Xiangfang, also known as Qinglou in ancient times.

Well, what's it just in the Qinglou, hey. Let's stop pretending, shall we?

Now pure and good children can only be found in kindergarten, we all understand.

Before Liu Zihua became good, he was a prostitute and an Oiran-like beauty. It is natural to know some famous brands and oirans of local incense shops in Yantai!

After all, they are all women, and they have common topics and compassion!

What the? You say you look down on such unclean women?

Hehe, hehe, hehe, please let me hehe three times. It seems that you still really don't understand the meaning of the ancient oiran and the top card, and the representative of the famous prostitute.

Do you think that the famous prostitutes and oirans of the Ming Dynasty were those young models and bar girls in our modern 21st century?

Wrong, big mistake!

Flipping through "The Golden Vase of Plums", prostitutes seem to be omnipresent. Ximen Qing drank and had fun with his friends in the brothel, celebrated his birthday in the brothel, and talked about business in the brothel. During the festivities, prostitutes are also invited to the house to play and sing. (Please go home if you can still be open, heh)!

In fact, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after the recuperation in the early Ming Dynasty, the people began to become wealthy, and the increase in prostitutes was one of the accompanying phenomena.

During the period from Jiajing to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, even the official would hold various "Liantai Immortal Society" and other prostitute beauty pageants, evaluate famous prostitutes, and set a "flower list".

Ranked in order: female champion, Bangyan, Tanhua...... The buzz is no less than today's beauty pageant or draft.

(It turned out that as a prostitute, there were also champions, lists, and flowers...... ）

Prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty were more competitive than their wives in many ways, not only in terms of appearance and dress, but more importantly, in terms of cultural level.

Take Ximen Qingjia as an example: although the eldest wife Wu Yueniang was born in an official eunuch, she didn't know how to read.

On the other hand, although Zheng Aiyue was born in a brothel, due to her professional training, she can not only play and sing lyrics, but also appreciate poetry. Therefore, many prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty were even able to write and martial arts (know kung fu?). He can also write poems and sing peace with guests. Comparable to a book reader!

The prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty, especially the famous prostitutes, played the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, had extraordinary skills, danced and wrote, and were not inferior to celebrities. The prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty were of high quality, and they also promoted and gave birth to the emergence and prosperity of Qinhuai culture. As a result, "guests are like the city, holding three to five, and they are not idle."

It is no wonder that the men of the Ming Dynasty flocked to brothels.

In the modern 21st century, can the mistress (woman) and the second (milk) be compared with them?

From a certain point of view, the definition of a prostitute in the Ming Dynasty is not exactly the same as the definition of a prostitute in the modern 21st century today. This is also the reason for the rise and fall of the two!

Ming prostitutes, especially Qinhuai prostitutes, were officially protected and nurtured, and were legally existing social entities, and did not deviate from mainstream values.

If you have to convert, the formula looks like this:

Famous prostitutes (Ming Dynasty) = quasi-sex workers + supermodels + pop singers + beauty pageants + female celebrities...... It's not like you can just soak it if you want to!

If it is a famous Oiran and a famous prostitute, it is equivalent to those popular female stars or diva-level actresses in the modern 21st century.

People who look down on famous prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty, and say that people are not clean, not virgins. Let's think about it first, in the modern 21st century, do you like female stars very much, and you really want to talk to female stars XXOO again.

(Besides, how many female stars are still virgins here in the modern 21st century?) ）

Therefore, Zhu Zilong asked Liu Zihua, a well-known prostitute, to be the middleman, and asked her to sell the dressing box to the famous brands of Qinglou in the city. It's just equivalent to letting Liu Zihua be an agent and inviting female celebrities to advertise as a spokesperson, which is a truth.

And Liu Zihua did not despise Zhu Zilong's explanation, and even attached great importance to it.

The next day, I came to the largest green building in Yantai City, Baihua Building.

"The perched birds never sleep at night, and they turn over the golden well. The frost and moon are dusk, and there is no double shadow of the taulownia. "In a room in Baihualou, a woman of about eighteen years old, with a face like jade, a slender figure, a slender waist, straight legs, a light blue dress fluttering naturally, and a super-earthly temperament.

This young and beautiful woman is like a fairy who is not stained with the breath of the world, and has a beauty of birth, such as a white lotus flower rolling with dewdrops, and like a fresh snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain, giving people the feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world.

There is no shortage of extremely beautiful women in the world, but it is difficult to find such a beauty with a dusty temperament, as if she has jumped out of the mundane world and integrated with the fresh natural world.

In a word, if it weren't for the fact that she was sighing in Baihualou now, no one would think that she would be a prostitute in the Ming Dynasty. It should be a lady or a princess!

"Jinghui, you also sighed a lot today!" Outside the room, Liu Zihua came with a smile while holding the gift box.

The girl who called Liu Zihua Jinghui raised her eyes and saw the arrival, and said with a smile on her face: "It turned out that the sister of the Liu family is here, why don't you see the little girl next to you today?" ”

"I heard that my parents were in poor health, and I had already returned to my hometown with my family. I came here to chat with my sister and bring a gift for my friend. Liu Zihua was not polite, and sat down after explaining with a smile.

looked at the gift box on the table, chatted a few words, and the atmosphere was just right. Under Liu Zihua's guidance, Shang Jinghui opened the dressing box.

In the next second, a surprised "ah" immediately came out of the cherry's small mouth. After picking it up and looking at it carefully, he looked at it carefully in the mirror, and then turned around and made a blessing to Liu Zihua, saying: "This gift is too heavy, I'm afraid it will cost more than a thousand taels of silver, I don't know who my sister's friend is?" ”

Liu Zihua smiled and said: "My friend doesn't think it's polite, so he gave my sister a lot of it, saying that it was a treasure knife with a hero since ancient times, and a jewel for a beauty." In the future, whenever new goods from the Americas land on the shore, they will trouble us. Try it first, promote it later, no matter what new product, it's free. ”

"It turns out that my sister's friend is Mr. Zhu, a miracle doctor! No wonder, no wonder! Shang Jinghui immediately showed a look on his face, as expected.

This time, on the contrary, Liu Zihua blushed, and its subtext was self-evident, and the second daughter immediately made a fight in the room.

Near Yantai Fucheng, after all, it is not as good as the famous Qinhuai River.

There are few famous prostitutes, even if they barely have some postures, they have already been combed (broken) one after another.

Shang Jinghui was originally the eldest sister of the official family, but if it weren't for his father who offended the above, the family would have almost died. On the way back to his hometown, his father fell seriously ill again, and he urgently needed a large sum of money to cure his illness and comb through the relationship. And my sister is married and far away, so she can't take care of this.

How could a woman like her, who is both talented and good-looking, choose to enter the Qinglou?

It's all forced!

And the boss of the Qinglou has always refused to let her break her body, focusing on clean people, and selling her art rather than her body. Speaking of which, isn't the girl in this realm just selling for a good price?

(Shang Jinghui, Zhejiang Huiji in the late Ming Dynasty.) The second daughter of Zhou Zuo, the former official of the Ming Ministry of Officials, the sister of Shang Jinglan, has national colors, erudite poetry, poetry is forced to flourish in the Tang Dynasty, pays attention to the rhythm, and is actually a famous family. He is the author of "Yongyutang Poetry and Grass", "Chengtang Collection" and so on! ）

His father, Shang Zhou Zuo: The word is clear and the number is Xuan. In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), Zhang Yicheng of the Xin Chou Branch was awarded the order of Shaowu County for 5 years, and he was as honest as ice, and his family property was lost due to the compensation sticker. (Qing official, relatively poor)!

Later, the governor of Fujian, did not levy a penny from the people, captured and beheaded the thieves, and resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders, so on the day of his departure, the Fujian people set up a shrine for it. (There were a lot of Japanese devils who killed the Ming Dynasty, and they were also iron-blooded civil officials!) ）

However, this is of little use.

Because of his uprightness, he repeatedly violated the holy will and the will of God and returned to his post. The family has no long things, and she is seriously ill on the way back, and the second daughter Shang Jinghui is a daughter who is now a prostitute in order to save her father and family. Alas!

Zhu Zilong asked Liu Zihua to be a copycat agent, and she was the master of selecting several famous prostitutes as advertising spokespersons.

Liu Zihua first thought of her in Yantai City, and it can be regarded as her variable and turning point.
