Chapter 1249 Slave

For all slave women, being able to get rid of their household registration is almost the beginning of another new life.

However, it is not easy to remove a registered household registration, especially slaves, which can only be eliminated by military merit.

There are two types of slaves. One is an ordinary slave, which is a skillless person. He is called a work slave. He is responsible for physical work such as mining, road construction, city transportation, etc. He is a slave for life and cannot be removed from the household registration. His children are also slaves, and he is called slaves and has children. Anyone who reaches five feet and two inches (one meter two) inches tall will start to serve hard labor.

Some of them have skills, who are called craftsmen and concubines, men are called escorts, and women are called escorts.

The status of subordinate ministers is slightly higher than that of work slaves. The "Junior Work Law" stipulates that these people can be treated as craftsmen and do not need to be slaves as laborers. Moreover, their skills can also be passed on to their children, but it is not easy to get rid of the household registration. The military title law stipulates that "those who work subordinate ministers are beheaded and those who beheaded by humans to avoid being ordered to be employed in the past" means that these subordinate ministers can only be exempted from slavery and become real craftsmen by killing the enemy and obtaining military merits.

As for concubines, that is, women with skills, it is almost impossible to get rid of the household registration. They usually spin and knit, sing and dance, and they are all used as weaving ladies in the Weaving Office of the Shaofu or official prostitute of the Yuefu. They can be sold, but they cannot be removed.

Therefore, in Qin, one day, it was said that it would be a slave for life.

The Qin Dynasty's laws were strict, especially the assessment of military merits was very strict. Almost every level of military merit was exchanged for life. No fool would be willing to use military merit to redeem a slave who only knows how to sing, dancing, playing the piano and laugh. The princes and princes are even more reluctant. Just a slave in Quyuan, so what if you look good? For powerful people, beautiful women are everywhere in the world. You can buy a lot of slave girls from slaves. There are also actors and prostitutes who are specially trained and sold for the aristocratic market. You can buy them as long as you have money.

But Lin Xian'er is a little different. As her name suggests, she is not only a fairy-looking person, but also has excellent poetry, singing, dancing, lyrics and composes. She is definitely the best among the actors. Therefore, since the first round of the Courtesan Competition, it has caused heated discussions in various circles such as Xianyang folk and princes and ministers. Countless people covet their beauty, but more people like their pipa singing and dancing.

But no matter whether it is greedy for her beauty or her music, singing and dancing, the princes, princes, nobles, wealthy and merchants in Xianyang took it as their own.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I’m afraid, and I’m all waiting to see.

This year's Courtesan Competition appeared very suddenly and strangely. It seemed that under the promotion of some Quyuan Gardens, it was soon launched with great publicity. The bus company and even Xianyang Metropolis Daily helped to build momentum. According to the information I received, it seemed that it was a spontaneous organization of some Quyuan Gardens, but this competition with a strong unique style made many people suspicious.

If you are not guessing, you can see a very clear shadow behind the scenes of this courtesan competition.

Although the organizers were silent and silent.

But many people were silent and did not dare to be too arrogant. They all wanted to know that while this competition improved the entertainment level of Xianyang, there must be another reason.

Today, Qinghehou finally appeared in person to the competition site to declare the hosting rights, and the boss behind the courtesan finally surfaced.

Lin Xian'er, who was so charming that no one could become the guest on his bed, even all the princes and princes were drooling, could only swallow their saliva and dispel their unrealistic ideas at this time.

I was fighting with Qinghe Hou for a woman, afraid that I would be beaten on the spot.

Zhao Hai did not dare, and other princes and ministers were even less afraid. As for Meng Yi... Well, he dared, but this woman obviously had the bait effect of letting Zhao Hai take the bait. She came from Xianyang and performed a trendy dance music, and was so beautiful. No matter from any aspect, it should be the bait arranged by Chen Xu, just waiting for Zhao Hai to take the bait.

Therefore, when facing the overall situation of the safety of the Qin Dynasty and the rise and fall of the family, Meng Yi would never get involved in this woman.

"The Marquis of Qinghe is so kind and righteous, I have no choice but to repay you. I dare to invite the Marquis to go to Cuiyunxuan to gather. I can also serve water and tea to express my gratitude!" Lin Xian'er saluted with a blessed body, with a hint of expectation on her beautiful face, and her words also aroused imagination.

"Gudong~" Someone couldn't help but slide the Adam's apple on the screen and turned on the drooling mode.

"The left prime minister needs no hesitation. Since Miss Xian'er invites you, just go to listen to the songs and enjoy the songs. We will go to have a banquet with Dr. Jiancheng Hou Meng!" A Qinghou, wearing a brocade robe, said with a smile.

"That's right. I'm the only one who knows that Zuo Xiang doesn't like having dinner with us. It's better if Zuo Xiang doesn't go today, it's better to let the fairy girl accompany you. It's not too late for me to have a dinner party in a few days!" Another Qinghou also smiled and nodded.

Zhao Hai was a little reluctant. Now that Chen Xu had already said that he had won the championship with him, he had been coveting Lin Xian'er for a long time, and he had noticed it almost since the first round of advancement. Therefore, he had planned to join Chunfang Garden. If Chen Xu was asked to serve tea, water, and listen to dance and enjoy music like this in advance, I am afraid that news will come out tomorrow, and Lin Xian'er has already belonged to Chen Xu.

At present, many of the old actors in Quyuan in Xianyang have famous flowers. It is not easy to get it. Even if he is a royal relative, it is not possible. Behind many old Quyuan in Xianyang, there are undoubtedly one or several powerful princes, princes and ministers in charge. He does not have much financial resources and enough ability to get it.

But Lin Xian'er still has a great chance of getting it after fighting for it. At that time, it will inevitably attract countless high-ranking officials to play in Chunfangyuan, and some things will naturally be secretly colluded and arranged.

However, just when Zhao Hai was trying to find a way to pull Chen Xu's hind legs and make things worse, Chen Xu refused himself.

"Miss Xian'er doesn't need to be like this. This marquis has made other arrangements today. Don't use the thank-you gifts. Next time I will come to support you, so you can go first!"

"Yes, marquis, I will take my leave!" After being rejected by Chen Xu, Lin Xian'er did not dare to ask for it again, so she could only salute with extreme disappointment and followed the middle-aged man with two maids. After walking to the carriage, she couldn't help looking back at Chen Xu, but found that Chen Xu had already talked with a group of princes, princes and ministers, and each got on the carriage and left together.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but urged, and then Lin Xian'er got into the car reluctantly, then the carriage started and headed towards the east of the city.

Most of the people living in the east of the city are the first six kings, Sun nobles who migrated here, with the strictest management and the most deserted on weekdays. In a large area of ​​unified brick and stone mansions, they live in the top six kings and nobles of the top six kings. With the rapid development of the economy of the Qin Dynasty and the increasingly stable society, although the management of the area in the east of the city is still relatively strict, it is completely different from the situation when Yu Wuya assassinated Zhao Gao. The nobles who lived here can now enter and exit freely, and there is no prohibition on gatherings and banquets. At most, they must be approved to come back on time after leaving the city, otherwise they will be punished. Once they escape, the whole family will be tattooed as slaves, and they will be wanted nationwide. Therefore, the nobles of Sun nobles who have been banned from here for so many years have been honestly quiet.

As management has gradually relaxed in recent years, the area in the east of the city, which was originally regarded as a forbidden area by merchants and civilians, has gradually become vibrant. Buses have been opened, newsstands, food houses, business houses, folk gardens, restaurants, and many miscellaneous food stalls have also emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Therefore, the Six Kings and Nobles Sun also have greater space for entertainment activities, and the east of the city has become increasingly lively and prosperous.

Lin Xian'er's carriage turned around on the crisscrossing streets and entered a courtyard. The courtyard was not large, covering an area of ​​about ten acres. The houses, halls, ponds and flowers were all in full. It looked like a standard residence for a six-month prince. However, the plaque hanging on the lintel said three small seal characters Cui Yunxuan.

The carriage was parked in the yard. Lin Xian'er got off the car with two maids, and then followed the middle-aged man into the backyard in the center. Soon after, another exquisite and delicate carriage came. After the car stopped, a graceful woman came off, which was Wanwan.

Led by a man with a badge on the manager, Wanwan also walked into the backyard.

"I have seen my wife!" Lin Xian'er, who had just stopped, came out to greet her quickly.

"No gifts, talk to the inner hall!" Wanwan's face was slightly anxious. She raised her hand slightly and walked into the inner hall to sit down. The manager quickly ordered the maid to serve tea and leave Lin Xian'er and then all of them were withdrawn.

"What is the situation today? What did you say to the Marquis?" Wanwan asked directly before she could drink tea.

The courtesan competition has been relatively smooth since the beginning, and Qinghe Theater has rehearsals and performances every day. After Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng both went to be judges, Wanwan spent most of the time in the head of Qinghe Theater. Just now, Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng came back and told the story of Chen Xu's sudden appearance at the competition site today and the identity of the commander behind the scenes was revealed, which caught Wanwan off guard.

In terms of status and work, Wanwan is much better than a fool like Shi Xuan, who is obsessed with music. Naturally, she guessed that Chen Xu might have done this because of something else, but she was worried that Lin Xian'er was unaware of the inside story and rashly revealed her relationship with her. Then this matter might be incorrect, allowing Zhao Hai to see that the flaws had ruined the Marquis's big affairs.

Lin Xian'er didn't dare to hide it. She carefully jumped out of the performance on stage and pulled her skirt to pieces. Then Qinghehou went on stage to relieve the situation and finally gave her perfume and soap.

"Madam, I have never deceived me at all and have not disclosed my relationship with her!" Lin Xian'er seemed to guess Wanwan's concerns, and finally explained it quickly.

"That's good. I don't know what the Marquis' arrangements are, so don't reveal anything. Since you already know that the courtesan competition is arranged by the Marquis, you must have already known that the master behind Cui Yunxuan is the Marquis. So as long as you do things well, you will not have any problems if you want to get rid of slaves. At that time, I was the Marquis' help to have the status and status today. You are proficient in poetry, singing, dancing, musical instruments, and your figure and appearance are far better than me. Almost no actor better than you in the entire Xianyang Quyuan world. In addition, we secretly operate, we will definitely win the top three. Then we may arrange to enter Chunfang Garden, which will be Jiancheng Hou. I don't know the risks in the future, and I can only bear it yourself. Today I will make clear about this and you must consider it yourself. No matter whether you do it or not, you must not disclose any relationship between you, me, the Marquis, or your life will be lost..."

"Don't worry, madam, I know!" Lin Xian'er stood in front of Wanwan and nodded nervously.

"The Marquis arranged for us to spend a lot of money to invite you from Luoyang. As long as your affairs are satisfied, you will be able to get money and status from now on. Even if you want to find a good husband and enjoy the rest of your life from now on, it will be easy. But I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the Marquis..."

"I dare not..." Lin Xian'er knelt on the ground with a frightened voice, her face pale and bloody.

"Get up, I just remind you not to do things that are inconsistent with your identity. I have already found out your identity clearly. It is the authentic Lin clan of Ludi, the great-grandson of Lin clan, the concubine of King Nan of Zhou. King Zhuangxiang destroyed the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Lin clan became a slave. You were sold to slave merchants because you were young. Later, you learned to sell zither, sing and dance in Quyuan. Because you like to imitate the songs and essays of the Marquis, you are also well-known in Luoyang..."
