Chapter 73 Famous prostitutes don't come to the ground casually!
Xiangfang was also called brothel in ancient times.
Well, what's the brothel? Hi. Let's stop pretending, okay?
Nowadays, pure and good kids can only be found in kindergartens, and we all understand.
Before Liu Zihua became a good man, he was a beauties like famous prostitutes and courtesans. It is natural to know some famous brands and courtesans in Yantai local Xiangfang!
After all, they are all women, with common topics and compassion!
What? You said you look down on such unclean women?
Haha, haha, haha, please let me hikka three times first. It seems that you really don’t understand what ancient courtesans and top cards, and what the representatives of famous prostitutes mean.
Do you think the famous prostitutes and courtesans in the Ming Dynasty were the young models and bar girls in our modern 21st century?
Wrong, big mistakes!
Opening "Jin Ping Mei", prostitutes seem to be everywhere. Ximen Qing and his friends drink and have fun in brothels, celebrate their birthdays in brothels, and discuss business in brothels. During the festive season, prostitutes are also invited to their homes to play and sing to make fun of them. (You can also be invited home openly, haha)!
In fact, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after recuperation in the early Ming Dynasty, the people began to become rich, and the increase in prostitutes was one of the phenomena that followed.
From the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the Chongzhen period, the official even held various prostitute beauty pageants such as the "Lotus Immortal Association", evaluating famous prostitutes, and setting "flower lists".
Ranking: female No. 1, second place, Tanhua... The lively situation is no less than today's beauty pageant or talent show.
(It turns out that being a prostitute, there are also top scorers, second-place winners, Tanhua...)
Prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty were more competitive than wives at home in many aspects. These competitiveness was not only reflected in appearance and clothing, but also in cultural level.
Take the Ximen Qing family as an example: Although his eldest wife Wu Yueniang was born into an official, she could not read.
On the other hand, although Zheng Aiyue was born in a brothel, due to her professional training, she not only was able to play songs and lyrics, but also appreciate poetry. Therefore, many prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty were even able to write literature and martial arts (kung fu?), and could also write poetry and sing with customers. They were comparable to scholars!
The prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty, especially famous prostitutes, had extraordinary skills, and were danced and written in calligraphy and painting. They were not inferior to celebrities. The prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty had noble quality, which also promoted and promoted the emergence and prosperity of Qinhuai culture. Therefore, "the guests were like the city, and they were forced to do so, and they were not allowed to be idle."
It’s no wonder that the men in the Ming Dynasty flocked to brothels.
Can the love (women), second (women) and mistress in the modern 21st century be compared with them?
From a certain perspective, the definition of prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty is not exactly the same as that of prostitutes in the modern 21st century today. This is also the reason for the rise and fall of the two!
Prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty, especially Qinhuai prostitutes, were officially protected and cultivated. They are legally existing social entities and do not deviate from mainstream values.
If you have to convert, the formula is probably like this:
Famous prostitutes (Ming Dynasty) = quasi-sex worker + supermodel + pop singer + beauty pageant + female stars... It's not something you can get as you want!
If you are famous courtesans and famous prostitutes, you are equivalent to those popular female stars or queen-level actresses in the modern 21st century.
People who look down on famous prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty and say that they are not clean is not virgins. First think about whether you like female celebrities very much in the modern 21st century and want to talk to female celebrities XXOO.
Besides, how many female stars or virgins are there in the modern 21st century?
Therefore, Zhu Zilong invited Liu Zihua, a well-behaved prostitute, to be a middleman, and asked her to sell her dressing boxes to famous brothels in the city. It was just like letting Liu Zihua be an agent and ask female celebrities to advertise as spokespersons. This is the same thing.
Liu Zihua did not look down on Zhu Zilong's explanation, and even attached great importance to it.
The next day, I arrived at the largest brothel in Yantai Prefecture City, the Baihua Building.
"The birds stay sleepless at night, and they are solemnly climbing the golden well. At the frost and moon dim, there is no shadow of the two tung trees." In a room in Baihua Building, a woman about eighteen years old, with a jade-like face, slender figure, slender waist, straight legs, and a light blue dress fluttering naturally, with a temperament that is beyond the world.
This beautiful woman, who is not as old as a fairy, has a worldly beauty, like a white lotus rolling with dewdrops, or a fresh snow lotus on a snowy mountain, giving people the feeling of being uninhabited by the world.
There is no shortage of extremely beautiful women in the world, but it is difficult to find such a beautiful woman with a superb temperament. She seems to have jumped out of the mundane world and integrated with the fresh natural world.
In a word, if she hadn't sighed in Baihua Building now, no one would have thought she would be a prostitute in the Ming Dynasty. Instead, she should be a daughter or princess!
"Jing Hui, you have a lot of sighs today!" Outside the room, Liu Zihua came with a gift box and smiled.
The girl who Liu Zihua called Jing Hui raised her eyes and saw the person coming, and smiled on her face, "It turns out that the sister of the Liu family is here. Why don't you see the little girl next to you today?"
"Wanwan heard that her parents were in different health, so she had already left home with her family. I came here today to chat with my sister and brought a gift for her friend." Liu Zihua was not polite, and sat down after explaining with a smile.
After looking at the gift box on the desktop, chatting for a few words, the atmosphere was just right. With Liu Zihua's guidance, Shang Jinghui opened the dressing box.
The next second, Cherry immediately made a surprise "ah" in her mouth. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, then took it carefully in front of the mirror, then turned around and gave a blessing to Liu Zihua, saying, "This gift is too heavy. I am afraid it costs more than a thousand taels of silver. I wonder if my sister's friend is?"
Liu Zihua smiled and said, "My friend doesn't think the gift is heavy, so he gave it to my sister a lot. He said that since ancient times, it is a treasure knife with a hero and a bead with a bead. In the future, if there is a new American product on the landing, we will have to trouble us. Try it first and then promote it. No matter what new product is, it will be free."
"It turns out that my sister's friend is the miracle doctor Mr. Zhu! No wonder, no wonder!" Shang Jinghui immediately showed a look on his face, indeed as expected.
This remark made Liu Zihua blush, and his subtext was self-evident, and the two women immediately started to fight in the room intimately.
After all, near Yantai Prefecture City is not as good as the famous Qinhuai River.
There are few famous prostitutes, and even if they are barely beautiful, they have already been combed together (breaking).
Shang Jinghui was originally a young lady from the official family. If his father had not offended the superiors, his family would have been almost destroyed. On the way back to his hometown, his father fell seriously ill again and urgently needed a large sum of money to treat the disease and collar the relationship. However, his sister was married and far away and could not take care of her.
How could a woman like her who is both talented and beautiful choose to enter the brothel?
They are all for the thug!
The brothel owner has never let her lose her body, and she focuses on being a clerk, not selling her skills. After all, isn’t the girls in this area just to sell for a good price?
(Shang Jinghui, a native of Kuaiji, Zhejiang at the end of the Ming Dynasty. He was dismissed from office in front of the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty. The second daughter of Shang Zhou Zuo, the sister of Shang Jinglan, was of national character, was knowledgeable and skilled in poetry. His poetry forced the prosperous Tang Dynasty and paid attention to the rhythm. He was actually a famous artist. He wrote "Yong Yu Tang Poetry and Grass" and wrote "Chengtang Collection" and so on!)
His father, Zhou Zuo of Shang and Zhou dynasties, was named Mingjian and his pseudonym. He was a juren in the 25th year of Wanli (1597). In the 29th year of Wanli (1601), Zhang Yicheng, a Jinshi, was awarded the title of the magistrate of Shaowu County for 5 years. He was as honest as ice, and his family property was exhausted due to compensation. (A clean official, relatively poor)!
Later, he served as the governor of Fujian. He did not charge a single monday for the people, captured and killed the thieves and fought against the invasion of Japanese pirates. Therefore, on the day he left office, the Fujian people set up a temple for him. (There were many Japanese devils who killed the Ming Dynasty, and they were also considered iron-blooded civil servants!)
However, this is of no use.
Because he was upright and honest, he lost his job and returned home despite his saint's will and had no money. He was seriously ill on the way back. In order to save his father and family, his second daughter Shang Jinghui now has a daughter who has gone to a brothel and becomes a prostitute. Alas!
Zhu Zilong asked Liu Zihua to be a copycat agent, and she chose several famous prostitutes as advertising spokespersons.
Chapter completed!
