Chapter 1249: Slave

For all slave women, being able to be delisted is almost the beginning of a new life for them.

But it is not easy to be expelled from the country, especially slavery, which can only be offset by military merit.

There are two kinds of slaves, one is an ordinary slave, that is, there is no skill, called a worker slave, responsible for mining, building roads, building cities, transporting and other physical work, lifelong slavery can not be removed, children are also slaves, called slave sons, all height reaches five feet two inches (one meter two) will begin to serve hard labor.

There are also some skilled craftsmen and slaves, called subordinate concubines, men called subordinate ministers, and women called subordinate concubines.

The status of the subordinate is slightly higher than that of the slaves, and the "Law of Equal Labor" stipulates that these people can be treated as craftsmen, and do not need to be slaves as coolies, and the skills can also be passed on to their children, but it is not easy to be expelled from the country.

As for the concubines, that is, skilled women, it is almost impossible to be expelled from the country, generally they are spinning and knitting or singing and dancing, and they are all used as the weavers of the Shaofu Weaving Department or the official prostitutes of the Yuefu, which can be sold, but cannot be removed.

Therefore, in the Qin state, there is a saying that you are a slave for one day and a slave for life.

The laws of Daqin are strict, especially for the assessment of military merits is very harsh, each level of military merit is almost exchanged for life, no fool is willing to use military merit to redeem himself for a cheap slave who can only sing, dance, play the piano and laugh, the prince and the prince are even more unwilling, Quyuan is just a cheap slave, no matter how good-looking it is, for powerful people, beautiful women are everywhere in the world, and you can buy a lot of slave girls back for a little money, and there are also official prostitutes who are specially trained and sold in the aristocratic market, As long as you have the money to afford it, you can buy it.

But this Lin Xian'er is a little different, as his name suggests, not only does he look like a fairy, but also poetry, song, dance, lyrics, and music are all fine, and he is definitely the best among the excellent ones, so since the first round of the Oiran Contest has been shown, it has caused heated discussions in various circles such as Xianyang folk and princes and princesses, and there are countless people who covet its beauty, and there are even more people who like its pipa song and dance.

But whether it is coveting her beauty or liking her music, singing and dancing, no one in Xianyang's princes, princes, rich businessmen or wealthy businessmen have taken it for themselves.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, and I'm waiting to wait and see.

This Oiran contest appeared very suddenly and strangely, it seems that some of the Quyuan soon promoted the promotion of the big fanfare, the bus company and even the Xianyang Metropolis Daily have helped to build momentum, according to the news it seems to be some of the Quyuan spontaneous organization, but this competition with a strong unique style, but many people are suspicious.

If it's not a blind guess, a very clear shadow can be seen behind the scenes of this Oiran competition.

Although the organizers are silent.

But many people are silent and don't dare to be too public, and they all want to know that there must be another reason for this competition to improve the level of entertainment in Xianyang.

Today, Qinghe Hou finally appeared at the competition site to declare the right to host, and the big man behind the Oiran finally surfaced.

And Lin Xian'er, who was so touching in front of her that no one could become a guest on her couch, even if all the princes and princes were salivating, she could only secretly swallow saliva to dispel her unrealistic thoughts at this time.

Fighting for a woman with the Marquis of Qinghe, I am afraid that Mo will be lame on the spot.

Zhao Hai didn't dare, and other princes and princes didn't dare, as for Meng Yi...... Well, dare is dare, but this woman obviously has the bait effect of making Zhao Hai take the bait, she comes from outside Xianyang, interprets trendy dance music, and is so beautiful, no matter from which point of view, it should be the bait arranged by Chen Xu, just waiting for Zhao Hai to take the bait.

Therefore, in the face of the overall situation of Daqin's safety and the rise and fall of the family, Meng Yi would never touch this woman.

"The Marquis of Qinghe is so benevolent and righteous, the slave has nothing to repay, and he dares to invite the Hou Ye to go to Cuiyunxuan for a gathering, and the slave is also good to serve the water and serve the tea to express his gratitude!" Lin Xian'er saluted, with a hint of expectation on her delicate face, and her words were also evocative.

"Goo Dong~" someone couldn't help but slide the Adam's apple screen to turn on drooling mode.

"Zuo Xiang doesn't need to hesitate, since Miss Xian'er has invited, you just have to go and listen to the songs, and I'll wait for Dr. Chengcheng Hou Meng to go to the banquet!" A marquis in a brocade robe smiled and spoke.

"Exactly, I know that Zuo Xiang doesn't like to have dinner with me and other old people, so it doesn't matter if Zuo Xiang doesn't go today, it's best to let the fairy girl accompany me, and it's not too late for me to wait for a dinner banquet in a few days!" The other marquis also smiled and nodded.

Zhao Hai was a little reluctant, now that Chen Xu had said that he had won the championship in half with him, he had coveted this Lin Xian'er for a long time, and he had noticed it almost from the first round of the promotion competition, so he had already planned to enter Chunfangyuan, if Chen Xu was invited to serve tea and pour water in advance to listen to the dance and music, I was afraid that there would be news tomorrow, and this Lin Xian'er would already belong to Chen Xu.

At present, many of the old famous singers of Xianyang's Quyuan are famous, and it is not easy to get their hands on it, even if he is a relative of the emperor, there is no doubt that there are one or several powerful princes and princes behind many big old Quyuan in Xianyang, and he does not have much financial resources and enough ability to get his hands on it.

But there is still a great possibility that Lin Xian'er will get it if she fights for it, and when the time comes, it will inevitably attract countless dignitaries and nobles to play in Chunfangyuan, and some things will naturally be secretly colluded and arranged.

However, just when Zhao Hai was trying to find a way to pull Chen Xu's hind legs and stir up the beautiful matter of Huang, Chen Xu refused himself.

"Miss Xian'er doesn't need to be like this, Ben Hou has made other arrangements today, don't use the thank you gift, Ben Hou will come again in the next game to cheer up, you go first!"

"Yes, Master Hou, the slave retires!" was rejected by Chen Xu, and Lin Xian'er didn't dare to ask again, so she could only salute with two maids and leave with the middle-aged man in extreme disappointment, and couldn't help but look back at Chen Xu after walking to the side of the carriage, but found that Chen Xu had already laughed and talked with a group of princes and princesses, and each got on the car and left together.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but urge, and Lin Xian'er reluctantly got into the car, and then the carriage started and went to the east of the city

Most of the people living in the east of the city are the first six kings and grandsons of the nobles who migrated over, the most strictly managed and the most deserted on weekdays, a large area of uniform brick and stone mansions with uniform specifications are inhabited by the first six countries of the kings and grandsons of the nobles, with the rapid economic development of Daqin and the increasing stability of society, although the management of this area in the east of the city is still relatively strict, but it is completely different from the situation when Yu Wuya assassinated Zhao Gao, the princes and grandsons who live here can now come and go freely, and the gathering of banquets is not prohibited, At most, if you go out of the city, you must come back on time with approval, otherwise you will be punished, once you escape, the whole family will be enslaved, and you will be wanted by the whole country, so the six kings and nobles who have been imprisoned here for so many years have honestly lived a very quiet life.

With the gradual relaxation of management in recent years, the area in the east of the city, which was originally regarded as a forbidden place by merchants and civilians, has also begun to slowly become vibrant, buses have long been opened, newspaper kiosks, restaurants, commercial houses, song gardens, restaurants, and many miscellaneous food stalls have also sprung up, so the six kings and nobles also have a greater space for entertainment activities, and the east of the city has become increasingly lively and prosperous.

Lin Xian'er's carriage entered a courtyard after turning around on the criss-crossing streets, the courtyard is not large, covering an area of about ten acres, and the houses and ponds in it are complete, and it looks like a standard residence of the six kings and grandsons, but the plaque hanging on the lintel reads Cuiyunxuan three small seals and big characters.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard, Lin Xian'er got off with the support of the two maids, and then followed the middle-aged man into the backyard in the center.

Led by a man with a steward's badge, Wanwan also walked into the backyard.

"The slave has seen the lady!" Lin Xian'er, who had just rested, hurriedly came out to greet her.

"No courtesy, speak in the inner hall!" Wanwan's face was slightly anxious, and after raising her hand slightly, she walked into the inner hall and sat down, and the steward hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea and leave Lin Xian'er behind.

"What is the situation today, what did you say to Master Hou?" Wanwan didn't have time to drink tea, so she asked directly.

The Oiran competition has been relatively smooth since it began, and Qinghe Theater has rehearsals and performances every day, Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng both went to be judges, and Wanwan stayed in Qinghe Theater most of the time.

In terms of identity and status, Wanwan is much stronger than Shi Xuan, a nerd who is obsessed with music and rhythm, and naturally guessed that Chen Xu may have had other changes in doing this, but he was worried that Lin Xian'er would rashly find out the relationship with her without knowing the inside story, so that this matter might go wrong, so that Zhao Hai could see that the flaws had damaged the big thing of the Hou Ye.

Lin Xian'er didn't dare to hide it, so she carefully performed on stage, and a monkey suddenly jumped out and tore the hem of her skirt, and then Qinghehou came to the stage to relieve the siege and finally rewarded her with perfume and soap.

"Madam, the slave has never deceived in the slightest, and has not revealed the relationship with Madame!" Lin Xian'er seemed to guess Wanwan's worries, and finally hurriedly explained.

"That's good, I don't know about Hou Ye's arrangement, so don't reveal anything you say, since you already know that this Oiran competition is arranged by Hou Ye, you must already know that the master behind this Cuiyun Xuan is Hou Ye, so as long as you do things well, you won't have any problems if you want to get rid of slavery, I was the help of Hou Ye to have today's status, you are proficient in poetry, song and dance, music, and instrumental instruments, and your body and appearance are far better than me, almost the entire Xianyang Quyuan world can not find a better person than you, Coupled with our secret operation, we will inevitably win the top three leaders at that time, and then we may be arranged to enter the Chunfang Garden of the Hou, and I don't know the risk after that, you can only bear it yourself, I will make it clear to you today, you have to consider it yourself, whether you do it or not, you must not reveal any relationship between you, me, and the Hou Ye, otherwise you will lose your life......"

"Madame, don't worry, slave knows!" Lin Xian'er stood in front of Wanwan and nodded nervously.

"Hou Ye arranged for me to spend a lot of money to invite you from Luoyang, as long as your affairs are done to the satisfaction of Hou Ye, then money and status are at your fingertips, even if you want to find a good husband to enjoy the rest of your life from now on, it is also easy, but I advise you not to have any wrong thoughts about Hou Ye......"

"Slaves don't dare to ......" Lin Xian'er knelt on the ground with a frightened puff, her face pale without any blood.

"You get up, I'm just reminding you not to do things that don't match your identity, I have inquired about your identity, it is the authentic Ludi Lin family, the great-great-grandson of the Lin family, the concubine of the king of Zhou, the great-grandson of the Lin family, the king of Zhuangxiang destroyed the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Lin family was returned to slavery, you were sold to slave merchants because you were young, and then learned to sing and dance in the Qu Garden, because you like to imitate the song of the Hou Ye to make some dance music, and you are also famous in Luoyang......"

"In the future, I will not personally appear to contact you again, I will arrange for others to inform you if there is something, as for the new repertoire you need, I will also arrange for someone to send it, since you admire the Hou Ye so much, I can only help you so much, this place is quiet, not as prosperous and noisy as the south and west of the city, occasionally come to some of the kings and nobles of the former six countries, you can accompany the snake with you, and you don't need to be too careful, maybe there is news that the Hou Ye rewarded you today, these people dare not act rashly, everything you arrange carefully, Whether the future is good or bad is in your thoughts, remember to remember ......" Wanwan stood up after speaking, and left in a hurry without drinking a sip of tea.
