyun Pavilion.

Chen Mu ran away.

Chen Mu thought about it, since the girls of the pavilion had come out of Pingkangfang, then the workshop was empty, so Chen Mu wanted to go through the north gate, through Pingkangfang, directly from the south gate to the edge of Luoshui, squeezed into the crowd, and no one would disturb him.

Came to the north gate, smiled, and strode in.

The Pingkang Fang was really empty, and Chen Mu smiled again.

But when he passed by Sanhui Alley, the ladies of Wanhualou came out.

"Oops! Son! ”

Chen Mu was about to run, but suddenly felt that maybe he didn't need to run, so he stopped and said, "I'm already a Xiusheng of Meixian Academy." ”

"What? Are you a Xiusheng from Meisenin? ”

"Then we can't let him go!"

"yes, snatch him!"

Chen Mu was shocked and ran away.

A group of young girls are chasing after them, and they may just think it's funny. And that kind of free redemption opportunity, they don't have a lot of hope. After all, there is only one champion Xiusheng every year, and only one girl will get such a God-given opportunity, and it seems that the appearance of these girls is not particularly good, and seedlings like Hanxiang will never be released.

Chen Mu ran to the south gate with a smile, followed by a large group of pavilion girls with flowers and branches, their long skirts fluttering, and the ribbons fluttering, like a group of butterflies.

Chen Mu hid in the crowd, and the hall girls didn't rush over, they scattered in all directions to find Xiusheng.

In fact, Xiusheng is not particularly difficult to find, because every year there will be some men who think they are good-looking, standing by the river in full clothes, waiting for the pavilion girl to come to him. But in general, there are still more pavilion girls and fewer show students. Some of the pavilion girls who couldn't find Xiusheng looked a little anxious.

Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief and looked at the people around him, they all came to see the excitement, men, women, the elderly and children.

In ancient times, entertainment was scarce, especially for the poor, and everything was new.

And the annual Xiusheng Festival, Oiran Festival, and Shengkui Festival, as long as you have leisure, you naturally refuse to miss it.

Jin Wuwei, who maintained law and order, dispatched a lot to both sides of the Liluo River.

According to passers-by, similar festivals existed in the Tang Dynasty, but they were not as prosperous as the Liang Dynasty, and the three festivals of beauties were held every year to consume a huge amount.

In fact, Chen Mu felt that the three major brothels were in joint marketing and formed a brand monopoly.

The people can't see through this, but think that the three major brothels are accumulating virtue.

However, Chen Mu feels that he can't be too objective, otherwise he will be a little impersonal and unconscientious.

Looking at things, there is a scale in the heart, and it is fair to measure left and right, since it can bring happiness to the people, of course, it should also be regarded as a kind of accumulation.

This statement is not wrong.

Chen Mu stood in the crowd, looking at the excitement with joy.

The first batch of Xiusheng appeared.

The boat carrying Xiusheng sailed out from under the Xinzhong Bridge, and flower petals began to be thrown on the bridge, and people began to whistle and coax, and Xiusheng saluted both sides of the river. Suddenly, the ancient music was loud, the drums were rumbling, the suona was screaming, and the people were boiling and cheering.

The boat sailed to the East Buddha Bridge, on which sat several majestic old bustards, they had a case in front of them, and there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case, as if they wanted to score Xiusheng.

Chen Mu found it interesting and watched it with relish, and sometimes coaxed along.

Suddenly, a hand pinched Chen Mu's ear, and a woman's voice sounded behind him: "You are too bold!" ”

The voice is not loud, but it is extremely harsh.

As soon as I heard the voice, I felt that this person was not simple.

Chen Mu turned his head and looked back.
