"This second level?"

Mother Du smiled: "Big official, this second level is to look at the appearance, what we want is clear eyebrows, Red lips and white teeth, pretty girls, such as clear eyebrows, eyebrows are clear, eyebrows can not go down, so as not to be born with a crying appearance, the guests do not like to see, in addition to the woman who serves the meat guests can not be a word eyebrows, a woman with a word eyebrows, poor bed delivery skills, lack of shy posture, it seems too low, it will affect the reputation of our other Xiangguan, and the eyes show does not have to be how big and charming their eyes are, as long as they are fine and smooth, it doesn't matter if they are attractive, the lips are purple and black, and they must not be wanted。 ”

As she said here, a woman next to her involuntarily touched her two curved eyebrows, and Shi Fan laughed: "This girl's willow eyebrows are curved like distant mountains, and her fragrant lips are delicate like pink. ”

"Thank you, Childe!" the girl blushed and replied shyly.

"Pass the level!" Du's mother shouted, and the girl immediately passed the second level with joy.

"Haha, it's really different. Shi Fan also had to sigh that the ancients said a lot, Qinglou recruited a girl to pay so much attention, no wonder when he entered the courtyard, he was all beautiful and beautiful, and it was rare to see an ugly one.

"I don't know what else is tested in this third level?" Shi Fan said curiously.

Mother Du laughed and said, "Do the big officials also want to listen to the affairs of those women?

"Huh!"

Hearing Du's mother say this, Shi Fan's curiosity was hooked instead, as a modern person, he was afraid of hair, so he smiled, "It's okay, just say that there must be my teacher in the threesome, Master Ben has a learning attitude, huh...... Learn, hey, hey!"

"It's a big official!" Mother Du dared to offend, and continued: "This third level is mainly to determine the grade of the selected girl." Official, please look there, isn't it covered with a cloth curtain, the girl who has passed the first two levels, but also the wide clothes test, first of all, to see whether the figure is slender and slender, for example, the shoulder width is one foot six inches, the buttocks are three inches less than the shoulder width, from the shoulder to the fingers, each length is two feet seven inches, the fingers are four inches from the palm, small is more popular, the length from the legs to the toes is three feet two inches, the length of the feet is eight inches, the shin and nails should be fat and colorful, the soles of the feet are very flat, the toes are very short, there are no sunspots and pockmarks. ”

Talking too much, this Du's mother had a dry throat, took the water from the side and drank it, and then continued: "In addition, it is necessary to observe the hair, which is soft and not scarce, not red or yellow-brown, such a woman, the guests think that it is impotence and injury, and even will cause trouble, if such a girl wants to stay, she can only do something to serve tea and water, and serve at the table, and they are not allowed to receive guests. ”

"I'm a lot better than a modern beauty pageant. ”

Shi Fan couldn't help but sweat profusely, and said with a smile: "Mother Du, don't be so cautious, as long as you are clever and beautiful, it's enough." ”

Du's mother waved her hand again and again and smiled, "More than that, our business is becoming more and more prosperous, and we have to recruit many girls to come in. ”

"Well, it's so thoughtful!" Shi Fan looked at the girls in the crowd, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Mother Du, then you must make it clear to them, I think some of the applicants should be from good families, what to do after being hired, they must be made voluntary, they can't be forced, and they must not do anything to force good people to become prostitutes." ”

"The big officials are too worried!" Du's mother smiled: "The old body naturally knows that the old body will not force the reluctant girl, and the old body is still afraid of losing her life, and if you don't hide it from the big officials, you will make it clear to them." Even those girls from good families who are not from other Qinglou courtyards actually hope to be selected, and no one will cry or be reluctant. ”

In fact, what Du's mother said was the truth, but Shi Fan was influenced by the Qinglou recorded in modern books, and still had many bad impressions, thinking that this person was in a humble position, and the woman who held this cheap business was either promiscuous or promiscuous, or she was lazy and disgusting, or she must be a woman who was abducted and trafficked, pushed into the fire pit, and was devastated.

In fact, this is not the case, in the Song Dynasty, the Qinglou industry not only accommodated modern brothels, to a certain extent, it can also match dance halls and other places, not only fragrant, but also stable income, but also close contact with the upper class, in addition to quickly reversing the poverty of the family, many women also have the opportunity to climb the high branches, completely change their lives, so the majority of those who are willing to work are still the majority.

The wealth of the Song Dynasty was famous in all dynasties, not to mention the small land area, the total economic output converted into purchasing power is not comparable in the most prosperous time of the Qing Dynasty, the national industry at that time has a rudimentary form, such as the sophistication of loom technology, some technologies are difficult to achieve in modern times.

In the Ming Dynasty, the national industry has been greatly developed, the military has a god machine battalion, the musket used is more advanced than the British and French powers that burned the Old Summer Palace, some people say that they died in Wanli, in fact, it is the Qing Dynasty history of the extreme slander, the Ming Dynasty Wanli is an extremely enlightened period in history, Mingshenzong is an emperor of the ages, extremely free speech, the cabinet-style court is talked about even in modern times.

On the contrary, during the Qing Dynasty, the history books were destroyed and changed by repairing the four libraries, and the text prison was called terror. The end of freedom of speech during the Wanli period was that the literary and historical officials dared to speak and record, which magnified the shortcomings of Wanli. In the Qing Dynasty's literary prison, you don't even have the right to record.

In the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, China began a prosperous era in the true sense, famous generals such as clouds, few defeats in internal and external wars, Wanli time Houjin can only be regarded as a border trouble, far from a threat, there is a foreign naval force, warships can directly hit the Japanese invaders, Ming Zheng crossed the Taiwan Strait, defeated the Dutch is even more proof.

From the Longqing switch in 1567 to the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, the total amount of silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty from overseas was about 353 million taels, and two-thirds of the world's trade was related to China.

On the other hand, the seclusion and seclusion that began in the so-called prosperous Kangqian era is the fundamental reason for the backwardness of modern times.
