Chapter 13 Yangzhou Thin Horse

"Ladies and gentlemen from the capital, my girls are more beautiful than the fairies, they know all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they can also read and write, be a female celebrity, help keep accounts, take care of housework, and only sell one hundred taels of silver, and if you buy it, you will earn it."

As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to Fang Yuan and his party to promote one of the hottest local businesses, which was the trade of thin horses in Yangzhou.

The so-called Yangzhou thin horse, does not refer to the horse, but refers to the girl of the poor family, if the eyebrows and eyes have a bit of posture, it is bought at a low price by the pear orchard and the tooth shop, and has been trained since childhood, literacy and reading, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learning to treat people, standing and sitting, a smile, after the teacher is completed, he will sell a good price, which is the famous "raising thin horses".

Ya Po is the mother-in-law of the tooth shop, the tooth shop is the intermediary agency of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ya Po is the professional middleman.

As soon as Tian Hongyu's 'beauty purchasing group' arrived in Suzhou Mansion, he released a rumor that he wanted to purchase beauties to go to the capital. The news that a big purchaser came to the capital immediately spread throughout the Qinhuai River, and all the tooth shops were moved by the wind and came to sell the girls who were waiting to be sold in the tooth shop.

Yaxing, who has a way, has already caught up with Tian Hongyu, and the rest of the people who have no way can only come to the door in person to sell to Fang Yuan and others who accompany him.

Fang Yuan drank noncommittally, and the twenty brocade guards behind him listened to it and were ready to move, Yangzhou thin horse, famous, in the Ming Dynasty prostitution scripture "Qinglou Rhyme", the prostitute first recommended Datong mother-in-law, followed by Yangzhou thin horse.

These brocade guards had received a reward of one hundred taels of silver before, and they were worried that the reward money had nowhere to spend, and almost all of them had a thought, that is, to buy one, two beautiful girls went back to be wives and concubines, and now it is the last stop of this trip to the south, and it is the best opportunity.

Ya Po saw that except for Fang Yuan, who was sitting upright, most of them had the desire to buy, and said busily, "It is one hundred taels to buy one person, and if you buy more, you can also get ninety percent of the price." I see that a few masters from the capital are also knowledgeable people, our girls can not only pick at will, but also bring back to serve the masters for a day, if you are not satisfied, we will redeem sixty percent of the price. ”

This girl in the tooth line can not only buy in a group, but also try it, such a good thing, the brocade guards behind Fang Yuan, including Qin Zhan, all of them have their eyes shining, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Yuan, who is the chief banner, has not expressed his position, he would have happily agreed.

Everyone's eyes once again fell on Qin Zhan, the general banner of the Jinyi Guard, he was Fang Yuan's cronies, and only he could speak in front of Fang Yuan.

Qin Zhan lived up to expectations, approached Fang Yuan and smiled, and whispered, "Boss, you see, you are still alone, and there is no woman in the family, so you finally came to the south once, why don't you buy a girl to go back to warm the bed?" ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he heard this, it was obvious that these people wanted to buy it, but they first came to instigate themselves to buy it, and they followed.

He really couldn't raise this interest, so he put the celadon wine glass in a dignified manner, "Fourth, do you know that I'm used to being alone, so don't buy it!" ”

Qin Zhan was pushed back by a soft nail from him, still with a smile on his face, and said reluctantly, "Everyone has a few pieces of silver in their pockets, and they want to buy a few girls to go back to serve Gaotang." ”

Even his parents have moved out as shields, Fang Yuan looked straight at Qin Zhan, who was waiting for him to let go, buying and selling girls is already a lucrative industry in Qinhuai River and even the entire Ming Dynasty, he can stick to the moral bottom line of modern people and not buy it, but he can't have to be a saint to his subordinates, this is the most basic management knowledge, otherwise he will definitely not be able to convince the public, how can he ask them to work hard in the future?

Lust is the nature of men, as long as it is not a mistake of principle, force to buy and sell, or turn a blind eye to these bad things between men and women!

Fang Yuan looked at the time, it was 9:15 pm, Tian Hongyu and these people had been talking for almost an hour, it was endless, when would it end?

He got up and straightened out his brocade robe, put the embroidered spring knife on his waist in his seat, and said unhurriedly, "Fourth, I'm a little depressed, go out for a walk, breathe, you are free." ”

As soon as he said this, he was relieved, and let Qin Zhan and them toss.

Qin Zhan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Ya Po to bring the girl for everyone to choose, and Ya Po went to greet and send people over with a smile.

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, walked out of the private room with his hand, stood in front of the wooden fence on the second floor, looked at the ** in the lobby and ushered in the send-off, as well as the dignified literati who were dignified on weekdays and were ugly when they arrived at the brothel, sighed and groaned, "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai, the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." ”

As soon as he groaned, a soft voice sounded behind him, "This benevolent brother, why is he so sighing in this place of wind and moon?" ”

Fang Yuan looked back and saw that the person who spoke was twenty-five or six years old, wearing a green satin Confucian shirt, a silk scarf to tie her hair, and a typical Jiangnan scholar's attire, but looking at her slender figure, her eyes were shining, and the skin exposed between her neck was white and flawless, extremely delicate, and what made people's hearts even more exciting was the charming smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

As long as Fang Yuan was not blind, he could see at a glance that the person was a daughter, and she was still an extraordinary beautiful woman.

Looking at her headdress, it is not Qinglou**, but a married wife.

Fang Yuan was speculating about the woman's identity, and when the woman saw that he didn't answer, she generously arched her hand and said, "Brother Tang Turen, the contemptible person is Qian Qianyi's wife, her surname is Liu Mingyin, and her name is like this." ”

Fang Yuan heard that the woman reported to her home, and then it suddenly dawned on her that she was one of the famous prostitutes of Qin Huai Bayan, who was as famous as Chen Yuanyuan, and Liu Ruyi, who was now married to Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin.

Fang Yuan was still deeply impressed by this Liu Ruyi, in addition to her beauty and erudition, what Fang Yuan admired even more was her integrity. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ru was at least more backbone than Qian Qianyi, the old traitor, and insisted on sinking Jiang to martyrdom.

After an initial moment of shock, Fang Yuan regained his usual composure.

He had no good impression of Qian Qianyi, a literati of the Donglin Party, hated the house and Wu, and even Lian Liu didn't want to deal with it, so he gave her a bow salute, "I feel it, Mrs. Qian laughs!" ”

Liu Ru looked his outfit up and down, his eyes fell on the blue underwear exposed at the collar of his brocade robe, and his eyes lit up slightly, "It turns out that Brother Tai is the brocade guard who came to the peach garden with Tian Guozhang?" ”

Fang Yuan reported to his home without being salty, "Fang Yuan, the chief flag of Jinyi Wei, escorted Tian Guozhang to Jiangnan." ”

Liu Ru stood side by side with him at the railing, and smiled shallowly, "It turned out that it was the commander of the Houjin Tartar who had just defeated the Houjin Tartar, and Tian Guozhang was still talking in the room about the great victory of the Jin soldiers after the commander of the He Fang annihilated hundreds of soldiers in Yanzhou Mansion!" ”

Fang Yuan secretly smiled bitterly, before he returned to the capital, Tian Hongyu began to hype up this big victory, taking half of the credit, and coping with Liu Ruis in his mouth, "It's just a coincidence, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Liu Ru looked his tall and mighty figure up and down, and said softly, "In this place where the warblers sing and swallow dance, and the party leads such a handsome young man, it is time to chant, 'The flowers can be folded straight, and there are no flowers and empty branches', why do you come out of the poem of the dead country?" ”

Fang Yuan said unhappily, "Mrs. Qian, the country is about to be broken, and the north is already in the midst of war, after the fall of the northern soil, how long can these glamorous sounds and obscene poems in the south of the Yangtze River be sung?" ”

The tone of his words was a little heavy anyway, and it made the scenery even worse, Liu Ru said in a deep voice, "The south is prosperous and rich, and it has not affected the war, even if the Ming Dynasty is dead, it can learn from the Southern Song Dynasty and rule the river with the northern regime!" ”

These literati and courtesans who were immersed in the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River were really naΓ―ve when they arrived home, and they were still fantasizing that the side of the Manchu couch could accommodate others to sleep soundly, Fang Yuan smiled coldly and said, "The Southern Song Dynasty can row the river with the Jin people, it is Yue Wumu, Han Shaobao and others who have obtained it through the bloody battlefield, otherwise how can they row the river with the Jin people?" Dare to ask Mrs. Qian, where are Yue Wumu and Han Shaobao now? Could it be a venerable husband? Scold! ”

Fang Yuan threw down such a sarcastic sentence, and he had already expressed his attitude that he didn't want to say more to Liu Ru, let alone deal with the Donglin Party, "If you lose your temper, Lady Qian should laugh and leave!" ”
