Weishui Riverside.
Zhang Chao and Qingluan walked side by side, strolling along the river.
"Thank you today, thank you for working so hard for me" Qingluan turned his head to look at Zhang Chao, smiled slightly, reached out to take his hand, and pulled him forward.
"You are my Axia, of course I have to stand up for you, otherwise, I will be ridiculed."
Zhang Chao smiled, let her hold his hand, and kept up with her footsteps.
"Dongnuguo's request, I will definitely explain it to His Majesty the Emperor for you, and I will help you facilitate this matter."
On the side of the Weishui River in Layue, there is actually no scenery to see.
The wind was very cold and the river was frozen.
The grass on the side has long since withered, and the willows by the river are bare.
But Qingluan felt that all this was very good, and when he arrived near Chang'an, it was already densely populated, and one village after another was like a huge village connected together.
"Chang'an is so lively" "There are still dozens of miles away from Chang'an, Xiweiqiaoji, just a small market.
When you arrive in Chang'an, you know what is called the majestic Chang'an.
When the time comes, I will take you to visit the eastern and western markets, where there are countless commodities, all over the world, all over the world. ” "Okay."
She just turned her head and said a word to him.
"I heard that you were promoted again, but I haven't congratulated you yet."
"Nothing."
Qingluan stopped, "I heard that you won't go back to Taozhou again" "Well, I'll go to Liangzhou in the future."
"Is it far from Liangzhou to Taozhou?"
"It's not far, it's only 1,200 miles."
Qingluan's smile decreased, 1,200 li, from the royal city of the queen kingdom to Taozhou, it is 1,600 li, and now there are 1,200 li from Taozhou to Liangzhou, that is, 2,800 li.
"How far is 1,200 miles" "It is the distance from Taozhou to Chang'an" "Then I won't see you again."
Zhang Chao turned around, looked at her and said, "How can it be, I will be in Chang'an at the end of every year in the future, usually in Liangzhou, less than three thousand miles away from your daughter's country, and it will be more than a month away, if you are free, you can come to Chang'an or Liangzhou to find me at any time." ” Three thousand miles, the fast horse is only ten days and a half months.
But if it's a caravan, the road over there is difficult, and it takes half a year to make a round trip.
"Let's go play on the ice," Qingluan said suddenly.
Zhang Chao looked at the ice on the Wei River and seemed to be very thick, seeing that she wanted to play, so he agreed.
The two went down to the ice on the river, the ice was very bad, Zhang Chao fell a few times, but Qingluan was really as dexterous as a bird, although there were no skates, she walked very steadily, and even had a graceful spin.
"Qingluan, there is a kind of skates, which are specially designed to walk on ice, and there are skates on the soles of the shoes, which can make people dance on the ice.
If you put on skates, you will be able to jump on the ice very well. ” "Okay, I remember, I'm waiting for your skates.
When the time comes, I'll definitely wear it and do the best dance for you. ” The two played for a long time, and Qingluan reluctantly pulled Zhang Chao, who had fallen for an unknown number of times, back.
In the camp, there is a lively and festive scene.
The emperor rewarded, there was wine and meat, and everyone ate and drank well.
Cui Yingying saw Zhang Chao go out with Qingluan and came back very late, so she didn't ask.
He just brought him a plate of roasted golden lamb and a jug of wine.
"It's freshly baked, it's fragrant, you can eat it too."
You haven't eaten all day. ” Zhang Chao looked at Cui Yingying, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only turned into two words, "Thank you" Over there, Zhang Chao saw that his father was talking and laughing with Qi Niang.
Qi Niang is an ordinary peasant woman, and she is still married for the second time.
Now that her husband is the founding uncle, she has also been awarded the title of county king.
Because she is not Zhang Chao's biological mother, so before Zhang Chao was promoted all the way to the rank of knight, only Cui Yingying got the decree, and now with her husband's meritorious title, she also got the decree, and she was overjoyed.
Du Shi Niang didn't have an order, but she also got the benefit this time.
The emperor granted Zhang Chao eight concubines.
Most people call concubines and concubines together, but in the Tang Dynasty, concubines were actually different.
The Prince's House, the Lady is a side room outside the main room, and has a side room according to the grade.
For example, the prince can have ten concubines, two and eight, three and six, four and four, and five and three.
This grade is not the grade of an ordinary official, but the grade of a knighthood.
With a third-grade official, if there is no title, they are not qualified to have a concubine, they can only take concubines but not concubines.

Zhang Chao, the county duke, is a lord from the second grade, and he can accept eight people.
The wife is also known as the lower wife, the side chamber, or the little wife.
The status is very different from that of a wife, but it is much better than a concubine.
Ordinary concubines do not say to marry, but to accept and buy.
The Tang people mostly call buying concubines but not marrying wives, and those who have concubines but no wives in the family are still called unmarried.
Even the law strictly prohibits concubines as wives.
Although in principle, concubines must be regarded as beloved, not beloved, and are not even qualified to be concubines, but can only be slaves, maids, music girls, kabuki, and housekeepers, but concubines are cheap.
The status of the concubine is higher than that of the concubine, and she is also protected by the law, has certain property rights, etc., and generally speaking, the birth of the concubine is also higher.
The Tang Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, wives, wives, concubines, and those who have no name, Tongfang, concubines, housekeepers, singers and dancers, etc., in fact, their status is the same as that of slaves and maids, but they generally don't need to work.
And those who are used by the owner, but still have to work, are not even stained on the edges, and they are still Yahuan.
Under this strict hierarchy, Du Caiwei was suddenly promoted from the original girl to a wife, and the improvement of this status is huge.
For her, this is simply equivalent to Zhang Chao becoming the founding county magistrate.
And for the child in her womb, it is even more terrible, after her child is born, she will be a concubine.
Du Caiwei's stomach has not yet been conceived, her face is full of red rhyme, as if she has drunk wine, sitting next to Zhang Chao, very gentle, and happily pouring wine and tea for Zhang Chao and Cui Yingying.
"San Lang, that girl in the red line is also very hard at home, and you have to lift her up this time."
Zhang Chao has become a national prince and has a quota of eight concubines, and Cui Yingying has not forgotten her good sister red line.
"This is natural, when you get home, make up a banquet for them, Cai Wei and Red Line can invite some of their sisters and friends to come over, I won't bother, let them toast you a cup of tea."
Zhang Chao said with a smile.
Although there are eight places, Zhang Chao has no intention of giving people indiscriminately for the time being.
She knew that Cui Yingying took the things in the backyard more seriously.
It's not that she likes to take power, but it's an affirmation of a hostess.
Giving Du Siniang a concubine was Cui Yingying who took the initiative to mention it.
Zhang Chao knew that she would take the initiative to mention it, so he didn't say it first and kept waiting.
Cui Yingying took the initiative to lift Du Shi Niang, and she wanted to raise the red line, it didn't matter.
But Cui Yingying didn't mention that she wanted to lift two orchids, and Zhang Chao couldn't say it.
"Thirteen Niang, you see that Cai Wei and Red Line are being concubines, it is better to raise Alisa and Diana as concubines."
Zhang Chao took a knife and sliced a piece of mutton for Cui Yingying, and said with a smile.
Cui Yingying is very satisfied with her husband's respect for herself, the male protagonist and the female protagonist have their own division of labor in the family, which can reconcile yin and yang.
Her husband's position is getting bigger and bigger, but she is very happy with the respect he always has for herself.
When she was happy, she didn't care about her husband's occasional flowers and grass outside, or Qingluan or the like.
"Since Saburo wants to promote the two of them, I have no reason to object.
These two people are also fateful, they were originally slaves, and in the ordinary prince's house, they are also a singer and dancer, a housekeeper, and they can give it away at any time, but when they arrive at our house, they have become treasures.
Now, they are still being lifted. ” Zhang Chao smiled and accompanied.
The family of the Tang Dynasty prince likes to raise kabuki, also known as houseplay, and many people raise hundreds of them.
For example, Yang Su, the powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty, once raised a young and beautiful housekeeper for hundreds of years, and Li Jing's wife was a housekeeper in Yang Yue's mansion, because she was a foreman, she often held a red whisk, so it was called a red whisk.
Later, he ran with Li Jing at night, which was also a legendary story.
There is even a story of reunion in Yang Su's mansion.
Yang Suping Chen made great contributions, and Emperor Wen rewarded many princesses of Nanchen with kings and meritorious soldiers, and kept a few for himself.
Yang Su was assigned a princess, this princess had a husband in Nanchen, and when she arrived at Yang Su's mansion, Yang Su was also very good to the princess.
But the princess's husband later found Chang'an all the way, and when they separated, he once broke a bronze mirror in half, and agreed to recognize each other in the future.
The concubine knew that the princess was in Yang Su's mansion, so he took half a bronze mirror to the edge of Yang Su's mansion every day to sell, and his strange behavior finally let the princess know.
The princess found an opportunity to escape and run away with the horse, and Yang Su sent someone to chase her, and when she heard the story, she was greatly moved, and gave gold and silver to the princess and the horse to let them leave.
It has become a custom for the Tang people to keep their housework, and they also like to give it away.
When a guest comes, he asks the housekeeper to come up and sing and dance, and if a guest sees what he likes, he will give the person to the guest directly.
This kind of behavior is called bold and generous by the Tang people.

Zhang Chao found it difficult to accept, how could his own people give away casually, let alone his own housework, even if he was an ordinary slave and servant, he couldn't give it away casually.
It is said that there was also this kind of atmosphere in the Song Dynasty, and a concubine sent away by Su Dongpo is said to be pregnant when she left.
The two orchids were originally just family tricks in the Zhang family, and they were not born as good people.
But Zhang Chao's current status is not to accept them as wives and wives, but to be promoted as a concubine, which doesn't matter much.
"Half a year has passed, and when I go back to Chang'an, I feel that it has changed a lot."
Zhang Chao sighed.
When he left, he was just a free landlord who was thinking about copying books and repairing history, running the first newspaper of the Tang Dynasty, building a workshop, a wine workshop, and a printing workshop, and making money to buy land.
But now that he has come back, he has suddenly become a high-ranking official and important minister of the Tang Dynasty.
It was Zhang Chao who left, but he came back as Li San.
"I really like this change, our family is getting more and more prosperous, and next year, we will add a few small ones to our family, and it will be more and more lively" Cui Yingying smiled with a smile on her face. t1706231537:
