Chapter 39 Taiyi Zhongnan Cloud Moves in Eight Directions (2)
Of course, the madams were not happy. Xiangxue was the signature of Xixiangguan and a priceless treasure. But as soon as you enter the Duke of Zhou’s mansion, this priceless treasure is like the original handwriting of Wang Xizhi, and it became a fake overnight. Not only did Xiangxue’s value plummet, but Xixiangguan also suffered heavy losses.
He said, "I have someone to block the front, Mrs. Xiangxue, you can find a way to escape and avoid the wind for a while."
"Mom, where do you think we can escape?" Xiangxue smiled sadly.
The madam asked in one sentence. As Li Wei said, he occupied the title of Dayi, but Helan had real subordinates, strength and economy. Even if he could escape tonight, what to do tomorrow and what to do the day after tomorrow? If they violated this Duke of Zhou, they would end up even worse.
"What should I do?" The madam was so anxious that she was in a hurry. At least now Xiangxue is attracting wealth and treasures for Xixiangguan, and she still has such feelings for Xiangxue, and she is also worried about Xixiangguan.
Hualiu and Xiangxue shed tears secretly. As soon as they were talking about this, the disaster came to their door.
However, the madam was older and more wise, and suddenly said, "Miss Xiangxue, I have a way."
"Mom, let's hear it."
"Miss Xiangxue, don't you know the prince?"
"It was a meeting. I met by chance in front of Dongshi that day, and then he left."
"No, the day before yesterday, the East Palace was having a banquet. The prince mentioned your name again when he was entertaining the ministers and elders."
“So what?”
"It is unlikely that in the capital, I will ask for help from others. I can only ask for the prince, the prince is kind and has a dirty relationship with Duke Zhou. There is only this way."
"Mom, although your words are good, he is the prince. How can I see him?"
"You just give it a try, or God is merciful. Why does this Duke Zhou become such a virtue when Mrs. Rong dies?" The madam beats her chest and stamps her feet.
It turned out that Helan Minzhi had also been here, but it was not the terrifying appearance now. He was originally good-looking, beautiful and beautiful, charming and charming, and a little bit of talent. He was a famous grass in the capital. Not to mention that Yang Min was close to him at that time, even Li Lingyue, who was a few years old, had a good impression of this cousin. If it weren't for the overflow of scandals and the dispute with the prince, he would have turned out more of his deeds. In fact, Helan Minzhi was interested in Xiangxue at that time. Xiangxue might have been reluctant to seek it.
The pair of stinky skins that Li Hong threw to Li Wei were not bad, but compared to Helan, it was nothing.
During this period, I came to Xixiangguan several times, but I didn't see him doing anything too much. Of course, he was not the only one who laughed with the prostitutes, and the same was true for others. But it was not too much.
Why do you think so much? The madam pushed the two pretty girls and said, "Go away quickly, otherwise the front door will not be blocked."
The two girls, with Xiangxue's maid, slipped out of the back door without any lordship. They called out a carriage, headed straight to Yanxi Gate, and stopped.
After getting off the carriage, his eyes were confused. The prince was so easy to see. Didn’t he see Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, two wise men, not seeing the prince until now? Although they were concerned about the relationship between the prince and the foreign ministers, they were thinking of a complete solution. They were just passing the post directly, a small Dharma Cao and a small Tai Scholar, and they would definitely see the prince?
Xiangxue was a little older, and finally gritted her teeth and came to the soldiers and said, "Please inform the prince of the East Palace and say that I, Xiangxue, painted willows and asked for a visit."
"You are crazy about gaining and losing?" If you don't consider the two little girls who are good-looking, you probably used a horizontal knife to hold them straight away and roll as far as you can. But you immediately came to your senses: "Are you Xi Xiang Xiangxue, Lihun Painting Willow?"
"So, are you."
The three big fan heads in Chang'an have never seen them once. The so-called reputation of a person and the shadow of a tree. In terms of appearance, the two may not be stronger than Yang Min, but they are more famous. The more they look, the more they feel pretty. The tone slowed down: "Two ladies, what time is it now? Even during the day, you... you... don't want to see the prince."
In the middle, you are like fairies, but you are always prostitutes.
"Please, you only tell the prince that I am in big trouble with Hualiu. If the prince does not extend his hand to save him, we may not be spared tonight."
"Two ladies, if you have anything to do, you can report it to the government."
"It was Duke Zhou who called us to his mansion."
The soldiers guarding the safety of the palace were not soldiers from other remote places. Most of them came from good families in Chang'an, and some were descendants of heroes. I understood what trouble these two girls were in.
"but……"
Xiangxue pulled Hualiu's hand and Yingying knelt down: "Please ask me, a few men, and I will be lucky enough to meet the prince once, and Your Highness has no bad impression of me."
Several soldiers immediately woke up. Not only did the prince not hate Xiangxue, but the poems that the prince and the prince talked with the Cui family in Qinghe that day, all were spread from Xiangxue's mouth. This was intended to praise the prince's good reputation.
But hesitated and said, "But it's too late now."
"Please help me, Dalang." As he said that, he took out a gold bar from his arms.
Gold is not a unit of currency at this time, but its value cannot be denied. It can be exchanged in each cabinet. Sometimes it can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and sometimes it can be exchanged for eight taels of silver, which is not very stable. One tael of silver is about the same price as a shovel. It is also not very stable. It is just a shovel. Sometimes because copper coins are tight, only eight hundred are used to charge the numbers. About one tael of gold is equal to about eight thousand cents.
This gold bar is about a dozen taels. For this era, this is a big deal. The milk candy workshop has a good business and only sold it for more than 130 tons in a day. Several soldiers were a little moved.
"Please," he touched the ground with his head again.
One of the captains said, "Okay, let's give it a try, but the guards in the East Palace inside may not be very comfortable."
Xiangxue knew it, then pulled down the jewelry from her head and handed it to him and said, "Help help."
"In that case, we will bring the letter to you. We cannot guarantee that the prince will not see you."
Who can guarantee it? Xiangxue sighed and said, "That's natural."
This time, Xiangxue and Hua Liu both misunderstood Helan Minzhi.
Now he is interested in Hu women. Unlike the Central Plains women, the Hu people are open and have a taste of it. But a few people came, to be precise, a few of his friends. The great scholar Li Shan of Jingcheng, and the direct bachelor of Hongwenguan participated in political affairs.
The two of them did not have a prominent position, but they had a good relationship with Helan Minzhi, especially the former, who had close contact with Helan Minzhi. It was strange that when Helan Minzhi faced them, he actually lost the hostility he had over the past few months and became very respectful.
Both of them were very square and could not stand these Hu Ji and Hu Wu, let alone wearing only a twig of gauze. When they received the report from the servant, they pulled them down.
Li Shandao: "Duke, there is no need to harass Xiang Xue and the other three."
"Hey, the two of you came from afar, and Wu felt very honored. He just invited three prostitutes to entertain him. What's wrong?" Helan Minzhi had not yet learned that Gui Yan had become a business woman.
Li and Liu frowned slightly. These three prostitutes were not ordinary prostitutes. They had a good reputation in the capital, which made many literati admire them very much. However, they did not expect that the return goose would make Helan Minzhi bad.
Seeing their expressions, Helan Minzhi immediately said: "Sir Liu and Li Shulang, they just invited them to come and sing for the two. When they left, they immediately returned them."
Li Shan's mouth moved, but he did not say it in the end. Although Helan Minzhi respected him very much, he himself was a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty. The annotated "Selected Works of Zhaoming" was popular all over the world and was used as a reference book by scholars. However, he was able to enter the official career and was recommended by Helan Minzhi.
It was Helan Minzhi who took the initiative to open up the topic: "Why are you here tonight? "
Li Shan couldn't help but say, "Duke, the "Preface to the King's Holy Teachings" you wrote, Chu Suiliang's "Preface to the Yanta Holy Teachings" and "Preface to the Tongzhou Holy Teachings" and Wang Xingman's "Preface to the Zhaoti Temple Holy Teachings" are called the preface to the four great holy teachings of the Tang Dynasty. The "Pinface to the Famen Temple" is also copied by many scholars."
"Li Shulang, I've been too rewarded." Helan Minzhi has achieved great success in calligraphy, and he is only in his twenties, which is also what makes him proud.
"It's not a compliment. Li is a straight person by nature, so he can say whatever he wants. Besides, the memorial of the Duke's literary master, the memorial that monks would kneel down to worship their parents. Li still remembers it in his heart... The back of the Xuan Dynasty is filled with spirit. The purple air is not applied to the bird's traces. The essence of Liu Zhuang is tempted by the spirit. I think of it in the east flow. Yin Xiqiao is in love with her. He sees the look of the west. Therefore, the Dragon Palace is transformed into a Buddhist and merciful place in the Great Thousand. The calmness is concentrated in the world. Although it is far away, the sky is constructed with qi and inaction. The body is full of merit and harmony. Everyone is in the best way to preserve the method..."
This memorial is indeed very gorgeous, and it is very interesting and has clear ideas. It is also one of Helanmin's excellent works.
But Li Shan said this and changed the subject and said, "But Duke Zhou, Li shouldn't have and had no right to interfere with Duke's affairs. But the recent Duke's actions have puzzled Li. It is inappropriate to recruit prostitutes to have fun during mourning, but why did he collide with the prince several times? Li is one of your lowly friends, which makes Li very worried."
The soldiers guarding the three gates south of the East Palace were much more loyal to Li Wei than the guards of Yanxi Gate. After all, they came from the Eastern Palace system. When they heard the report of the guards of Yanxi Gate on duty, they hesitated for a moment at first, which was not in line with the etiquette system.
But if she was just a lady from a noble family, Xiangxue was very famous. What could men say when they were together? I heard some things, and it seemed that this fan head and Your Highness seemed to have some "god friends". Your Highness praised her twice, and the last time she was at a banquet, in front of the civil and military officials, although it was just a word. If she didn't help, would Your Highness blame her for anything happening to Helanmin's house?
Thinking of this, he immediately entered the East Palace and did not dare to disturb Li Wei. At this time, the two updates were over, and His Highness had already fallen asleep. So he sent someone to wake up Bier.
Bier also frowned. After thinking for a long time, she still woke Li Wei up.
When Li Wei was sleeping soundly, he was stunned for a long time when he heard the news, and finally said, "Let them come in."
"Your Highness..."
"Let them in," Li Wei's mind was clear this time. Although these two girls were prostitutes, they had been in such an occasion for ten years, how difficult it was to maintain a clean body? How could Helan Minzhi be contaminated?
"Your Highness, they are..."
"Let them in!" The voice became louder.
Bier had no choice but to notify the soldiers.
