Chapter 87: Spicy Eyes: The Ethos of Combing and Keeping Concubines
Li Zhong hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "Guest officer, business is good today, this time is the peak of eating noodles in the evening, and the forty seats are all full, you wait a while, and you will turn over immediately......"
"Uncle, I can't wait. Tell someone to make a clean table for me! ”
"Yes yes yes wait a minute......"
Although Li Zhong verbally agreed, it was out of politeness, how could he really drive the diners who were eating noodles away.
"Bastard, tell you to quickly get out of the table, but you are standing here still, are you deaf?" The man roared violently.
Li Zhong was stunned, his face was a little ugly, and everyone turned their eyes to him, making his face red and white for a while, but because people were diners, it was not easy to attack, and he didn't know what to do, Wu Zhi threw down his face and came over.
"Brother Li, you can rest for a while."
"Hmm." Li Zhong took two steps back and lightly touched Wu Zhi's hand, signaling him not to be angry and not to be angry with the God of Wealth.
It's natural not to be angry with the God of Wealth, the customer is God, but this guy, Wu Zhi doesn't think so, he shouldn't bully his friends.
"What's your name?" Wu Zhi took two steps forward, put his head in front of the man, and asked coldly.
"My name is uncle, my name is Bu Zhidao!" The man was shaking the real Jinchuan fan in his hand, but he was pressed by Wu Zhi's momentum, and he was so angry that he put the fan away.
"I asked you what you were shouting here, I didn't ask you your name, are you just a decoration above your neck, a fool?"
As soon as Wu Zhizhi spoke, everyone immediately burst into laughter, laughing one by one.
"What did you say?" Bu Zhidao was furious and pointed at Wuzhi with a fan.
"It seems that this person is not only a big fool, but also a deaf man, no wonder he has been speaking so loudly, and he is not ashamed to scold others......" Wu Zhi smiled, and used a soft sword, which seemed to be light and fluttering, but the attack was sharp.
"You talk nonsense! You die! Bu Zhidao was anxious.
The smile on Wu Zhi's face disappeared in an instant, and he turned around with a cold look, and saw that Bu Zhidao felt a big look in his heart.
The woman behind him immediately walked to the front with interest, blocking her body between the two, and a strong aroma of fat powder immediately rushed into Wuzhi's nostrils, as if something was tickling it, and the woman spoke:
"Wuda, the person who comes is a guest, how can there be a reason to refuse guests with a cold face like you and laugh at guests? Don't you do business here? ”
This woman is so ruthless, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it is not like that Bu Zhidao only has one word written on the door of his head, which is stupid.
The Iron Doorman stood up without saying a word, and walked to the wall with the bowl in his hand. The two little guys of the fat and thin brothers were also very sensible, and they quickly got up and brought the unfinished noodles to the high place at the entrance of the hall, and ate them there.
The Iron Triangle is indeed the Iron Triangle, Wu Zhi thought secretly.
In this way, a table was immediately given up. Sister-in-law Gu glanced at Li Zhong, and the two immediately wiped the table clean and let Bu Zhidao and the two sit down.
Wu Zhi retreated and went below.
"Wuda, two bowls of beef noodles." The woman's face was exposed, and she waved her hand at Wu Zhi.
"Sister Gui, it's rare that you are willing to accompany me out and walk around today, but I didn't expect to suffer from the bad luck of a birdman like him!"
"My brother often takes care of my family, all kinds of money, my sister and I see it in our eyes and remember it in our hearts, not to mention that now that I am just growing up, my brother has combed me, how can I not listen to your reasoning......"
"Hahaha......" Bu Zhidao laughed.
It turns out that one of these two people is a prodigal child, and the other is a cousin. In front of everyone, he talked and laughed to himself, stretched out his hands and feet, and did not take into account the feelings of others at all.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Wu Zhi was also stunned.
What is a carding cage?
It turns out that this is the jargon of the courtyard. Translated into modern terms, it is called baoyang.
However, this package is far more elaborate than modern people, how to pay attention to the law, it turns out that there is such a rule in the rules of prostitution and concubine in the Song Dynasty, if you want to be the first "guest of the curtain" of the prostitute x woman who has not broken the x body, you must pay a "fat powder money", and in addition, you have to put wine and treat guests like a marriage, and even often it is not a place that can be stopped, but a banquet for several days, not only is it not hidden, but it is a bit of a public announcement, which is called "combing the cage".
This kind of atmosphere is very different from modern times, modern people want to do things to support, most of them have to sneak x dare not see people, but the Song Dynasty is different, up to the scholars, down to the small people, as long as you have money, you can swagger the cage woman, this is regarded as a kind of romance, is a kind of ability, and as long as the other party is willing, how long the time can be decided by the man......
Three days, or five months, or a long time, can also reach three years and five years, and be raised at home as a concubine, but generally five years are over, and the relationship needs to be re-determined......
This kind of long-term combing is called concubine storage. It's a bit similar to hiring a girl, but the contract for hiring a girl can be set for up to ten years, and if nothing else, a more stable relationship can be maintained, so this will also happen in some people's homes, and after a few years, the girl is still there, but the concubine has to be sent out......
In short, this kind of thing is conventional, and it changes hands again. You take care of it for a while, and he will come back for half a year, and no one cares about the first-come, first-served problem. Of course, it's okay to be able to come early, but you'll have to pay a little more......
If you want to pick flowers, you have to pay some cost, otherwise how can so many people in the courtyard live......
At this moment, this one is sung with Bu Zhidao, called Sister Li Gui, she also has a cousin named Li Jiaoer, married to a Ximen official in Xicheng as a second mother, and has a sister named Li Guiqing in her own family, which is also a business, and Song Shi has an advantage in doing this business, and there is no need to find another place, just open the door to pick up customers at your own house, just enter the night, hang two lanterns at the head of the door is OK, but it is quite ......similar to the modern "hair salon" - note 1
Wu Zhi took a closer look at this Sister Li Gui, in fact, she was only Fang Qiong's age, at such a young age, but she was dressed in a thick and glamorous manner, accompanied by a dead skin, and made some postures and expressions of a dusty woman, which was really embarrassing, especially spicy......
Wu Zhi felt that his eyes were going blind, and he had to wash his eyes quickly, so he turned his head to look at Fang Qiong again, and his spirit immediately perked up - the playful and naughty double ponytail, the lively and smart eyes, the whole person stood there, full of youthful vitality, giving people a heroic and energetic feeling, which made people feel very comfortable in their hearts......
