When the crying in the hall stopped for a while, Zhu Gaoxu talked to the man in gray short coat at the next table and asked if there was anyone with the surname Tang nearby. The man immediately responded, saying that there was a place called Xiguan to the west, close to the lake, where many people with the surname Tang lived.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately became interested and asked directly if he knew a woman named Tang Sai'er. The man didn't know, but he kindly suggested that there was a matchmaker in Xiguan who knew many young women and men, and he could go and ask the matchmaker; asking her would be better than asking the head of the village, because the head of the village usually only knew the men in his jurisdiction.
Duan Xuehen seemed a little curious about Zhu Gaoxu's question about a named woman, so she turned to look at him, but she didn't say anything. When the villagers brought the food one after another, Duan Xuehen ate it first and then put it into the bowl
Led by the village head, Zhu Gaoxu and a group of more than ten people arrived at the place and saw a group of people gathered outside a courtyard, surrounding an old man in a long robe.This should be Tang Sai'er's home. The roof of the courtyard was covered with tiles. As expected, her family did not seem to be very poor. Because along the way, Zhu Gaoxu saw thatched houses in some villages occasionally.Zhu Gaoxu and his companions dismounted and walked over. The old man in the long robe knelt on the ground with a few others and bowed, saying, "My surname is Tang, and I am an elder from this village. Your Excellency is passing through Bi's village, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. May I ask your name?"However, the villagers who were watching did not salute or kneel, but stood around, watching the conversation between the village elder and the official as if they were watching a play. Asari, who was traveling with them, was a Semu person, a
Asari observed Zhu Gaoxu who was lost in thought. When he fell silent, the whole room fell silent, and Asari thought of the windless lake.Recently, she saw the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty with her own eyes, and she felt very different from before. Asari originally thought that Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was a brave, violent, and cunning person; because of Zhu Gaoxu's personal expedition to the north and the rescue of them this time, she inevitably had such an impression.However, her feelings over the past two days were completely the opposite. Zhu Gaoxu's bravery seemed to be only reflected in his sturdy and strong appearance.Perhaps because of this, Zhu Gaoxu, the emperor of an enemy country, made her feel at ease, and her previous worries gradually diminished. She only felt that Zhu Gaoxu was a kind, gentle and compassionate man.Asari took the initiative and said , "His Majesty the Emperor may want me to reveal some inside information, but I really don't
Tuo Huochi was so angry that his hands were shaking.He had never expected that a woman could suddenly make him so angry. Perhaps it was because what Ashari said was right, hitting his sore spot and revealing the selfish side of him that he was unwilling to admit.When Tuohuochi spoke generously of his ambitions and aspirations, describing his deeds as great and his sacrifices for the greater good of the tribe, Asari exposed him in person for having thought of a way out long ago. This was simply exposing his shortcomings. It seemed to have degraded Tuohuochi's character from the most noble to the most hypocritical.Tuohuochi did think that if he was caught by the Oirat, he might be redeemed. But the truth made him even angrier.He was extremely angry at this moment, and for a moment he didn't even know whether he wanted to hide it from others or deceive himself.But when Asari retreated to the door, Tuo Huochi had quickly changed from extremely a
The sun has dropped to the horizon, leaving only a ray of light on the earth. Most of the houses in the village don't have good lighting, and the light inside is even dimmer now.Asari and Duan Xuehen walked into the main room together and found that Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was sitting alone, with no one else around him. There was a dark wooden table above, with chairs on either side. Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair on the left. He changed into a red Tuanlong uniform and wore a black gauze hat on his head.Two women came in from the door, and Zhu Gaoxu must have noticed them. However, he did not look at Asari and the others. He just sat there with his eyes lowered and his hands clasped together beside his forehead, as if he was thinking about something."Your Majesty, Concubine Khan is here." Duan Xuehen squatted slightly and saluted.Zhu Gaoxu changed his posture, leaned his back on the chair, and looked at Asari.Ashari said, "The emperor deliberately ang
Dinner was late, and when Duan Xuehen came out of the courtyard where Zhu Gaoxu lived, night had completely fallen.The first two nights, Duan Xuehen lived in the same courtyard with the Mongolian Khan's concubine Asari so that she could travel with her every day. Now that the task assigned to her by the emperor had been completed, Duan Xuehen no longer needed to care about the Khan's concubine. She went straight back to another place and prepared to rest.Duan Xuehen walked along the brightly lit dirt road in the village and opened a simple courtyard door nearby. Most of the houses on both sides were earthen walls with hip roofs and narrow eaves, which were very different from the houses in the capital and Yunnan. Duan Xuehen glanced at the small window of the room to the east and saw that the light was still on inside, so he guessed that the Annan man Chen Xianzhen had not yet gone to bed.Duan Xuehen took the initiative to arrange Chen Xianzhen's residenc
Earlier, when Zhu Gaoxu left Zhangde Mansion, he had already issued an order to the Chief Envoy of Peiping and the Chief Envoy of Shandong to order the generals in the north to report on their duties in Peiping.The Liaodong Dusi (near Liaoyang) had also received the order, and then ordered the generals to set off southward.The capital commander of Liaodong Dusi is called Cao Yi. He has been the capital commander for several years since the last years of Hongwu. The emperor's recent tour to the north and summoning the generals to report on their duties seemed to be relatively normal, but Cao Yi felt a little uneasy.Today, he was thinking about this matter in the government office again, when he was informed that He Hao, the lieutenant general of Daning City, wanted to see him. Cao Yi immediately said to the guard, "You are welcome."He Hao was also one of the people who had to report on his work, but he first came to Liaodong Dusi. It was obvious tha
The grazing land of Wuliangha Sanwei is in the northeastern region, located on the east side of the Greater Khingan Mountains (called Halawen Mountain at this time), and mainly operates in the Nen River (called Naowen River at this time) and Songhua River basins. Among them, the Fuyu Guard area where General Ji'er is located is located in the northernmost part of the three guards.General Ji'er looked very serious. He sat on a chair and leaned forward to face Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Before I left, the commander Haisha Nandaxi told me to let His Majesty know that the Fuyu Guards were in a very dangerous situation."Zhu Gaoxu nodded without saying anything.General Jier continued, "It is said that Emperor Taizong had promised to allow the Three Guards to go south and obtain Daning City and the surrounding land. This statement is not known to be true or false, but it has been widely circulated. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he did not do so. Many peop
There were many inherent problems in the rules of the Weisuo formulated by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Even though the Ming Dynasty has only been established for less than 50 years, the Weisuo military system has not yet been completely corrupted, but there are already signs that it is difficult to maintain. The fact that the military households have been fleeing for a long time and would rather become refugees is very telling.Zhu Gaoxu also understood this. When Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, he had to re-establish order in all aspects. There were so many things that were inevitably unreasonable. It was just that later generations had to continue to make improvements, and it was obviously not possible to stick to the ancestral system.At noon the next day, Zhu Gaoxu hosted a banquet for civil and military officials in the central hall of the old courtyard, including the noble ministers accompanying the army, officials from the three Beiping offices,
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
