Act 99 The City of People

There were only eight people who came to the party, of course, Guan Kunyu was not counted, he was mixed in as a disciple and a scholar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Who are these eight people?

Chen Jiru is one, Xu Guangqi is also one, needless to say, they are both big celebrities.

For the rest, the most famous is Dong Qichang!

That's right, it is Dong Qichang, who was the official to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and was called "Wen Min" after his death, which can be said to be the highest official among the painters of the Ming Dynasty and the best painter among the high-ranking officials. Dong Qichang's character is a little worse, and he is greedy, but he is really good at being an official!

There is also Wang Heng, he naturally doesn't have to say, his father is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also a mess, if it weren't for his father's reputation and being attacked by political enemies, Wang Heng's future career would never be so low, and even disgusted with officialdom in the end, he simply resigned from office.

The rest of the people Guan Kunyu hadn't heard of, but even so, a party of eight people, four of whom were famous cattle in history, Guan Kunyu felt that he was worth the ticket price when he came to this party!

Forehead...... In fact, he didn't give a copper plate, eating, drinking and having fun were all out of the pockets of a few showmen, he just ate and drank for nothing......

The only problem is that there are eight people who are clearly said to be good, but Guan Kunyu only sees seven - and one person is late!

But considering the traffic and communication situation in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this is not considered a lateness.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

The door opened, and the last person came in, and then Guan Kunyu and the person who came in were both stunned.

"Second uncle!?"

"Dumb!?"

Guan Kunyu was just surprised, but he quickly reacted, the second uncle is also a talent, and he also has to participate in the township test, and he knows Chen Jiru, Wang Heng, and Xu Guangqi, so it is not surprising that he came to the party.

But the second uncle was different, after he was surprised, he was only full of embarrassment - the place of the party was the Qinglou! It's a green house! Green House!

Visiting the Qinglou and being bumped into by his own juniors, anyone can imagine how embarrassing it is.

The second uncle really couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, pointed at Xu Guangqi and Wang Heng and said angrily: "You guys are too boring!" Why don't you say a word to me!? ā€

Xu Guangqi and others looked at each other.

"Kunyu, didn't you tell your second uncle when you came out!?"

Guan Kunyu shook his head, he came out to avoid the limelight at that time, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as a party when he came out!

"I ...... I'd better go out for a walk, and go straight to the inn to rest after shopping. ā€

There's no way, having him really affects the second uncle's performance too much, and if he sees something that shouldn't be seen, what should he do?

So, it's good for everyone to just go out of sight and go out for a walk.

When he came out of the Qinglou, Guan Kunyu was confused - where should he go?

It's not even noon yet, and I've just had breakfast, so I definitely can't go to eat.

As for drinking? I'm sorry, Guan Kunyu himself doesn't like it, and the wine in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty is not to his taste.

Sightseeing? Forehead...... To be honest, Guan Kunyu doesn't like to travel very much, and there are no famous places in Songjiang Fucheng.

"Forget it, since you have arrived at the Qinglou Street, let's just go shopping around the Qinglou, speaking of which, I haven't really seen the Qinglou of the Ming Dynasty, Qinhuaihe can't go for the time being, let's take a look at the same here."

Guan Kunyu's visit is really a walk, after all, his hardware is not good now, and he is powerless......

After only walking for less than half an hour, Guan Kunyu felt that his trip was really worth it!

Why?

Because he found that these warblers and swallows in the Qinglou looked quite pleasing to the eye!

This is the Qinglou street of Songjiang Prefecture! The grade of the warbler and swallow that can appear here must be medium to high!

What does this mean? This shows that Guan Kunyu's aesthetics and the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty are not without intersections!

With this conclusion, Guan Kunyu was really relieved, and even went shopping with a little more strength.

wandered aimlessly into the remote alley behind the street of the Qinglou, and the original painting style full of spring gardens immediately changed. The weeping crowd, the vicious hands, this alley is actually a human market!

Guan Kunyu originally planned to turn around and leave, but he couldn't move his legs, but walked straight into the alley - he wanted to know what the people of the Ming Dynasty were, if it was cost-effective, it was not impossible to use this method to expand the manpower of the Tun Institute, he still had a lot to do in the future, and he couldn't do it without manpower. And if you recruit in a normal way, once you come to the military tun is not like a private village, there is a rule on how many people in a tun, although no one cares about this regulation at all; Second, the status of the military household is really not good, let alone recruiting people, it can ensure that no one escapes, thank God!

The alley is not long, and it didn't take a few minutes for Guan Kunyu to walk halfway, and then he found that this alley seemed to be very different from the human market he imagined - except for the two families at the entrance of the alley, the courtyards inside were quiet, if he hadn't seen someone with girls coming in and out from time to time, he might really think that these courtyards were ordinary homes.

However, there are never so many twelve or thirteen-year-old girls coming in and out of an ordinary house.

Guan Kunyu's mind quickly came up with a name - Yangzhou Skinny Horse!

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there have been a large number of young women who have undergone special training and are ready to marry wealthy merchants as concubines in Yangzhou, and these women are thin and beautiful, all of them are slender and thin, so they are called "Yangzhou Thin Horses". Yagong and Yapo, who are engaged in "raising thin horses", first funded the purchase of good-looking girls from poor families and then trained them, taught them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sold them as concubines to the rich or entered the Qinlou Chu Pavilion when they grew up, so as to make a profit. Because the poor girls are so thin, the name "thin horse" comes from this.

"Thin Horse" is most famous in Yangzhou, but in fact, it is by no means unique to Yangzhou, Guan Kunyu did not expect to meet here.

However, these in the alley are obviously not high-level "thin horses", otherwise there would not be so many of them, and they would not be so easy for others to see. Guan Kunyu estimated that it should be some "leftovers" that could not be sold at a good price, he saw it when he was reading, these "thin horses" are usually sold to Qinglou in various places, and next to the alley is the Qinglou Street in Songjiang Mansion, and the girls who lead them in and out are also ****, so there should be no discrepancies.

In fact, even if there was a discrepancy, it was nothing, because Guan Kunyu didn't think it had anything to do with him, until he saw a girl huddled in the corner of the wall and beaten by two fanggongs.
