Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 560 Talk about the flower list, ask Liu Ying

"That's something to say."

The old bustard started to talk, and simply pulled the chair and sat down.

Of course, she saw that the four of them wanted to protect Aimee Zhu, so she sat opposite Aimi Zhu, not close to each other.

Aimee Zhu said: "Then you should try to be as detailed and comprehensive as possible. If you speak well, I will reward you very much."

After speaking, he signaled to Liu Zhu.

Liu Zhu immediately took out a silver note of 50 taels and put it on the table.

The shot is 50 taels, which is definitely a lot.The old bustard was going to talk casually to fool her, but now she can't wait to tell her everything she knows.

"The Ming Dynasty is vast. There must be some differences in the rules and regulations in the north and south of the country, inside and outside the customs. I can only tell you the rules and habits of this industry in the south of the Yangtze River."

The old bustard said a few general words, and seeing that Aimee Zhu didn't interrupt, she continued, "We in Jiangnan roughly divide the girls into two categories, one is upright officials who sell their art but not their bodies; the other is of course the prostitutes who sell their laughter and their bodies.

Let’s talk about these upright officials first, they were collectively called Shuyu before they debuted, and most of them selected beautiful and intelligent children to raise them from childhood.

Skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., whichever aspect is talented, cultivate that aspect. The more you know, the higher the skill, the more money you can make.Of course, being beautiful, knowing how to greet and send off, and being sophisticated in the world are also necessary.

After Shuyu debuted, they became upright officials, and upright officials also had ranks.

We in Jiangnan like to evaluate the flower list, just like the imperial imperial examinations, ranking according to talent, voice and appearance.

There is only one first class, and she is the well-known oiran, also known as the number one scholar.

There are two in the second class, called Huayin, and they are also called Nubangyan and Nutanhua respectively.

The third class is called Huafu, and there are five of them, all called female Jieyuan.The fourth class is called Huayan, and there are generally eight of them, all of whom are called female bachelors.

The rest of the participants are all called Huanu, also known as Nvshi. "

Hearing this, Bi Zhuo, Dong Qiongying, etc. next to her all showed nervous expressions, for fear that the old bustard would offend Aimi Zhu by comparing women from brothels with imperial court candidates, Jinshi and even officials.

It should be noted that when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.

Although usually not so exaggerated, it is common for dozens or hundreds of people to be unlucky.

However, Auntie Zhu smiled when she heard this, and said, "The status of a bachelor should be much higher than that of a champion, right? There is also a female history, that is the title of a female official in the palace. Aren't you messing around by ranking titles like this?
Also, the rest of the participants can be called flower girls and female history, so what's the point of the flower list? "

Seeing Auntie Zhu's serious comments, Bi Zhu and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

The old procuress explained with a smile: "We are arty, and we are calling it for fun. As for the participants, they are all called women's history-you don't know, the ones who can participate in the flower list are already the top books in the big brothels. lived."

At this time, Hao Guangming on the other side said: "These upright officials are playing with packaging, no different from artists in some of our later companies.

There are many business income-generating models for them, and you can't ask them all. It's better to understand the situation of those real prostitutes.

In our Daming, those women are really miserable and need to be rescued. "

Aunt Zhu nodded slightly, then said, "Tell me about prostitutes."

The old bustard complied with everything, and immediately said: "Prostitutes, we in Jiangnan are generally divided into four categories and third class.

The first of these four categories is actually the Shuyu, they sell their art but not their bodies.The second category is called Changsan, they sell their art as well as their bodies, but their talent is not as exquisite as that of Shuyu, which is worthy of appreciation from guests.

The most important thing about Changsan is that there are distinguished guests who have kept them for a long time, which can actually be regarded as the outer room of our brothel where the distinguished guests are kept.

The third category is called Yaoer. These are the girls with the most numbers in ordinary brothels. They are average-looking and have no talent. They are mainly responsible for receiving some ordinary customers and also for attracting customers outside the door.

The last category is called pheasants, which are actually those prostitutes, or girls in brothels.Of course, there is no pheasant in a high-end brothel like our Hongxiu Zhao. "

After talking about it, the bustard was afraid that Auntie Zhu might misunderstand the red sleeve move, so she deliberately explained something.

"Then what are the three classes?" Auntie Zhu asked.

"It's simple, the first class is called a red card, the second class is called a beauty, and the third class is called a beauty.

Generally speaking, red cards will only be produced among the eldest three girls, and it would be good if there are a few beauties in the second middle school, and the rest can be called beauties. "

Auntie Zhu noticed that some girls were leaning on the railings of the ring corridors on each floor, looking curiously at this side.

So he asked again: "Where do all the girls here come from?"

"This..." the old bustard looked embarrassed and said, "Of course they were sold by themselves, or by their family members, and sent in."

"Is that all?" Aimee Zhu asked.

The bustard smiled and stopped talking.

Aunt Zhu signaled, and Liu Zhu took out another 50 taels of silver note and put it on the table.

The old bustard looked at the banknotes, hesitated a little, and said, "Some of them are also bought from Ren Yazi, but high-end brothels like our Hongxiu Zhao are all bought from decent people. .”

The basic meaning is that there will be no kidnapped girls.

In the current social environment of Ming Dynasty, selling one's body is allowed, whether it is self-selling or being sold by family members.

But abduction and trafficking are cracked down from both the government and the people, because abduction and trafficking in Daming is the same nature as stealing other people's property, and it is more serious.

After being silent for a while, Auntie Zhu said again: "Call all kinds of girls from your place to sit with me, and I'll ask questions."

"Hey, young master, this is really hard for others. Many girls are not getting up now."

The old bustard already realized that Aimee Zhu's intention for coming was not simple, so she refused in a nonsensical manner.However, judging from the way she looked at the bank note, the main reason should be that there is not enough money.

So Auntie Zhu motioned to Liu Zhu again.

Liu Zhu glared at the old bustard sharply, which made the old bustard's heart skip a beat, as if he had met a certain high-ranking official.

But keeping the hundred taels of silver notes that escaped immediately made the madam divert his attention.

"My lord, Lingyin, our top upright official here, is this year's female probationary flower, and seeing her is no less than 300 taels.

If you're interested, I'll invite her over, if you don't, I'll invite an ordinary bookstore, how about it? "

Seeing that the bustard still wanted to make more money, Auntie Zhu was a little speechless, and said: "Just find an ordinary honest official—I'm just curious, just ask some questions, don't be greedy anymore, bustard."

At this time, Liu Zhu couldn't help but said: "That's right, can't you think we can't get these news from outside? Be careful, you won't be able to earn a tael of silver."

"What did you say, the young master, I'm just asking a lot... I'll call you the young master, okay?"

After finishing speaking, the bustard took away the two hundred silver bills on the table with a very skillful gesture, and then called for Aimi Zhu.

Yaoer called seven, Changsan called three, and Shuyu called one.

Originally only Changsan and Shuyu dared to sit down seven or eight steps away from Aunt Zhu, but Aunt Zhu asked the bustard to arrange seats for everyone.

Then there was a seemingly curious question.

For example, how did they enter the brothel, how is their life here, what plans do they have in the future, and so on.

I don't know if it's because the source of the red sleeve move is genuine, or if the old bustard is wary, or because the prostitutes don't trust Aimee Zhu, no one has been trafficked in.

Most of them were sold to Renyazi by their family members when they were young, and then entered the red sleeve move.

There are also a few that are sold by themselves, but it is also a last resort.

Most of the women in such high-end brothels were brought up since childhood, and there really wasn't that kind of girl who sold herself into the brothel to make money because she was too lazy to do it.

Perhaps there are only such women in middle and low-end kilns.

　Second more.

　　Correct the typo later.

　　Good night~
