Liu Xin turned around and said with a smile: "Ying'er, it seems that it is time for me to leave the Spring Tower, and if there is a curfew in a while, I am afraid that I will meet the night patrol officer." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Luoyang belongs to the feet of the Son of Heaven, the security aspect has always been strict, after dark will be implemented curfew policy, except for the night patrol officials and important things, or people who have obtained permission to walk at night, the rest of the people can not walk in Luoyang City at will, otherwise they will be taken back to prison for a period of time if they are caught, or they will be killed directly on the street, in short, there is no place to reason.

Especially now the errand in charge of patrolling the night and curfew is Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, and Cao Cao has made a name for himself in the past few years, so even Yuan Shu, the son-in-law of a big family, does not dare to walk at will.

Of course, as Cao Cao's eldest brother, Liu Xin didn't want to make trouble for his third brother and destroy the reputation that Cao Cao had built up with great difficulty, so Liu Xin had to return to his compound before nightfall.

However, there is one thing that Liu Xin wants to complain about very much, Luoyang's official definition of the time of the curfew is not a certain hour, but stipulates that it belongs to the night after dark, so in Luoyang in winter, it is very early at night.

Lai Ying'er naturally knew about it, so Lai Ying'er also said knowingly: "Since this is the case, then let Xiao Yu'er take you away from the back door, now the main door may have been closed." ”

Because of the curfew, it is naturally impossible for Chunyi Lou to be the same as those restaurants in later generations, which can be open until midnight three watches, and Chunyi Lou is not an inn, so naturally it will not provide accommodation services, so generally the Chunyi Lou at this time has been closed.

Liu Xin had a brief chat with Lai Ying'er again, the point is that Liu Xin will be a little busy in the past two days, so he may not come to Chunyi Building again, if there is anything, Liu Xin will send Su Jia to Chunyi Lou to find Ying'er, and Lai Ying'er will also send Xiao Yu'er to the compound to find Liu Xin.

Of course, for the sake of insurance and to avoid someone impersonating, Liu Xin and Lai Ying'er also set up a code, which is naturally borrowed from the famous sentence - the king of heaven covers the tiger, and the river demon of Pagoda Town.

After that, Liu Xin also promised Lai Ying'er that he would come to Chunyi Tower to see Lai Ying'er again within three days, and would leave Luoyang within a month, so that Lai Ying'er should prepare in advance.

In the end, Liu Xin reluctantly said goodbye to Lai Ying'er, and then left the Chunyi Building from the back door under the leadership of Xiao Yu'er, so as not to be discovered by others when he walked through the main gate, causing unnecessary trouble.

The back door of the Spring House is very interesting, it is actually a small boat with a strong rope tied to the stern of the boat, which is fastened to a tree stump.

As long as a rope is untied, the boat will automatically advance two or three meters along the current, and about half of the hull will poke out of the range of the Chunyi Building, Liu Xin jumped off the boat directly, and then he can leave the Chunyi Building quietly from here.

Of course, before leaving, Liu Xin didn't forget to look back at Lai Ying'er's room, and happened to bump into Lai Ying'er lying on the 6 window, looking at herself on the second floor with affection.

When Lai Ying'er saw Liu Xin suddenly looking towards her, she closed the window with a red face, and Liu Xin could only smile lightly when she saw this situation.

Xiao Yu'er saw that Liu Xin suddenly laughed at her young lady's room for no reason, so she guessed that her family must be peeking at Liu Xin, and then remembered her young lady's good impression of Liu Xin, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

However, Liu Xin was also interested in this unique "back door", so he asked with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, the back door of your Spring Building is really unique." ”

Xiao Yu'er also smiled and nodded, and said seriously: "I think so too, Shopkeeper Jia used to be a boatman, and his ability to support the boat with one hand has not fallen until now, and along the river, there is a vegetable market, and Shopkeeper Jia will go to the vegetable market every day to purchase ingredients, and then use the boat to transport them back, which is also much more convenient." ”

"And the reason why a boat is used to make such a back door is also because for the sake of insurance, the shopkeeper Jia can quickly leave the Chunyi Building if there is an emergency, so he set up such a back door."

Liu Xin nodded, it seems that this Jia Wansan is a cautious person, he is so well prepared, and he has a lot of imagination, he can think of such an ingenious "back door".

However, Liu Xin looked at Xiao Yu'er with some suspicion, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Yu'er, with your small body, can you tow this boat back?" This will be Xiao Yu'er, you go and find Xiao Liuzi first. ”

Although the current of this river is stable and not turbulent, Liu Xin feels that with Xiao Yu'er's small arms and legs, there is probably no way to drag the boat back into the distance.

However, Xiao Yu'er shook her head and said to Liu Xin seriously: "No need, it's actually on the other side of the wall." There is a row of bamboo poles, and when the time comes, please trouble Liu Gongzi to use the bamboo poles to prop up the boat back, and then I can tie the rope tightly again. ”

Liu Xin nodded, and said to Xiao Yu'er: "That's very good, then I'll go first, Xiao Yu'er, you will say hello to your young lady for me later." ”

After Liu Xin finished speaking, he left the Chunyi Building from the boat.

Next door to the Spring Building is a quiet alley, and there are a lot of bamboo poles stacked on one side of the alley, Liu Xin picked up a bamboo pole casually, and pushed the boat back a lot.

After a while, Liu Xin heard two soft sounds on the wall on the other side of the Chunyi Building, Liu Xin estimated that Xiao Yu'er had re-tied the rope, so he let go of the bamboo pole, and sure enough, the boat did not row over again.

So, Liu Xin smiled slightly and walked outside the alley.

On the other side, Xiao Yu'er trotted all the way back to her young lady's room, knocked on the door twice, and didn't wait for Ying'er to respond, so she opened the door and went in directly.

As soon as Xiao Yu'er entered the door, she saw Ying'er drinking tea, but she seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't even react when Xiao Yu'er came in.

Xiao Yu'er smiled slightly, it seems that her young lady really likes that Liu Gongzi.

Xiao Yu'er's smile can be regarded as waking up Lai Ying'er, who looked at her maid with a smile on her face.

Lai Ying'er naturally knew that she missed Liu Xin and was seen by Xiao Yu'er, but in order to maintain her dignity as a young lady, Lai Ying'er couldn't help but put on a straight face and said coldly to Xiao Yu'er: "Xiao Yu'er, you are so bold today, who asked you to eavesdrop on my conversation with Liu Gongzi outside the door?" ”

Xiao Yu'er naturally knew her young lady's temper, so she followed Lai Ying'er's meaning, pretended to be pitiful, and said to Lai Ying'er: "Miss, this is all Xiao Yu'er's fault, she was confused by the ghost for a while, so she did such a thing, and please punish Miss." ”

As soon as Xiao Yu'er finished speaking, Lai Ying'er couldn't hold back her face and burst out laughing.

Xiao Yu'er also chuckled at this time, and couldn't help but say to Lai Ying'er: "Miss, it seems that you really like Liu Gongzi." ”

Xiao Yu'er is not an outsider, she is a good friend and sister of Lai Ying'er since she was a child, so Lai Ying'er didn't intend to hide anything, and nodded directly and said: "Of course, Liu Gongzi is not only noble and extraordinary, whether it is appearance or physique, he is one of the best existences, he is definitely the kind of dragon and phoenix among people, and Liu Gongzi's personality is also very good, in my conversation with Liu Gongzi, I can feel Liu Gongzi's sincerity, so of course I will like Liu Gongzi." ”

Xiao Yu'er also nodded, and said with a smile: "I think so too, just now I overheard the conversation between Miss and Liu Gongzi outside, and I also said that Liu Gongzi is very good to Miss You, you will definitely be happy in the future." ”

Lai Ying'er also nodded, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and she couldn't help but tease Xiao Yu'er and said: "Of course, but I don't know if Liu Gongzi will like Xiao Yu'er, you maid?" ”

In the ancient Chinese marriage system, when a large family marries a daughter, there will be maids who will follow their young lady to marry into the man's house, and these maids will be called Tongfang maids.

And these maids are generally the personal maids of their own young lady, so in fact, these maids are usually responsible for the bed.

However, the status of the maid is lower than that of the concubine, and only the maid who has gone through the relevant procedures can be called a concubine, and according to historical records, these procedures can be described as quite troublesome.

Because these procedures involve the issue of household registration, because the general maid belongs to the slave registration, so the master's family needs to be exempted from becoming an ordinary household registration, after all, the slave registration cannot be married with the ordinary household registration, after all, the household registration is not a joke, such a marriage with unequal household registration will not only not be protected by the law of the Han Dynasty, but even a violation of the law.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty was relatively simple in this regard, and in the later Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was even more troublesome in this regard, so few people would go through these procedures.

The maid is similar to the man's concubine in some aspects, but even if she has gone through the relevant procedures, her actual status is still far inferior to that of the concubine, but it is higher than that of other ordinary maids.

Xiao Yu'er is the only maid who comes to Ying'er, and when Ying'er marries Liu Xin later, Xiao Yu'er will naturally marry Liu Xin as a maid in the room.

So after coming to Ying'er's reminder, Xiao Yu'er remembered that there was such a thing, it turned out that she was going to marry Liu Xin in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help blushing, and said a little shyly: "Miss, why are you like this." ”

Lai Ying'er smiled, stepped forward and touched Xiao Yu'er's hair, and said happily: "Yo, our little Yu'er will also be shy, what's so shy, didn't I find you a good husband for your young lady?" ”

Xiao Yu'er was speechless by what Ying'er said.

However, Ying'er continued: "Xiao Yu'er, don't worry, Liu Gongzi has not married a wife and had children, if nothing else, Liu Gongzi can still marry you as a concubine in the future." ”

As an ancient civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, Huaxia has always believed that there are no rules and no circle, so there are rules to abide by in terms of marrying a few wives and concubines, and even the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme cannot be an exception, because these are all from the "Book of Rites", so everyone must abide by the regulations in this regard, because the "Book of Rites" can be said to be a law that restricts high-level people in ancient times to a certain extent.

There is a saying in the "Book of Rites: Duyi": "The ancients established six palaces after the Son of Heaven, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives. ”

This is the standard and rule for the emperor to set up a concubine, the so-called 3,000 beauties in the harem, in fact, the emperors "set up a name" and made some so-called "palace maids".

In the Han Dynasty, ordinary people could only marry one wife, and it was basically impossible to take concubines, and the general officials were the standard of one wife and two concubines (Cai Yong called "Doctor Qing one wife and two concubines" in "Dictatorship", so it is generally believed that this is the standard for officials in the Han Dynasty to marry wives and concubines), except for some meritorious ministers, they will be allowed by the emperor to have more concubines, but no more than eight people.

Of course, these are the standards given by the official, and everyone should know the actual situation, and the officials naturally follow the same example, all kinds of "clever names", so there are also many concubines without reputation, such as Yuan Shao's mother, even if Yuan Shao is recognized as the concubine of the Yuan family, but Yuan Shao's mother is still just a maid.

And the royal status like Liu Xin is generally the standard of one wife and four concubines, so Lai Ying'er thinks that Xiao Yu'er can also occupy the position of a concubine.

After Lai Ying'er chatted with Xiao Yu'er again, she asked Xiao Yu'er to find Jia Wansan, and Lai Ying'er had some things she wanted to discuss with Jia Wansan.

Because she had agreed with Liu Xin for life, Lai Ying'er was ready to end her performance in the Spring Building, after all, it was already a little rude for her to show up like this, and her original goal had been achieved.

Although Liu Xin didn't say anything about it, Lai Ying'er felt that she should still stop, so as to take the opportunity to rest and rest, and to avoid the harassment of Yuan Shu's disciples.

After a while, Jia Wansan was invited over by Xiao Yu'er, and Jia Wansan had already learned from Xiao Liuzi that Liu Xin had come to Ying'er's boudoir, so Jia Wansan vaguely guessed the reason why Ying'er came to talk to him.

As soon as Jia Wansan sat down, Lai Ying'er said to Jia Wansan with a smile: "Uncle Jia, I have decided not to perform on stage after tomorrow. ”

Jia Wansan nodded silently, only said one sentence in his heart, and then asked: "Ying'er, are you because of that Liu Gongzi, is he really capable of avenging your parents?" ”

Jia Wansan has already regarded the lonely and helpless Lai Ying'er as his daughter from the bottom of his heart, so Jia Wansan agrees with Lai Ying'er's idea of wanting to eradicate Taiping Dao, and has been giving support in all aspects, such as the information about Taiping Dao that Lai Ying'er knows, almost all of which Jia Wansan obtained from various channels.

Therefore, Jia Wansan is also very concerned about that Liu Gongzi, whether he really has the ability to avenge Ying'er's parents, Jia Wansan doesn't want to be deceived by Ying'er.

Lai Ying'er naturally knew Jia Wansan's concern for herself, so Lai Ying'er told Jia Wan's true identity about Liu Xin's ******: The first update is 4,000 words, and the second update is around six o'clock, which should be a 3,000-word chapter. (To be continued.) )
