Chapter 417: Wandering the Yard

After listening to this, Liu Ruhu was about to praise the majesty of the adult, but suddenly saw the master's head like a black crow, spreading his wings and flying far away, pop! fell into the ground.

The whole hall was all frightened, and hurriedly looked down, it turned out to be the black gauze hat worn by Mao Zhixian, and hurriedly looked at the old man together, and saw the wife holding a mallet and walking out with a sinking face.

Liu Ruhu opened his mouth wide, he could see the scene just now clearly, first Mao Zhixian spoke triumphantly, and then was slashed by his wife with a mallet on the brain, and suddenly stunned the old man, and his head was crooked on the public case.

"Not good!" Liu Ruhu has experienced too many similar scenes, and his well-trained reaction quickly pretended to be pitiful, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he tilted his head back and pretended to be dead.

Fortunately, the angry wife ignored him who was seriously injured, and went straight to the master of the dog-headed military division to kill him.

The master sighed, and saw that his wife came over with the wind with a mallet, and hurriedly lowered his head, and even his ears and shoulders were beaten hard, "Oops" screamed, and ran out desperately, and his wife chased after him with a mallet.

The whole public hall was jumping, and the public was so frightened that they knelt on the ground, stopped their wife and begged: "Please ask Mrs. to leave dignity for the master, how many clerks and officials outside are watching?" How can this be preached? The lord's official doesn't have to do it. ”

The wife's angry facial features were deformed, shouting and not forgiving, and more than a dozen daughters-in-law and maids ran out, so they persuaded people to go in. Mao Zhixian, who soon woke up, was as earthy as an earth. Without waiting for the call, he trembled and took the initiative to ask for guilt.

Liu Ruhu screamed secretly, it seems that men all over the world are afraid of their wives, so if they are beaten, they will be beaten, in the end, the husband and wife will not really make a fatality.

He hung his head and didn't want to go home to be implicated by Liu Yun, and he couldn't just say that he was a subordinate, and a group of people waited for a long time, and saw Mao Zhixian coming out with a blue nose and swollen face and bending over, walking slowly step by step.

Later, Liu Ruhu learned that his wife actually took the old man's name stamp and stamped the red seal on the glans. Check it every night. If you wipe it off, it will be terrible, so Mao Zhixian has to walk and bend over, and he is even more careful when peeing.

Soon after, Mrs. Mao even refuted the holy decree. The book asks the emperor not to do his job. Why interfere in the family affairs of officials? Zhu Gaochi was helpless when he learned about it. smiled and passed, only pity Mao Zhixian.

There are both positive and negative sides to everything in the world, and Mao Zhixian's reputation for being afraid of his wife is well known in the officialdom. It is said to be a laughing stock, but because of his wife's strict supervision, he does not dare to collect wealth and dare not worry about women, and he governs the place conscientiously, and his career is booming.

Let's say that Cao's beat her husband violently and punished Liu Yun for kneeling for another night, in fact, she doesn't care much about her husband's play, no matter how ridiculous she is, she won't get pregnant, she won't be promoted to an aunt, there is a fart! Just because someone has to react to the accusation, otherwise what is the face of the lady?

Seeing that her husband's period of worry was about to expire, for the sake of her future, the Cao family heard that Xu Hao had gone to Yangzhou, so she ordered her husband to take Master Tian to Yangzhou as well, trying to find a way to get close to the family and think that the family was the backer.

Liu Yun was a little reluctant, what kind of ability is it to take the route of his wife? Although Cao Guogong Li Jinglong has lost power, the old man is a dignified servant, maybe when will he become a scholar, and he can use it to slap Xu Hao?

In the end, he didn't dare to disobey his wife, Liu Yun ran to Li's house to explain the reason, Qiang's heart said that it was a good thing to be close to Xu Hao, and it happened that her husband was more eye-catching recently, so she ordered Li Zengzhi to go with her.

Whether it is the Cao family or the Qiang family, they have monitoring methods, and they don't worry about their husbands doing anything wrong outside, and they can't avoid going to a green house to play with each other, and they often turn a blind eye, as long as they don't bring the wild woman home.

In Yangzhou City, Xu Hao heard that the most famous prostitute was named Jiang Yunfeng, and everyone found the mouth of the alley with great interest, facing a gate with the word Jiang written on the lantern.

It should have come to the right place, walked in with a grin, was waited for to be ushered into the bright room to sit down, sat down for a while and offered tea, only to hear a burst of laughter and scratch the ears, and four or five men came over, their faces were painted with pink and white and green, all of which had some color.

Zhu Boqing, who has the most experience in Qinglou, was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter in his heart, and he was speechless.

Seeing that Xu Hao and others were dressed beautifully and their characters were lofty, they vied to ask for their names, and Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun were used to seeing such things, so they answered them one by one with a smile.

On the other hand, Xu Hao, Xue Wen and Wang Ji were a little unaccustomed to it, frowning and ignoring them, but there was a little minister who had never combed his hair, about thirteen or fourteen years old, named Lai Xi, who took a hookah and came over to wish Boqing.

Xu Hao said in surprise: "Show it to me." ”

Lai smiled and handed it over, Xu Hao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, the style was similar to a smoking gun, and the smell was a very strong sweet smell, different from the tobacco smell he was familiar with.

Lai Xi smiled: "This is a good medicine for headaches and dizziness, etc., occasionally it will greatly increase the excitement of the room, but do not smoke too much, otherwise it will make people unable to leave it for a day, and after a long time, they will become wasted." ”

Xu Hao's color immediately changed, and he said in shock: "This is A Furong?" Or is it poppy poppy? ”

A hibiscus and poppy both refer to opium, is the name of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, has always been used as an anesthetic, Xu Hao did not expect that in this economically developed Yangzhou, there are people who smoke it as tobacco, it seems that it has indeed been popular since the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch introduced the pipes of the North American Indians to China with tobacco leaves through Taiwan, and the combination of opium soon became popular.

Of course, until the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Western countries, led by Britain, vigorously dumped opium into China, which not only reversed the trade deficit in one fell swoop, but also made the Chinese the sick man of East Asia.

Xue Wen leaned over, saw that the ointment was brown, pinched the letter with his hand and said, "Isn't this black incense?" Last year, Siam paid a tribute of 200 catties. ”

Xu Hao was silent for a moment and sighed. You don't need to ask to guess what Zhu Gaochi is doing with opium, and the special effect on men makes it no longer just a good medicine, and this poison enters China with tobacco, how difficult is it to completely ban it?

Just like the practice of celebrities taking medicinal stones in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, opium was a luxury used by royalty and aristocrats to show off in the early days, and it would become a fashion for the upper class.

However, the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade the lower than the higher, as the exclusive property of the emperor, and did not allow the lower classes to smoke. The annual production is also small. It is not big to be dangerous. Those prostitutes who were kept by royal officials and literati died after swallowing clouds and fog all day long.

In the Manchu era, because the large-scale import of foreign powers could not be stopped, the peddlers and pawns could also take two sips, and the opium lost its former elegance and wealth. At this time, the upper class in turn cursed the common people and hooligans, destroying the simple social atmosphere. polluted high society. Advocate for a ban on smoking.

Xu Hao didn't understand the huge profits of opium, and he remembered that in the novels he read, he used it to trap the Mongols, the Japanese and even the Europeans. In addition to earning countless money for the country, he also avenged an arrow, and the protagonist used the excuse that if I didn't do it, someone would do it.

But Xu Hao asked himself if he could do such a thing that lost his conscience, as a future generation, he knew too well how dangerous it was, not out of hypocrisy, but because of this kind of evil thing that thousands of people pointed out to cut off their children and grandchildren, can they do it? Can't do it.

Xu Hao doesn't want to let his children and grandchildren become notorious drug dealers, or become addicted to drugs, and once he starts this kind of business, can he not return to China? Wouldn't that have harmed thousands of families hundreds of years in advance?

Xu Hao also doesn't want to use opium to accuse others, the reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is precisely because it can't see the light at all, and may occasionally use some conspiracy tricks, but it must not rely on shady means to act for a long time, otherwise it will harm others and end up harming himself, and he still has to be honest and frank.

No matter what, Xu Hao doesn't want to touch opium and other poisons with endless disasters, and he always has some bottom line to be a man.

At that moment, Xu Hao said coldly: "I know that this thing will cause people to become addicted to waste, and it will cause others to go bankrupt, why do you still smoke it?" Your family has already committed a capital offense. ”

Seeing that he was stern, the old bustard hurriedly came over and slapped him hard, and scolded: "How many times have I said that this is not a good thing, you have to use it to please the guests who don't know the details, get out." ”

Xu Hao frowned and looked at it, but didn't say anything, since this thing has appeared, it will definitely spread out slowly, can it be banned?

I couldn't help but feel a deep headache for a while, but I could find some addicts to send to the court, let the ministers know the benefits, and then carry out popular education, so that the people knew that it was strict.

I am afraid that the more it is banned, the more people will secretly smoke it, but instead advertise opium live, and even worse, shrewd businessmen see business opportunities and sell them to various countries, if Edison or something is made into a waste, what can human civilization do?

As the saying goes, it is okay to do evil in heaven, but people can't live if they do evil, Xu Hao doesn't want to be contaminated himself, and it is impossible to completely prohibit others from contaminating.

A Xianggong sat next to Zhu Boqing and reached out to take the paper fan to see. Zhu Boqing asked, "Is Aunt Feng at home?" ”

Xianggong said a little unhappily: "Are you getting along with your sister?" ”

Zhu Boqing said with a smile: "We are here to visit, but we haven't seen each other yet, how can we say the word "good"?" Ugly. ”

Xianggong turned his head in a woman's posture and pouted, "I don't believe it." Raised his hand and wanted to take off the jade pendant on Xu Hao's body.

A husband named Wen Yan next to him, with two curved eyebrows, a pair of bright watery eyes, and very fair skin, saw that Xu Hao was not a person to be messed with, so he walked over and twisted him, "Children hate it, this jade pendant is worth a lot at a glance, can you afford to lose it?" ”

Xiao Xianggong sneered, and simply got up and left. Xu Hao looked at Wen Yan's appearance, he was wearing a white Luo gown, with a bright red belly pocket inside, and he didn't know what was padded on his chest, his breasts were protruding high, and the golden lotus under the skirt was about five inches, walking with his feet crossed.

Zhu Boqing and the others also looked funny, they all laughed, Wen Yan looked very proud, pursed her lips and was about to speak, a waiter came out of it, and said gracefully: "Please sit in the room of Feng Xianggong behind the sons." ”

Xu Hao suddenly thundered like five thunders, and said in a lost voice: "Dare to love this Jiang Yunfeng is a man?" (To be continued......)
