Three months' rent and security deposit, plus deed tax and Chinese fees, are gone in a blink of an eye.

On the first day Zheng Peng arrived in Chang'an, he didn't have a good feeling of Chang'an's prosperity, so he really experienced a handful of Chang'an rice.

This money is enough for the ordinary three families to have enough food and clothing for two or three years, buy an equivalent house in your township, and add a maidservant, but you can only rent here.

Not long after Huang San left, a dense drum beat sounded "Peng", "Peng", "Peng, Peng", and the rhythmic, low and powerful drum sounded like a signal to charge on the battlefield, and Zheng Peng felt a feeling of blood boiling when he heard it.

Although Zheng Peng knows that this is the characteristic of Chang'an, the castle-style military control, with the sound of drums to send out a night ban signal, the people of Chang'an, businessmen are also used to smelling the drums to work, this is the drum of the Tang Dynasty, the first time I heard the bell of the Chang'an Drum Tower, Zheng Peng has a kind of excitement to witness history.

Not long after the drum, there was another drum sound, Zheng Peng heard Huang San say that the drum sound was divided into five waves at night, and a total of 800 beats were required to stop, and the drum sound not only urged the pedestrians who were still on the street to return to the square as soon as possible, not to wander on the street, and the city gate lang who guarded the city gate and the square gate would also close the city gate and the square gate in turn according to different drums.

Fangmen was not far from where Zheng Peng lived, and Zheng Peng heard the sound of Chengmen Lang closing Fangmen.

The street can not be walked casually, but the square can move around freely, Chang'an City has a population of more than one million, only the east and west cities are difficult to meet the daily needs, in fact, each square has a corresponding restaurant, grocery store, etc., which is equivalent to the community in later generations has corresponding facilities.

What if someone gets sick in the middle of the night?

Before closing the fang, Ah Shou bought bedding and other things in the East Market under the suggestion of Huang San, and saw that it was getting dark, Ah Fu began to wash rice and cook, while Ah Shou was cleaning up the house, which was the purpose of bringing them here.

Zheng Peng was about to practice with Ah Jun, and was just preparing to make moves, when suddenly, a melodious music played, followed by a burst of singing, listening to the movement is not small, playing the piano for a while, playing the flute for a while, and the sound of gongs and drums, there are at least more than ten kinds of musical instruments.

Large-scale performance, Zheng Peng felt that the rhythm was quite familiar after listening to it, as if he had heard it in Lanting, by the way, it was the popular Huanxi Sha in the Tang Dynasty.

The music is neat and unified, and the singing voice is graceful, especially the harmony part, and the fit has reached a very high level.

Just as Zheng Peng was listening energetically, the performance suddenly stopped.

How to stop it, just when Zheng Peng was depressed, the familiar music started again, it was still Huanxi Sha, and when Zheng Peng entered the state again, the performance stopped again, and after a while, it started again.

Is this to add to the atmosphere of the banquet or to whet the appetite? Zheng Peng made it a little depressed, and simply went out to see which one was feasting.

"Young master, where are you going, the door is closed." Seeing Zheng Peng go out, Ah Jun hurriedly followed.

"Let's see who made such a big fuss."

The door of the fang is closed, and you can't go outside, but walking inside, the warriors turn a blind eye, after all, the business in the fang needs to continue, and they still need the filial piety of those shops.

Zheng Peng followed the music, and soon found a place to play, which was a large mansion that occupied half of the place, and the lights in the house were like daylight, and from time to time he heard the voice of someone commanding loudly.

Chang'an has a total of 109 squares, each square is divided into 16 corners according to the plan, can occupy half of the corner, must be a powerful family, you know, the law on who lives in how many rooms, how much space, how high the gatehouse, which way to open the door has clear regulations, not rich can be capricious.

"Hey, young master, there are a lot of carriages, what is the origin of this family?" Ah Jun said with some surprise.

After being reminded by Ah Jun, Zheng Peng found that in front of the gatehouse, there were several carriages parked, and in the dim light, he faintly saw someone raising the curtain, and he didn't know whether he was breathing or listening.

Don't qualify to go to the banquet or are you listening to music?

At this time, the music stopped again in the middle of the play, Zheng Peng had a kind of irritability in his heart for no reason, and saw a carriage parked at the bottom of the tree not far from him, and a person came out of the car.

Zheng Peng walked over gently, and when he was done, he gently patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?" ”

The person who relieved the hand was obviously startled, turned around and saw that it was Zheng Peng, and then patted his heart and said: "Scared me, I thought it was Wu Hou who caught someone who was immoral, no, who are you, do you know me?" ”

This guy is quite interesting, Zheng Peng arched his hand: "A certain surname Zheng Mingpeng, I saw that my brother's back looked like an old friend, I didn't expect to recognize the wrong person, I'm sorry." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it's okay, a certain surname is Wu, precious." The one who spoke was a little fat man about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round face, who looked very happy, and he was easy to talk to.

Zheng Peng hit the snake with the stick, and said familiarly: "Brother Wu, are you still waiting here at such a late hour, waiting for the banquet?" ”

"To a feast?" Wu Gui widened a pair of small eyes, looked at Zheng Peng, as if he didn't believe it, and asked rhetorically, "Your Excellency, I don't know what kind of place this is?" ”

"I don't know, the first time I came to Chang'an, I just settled down, and when I heard the big movement here, I rushed over to join in the fun."

Seeing that Zheng Peng's expression didn't look like a joke, Wu Gui lowered his voice and said: "What is the banquet, this is the teaching workshop, and the dance music rehearsed in it is for today's children to enjoy." ”

Speaking of this, the little fat man Wu Gui suddenly squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother Zheng, there are many beauties in the teaching workshop, there is a way, do you want to be together?" ”

What, Zuo Jiaofang?

Zheng Peng was taken aback, his mouth opened wide, and he didn't close it for a day.

Xuanzong Li Longji is a talented and passionate emperor, like French music, he has a high attainment in music, he can sing and play, and also made more than 100 pieces of music such as "Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes", "Little Broken Array Music", "Spring is Good", "Autumn Wind is High", etc., it is said that he is also very sensitive to musicality, often personally sitting, when the disciples of the pear garden play together, the slightest mistake is made, he can immediately perceive and correct.

At its peak, Li Longji raised more than 10,000 musicians, which was extremely luxurious.

There are three major music institutions in Datang, namely Liyuan, Taichang Temple and Jiaofang, of which the Jiaofang is divided into internal Jiaofang and external Jiaofang, and the external Jiaofang is composed of left and right Jiaofang.

The court prostitutes in the inner teaching workshop are the female musicians who worship the inner court; Unlike the court prostitutes, they do not live in the palace, but only enter the palace when needed, and the members of the foreign teaching workshop, there are official maids and prostitutes, and for daily expenses, the foreign teaching workshop also opens a brothel.

No wonder so many people are waiting here, it is estimated that the drill is over, and they are looking for a beautiful girl in the workshop to have fun.

I thought it was a big family banquet, it turned out that the teaching workshop was drilling, and it was playing and stopping for a while, and it turned out to be training.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "I've been running around on the road for a day, and I'm not in high spirits tonight, another day, another day, by the way, Brother Wu, it's so late, no one cares about such a big movement?" ”

"Tube? The teaching workshop set up by the imperial court, which one dares to manage the performance for the emperor? After Wu Gui finished speaking, he nodded and agreed: "But sometimes it's very noisy, this Zuo Jiaofang was originally in Yanzheng Fang, but the scale of Yanzheng Fang is too small, so it moved to Yiyang Fang, this Zhu Jiaofang makes a good calculation, here is close to the main workshop, some are young and golden, I heard that the brothels of Pingkang Fang are dissatisfied with it, but it's a pity here, a good prosperous place, noisy all day long, and the skin and meat business, the land price has fallen a lot. ”

"That house isn't easy to rent, is it?"

"Of course, stupid people only rent here, noisy all day long, such melodious tunes are barely enough, if you play a song like "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", hehe, the bells and drums are ringing in unison, and you have to wake up when you fall asleep."

When Zheng Peng heard this, his face turned out to be a little unsightly, and suddenly became a little blue.

I was fooled, and I knew that few of these wandering brokers were well-intentioned, but I didn't expect to take precautions, and I still fell into Huang San's way, and I didn't sleep well when I lived in this place, and the place where I lived was still very close to here.

It turned out that he was still in a little mood, but when he heard Wu Guiyi say, he was in no mood at all, so he casually said a few polite words, and then hung his head and walked back depressed.

Character, why didn't I practice when I rented it, and after signing the deed and paying the money, it became lively.

After Zheng Peng left, Wu Gui returned to the carriage and said to himself: "I really don't understand the customs, it has to do with being able to pick someone directly from the workshop, don't let him lead the way, hey, wait, the name seems to be quite familiar, where did you hear it...."

In the middle of the sound, there was a sudden crisp sound in the carriage, Wu Gui slapped his thigh suddenly, and said in surprise: "Zheng Peng? Isn't it just to write about the willow tops on the moon, and the people are about the genius of Weizhou after dusk, alas, it's gone. ”

Wu Gui said as he jumped out of the carriage and looked left and right, the surroundings were dim, and there was still Zheng Peng's figure.
