Ma Cheng heard the current affairs next door start to talk about, so he quickly leaned back in his chair and leaned his ear on the wall to listen carefully.

After the young Xiucai finished speaking just now, a middle-aged man stood up and said: "What Brother Chongwu said is very right, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 270 years, and there has never been a traitor like Ma Shiying, so I have to learn from Yang Yongxiu, stand up and use the voice of my generation to call on people of insight in the court to stand up and fight back against the traitor Ma Shiying!" ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the room was cold for a while, and a young voice said, "Brother Yue Fang, this is not good!" Although Ma Shiying coerced the Son of Heaven, after all, the edict of the Son of Heaven, if we go too far, we will easily be accused of destroying the national talent canon! ”

The middle-aged brother Yue Fang sneered: "Hmph, you have a good teacher when Wang Shengshi, what are you going to take the exam this time?" Why don't you ask your teacher to go to Ma Cheng and arrange a position directly for you? ”

That Wang Sheng said angrily: "Brother Yue Fang, the younger brother is deeply taught by Master Chen, but his fame is all obtained by his own hard work, and this township test must also rely on his own efforts, and he will definitely not go any way!" ”

Ma Cheng heard this Wang Shengshi say this, could it be that his teacher was his acquaintance? There are only a few scholars under Ma Cheng, and only Chen Zilong can teach students, just now this Wang Shengshi said that his teacher's surname is Chen, and it seems that he is a student of Chen Zilong, so he has the opportunity to ask Chen Zilong.

At this time, the person named Yan Ji in the next room spoke: "Don't quarrel with a few virtuous brothers, listen to the foolish brother!" Although Ma Shiying is a traitor, his son Ma Cheng is a general, and the results of 10,000 to 400,000 are rare in history, if such a fierce general can be used by the emperor, it is the luck of the country! ”

The Vietnamese brother snorted coldly: "Hmph, 10,000 breaks 400,000 is a lot, this can't be fully believed!" But you've all heard of the kind of official gentry that Ma Cheng made in Suzhou, isn't this asking for the lives of our scholars? ”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Yue Fang said is the same as my father, my father also doesn't like Ma Cheng's official gentry to pay for food in one piece, so he is not optimistic about Ma Shiying!"

At this time, Wang Shengshi said: "Although it is not good for the scholars to pay grain for the officials and gentry, it is definitely a good government for the people of the country, and only by solving the land annexation can the state collect more taxes and solve the chaos in the north!" ”

"Hmph, it seems that Wang Shengshi learned a lot from your teacher Chen Zilong, and also learned the new term land annexation, do you Wang Shengshi want to be Ma Cheng's pawn? You pay taxes on your family's 3,000 acres of land first! ”

was robbed of a few words by that Vietnamese brother, this Wang Shengshi looked angry, and said loudly: "Brother Yuefang, don't worry, my teacher sold all his family property in order to resist the northern captives, and only then did he gather thousands of rebels!" If the court needs my Wang Yuan to do this, then my Wang Yuan will never give up, and he will definitely not take a step back! ”

Ma Cheng nodded secretly after hearing this, it seems that Chen Zilong's disciple is called Wang Yuan, pay attention to it in the future, how can this kind of talent stay in the countryside?

Ma Cheng originally wanted to listen, but as soon as the door opened, he came back after pouring out the fire. There was a sound in the house, and Ma Cheng couldn't hear what was going on in the next room, so Ma Cheng had no choice but to move the chair back and whispered: "Brother Zhang, go back and investigate, some of these actions are organized to be unfavorable to our family!" ”

Zhang Erpei didn't expect Ma Cheng to inquire and understand in such a short time, so he quickly nodded and wrote it down.

Here

After the matter was done, Ma Cheng was about to stand up and go home, but Zhang Erpei stopped Ma Cheng and said: "Second master, since you have come out, wait for a while, and you will have to choose an Oiran in half an hour!" There are a few good goods in this Oiran today, among which the highest voice is Qi Biaojia's daughter, and the second master doesn't want to see it? ”

In the Wuzi coup a few months ago, Qi Biaojia, Huang Daozhou and several other Donglin party members were killed by Ma Cheng, and the emperor was forced to issue an edict saying that several of them had rebelled, and Ma Cheng was not guilty of killing them. Ma Cheng is fine, but the families of Qi Biaojia and others are unlucky.

Rebellion is the first of the seven evils, not to mention the three tribes, the underage men and women in the family must be exiled. However, now the territory of the small court in Nanjing is only Nanzhili and Zhejiang, so the exile was changed to the distribution of the Jiaofang Division as a slave.

As soon as Ma Cheng heard that Qi Biaojia, who he hated the most, and his daughter was still alive, and he was still a slave in this sect, thinking of the shame of Qi Biaojia beating him back then, Ma Cheng thought hatefully: Since this is the case, Lao Tzu will not leave, no matter what you say tonight, you will have to find a place back on your Qi Biaojia's daughter!

Since Ma Cheng was not ready to leave, he returned to the house and sat down, drinking tea and chatting with Zhang Erpei, while thinking about how to put Qi Biaojia's daughter at the mercy of eighteen appearances.

Time passed quickly, half an hour passed quickly, and a turtle man wearing a green coat and a green turban came to the cloud platform in the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen! Today is the first time to choose an oiran after middle age, a total of eleven oirans participated in today's competition, there are the adopted sons of the teaching department, as well as the daughters of the convicts, please watch! ”

After the turtle man finished speaking, more than a dozen women came up from the backstage, all dressed in fancy clothes, and at the same time, the troupe under the gimbal began to accompani, making it the same as the catwalk in later generations. Ma Cheng looked at the ancient beauty pageant, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart, it seems that the ancient people were also very good at playing, and the kind of catwalk in later generations was not the first of its kind.

These eleven girls are all from fifteen to eighteen years old, which is the prime of life, and in later generations these are junior and senior high school students, but I didn't expect that they were all adults in the Ming Dynasty.

After the collective appearance, these eleven women began to perform their talents separately, and the old and young in the box on the second floor under the cloud platform and around them, one by one, lost their previous calmness, and began to talk loudly about the appearance and expertise of these women.

Ma Cheng asked Zhang Erpei, it turned out that this is how the Oiran came, rich people buy flower baskets of various prices to give to the woman they like, and finally the woman gets a large number of flower baskets and becomes an Oiran, naturally the woman also has to express to the master who sent the most flower baskets, and spend a good night together.

After listening to it, Ma Cheng summed up in his heart, isn't this similar to Guo Degang's cross talk in later generations? It's just that the later generations will be more civilized, and Guo Degang can't spend a good night with you. In fact, Ma Cheng didn't know that Guo Degang's rules were the rules of the pear orchard, and the pear orchard was also greatly influenced by the prostitution * prostitution in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At this time, it was already the fourth woman to come to the stage, this woman was of medium height, wearing a gouache sleeve shirt, holding a small satin fan in her hand, about sixteen years old, but the length was okay, but the small nose and small face were not the type that Ma Cheng liked.

Zhang Erpei saw this woman on stage, and laughed in a low voice: "Second master, this is Qi Biaojia's daughter Qi Shi, and her flower name is Yuzhu!" ”

Yuzhu? What a rustic name, what kind of flowers and grass did the people of the Ming Dynasty name women, nothing new.

Ma Cheng looked at the woman and was very interested, and originally wanted to get up and leave, that knew that there was a room on the side

A voice shouted: "This woman is Lord Qi's son-in-law, I, Shen He, have received the grace of Lord Qi, and I must rescue his son-in-law!" ”

Speaking this Shen He is the Yue Fang brother just now, after he finished speaking, he walked to the staircase and said loudly: "Suzhou Shen He, send ten flower baskets!" ”

The highest-level flower basket is ten taels of silver each, ten is one hundred taels, and the first few are three or two flower baskets, as soon as Shen He made such a move, he immediately made Qi Yuzhu the top of the list.

The Shen family is a big family in Suzhou, and these people around them know that Shen He's father was the imperial history of the capital ten years ago, so no one among these people is jealous of Shen He.

Ma Cheng heard this guy say that he was from Suzhou, and knew why this guy was against him, originally Ma Cheng wanted to get up and leave, but where can he leave now? Didn't you Shen He want to save people, then Lao Tzu won't let you save it!

Ma Cheng said to Zhang Erpei beside him: "You go, send twenty flower baskets!" ”

Twenty flower baskets are two hundred taels, not to mention having a kiss with these fireworks women, it is enough to redeem their bodies. Zhang Erpei didn't dare to delay, and also walked to the staircase and said, "Let's send twenty flower baskets!" ”

Shen He didn't know Zhang Erpei, glared at this guy, and said, "I'll send fifty!" ”

Five hundred taels is not a small number, Zhang Erpei turned around and looked at Ma Cheng, only to see Ma Cheng say: "One hundred!" ”

One thousand taels of silver, the price of silver in the Ming Dynasty is very high, one tael of silver is converted into purchasing power equivalent to one thousand soft sister coins in the 21st century in later generations, one thousand taels is one hundred thousand soft sister coins, this price does not say that this kind of ordinary fireworks woman, even those third-rate actresses can also kiss Fangze, if you are lucky, you can also sleep if you meet some second-rate stars.

It was the same in the Ming Dynasty, a thousand taels of silver could buy a very good Yangzhou thin horse, the kind of woman who was educated to serve people since she was a child, is not much stronger than this kind of female dependents who are halfway monks?

Shen He listened to Zhang Erpei actually send a hundred flower baskets, his eyes widened in disbelief, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "I'll send one hundred and ten!" ”

Ma Cheng didn't give up when he heard this guy, and he didn't sit in the room and pass the word through Zhang Erpei, but stood up and said directly: "Two hundred!" ”

Two hundred is two thousand taels, and a top-quality Yangzhou thin horse is only one thousand five hundred taels, which is the kind of goods of Qin Huai Bayan. Although Qi Biaojia's daughter's appearance belongs to the middle and upper, it is not up to the best. Since its establishment, the Teaching Workshop Division has not encountered such a big customer who spends a lot of money, and the bustard's mother, He Shi, shouted happily: "Second Master Ma sent 200 flower baskets!" Does Shen Gongzi still add? ”

Although Shen He's family is wealthy, he went to Beijing to take the exam, where can he bring so much silver with him, saying that his family education is very strict, and if he lets his father know that he has spent a lot of money for a prostitute in the teaching department, he must break his legs.

Shen He was still hesitating whether to add more, a middle-aged man beside him stood up and said a few words in his ear, Shen He was frightened and turned pale after hearing it, and quickly waved his hand to give up.

Ma Cheng saw this scene and knew that Shen He had discovered his identity, although several of them didn't know Ma Cheng, but Zhang Erpei was a frequent visitor to the Teaching Workshop Division, and some local literati knew him, and now Zhang Erpei could be so respectful, and he was still the second master surnamed Ma, so Ma Cheng's identity was about to come out.

Without Shen He's competition, Ma Cheng won Qi Yuzhu very smoothly, and naturally other women did not have so many admirers to send flower baskets, so this oiran went to Qi Yuzhu.
