A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 362 The Ill-Fated Canary
Pei Yunu followed Wu Huaiyu with a bundle.

This is not the first time Wu Huaiyu has led someone from the palace, but this time is a bit special.Although the emperor ordered Huaiyu to be his concubine, he led her to Zhang Anan for the sake of prudence.

Pei Yunu stood far away with his bundle in his hands, his eyes were still a little dazed and numb, and he seemed to be full of confusion about his future life.

Huaiyu took Zhang Ananda's hand and said helplessly, "This matter?"

But Zhang Anan said with a smile, "This woman's pipa skills can definitely be called the best in Chang'an. Those women in Jiaofang Division are not as good as her, and it's rare that she is so young and beautiful."

"I also ask Supervisor Zhang for advice."

"Since His Majesty rewarded you, you can take it back. Why, do you still despise her for being married, concubine and slave?"

Wu Huaiyu felt that eunuch Zhang was a little bit bad now, and he knew he was not here to ask these questions.

After all, this is the woman that Li Shimin had hand-picked to ask for. Today, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and the others were so embarrassing that she had to give it to his subordinates, but who knows if Li Shimin will go back on his word, or even feel unhappy in his heart?

Wu Huaiyu is not the kind of person who lacks a woman, he doesn't want to make the emperor dissatisfied because of this woman.

"I can place her in another house. If the saint needs it, she can go there at any time."

"Where do you think, the saint is the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says? What's more, since you are rewarded as a concubine, she is your woman, so what is the saint's secret fortune?"

"Not yet my woman." Huaiyu refused to admit it.

"Don't worry, what is a mere woman compared to this Jiangshan Sheji and the sage and wise king? Without this Pei Yunu, there are still Jin Yunu and Liu Yunu. The world can play the pipa and look good There are too many women."

Li Shimin is a sage, so don't worry about that.

If it was other emperors, such as Chen Shubao, Emperor Sui Yang, he might really have to think about it.

"You don't really dislike this woman, do you? She's still young." Zhang Anan looked at Huaiyu with a smile.

It's not to say that I dislike it, but I certainly don't like it as much as the emperor.

Especially this kind of woman who is being robbed by others, no matter how good-looking Huaiyu is, she doesn't like it very much.

Of course, if it's just a dewy affair like Feresta, that's another matter.

"This is just to give you as a concubine, or even a very humble family trick, it's nothing." Although Eunuch Zhang does not marry a wife, take concubines or be close to women, he is also a sword master in the Shangzhu Kingdom and County. public eunuch.

There are also many types of women in the nobles. There are noble concubines who are married to the wife, and high-ranking and high-ranking concubines. , there are also housewives, and there are maidservants and so on under the housework.

Those concubines, maidservants, etc., if they did not have children, would be used by the nobles to entertain guests, or even given away or sold at any time.

Even if Pei Yunu had to be exempted to be good, but she used to be a slave and became a concubine in the Wu family, so she could still be just a lowly concubine's housewife. Strictly speaking, she was not a woman pregnant with jade.

"Your Majesty really doesn't want it anymore?"

"You take it back."

Zhang Anan reminded Huaiyu that the emperor still cared about fame, so since the Golden Palace has already given it to him, don't make up your own mind, and take it back whether you like it or not.

Wu Huaiyu looked at Pei Yunu who was still standing in the distance, and asked a question seriously.

"I don't know if she enters the palace, will the saint have any luck?"

"What do you mean, why ask about this?"

Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to say, "She has only been in the palace for a few days, even if she can feel her pulse now, she can't tell anything. What if, I mean, what if she happens to be pregnant after entering the palace, wouldn't it be clear? "

Many nobles gave concubines, and some of them found out that they were pregnant with the former owner's child after sending them out.

Zhang Anan was stunned.

"What you said is indeed a problem, wait for me."

Zhang Anan did not dare to be careless about the matter involving the blood of the Tian family, and immediately went to the eunuch who was in charge of recording the matter to inquire.Although the Tang Dynasty did not have a respect room, it also had the same internal servant organization. They would record in detail every woman the emperor visited.

A certain year, a certain month, a certain place,

when.

how long.

It is even customary to ask the emperor about his attitude afterwards, such as whether to keep the seeds, anyway, they specialize in this.

When the concubines and concubines become pregnant in the future, there will be special personnel to inquire about the files. If the time is not right, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

Zhang Anan left and returned very quickly.

"The sage hasn't visited her yet, so you can rest assured." He still admired Huaiyu's caution, "According to my inquiries, it has been more than a year since Pei Yunu was rewarded to Wang Junkuo. In Chang'an Wang's family, Wang Junkuo did not favor her."

"Well, she was married to a businessman before, and she never had a child. Later, she was captured by Li Yuan as a concubine, and she never gave birth."

"Can't you give birth?"

"Not necessarily."

"Okay, take him away and treat him well, he is also a poor man."

Zhang Anan thought she was quite pitiful, and even specially gave her a golden leaf.

out of the palace.

Pei Yunu carried a burden on her back and held a pipa in her hand, which was specially given to her by the emperor when she was about to leave the palace.

A high-quality pipa treasured in the palace, a master's work.

Huaiyu walked in front, and she followed behind.

One in front of the other, keeping a few steps away.

"Go to Dongshi for a stroll, or go home directly?"

"I want to go shopping."

She was like a canary kept in a cage these years, and she didn't have much chance to come out for a walk.

Now that he was out of the palace, he was very confused for a while. He said in the palace that he wanted to stay in Duke Yi's mansion, but he didn't know what he thought at the time.

In fact, she had heard of Wu Huaiyu's name before, mainly because of his poems and paintings, as well as his scandal with Li Sanniang, and the story of Mrs. Pei who traveled thousands of miles.

At that time, he subconsciously felt that he was not bad, and staying in Duke Yi's mansion might be a way out.

Huaiyu brought her white-hoofed crow, "Can you ride a horse?"

"A little bit. When I was in Fuchu, I occasionally rode a donkey to play ball. I didn't ride a horse very well."

"It's okay, I'll lead the horse for you and watch you."

Black hooves are tall.

Pei Yunu tried a few times, but he couldn't get on the horse directly, and his face was flushed.

"Help me."

Huaiyu was not pretentious, she just hugged her on the horse, Pei Yunu's face became even redder, reaching to the back of her ears, her skin was very fair, she was indeed a natural beauty, no wonder Li Yuan didn't think about eating and drinking when he first saw her, and forced her Otherwise, her husband would be unjustly killed and then robbed.

Even the emperor had heard of her name the most, and asked for it by name.

She was tall, plump and fair, but not fat, and she held a lot of weight in her arms.

After helping her on the horse, Huaiyu helped her hold the pipa, and led the horse to go shopping in Dongshi.

Not far from the East Palace, the two walked slowly and started chatting.

Gradually, she didn't feel so unfamiliar, and she also began to talk about her own life experience.

Her life experience is very similar to that of the Pipa girl in Huaiyu's Pipa Xing. Her family was originally a native of Chang'an, and her father was a Lingshi of the Chang'an Shangshu Province in the Sui Dynasty.

Although the status is low, the family conditions are not bad, but later his father committed a crime and was exiled to Dunhuang, and the brothers and other males were also exiled.

She and her mother did not attend the teaching workshop.

Because he was talented in music since he was a child, especially good at playing the pipa, he was accepted as a disciple by two famous pipa masters in the teaching workshop.

Later, Yang Guang sent millions of soldiers to conquer Goguryeo, and her father and brothers also conquered Liaodong. The elder brother fought bravely in Liaodong and won the merit of being the first to ascend.

Even with Pei Yunu's mother and daughter, they regained their freedom.

"Later, a businessman proposed to my family and gave a large gift,"

Although Pei Yunu's brother made great contributions in Liaodong and was awarded an official position, he was only a minor military officer. The family returned to Chang'an to be free, but they were very poor.

At this time, the businessman proposed marriage and was willing to give a large gift, so she married the businessman. That year was the 13th year of Daye, and she was 13 years old. Yang Guang in Jiangdu was the Supreme Emperor.

After marriage, Pei Yunu's husband has been busy with business, getting together less often and leaving more, and has not given birth for five years. Later, Li Yuan killed his husband and robbed him, and then he was given to Wang Junkuo and Wu Huaiyu, and then entered the palace. out of the palace.

Huaiyu did the math, so she should be 23?
Married to a businessman at the age of 13, was robbed by Li Yuan, and then given to Wang Junkuo at the age of 22, and is now 23.

Looking at her, she looks like eighteen, but I can't think of 23.

Sure enough, women can stay young without having children.

"What about your parents and brothers?"

"Aye died in Goguryeo in the Second Conquest, brother died in Goguryeo in the Three Conquests, and my younger brother is still alive, but in Dingxiang where the empress of Sui Dynasty died."

Dingxiang, in the north of the Great Wall of Datong, was originally built by Yang Jian for Qimin Khan. Later, Yang Guangjiang was killed, and Empress Xiao took her grandson to go north with Yuwenhuaji. After Yuwenhuaji was defeated by Dou Jiande, she It fell into the hands of Dou Jiande,
But later, her sister-in-law, Princess Yicheng of Sui Kedun of the Turks, persuaded Chuluo Khan to welcome Empress Xiao and his party from Dou Jiande to go outside the Great Wall, and settled them in Dingxiang City. The common people were all arranged to go to Dingxiang, with Yang Guang's grandson Yang Zhengdao as the king of the Sui Dynasty, and a small court was established there.

Up to now, Empress Xiao is still there, and so is Yang Zhengdao, the king of Sui Dynasty. Of course, everyone knows that he is just a puppet in exile.

Today's Empress Xiao should be in her 50s.

Pei Yunu's younger brother, who was selected into Xiaoguo for his contribution to the Liao Dynasty, is currently behind Dingxiang Xiao.

"You still in touch?"

"Occasionally, I can receive one or two letters from his trustee, and I don't know if we can meet again in this life."

Now Pei Yunu only has his younger brother as his only relative.

"I will see you again, and it will be soon." Wu Huaiyu comforted her like this. Historically, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, and also captured the exiled Sui court in Dingxiang, and brought Xiao Hou and the others back. to Chang'an.

Later, there were unofficial rumors that Li Shimin, who was 30 years old, had a year-end relationship with Empress Xiao who was over 50 years old. Simple nonsense, after all, you can be more beautiful than 50 years old. Queen Xiao is still Li Shimin's cousin .

She was very sad when she talked about it, but the best way to make a woman happy was shopping, and it was the same in the Tang Dynasty.

After depositing the horse in Qianjintang in Dongshi, Huaiyu specially bought a docile donkey for her to ride, and led her around the various cities in Dongshi.

Eat, eat, buy and buy all the way.

Sure enough, she soon became much happier, immersed in shopping, trying, buying, buying, and Huaiyu was responsible for referring to reviews and paying.

Clothes, jewelry, various cosmetics, her favorite musical instruments, and even some sheet music.

Fortunately, Huaiyu specially called two buddies from Qianjintang to help with the things, otherwise he would not be able to carry so many things.

After walking around for almost two hours, the drums for the closing of the East Market had already sounded, and the two returned home with a full load.
