"Nope." Hu Yan shook her head, dodged the jade bi stretched out, and said with a bitter face on her cheeks with her hands, "Xiaoqing, did you say that if a woman marries into her husband's family, she really wants to be appointed?" Think about how lively Miss Yang Jiaqi used to be, and when she was in her mother's house, she was also loved by thousands of people. But when I married into the Wang family, I had to do the work that only maids and subordinates did, and there was no way to do it, it was really bitter. ”

Knowing what Xiao Qing was worried about, Xiao Qing hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, if Miss gets married, what if the master and the adult are in charge of you?" No one will bully you. ”

"Nope." Hu Yan shook her head stubbornly, "The identity of the seventh sister of the Yang family is also not simple, her father is the elder Yang Rong, who is not worse than my grandfather, and is even stronger, but isn't it the same to suffer that way?" Alas, Xiaoqing, I suddenly don't want to get married. ”

As soon as Hu Yan said this, Xiaoqing didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so she sat down with her cheeks together, looked out the window and said, "Women are destined to get married, and they have to give birth to those men, this is our fate." ”

"But fate is also good and bad. Once you really marry someone like Wang Gou, wouldn't your life be ruined, so it's better not to marry a girl for a lifetime? Hu Yan shook her head, this incident had a great impact on her psychology, and it actually made her have a kind of premarital phobia that modern people have.

Seeing that Hu Yan was really a little disheartened, Xiaoqing was scared. If that's the case, I'm afraid that the lord and the adult will definitely ask themselves for their guilt when they find out, so how can it be good? Thinking of this, she was also a little frightened, but followed a person's name into her mind, "Miss, you can marry the young master of the Yang family, you see that he did not hesitate to break the law for the sake of his sister's affairs, and went to beat people to seek justice, such a man should be credible." ”

"Marrying the sixth young master of the Yang family? Is he really worth entrusting for life? At this moment, Hu Yan began to seriously consider this issue in her heart.

......

Flower Street!

Located near Chongwen Gate in the outer city of Beijing, here at night, it is red and willow green, countless dignitaries, rich businessmen can be seen here,

The Ming Dynasty had regulations that civil and military officials were not allowed to stay overnight and prostitute places. All officials and prostitutes have 60 rods, and the matchmaker is reduced by one, that is, he has to hit the board 60 times, and even the introducer has to be beaten. The children and grandchildren of officials prostitute and prostitute themselves also play 60 boards.

There was a commander of the Guangdong Hainan Wei to enter the table to Beijing and prostitutes. Thing, Wei Wei Yuanwei! This means that those who have military positions are not allowed to stay or prostitute, nor are they allowed to marry the musicians of the teaching department, otherwise they will be transferred to other health centers on errands. However, even though it is a punishment, it is still with a fortune.

A song of a merchant girl who does not know the hatred of the country, and still sings the flower after the river (court). Du Mu's two poems nailed the singers, of course, including prostitutes (women), to the pillar of shame, as if they were born to be cheap embryos. However, this is just a theory of shame and trouble. Who does the merchant girl sing for? Not for the meat eaters who shoulder the rise and fall of the country? Without them to listen to, are the singers so bored that they sing to the water? Singing to the trees? Singing to the wind? To put it bluntly, these poor women are just scapegoats for incompetent and unscrupulous men.

In this regard, Yang Chendong's view is indeed different from that of others. In his view, existence is reasonable, just like prostitutes and prostitutes, who have thought that they had broken off since ancient times. It's like when the republic was first established, it disappeared under a severe blow, but didn't it reappear as soon as the economy developed?

This is a kind of demand, and if there is a request, there must be a response. As long as it is used well, it can also reduce the occurrence of some crimes. Of course, the management should be standardized, such as paying taxes, regular physical examinations to ensure safety, and so on.

Of course, with Yang Chendong's current identity, it is impossible to bring up these things, that is, there is nothing to do.

Flower Street is different from ordinary Willow Lane, and the legal control here is also much weaker, most of the people here have skills, and most of them are selling their arts. Unless you really see the right eye, that's a different story. Because of this, officials don't need to be so scared when they appear here.

Coming here tonight, Yang Chendong also has the mentality of taking a look, and he is also looking for talents.

The so-called thirty and sixty lines, the line is the champion. What does this champion refer to? Of course, it's talent.

is like those female stars in later generations, it cannot be denied that there are good and clean, but most of them are in a state that only they know in their own hearts. In fact, I don't want to be like that in my bones, but in the general environment, what do I want them to do? If you don't dive, there will be no drama to pick up, so come and go, anyway, everyone else is so popular, and it doesn't matter if you succeed you. But it is undeniable that no matter what way they become popular, they also have certain abilities and can be regarded as talents.

Coming all the way from Yangjiazhuang, Yang Chendong had long known from the mouth of the fourth brother Yang Yang that there were two very famous Oirans in the Flower Street, who were famous for their skills and were the guests of many dignitaries. The most important thing is that they are really selling their art and not selling themselves, and being able to insist on doing this in such an environment still makes Yang Chendong appreciate it very much in his heart.

And the place I came to first today is called Nine Arts Square.

As we all know, the ancients had six arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

It is rumored that the Oiran Xiang lady does have nine arts, especially dance, and I don't know how many men have lingered and can't swallow it.

As far as the fourth brother Yang Yang said, this fragrant lady is born with a strange fragrance, which makes people want to smell and get drunk, even if she gets closer, it can make people's thoughts fly, and it is wonderful.

Yang Chendong believes this. In later generations, I often heard that someone had body odor on him, which is not surprising, but sweat has a special smell, which makes people smell fragrant.

It's just that although I've heard of it, I'm busy completing various tasks at the time, and I really haven't been in contact with such a woman. Now that I have the opportunity, I want to feel a thing or two.

Yang Yang is a gentleman, and places like Jiuyifang have naturally come to them before. It's just that the pocket is not rich, so every time the expenditure is not very happy, it doesn't give people a deep impression.

Now that he has the sixth brother by his side to pay the silver, Yang Yang's face is excited and excited, tonight it is time for him to show off, and it is also the moment when he spends a lot of money.

Sitting in the carriage outside the Nine Arts Workshop, Yang Yang excitedly lifted the curtain and went out. Taking advantage of this, Yang Chendong also noticed that the gate of the Nine Arts Square in front of him was nearly three zhang wide, showing its deep heritage.

At that time, how strong is a person's family? It is often seen by the width of the gate. This is the first impression left on Yang Chendong.

got out of the carriage, left Hu Mang and Yang Er by his side, let Yang San and Yang Si, who were driving the carriage, stay here, and after observing who were coming and going, under the pull of the elder brother and the fourth brother, holding a folding fan, Yang Chendong, who was also wearing green clothes, strode into the main nine arts.

As soon as they entered the gate, they were greeted by a small servant and showed them the way, but after more than 20 steps forward, they came to a large courtyard with a height of two floors. You can already hear the voice of a warbler and a swallow.

"Yo, isn't this Fourth Master Yang?" A woman in her thirties who was greeting guests at the door saw Yang Yang and recognized his identity at a glance, and immediately pretended to be surprised and shouted, and then the fragrant breeze was blowing in her nose and rushed over like this.

"Haha." Seeing this scene, Yang Yang first looked up to the sky and laughed, and then naturally let the woman rush to the front, grabbed his arm, and casually, a piece of silver weighing five taels was put into the woman's wrist, and then naturally asked, "Is Xiang Niangzi here?" ”

As soon as he made a move, it was five taels of silver, and Yang Yang had never been so generous before. In this way, the woman who welcomed the guest was happy, and said in a loud voice, "Fourth Master Yang's luck is good, Xiang Niangzi will play and sing a song tonight, I'm afraid it will start in a while." ”

"Yes, that relationship is good, and people lead the way." Yang Yang nodded with a smile, and then touched the other party's chin with his hand, and then walked into the courtyard with a laugh.

At this time, another maid had already stepped forward, carrying a lantern, and led Yang Si and his party into the courtyard. While walking, Yang Yang said to Yang Chendong who was following him: "The one just now was the welcoming girl, and it was served by some female artists who were out of breath. In fact, they were also a little famous when they were young, but now that they are old, they can't dance, sing, or play, and they are from lowly backgrounds, and they have no way out, so they started such a business. It's quite pitiful, and for this reason, when you can afford to take care of it, usually the guests will give them some silver. ”

It seemed that he was afraid that if he gave five taels of silver, the sixth brother would blame himself, so Yang Yang explained.

"It's okay, the fourth brother looks at it, and the money is fine." Yang Chendong smiled and shook his head, to him, this mere five taels of silver is really nothing. I'm afraid that if they go out to grab it casually in Kaohsiung, I don't know how many five taels of silver will come in.

Seeing that Yang Chendong really had an indifferent expression, Yang Yang had confidence in his heart, and then he said to the girl who led the way in front of him: "Lord is not bad for money, find a good position, this is a reward for you." As he spoke, two taels of silver were sent over.

"Thank you for the reward, and the slave family will take you to the best location." Seeing that the reward was so generous to herself, the maid looked happy and led the way to be more attentive.

The courtyard is brightly lit, and I don't know how many candles have been lit or how many lanterns have been hung, so this alone must not be too little. Of course, the guests who can come here are also small families, and casual tips and maintenance expenses are enough.
