Chapter 180: The Show Begins
"Ashina Xian!" Ji Wen's heart moved when he heard this name, and he asked suspiciously: "Brother Tai's surname is Ashina, could it be that he is from the Turkic Khan line?" ”
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. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNowadays, the Ashina clan has gradually 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!" ”
Ashina waved his hand: "This brother is serious, the Ashina family is already yesterday's yellow flower, don't mention it." ”
After saying that, Ashina Xian turned his head impatiently and looked at the group of courtesans, as if looking for something.
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 guzheng, pipa, dulcimer, ocarina, xun, and flute.
Zhang Bao'er took advantage of Ashina's dedication and asked Ji Wen in a low voice: "Brother Ji, who is the Khan of Xingxi and the Death of the Ancients, is he very famous?" ”
"Of course!" Ji Wen said: "In that year, the war between Emperor Taizong and the Western Turks ended, the Western Turk Khan Ashina Helu was captured, and the Western Turks perished. The Tang Dynasty set up the Protectorate of the Western Turks in the hometown of the Western Turks, and still followed the historical tradition of the division of the Western Turks, with the right wing of the Wunu Yabi Department to set up the Mengchi Protectorate, and the left chamber of the Wulu tribe to set up the Kunling Protectorate, and appointed the former Western Turkic nobles who had descended to the Tang Dynasty, the fifth grandson of the Murdian Mi Khan, Ashina Mi, as the Kunling Protector, and gave the title of the former Khan of the Dead and ruled the Wulu Division. 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. Later, Ashina Yuanqing was falsely murdered by the cool official Lai Junchen, and I heard that his only son was also exiled to Yazhou, presumably this Ashina Xian, but I don't know when he returned to Chang'an from exile! ”
"Oh!" Only then did Zhang Baoer know that this Ashina Xian was still a character with a background.
The musical instrument sounded, and in the accompaniment of the women, Qiu Lian began to dance.
"Zhang Gongzi, you have to look carefully!" Ji Wen introduced to Zhang Bao'er: "This is Qiu Lian's best "Green Waist Dance", except in the Drunken Spring Pavilion, you can't see it anywhere else!" ”
Zhang Baoer 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 no longer expecting a kiss, all they cared about now was that fun.
Seeing that Ashina Xian was still looking around nostalgically, Zhang Baoer smiled and quipped: "Brother Ashina, it seems that you, like Brother Ji, also made a special trip to Qiulian?" ”
Ashina Xian shook his head: "I'm not here to see Qiu Lian!" ”
Didn't you come to see Qiu Lian? Zhang Bao'er felt strange and was about to ask, but she heard someone suddenly shouting loudly on the table near the courtesan: "Okay! Good! Good! Master Shen has a reward! ”
A thing 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, listening to the deep voice, I was afraid that there were dozens of taels, and the people at the table around Zhang Baoer screamed loudly.
Zhang Bao'er followed everyone's eyes to the table where the silver was thrown, and saw a short and chubby middle-aged fat man with a smile on his face, dressed in an embroidered man's robe, and a fist-sized Hanyu on his hat, which seemed to make his body shorter.
Ji Wen whispered: "Zhang Gongzi, you have come to the right place today, and you will have a good show to watch soon!" ”
"What's right?" Zhang Baoer 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!" Zhang Baoer said with a smile.
Zhang Baoer has really heard of Shen Fuqi.
Cen Shaobai wants to open a money bank, and Zhang Baoer naturally has a general understanding of Chang'an's money bank. Most of the large and small money banks in Chang'an City are the semicolons of Dulongchang Money Village and Taifeng Money Village, and although a few of them are not semicolons, they also have to rely on these two money banks to survive.
Shenfu, the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, Zhang Baoer has only heard of it, and it is the first time I have seen it today.
"Even if he is the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, how can he have a good show?" Zhang Baoer still didn't understand.
"Zhang Gongzi, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" Ji Wen didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said bluntly: "On the surface, Shen Fu is the owner of Longchang Qianzhuang, but in fact, it is Princess Taiping who really controls Longchang Qianzhuang. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Wen pointed to another table not far from Shen Fu and said to Zhang Bao'er: "You see, Lu Yu, the owner of Taifeng Qianzhuang, is also here today. He, like Shin Fu, is just a person in the foreground, and the person behind the scenes is Princess An Le! ”
Zhang Bao'er looked in the direction of Ji Wen's finger, Lu Yu was picking up the tea bowl and sipping it gently, his appearance was so delicate that he was dusty, which made people forget the vulgar at first sight, and it was even more rare to show his hands with that calmness, that kind of freedom, and he only felt radiant between pitches.
Zhang Baoer secretly said in her heart: It turns out that Lu Yu is such a heroic young man.
Longchang Money Village has been a time-honored brand in Chang'an for more than 20 years, and for so many years, Princess Taiping has been standing, and Longchang has continuously provided her with a large amount of silver money, which is also one of the important reasons.
After Ruizong Li Xian ascended the throne, Princess Anle gained power and became the first princess of the Tang Dynasty. Princess Anle has always had a soft spot for accumulating money, and she naturally will not let go of the source of wealth, so Taifeng Qianzhuang was born.
Although Taifeng Qianzhuang was established late, but with the help of Princess Anle, it is also thriving, only a few years later, it has a 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-for-tat confrontation between Shen Fu and Lu Yu.
Ji Wen said meaningfully: "On weekdays, these girls only give a few taels of silver when they appear, but Shen Fu is so rewarded, of course it is for Lu Yu 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? (To be continued.) )
