In fact, same-sex love was not uncommon in the early Tang Dynasty.
After all, whether in modern times or in ancient times, there were some people who were born to only like the same sex.
However, in later generations, the atmosphere was more open, and many people were able to openly admit their sexual orientation, but this is not the case at this time.
Most ordinary people can only try their best to endure and hide it.
The rich and powerful can keep male actors in captivity, and the educated can use the word romantic as a fig leaf.
Qiao Junlin often went out to socialize with others, and he was already used to this kind of thing.
Because he was from a lower background, there were some people who kept trying to use money and power to make him surrender.
Qiao Junlin felt very disgusted and disgusted.
Among young men of similar age to him, a few people also have this tendency.
Among classmates, there are also those who secretly laugh at those people, and their words are very unpleasant.
Qiao Junlin cherishes his reputation very much and does not want to get involved with those people at all.
He is also a little impatient with the tricks of that kind of people to show sympathy to each other.
However, those courtesans with charming smiles in the Qingfeng Tower also made him feel very impatient.
After much deliberation, I finally came to Guangdefang.
I heard that Luo Yong and the others were staying here that night.
It happened that Guangdefang was only one street away from Yanshoufang where he was at that time, so he didn't think much about it and turned over.
After reaching the square wall, we came over.
When he saw the person in front of him, there was no impatience left in his heart.
Thinking about it this way, I have become more and more similar to those male students in school who are tired of being annoying all day long.
However, this coffin boarder has lived in the countryside since he was a child.
Now that he has come to Chang'an City, he doesn't go out to socialize with people much.
He should not know about all these messy things.
"You are really too courageous."
On this side, Luo Yong scolded calmly. "" Qiao Junlin grinned at him, went into the house by himself, kicked off his shoes and got on the kang, lifted the quilt and fell asleep in the place where Luo Yong had just lay.
Luo Yong: The two slept one night in Guangdefang, and walked to Taixue the next morning.
Guangdefang was relatively close to Taixue, and it didn't take long to walk there.
Then after school that afternoon, Luo Yong and several of his disciples went to Huaidefang to look at the courtyard they mentioned earlier.
After looking at it, they felt that they were not very satisfied.
The location was too far away.
It didn't meet Luo Yong's lowest psychological expectations, but the price was right.
Luo Yong thought about it, but in the end he didn't choose the place.
"I heard that the matter of your shop has not been decided yet.
I said, there is a wine shop in Fenglefang that is about to change hands.
Why don't you go and take a look."
On the evening of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Ma Feiyang drove to Feng'anfang.
Bian, told Luo Yong about this matter.
Although there is only one word difference between Fenglefang and Feng'anfang, the location can be found far away.
Go out from the Suzaku Gate in the middle of the south of the imperial city and walk south along the straight and open Suzaku Street in front.
The third square on the right is Fengle Square.
"It's not too late to go now."
Luo Yong also knew that buying a house sometimes requires a head start.
Just looking at the sky, it was actually too late.
"What are you afraid of?
If you can't make it back before the curfew, you can just stay overnight at Fenglefang, or go to Guangdefang."
Fenglefang is not far from Guangdefang.

"Okay, you wait for me."
Luo Yong said, went into the room to say hello to Qiao Junlin, and told him that if he didn't come back tonight, he would remember to help him take those papers to Taixue tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the students of Taixue still have to pass the exam before they can have a holiday for the New Year.
Qiao Junlin was endorsing the letter at this time.
After hearing Luo Yong's words, he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
Luo Yong and Ma Feiyang rushed to Fenglefang together.
The wine shop Ma Feiyang mentioned was in a good location, just in the southeast corner of Fenglefang, not far from the east gate and south gate.
The east gate of Fenglefang is adjacent to Zhuque Street, and the side street to the south gate is also quite lively, with cars and pedestrians coming and going every day.
This wine shop was also built a few years ago, with two floors and a relatively spacious place.
In addition to the store in the front, there is also a medium-sized yard at the back, which is mainly used for parking horses and horses and stocking goods.
The large size of the wine shop The kitchen is on the side, connected to the front building.
If there is anything bad about it, it is that this place is not among the two main entertainment areas in Chang'an City.
The location is good, but the business is not as developed as that around West City.
The surrounding environment is relatively quiet and the overall atmosphere is not With a bit of seriousness, it's no wonder that this wine shop has to change hands due to poor business.
Luo Yong is very satisfied with this shop.
The only remaining problem is the price.
The price offered by the other party is reasonable, but Luo Yong's savings on hand are not enough to buy the yard.
Half of it is enough.
After all, the location here is very good.
If some wealthy family buys it, demolishes this shop and builds a house, it will be more decent to live there, so the price is not cheap.
"Sanlang, look."
Ma Feiyang heard from Aye earlier that he wanted to change hands of this wine shop because the business was not good.
He originally thought that the price wouldn't be too high, but when he came over to take a look, he found that it was not his imagination.
That way.
"The store is in a hurry for money."
Unexpectedly, Luo Yong said to the store at this time: "If you are not in a hurry, I will pay you half of the money first, and the remaining money will be paid within two months.
How about that?"
"Not two months, one month at most." said the store owner.
"One and a half months."
Luo Yong conceded.
The store owner was still a little reluctant, but considering that the other party did not lower the price, at least the transaction price was satisfactory to him.
If it were someone else, he might not be able to get such a good price.
Besides, there are more than one house for sale in Chang'an City.
He is here.
"Okay, let's give it a month and a half.
I hope Saburo will keep his promise and don't delay it any longer."
In the end, the owner of the wine shop agreed to the deal.
"Definitely not."
Luo Yong said with cupped hands.
"In January and a half, where are you going to raise so much money?"
After the deal was agreed, Ma Feiyang and Luo Yong stepped on the closed doors of Chang'an City, sat in the carriage and rushed to Guangdefang.
"I have to ask someone to send a message to Liangzhou City to see if my sister can send some money."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
If it doesn't work, I'll borrow it.
At the moment, in Chang'an City, the land and real estate in better locations are nothing but pitfalls.

It is rare to transfer them.
This is only the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and it is already like this.
If you want to buy it in the future, you will only have to buy it.
It will get harder and harder.
Although Luo Yong wants to buy this wine shop now, he is a little reluctant, but if nothing else, the land itself is already very valuable, so no matter what, it will not be a loss-making transaction.
Just make a move if you are sure.
After passing this village, there is no such store.
In the days that followed, while Luo Yong asked someone to deliver the letter to Liangzhou City through the inn, he also intensively began to prepare for the shop.
He was not idle during the New Year days.
This side of Liangzhou City.
At the end of the year, Luo Erniang gave each of her employees a bushel of wheat, two liters of soybean paste, a basket of tofu and dried tofu, and ten cents.
Food here in Liangzhou City is more expensive than meat, so a bushel of wheat is not cheap.
In addition, there are ten cents and miso tofu.
After searching throughout Liangzhou City, there are few more generous employers than her.
The employees who received the things happily went home to celebrate the New Year.
There were still some who couldn't go back, so they asked their families to come and get them.
The family members met and said a few words, and then those who stayed went back.
Leave.
Those who were left behind all learned to knit sweaters from Luo Erniang and others.
When Luo Erniang signed the contract with them, it was clearly written on it.
In order to prevent the leakage of their craftsmanship, they were giving While Luo Erniang is working, she cannot go home.
Everyone lives together in this courtyard, and they always meet with their family in public places.
After such a long period of business development, Luo Erniang’s sweater workshop is now basically on the right track.
She had hired people to pick wool earlier, and then slowly observed them.
If there were those who were diligent and skillful, and whose character was reliable, she would single them out and teach them to spin wool.
The work of spinning wool is easier than picking wool, and the labor is more expensive.
It is also a craft that many people are willing to learn, so they are more active and the atmosphere in the workshop is relatively good.
Compared with spinning wool, in fact, what everyone longs for the most is the job of knitting sweaters.
Unfortunately, not everyone can be selected.
If selected, they can earn 70 cash per month, including food and clothing.
Live, there are clothes in all seasons.
The only bad thing is that you can't go home, so women with a family usually can't do this job.
They don't want to be the second mother even if they want to, so most of them choose very young women, or they don't want to be the second mother at all.
She is a certain age, her husband has passed away, and there is no burden on her family.
This contract lasts for five years once it is signed.
I don’t know what will happen after five years.
Anyway, many people in Liangzhou City are already watching.
After these people’s five-year contract expires, they will be hired to learn how to do it.
The art of knitting sweaters.
Luo Erniang had discussed this matter with Luo Yong before.
According to Luo Yong, this skill of knitting sweaters will definitely be learned by others sooner or later.
It will only take ten or eight years at most.
After all, their Xipo Village Those little ladies in the country will get married sooner or later.
After getting married, many things will be out of their control.
It will definitely be a matter of time for their skills to be leaked.

So when Luo Erniang decided on the contract period this time, she thought about it and finally settled on five years.
She didn't want to delay the wedding dates of those young ladies too much, but she also didn't want to let this skill be leaked too early.
After weighing the two aspects, she finally made such a decision.
"It's Chinese New Year these two days, so you all should have a rest.
If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me and I'll buy it outside."
After sending away the last batch of workers and their families, Luo Erniang closed the yard and Said to the female workers in the courtyard.
"I've eaten everything I should eat on weekdays, but there's nothing delicious to eat during the Chinese New Year."
A woman in her early forties said with a smile.
This woman lost her husband when she was very young, and managed to raise two sons and one daughter.
Now all three children are married.
Luo Erniang admired her perseverance, endurance, good temper, and dexterity with her hands, so she asked her if she wanted to sign a contract with her to learn knitting.
She agreed immediately and lived in this courtyard ever since. .
These people work here for Luo Erniang, and among other things, there is always no shortage of food.
So when it came to the New Year, I asked them what they wanted to eat, but they couldn't think of anything in particular.
Everyone tidied up the yard together, and then went to the house again.
There were several large windows around the house, covered with oil paper with good light transmittance.
During the day, as long as the windows outside the paper windows were opened, That layer of wooden windows makes the whole house very bright.
There is a heated kang burning in the room, and it is very warm.
Sitting here and knitting sweaters will not freeze your hands at all.
Hot water is burning on the kang, and steam is rising from the kettle.
There are kang tables one by one on the long heated kang.
On the table were red date persimmons and various snacks, most of which Erniang bought from outside early this morning because it was Chinese New Year.
On weekdays, they often had snacks in the house, especially on those nights when they needed to work overtime.
A few times, Luo Erniang even opened cans and ate them with them.
There is a little girl here.
When she first came here, she was thin and yellow, and her hands were as big as chicken feet.
She stayed here for less than half a year, and she looked like she had flesh on her face.
His mother came over to visit her.
We were very happy to see her when we were young, and told everyone she met Luo Erniang how good she was.
Although they can't go home during the two days of the New Year, they, a group of ladies and gentlemen, gather at your place to celebrate the New Year.
They are very happy, there is plenty of food and drink, and everyone has new clothes.
Some people actually prefer to celebrate the New Year here, not to mention that every family has a hard-to-recite scripture.
Most of them are from poor family backgrounds.
Poverty is not a sin, but poverty will breed many unbearable things.
Compared with the outside world, this small courtyard seems to have no sorrow.
Staying with these local ladies and ladies in Liangzhou City were the Yin sisters who had come from Lishi.
Luo Erniang didn't have much time of her own, so it was mostly her two who taught others how to knit sweaters.
They are doing it, so although they are young, they are quite respected among these people.
Liangzhou City is so far away from Shixian County, so it is naturally impossible for them to go back to celebrate the New Year with their relatives.
Earlier, they dragged Wang Dang to send them a letter back, but the reply has not yet arrived.
She's grown up.
I don't know how much taller that girl Yin Duo'er has grown.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, a letter was delivered to Luo Erniang.
It was sent from Chang'an City, and the person who sent the letter was Luo Yong.
Luo Yong was also lucky this time.

On the two days when he sent the letter, there happened to be a relatively important document to be sent to Liangzhou City.
The journey was very fast and he arrived in ten days.
Luo Yong's letter happened to catch up with the express train, and on the tenth day of the lunar month, it was delivered to Luo Erniang through someone else.
Luo Erniang was very happy to receive this letter.
Even if she opened it and read it and guessed at the unfamiliar parts, she would probably know the meaning after reading the whole letter.
Sanlang said that he was a teaching assistant at Taixue, and he brought four mothers, five men, six men and seven women with him, as well as five pairs.
They lived in Chang'an City and often met with the aunt and others.
Recently, his brother-in-law Lin Wulang also came.
In Chang'an City, Lin Wulang originally said he was going to visit, but now he works like a long-term worker all day long for Aunt Luo.
Luo Erniang's eyes were a little wet, and she smiled while reading the letter.
When she saw Luo Yong said that she wanted to buy a shop in Chang'an City, and the money on hand was not enough, she asked her if there was any silk here.
When she arrived, Luo Erniang took a few people to the warehouse without even thinking about it.
Since the twelfth lunar month of last year, she has not sold much.
Because the price is not high enough and she is not short of money, she has been hoarding it.
Originally, she was planning to wait until early autumn next year before shipping.
At this time, Saburo's Since Bian needs cash, it is natural to stick to him first.
There is no need to exchange these cashmere sweater trousers for money and silk.
Just transport the sweater trousers directly to Chang'an City, which is much lighter than money and silk.
It must not be difficult to exchange them for some money in Chang'an City.
"These and these, please move them all to the outside."
Luo Erniang asked a few young men who were looking after the yard to help move the goods.
Nowadays, they have more property in their yard than before, and there are more people responsible for guarding the yard than before.
They are all people borrowed from the Zhao family.
For safety reasons, the Zhao family and his son return the house after a while.
I need to get a new batch for her.
"There are so many, Er Niang is going to ship them."
Each set of piles of cashmere sweaters and pants can be worth several years of their wages.
Look at the big warehouse in front of them.
It's full.
If they are all sold, , I don’t know how much it will be worth.
"It's not like shipping goods, just taking some out and using them as money."
Erniang said with a smile.
But he didn't mention to them that this batch of goods was going to be sent to Chang'an City.
She is now a person who has done business, and is no longer as naive as before.
She has also heard about many caravans being robbed, and it is very taboo to leak the news to outsiders before traveling.
The author has something to say: Sorry for being late today.
Seeing as this chapter is quite fat, please forgive me.
I heard that nutrient solution has come out in the past two days.
Give me some water.
I've been at the bottom of the cultivation list again in the past two days. gd1806102:
