The three major cities in Luoyang each have their own characteristics. Nanshi is located in the middle of Luoyang and has the largest area. It is the most important city in Luoyang.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The North City deserves to be the first, and the two cities in the east and west of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, are far inferior.
It is no exaggeration to describe the prosperity of Bei Shi in one sentence, that is, "Bei City has all the luxury and treasures in the world."
This is not surprising at all. After Emperor Shizu of the Sui Dynasty established the Eastern Capital, he gathered tens of thousands of merchants from all over the world and gathered in Luoyang, thus becoming the prosperous Eastern Capital of Luoyang.
Since then, although the whole world has been baptized by war, Luoyang, the eastern capital, has not suffered huge damage. After the Tang Dynasty captured Luoyang, Li Xiaogong has been working hard to manage Luoyang, using various methods to promote the development of Luoyang's economy. In addition, with its unique geographical location, it is the entire Because of the central location of the Grand Canal, Luoyang's economy can be said to be prosperous, even far ahead of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, especially around Beishi City, which is even more prosperous.
Xiao Feng¡¯s home is located in Guiyifang. Guiyifang is just opposite the southwest corner of Bei City. It is only separated from Bei City by a street. It can be regarded as within the "Bei City Business Circle".
Xiao Feng can buy a mansion in Guiyifang. In the eyes of ordinary people, he can be regarded as a quite accomplished person. However, compared to Xiao Feng's mansion in Guiyifang, there is a house, regardless of location or size. But it's even better.
That is Yunyue Tower, located in Jingxingfang, just south of Beishi City. Although Yunyue Tower has the word "lou" in its name, it is not a small building. It is the name of a mansion, or it can be said that it is a holy place, a A holy place for literati, poets, dignitaries, and all three religions and nine schools of thought.
The reason why Yunyue Tower is so famous is because "Shuiyue Villa" is located in Yunyue Tower and is the first of the eight villas in Yunyue Tower.
"Shuiyue Courtyard" is the residence of Murong Shuiyue, a great figure in Luoyang, the eastern capital. How can it not be famous?
People in the Tang Dynasty were very promiscuous, especially in the Tang Dynasty. The commodity economy was stimulated by the novelty treasures brought by Korean merchants, and it showed a kind of morbid prosperity. Therefore, the way of brothels and brothels is extremely prosperous, which is what is called prosperity. Prostitution flourishes, this is the truth.
??A clue can be seen from the row of brothels in Lixingfang on the east side of Beishi City.
"Of course, the businesses that women do in those brothels are all genuine flesh and blood businesses, and they make a living by selling their bodies.
But unlike the girls who sell laughter in these brothels, they are just like the kabuki in Yunyue Tower, which only specializes in singing and dancing skills. However, because in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "prostitute" refers to women who sell meat, as well as women who sell meat. Refers to female entertainers who perform music, singing, dancing, rope pole, pony and other skills. Therefore, there are also expressions of "listening to prostitutes" and "watching prostitutes", which actually refer to "listening to music" and "watching performances".
There is a difference between the two, but sometimes they are very similar. If a prostitute wants his business to be more prosperous, he must have certain skills to attract customers. Because of his humble status, a busker often comes into contact with the powerful. Most of them are beautiful people who cannot be treated like this. Sometimes they are forced to surrender to the powerful and rely on selling themselves to survive.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are not many gentry who can truly do what is called in later generations, ¡°showing off their art, but not their body,¡± but Murong Shuiyue, a great master of the generation, is obviously one of them, and the same is true of other kabuki actors of Yunyuelou.
There are two widely circulated sayings about Yunyuelou, one of which is, "The girls in Yunyuelou only sell their skills but not their bodies."
And what about the other sentence?
That is, "Korean fans will not be entertained!"
This sentence is not a lie. It is written in two languages ??at the main entrance of Yunyue Tower.
It is strange to say that perhaps because of these words, Yunyuelou's status in the hearts of the Tang Dynasty people has become a little higher. Although the girls in Yunyuelou are all prostitutes rather than prostitutes, they have attracted Luoyang City, even Chang'an and Some dignitaries from all over the country are flocking to it.
Of course, most of them left because of Murong Shuiyue, the leader of Yunyue Tower.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the generation, Murong Shuiyue is like the moon in the water, like the water in the moon, sometimes hazy, sometimes clear, no one can know the true face of Murong Shuiyue, but this is precisely the most attractive thing.
There was once a powerful man who said that if he could bring Murong Shuiyue into his residence and perform for him alone every day, he would be willing to lose ten years of his life!
From this, we can see the attractiveness of Murong Shuiyue.
However, Murong Shuiyue, the top leader of Yunyue Tower and regarded by everyone as the "holy lady" of the generation, is pouting and losing her temper like a little woman.
"Third aunt, I have told you that todayIf I feel unwell, I will not perform! Let other sisters receive them. "
Seeing Murong Shuiyue getting angry at her as soon as she entered the door, Wang Sanniang shook her head and smiled helplessly.
Wang Sanniang is the person in charge of Yunyue Tower. If she were placed in other brothels, she would be regarded as the old bustard.
"Okay, okay, I'm not here to force you to act." In the bitter laughter, Wang Sanniang's tone was quite helpless.
In fact, Murong Shuiyue has been using physical discomfort as an excuse to refuse to participate in performances for the past five or six days, causing Yunyuelou to suffer huge losses.
Yesterday, there was even a guest from Chang'an, hoping to pay ten gold yuan to Murong and everyone to perform for him alone. That is a hundred pieces of Tang Tongbao. Unfortunately, Murong Shuiyue Still refused to agree, and finally let the guest go home disappointed.
Thinking of this, Wang Sanniang couldn't sleep well all night, but she had nothing to do with Murong Shuiyue. Now Yunyue Tower is synonymous with kabuki throughout Luoyang and even the Tang Dynasty. Mainly because of her relationship with Murong Shuiyue, who is respected as "the first generation". "Everyone" Murong Shuiyue is inseparable from the relationship.
But what Wang Sanniang has always been curious about is why Murong Shuiyue came back as a different person after she went to Luoyang to perform at the chief steward's house that day.
This really puzzled Wang Sanniang.
Actually, why Murong Shuiyue has been so abnormal in the past five or six days, isn't it because of the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou: When Will the Bright Moon Come"?
After that night, a figure of a person always appeared in Murong Shuiyue's mind inexplicably, especially when he was strolling down the hall and singing softly the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou: When Will the Bright Moon Come?" , Murong Shuiyue felt an unspeakable throbbing in her heart.
After that, the man defeated the gang of princes in Luoyang in a one-on-one battle, which made Murong Shuiyue unbelievable. Can there be such a powerful man in the world?
It should be noted that the people he faced were not ordinary people. They were all descendants of the famous generals of the Tang Army and the family of military generals. If these men were put outside, which one would be the weak one?
????????????????? This man¡¯s literary talent is so excellent, and he is such a versatile man in both literature and martial arts, how could Murong Shuiyue not be secretly heartbroken by him?
And when Murong Shuiyue carefully understood the good poem, she was even more surprised. After Murong Shuiyue understood the artistic conception of the poem, she could feel that Master Xiao seemed to have the same admiration for her. .
Therefore, precisely because of this, in the afternoon of the second day, Murong Shuiyue couldn't hold back. He took two of his recent poems and thought of them at the Xiao family's house, and "asked for advice" in person in the name of literary research. , but unexpectedly, everyone Xiao was not at home.
That's all. When Murong Shuiyue left, he left a special message saying that he would continue to visit the Xiao family the next day. Unexpectedly, he left such a message. The damn Xiao family was still not there the next day. He just passed his The manager of the foreign government told himself that he was very busy recently and had no time to stay at home.
Forget it, when he left again, Murong Shuiyue asked the young and enthusiastic outside steward of the Xiao Mansion to tell him that he would be waiting for the Xiao family at Yunyue Tower, and asked the Xiao family to come when they were free. You must come to Yunyue Tower and give her some advice, not during the day, but even at night.
However, what is even more disgusting is that five or six days have passed, and there is no trace of the Xiao family. In this way, can Murong Shuiyue be in a good mood?
It should be noted that Yunyue Tower and Xiao Mansion are only separated by one street at most, less than a thousand steps away. If Xiao and everyone are not here, what does it mean?
Since you don¡¯t value me so much, why did you give me such a nice word that expresses your feelings?
¡°Is this you playing an emotional game, using that cheap trick of playing hard to get?
Or, it's just that you look down on me in your heart that I am a kabuki?
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, I hate you so much anyway!"
From now on, even if you rush up and kneel in front of me, I, Murong Shuiyue, will never pay any attention to you!
Murong Shuiyue really wronged Xiao Feng. After listening to Xiao Liuer's message, Xiao Feng could always spare some time even though he was busy.
However, Xiao Feng knew his true strength. If he was asked to use his half-literate skills to plagiarize a few famous poems, Xiao Feng could indeed do it. However, when Xiao Feng heard that Murong Shuiyue was planning to let him come to the door, After advising her, Xiao Feng felt a little panicked. How dare he send her half a bucket of water to make a fool of herself?
In addition, Xiao Feng was really busy these days, so he just put this matter aside, but he didn't know that his actions made Murong Shuiyue secretly angry for five or six days.
The detailed story, Wang SanniangStill don¡¯t know.
However, the reason why she came to see Murong Shuiyue at this moment was really not because she wanted her to perform. She shook her head helplessly and said to Murong Shuiyue, who was still secretly angry: "Shuiyue, I really didn't come this time. I forced you to perform, do you know who is coming to find you now?"
Wang Sanniang¡¯s words made Murong Shuiyue perk up. Could it be that Xiao Feng is here?
So, she hurriedly asked: "Third Aunt, who is here to see me?"
