When the dog's parents were alive, they married him a daughter-in-law. That's a good lady, and after the door, she is a virtuous and virtuous husband and godchild.

After the death of his hometown, he took two concubines by himself, and he was not satisfied, so he often went to the land of fireworks to play tea and linger in the Qingyin small class.

There are many brothels in the area behind the Hou family of Tianjin Wei, which has been very prosperous since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, the southern depression adjacent to the old city and the Japanese concession was filled in, and the overseers Li Chun and Chen Guangyuan established a real estate company in Tianjin Wei to build houses there. Wealthy businessmen and warlords and bureaucrats also followed, forming the later Nanshi "Three Regardless".

After the twenties of the last century, the Hou family went into decline, and the three sides of Nanshi began to rise. Third, whether it was the famous gold cave in Tianjin at that time, and the first brothel that appeared here was also a brothel, so it was really called "the prince enters, the eunuch comes out!" ”

The brothels in the old days were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, but they were not like in the TV series, where they took off their clothes and went to the kang when they gave money to enter the door. Only the most inferior brothels and secret prostitutes will go to the kang after receiving money.

The first-class brothel is not called a brothel in the green building, it is called a "book apartment". The houses are built in accordance with the ancient form of happy households, with a square of bricks and tiles of a single-door courtyard, as if it were the official residence of an official or a large household. These are all regular brothels, licensed but without signs, called Shuyu or Shuguan. The exterior is the same as that of the dwellings, and each house has a bustard mother who is in charge. The other servant cupboard is readily available, and there are two personal old mothers serving the girl, which is actually surveillance.

This girl is also divided into several types: "selling body", "holding body", "pawning body" and "free body".

Everyone understands this selling body, that is, being sold into the Qinglou. Most of them were abducted by human traffickers or sold directly by their families.

For example, this man is poor or likes to smoke a lot, or is good at gambling, and mortgages his relatives, wives and daughters in a brothel, and gets the mortgage money, which is similar to the current mortgage meaning, that is, mortgage people here and take the money away. When the redeemer has to pay according to the principal on the deed plus high interest, the interest is quite high and similar to usury.

This pawn body is similar to the pawn body, but the contract before the pawn must stipulate that the body is not allowed to be redeemed for a few years, and of course, it is not allowed to redeem the body again after the age limit.

This free body is different, it is called playing tickets without taking pawns, and the girls who bet money are called free bodies. To put it bluntly, it is to use this land to earn money to eat, and you can choose a mate to marry.

The girls in this first-class brothel do not necessarily have to be outstanding, they have to be embarrassed to be embarrassed by the sunken fish and geese, but they must be talented, able to recite poems, play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, play singing and dancing, and be able to drink and socialize. Because the people who go in and out of the first-class brothel are all businessmen and wealthy officials, or rich gentlemen, the girls have to often accompany them to attend dinners, play cards and chess, so they must be comprehensive.

The second-class brothel is called Qingyin Xiaoban, or becomes a team. It is also officially open with a license. The building compound is large in scale and there are many girls. In addition to the bustard mother, there are also some male leaders commonly known as "turtle head" or "Wang Ba", and the guy in the turtle slave is called "big teapot". Then there is the old mother, who is responsible for serving the girls when they go out to watch the play and buy the east and west, and also monitors and supervises these girls.

In addition to calculating the money of management income and the girl's small account, this team often helps the girls write love letters and poems, and can also help the team attract business.

Qingyin's small class is much worse than the book, there is a signboard outside the door, and it earns money by "selling plates" and "selling games". Three or four guests entered the team, chose a girl, someone brought in a plate of melon seeds, a plate of paper cigarettes and tea and fruits, and the girl accompanied the guests to talk and laugh behind closed doors, which is called selling plates or playing tea. The seller is the night when the girl sleeps with the customer. If the guests fall in love with any girl, they will stay overnight.

The third class is called a hall or a class hall, with a maximum of more than ten people. The girl is poor in appearance and older, and the objects of service are also some idlers or small traders.

In the past, in addition to waiting for customers in the brothel, some prostitutes in the second- and third-class brothels often went to Tianhe Luozi Hall or other teahouses to take the stage and sing some erhuang, bangzi, drums, and so on, in order to attract customers. This Tianhe Luozi House is a teahouse located behind the Hou family, in which most of the prostitutes take turns to sing various tunes, mostly vulgar and obscene obscene songs, tea customers can also sing on the spot, called "poke work", if you like which prostitute can go to the tea circle again, some teahouses are actually prostitutes' places for prostitutes.

These four classes are called Qinglou or secret prostitutes. This kind of secret prostitution in the southern city does not matter the most, most of them have poor facilities, narrow houses, and half-open and half-hidden doors, and most of them serve some small traders, do odd jobs or go to the city. Most of the prostitutes are prostitutes who have retired from second- and third-class brothels, and most of them are old and decrepit, and most of them are unhygienic and infected with willow disease. There is an old bungalow in the third place of the old South City, which was used for this in the old days.

There is also a kind of person called Xianggong, also called Xianggu, that is, a man who looks more charming, applies rouge and powder, wears women's clothes, and drinks with men for fun. This kind of same-sex male pet was later banned by Yuan Shikai, and it was rare during the Republic of China.

I am telling you this, but I am not teaching people to learn badly, we are talking about the old society, at that time, the country was weak and the people were poor, how could it be compared to today. In the past, the toiling masses were oppressed, and many times the people at the bottom chose to make a living.

Let's get back to business, Fuhualou and Tianbaoban, which are frequented by dogs, are all brothels in Tianjin, but his favorite is the Nanshi Huale Club. Just because he was in the Chinese Music Club, he fell in love with a fan named "Qiu Yue", and he had to redeem Qiu Yue and take her as a concubine. But Liu Dashao, another well-known gentleman of Tianjin Wei, also fell in love with Qiuyue.

This Liu Dashao is the only son in the family, and the family is also open for business, and there are two antique shops in Guodian Street and the North Gate. The old lady of the Liu family is a well-numbered figure in the antique shop, and her family background is very thick. Liu Dashao is an expert in spending money, the leader of the loser, and the only skill to grow up is to scatter wealth, and he has a nickname called "Scattering Wealth Boy" behind him.

It is said that on July 7 of this year, the Tangram Festival, several Fengyue fields in Nanshi jointly held an "Oiran Conference". All the prostitutes came out to run, and finally the three Oirans were selected: the champion, the Bangyan, and the Tanhua. Although Qiu Yue is also pretty, she is not ranked among the top three, but the two of Gou Shao and the Fortune Boy fell in love with Qiu Yue at a glance and had to redeem Qiu Yue.

In order to earn Qiuyue, the two can be said to have spent a lot of money. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the kiln, and both of them are customers who spend money, and no one can afford to offend, and they quarrel for a while.

On that day, the candle shadow shook red and filled the house, two tables of first-class banquets were placed, and the two losers sat at two tables.

Bustard Niang raised her eyes and looked at the two young masters, and sighed softly:

"Alas! I've been in the party for a few years, but I've never seen two sons so affectionate! It's really moving! ”

She took out a big handkerchief again, wiped the corners of her eyes with three pretenses, as if she had really shed tears, and then said:

"If this autumn moon is given to you Zhang Gongzi......" The bustard's mother looked at the dog Shao, and then looked at the scattered wealth boy and said:

"I'm sorry for your Liu Gongzi, but I'm going to give you your Liu Gongzi......" looked back at the dog Shao:

"I'm sorry for you Zhang Gongzi......"

"Alas! …… Good people who want to do our business. They are all hard-working people, and it is not easy to find a sincere Lang Jun'er......"

Saying that, the bustard mother looked at the two young and old, and her little round eyes rolled around:

"Then you have to see, who ...... Truly sincere to our girls! ”

Fools can also hear it, this is to be sincere, this is to be silver. It is clear that the left side is fanned and the right side is lit up, and the two young masters are tied to each other.

"Bang" in his life, Gou Shao slapped a 500 yuan official silver ticket on the table. Bustard's mother has seen the master of money, and she hasn't even raised her eyelids. She shook a fan in her upper hand, the fan bone of Xiangfei bamboo, the fan surface of Suzhou embroidered silk, and even the fan pendant was full of green jade, which was worth a hundred oceans at the most.

"Humph! Wu Dalang flies a kite - the shot is not high! Do you still want to hug the beauty? The Fortune Boy let out two sneers, and as soon as he raised his hand, the servant next to him took out a Citibank check for 1,000 yuan from the small wooden box in his hand.

Let's not talk about the amount of money and the lack of money, the small box where the check is put is the high-grade small leaf red sandalwood. The workmanship of the box is fine and ancient, and you can know that it is an old object by looking at the slightly hanging pulp. It is a hollow carved plug-in lid box, and there are several large eastern pearls inlaid on the four sides, all of which are full and round, revealing a radiant glow.

As soon as you look at this box, you can see that it is an object flowing from the palace. Although the old man of the Liu family is an old man in the antique shop, and he has the ability to appreciate the ancients, Liu Dashao, this wealthy boy, is a toad jumping into the well for antiques - I don't understand (knock).

Tianjin dialect said that this is a "foodie" who sells baked cakes without dry food, although he has two or five eyes on antique jade, but he is clear about eating, drinking and having fun. He didn't know that this box was the jewelry box of the former Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty.

That year, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded the city of Beijing, and Galeries Lafayette fled in a hurry, and the box and the beaded headdress were scattered to the people. Once Mr. Liu went to Beijing Liuli Factory to string goods, this string of goods is the jargon in the antique shop, and it is similar to the common people rushing to the market. Old man Liu got this box by chance, although it was only an empty box, but this workmanship material is also a rare high-quality goods. Old man Liu got a box and used it to hold a few pieces of fine Tianhuang stone, but as a result, Liu Dashao, a wealthy boy, looked good, and secretly took it out as a box for money.

As for the cheque on the table, not everyone recognizes it.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, foreigners opened foreign firms in Tianjin, and at that time many Chinese compradors were hired to help the two countries conduct bilateral trade. In order to facilitate the use of funds, a large number of foreign banks came to China to open branches, and Citibank was one of the American banks, which was represented by the famous St. Regis at that time, so since then, checks have been circulating in China. Although this check is rare for ordinary people, but the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is different, and there are often people who spend a lot of money here, so the bustard mother can recognize the good thing of the check.

"Alas! That's it! The 500 just now is not the asking price, 500 is counted, that is the tea money today! ”

Gou Shaoyi stretched out his hand and took out two more silver tickets, each of which was two thousand yuan. This is called 4,000 yuan. There are many poor people in Tianjin Wei, and there are so many people who can't eat and fall on the road, not to mention 4,000 yuan, I haven't even seen forty yuan in my life, there are many people. These two losers are fighting for a prostitute here, but they throw hundreds of thousands of money out, and they really have frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat.

But that's the end of it, this is a rat pulling a wooden shovel - the big head is behind. It didn't take long for the money on the table to pile up tens of thousands of dollars. On the stacks of silver tickets, there were two pieces of jade, a few precious stone rings, two pearl chains, and even the box containing the money of the boy who had just scattered wealth. Everyone thought that the money brought by the two prodigal sons had been cleaned, but they didn't think that this was not the end.

At this time, the dog pulled his sleeves, slowly raised his hand and raised his thumb, only to see that he had a jade wrench on his thumb, and he was deliberately selling pies. Gou Shao reached out and pulled the wrench off his thumb and pressed it on the silver ticket.

Dog Shao's hand is the best old pit jade wrench, the old pit originally refers to the old pit, with glass jade as the top, Gou Shao's jade wrench, emerald green and clear as water, is a priceless baby.

In the eyes of the bustard's mother, she is carrying water and looking at the big river - it's all money. She was so happy that her face was full of powder, her face was full of wrinkles, and her mouth was grinning as if she was about to bite.

"Shout......! It can be seen that Zhang Dashao is a seed of infatuation that Shanbo is reincarnated, Zhang Sheng is reincarnated, and he is alive."

said that joy turned into sadness, and wiped his tears in a fake way:

"This is really, it's easy to ask for priceless treasures, it's rare to have a lover!"

As she spoke, the bustard mother was about to stretch out her hand to pull the money on the table, and the boy was in a hurry, so he slapped the table and reached out to take out a small flannel bag from his arms, opened the bag and took out something and put it on the table.

It turned out to be a yellow stone. The stone is the size of a handful, with a waxy luster, and it is so moist when placed there, and the onlookers are not close to amazement, I have seen Tian Huangshi, but I have never seen such a large piece!

This Tian Huang is Tian Huang Stone, since ancient times, there are one or two Tian Huang ten taels of gold, the so-called scarce is expensive, Tian Huang Shi was mined in the early years, so the market price is also rising, I am afraid that today it is one or two Tian Huang and a pound of gold are more than that.

Although Liu Dashao, a boy who scattered wealth, was a "mallet" for Jinshi antiques, he also knew that Tian Huang was a good thing, and when he secretly beat the small wooden box out of the house, he even came out of Tian Huang inside.

As soon as the piece of Tian Huang in the hand of the scattered wealth boy was placed on the table, it shook a lot. Although this Tian Huang is precious, it was not extremely rare at that time, but the high-grade Tian Huang that can be seen on the market is not very large. The piece taken out by the scattered wealth boy is the size of a hand, and the color is golden and delicate and moist, warm and moist like jade, under the lamplight, the translucent texture shows a trace of clear radish lines. The stone skin is carved with the mountain stone ancient pine pavilion small building, between the gurgling water, a person is drunk lying on the side of the stone holding a cup, as if in the chanting of poetry as a gift, extremely expressive. If you don't look at anything else, you will rush at this carving, this head, which is also rare in the world.

The spectators on the side are discussing, the stakes on both sides of this competition are stacked higher and higher, and everyone is more and more frightened, only the bustard mother cranks the fan, the happy eyebrows are smiling, the mouth is grinning, if there are no ears to block, can grin to the back of the head.

Those two flowers are big and young, it is you who throw the ring and I throw the pendant, you scatter the silver and I scatter the gold, and the money is spent!

At this time, there was a "bang". The door was kicked open, and a crowd of people burst in! The visitors were all tall and well-dressed. Two hundred and eighteen people lined up on both sides of the line, and an old man slowly walked out of it.

Bustard Niang was about to have a seizure, but she saw the old man, well-dressed and dignified, the white jade wrench fingers in his hand were smooth and smooth, and the gold watch chain on his chest was shining, and he looked like a rich and powerful old man. Look at the big men on both sides, all of them are tall, with a thin waist and a back, and they poke the iron tower at the same time, so they dare not make a mistake.

It turned out to be the father of the wealthy boy Liu Dashao, Old Man Liu, who was bringing people to arrest the rebel. Old man Liu glared angrily, looked at the belongings on the table, and saw that the piece of Tianhuang stone and the box containing the stone were also placed on the table, his beard trembled with anger, and he raised his hand to give Liu Dashao a big mouth, which made the scattered wealth boy turn around three times in place, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding straight down.

This fortune boy is also a boil on the tail of a rat - not much pus. Seeing that the old man was really angry, he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and he didn't even dare to hold back his fart. obediently rolled up the belongings on the table and was escorted home by several big men.

This brothel is not vegetarian, and there are also one or twenty dozen people in the hospital to guard the house, in case someone comes here to make trouble. This kung fu carried a stick, and the whole circle came up at a hula, and when the old bustard gave an order, he was going to start fighting.

Bustard Niang's white eyes rolled, and she glared at Old Man Liu with slanted eyes and said:

"Roar! Do you know what is this? We've got cards, the Overseer's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and the strong man led by Old Man Liu's side stretched out his hand and patted it on a Huanghuali Taishi chair, and the four legs of the chair were embedded in the terrazzo floor tiles. There were four holes in the stone brick floor, but the chair was undamaged. This is not something that ordinary people can do, it is about the strength of a hand, you can't come without a hand of cinnabar palm, and at first glance this is a practitioner who has been taught by a master.

At that time, this kung fu was bright, and the scene was silent. Looking at the nursing home in the courtyard holding back their hands, it was all like a deflated ball at this time, and no one dared to squeak and stab anymore. Old man Liu raised his hand and threw out a handful of silver dollars, and without saying a word, he took his son and walked out of the courtyard surrounded by strong men.

This silver dollar is clearly the tea money given for Young Master Zhou, as well as the money that smashed the floor tiles just now. Old man Liu is a person with an identity, and he doesn't want to talk nonsense with the old bustard, for fear of dirty mouth. But money must be given, so it is not a word to throw the money away and leave.

After all, Bustard Niang is in the skin and meat business, and she has been weathered for a long time, and she is the master who watches people put down dishes, although she did not shake the majesty, and she also made a big nest of roast chicken, but she was stunned to endure the fire in her heart, and greeted the guests with a smile.

The scattered wealth boy withdrew from the finals, and Gou Shao naturally won the competition and won the autumn moon. Although the money has been spent countless and a house has been built, I still feel that I have picked up a big leak in my heart, which is the radish of the purple heart - the beauty of the heart.

He hurriedly asked the bustard mother to call the bookkeeper of the brothel, write the redemption document, sign and draw on both sides, and happily took Qiuyue home. This time, there is a good wife and three concubines in the family, just enough for a table of mahjong.

In fact, there is more to dogs than that. He also has one of his biggest hobbies, "fighting insects", which is fighting crickets. Just because of the crickets, he lost all his family.

If you want to say that people have a battle array to kill and kill tricks, you may have seen a lot, but if you want to say that insects can use tricks to deceive, you may not have heard of it!
