My girlfriend is Fairy Chang'e

Chapter 651 Check What?

"This second level?"

Mother Du smiled and said, "Senior officer, this is the second hurdle, which is to look at the appearance. What we want is a girl with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and a pretty body. For example, Qingmei means clear eyebrows, and the tip of the eyebrows cannot be downward, so as not to be born with a natural look." The appearance of crying, the guests are not happy when they see it, and the women who serve meat customers cannot have unlined eyebrows. Women with unlined eyebrows have poor bed delivery skills and lack of shy gestures. Fame, and beautiful eyes don't necessarily need their eyes to be big and charming, as long as they are thin and smooth, it doesn't matter if they are attractive, purple or black lips are absolutely unacceptable, such women are life-threatening, guests Very taboo."

As she was talking, a woman next to her touched her two curved eyebrows involuntarily. Shi Fan laughed: "This girl's willow eyebrows are as curved as distant mountains, and her fragrant lips are as delicate as peach red. She looks like Wangfu at first glance." Mutually."

"Thank you son!" The girl blushed, showing a shy expression.

"Pass the level!" Mama Du shouted, and the girl immediately passed the second level with great joy.

"Haha, it's really unique." Shi Fan also couldn't help feeling that the ancients talked too much, and there are so many exquisite things in recruiting a girl in a brothel. .

"I don't know what else to test in this third test?" Shi Fan asked curiously.

Mother Du laughed and said, "Do high-ranking officials also want to hear about those women's matters? I'm afraid that high-ranking officials don't like to hear it.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing what Du's mother said, Shi Fan's curiosity was aroused instead. As a modern person, he was afraid of being fooled, so he laughed, "It's okay, just say, if three people go together, there must be my teacher, my lord is upholding The attitude of learning, um... learning, hehe!"

"It's a high-ranking official!" Mother Du didn't dare to offend, and continued: "This third pass is mainly to determine the grade of the selected girl. Officials, please look over there. Isn't that covered with a curtain? Girls who have passed the first two tests have to take off their clothes for inspection. First of all, it depends on whether the body is slim and slender. For example, the width of the shoulders is one foot six inches. The buttocks are three inches less than the width of the shoulders, and the length from the shoulders to the top of the fingers is two feet seven inches. , the fingers are four inches from the palm, small and popular, the length from the leg to the toe is three feet two inches, the length of the foot is eight inches, the shins and nails should be fat and colorful, the soles of the feet are flat, the toes are short, and there are no sunspots and spots. pock."

After talking too much, this Mama Du's throat was a little dry, she took a drink from the side, and then continued: "In addition, we must observe the hair, soft but not thin, not red or yellowish brown, such a woman, the guest thinks It will damage the yang and the body, and it will even lead to disaster. If such a girl insists on staying, she can only do things like serve tea and water, and wait around the table. They are not allowed to receive guests. only then can they teach them piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, poetry, and manners.”

"Wow, it's much more expensive than a modern beauty pageant."

Shi Fan couldn't help sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Mother Du, don't be so cautious, as long as you are clever and pretty, that's enough."

Mother Du waved her hands and laughed, "Not only that, our business is getting more and more prosperous, and we have to recruit many girls. Teacher Shi told me to take advantage of the large number of applicants to screen them out and train them early. In the future, we It needs to be used for clearing the market and the meat market here, and it needs a lot of manpower, even those girls who know poetry, song and fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have some basic knowledge, have to be taught again."

"Uh, it's so thoughtful!" Shi Fan looked at the girls in skirts and ordinary clothes in the crowd, and said solemnly: "Mother Du, then you must make it clear to them that some of the applicants should come from good families. , What to do after being hired, must be made voluntarily, not forced, and must not be forced into prostitution."

"The senior officials are worrying too much!" Du's mother said with a smile: "I naturally know that I will not force girls who are reluctant, and I am afraid that my life will be lost. If I don't hide it from the senior officials, I will tell them all these things. I understand. Even those girls from good families who are not from other brothels actually hope to be selected, and no one will cry and be reluctant."

In fact, what Mama Du said was the truth, but Shi Fan still had a lot of bad impressions under the influence of the brothels recorded in modern books, thinking that the status of this lowly profession was low, and the women who held this lowly profession were either promiscuous or promiscuous, or She loves leisure and hates work, otherwise she must be a woman who was trafficked, pushed into a pit of fire, and tortured.

In fact, this is not the case. In the Song Dynasty, the brothel industry not only accommodated modern brothels, but also matched places such as dance halls to a certain extent. Many women still have the opportunity to climb high branches and change their lives completely, so voluntary employment still accounts for the majority.

The prosperity of the Song Dynasty was well-known throughout the dynasties. Regardless of the small size of the country, the economic aggregate converted into purchasing power was incomparable even in the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the national industry had already taken shape, such as loom technology. Sophisticated, certain technologies are difficult to achieve in modern times.

In the Ming Dynasty, the national industry has been greatly developed, and the military even has the Shenji Battalion. The muskets used are more advanced than the British and French powers that burned the Old Summer Palace. Some people say that they died in Wanli. Slander, Ming Wanli was an extremely enlightened period in history, Ming Shenzong was a person who can be called an emperor through the ages, speech is extremely free, and the cabinet-style court is talked about even in modern times.

On the contrary, during the Qing Dynasty, history books were destroyed and revised by compiling the Siku Quanshu. The literary inquisition is terrible.The end of the freedom of speech during the Wanli period was that the literary and historical officials dared to speak and record, which magnified Wanli's shortcomings.You didn't even have the right to record in the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty.

In the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, China began a prosperous age in the true sense. Famous generals were like clouds, and there were few defeats in internal and external wars. After Wanli, Jin could only be regarded as a border problem, far from being a threat. , Warships can directly hit the Japanese pirates' homeland, and Ming Zheng crossed the Taiwan Strait and defeated the Dutch.

During the period from the opening of Longqing in 1567 to the end of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, the total amount of silver that flowed into Ming Dynasty from overseas was about 3.53 million taels. Two-thirds of the global trade was related to China. Almost all the silver captured by Spanish colonists in South America was through trade. The situation finally flowed into Huaxia.

On the other hand, the secluded country since the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong heydays is the root cause of modern backwardness.
