"May I ask, Sir, is it just that the slaves have stopped singing, or that the songs and dances have also stopped being performed? When Sir, you let a group of sisters rehearse such a shameful song and dance, did you just give up?" Yao Yue blushed and couldn't help but ask. .
"Ahem," Han Du felt embarrassed when Yao Yue said this. In order to force Tianjie Temple to submit, Han Du prepared not only Nie Hai Ji, but also Hexi Praise to Buddha. Hexi Praise to Buddha, also known as Paradise Demon Dance.
Han Du selected Jiaofangsi who were either pure, holy, charming, as cold as ice, etc., women with various styles, including Yao Yue, Xiang Xue, Yan Xue and others. They jointly choreographed a dance of bliss and magic, using various methods known to Han Du to show the ultimate temptation and seduce people's deepest desires.
When this kind of blissful devil dance succeeds, even women like Grandma Li will say they can't stand it. An experienced driver like Han Du only dared to see less than half of it before running away. If he hadn't escaped in time, he might have made a fool of himself in public.
Originally, Han Du was preparing a trump card for Zong Ling because he refused to submit. But God's calculations are not as good as those of man. I didn't expect that Lao Zhu would intervene. Although the result may be somewhat different from Han Du's original idea, it is still barely acceptable to Han Du.
Now that the matter is over, the Heavenly Demon Dance of Paradise will naturally lose its effect now.
"Give up, it's God's will. Maybe that dance really shouldn't appear in the world." Han Du sighed.
Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts and were speechless.
After a while, Han Du came back to his senses and asked: "The matter is over, what are your plans in the future?"
"What, what's your plan?" Yao Yue raised her head in surprise and looked at Han Du in confusion.
Han Du glanced at Yao Yue speechlessly. This was such an important thing to her, but she didn't care at all?
So Han Du said: "You have already resigned from the country. Living in the Jiaofangsi again will not be good for your reputation. Don't you want to leave?"
After hearing what Han Du said, Yao Yue stared at Han Du heartbroken and asked with a tearful voice: "Sir, are you going to drive me away?"
The look of pear blossoms with rain is particularly endearing.
Han Du saw Yao Yue crying. If someone who didn't know what happened saw this, they would think that he had done something to Yao Yue. Suddenly he became a little at a loss and said quickly: "My officer... when did I say that I would drive you away? Aren't you already a good citizen now? If you continue to live in the Jiaofang Division, you will let others What do you think of you?"
"You just want to drive me away!" Yao Yue glared at Han Du and said angrily: "You have told everyone before that the Jiaofang Secretary allows the slaves to stay as long as they want. But now you are saying this, it is not If you want to drive me away, what is that?"
I'm fucking talking to you about things that will affect your reputation, but you're talking to me about driving you away. What are these and what? Two people are obviously talking, how could it become like this, I talk about mine and you talk about yours, not on the same channel at all?
Han Du had no choice but to explain: "No one has said that I will drive you away. I think if you continue to stay in the Jiaofang Division, it will reflect poorly on your reputation. After all, most people in the Jiaofang Division are still cheap. Ji, and you finally got a good title, why do you need to continue to stay?"
The more Han Du talked about persuading, the sadder Yao Yue became. She looked up at Han Du and said with sobs: "To be honest with you, even if Yao Yue is from a good family, she has nowhere to go now. My parents are both dead, and my family They have been confiscated a long time ago, and the previous relatives have long been cut off. If the adults really drive Yao Yue out, Yao Yue will have no choice but to live on the streets and freeze to death and starve to death."
Han Du was speechless after hearing this, indeed, although he didn't know what the situation of Yaoyue's family was like before. But since she, a rich young lady, has come to Jiaofangsi, her former family must be gone. As for relatives, haha, when something happened to her family, they probably lost contact.
How many of the women in the Jiaofang Division are like Yao Yue? Even if they lose their citizenship, what if they have good citizenship? It’s not like there’s nowhere to go.
Moreover, Han Du also learned about all the tragic situations of women in the Jiaofang Division in the past from Grandma Li. It can be said that if the capital is the most prosperous and carefree place in the entire Ming Dynasty, then Jiaofangsi is the eighteenth level of hell for these women.
Many female prisoners, faced with the prospect of going to Jiaofangsi, usually would rather commit suicide than come to this eighteenth level of hell. Of course, more often than not, they don't even have the chance to commit suicide. If they had the chance to commit suicide, maybe the Jiaofangsi that Han Du saw would become empty.
Han Du sighed, stood up, and said, "I've made a mistake. In that case, you can stay if you want. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Yao Yue sobbing continuously, she looked like she was being bullied. Han Du felt that if he stayed any longer, there might be misunderstandings, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Han Du slipped out of the house as if he was running away, and also closed Yao Yue's door.
When Yao Yue saw Han Du leaving, her tears turned into laughter. With an angry face, he muttered in the direction Han Du was leaving, "If you want to drive me away, there is no way."
Then he stretched out comfortably on the bed, let out a long breath, and looked at the top of the bed with two watery eyes. His face showed a shy and smiling expression from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. I pulled it twice with my left hand and touched something. When I brought it to my eyes, I saw that it was preserved fruit. Put it in your mouth and bite it lightly with your teeth, smash it, "Hmm, it's so sweet."
A happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. Two white, long and thin jade legs were overlapped together, and the little feet were swaying happily.
...
Things in Tianjie Temple calmed down just like that, and Jiaofangsi returned to its usual bustle. In the second month, Han Du once again sent Lao Zhu 200,000 yuan into the palace.
The way Lao Zhu looked at Han Du finally looked like an old father-in-law looking at his proud son-in-law. Think about it, if anyone can send 300,000 yuan or 200,000 yuan to Lao Zhu every month. Even if you are a businessman with no status at all, Lao Zhu can give you his daughter in marriage.
You can't blame Lao Zhu for not having a bottom line, it's really because you gave him too much.
Within a few days, Han Du heard a big event from the court.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, wants his troops to return to the court!
Beiyuan Ping Zhang Nai'er Buhua and others invaded the Ming border from the south. Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Wei Guogong Xu Da as the general to conquer the captives, Xin Guogong Tang He as the left deputy general, and Yingchuan Marquis Fu Youde as the right deputy general, and set out in two groups to march north of the Great Wall. With Fu Youde as the vanguard, they defeated the Yuan army at Huishan (now southeast of Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia) and captured many Yuan soldiers and livestock. They also marched to the North Yellow River (i.e. Huanghe River, today's western Liaohe River), and encountered the Northern Yuan army without fighting. He fled and was pursued by the Ming army. Beiyuan Pingzhang Bieli Buhua, Taishi Wentong and others were captured. Li Xuan, the magistrate of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his tribe were captured, and the Ming army conquered all the troops in the northern expedition.
