Chapter 531: Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life
Zuixiang Lou is a well-known green building in Suzhou City and even in Suzhou and Hangzhou, just because there is an Oiran lady who is said to be not inferior to Qin Huai Bayan, whose name is Wang Yuesheng.
Wang Zheng was amazed when he heard it, this woman was also surnamed "Wang", and she was a family with herself five hundred years ago, so she naturally wanted to meet, but this kind of meeting was not a swagger to meet with her identity.
With the current identity of Wang Zheng, if he came to this drunken incense building, everyone would definitely be around, and there was no interest at all, and of course he couldn't see what he wanted to see, so the group of people walked through the streets and walked through the market as low-key as possible.
Wang Zheng's appearance is not so outstanding, and not so many people have seen it, this low-key is really no one can recognize him as a commander who holds a strong army in the world.
Speaking of which, most people's impression of the Qinglou in the Ming Dynasty is still a brothel, which is very vulgar.
Later TV dramas are very harmful, no matter what dynasty often appears "Rejuvenation Pavilion" and "Xunhualou", which seem to be talented but very explicit.
In the Ming generation, this kind of name will not be used at all even in the Qinglou.
And those scantily clad women standing at the door, holding silk scarves and shouting at each other are even more commonplace, and when it comes to brothels, there is basically no escape from this scene.
But this kind of behavior is despised even by the Qinglou women in the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, they are very elegant, talented and arrogant, and they will not go out with a silk scarf and wave their hands like street girls.
So what is elegance?
First of all, these Qinglou women all have a common name - "Goolan", and some people are also called Goolan or Goolan, which are differences in local culture.
If you directly say that you are looking for a brothel, most Jiangnan people will say that you are lonely and unheard, and you are insulting, and you will be a bad life for the rest of your life.
Probably in the Tang and Song dynasties, professional entertainment venues were already all over the big cities and towns of China, and they were equipped with railings as stages, so at that time, Goolans were only related to singing and dancing.
The great "poet" Li Shangyin once sang loudly: "The curtain is light and the curtain is heavy and the gold hook fence is heavy."
When the carving knife of the time fell to the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Goolan Yuan" by some literati who advocated "prostitution has quality", anyway, even if it was prostitution, it had to find a subtle name.
The prostitution that the scholars are talking about is not prostitution in the real sense, most of them want to be endowed with those famous and famous poems, and show off their literary talents, and the rest is to listen to the singing songs of the women in the Qinglou, watch them sing and dance, and taste the various states of life.
To put it bluntly, I still can't escape the words vassal elegance.
The most famous Goolan Courtyard in the world is not any of Qin Huai Bayan's origins, but the Jiaofang Division in Beijing, for no other reason, just because this Gogoulan Courtyard is state-run and has a strong background, so don't think about fighting for any Qinglou.
The people who work here basically have very prominent backgrounds, and they are all victims of party disputes, political disputes, and mutinies in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, in the early years of Hongwu, the children of nobles who had no time to flee in the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the descendants of their families who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world and were killed by other forces, as well as the wives and concubines and children of ministers who were killed by various emperors who suddenly changed their faces.
In short, these people, the male generation of turtle fathers, the female generation of prostitutes, they are worse than ordinary prostitutes, because these people are all crucified by the emperor's order, no matter how the world changes, there will never be a day when Congliang will be a concubine.
In fact, when the private Goolan courtyard is stable, it is rare for unknown girls to be sold into brothels, not because of the simplicity of the people, but because of the system.
Emperor Hongwu thought of this problem as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and stipulated that women engaged in this industry must have a document certificate from the local government and the recognition of the local government.
No? I'm sorry, but the price of forcing a good person to become a prostitute is not a joke.
Until the current Chongzhen years, all the rules from top to bottom have basically become a joke, many families can't even live with their parents, and their children are even more helpless.
However, it is not uncommon for these old prostitutes to be disobedient or too stupid, and abuse the girl to death, and finally throw the body into the river.
In Daming, prostitutes are also not easy to do.
Although Emperor Hongwu was born in mud, this comrade is the same as Wang Zheng, who has skills without learning, and divides the people of the world into "military households", "artisan households", and "civilian households", and does not allow them to be converted into each other.
This old man deliberately stipulated everything for the Qinglou woman, and according to records, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty personally issued an edict:
"The teacher is wearing a swastika scarf, tying a lamp string jacket, and a prostitute is crowned with a soap jacket, and he is not allowed to be with the people's wives."
That is to say, the Qinglou people must wear a "swastika" headscarf, a special "shirt" should be tied around the waist, and the song and dance girl wears a "horn crown" and russet shoulders.
As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang frequently personally issued edicts to care about the peace and contentment of the women in the Qinglou, this kind of thing is so common that no one can understand it, but he doesn't dare to say more.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang demanded that women in Qinglou and their families could only wear wool pigskin shoes, and if there were prostitutes in a certain household, men must wear green scarves on their heads, and they were only allowed to "pull aside" on the left and right sides of the street.
Wang Zheng, who heard this, was taken aback, it turned out that the well-known "green hat" in later generations was actually the first to be promoted by Lao Zhu, which is a bit interesting.
As the saying goes, if one person gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang opened up the anecdote of "one person falls into the dust, and the whole family of men is cuckolded".
The evil taste contained in this, Wang Zheng can understand it every time he thinks about it, who said that Emperor Hongwu has no hobbies of his own, this old guy in addition to winning the world, establishing the Ming Dynasty, and killing corrupt officials, there are also a lot of interesting things in private.
Except for Hongwu and Yongle Dynasty, no one will take Lao Zhu's own bad taste out as a holy canon, basically put it away, in fact, no matter how Lao Zhu stipulates, it is still a matter of time before the Qinglou women in the Ming Dynasty form an industrial chain.
These hard-working women were selected by the bustard with his eyesight for many years before they were "cardamom", and then taught these women in person, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to the art of war, swordsmanship, and even dance.
Although it may not be all, I will not let go of everything I can think of.
In the old bustard's view, selecting and cultivating a little girl is like buying a lottery ticket, as long as you painstakingly cultivate a person who is so like, you must earn more than you invest, if you accidentally become a famous prostitute, you don't have to worry about eating for a lifetime.
The clothing, food, housing and transportation of the women of the Qinglou are all according to the daughters of the family, every word and action, every smile and smile are not inferior to the average daughters of large families, otherwise they will not show their professionalism.
The vast majority of Qin Huai Bayan, when talking about political views with Donglin officials, they talked endlessly, and the poems were enough to make Jiangnan scholars embarrassed, "the flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, and there are no flowers and empty branches", which is said to be the masterpiece of the famous prostitute white peony in the Tang Dynasty.
In the eyes of ordinary literati, these Qinglou women are simply more talented than scholars.
However, these people basically will not have any good results, and the best thing is to be ransomed and married as concubines, and they are very miserable concubines.
You must know how talented these women are, they are still Qinglou women, and men chase after the challenge, but if they really get their hands on it, they basically won't take them seriously, and they may be given to others at any time if they are happy.
The same is true for scholars, chasing those who are literary and glamorous in the north and south of the country, in order to show their own literary talent and their own ability, to say that they are really in love, in fact, there are very few.
Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a thin life, and a thin life is like me.
