Chapter 185: Oiran Contest
If you talk about the Warring States period, which is the largest ethnic minority in the north. Many people will definitely say that it is the Xiongnu, but in fact, there was a very powerful tribe in the north during the Warring States period...... That's Donghu!
Donghu is called Donghu because it lives in the east of the Xiongnu. In the Warring States period, it was a very powerful force. It is mainly entrenched in the area of the Laoha River and the Xilamulun River in the Liaohe River Basin in the northeast, and the Donghu people are the same as the Huns. He started riding sheep at the age of three and horseback at the age of five.
If the Huns are the wolves on the grassland, then the Donghu people are the Haidongqing on the grassland. The Donghu people entrenched in the northeast were extremely fierce, and even the Huns gave them three points. Its leader, Horchi, fought valiantly and attacked the northern border of the Yan Kingdom several times. In particular, the large-scale invasion in the fifth year of Yan Wangxi annihilated and captured more than 80,000 Yan troops in one fell swoop. The population of cattle and sheep was plundered by 100,000, and the Yan State had to build the Great Wall to prevent the Donghu people.
Yan went from a powerful country that once almost captured the Qi realm to the weakest belly of the Warring States. The invasion of Donghu was a major reason. For the Yan Kingdom, Donghu was an even more formidable opponent than Great Qin.
Murong Xing is the second son of Murong Tuoba, the head of Donghu, and this time he came to Lü Buwei for help on his father's orders because a batch of Donghu's horses were detained by Pingliang's Li Si.
The prosperity of the Pingliang livestock market was already quite famous in the north, and when Murong Tuoba heard about it, he sent a caravan to Pingliang to trade. It's only to blame that he entrusted the non-people, the chief steward he appointed, relying on the prestige of Murong Tuoba on weekdays, is used to running rampant in the Donghu tribe. When he arrived in Pingliang, he dared not to pay Yunhou's tax. And that's not all, the grumpy guy also whipped the tax collector in public.
This matter is a big problem, and Li Si, who suffered a loss, immediately found Wei Fang. As a result, the steward was beaten to death and imprisoned, and the horses and money in the caravan were confiscated. The Donghu people who fled back reported to Murong Tuoba, and Murong Tuoba was furious. was ready to raise troops to fight against this Yunhou, who did not know the height of the sky, but at this time, the news of Yun Yue's defeat of the Western army came.
Coupled with the Huns who had a good relationship near the Donghu tribe, as soon as they heard that Murong Tuoba was going to war with Pingliang. Hurriedly ran to dissuade, although the ethnic groups were different. But they are all friendly tribes that have intermarried for generations, and they will never let the Donghu people repeat the mistakes of the Huns.
I heard that Pingliang is so powerful, and because of the internal instability, the few tribes that have just surrendered are all ready to move. And this is not only a long way to go to Pingliang, but also to pass through the Xiongnu steppe. Not all the Huns lived in harmony with the Donghu people, and the Zuo Dadu Lieutenant Department had several confrontations with Murong Tuoba because of the grassland problem. The two sides have won and lost each other, if they go to his territory now. Maybe it will cause misunderstanding among the Huns, don't fight with the Huns before Pingliang arrives. It's really not worth it for the sake of a few horses.
Murong Tuoba suddenly remembered an old friend...... Lü Buwei.
I think that when Lü Buwei was still a businessman, he once came to the north to sell horses. He had a good relationship with Murong Tuoba in his prime, and now his old friend is the Great Qin Xiangbang. The incident happened in Qin State, so it was natural to ask an old friend for help. How did he know that Lu Buwei couldn't say a word in front of Yun Yue. In this matter, he can only hand it over to the housekeeper below to dredge.
It has been seven or eight days since Murong Xing came to Xianyang, but he has been waiting or waiting. At first, I could see Lü Buwei a few times, but later on, I couldn't even see Lü Buwei. What I see every day, in addition to being in charge of things, is still in charge. This made Murong Xing depressed, and he could only pass the time with wine every day.
"Prince Murong, what's the point of hiding in this mansion every day. Lord Xiangbang instructed the little one to take good care of His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you take His Royal Highness the Prince on a tour of Xianyang City? The steward Lu Wang smiled like a big cat waking up, with a chubby body and a round face, which made people feel happy at a glance, and it seemed that the unhappiness of these days had also been reduced a lot.
It's not that Murong Xing doesn't want to visit Xianyang City, but Xianyang is too big. He went shopping once on the day he first came to Xianyang, but it happened that his tongue was sick that day. Because of the language barrier, not only did he almost clash with the Qin people several times, but he also got lost. No matter how much you look for it, you can't find it, you want to ask for directions and you run into old problems, and you don't understand the language. In the end, the Prime Minister sent people out to look for him, and only then did he find Murong Xing, who was restless and surrounded by a group of Qin people, through Xianyang Ling Yin.
Since then, Murong Xing has never dared to go out of the mansion again. It was a nightmare experience for a dignified prince to be visited like an animal in front of so many people.
Listening to the translation of the tongue man's sentences, Murong Xing's heart also came alive. When I started to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I would look curiously everywhere, and I would get tired of watching it for seven or eight days. Although the life of the Huaxia people is luxurious, it is always not as comfortable as the grassland.
"Okay, just follow him out for a spin. You also followed around this Xianyang City, and I heard that there is a good place called Qinglou, let him take us for a walk. "Murong Xing heard from the stewards that Pingliang Qinglou, since Pingliang has it, Xianyang will definitely have it.
"Qinglou! Okay, okay, no problem, no problem. Coincidentally, today the hairpin building held an Oiran conference. The handsome Oiran in Xianyang City will come to attend the meeting, and His Royal Highness the Prince is really lucky. Lu Wang smiled more earnestly, the kind of smile that all men know.
"Good, good! Go to the Green House! Listening to the tongue man's translation, Murong Xing immediately smiled, and the word Qinglou was still said in Huaxia. Attracted a burst of applause from the people! Under the leadership of Lu Wang, a group of Donghu people followed Lu Wang out of Xiangbang Mansion and went to the most famous hairpin building in Xianyang.
"Miss, miss. The Donghu people left, and the slaves and maids inquired clearly. Lu Wang took them to the hairpin building! Ling'er jumped into Lu Jiao'er's room, excited like a swallow.
"Humph! Men are all such stinky virtues, and it is not in vain that Miss Ben spent all her efforts to make a banquet of flowers. What's going on with the Yun family, did the people who bought it send letters to those girls? Lu Jiaoer was also very excited when she heard this.
"The news came back this morning, and that group of little sluts really like to watch the excitement. When I heard that there was an Oiran contest, I had to go and see the excitement. The daughter's family actually went to the Qinglou, and I don't know who was unlucky to marry them in the future. Ling'er said with a very good eye on the side.
"Is it arranged over there in the Qinglou? No, you go and watch Miss Daimoto. When I come back, I'll tell Miss Ben about it too. Go, go, go! Lu Jiaoer hated that she was still grounded, so she could only ask Ling'er to give her a live broadcast.
"Whoa!" Ling'er, who was also suffocating in the mansion, immediately responded, took the token and got out of Lu Jiao'er's yard.
Several little ladies of the Yun family were particularly excited today, and yesterday they overheard two servants talking about the selection of Oiran in the hairpin building. I heard that it is also the first Oiran Contest in Xianyang City, and not only the Oiran of Xianyang will come to compete. And there are also various entertainment programs, and I heard that the famous singing and dancing girls from the Chu State also came to join. The seats in the hairpin building are fully booked, and this has not yet been opened. The proprietress of the hairpin building has already counted the silver coins and has cramps.
The ladies are going to see the Oiran Contest, and Pang's eyes are about to fall. A little girl went to the kiln to see the kiln sister? It's weird to think about! What made him feel even more unbelievable was that when he went to report to Yun Yue, Yun Yue actually said that he would go if he liked it. When he went out, Xiao Pang's eyes had already fallen to the ground.
Miss Yun wants to watch the Oiran Competition, how can there be no box? Xiao Pang Niu X went to the extreme to let the proprietress of the hairpin building run to Yunfu, claiming that as long as she was a quarter of an hour late, she would not sell the seafood of the hairpin building for a month.
Poor old Baozi, waist circumference is similar to height. I was stunned and ran all the way to Yunfu, and I heard that the Yun family wanted a box for tomorrow night. immediately slapped Wei'an's chest "pop" and "pop", and promised Xiao Pang that he was out of tune. If you don't have a private room, you can cut off the fat on her body and use it to refine oil. Xiao Pang looked at the fat body, and there was a little bit of excitement.
Lao Baozi left the Yun family sweating like rain, and she didn't dare to offend many people in Xianyang City. But this household is the least to be offended. The Yun family's seafood, as well as steamed wine, are a must-order commodity for every guest who comes to the hairpin. Manxianyang City, sold by his family. If you offend this chief steward, you will be detained for two months and will not be supplied. Hairpin building is still a fart!
The sun had just set, and the little girls couldn't wait. While urging the steward to set up the carriage, he walked outside with a chatter. But when I got to the side of the carriage, I saw a little sister-in-law with a frosty face. The little girls immediately bowed their heads, if there was anyone in the Yunfu who they were afraid of, I am afraid it was this little sister-in-law who knew martial arts. Without him! I can't beat it!
The wide four-wheeled carriage drove on the wide gallop road in Xianyang, and it looked a little bumpy after the wheel collided with the stone slab. Now the little girls know how good the flat cool road paved with black oil is. There is a cushion between the wheels and the road, and the carriage does not feel bumpy at all.
When the ladies of the Yun family go out, they naturally have to have pomp. This time it's not a sneak out to play, but an open view of the Oiran Conference. When I arrived at the hairpin building, Xiao Pang learned that today it was not only the Yun family that had a daughter come to see the Oiran Conference. Many young ladies took this opportunity to sneak out of the back house to watch this rare event. Most of the adults in the family also opened their eyes and closed their eyes, which can be seen in the openness of Daqin's atmosphere.
The Oiran conference has not yet begun, and there are already clusters of cars and horses in front of the hairpin building. Lao Baozi greeted all kinds of nobles at the door, and she naturally didn't know the ladies. But the stewards knew her a lot, and when they saw Xiao Pang coming, they immediately left the steward in soap. rolled in front of Xiao Pang like a ball, "Oops! Steward Pang, you are really shining in this hairpin building! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, is the private room arranged? If the ladies are not satisfied, you give Lao Tzu a try. ”
"Oh, my Pang is in charge, I don't dare not give it to anyone. Tianzi No. 1, the best box. If there is a mistake, take the fat of the slave family and boil the oil to ......" (to be continued.) )
