Li Ang put forward such an absurd reason, it seems a little out of place, however, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the Qinglou is not as dirty as imagined, at least, the emphasis here is on fair trade, Tong Su is not bullied, no, there should be no children here, but there are a lot of old men, in short, as long as you are rich, you can enjoy the treatment of an uncle, and you can do whatever you want, whether it is eating and drinking, listening to music, chanting poetry, or making friends, having fun, it is okay.

In addition, the girls in the Qinglou have very good eyesight, even if they find that the customer has any problems, they generally will not say it explicitly, and will take care of the customer's face very much, which is very satisfying, which is also the reason why men like to go to the Qinglou, which can relax their body and mind well and relieve their tired state.

However, for women, this is not the case, men will be very comfortable when they see the charming Qinglou girl with flowers and branches, but women will be disgusted when they see such a Qinglou girl, this may be same-sex repulsion! It's like a man who sees some men who are cool all day long and flirt with their sisters when they have nothing to do, it is also very uncomfortable, and they will feel that such people are very annoying, and even want to go up and beat them.

Such an example has not happened, not only in ancient times, but also in later societies, such as some unreliable men, in order to get attention, go to the street to harass beautiful girls during the live broadcast, if the girl does not agree to harass, she will stick to others with a dead face, and even meet the standard of sexual harassment, it can be said that it is very disgusting, and such people will inevitably be beaten, and they deserve to be beaten to death, who let you harass others.

"Husband, why do you want to go to the Qinglou to sit! Isn't it to show my stuff when I go like this? ”

Yan Ruyu was naturally unwilling.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, the little lady in the Qinglou, that's all thieves and thieves, a beautiful woman like Madame, no matter how disguised she is, can't hide it from them, forget it, then don't go!" ”

Seeing that Yan Ruyu was reluctant to go, and Ang Li himself was not very interested, he simply didn't go.

In fact, this area is all green buildings, which is also a major feature of Pingkangfang, there are more green buildings here, there are hundreds of them, this is still on the surface, and there may be more in fact.

"Woooooooooo......oo Brother, don't sell me, I don't want to go to the Qinglou. ”

Although the surrounding noise is very loud, this cry can still be heard, at the door of a green building, a girl who does not look very old, is crying sadly, and the woman next to her is impatient.

"Sister, there is no money at home, there is no way but to sell you, besides, what's bad about Qinglou, delicious food and drink, and you can wear beautiful clothes, if you are taken by a rich person, buy it back and be a concubine, then you will be blessed in this life."

The man spoke.

"No, no, I don't want to wear nice clothes, I don't want to be a concubine, I just want to go home."

The little lady said with tears in her eyes.

The man was even more angry, and scolded: "It's not that you can do whatever you want, today you have to be willing if you are willing, you have to be willing if you are not willing, you will be here in the future." ”

"No, no, no, I don't want ......"

The little lady began to weep.

The old bustard, who had been standing still, smiled contemptuously and said: "Okay, don't cry, every little lady who has just been sold here is unwilling, just get used to it in the future, you will treat this place as your home, come here, bring people in and lock them up first." ”

"Let go of me, let go of my ......"

The little girl has been struggling, although her strength is not strong, but her heart is ruthless enough, she bites desperately with one mouth, and howls loudly when she bites a big man in the Qinglou, and has to let go of her hand, while the other big man is afraid of being bitten, so he instinctively takes a step back, so that the little lady has a chance to escape.

The little lady who bought it ran away, how could this loss be bearable, the old bustard angrily scolded his thugs and shouted: "You group of waste, don't hurry up and chase it, catch me back." ”

At this time, it is the period of the lantern festival, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, chasing a little lady is not an easy thing, it is inevitable to hit people, and some pedestrians are not fuel-efficient lamps, they will be haunted by being hit, they can't entangle the poor, but they are quietly entangled with rich people.

"It's so pitiful, this man is really hateful, he actually wants to sell his own sister to the Qinglou."

Yan Ruyu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes! This world is like this, this kind of thing happens almost every day, although Datang is getting richer and richer, but not everyone can get rich, there are always some poor people who will fall into the situation of selling their children and daughters, and they will get used to it after watching too much. ”

Li An said helplessly.

It's not so much that I'm used to it, it's better to be numb, because many laws and regulations in this era can't be changed by myself, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters won't cease to exist because of the appearance of Ang Lee, even if it is a society in later generations, the law does not allow the existence of Qinglou, but there are still many women who have to engage in such an industry, some are deceived into this industry by scammers, and some are voluntary, in order to pay the least amount of labor and get the highest pay.

The little lady who ran away just now was sold by her brother, not out of voluntariness, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, how many women in the Qinglou were not sold by their families, it is estimated that many of them were sold to the Qinglou, some of them were poor people who couldn't afford to raise children, and some of them were gamblers in the family and had no money to pay off their gambling debts, of course, there were some women who couldn't find a way out and were forced to work in the Qinglou.

In short, all the women who entered the Qinglou were either because of poverty or forced, and there were people in the family who broke the law and were charged into official prostitutes, none of them were really willing.

In this world, who would really be cheap and take the initiative to work in the green building? Even if there is really a woman who has a greater desire, it should be to hook up with the handsome and golden son, there is no need to go to a place like Qinglou, although there are more rich people here, but there are many old ugly and perverted people, why torture yourself so much.

Anyway, Ang Lee has no ability to change all this anyway, and although Ang Lee's strength is very strong, this kind of thing can't be managed.

The little lady ran quite fast, but in the end, she was caught by a few big men, and in the process of chasing, there was some chaos, some people were knocked down, and some were injured, and screamed, and such a big change, how could she escape the attention of the officials, and soon, a team of officials followed.

"Husband, this little lady is so pitiful! Can you save her? ”

Yan Ruyu had compassion and pleaded.

"Madam is really kind-hearted, but this kind of thing happens every day, even if I save this little lady today, there are many, many more like this, and I can't save it."

Li An said helplessly.

This kind of rescue is like a chivalrous man, who draws a knife to help when he sees injustice, at most he can save very few people, and it cannot change this situation and solve the problem fundamentally.

"But this little lady, we have seen it, it happened in front of our eyes, we can't help it!"

Yan Ruyu said.

Li An thought for a while, looked at Yan Ruyu, and asked, "It's not difficult to save her, but what about after you save her?" This little lady is at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was sold by her brother in the family, if she goes home, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be sold again, and if she does not go home, but such a young lady, where can she support herself, sooner or later she will be left to fend for herself. ”

This is not a lie, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention such a young girl, even if she is an adult woman, it is difficult to support herself, so when a woman grows up, she can't wait to get married, so that she can live better.

However, in fact, Ang Lee ignored his influence, after the advancement of industrialization, there are more and more workshops in Datang, some heavy physical workshops are only suitable for men to work, but there are also many workshops that are very suitable for women to work, so that women can support themselves as long as they want.

It's just that the poor little lady in front of her is too small, if she enters the workshop, there is a suspicion of recruiting child labor, but it is not a big deal, Datang does not stipulate that child labor is not allowed, as long as you are willing, children can also enter the workshop to work, as long as you can do it well, and child labor that is not good will naturally not be wanted, and children who are too young are weak, and no one will accept them.

"Husband, I forgot, we have a lot of workshops, let her go to work in our workshop, so that she can support herself, if there is no place to live, then it is good to live in the workshop, many sisters in the workshop live in the workshop every other day."

Yan Ruyu said.

"Madame wants to arrange this little lady in the workshop? How many children are there in the workshop for such a young child? ”

"Not much, the smallest ones, probably only so big!"

"Oh, since Madame has decided to have her, then it's done."

Li An said, giving the guard next to him a look and asking the guard to take care of this matter.

After being caught, the little lady still wanted to repeat the old trick and bite the big man who grabbed her, but how could the big man be hit again, she had already taken precautions, and took advantage of the situation to stuff a dirty cloth into the little lady's mouth.

The little lady has a lot of scars on her body, there are a lot of blood stains on her forehead and clothes, and there are also a lot of blood stains on the corners of her mouth.

At the door of the Qinglou, although the old bustard didn't speak, he and the leading official eyebrows, it seemed that the two had known each other for a long time, and maybe they were good friends.

After all, if a shop like Qinglou wants to open well, it must have an official background, and the officials who wander around the neighborhood all day long obviously can't be offended, otherwise something will happen and no one will help them carry it.

For example, some guests don't give money, make trouble in the Qinglou, these officials will come to arrest people, or some of the little ladies who have just bought are disobedient, refuse to receive guests, and are beaten to death by thugs, if this is investigated, it is also very troublesome, and if the officials turn a blind eye, then this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, so, these officials on duty are the backers that the owner of the Qinglou must encompass, of course, this is only the most basic backer, if you want to gain a firm foothold, We also need bigger and more powerful backers, so that we can become bigger and stronger.

"If you hit someone, you want to forget it, lose money, lose money."

Several young men who were hit shouted loudly.

These guys are not fuel-efficient lamps at first glance, and it is estimated that they are usually the masters who are looking for trouble, and now they have such a good opportunity, how can they just forget it, and they are sorry for their bad reputation if they don't make any money.

There are more and more people around, there are not many people in this place, but because something happened, there are more and more people, these people are so boring, they always like to watch the excitement, it seems that if they don't go to see the excitement, they are sorry for themselves.

"Shut up, shout anything, and if you shout again, you will be arrested as a troublemaker."

When the leading official saw that someone was making trouble, he scolded loudly.

One of the troublemakers also knew the leading officer, and hurriedly shouted: "Lao Chen, I am a law-abiding Tang people, these people knocked me down just now, look, the palms of my hands are bleeding, so I have to pay some medical expenses!" ”

"You Tian Shelang, don't you just rub a little skin, and dare to ask for medical expenses, your skin is really thick enough."

Naturally, the leading officials will not help this splash skin, because there is nothing to fish on these splash skins, and the old bustard is different, and he will definitely be able to get something from it.

"Oops, it really hurts, I have to give some anyway, this can't bleed in vain!"

"Hey! The guts are getting fatter and fatter, dare to pretend in front of Lao Tzu, pretend again, and get out. ”

The leading official got angry and drove away a few splashes with a single word.

"What happened to you guys?"

When the official heard it, he felt that it was not a big deal, and he was ready to drive away the crowd and let everyone disperse, but a guard said something in his ear, which made him so frightened that he quickly glanced in the direction of Li An, and then nodded respectfully.

"It's okay, it's all gone, it's all gone!"

The official first drove away more and more onlookers, and then, walking up to the bustard in person, asked, "This little lady, let's let it go!" ”

"The old lady paid for it, and you let me let it go."

The official said: "There is a big man who has taken a fancy to it, you have to let it go if you don't let it go, it's just a little lady, and you can't make trouble." ”

"Who is it that has such a big face that scares you like this?"

The old bustard said unconvinced.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, it's someone your master can't afford to provoke, so you should spend money to buy peace! If not, just these guys beat the little lady on the street just now and ruined the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, which is enough to punish you for being distressed and unable to sleep! ”

The official said.
