"Dong...Dong...Dong...Dong...!"

This is the drum sound of the curfew outside the yard... During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang City was a very strict curfew... because at night, it is often a period when various criminal activities are high. It is also the period when Wu Zetian is most worried about.

When we look at ancient history, we will know that there are many coups and uprisings launched at night.

Therefore, nighttime has become a time period for rulers to be wary of.

The best way is to let the people return to their homes honestly. In this way, the curfew that has been around for many years has emerged. Moreover, once some extraordinary periods are encountered, the curfew will be strictly enforced.

Secondly, this is also determined by the traditional farming lifestyle. The biggest feature of farming life is to work at sunrise and rest at dusk. In the era of farming, farmers did not have any nightlife needs.

And it can also increase the speed of creating humans more, which is nothing to do.

Of course, this is an ordinary people, like the mansion of Ang Lee's family. Although the gate of the house is closed, their nights are not just about sleeping.

With the sound of the curfew drum, Zhang Hu at home shouted: "Come... Close the door."

At this time, Zhang Lin and Zhang Sen would come together, close the door of the house, and then close the door of their own house. At this time, the people in the family could only move in the mansion.

Qin Hongxu was in the kitchen at this time, staring at the women cooking. After another half an hour, it was time for Ang Lee’s house to have dinner.

The meal tonight was good, including mutton, fresh fish sashimi, venison... and some vegetables... Li An’s family ate together at night. Li An didn’t like to have a master and then the servant ate behind him.

When Ang Lee's house was having dinner, the whole family was all together, Ang Lee, Zhang Hu, Xue Ding, Meng Ke... waiting for men to sit at a table, women to sit at a table, Zhang Sen, Zhang Lin and others to sit at a table... There are eight long tables in total.

Xu Jingyi, who came to Li An's house for the first time, saw everyone having dinner together, and they were not distinguished from each other. To be honest, she was a little scared, but soon after, Xu Jingyi fell in love with this feeling of eating together without distinct from each other.

During the meal, everyone was talking about some things freely. Ang Lee would talk about business matters with Zhang Hu and others, while the children would talk about what they saw in school today.

Women talk about things at home today or gossip about the various schools in the shop.

It seems very messy, but it has a lot of fireworks. This is something that Xu Jingyi has never felt before. How could a child who has been fighting since childhood have experienced such a family spirit? So although Xu Jingyi didn't like it very much at first, she fell in love with this feeling later.

"By the way...will you come tonight...!"

Ang Lee took a bite of venison and looked at the uncles who were drinking. Since the monkey wine started to be brewed, his uncles also drank a few taels every night and did not dare to drink too much because Zhang Hu would look at them.

"Come on the way..." Meng Ke quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Why don't you come... I lost money. Today I must win back the lost money, with principal and interest."

"You..." Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I'll accompany you today."

"Plus more..." Zhang Hu finished speaking, looking at Chen Dong, Zhou Xiang, and Li Shaoyang on the side, saying: "Today you three are on the night...!"

"There were three of us yesterday, why are we again today?" Zhou Xiang complained slightly: "Lin Zhuangyuan doesn't play, so he can also be on the night...!"

At this time, Lin Mohan, who was drinking a sip of Monkey Wine, said speechlessly: "I have to teach students during the day and stay at night. I am not an iron man, and although I don't play, I want to watch it."

Lin Mohan's words left Zhou Xiang and others speechless.

On the other hand, Qing'er turned around and laughed, "I like Lin Zhuangyuan, and I also like to watch it."

"Yes...it looks very interesting..." After saying that, Lin Mohan touched Zhang Hu's shoulder and said, "I will accompany you tonight..."

Zhang Hu nodded and smiled, "No problem... I will give you a happy life when I win..."

"Haha... OK..." Lin Mohan laughed happily.

The thing I just said was whether to come tonight was actually just playing mahjong... In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and in order to create entertainment, the ancients began to become more popular.

The ancient people's gambling types can be said to be of various types. The most classic story is that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period... Tian Ji's horse racing. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes and nobles liked horse racing the most, and some civilians liked "cock fighting" and "dog fighting".

"Dog Fighting", while civilians will take out their dogs. Like horse racing, whoever has the fastest runs will win.

The "cock fighting and dog fighting" style has always been the most popular gambling game among the folk and palace nobles at that time.

After arriving at the Tang Dynasty, "quail fighting" was gradually derived based on the original cockfighting. Two quails were placed in bird cages and rice grains were placed to see which side competed for them to decide the outcome.

Since the Song Dynasty, Cuju, the predecessor of ancient football, was often used to gambling. The nobles of the palace often paid a lot of money to train their own Cuju teams for gambling. Although gambling caused many families to be destroyed and even sold their wives and sons, chopping hands and feet, etc., still did not weaken the popularity of gambling.

People always use the saying of gambling to enjoy themselves. Moreover, throughout the dynasties, the people have always used this excuse to gambling one after another, but the cost of gambling was very high. In ancient times, some gamblers even went to the streets to rob money, kill and rob, etc. in order to make gambling.

So when Ang Lee made the mahjong out, everyone in the Li family fell in love with this new type of game. If you bet on a little more money, you will be really trapped in it and can't stop.

Even Zhang Hu liked it very much. When he heard that he wanted to play mahjong at night, he was reluctant to ask for it.

After a while, the meal was ready and the women began to clean up the dishes. Qing'er shouted, "Preparing the lights..."

The Li Mansion lit up. At this time, Ang Lee, Zhang Hu, Meng Ke, and Zhao Qing gathered together, and a pair of bamboo mahjong fell on the table. Beside Ang Lee was Qing'er and Xu Jingyi, and behind him were Zhang Lin, Zhang Sen, Xue Xue, Xue Cheng and others stood.

Next to Zhang Hu were Xue Ding and Lin Mohan, and behind him were Qin Xuhong, Xue Ding's wife and others...!

Of course, there were people sitting beside Meng Ke and Zhao Qing, and behind them were filled with people. The charm of mahjong really completely overturned everyone in the Li family.

Chen Dong, Li Shaoyang and Zhou Xiang were so bitter that they could only stay outside for nights. In fact, they also wanted to go and see mahjong, which was interesting, but they were too young to beat Zhang Hu, the eldest brother.

Soon, the sound of pushing mahjong in the room rang out.

The laughter and joy of the Li Mansion also came out, this is the fireworks of the Li Mansion!

....................................................

In the Li Mansion, when the mahjong war just began, a team of carriages appeared in front of a house ten miles north of Luoyang City. Soon, after the carriage stopped, a man walked out.

This man is nothing but Princess Taiping's minion Jia Yingfu.

Jia Yingfu got out of the car... and the door of the house opened. A woman in her thirties walked out. After seeing Jia Yingfu, the woman blessed slightly to Jia Yingfu.

Jia Yingfu smiled and said, "Fifty cents... You're not going to lose money..."

The woman then saw fifty taels of money. At this time, the woman smiled and said, "Mr. Jia...My two sons are also my treasures. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, who would sell her son?"

Looking at the woman, Jia Yingfu felt a little contempt in his heart. Although Jia Yingfu was the minion of Princess Taiping, even Jia Yingfu could not sell his children. The woman in front of him was very cruel to sell his two sons for fifty taels.

It's simply worse than beasts.

After taking the money, the woman asked Jia Yingfu and others to enter the door. Soon two sleeping teenagers were carried out by Jia Yingfu's men. The teenager was not awake even when he was carried out. It was obvious that the woman had given medicine.

If Ang Lee was here, he would definitely recognize these two teenagers, because these two teenagers were Goro and Ruolang. At that time... Goro and Ruolang were rescued by Ang Lee, and then came to Luoyang to find their mother again.

Who knew that their mother had long stopped living in Luoyang City, but lived outside Luoyang City. Fortunately, the two found their mother outside the city. Originally, the two brothers thought that they could live happily together by finding their mother, but who knew that they were actually sold by their mother.

After Ang Lee came to Luoyang, he also looked for the two of them, but he thought he would not see each other again at the time, so he did not ask for the address clearly. In addition, the two brothers moved from the city to outside the city. Ang Lee searched for a long time but couldn't find them, so Ang Lee had to give up.

But Ang Lee never expected that meeting again would be in a very wonderful scene.

Let’s talk about the mother of Wulang and Liulang. The woman’s name is Azang... a typical poisonous woman... Azang became a widow when she was very young. After this widow, Azang began to take Wushi Powder.

This Wushi Powder was very popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but later it was abolished because it was too toxic. Later, it was taken by the nobles in the Tang Dynasty. Why was only the nobles taken by it? Because it was expensive?

Who knew that Azang was addicted to taking it and actually sold his two sons... But Azang himself did not expect that his two sons would become the best man in the future.

At night... the whole city was curfew, but a carriage calmly passed through the walls of Luoyang City. The carriage was under the banner of Princess Taiping. After the carriage, the two brothers of Dazhou could control the future and sleep soundly inside.

....................................................

At the fifth hour (3:00 to 5:00 am), the drums in the palace came rumbling, and the streets distributed throughout Luoyang City were heard.

The street drums have to be hit for more than 900 times, and they will be hit several times until the sky is slightly bright. With the sound of drums, the doors of Lifang on the north and south sides of Luoyang City are gradually opened.

At this time, Zhang Hu got up first... After getting up and washing up, Zhang Hu would go out.

When he goes out, he buys food. Breakfast is also called snacks. Zhang Hu likes to buy a sesame cake to cushion your stomach first. "Hu cake" is an imported word, which generally refers to the food brought to Chang'an City by the Persians and Sogdians. It is golden, crisp, fragrant and crispy, a bit similar to the current naan.

After eating Hu cakes, Zhang Hu will go to a small market next to Taipei City, which is a market for agricultural products. There are fresh vegetables, beef, mutton, meat, chicken, duck, geese, etc. in the market...!

Among them, you must buy beef early, because the cattle from Dazhou cannot be killed. These cattle that can be sold are basically killed by themselves. There are only a few of them. If you want to eat them, you must buy them early.

After buying the vegetables, Zhang Hu would not take them home by himself, but would send them back to him by a seller. At this time, Zhang Hu would go to Beicheng for a walk, and a team of Hu people had just arrived in Beicheng.

This Taipei City is full of merchants and shops, "Documenting the cargo box, calling on companions, and shouting in a foreign accent comes one after another."

Like all the lifangs, there are walls in the North and South cities and are guarded by dedicated people.

When visiting Taipei City, you can also watch acrobatics and listen to crosstalk. There are several collections of acrobatic figurines and military-speaking figurines in the Xi'an Museum. Military-speaking operas are an ancient form of opera that began to be popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. They are called the "ancestor of crosstalk".

When I was tired of shopping, I should find a teahouse to rest. People in the Tang Dynasty mainly used to make tea. They broke the tea cakes and put them in a container to roast them. Then poured the roasted tea leaves into a special tea mill, and the finer the mill, the better.

There is an exhibit called "Baoxianghua Silver Spittoon" in the Xi'an Museum, which is a utensil specially used to spit tea crumbs.

However, Zhang Hu doesn't know how to drink this tea. He prefers the tea brewed by his highness.

"Oh...!" At this moment, Zhang Hu stopped because he saw a notice, which said that there would be a grand singing and dancing performance this afternoon, which will be performed by the Luo River River.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were actually the people of the Great Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty liked to sing and dance and would dance at any banquet.

Everyone in Ang Lee's family also likes to watch singing and dancing. After Zhang Hu received the news, he immediately went home. He wanted to tell everyone that there would be singing and dancing in the afternoon.

After Zhang Hu came back after a walk around, Ang Lee had not yet gotten up. Last night, the mahjong was in the early morning. After returning, Ang Lee had a relationship with Xu Jingyi. Qing'er was not good because she was young, but Xu Jingyi was already good.

Ang Lee really couldn't stand it, so he had a relationship with Xu Jingyi.

Qing'er cried secretly that night. Later, when Ang Lee found out, she explained to Qing'er for a long time, but in the end she had sex with her, which made Qing'er stop crying.

However, it is safe to use. Qing'er is too young at this time and is really not suitable for childbirth.

Ang Lee also needs to be restrained, because Ang Lee is only sixteen years old and can't be too frequent, otherwise there will be problems.

Qing'er and Xu Jingyi both got up, but they did not disturb Ang Lee and let Ang Lee sleep as long as they could. This is the attitude of women in Dazhou towards men now.

However, Ang Lee didn't sleep for long, and was woken up by Zhang Lin and others. Because the news brought back by Zhang Hu made everyone happy. You must know that Zhang Hu knew later that the person who came to perform this time was Li Pingcu... You must know that Li Pingcu's singing and dancing were the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Pingcuo was sixteen years old this year. At that time, she was famous and known as the King of Luoyang. Her singing and dancing ranged from high-ranking officials to peddlers and barbarians.

Zhang Lin, Zhang Sen... These are all fans of Li Pingcu, so it is natural to scream.
