Jiao Si really has a point. This truth is said so openly and with such righteousness.
"Sir, you are from overseas and don't understand the ways of the Qing Dynasty. Did you know that the queen mother and emperor in the imperial city cost one hundred taels of silver to eat an egg? Can you figure out what's going on? Really? What the master eats is not the eggs, it is the loyalty of the slaves..."
"An egg can be collected from the countryside for only two or three taels, and sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for only a copper coin. However, after being divided up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuch supervisors, it can be turned into one hundred taels in the accounts. Money is gone...I know what you want to say, isn't it corruption? But you can't look at this issue like that!"
"The emperor and the queen mother, as well as the civil and military officials of the entire court, know about this hundred taels of profit. This is actually a reward from the master to the slaves! This is the grace of the master, and this is the blessing of the slaves!"
Jiao Si shook his head and said the same thing as the teacher in Sanjia Village: "When a master chooses a slave, he wants the slave's loyalty, and when a slave chooses a master, what he wants is the master's grace and care. Since ancient times, except for those who are officials, those who do not pay for food have been , aren’t we just slaves? Look, isn’t this the grace of the master..."
Speaking of this, Jiao Si bowed his hand to Master Qing, "When it comes to our country, the one who conquers the world is naturally the Eight Banners, but we, the captains, have also contributed a lot. Third Master should have heard Taiye and others talk about ancient records, just after the founding of the country At that time, we, the masters of the Fucha family, could that battle have been possible without the hard work of our slaves?"
"To be honest, there have been many times when the master's life was saved by our slaves. We, as a group of people, have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. So, the master and the slave are one, and there are no slaves who risk their lives to help the master. He would no longer be a master, and without the grace of the master, we slaves would not be able to find a way even if we wanted to work hard..."
"Master Xiao, you are a person who does great things. You can write books, open foreign banks, deal with foreigners, and even lead troops to fight. You are the stars in the sky, and we are the grass and trees on the ground. Everyone depends on you. Isn’t he just a person of glory and wealth?”
Speaking of this, Jiao Si'er shook his head regretfully and said, "If you don't even give such a small fortune to the big guy, wouldn't you become a loner? Master Xiao, Master Xiao, don't make a mistake. This is terrible." This is not an overseas destination, this is the Qing Dynasty, so when you come to the country, do as the Romans do!"
Jiao Si'er's words choked Xiao Letian for a long time and he didn't say anything. He never thought that being greedy for his money was actually justified, and he dared to teach himself a lesson shamelessly. But when he thought about it, Jiao Si's remarks really didn't make any sense. Law retorts. Update as soon as possible
This was the late Qing Dynasty, and this was not a new society transformed by compulsory education. In this era, the master-slave mentality was not shameful. On the contrary, it was a shortcut for lower-class people who wanted to improve themselves.
Slave, what a derogatory word it is in the eyes of modern people, but in the Qing Dynasty this word had no derogatory connotation at all.
Are you a civilian? But while you are working hard with your back turned to the sky, other people's slaves can already hire you as a tenant. When you eat two meals a day of chaffy vegetables, my slaves have already boiled two ounces of wine and eaten the pork head meat.
When you are faced with the landlord's demand for food and the official's demand for tax, the servant is fanning your face and watching your joke. The land of the servant's house does not pay money or food.
This is a hierarchical society. The servants of the prince's family are always more noble than the county magistrate. I am afraid that the royal servants will flatter the governor. In the society of the late Qing Dynasty, there is no shame in calling yourself a servant. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Under Jiao Si'er's rational attack, Xiao Letian was momentarily speechless. He suddenly didn't know how to argue, because what he was facing was the conflict between two completely different values and ideological systems.
Xiao Letian was dumbfounded, but this group of dog slaves had their tails raised. They all muttered nonsense, "That's right, everyone came here from Sijiu City to serve you. Isn't it just a favor? Let's have a meal now." After being beaten and scolded during the banquet, how can I still have to scratch my skin and get cramps in the future? I quit, we quit..."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mr. Qing quickly took over the conversation. He knew these minions very well. If Xiao Letian didn't control them today, these minions would rebel in the future.
"Haha, have you become so fucking capable? We, the Fucha family, have not paid much attention to you in the past few years and have forgotten your duty?" The cold tone instantly made the courtyard fall silent.
Fu Qing and Xiao Letian are different, they are serious masters, but Xiao Letian is a piece of shit, he is just an Eight Banners uncle, Jiao Si'er didn't say anything crooked when facing Third Master Qing, he just lowered his head and listened to the scolding.
"Is there any principle in the laws of the Qing Dynasty that slaves choose their masters? What the master rewards you is the master's mercy. Even if he doesn't reward you, are you going to rebel?"
"Let me not talk about your sin of spending money privately. It's broad daylight, everyone is idle, and no one is guarding the door. Do you still think you are justified? You have forgotten your own duties and delayed everything. Are you still justified? "
Third Master Qing was very disappointed with these home-born slaves, "And your biggest sin is not spending money, but drinking during the day! How can there be slaves like you in Sijiu City who don't understand the rules and do nothing in broad daylight?" , just gather people for a banquet, and then you dare to argue with the host? Come here... slap them hard, and I will teach you the rules for my sister!"
With Master Qing's words, the guards who were going crazy with anger had a reason to explode. The riding whips in their hands crackled, making the slaves howl and scream. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Among them, Jiao Si'er received a lot of attention from Master Long. The cowhide whip was whipped with a swishing sound, making Jiao Si'er cover his head and scream. "Master, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will change it now. I will change it now..."
Xiao Letian shook his head and walked directly into the inner house without paying any attention to them. The Qing Dynasty was a dynasty with strict feudal ethics in China. In the gates of wealthy people's mansions, the outer house and the inner house were separated by high walls. Men would never dare to enter the inner house without permission.
Even though Jiao Si'er drooled at the beauties in the Grand View Garden every day, he really didn't dare to have any evil intentions. A slave who covets his master's money will be punished with a whip at most, but if a slave dares to steal his master's woman, it will be a crime of beheading. Therefore, even Jiao Si did not dare to enjoy today's banquet in the inner house.
Xiao Letian walked through the flower-bedecked porch and formally entered the inner house. He could already smell the strong smell of powder inside before entering. Once here, Third Master Qing did not dare to leave, but Xiao Letian was not so fussy, so he dragged Third Master and walked inside.
"You are my uncle. If your sister comes in in the future, won't you look at your sister? Come in with me and have a drink. These little slaves almost made me angry to death..."
The two of them had just entered the Moon Gate when their eyes lit up. More than a dozen top beauties were already standing in a row, looking at Xiao Letian with spring faces and bowing together to salute.
"Good luck to you, sir. I would like to pay my respects to you..." After saying this, a group of orioles bowed down and saluted. A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and Xiao Letian subconsciously stepped back half a step, and the saliva fell from the corner of his mouth.
God, this is going to cost me my life. The Manchus are really capable of spending money. Xiao Letian was so beautiful that he almost hummed. Of course he knew that this was a beauty trap given to him by the Qing Dynasty. Aren't the women trained by the Jiaofang Division just to serve men?
Originally, Xiao Letian was mentally prepared. He thought that his strong will could surpass that of the underground party members, but when the beauty really stood in front of him, he began to swallow the saliva in his mouth.
It is said that society in the late Qing Dynasty had a perverted aesthetic view of women. Xiao Letian agrees or disagrees with this statement. First of all, in the aesthetics of the Han people, the so-called beauty is really not very good. Let alone the problem of small feet, even the figure and appearance cannot be complimented.
With a pale face, small breasts, a frail figure, and three inches of golden lotus, Xiao Letian was disgusted no matter how much she looked at her. However, a woman with this look was regarded as a top beauty by the literati at that time.
It's not like Xiao Letian has never been to a brothel. He has seen enough of what those so-called top celebrities are like.
But there was also an exception to the society at this time, and that was the aesthetics of the Manchu people. After all, Manchu aunts did not bind their feet, and the Manchus suppressed women much less, so Xiao Letian could see from Manchu women the health and beauty that would be highly praised by later generations. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Natural feet, large breasts, an almost perfect waist-to-hip ratio, and a confident gaze that is rare in this era, everything here is extremely attractive to Xiao Letian.
Why could Xiao Letian fall in love with Huniu, that wild girl? And why can't he resist Fu Hui at all? In fact, the fundamental reason is aesthetics.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is what a woman is! This is the type that I, Xiao Letian, like, healthy, graceful, confident... This is what I call dying under the peony flowers, and being a ghost is also romantic!"
With a bang, everyone around was shocked. Even Mr. Long was surprised. After following Xiao Letian for so long, he always thought that the master was not lewd, but today he saw it and realized that it was this type that the master liked.
Not to mention these guards, even Xi Ren, Qingwen and the others who were leading the group were all red in the face. They all lowered their heads and looked shy and ashamed, which made the man want to pounce on them and ravage them at the first sight.
"Cough cough cough..." In the end, Mr. Qing coughed hard several times before he was able to get rid of Xiao Letian's piggy appearance.
"Okay, okay, no courtesy... Well, are you eating? Haha, the food is good, it is indeed good..." Listening to Xiao Letian's irritating words, his face was covered with wounds from being slapped Jiao Si almost cried with anger.
Who are these people? It's all the same banquet. We get beaten when we eat, but the girls in the inner house don't even fart when they eat, and they still smile playfully. Such an unfair master, if anyone keeps messing with you in the future, I will sue you, and I will sue you severely.
Xiao Letian had no intention of paying attention to the old man Jiao Si'er's thoughts. He walked up to Qingwen, looked down at her face and suddenly smiled mischievously, lifted her chin with his index finger and whispered.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Qingwen's pink face turned red all of a sudden, and she wanted to spit at him, but after thinking about it, she didn't spit out, and just replied with vitriol, " Bah...it's up to you, sir, to be so impatient...my name is Qingwen!"
Xiao Letian laughed as soon as he heard this, "Qingwen? Qingwen is good. She has a fierce temper, but her life will be saved... But don't worry, if I protect you, your life will be saved, hahaha..."
Xiao Letian greeted the girls in Grand View Garden one by one with a smile on his face, thinking about how to eat all the fragrant bait into his stomach, and then spit the hook back to Manqing.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly noticed something strange, "Huh? Where's Hu Niu and A Chou? I've been back for so long, why haven't they come out yet?"
