Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 559 Tourist Weaving, Red Sleeve Move

After regaining her senses, Dong Qiongying couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, it's okay for us to swim the Qinhuai River, but wouldn't it be good to visit brothels?"

Bi Zhu asked, "Why does Your Majesty want to see Qinhuai's brothels?"

Auntie Zhu looked away from the window and said, "You should know that I want to liberate women, and to liberate women, we must improve women's social status.

Isn't the existence of brothels an insult to women?Why is Bian Yujing in such a catastrophe today?Isn't it because she was a famous prostitute in Qinhuai in the past? "

"Your Majesty won't want to ban brothels all over the world, will you?" Bi Zhu showed disbelief, "It is said that brothels were founded by Guan Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi State, and no brothels have been banned in subsequent dynasties. People all over the world are against it."

On the other side, Hao Guangming interjected at this moment: "Guanzi didn't invent the brothel, Guanzi just created the government-run brothel, of course, it was called Nujian and Nulu at that time.

In fact, this industry was born as early as entering the slave society, that is, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, and even earlier. "

Whether it is Bi Zhu's words or Hao Guangming's words, it is obvious that the existence of brothels is inevitable, and it is difficult or even impossible to be eliminated.

But Auntie Zhu just frowned slightly, and said: "Things that have not been done in the past dynasties, it doesn't mean that Ming Dynasty can't do it, and it doesn't mean that I can't do it.

I often tell my ministers that times have changed, and our thinking should change accordingly.The era is undergoing drastic changes, so some of our inherent concepts should be reversed.

Besides, I am not intending to ban the brothels, but I am going to issue an order to prohibit my Daming girls from engaging in this business.

Those who engage in this industry will be insulted and their dignity will be trampled upon.This is very unfavorable and enhances the social status of women. "

At this time Huque suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what is that man doing?"

As soon as Huque said this, it immediately attracted the attention of several other people in the car.

Huque felt that she might be misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained: "I heard that some people are very masculine, so there are brothels that raise husbands, rabbit masters, etc."

When it came to the end, Huque, a tall and thick woman, also blushed.Of course, she exclaimed that she had wheat-colored skin, and her blushing was not obvious.

After hearing this, Aimee Zhu said decisively: "No man or woman of our Ming Dynasty is allowed to engage in this profession!"

There was a slight silence in the carriage, before Bi Zhu said: "Does your Majesty mean that women other than Daming are fine?"

Hao Guangming on the other side admired: "You want to kill two birds with one stone again—prohibiting women from the Ming Dynasty from engaging in the sex industry will not only improve women's social status, but also allow a small number of women engaged in this industry to turn their attention to other industries, forcing They participate in positive social productive activities.

And tacitly allowing foreign women to engage in this industry is undoubtedly catalyzing human trafficking and encouraging Ming's human traffickers to develop abroad.Wife, your heart is a little dark. "

Auntie Zhu's face turned slightly red when Hao Guangming said it, and then she couldn't help but defend herself: "I did it as a last resort."

When Bi Zhu and the others heard it, they thought Aimi Zhu was talking to them.

After noticing that Auntie Zhu used "I" to refer to herself, and her expression was a little strange, she realized that Auntie Zhu was talking to the "Emperor".

'Could it be that the emperor disagrees with this matter? '

Several people were secretly worried.

Fortunately, Auntie Zhu did not argue with the "dijun", but continued to talk to them.

"You guys are not allowed to reveal anything about what I'm talking about today." Aimee Zhu said with a serious face.

Several people hurriedly responded, "Yes!"

The city was full of people, and the four-wheeled carriages did not travel along the imperial road, so it took twenty minutes to arrive at the Qinhuai River.

April is the time when the world is beautiful, and the Qinhuai River is far more prosperous than usual.There are not only brothel and painting boats, but also people who spend spring on both sides of the river and take a boat tour on the river.

And the existence of these tourists has attracted many merchants.

Some people sell food and drink on the Qinhuai River by boat, and some people set up shops and stalls on both sides of the river to sell various items.

There are so many tourists and the prosperity is like brocade. There is a faint feeling that the famous painting Qingming Riverside Picture has become real, and it is even better.

Whether it is a merchant ship on the river or a shop on the shore, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the brothel painting boat.

It was almost noon at this time, and the hard-working brothel girls had already woken up for business.

Most of them wear bright and cool clothes, or lean on the railing of the building, or stand in the pavilion of the painting boat, talking and laughing, and even boldly waving to passers-by.

There is also the small but exquisite painting boat, the sound of the piano played by the upright officials and the Xiao sound of the blowing came out, so that some scholars who like elegance heard the sound and admired him...
The four-wheeled carriage stopped at a special "parking lot", and Aimee Zhu and the others got out of the carriage and walked towards a nearby brothel.

Most of the brothels along the Qinhuai River are elegant, and naturally they are not cramped together like the clusters of brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs of the capital in the late Qing Dynasty.

Instead, courtyard-style buildings are located on the banks of the river, with many tall doors and storeys, and the eaves and corners are connected, just like the mansions of rich and noble families.Only eye-catching signs and ostentatious girls tell what they are like.

Aimee Zhu took a few people and stopped in front of a brothel named Hongxiu Zhao. Within a minute, someone came out to solicit her, and it seemed that she was an old bustard.

It should be noted that although they are generally dressed as men, they can still be identified as women at a glance, even Huniu is no exception.

However, the old bustard only looked at it for a while, and then came over and asked enthusiastically: "How many young masters are here to gain knowledge? It happens that our Hongxiu Zhao has few customers now, so how many of them can we treat well?"

Through the camera of Aimee Zhu's mobile phone, Hao Guangming discovered that this red-sleeved procuress is not as ugly as in most TV dramas in later generations, but only in her thirties, with a little heavy makeup, but she has a mature charm, which is probably the same when she was young. A red card from a brothel.

She obviously guessed the intention of Aimee Zhu and the others, so she said so.

Auntie Zhu smiled slightly, and said, "The bustard is so familiar, could it be that she has received female guests before?"

"That's right." The old bustard was quite proud, "Our Hongxiu Zhao is a famous brothel by the Qinhuai River. Why haven't any customers recruited us before? There are quite a few young masters who have come to gain knowledge like this."

Hearing this, Hao Guangming could only lament that the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty was probably more open than what was written in later generations.

Auntie Zhu put away her folding fan, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's lead the way—I'm the first one to visit the brothel, but I need to improve my knowledge."

"The young master came to our red-sleeved tricks, it's the right way. We have all kinds of girls here, and there are all kinds of ways to play..."

The old bustard saw that Auntie Zhu was very wealthy, and even the maids who followed her around her had a good temperament, so she made up her mind to serve her well.

Although it is impossible for Aimee Zhu to buy the core services of the brothel, if she is happy, maybe she will just reward her with dozens or hundreds of taels?

The main building of Hongxiuzhao, like most brothels, is a three-story building with internal stairs, surrounded by connected courtyards.

Therefore, there were really not many guests at that time, so the bustard first arranged Zhu Wei to sit down in the lobby of the main building, first served tea, wine and snacks, and then asked: "Which kind of girl do you want to meet first, my lord?"

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "Let's talk about what kind of girls you have here."

　First more.
