138 A throw of 3,000 gold (three watches)
The story of an old woman in her twenties on TV who was beaten to death in the Qinglou and refused to accept customers crying was all made up by the screenwriter according to the needs of the plot and with a clear conscience.
Qinglou is a place that pays attention to taste and service quality, and no Qinglou operator will do that kind of thing to smash his own signboard. They will buy five or six-year-old "daughters" from Yangzhou and other places, the oldest is only seven or eight years old, and then carefully teach, from diet and gait to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
And then with the charm that is not passed on by word of mouth, even if the girl is very talented, it will take ten years to practice the ability to pick up customers.
Count those bustard mothers who look away and have crippled eyes, those who can't learn because their brains are not good, and those whose minds are not calm enough...... If you want to become an Oiran, it is not inferior to the difficulty of a scholar to make a name.
During the more than ten years of teaching, there is only output, no benefit, and the cost and risk are extremely high. Moreover, it is impossible for the same batch of prostitutes to become successful, so this cost will naturally be counted on the head of the oiran who finally achieves it.
From the age of sixteen to twenty-three is the golden time of the Oiran, which is equivalent to the flowers that have just bloomed, and if they are plucked, the income of the Qinglou will naturally be affected.
This is still the case that someone else can take over, if no one can take this position and retain old customers, the loss of Qinglou will be even greater.
"Xianggongyou, my daughter Yu Linglong is the pillar on the top of Wangyun Tower. If she leaves, a dozen girls and fifty or sixty servants in my building will have to drink the northwest wind. Xiao's mother complained.
"It's unbearable!" Kang Pengzu raised his head slightly, and pointed at Xiao's mother with his nostrils: "Tell me directly, how much silver do you want." ”
"It's not a matter of silver...... Xiao's mother was full of embarrassment: "It's really indispensable, my family is exquisite." ”
"Five hundred taels." Kang Peng Zu Dao.
Xiao's mother chuckled: "Xianggong understands the family, and five hundred taels is not enough to find a master to teach her skills." ”
Xu Yuanzuo looked at Kang Pengzu and said in his heart: This loser still has some cultivation. Although this offer is not high, it directly holds the initiative in the negotiations. forced the ** to negotiate the price with him.
"Hmph. One thousand taels. Kang Pengzu smirked.
"Xianggong, Linglong has eaten me all these years and used my ......"
"Fifteen hundred taels." Kang Pengzu casually increased the price, not wanting to listen to Xiao's mother explain at all. In his ears, there is so much nonsense, nothing more than two words: too little.
"Kang Xianggong, I really can't tell her to leave like this......"
"Two thousand taels." Kang Pengzu knocked lightly on the table: "Mother Xiao." There are many people who are content and content. ”
Naturally, it is a lot for others, but for Kang Xianggong, two thousand taels is just the entrance fee!
Xu Yuanzuo felt a little painful when he heard it.
The current two thousand taels is not the two thousand taels in the last years of Chongzhen. Qian Qianyi in the last years of Chongzhen bought Dong Xiaowan for the redemption of the frontier, spending three thousand taels of silver, which is similar to the two thousand taels at this time in terms of value.
Dong Xiaowan is a famous prostitute in Jinling and one of the eight Yans of Qin Huai.
Can this jade Linglong reach the height of Dong Xiaowan?
Xu Yuanzuo was skeptical.
"If the son must not cut his love, then ...... Three thousand taels. Xiao's mother quickly quoted the price.
Kang Pengzu didn't even think about it. said: "You old man is hypocritical." I said three thousand taels earlier, why waste this half-day tongue! Call them down, and I'll take them away. You also happened to send someone back with me to collect the money. ”
Xu Yuanzuo seemed to hear his heartbeat, like a war drum: those who want to do the right thing suffer from having no silver, but those who have silver are willing to spend three thousand taels to buy a maid.
Xiao's mother was not happy, but only immersed in the regret that she did not offer a higher price. She shed two tears: "I ...... with her mother and daughter"
Syllable!
Kang Pengzu took the case: "If you want 3,000 taels, I will give you 3,000 taels, if you are crooked again." I'll make you unable to do this business!" ”
Although Xiao's mother also has a backer behind her, where does she dare to argue with the gold owner? She quickly wiped away her tears. said: "The old body is just parting with sorrow, and has no other meaning." Xianggong is going to take her away? What should I do for a celebration? ”
"Don't be my concubine......"
"It's a servant, what kind of celebration do you want?" Xu Yuanzuo was afraid that Kang Pengzu would lose his mouth for a while, so he hurriedly caught up.
"Be a handmaid!" Xiao's mother shouted loudly, and her whole body trembled.
Kang Pengzu immediately understood, and glanced at Xiao's mother dissatisfied: "What are you shouting?" Is there any difference between being a handmaid and a concubine? ”
Of course there is a difference.
No matter how low the status of concubines is. After all, it's better than a handmaid! There's still a wedding anyway, isn't it? If you meet the favor of the master's family, the concubine can also help the housewife run the house. But who has ever heard of a handmaid in charge?
Xiao's mother said: "Kang Xianggong, this, this, this, isn't this a tyrannical thing?" ”
"Is three thousand taels of silver missing you?" Kang Pengzu squinted.
"But my family has been exquisite, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and I am ...... everything"
"Is three thousand taels of silver missing you?" Kang Pengzu raised his voice.
"But it's ...... to be a handmaiden"
"Three thousand taels of silver is missing you!"
"The old man will go upstairs and tell her to clean up ......," Xiao's mother finally lost the battle.
Kang Pengzu glared at her and waved his hand.
Xu Yuanzuo approached Kang Pengzu: "Brother Changsheng." We seem to have some, some deep pockets, right? ”
"Whispering to them can't say anything." Kang Pengzu said: "I am just a person who is impatient and takes two pieces of silver seriously!" ”
Xu Yuanchun said on the side: "You are really spending a lot of money." ”
Kang Pengzu smiled: "This is also my filial piety, I still remember to apprentice." He said again: "By the way, Yuan Zuo, can your skills make the old man stronger?" ”
"How old are you...... It is still necessary to be cautious. Xu Yuanzuo thought for a while and said, "Why don't you do tai chi?" ”
"Tai Chi?" Kang Pengzu had apparently never heard of this.
Xu Yuanchun was also at a loss.
"Hit" as a verb, and "Tai Chi" are associated with it, which is really puzzling!
"Tai Chi? Haven't you heard of it? Xu Yuanzuo asked softly.
Both shook their heads at the same time.
Xu Yuanzuo took a breath: "It seems that I can indeed start a sect......
Taijiquan as a technical boxing method, some people say that it is from Zhao Zilong, some people say it is Yue Wumu, some people say it is Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest at the beginning of the country, and some people say that it is Wang Zongyue, a boxing master in the Wanli period. Whatever the truth is, there is certainly no such thing as healthy tai chi in this era anyway. Even if Zhang Sanfeng has already taught Zhang Songxi Taijiquan in Wudang, it is definitely a secret.
If Xu Yuanzuo just followed his grandfather to learn the moves of Sun's Taiji, he would not be able to start a sect. However, he read enough "introductory texts" to be able to combine Taijiquan with the five elements of yin and yang, although it seems to be useless, but the capital of the founding sect is in it.
