The law of the Ming Dynasty had a "night ban" law. The regulations are clear, the dusk drum is sounded at three o'clock, and travel is prohibited; The morning bell rang at three o'clock on the fifth watch before the ban on traffic. Whoever walks on the street on the second, third, and fourth watches shall be flogged fifty times; Anyone who commits a night offense after the first watch is closed and shortly before the fifth watch is opened, will be given 40 lashes.

As soon as the drum beats, the guests in the hall begin to walk out. Yang Chendong's family lives outside the capital, so he naturally has to take a step ahead, otherwise he is afraid that he will not have time to rush to the south city gate.

"Several, the time has come, take your leave!" Yang Chendong stood up and hugged his fists towards Xu Chengzong and the others.

"Dongshuai walks slowly." Xu Chengzong and the others got up with a smile on their faces to see each other, although they had just met, they had a great feeling of seeing each other late.

If you want to say that Yang Chendong has gained anything tonight in addition to becoming famous, I am afraid that it is to get to know these three friends.

Of course, the more important significance is that the news of the three new songs was spreading rapidly among the Beijing teachers that night, and by the next day, people on the streets had already begun to hum the new lyrics and songs that were fresh and catchy. "The peach leaves are tipped, the willow leaves are full of sky, in his place, this Ming Ah Gong, listen carefully to what I have to say..."

In the morning, Yahuan Xiaoweier went out to buy breakfast as usual. As soon as I left the courtyard, I heard two young scholars on the street humming this song that I had never heard before.

For a while, Xiao Wei'er felt a fresh and pungent feeling surging into her heart, and she was stupid when she stood there for a while.

It wasn't until the two scholars had gone away that she came to her senses, and then went to the nearest breakfast shop with full curiosity. It wasn't until I returned to the courtyard early and looked at the young lady who was dressing up that I put the breakfast box on the wooden table with some distraction.

Then he put his hands on his cheeks, carefully recalled the song he heard in his head, and then hummed softly in his mouth.

After just humming a few words, he shook his head vigorously, looking anxious, as if he had lost something beloved.

"Xiaowei, what's wrong with you?" After so many repetitions, Xiao Weier is still immersed in her own world? From the ears came the pleasant voice of the young lady like a yellow warbler, "What are you humming?" It sounds good. ”

"Ahh Miss! "At this time, Xiao Wei Fang woke up like a big dream, but she was already sweating all over her head." I... It was when I went to the street to buy breakfast just now that I heard two people humming this song there, which made me feel refreshed, so I learned two sentences, but unfortunately I didn't remember them. ”

At this time, Xiaowei hated herself, as if she hadn't memorized the lyrics and songs, as if she had made a big mistake.

"What?" I saw that the young lady's expression changed suddenly, "Xiaowei, you mean, just now you were humming a new song that was being sung by people on the street?" ”

"Ahh Miss, is this a new track? What is the new track, why hasn't I heard it again? ”

The young lady who was grabbed by Yahuan Xiaowei's arm and shook it gently was not completely dressed at this time, so that under the red cloth body, the slender jade neck was undoubtedly exposed, a crisp chest like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, a bundle of plain waists, not even a hand, a pair of long and well-proportioned legs were exposed, and even the beautiful lotus feet were silently enchanting, sending out a seemingly tempting invitation.

If there are people who often come to Flower Street here, they will definitely scream, accompanied by a "Snow Lady", calling out her identity.

Snow Lady, full name Shao Yuxue. It is one of the famous Oiran in Jingshi Flower Street, and was once known as the beautiful city together with the fragrant lady Dong Hanxiang.

It means that both of them are beautiful and moving over half of the city, and if the two are one, then it is a beautiful city.

Last night, Xiang Niangzi was resting in the backyard of Baihuatang because of women's physiological reasons, coupled with her young lethargy, she didn't know what happened in Jiuyifang, and naturally she didn't know the three new songs.

It's just that when I got up early in the morning, I heard Xiaowei, the close-fitting girl, humming softly, and I was attracted to ask what was going on.

"Of course it's a new tune, and you know what Miss does, if it's an old piece, then I can't have heard it." The tone is very firm, the snow lady not only has skin like snow, but also has a wonderful voice, and is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

"It's a new tune! Then the young lady will learn quickly, and when she wants to sing, she will definitely provoke more people to come to our Baihuatang, so she can suppress the end of the Nine Arts Workshop. Xiaowei had an excited expression on her face. Naturally, if it's because she wants to listen to this tune, then it's not known to outsiders.

"Phew!" The Snow Lady's red lips opened slightly, and she really exhaled like an orchid. "Even if it's a new song, of course the young lady hasn't heard it before. You Nizi, if you have the time, you might as well hurry up and inquire about the origin of this song. ”

"Oh, Vigilly will go right away." The lively Xiaowei, who was reminded, agreed, and the person rushed out of the house in a hurry, and the snow lady, who saw that the clothes behind her were still slightly untidy, shook her head, "This Xiaowei is already sixteen years old, and she is still careless in doing things, and I don't know who will marry her in the future." ”

When talking about marriage, Xue Niangzi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, she thought of her own background, thought of Xiaowei's background, people like them have no right to pursue happiness, maybe the best ending is to die in Baihuatang. It's just that when she's really old, can she be accommodated here?

Oiran! Sounds like a pretty famous.

But in the final analysis, what you eat is just youth rice. Once they get older, their popularity will decline day by day, and at that time, there will naturally be younger and more beautiful women to replace them.

It's like what the lyrics of later generations say: "One wrong step is a mistake and one mistake is wrong." Dancers are also human beings, so to whom do you tell the pain in your heart? For the persecution of life, tears fell into my stomach. Is this fate? Destined to live in that dust all his life! ”

It is precisely because of the experience of countless predecessors that they have been told that people like Snow Lady have long been prepared in their hearts. I just want to earn more when I am young, so that when I am old, I can be regarded as having the ability to solve my own food and clothing. And the emergence of new songs is often the best opportunity, which can make a person become famous all over the world from unknown background, and then there will naturally be some rich benefactors, and many followers are the most beautiful time in their lives.

The Snow Lady had a feeling that this piece was so fresh, so different, and completely different from what she had learned before. Once she learns it, it will definitely become popular if she sings it, and she must learn this tune.

......

Hu Mansion.

Hu Yan got up to eat and read as usual.

Of course, this so-called reading book is not the wonderful stories in Yang Bao, but the books on women's training and women's morality that contemporary women must learn.

To be a woman, of course, is to get married, and to spend most of her life in her husband's house. How to be a good wife and take care of the household affairs for her husband has become something that most people deal with in their lives.

If you want to do things, you should behave naturally virtuously. This requires women to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and to learn three obedience and four virtues.

The so-called "three subordinates" and "four virtues" were the foundation of women's standing at that time.

"Three subordinates" refers to: unmarried from the father, married from the husband, and the husband from the son.

"Four virtues" refers to morality, appearance, speech, and work, that is, to be a woman, the first important thing is morality, to be able to stand upright; Then there is physiognomy (pointing out that you should be dignified and steady, not frivolous and casual), speech (referring to talking to people to be able to follow the meaning at will, be able to understand what others say, and know what you should and should not say) and the way of governing the family (the way of governing the family includes the details of life such as husband and children, respect for the old and love for the young, diligence and thrift).

Not only that, but then there are three outlines and five permanents, and so on.

It is precisely because of the etiquette and teachings of these so-called books of the sages that the social status of women has never been very high. If you marry a man who likes you and is willing to share everything with you, it's better to say something, at least at home. But whenever you meet a man who doesn't know how to hurt people, you may be like Yang Qijie'er, and gradually become a subordinate.

Hu Yan's grandfather Hu Hu is still alive, although he is not young, he is still in good health, and he is an important minister of the imperial court, one of the "five ministers of Tuogu" of Xuanzong, and he also has the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

His father, Hu Changning, was the envoy of Jinyi Wei at the time, and he had heavy power, and he was in his forties.

With such a grandfather and father, Hu Yan doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, even if she marries into her husband's family, she is afraid that she will not suffer any big losses with such a mother's family.

It's just that in the end, you have to rely on yourself to live, and relying on your mother is not a long-term solution. This requires Hu Yan to be hard enough, so that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Naturally, something like a woman's moral training is a must-read homework every day.

Maybe she was spoiled by her grandfather and father, Hu Yan was sleepy when she read these books, although she had just gotten up, her eyes were still blank, and her head seemed to be missing some support.

"Miss, miss." Hu Yan, who was hesitating whether he was fighting with Zhou Gong for three hundred rounds, woke up in an instant with a scream. At the moment, "Zhou Gong" was also frightened and didn't know where to go.

After the shouting, Yahuan Xiaoqing rushed into the study, bringing a whirlwind, it is estimated that if you run 100 meters at this speed, you should barely be able to pass.
