Chapter 365
The three of them sat in the Yungui Pavilion for a while, and Chao Yong suddenly said, "Let's have dinner in Cuiwei Hall at noon." ”
Cuiwei Hall is built on the rockery, carved beams and painted buildings, very exquisite.
Chao Yong did not give the Cuiwei Palace to the concubines, after all, this Cuiwei Palace is the highest palace in the Imperial Palace.
Hu Sanniang and Xiaoqing have only been to Cuiwei Hall occasionally, after all, although this rockery is tall, there are Yungui Pavilion and Layer Pavilion to rest, and they don't have to go to Cuiwei Palace.
Chao Yong only went to Cuiwei Hall once, and in his eyes, these palaces are almost the same, each one is very exquisite, the difference is just that the people inside are different.
When everyone arrived at the Cuiwei Palace, Chao Yong suddenly had a whim, and asked people to send all the women he had favored to eat together.
Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang sat on the main seat, the left and right rows were small desks, and there were beautiful concubines sitting in the back, and the desks were full of delicacies.
Chao Yong didn't count it, it turned out that he had pampered more than 30 concubines a few days ago.
With Hu Sanniang here, these concubines have converged a lot, but they also have to secretly send Qiubo during the banquet.
After drinking and eating, Chao Yong said to a concubine: "I remember that you seem to be good at dancing, why don't you dance for everyone." ”
Chen Jiaonu is also a show girl who has just entered the palace this year, and Zhao Ji has not had time to enjoy it, so she cheapens Chao Yong. Weak and boneless, good at dancing, and of course, there is a special taste in the bed.
Over the years, there will be show girls entering the palace every year, and even more people entering the palace than leaving the palace, because there are many traitors in the court, and each of them only wants to please Zhao Ji, and this draft girl is naturally the most commonly used means. However, Zhao Ji is infatuated with Master Li, and there are many concubines, in fact, many show girls can't even see Zhao Ji after entering the palace, so they can only wait in the palace. After a long time, she became a palace maid. One day, when Zhao Ji suddenly takes a fancy to them, they can become concubines, otherwise they will be the subordinates who serve the concubines.
Chen Jiaonu didn't expect Chao Yong to remember her, so she stood up happily, walked to the hall, and danced, although there was no musician, her dance was still very rhythmic.
But she was wearing a dress today, when she raised her legs and lowered her waist. The grassy land looms and is very attractive.
Hu Sanniang also saw Chao Yong's desire, so she said: "Prince, Feng'er should go to bed, there are many people here, so the slave family will take her back to Ruizhu Palace." ”
She also knew what was going to happen in this hall, and although she was not jealous, she did not want to serve the prince with other women without shame. occasionally serving the prince with Xiaoqing, in her opinion, it is already extremely embarrassing. If she messes around with these many people, she doesn't know how she will meet people in the future.
Chao Yong also saw Hu Sanniang's thoughts, but he didn't want to embarrass Hu Sanniang, and he was on the side. smiled: "Xiaoqing will send Sanniang down." ”
Xiaoqing was not stupid, she glanced at Chao Yong and accompanied Hu Sanniang out of the palace together.
As soon as Hu Sanniang left, the women in the hall no longer had any scruples. One by one, they scratched their heads and made gestures to seduce Chao Yong, and several concubines who could dance even walked into the middle and danced beautifully.
Soon. It made Chao Yong beastly and ignited a big battle. The battlefield was transferred from the Cuiwei Hall to the Yungui Pavilion, the Layer Pavilion, and then back to the Cuiwei Palace.
Chao Yong doesn't know how many people have been spoiled, it should be that everyone has been pampered, Chao Yong saw a woman who didn't take the initiative and looked for it, there should be no fish that slipped through the net.
It wasn't until it got dark and the people lit candles that Chao Yong stopped. Chao Yong looked at the thousands of charming women in the hall, and the shadow of war was long gone.
Love is always the best way to treat the sequelae of war, and Chao Yong has not forgotten the soldiers on the front line.
He knew that it was not because he came from a later life that he would have the sequelae of war, in fact, most soldiers were afraid of cleaning up the battlefield. Therefore, Chao Yong handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the deputy army to avoid making the main army have demons.
The deputy army does not have to fight, and is mostly responsible for building bridges and transporting baggage on weekdays, which is actually the work of the auxiliary soldiers. However, many deputy soldiers would rather do hard work than clean up the battlefield, and the battlefield after the war was too bloody, and it was really a nerve-testing job to bury the bloody people with their own hands.
Many people bury their comrades during the day, and at night they dream that their comrades come to him.
Chao Yong decided that after the army went south this time, he would give the army a day off and find some camp prostitutes, so that they could enjoy the good things and forget the cruel war.
The Northern Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most prostitutes, and the imperial court also collected a lot of taxes from prostitutes every year.
In the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the Qinglou was opened by the imperial court, and the prostitutes had to be registered, that is, they were registered as prostitutes, which were all official prostitutes.
When Su Shi was a magistrate in Qiantang, there was a prostitute named Nine-Tailed Fox, and he was dismissed in one day. Dongpo judged the clouds: "Five days of Jingzhao, freedom of judgment; The nine-tailed wild fox is good and convenient. Another prostitute also begged to settle down, but Dongpo sentenced: "Dunzhao Nanzhihua is commendable; The group of empty Hebei North, please do not allow. ”
One is accurate and one is not accurate, it can be seen that it is not so easy to be good.
Of course, these are all official prostitutes, the Northern Song Dynasty had developed commerce, and there would be no shortage of businessmen to make a living, coupled with the relatively enlightened politics of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were slowly Qinglou opened by merchants, among which prostitutes were mostly raised by businessmen since childhood, or bought from distressed women.
The women in Qinglou are all prostitutes, but there are also some women who do not want to enter prostitution, but they are forced to live and have to sell their bodies. That is, private prostitutes, they live in some restaurants, even steamed bun shops, tea restaurants, to promote the sale of wine, steamed buns as a cover, and also do prostitute business behind the scenes, some hotels have a secret pavilion, so that guests and these private prostitutes have fun. However, most restaurants do not dare to provide this convenience, and if there is a prostitute who has negotiated with a customer, they will go to the prostitute's home to complete the transaction.
There are also many private prostitutes who don't go to restaurants, bun shops or anything, they just look for customers directly on the street, and then pull them to their homes.
Wine and color promote each other, which is a way for the Northern Song Dynasty court to make money, because wine is a monopoly of the imperial court, and prostitutes are mostly official prostitutes.
In addition to the official prostitutes in the Northern Song Dynasty who were in the Qinglou or the restaurant, the rest were camp prostitutes, and what they needed to serve were soldiers from all over the country.
After the establishment of the Great Liang, Chao Gai intended to reduce the number of official prostitutes, and no longer wantonly demoted the female dependents of criminals to official prostitutes, and only a few of the most heinous people and female dependents were demoted to camp prostitutes. After Daliang was exempted from agricultural taxes, taxes relied on commerce, so Chao Gai did not want to cause major turmoil in commerce, so he could only slowly reduce official prostitutes. (To be continued......)
PS: There is a strange woman in the camp prostitute of this era, hehe
