Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Pimping Princess
From the mouth of an old woman who said such a snorting voice, I only heard Yang Fan goosebumps all over his body, he owed a debt, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Presumably the old lady, you sent Miss Caiyun to visit the younger generation's injuries, and invited a famous doctor to treat me. ”
The old woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Langjun is polite, you can sit down and talk." ”
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although the Hu chair and Hu stool also flowed into the Central Plains, it was not popular, especially in the upper class, and it was even more resisted. Although it is said that the influence of Hu Feng was serious at this time, and all aspects of food, clothing, and culture absorbed a lot of Hu culture, as a place of living, high-ranking families still strictly followed the customs of the Han people.
They also know that Hu Fu and Chapter 88 Pimping Princess Hu Ren furniture are more suitable, and they usually like to wear Hu Fu to go out, but on formal occasions, they are generally still curly and deep clothes, and formal clothes are solemn. That is to say, they think that Hufu is applicable, but in terms of style, it is still not comparable to Hanfu, and on important occasions, wearing Hanfu is considered formal wear, just like we modern people usually wear T-shirts, denim, and even vests and shorts, it doesn't matter, but to attend important meetings and banquets, you generally have to wear a suit and leather shoes.
The same is true for furniture, as furniture, they are more reluctant to have chairs and stools, and still follow the Han style, so the furniture and beds in this room are not very high.
Therefore, there is no seat next to Yang Xu, but there is a futon wrapped in brocade, Yang Fan lifted his robe, knelt down on the futon, and said respectfully: "Don't be so polite old lady, please call the juniors by their first and last names." The younger generation is second in the family, and the old lady calls me Yang Er. ”
The old woman smiled and said, "That ...... The old body will call you Erlang. Erlang's matter, the old body heard about it, and heard that the Yang Mansion steward promised a heavy reward of one million dollars at that time, so Erlang took the risk of rushing into the fire to save people, and was injured as a result. I don't know how the recovery is now, the princess who came to Chapter 88 to pimp, let the old body take a look. ”
As she spoke, she sat up and looked at Yang Fan with burning eyes.
Her thin clothes faintly exposed her flesh, this one sat up, her figure was more obvious, not to mention, although this old woman was old, but she was pampered, her flesh and blood were full, her body was not a little shriveled, although the wrinkles on her face were obvious, her figure really looked like a person in her forties.
Yang Fan didn't dare to approach, but just paused: "Old lady, the junior's injury has healed." ”
The old woman saw that he was very respectful, frowned slightly, and then slowly lay back on the couch, put her hand on her cheek, and said lazily: "Erlang must not know the identity of the old body, and I don't know why the old body invited you to the door, right?"
Yang Fan looked down at the bright floor in front of him and said, "Yes!" Miss Caiyun said that the old lady is the elder of the Yang family, so she takes good care of the younger generation. The younger generation knew that Miss Caiyun's words were mostly excuses, and they were about to ask the old lady, but they didn't know why the old lady took such good care of the younger generation.
The old woman smiled and said, "Erlang, it seems that you have completely forgotten your old body, you look up and take a closer look, you and I have met before." ”
When Yang Fan heard this, he raised his head, glanced at the old woman carefully, shook his head, and said, "Junior, it seems that I have never seen the old lady." ”
A hint of displeasure flashed in the old woman's eyes, but then she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, yes! At that time, there was a pair of my Datang daughters in front of you, one as bright as a peony, and the other as bright as a lily, where can you still remember my old wife. Erlang, on the banks of the Luoshui River, you and I have met once, do you remember?"
"On the banks of the Luoshui River?"
Hearing what she said, Yang Fan thought about it suddenly, but as soon as he thought of it, a fiery shadow immediately jumped out of his mind, she was wearing a red dress, as if she was playfully slapping a red mermaid in the river on the bank of the Luoshui River, and like a concubine Luo Shen Mi out of the water, delicate and charming.
Then, another beautiful figure gradually came to mind, from hazy to clear, that grace, that charm, slender as the moon, soft as water, as if it was a white and elegant lily huā growing beside the mermaid, swaying in the wind.
Young Mu Ai, like beautiful things, is human nature, for a man, especially a teenager, a beautiful opposite sex is even more unforgettable, so as soon as the old woman mentioned the bank of the Luoshui River, he immediately remembered the huā of Luoyang who could melt people into the fire and the nameless woman who was as soft as spring water and clear autumn water, and then vaguely remembered that next to this pair of beauties, there was indeed such an old woman.
Yang Fan sighed softly, and suddenly said: "Yes, the kid remembered that he had indeed seen the old lady in the ...... on the bank of the Luoshui River that day." ”
The old woman smiled slightly and said, "Old lady? Do you know who Hongu is?"
This old woman already claims to be in the palace, and her identity is not obvious? A woman who claims to be in the palace is not a person in the palace, so she can only be a princess who has already won the title. Yang Fan thought of Princess Taiping, since this old woman sat with her, could it be that she was also a princess?
Yang Fan can't remember so much about the royal family, and there are many royal princes and princesses, except for those who are too showy like Princess Taiping, how can he remember much. The old woman also seemed to know that it was impossible for him to know who he was, and her tone was only a little paused, and she continued: "This palace is the eighteenth daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, the princess of Qianjin!"
Now that Princess Qianjin has revealed her identity, Yang Fan is no longer good at pretending to be stupid, so he took a deep look and said in a deep voice: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The princess smiled lightly, waved her hand and said, "In private, why be polite." ”
If this sentence is said by a charming daughter's family, the screen is like fog, the candle is like the sun, the brocade beast is fragrant, and the jade body is horizontal, and then there are such provocative words, it is really charming, but when it comes out of the mouth of this old man, Yang Fan has a chill in his heart, but he is silent.
Princess Qianjin said: "Erlang, do you know why this palace makes people heal with you, and asks Caiyun to visit and take care of you often?"
Yang Fan said: "I don't know!"
Princess Qianjin said: "You young man, looking clever, why do you have no eyesight, Taiping wants you to go to her house to practice polo that day, so chance, why don't you agree?"
Yang Fan said: "If you agree, even if you are a disciple of Princess Taiping, you are just a slave for others to drive." Playing polo and being favored by the princess can be rich for a while, but is it a long-term solution? Therefore, in Xianning, he is a common man, and he does not want to be a servant of a wealthy family. ”
Princess Qianjin said: "How do you know that you are a slave and a servant when you enter the Taiping Gate?" Do you know that many of the current court officials, and even the prime ministers of the current dynasty, are recommended by the Taiping and reused by the queen of heaven? If you can get into the eyes of the Dharma, how do you know that you won't have a chance to hear about it?"
Yang Fan smiled indifferently: "Those officials, and even ministers who have become ministers, have the talent to stabilize the country and the country, and the princess is virtuous, just to let their talents be known to the queen of heaven." It's just a common person in the market, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, even if he plays polo well, what can he do?"
Seeing this, the two of them kept talking in circles, and the window paper on this floor was not pierced, so she couldn't talk anymore after all, so she had to get straight to the point and tell her original intention.
This daughter princess is Li Shimin's half-sister, the eighteenth of the nineteen daughters of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the aunt and grandmother of Princess Taiping, a generation older than Wu Zetian.
When Wu Zetian slaughtered the Li Tang clan, some of the princesses resisted vigorously, and some swallowed their anger, but few groveled to curry favor with the Empress Wu. Only this daughter princess is an alternative, she can be said to do everything in order to please the martial queen.
The Feng Xiaobao who sold medicine that Yang Fan saw on the street a few days ago was presented to Wu Zetian by Princess Qianjin. When Feng Xiaobao was performing on the street, he initially made eye contact with a maid in the princess's mansion and hooked up with him, and this maid was Caiyun.
The two fell in love with each other, and Caiyun even quietly brought him into the princess's mansion to be in love, but he was accused of being with the princess and was caught by the princess. Princess Qianjin originally wanted to severely punish the two of them, and she didn't want to see Feng Xiaobao strong and handsome, so she couldn't help but be moved.
As a result, after being caught and caught, the princess turned Feng Xiaobao into her guest at the scene. When Wu Zetian was aggressive towards the Li Tang clan, Princess Qianjin was worried that she would also be purged by Empress Wu, so she bought the maids around Empress Wu with a lot of money to listen to Empress Wu's news.
She learned that Empress Wu gradually had the idea of being lonely and thinking of spring, so she dedicated her face Feng Xiaobao to Wu Zetian. Because of this great achievement, Wu Zetian doted on Princess Qianjin and became a celebrity around the Queen Mother. In the past few years, the princes and princesses of the Li Tang clan have been suffering, but the princess has not moved.
Princess Qianjin tasted the sweetness, because she saw that Princess Taiping seemed to have a good impression of Yang Fan, so she put a lot of thought into it, wanting to follow the example of Wu Zetian's face, and then for Princess Taiping, and please the mother and daughter, and her daughter will be as stable as Mount Tai.
To say that this Taiping princess, compared with many dissolute and unclear princesses of the Tang Dynasty, is very dignified. Princess Taiping married Xue Shao at the age of 16, and the two have been husband and wife for 7 years, and they have always been in deep love, and there has never been a little scandal. However, last year, Xue Shao was killed for treason.
Last year, when Li Zhen, the king of Yue, rebelled against the military, the two elder brothers of Xue Shao also participated. Li Zhen's anti-military failed, Xue Shao's two elder brothers Xue Tou and Xue Xu were beheaded, Xue Shao was not involved in this matter, but he even sat in prison, just because he was the husband of Princess Taiping, the Queen Mother was gracious, did not cut off his head, and ordered him to leave a whole corpse. As a result, the master was starved to death in prison.
Princess Taiping is now widowed, and her mood is very depressed, this daughter princess who pimped the queen mother and got a lot of benefits, so she wanted to lead Yang Fan and introduce him to become the princess of the Tang Empire and the man of Li Lingyue of Luoyang.
The princess said gracefully: "This palace wants to introduce you and be a guest of the Taiping, I don't know what Lang Jun want!!s?"
