Chapter 258: The Way to Live

Crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder.

The grand event in the Western Regions has simply become a carnival for the people of Chang'an City, not to mention that the merchants of the Western Regions are extremely fanatical, and the entire Western Market has been mobilized, so many people have poured into the Western Market, which is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity.

Merton walked through the lively streets of the West Market, feeling the frenzied commercial atmosphere, and Merton felt like he was coming to the afterlife.

Chang'an City is worthy of being an international metropolis, there are nearly 10,000 Hu people who often settle in Xishi, at this moment on the streets of Xishi, many red-haired and blue-eyed Hu businessmen come and go, and the citizens of Chang'an City look for their eyes to see no wonder.

On both sides of the street, all kinds of folk juggling are staged one after another, which is simply a little more lively than the temple fairs in later generations.

"Little brother, when I first arrived in the capital, I was exhausted, and I had no choice but to come out to perform, please cheer more."

A gong sounded, a middle-aged man, shouted violently, and the sword light was everywhere, and the surrounding people suddenly cheered.

"Swallow the sword!"

"Eighteen backflips."

"The mouth breathes fire,

Step barefoot on a steel knife

Walking on stilts, juggling, puppet shows, and the common juggling in later films and television have been presented, Merton has gone all the way, watching these most primitive performances, this era does not have so many props in later generations, many of them are real kung fu.

The people of Chang'an City are also very supportive, and when they meet those they like, they also donate generously.

"Let's go, the performances of the major Oiran in Chang'an City are about to begin." A group of citizens rushed forward.

"Then hurry up, I want to see the sword dance of the Gongsun girl." Many people next to him couldn't wait to run forward when they heard this.

Gongsun Yue can be said to be the most famous Oiran in Chang'an City, how many people admire it but can't see it, this time Gongsun Yue's public performance is naturally in the spotlight, plus the other 12 Oiran who are famous and famous, it is naturally not to be missed.

All of a sudden,

The crowd flocked to the center of the West, and it was the opening performance of the Western Regions Gala, and Merton, who was still walking unhurriedly through the streets, looked particularly maverick.

"Brother Mo, don't you want to go and see it, that's the most famous Oiran in Chang'an City." Li Chengqian's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"It turned out to be Brother Gao Ming!" Merton hurriedly turned around.

"Of course Marquis Mo doesn't need to watch it, the most famous Oiran in Chang'an City has been redeemed by him, so naturally he can watch it when he wants." Beside Li Chengqian, Li Li, who was dressed in men's clothes, said sourly.

"The princess misunderstood." Merton had no choice but to explain again.

Li Lizhi's face was suddenly full of Haoran, and she said embarrassedly: "Lord Mo is kind, but I misunderstood." ”

Merton waved his hand and said: "The princess is polite, Mo also has his own selfishness, and he can use this incident to remind the world to pay attention to this group of hard-working women." ”

Li Lizhi suddenly said: "The method of Mo Houye's endorsement is to find another way for the Qinglou woman.

Merton nodded and said, "Actually, since the last time I went to the sect's workshop, I have had some vague doubts in my heart, and I have always been stuck in my throat.

Confucianism preaches that the father is the son and the wife is the husband, but it happens that the father buys the daughter and the husband sells the wife, so that many women fall into the sea of misery, is this reasonable?

Slavery has been abolished for thousands of years, and the deed of sale comparable to slavery is still in place in Datang, is this legal? ”

Murton's words suddenly made everyone silent, Confucianism is the most orthodox thought, and the three outlines and five constants are the core, but the existence of Qinglou is indeed the biggest fatal flaw in Confucian theory, and the ethical basis for the incident of fathers selling daughters and husbands selling wives comes from the three outlines and five constants.

The rise of Legalism began with the abolition of slavery, and the deed of sale of the Qinglou is simply like a copy of slavery.

Li Lizhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said sadly: "These women are really hard-working people. ”

Li Chengqian, who was heavily educated in Confucianism, couldn't help but twitch his face, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "Since Guan Xiang founded Nulu, this is not unique to the Tang Dynasty, and it has existed for thousands of years, only its reasonableness." ”

Merton shook his head and said: "Chang'an City is the best place in the Tang Dynasty, but there are a large number of women who are in dire straits, if it is forced by life to do it voluntarily, the Mo family has no words, I am afraid that the vast majority of them are sold here, or forced to become prostitutes!" Although the Mo family's move can only benefit a few people, at least the Mo family can do its part. ”

"Brother Mo is righteous, and the younger brother admires." Li Chengqian said with a solemn face. Merton's words today deeply touched him, and made him suddenly wake up a little, Confucianism, maybe Confucianism is not as good as it preaches.

Li Lizhi on the side also had flashing eyes, and as a woman, she was even more touched.

For a while, everyone had no idea of going to watch the sword dance, so they wandered around the West Market.

Before you know it, the performance has ended, and many people are happily returning to the streets, each of them still unfinished and discussing.

"This time it's really worth the trip, the Oiran of Chang'an City really deserves its reputation."

"What are the twelve oirans, in my opinion, the sword dance of the Gongsun girl is a must in Chang'an City. It's much better than the other Oiran. ”

"It's my favorite sword dance of the grandson girl."

………………

The people of the West City talked a lot, but the most popular was Gongsun Yue's sword dance, and as for the performances of other Oiran, everyone only thought it was good-looking, but they didn't have the slightest impression.

"It's strange to say, I was fortunate to see the sword dance of the Gongsun girl, although I thought it was beautiful before, but it was far less shocking than today." A wealthy merchant passed in front of the three Mertons and said to his companion.

The companion also nodded again and again, deeply sympathetic.

Morton knew in his heart that of course, it was the Gongsun girl who regained her freedom and her understanding of sword dance to a higher level, which led to today's shocking performance.

Inside a pavilion in the west city center.

Twelve beautiful women surrounded Gongsun Yue with envy on their faces.

"Congratulations to my sister, from now on out of the sea of suffering." The woman in yellow led by us wept.

Among the many oirans, although they have not met each other, they have also heard of the name for a long time, and after the news that Gongsun Yue was ransomed by Mojia Village, it was like a thunderbolt, and it was spread in the major green buildings in Chang'an City.

Congliang is the greatest wish of the Qinglou woman in her life, but there are very few such lucky people, most of them are abandoned by the Qinglou after old age and decay, and finally live alone.

"Thank you sisters, I didn't expect it to be so sudden." Gongsun Yue said with emotion.

As a woman in the Qinglou, one is yearning for goodness, and the other is worried about the source of life after being good, after all, they will only entertain people with sex, and they don't have any life skills at all.

However, after Gongsun Yue was ransomed, there were no such worries, and she was directly invited by the Mo family to be the image spokesperson for Xie Qian's sorrows.

You must know that Xie Qianchou is the most expensive wine in Chang'an City, marketing the entire Tang Dynasty, it is conceivable that as its spokesperson, it must be extremely prominent, and he does not worry about his livelihood at all.

All the women have turned the topic to the endorsement, if Gongsun Yue's move can be successful in one fell swoop, it will be the biggest blessing for the Qinglou women in Chang'an City.

"Rest assured, for the sake of your sisters' future, Gongsun Yue will definitely complete the endorsement successfully." Gongsun Yue said firmly.

Once the endorsement of the product is successful, one can repay the great kindness of Mojia Village, and the other can create a new way for the Qinglou woman to live.
