In late spring, the elm and locust trees planted in Chang'an City were covered with green, and the fragrance of plants and trees was emitting in the midday sun.

Seven or eight horses were running fast on the wide and straight main street. Sitting on the horse was a group of brightly dressed young girls, everyone was full of spirits, sprinkling laughter and joy all the way.

The leader was a maroon horse. The horse was wearing a round-necked robe with crimson embroidered gold flowers and black leather boots. Although she was wearing a man's robe, the curves and beautiful appearance of the horse clearly told everyone that this was not a man's husband, but a wife. Looking at her head, she did not wear a black veil, but a simple woman's bun. Such an inappropriate outfit, she wore a special charm of both chic and charm, which made people unable to take their eyes off her eyes.

There were two wives right behind her, but they were all dresses of women. The only one they could be considered extraordinary was that they did not wear a hat covering their faces. The rest were all 18 and 9 years old, and they looked only the lady in the lead who was a little older and in her twenties.

A group of people rode horses through several fangs. There were more and more pedestrians on the street. The lively sound came from afar. Not long after, they saw Fangmen in Xishi. Several people slowed down their horses and entered the fangmen, passing by a group of Hu merchants carrying camel carts.

The east and west cities are the most lively places in Chang'an City. In the afternoon, merchants opened their doors and merchants were coming and going. Especially in the west city, almost all Hu merchants gathered here. Big beards with high noses, deep eyes, strange clothes, fair women with slim faces and scarves, and tall and strong men with dark skin are all commonplace.

Languages ​​from all over the world were mixed together, and the shouts of vendors, the noise of crowds, and the sound of carriages and horses made the West City even more noisy. When the young girls arrived in the West City, they went straight into a big house with white walls, black tiles and red pillars. There were slaves in the house who came to lead their horses and led them in, and they were obviously familiar with these young girls who looked like a noble child.

This is the largest music shop in Xicheng City. It has countless outstanding zithers, pipas, and many graceful dancers and singing girls. There are new programs every month. It is a favorite entertainment destination for the nobles in Chang'an City.

Several young girls surrounded the woman who led the lead and walked into the house with her noisy noisy and exquisite two-story building. The second floor of the building was transparent on all sides, with only gauze curtains and bamboo curtains as partitions. The ground was covered with complex patterns, with many brocade mats and short couches and small tables.

Everyone found a place to sit down, and the lady with a crimson round necklace on her head was scattered onto a low couch, folded her legs and pointed the bamboo curtains hanging around her.

"It's too hot to roll up."

Although it was not yet summer, it was inevitable that I would sweat when I was running in the sun. Several servants standing beside me immediately rolled up the curtains to let the breeze blow in outside. Several servants served various fresh fruit drinks and placed them in front of several people.

"Have you all the ladies got up?" someone asked.

The slave replied: "I was tired from dancing yesterday, and today the ladies are a little late, so Miss Cai will come soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, several graceful women came up with musical instruments such as pipa. The lady Cai who was holding a pipa in front of him was not very outstanding, but her temperament was friendly. She smiled at everyone on the mat and sat on the cushion on one side.

With a tweaked fingers, a clear and cool sound, Mrs. Cai looked at the woman in the round necklace on the top and said, "What kind of song do you want to hear from Mrs. Wu Er want to listen to? My grandmother Cai will help you to be entertained first. The other sisters are washing up and will arrive soon."

Wu Er Niang took a sip of sweet cane juice and smiled at him, "Miss Cai is a good song, and you can do whatever you want."

Mrs. Cai lowered her head and plucked the strings. After the pipa song was finished, several beautiful women came upstairs one after another. For a moment, the dance and music on the upstairs were noisy and lively.

These young girls led by Wu Er Niangzi are famous children of Chang'an and recognized as playboys. Among them, Wu Er Niangzi Wu Zhen is the most extraordinary and has the most prominent identity.

Her father was Duke of Yu, and his only sister was the queen of the current dynasty. Empress Wu loved her sister very much, so she developed such a personality. She was still not married at the age of 26 and called her friends all day long. She either spent time in the brothels in Lefang or led Huang Hao out of the city to hunt without any part. As a woman's consciousness, not to mention the circle of nobles and officials, even among the civilians in Chang'an, her reputation was also very high-although not a good reputation.

Wu Zhen is the best at dancing and music. If you have nothing to do, you will run to various music shops. Today I heard that they had arranged a new dance music to come and take a look. Unexpectedly, when it was lively, a slave ran upstairs, wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted her, shouting: "Second lady, the husband is back home, let you go back quickly!"

Wu Zhen was watching the dancer's skirt slamming his palms and applauding. When he heard this shout, he was stunned, and then he looked surprised, "What? My father has returned home? It's not the end of the month, why is he back?"

The dance music stopped because of this episode, and everyone looked at Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen picked up the horse whip beside him and stood up to walk towards the stairs, waved his hands to everyone, and said, "I'll go back and see what's wrong. Let's go first today, you can continue."

After saying that, before everyone could speak, he had already gone downstairs quickly. As soon as he arrived downstairs, a handsome young man in his teenage face came towards him. The young man was impatient and arrogant. When he saw her, his face suddenly burst into laughter and ran over and shouted: "Sister Zhen, you are indeed here! Why haven't you taken me to play with you recently!"

Wu Zhen shook his head and smiled, "Mei Si, you still dare to go out. Didn't your father restrict you from Xiang Xue? You can sneak out and be careful of your father's leg breaking."

The Silangjun of the Mei family pouted and muttered: "I'm not afraid of him. Oh, Sister Zhen, Cui Jiu and the others are all on it. Where are you going?"

Wu Zhen walked over him and said without looking back: "My father has gone home somehow. He asked me to go back and get scolded, so he left first."

Seeing her leave, Mei Silangjun became a ball again and went upstairs. When the boss was not here, he felt that singing and dancing were not interesting.

Wu Zhen rode back to Daningfang. Most of the houses lived in noble families here. Most of them opened the doors on the walls and headed towards the broad street. The rows of soldiers at the door looked particularly majestic.

When she arrived at the Duke of Yu's mansion, she jumped off her horse, threw the reins to her slave, and walked in with a horse whip. When the doorman saw her, she whispered: "My husband is waiting for the second lady in the main hall."

Wu Zhen looked down at his outfit and felt that his father might be heartbroken again when he saw him. For the sake of his health and saliva, she decided to slip back to his yard to change into a normal women's clothes.

As a result, he still couldn't escape his father's eyes. He was caught by him when he was about to slip away from the wall. Since that was the case, Wu Zhen didn't have to worry about covering up and followed his father into the main hall.

Wu Chundao, Duke of Yu, was once a decent person, brave and resourceful, both civil and military. When he was young, he went to the battlefield to fight, and later he was appointed as the governor of Luzhou. After returning to Chang'an, he became the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and later promoted to one of the third divisions. He was glorious. But he wanted to die a life and die in the past few years. He was not sure why he couldn't think so, but he even ran to Xuti Temple at the foot of Nanshan to become a clan.

The emperor took the queen to invite him back several times. He looked like a strange person and even shaved his hair on his head. His attitude was firm. The emperor and empress had no choice but to let him become a monk in Xuti Temple.

Because of this, Wu Zhen, the unrestrained lady Wu Er, had a more bad reputation - there was nowhere to be heard, saying that Duke Yu was so angry that he became a monk. In response, Wu Zhen himself said that he was a nonsense.

However, the family of Duke Yu is somewhat inextricable. He usually lives in the monk temple, but at the end of every month, he always has to go back to Duke Yu's mansion to stay for one day to visit his second daughter Wu Zhen. After all, she is the only one left in the mansion, which is really pitiful.

Unfortunately, Wu Zhen didn't think so. She wished no one would care about her. On the day her father came back, it was better to say that he was coming back to train her. The specific process of this day was that the Duke of Yu slapped the table and stared at her and scolded her for doing something bad this month. She sat in front of her father with nothing to do, and she was bored and dazed while listening.

It can probably be regarded as an alternative father-daughter emotional communication.

This time, before the end of the month, Duke of Yu returned to his mansion early. Wu Zhen was really curious about what he did.

Duke Yu had no intention of resolving her doubts. Seeing her full-body outfit, he first slapped the table and said angrily: "What do you look like in this dress!"

Wu Zhen was calm and turned a blind eye to his father's anger. He even smiled and sat down next to him, and asked him with a smile: "Father, why are you back now? What's wrong?"

The Duke of Yu paused and suddenly remembered the purpose of his return. He looked at a lot of old second daughters, with a bad expression. After looking at her for a while, she seemed a little unable to look directly. She turned her head and looked at the curtain beside her and said, "Your Highness the Queen has sent me a letter, saying that she would tell you a marriage and let me come back and discuss it."
