Chapter 287: Hami Orchid
Xie Shen glanced at Wang Shouwen angrily and said: "Brother Shouwen always says some unfortunate things, what kind of pension, have you ever seen a champion who is sixteen years old?" ā
Wang Shouwen spread his hands and grinned: "I don't just say that." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"What have you been doing well in the Ministry of Industry these days?"
Xie Shen was really not very relieved about Wang Shouwen, so he asked.
Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "Thanks to Lingyue, it's rare to be comfortable." ā
Although the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is an official of the Zhengyin Hall, most of the people in charge on weekdays are squires.
Xu Guan's official residence and the left waiter of the Ministry of Labor is Wang Shouwen's top boss, and with his old man's temperament, he is probably not used to the idle nature of this son.
Wang Shouwen is the head of the Tuntian Division, and he is not very busy at work, and he is used to being idle and being whipped by Xu Guan with a small leather whip behind him, and it is natural to complain.
"My old Taishan can't rub sand in his eyes, so Brother Shouwen should do it himself."
Xie Shen smiled darkly.
Wang Shouwen feigned anger and said: "Brother Shenxian looks gloating, it seems that I want to say a few words to my father, and I said Brother Shenxian, you are not busy, you need to add some burden." ā
Xie Shen thought that his immediate boss was Wang Shouwen's father, and he choked for a while.
"When is the time for retribution, the two of us don't tear each other down."
"I'm finally free tonight, do you want to go out for a walk?"
A flash of brilliance flashed in Wang Shouwen's eyes, and Xie Shen instinctively became alert.
This is a veteran who lingers in the flowers, and the casual walk in his mouth is not ordinary.
Seeing Xie Shen's appearance, Wang Shouwen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if Brother Shenxian is not interested, I will go alone." ā
Xie Shen scolded with a smile: "Brother Shouwen, don't provoke me, and tell me where to go." ā
Xie Shen is now a newlywed Yan'er and an official, and it is inconvenient to linger in the flowers, so he must ask clearly.
Wang Shouwen leaned over again and lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, this time I won't go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, I heard that a new song hall has opened in Dongcheng, and there are many Hu girls from the Western Regions in it." These bearded girls are all long-sleeved and good at dancing, but you can go and see them. ā
Xie Shen frowned when he heard this.
Western regions? This term was first seen in the Han Dynasty, and it was occasionally used in the Tang Dynasty, probably referring to the area under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.
But in the Ming Dynasty, the control of the Western Regions generation weakened sharply and continued to shrink. Now even Hami can't be firmly controlled, and he is jumped by a chicken and dog made by a Turpan barbarian king.
The concept of the Western Regions has become vague, and the specific scope is difficult to delineate.
"Where did Brother Shouwen say that this orchid from the Western Regions came from?"
Wang Shouwen said with a smile: "I heard that it was Hami who came, didn't Ma Shangshu help the Hami people to beat away the Turpan miscellaneous soldiers some time ago, this should be those Hami Meiji who saw my Ming boy and followed him all the way." ā
Of course, Xie Shen didn't believe such flawed arguments.
Hami and Turpan are fighting on the front line, where do women dare to show their heads. In this case, it is even more unlikely that Hami Hu Nu will return to Beijing with the Han family's erlang class.
Xie Shen estimated that these Hu girls should not be from Hami, and even if they did, they moved inward in the early years, and were used by speculators to make a fortune by taking advantage of the "big victory".
"Hami? I don't think so. ā
Xie Shen's calm and relaxed appearance made Wang Shouwen anxious: "Brother Shen Xian doesn't believe it, just go and see it in person." ā
Xie Shen hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Then let's go." ā
In this era, there are no computers and televisions, and entertainment resources are really scarce, so listening to music and opera has become the only pastime.
Don't say that it is a dignitary, even the Son of Heaven is the same.
Xie Shen has indeed been too tense these days, and it is not impossible to relax and relax appropriately.
As long as he didn't go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, Xie Shen still didn't have any guilt.
The two said that they would leave, and Xie Shen summoned Chen Hu'er and instructed: "Go and prepare some silver money to bring with you." ā
This kind of singer in the Western Regions is under the banner of curiosity, and listening to music and dancing is definitely not cheap.
The two went out of the house and sat in a soft sedan chair, all the way to the gate of the song hall.
Wang Shouwen said leisurely: "Brother Shenxian, take it easy, and don't go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion." ā
Xie Shen shook his head and said, "Let's go." ā
The two of them entered the song hall, and their own attendants came forward.
"A few sons, it's the first time you've come, right? Hurry inside please. ā
Well, the service attitude is not bad...... But why did Xie Shen feel so uncomfortable.
The two followed him to the private room on the second floor, and a slightly darkened bearded girl said to Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen: "Slave Zhenzhen'er, I have seen two sons. ā
Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen were wearing civilian clothes tonight, and the Hu Nu naturally thought that it was a prince and nobleman, so she accompanied her to be careful to make the etiquette sufficient.
It's just that a bearded girl is still a little awkward to see the etiquette of the Han people.
"The girl is the Hami Orchid?"
Wang Shouwen was self-acquainted, and stepped forward to grab Hu Nu's hand.
"Oops!"
Hu Ji shouted out in a lost voice, which made Wang Shouwen look embarrassed.
Who said that orchids are bold by nature, how can they be more shy than the women of the Han family.
However, the orchid quickly calmed down and said, "Don't tease the slave family, the girls are all in the house." ā
Xie Shen realized that this orchid was not a singer, but a bustard mother similar to the Qinglou, but she didn't do business here.
Wang Shouwen made a fuss, and he was not embarrassed. Then he waved his hand and said: "If there is anything offended, look at Haihan." ā
The bearded girl smiled and said, "It's out of the way." ā
When she said this, she kept staring at the money bag on Wang Shouwen's waist, and saw that his bulging eyes were shining.
The two were led by Hu Nu to a private room, and Xie Shen said, "We are just listening to music, why do we have to go so far." ā
The bearded girl covered her mouth and smiled: "Childe doesn't know, we have a rule here, regular customers rely on outsiders and inside." ā
"Once born and twice cooked."
Wang Shouwen took over before Xie Shen.
"The slave family won't bother the two."
Hu Nu was blessed again, and moved the lotus step and walked away.
Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen pushed the door in, and as soon as they saw the door, they saw a young bearded girl dressed in Luo Sha looking at them directly.
"Do you want to listen to the music or ask the slave family to dance Hu Xuan?"
Although the Chinese language is very lame, at least I can understand it.
Hu Xuan Dance flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and then it was lost for a time. This orchid claimed that she could dance the Hu Xuan Dance, probably because she came from the Western Regions, and she wanted to earn a vote in the name of Hu Xuan Dance.
Compared with spending money to watch high-imitation dances, Xie Shen was still more willing to listen to the music, so he said in a deep voice: "Just chant one or two tunes." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the orchid nodded and said, "The song played and sung by the slave family here is ten taels of silver, how many songs do the two sons want to listen to?" ā
Xie Shen was stunned when he heard it, ten taels of silver and a song, is this a Ming robbery?
