She didn't even bother to look at the plausible man in front of her, even if the other party was the emperor of the world?

Anyway, her whole heart is full of holes, she uses thin affection as a blade, and she is not afraid of this man who pretends to be affectionate.

......

Qiantang River, rich since ancient times, the city is a jewel, the household is full of Luoqi, and the competition is luxurious.

The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people.

In the cold smoke and decaying grass and green place, Nian Yaoyue sat in the window of the small Xuan of the building boat, drawing her eyebrows and eyes, and dressing up.

I saw that there were many officials lined up on the shore preparing to board the boat, and they were followed by many pretty girls.

Nian Yaoyue was sour, so she turned her head to look at the fourth master who was reading the folds at the desk.

"Look at it, take a look, lord, the beauty of Jiangnan, that Wu Nong's soft words, singing the peach blossom fan at the bottom of the wind, all of them are water and spiritual, no wonder the princes and generals have liked to go down to Jiangnan throughout the ages~"

After entering Jiangnan, the family returned to the official ship.

Every day, the officials and gentry of Jiangnan come to send this and that to the fourth master, especially the delicate Jiangnan people, who look at Nian Yaoyue's heart is sour.

Although the fourth master did not let those women serve closely, he did not refuse all of them.

"Su Peisheng, reward those beauties to Ortai!"

Yin Zhen sat at the desk and scribbled, his tone unwavering.

"Master, the squire here in Yangzhou just sent a few skinny horses... Do you want to send it out as well? Su Peisheng asked with a hunched waist.

"What skinny horse? Keep the horses, and we'll ride them by ourselves when the time comes! Nian Yaoyue had just finished speaking, but she saw Su Peisheng covering the corners of his mouth and snickering.

"Nian master, this thin horse, you can't ride it..."

Su Peisheng grinned and began to explain in a rambling manner, and after Nian Yaoyue listened, her three views were shattered.

Yangzhou has been rich since ancient times, and a large part of the reason why it is rich is that the water and land transportation is developed, which has brought considerable shipping income, and another factor that cannot be ignored is that Yangzhou produces salt.

So there were many wealthy salt merchants, but to what extent did these people get rich?

The rich rival is still light, and even the aesthetics are to the extent of pursuing deformed aesthetics.

These salt merchants were accustomed to plump women, and their aesthetics began to turn to thinness as beauty.

Some local tooth men and women took this opportunity to start this new industry.

"Raising skinny horses" is one of the business doorways, and raising skinny horses is not simply raising horses.

Instead, Yagong and Ya Po, who are engaged in "raising thin horses", buy young girls from poor families at a low price, and then sell them at a high price after they are raised.

They bought good-looking girls from many poor families, basically at the age of six or seven years old, and cultivated them according to their appearance, body shape, intelligence, etc.

First-class girls can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, reading and writing, and have to dabble in all aspects of skills, second-class girls mainly focus on bookkeeping and management, and are not proficient in poetry and painting, but also recognize some words, while third-class girls can only learn female workers and cooking.

Regardless of the grade, these girls who were bought at a low price lived a very difficult life.

In order to keep them feeling pitiful, the traffickers would not give them enough food, and this is how the "skinny horses" were made.

By the time the girls reach their teenage years, traffickers begin to look for suitable buyers.

The price of the girls is also determined by the rank, including the selection of appearance, voice, posture, hands and feet, among which the selection of the "three-inch golden lotus" is particularly strict.

Ranging from one or two thousand taels of silver to a few hundred taels, the profits from this have made a large number of human traffickers rich.

A girl with good qualifications may be favored by a wealthy businessman and accepted as a concubine.

But even entering the mansion compound does not mean that they can live a good life, and the rich often only treat these girls as goods for trade.

The reason why it is called raising thin horses is because it is the same business method as a businessman who buys a thin horse at a low price, fattens it and then sells it at a high price.

So the word skinny horse at that time was actually a word that was insulting to women. The metaphor is that women are like slaves who abuse weak horses.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly remembered the Tianwang sister-in-law Internet celebrity training institution in Huaxia... It turns out that there was an ancestor as early as the Qing Dynasty..

"In a few days, Huang Ama's dragon boat will arrive in Yangzhou Mansion, and it will make a detour to Jiangning to weave Cao's house to stay."

The Cao family?

It must be Cao Xueqin's family, in history, Kangxi Ye lived in the Cao family five or four times in the south of the Yangtze River six times, and then successfully bankrupted the Cao family...

Not long after the fourth master ascended the throne in history, he copied the Cao family to the bottom and won the nickname of the emperor of the family.

The fourth master is still chasing the Cao family's ass to collect debts, and whenever the Cao family's officials play, he will definitely ask when he will repay the money, and there is no one...

I'm really curious where the Cao family offended the fourth master....

"Master, don't you like the Cao family?"

Nian Yaoyue bit her lip, curiosity killed the cat, her heart was like a cat scratching, she wanted to know why the fourth master didn't like the Cao family.

"The master has no feelings for the Cao family, and he can't say whether he likes it or not."

Yin Zhen played with the rare Dushan jade snuff bottle sent by Cao Yin in his hand, and said lightly.

The old lady of the Cao family is the nurse of Huang Amma, and Huang Ama has always been generous to the Cao family.

Cao Yin was trusted by Huang Ama, in addition to serving as Jiangning Weaving, Cao Yin was also appointed to inspect the two Huai salt administration, two Huai patrol salt imperial history.

These two positions were all fat and oily "fat poor" at that time. Cao Yin wears two hats, and it is difficult for him not to get rich, so he naturally becomes a first-class rich man in Jinling.

The Cao family is the minions of Huang Ama planted in Jiangnan, and he moves his whole body with a single hair, Yinzhen is very curious, how the future new monarch should uproot the intertwined Cao family.

………

On the Grand Canal hundreds of miles away, the four concubines of Concubine De Wu Ya and Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui rarely sit together and play mahjong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, long live the Lord who didn't flip the cards today! The masters rested earlier. ”

"Hmph, long live the lord who is on the top floor all day long with Aunt Dao blowing the cold wind, and he doesn't even look at us, he knows that he won't come!" Concubine Rong is straightforward and fast-talking, and she can't hide her words.

"It's mushy, Hongu is mush~"

Wu Yashi was in a good mood, and won several games this morning.

Long live the woman in his heart, this is an open secret, what's so sour.

Why bother mediocre people to make themselves angry half to death, it is better to eat, drink and have fun.

"When Ming'er arrives in Yangzhou, let's also learn from men's micro-service private visits, go to Yangzhou City for a walk, do you want to go?"

Wu Yashi winked at a few old sisters who were killing each other.

"Go and go, buy more things when the time comes, the things in the south are more exquisite than those in our Forbidden City, if you return empty-handed this time, wouldn't it be a loss."

Concubine Yi Guo Luo Luo is very open-minded, and in the past few days, she has picked up rare tributes and moved them to her house.
