Chapter 2049 The character Gui has a curly edge, a charming place, and sophistication of the world.
Feng Ziying was stunned. She was bought and raised in a big house to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Is this Yangzhou thin horse?
But it’s almost the same, Datong mother-in-law, Yangzhou thin horse, West Lake boat girl, Taishan girl, aren’t these the four rarest things?
This Datong Prefecture is even more famous for Hunyuan Prefecture. People from Hunyuan Prefecture, the hometown of the Duan family, also have a saying that when they go to Hunyuan Prefecture, they go home and divorce their wives. This means that the women in Hunyuan Prefecture are attractive.
This is a lot of money. Feng Ziying frowned, "Are these women like this? How much money did the Cui family spend to buy them?"
Bao Qin shook his head, "How would they know about this kind of thing? Even if I ask the Cui family, they won't tell me."
Feng Ziying shook her head and said, "Qingwen, ask Baoxiang to go to the Duan family to inquire. It's not difficult to ask."
Qingwen responded and hurried out.
"It should cost a lot of money. Little opera actors like Ling Guan and the others were sold when they were young. They were just raised to learn how to sing. They are almost the same as this kind of maids. How much money did the Jia family spend to buy them? ?" Baoqin said as if he remembered something.
Feng Ziying nodded, "Well, it should be a model. This is specially prepared for wealthy families. I know that if Datong encounters a famine, there will be many prostitutes. A seven or eight-year-old girl is probably the same. It's just a few taels of silver, or even worse. Some of them are given directly to others in order to feed their children. I don't know if you have any other ideas. In the past few years, when refugees came to Beijing, many people sold their own children. How many taels of silver is it? The price here in Shanxi is even cheaper..."
Xiuyan sighed, "This kind of business seems to be very profitable. In a disaster year, you can buy one for a few taels of silver. Even if you keep it for a few years and hire some people to teach you this kind of knowledge and skills, it won't cost much money. But, If you raise someone like this, you may be able to sell one for hundreds of taels of silver. As far as I know, even if this maid in the capital city sold herself to her master, she was so smart and resourceful that she could only get a hundred taels of silver. , this is too unconscionable.”
"Xiuyan, you can't say that. This kind of little girl is bought by others. It may be a good way for them. Wouldn't it be better to hear that Li Tian is in good times, and that Li Sang is worse than to see the minister of the country? When a family like theirs is in trouble, In the year, the possibility of starving to death is not small. In the end, it is better to find a way to make ends meet, learn some knowledge and skills, and then be sold to a wealthy family than to starve to death at a young age or be sold to a brothel to suffer. Isn’t it better to live with thousands of people riding on you and being crushed by thousands of people?”
Feng Ziying's last sentence was a bit vulgar, causing all the girls to lightly spat, and Bao Qin even rolled her eyes.
Feng Ziying ignored it, "On the surface, this kind of business is indeed a bit despicable, but objectively speaking, it has saved many people's lives. As for their future prospects, how much money have been made by people who do this business?" , I think this is ultimately a problem of the court. If the government and the government provide adequate relief during the disaster years for everyone, so that they can survive the famine in peace and contentment, who would be willing to sell their own daughter?"
Feng Ziying's explanation made Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan murmur again. It was obvious that these four Datong maids had come and had some influence on the whole group. They were either bad or troublesome.
"Okay, the matter has already come to this, and it is not appropriate to go back. Just as Xiuyan said, choose a suitable gift in return. This will avoid the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from coming to trouble. It will not embarrass the other party. ." Feng Ziying made the decision.
Seeing that Feng Ziying seemed to be in a bad mood, Bao Qin deliberately deflected: "I didn't expect there was such a business in Datong. It opened my eyes."
"It's not Datong, it's everywhere. It's just that women in Datong are more famous." Feng Ziying also put aside some of her thoughts and said casually: "Datong woman, Jizhen city wall, Xuanfu school ground, the border areas are the three most beautiful things." , and there are also those who say the three specialties of Datong are mother-in-law, fur, and hot pot, which proves the prosperity of this business in Datong."
Xiuyan couldn't help but ask: "Why is Datong so famous? In theory, Taiyuan is the center of Shanxi."
"Datong is located in the core area where the Han Dynasty and the grassland border, and Datong is a strategic transportation hub that has gradually formed over thousands of years. This determines that as long as the threat to the Han Dynasty exists in the grassland, Datong's strategic position will always be It cannot be replaced, which is why Jiubian Military Town, Datong and Xuanfu have always been ranked first, Xuanfu guards the capital, and Datong is the backbone of the entire Northland."
This trip has been going on for so long, and we are usually busy on the road. Even if we rest at night, everyone is very tired from the bumpy journey. We don’t have much thought and energy to talk, and the environment is not comfortable, so we have no chance to talk together. chat.
Finally, we finally entered Datong City, and now we live in the Feng family's old house. It's like going back home. Everyone feels relaxed and can have a good sleep at night. Talking before going to bed is also the most pleasant. some time.
Hearing that Feng Ziying named "Aunt Taishan" the same as several others, Miaoyu was a little unhappy, "These are all nonsense made up by outsiders, and they actually used monks to make trouble..."
"It's not making it up. Taishan Auntie is not a pure monk, but a group of unscrupulous people who make a living. They use the name of Taishan Auntie and deliberately let these women wear monks and nuns' clothes as a gimmick. In fact, it is a kind of self-importance. Way." Feng Ziying shook her head, "To achieve the best in one's business these days, it is natural to use various methods to promote one's own business and strive to maximize profits, just like these maids, maybe when they buy it , it’s just a few taels of silver per person, but if you raise it for a few years, hire people to teach you, teach you knowledge and skills, and then sell it, you’ll make a hundredfold profit. How many businesses in the world can match this industry?”
Seeing Feng Ziying sighing there, Baoqin seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I didn't expect that my husband would never pay attention to these things. Apparently he was so well aware of such despicable things. The stories about Yangzhou Shouma and the boat girls on the West Lake were so vivid that I thought my husband was busy for so long. I should have been busy with official duties, but it seems a little different now. I don’t know who has been teaching Xianggong bad things all day long. I will ask Ruixiang Baoxiang when the time comes. During this time, that filthy boy has been fooling around Xianggong. Xianggong teaches these unfashionable things..."
Baoqin's words caused a burst of laughter from all the girls, and even Miaoyu, who had a calm expression on her face, couldn't help laughing.
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Baoqin, what you said is just a blow to a boatload of people. I understand these people's sentiments and social sentiments because I care about national affairs. If you don't understand these, how can you know the hardships of the people in the countryside? How do we know that people are having a hard time making a living now, and how do we know the connection between drought and refugees,..."
A series of parallels made all the goddesses look solemn, and Xiuyan asked in a low voice: "Mr. sir, but the situation in Shaanxi is worse than imagined?"
"Well, from what I learned at the banquet hosted by General Yang today and Mr. Cui's introduction, the situation in Shanxi is equally bad. It can only be said that it is barely surviving without an outbreak. However, the drought in Shaanxi is said to be much more serious than that in Shanxi. It is conceivable that the people will either immediately Starve to death or rebel and fight to death, how do they choose?”
Feng Ziying exhaled, "They have no choice, but the government should still have a choice. It depends on whether the government has the courage and means."
Hearing that Feng Ziying was talking about business, the girls did not dare to interrupt easily. Feng Ziying had no intention of saying this to them. Talking about it would only increase worries.
The imperial court used itself in Shaanxi, didn't it mean that it would let itself go through this muddy water and let itself solve this hot potato?
But this is no longer as simple as muddy water and hot potato. If you don't get stuck here, it will really be self-defeating.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense again, Feng Ziying also felt that she was a little "ignorant of current affairs". Everyone had worked hard all the way here, and just wanted to relax, but she still made the topic so heavy. Wasn't she asking for trouble?
"Okay, okay, the devil is as high as the road and the road is as high as the devil. If you don't have twos and threes, you won't dare to go to Liangshan. Since your husband dares to come to Shaanxi, he will naturally be sure. Don't worry about it. Really I want to be considerate of your husband-in-law, so I can serve you well in the bed tonight..."
As soon as Feng Ziying changed her words, the faces of the women immediately turned red.
Although the days for sleeping in the capital have been decided for a long time, and the three rooms are arranged according to 147, 258, and 369, but since they started to work, they basically no longer follow this.
A lot of times I just rest wherever it gets dark, and when camping in the wild or staying at a small inn, it is naturally impossible to be so particular, so I always eat and eat.
Moreover, Sanjie You should be the representative of the eldest wife in theory, but she is not that fond of this kind of sexual intercourse. She is more of a personal guard for Feng Ziying, and it is impossible to come on this day, so the order here is messed up. .
Especially because Xiuyan Heping'er has not had **** yet, Feng Ziying is naturally not willing to have a hasty relationship with them on the road, and has also discussed with them to settle down in Xi'an Mansion and then come to Haosheng to have sex.
There are too many women, and it is not only fair, but also balanced, and identity. It is also a troublesome thing. Feng Ziying doesn't want to cause trouble in her back house, so she specifically tells Ping'er, a careful person, to do it for herself. Take care of these matters. After all, Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan shouldn't ask too deeply about such private matters, which would harm their status. But Ping'er is the most suitable girl.
To make up for yesterday’s update, please give me some monthly passes.
