How dare you scold Ah Shou and my elder brother? Zhu Ying's eyebrows were raised. According to her previous temper, she might have kicked the thin wall open and went to find fault with it. However, at this moment, she took a deep breath and secretly reminded herself that the guests and audiences she wanted to invite had not arrived yet, and she could not start the show early by herself.
Just bear with it for now... I'll beat these bastards to death later!
The Tianxia Taiping Tower was built in the early years of Emperor Taizu. As it was close to Qipan Street, there were always many civil officials and scholars coming and going at first. And because of Emperor Taizu's ancestral precepts, there was nothing that could not be said to others, so all the private rooms were separated by wooden walls and there was no sound insulation at all. If there was any noise, the people next door could knock on the wall to express their protest. Of course, there were also those with bad tempers who would just rush over and curse. Over time, the officials stopped coming.
It was naturally unpleasant to hear someone scolding you next door, but if you went over to argue with a group of scholars, it would be even more humiliating. As for the embarrassing incident of breaking in and finding out that it was a high-ranking official with a higher status than you, it was not unheard of. Therefore, the most common people in Taiping Tower in the world are, first, scholars, and second,... ladies!
Scholars were here to comment on the country, write inspiring articles, and despise the marquises of the past. As for ladies... Nowadays, it is still very popular to pick a son-in-law based on the list, and a truly smart family would definitely not just look at the names on the list to choose a son-in-law, but would make a list of candidates early on, pick out those with a high probability of passing the imperial examination, and report it to the head of the family.
In order to avoid causing resentment among couples, these ladies would naturally come here before this to meet their future ideal husbands. The reason why the word "them" is added is, of course, because they have no way of being sure who that future man will be.
Zhu Ying chose this place to invite people to the party because Princess Yongping often came here. Of course, Princess Yongping was not alone, she would often follow the emperor on a private visit! Without the emperor, Chu Kuan would often come with him. She knew better that Princess Yongping's move was not to see the future prince consort, but to select talents.
From this point of view, she always felt that Princess Yongping was eating the princess's food and worrying about the prince's concerns. She was too idle!
As for whether there would be any safety issues in such a public place, she also knew a piece of news that would make all the scholars here so excited that they would jump off the building.
The Tianxia Taiping Building, which was inscribed with the plaque written by Emperor Taizu himself, was not what was claimed to be the property of civilian merchants who had worked hard to raise military funds for Emperor Taizu. It was the property of the royal family. The emperor told her this himself. Otherwise, the capital had changed so many emperors, and often the people who sat on the throne were not from the same family. How could this place exist again and again
Not only does the building exist, but even the wooden walls, which were never soundproofed, remain the same and no one has ever changed them.
At this moment, Zhu Ying, who was sulking, suddenly heard a cough from outside. Then, the door curtain was raised, and the waiter who had delivered tea before came in with a smile on his face and brought a pot of wine. Normally, Zhu Ying, who didn't like drinking, would directly give it to the two guards standing by, but at this moment, she took the wine pot without thinking.
