Wu House.

Wu Dashan people are fully supportive of Daozi's opening of a theater. The reason is very simple: he is old, and he may not return to the West one day. It's better to let Daozi "mess around" and "toss" some family business now, although some money is folded, but it can increase Daozi's experience in manipulating business, so it's worth it! Besides, if it doesn't work, you can remedy it yourself.

Spending money to buy experience for Daozi, this is Wu Dashanren's plan.

Michiko didn't know about his father's idea, he just thought that his father supported him only because his father doted on him. So in the face of the persuasion of the big treasurers under the name of the Wu family, he still made a desperate effort to support himself.

Daozi was very moved in his heart.

Liu Xiucai didn't come today, and Daozi learned from his father that Liu Xiucai went to visit Wang Shizhen with his own gifts.

After adjusting the breath for a while, and briefly punching him, Daozi took a cursory look at the "Selected Poems of the Han and Tang Dynasties", and looked at the time of about ten o'clock in the morning of the later generations, so he was ready to take people out, he was going to the South Wharf.

Why did Daozi read "Selected Poems of the Han and Tang Dynasties"? That's because his father inquired about the news that Wang Shizhen advocated "Wen must be a strong man, and poetry must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty", so his father hoped that he could take a look, so maybe it could still be used at Wang Shizhen's apprenticeship meeting?

Daozi agrees with his father's careful consideration. Accepting disciples and accepting disciples is naturally accepting what they think can be made.

What does it mean to be manufacturable?

That is the one who can inherit his mantle.

When Daozi went out, Wu Dashan also asked Zhang Shipei to take his family to protect him, but this time there were more people. Because he learned from Zhang Shipei's report that Daozi was embarrassed by the Ma family in the Southeast Green Teahouse. He didn't dare to be careless.

The South Wharf is connected to the Grand Canal and is the cargo distribution center of the entire Taicang Prefecture, so it is full of people coming and going both day and night.

It is a city that never sleeps.

Of course, it can't be called a city, it should be called a night pier. Because at night, this place becomes a world of paintings.

The so-called painting boat is just a brothel moving on the river, but it is undeniable that the cost of painting a boat is much lower than opening a brothel.

This place is in the southern city of Taicang Mansion, but not far from Daozi's house, so Daozi did not take a sedan chair or carriage, but walked there on foot.

Liuqi seems to be very familiar with this place, he opens the road in front of his head, Daozi follows closely behind, Zhang Shipei and others are supporting Daozi, and a large number of people are walking in Hulala.

Everyone didn't know what Daozi wanted to do, and they didn't dare to ask, but when they left, their little young master asked Uncle Wu to pay two hundred taels of silver tickets from the account and put them in his arms.

Everyone thought that their little master might be a loser again, right? It's just that it's the South Wharf, and it's all coolies who carry goods, how can you be a loser?

With speculation, everyone soon came to the South Wharf. The boats at the south pier are crowded, people are crowded, and the scene is busy everywhere on and off the bridge.

Daozi looked at the scene in front of him, and almost thought that he had come to the Qinhuai River. He found the largest painting boat and led the group there.

When everyone saw their little master taking them to the painting boat, they were all shocked, and secretly asked how old the little master was, how could he do this?

Of course, Daozi didn't know what everyone was thinking at this time, otherwise he would definitely be disdainful.

Since Liuqi knew that Daozi was going to take them to the painting boat, the whole person hid behind Daozi like a mouse seeing a cat, and Daozi led the way in front.

Daozi didn't care, he looked at the painting boat in front of him, which was about ten meters long and about five meters high, and praised in his heart that the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was top-notch.

Since it was daytime, no one in the boat came out to greet the guests, after all, they had been working all night and needed to rest.

After Daozi walked on the painting boat, only then did a turtle slave discover Daozi and his party.

Turtle slaves are men who work as chores in the painting boat, and the reason why they have this very unusual name is that it is inseparable from the culture of women's foot-binding since the Song Dynasty.

Originally, foot binding was a "right" only owned by the gentry class, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this right was cheapened. Not only the ordinary lower classes of the population began to bind their feet, but even prostitutes began to do so.

When this kind of prostitute with her little feet is called to accompany the customer, she can only have the male workers carry the prostitute to the customer like a turtle carrying a stone tablet, and these male workers who carry the prostitute back and forth are also called turtle slaves.

The turtle slave is very typical, he saw everyone surrounding Daozi, and immediately knew that Daozi was the core of this group, but Daozi's age made him a little stunned.

Daozi smiled and said, "Big teapot, the sisters on the boat have a good song?" ”

The so-called big teapot refers to the turtle slave, but it is called Falla more than the turtle slave. Most of the time, they are busy on the painting boat with a teapot in their hands, hence this title.

When the turtle slave heard Daozi call himself a big teapot, he screamed a few times, and while busy introducing the girls in his painting boat, which girl sang well, and which girl played the flute and praised it, he invited Daozi to enter the painting boat.

The movement outside the painting boat had already woken up the prostitutes in the painting boat, and they lazily pushed open the hanging window of the painting boat to complain a few words, but when they saw a large group of sturdy people surrounding a little boy, their eyes suddenly lit up, what a cute little master!

The old bustard walked out of the painting boat, and when she saw Daozi, she was stunned for a while like the turtle slave, and then shook her waist and came to Daozi and began to say compliments.

Although the old bustard doesn't know what such a young master can do, but he is doing a long-term business, and he thinks that this little master will not be able to prostitute in a few years?

Daozi didn't know what the old bustard thought, but he asked happily, and after this question, the old bustard was angry and disgusted with Daozi's old face.

Because Daozi asked the old bustard, you know the old one, but why are you called a bustard?

The old bustard said in his heart that this little master is really bad: I can't tell you that bustards only have females and no males, so as long as the mating object is a bird, it is the same as a prostitute who can go to a brothel as long as he gives money.

Daozi was frightened by the old bustard's angry expression that he could lose his fans, and he didn't dare to look at her directly, and of course he didn't dare to ask the bustard why he was called the old bustard?

It's no wonder that Daozi asks this question. In the memory of that life, whether Daozi watched a TV series or a movie, he was called the old bustard when describing the proprietress of the ancient brothel, he was strange at the time, but he didn't investigate deeply, and now he came to the painting boat to see the real brothel and the real bustard in ancient times, and naturally wanted to ask.

It's just that he didn't expect to get the old bustard's angry expression like an old monster.
