175. Chapter 175 Prostitution
Since ancient times, the Qinhuai River has given birth to countless talents from the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, how many famous Qinhuai prostitutes have made these talents infinitely popular!
In ancient times, "prostitute" means "skill", and "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue." Therefore, usually women cannot study, so some women learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become proficient in calligraphy and ink, which becomes a livelihood occupation.
Brothels appeared, and each brothel had an oiran. Not everyone could meet those oirans and top girls, and they had to be admired by the person's literary talent or pleasing to the eye!
Therefore, in ancient times, visiting brothels was a fashionable cultural enjoyment pursued by wealthy people on romantic occasions. The so-called Qinhuai famous prostitutes were the brothel girls along the Qinhuai River. The most well-known ones are the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty.
—Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan
, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, Kou Baimen, Ma Xianglan, all of them are talented and beautiful. It is conceivable that if brothels were just a place for men to hang out, there would not be so many stories of talented and beautiful women passed down in history.
Got it!
It was only in the modern era that "broilers" began to appear. Those so-called "young ladies" were women who legally provided sexual services. After the founding of New China, the "Abolition of the Four Olds" campaign banned the use of "brotheles" and "brothels".
legality, so the "kiln sisters" sell their bodies
The business gradually turned into a black market business. Then, with the influence of reform and opening up and Western culture, Guangdong and other coastal cities first nicknamed "prostitutes" as "chickens". Various dance halls, nightclubs, and shampoo rooms began to "sell dog meat under the guise of sheep's heads."
”, making those special services clearly available again!
Cheng Mingxuan came from a wealthy family, so after the girl's suggestion, he probably knew that the hostess of this family must be a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River. As for whether this person was a "performer" or a "prostitute", he knew
I don’t know, maybe because of the war or some other reason, I ended up living in this small county and was forced to become a prostitute.
Sure enough, after singing the ditty, Cheng Mingxuan heard the voices and laughter of men next door, as well as the legendary nine girls singing and laughing.
After a while, there was the sound of moans and temples grinding between the beds and the rocking of the bed boards. Especially after the sound of gunfire in the distance disappeared, the sounds of begging for peace in the main hall next door were particularly penetrating, like the man and woman separated by a wall.
Every breath he took was clearly audible, which made Cheng Mingxuan's whole body feel uncomfortable. This was probably the so-called feeling of burning with desire!
He could even feel his own body stirring, but he didn't understand why people could still have such despicable and dirty desires in such a situation!
After some time, Cheng Mingxuan almost fell asleep sitting there, and finally heard the heavy door opening from the main hall. Then, he saw the middle-aged man wearing "yellow leather" walking through the door of the main hall.
When he came out, he hummed the ditty that the ninth girl had just sung, adjusted the belt around his waist as he walked, and finally walked away contentedly.
"Chunping! Put the bath water on me!" A crisp cry came from the main hall.
"Hey! Here we come!" The girl just now was in a hurry to get out of the wing, but then she looked back at Cheng Mingxuan and said, "Hey, just stay here for a while. Don't mess around if I don't call you.
Run, do you hear me?"
Cheng Mingxuan nodded to the girl knowingly, "Okay, go ahead!"
