Most of the rich people are a little perverted.
Either known or unknown.
In order to show the money they have in their hands, countless ways of enjoying themselves that ordinary people can think of or cannot think of have emerged.
Countless ancient ways have been circulating for thousands of years, either openly or covertly, and they are endless.
Because there is demand, there is supply.
The world of rich people has always been like this.
Where in the world has the most money now?
Everyone will say that the emperor has the most money, or that the mountains of money and grain piled up in the large warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue have the most.
But it belongs to the empire and needs to be used directly or indirectly on billions of people in the world.
Therefore, in the world, only the powerful local gentry and merchants are the richest, because their money only serves individuals.
Among these people, the salt merchants were the most prosperous.
Yangzhou.
It has countless titles and countless humanities and histories.
But the most famous ones today are the Lianghuai salt merchants who gathered in Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou Shouma that was born because of the wealth in the hands of these salt merchants.
The Li Mansion Courtyard in Taiyuan City.
In the courtyard with flowing water, there was no sound of horse hooves, but people were seen shouting that the horses were coming.
"Here comes the pony!"
In an invisible place in the other courtyard, the servants in the Li family's courtyard were calling with joy.
The sound passed through the layers of dense forest and reached the banquet.
The atmosphere at the table reached its peak.
The head of the Li family, Li Wenxiang, who is now over 10 years old, has a red face and exchanges cups with others without stopping.
After hearing the commotion, he immediately put down his wine glass and looked at the crowd.
People's eyes began to search the surrounding lush forest corridors.
soon.
The ponies came into Zhu Yunwen's eyes.
They all look to be thirteen or fourteen years old, the youngest is no more than eleven or twelve, and they all have different makeup.
Either delicate or charming, but mostly dignified, like a lady.
Zhu Yunwen's eyelids moved slightly and his eyes narrowed.
Although he has never experienced such a thin horse, it does not prevent him from understanding it.
For these girls, Ya Gong and Ya Po from the Yangzhou area have always visited various places in the south of the Yangtze River, looking for children from poor families, buying them back while the girls are still young, and then training them.
There is a teacher in the west wing who is comparable to a wealthy family, specializing in teaching singing, dancing, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When he gets older and has mastered his skills, he sells them to wealthy businessmen or Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions at a high price.
When you buy it, it only costs a dozen taels, and when it is grown and sold, it costs as low as hundreds of taels. If you encounter that high-quality thin horse, you will need thousands of taels of snowflake silver to get it back home.
It is precisely for this reason that this trend of thin horses prevails among the rich and powerful in the world, which is hidden as comparison.
Just as the horse entered the banquet room.
The man in his early thirties sitting opposite Zhu Yunwen had already stood up.
When he entered the government previously, Zhu Yunwen had already been introduced by Liu Zongsheng, who was even the eldest son of Li Wenxiang, the head of the Li family, Li Benqian.
Probably because there are many contacts on weekdays.
Li Benqian stood up, and everyone just smiled.
Li Wenxiang, who put down his wine glass after changing glasses with Liu Zongsheng at the main seat, just looked at his eldest son calmly.
Li Benqian turned around in the dining room and held a pony in front of his head.
His face was full of glory, smelling of alcohol, and his eyes were blurred: "Girls, I'm here to greet you."
As soon as these words came out, there was another round of laughter.
Zhu Yunwen's face couldn't help but become deserted.
This Li Benqian was learning from the words and deeds of those people when he was buying a weak horse.
I saw only following Li Benqian's instructions.
This group of skinny little ladies held their skirts in their hands and bowed lightly.
Li Benqian said again: "Girls, go up."
The horses walked lightly on the lotus steps and took a few more steps deeper into the banquet.
Just these few steps, but it is swaying, the skirt is elegant, and the fragrance is overflowing.
This caused everyone on both sides of the table to widen their eyes, their faces flushed, and their eyes obsessed.
Li Benqian said again: "Girls, turn around."
In full view of everyone, these skinny horses turned around gently, and there was another burst of enthusiasm, and the table seemed to be getting a little warmer.
Li Benqian continued: "Girls, lend me your hands and take a look."
When more than ten thin horses came to the table, they took off their robes, hands, arms, and skin.
Under the light, the skin is like gelatin, and the fingers are slender, as smooth as a mirror and as delicate as a chicken.
Zhu Yunwen swore that he clearly heard the sound of the man in brocade clothes swallowing saliva below him.
In this way, the blood of the men at the table became excited.
However, Li Benqian's conspicuous actions did not end there.
He said loudly: "Girls, look at your husband."
The thin horse in the banquet made a gesture, turned around and winked, and smiled, as if it could attract people's souls and leave their bodies.
Li Benqian asked again: "How old are you girls?"
At this time, the people at the table finally heard the sounds of the horses.
From front to back, announce the new year one by one.
During the dinner, there seemed to be ten thousand oriole birds standing on the branches and singing.
The sound can be said to come back a thousand times, and just hearing its sound can make many people drunk.
With a smile on his face, Li Benqian finally led the horse in front of him and walked towards his father Li Wenxiang.
"Girls, let's go for a walk."
In this way, the skinny girls each used their slender jade fingers to pull up the skirt straps, revealing the pairs of jade feet under the straps.
Fully out.
There was a gasp of cold air in the table.
Li Benqian has sent the thin horse in front of him into the arms of his father Li Wenxiang.
The remaining people, as if they had received training and instructions in advance, sat next to the people at the table.
Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming each held a thin horse in their arms.
Even next to Zhu Yunwen, there was a person sitting down.
Between the noses is the fragrance coming from the other person's body.
Growing up in the palace, Zhu Yunwen knew very well that this kind of incense could be regarded as the best even in the palace.
However, he has no intention of being romantic.
Li Benqian, who was still standing in the middle of the banquet, looked at Zhu Yunwen who was motionless with indifferent eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around, held a wine glass, walked to Zhu Yunwen's side, and sat on the floor.
Li Benqian leaned against the couch, stretched out his arms to rest on the couch, looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile on his face, and moved his mouth to nod at the woman sitting next to Zhu Yunwen.
"The prince was tired on the road when he came here. This is a top-notch thin horse in Yangzhou. If his family had no connections in Lianghuai, he would not be seen in Taiyuan City."
Zhu Yunwen smiled with a smile but said sincerely: "I have never experienced such pleasure before. I didn't know what to do for a while."
Li Benqian looked at Zhu Yunwen, thinking that he was in the palace in the past, and the rules there were strict, and the royal children would never be allowed to do such pleasures.
In the following years, Zhu Yunwen was imprisoned in the Imperial City of Zhongdu as a useless person, and had no chance.
He then explained: "The thin horses are divided into four grades. The first grade ones have been taught to play the piano and flute, recite poems and write calligraphy, draw and go, play Shuanglu, and touch dominoes since they were young. Qiao, proficient in everything. The second-class skinny horses can only read and write, play and sing. The third-class ones are only those who only know women's fashion and tailoring.
The one I picked for the prince is the most exquisite among this group. The skills under his hands will definitely make the prince happy here and unable to extricate himself. "
While Li Benqian was talking, the woman sitting next to Zhu Yunwen was already twisting and clinging to his body.
Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand to squeeze the wine glass, blocking the jade hand of the woman beside him who wanted to go deep into her arms. He turned to look at Li Benqian: "The fourth-class
Where's the girl? "
"Fourth class?"
There was a trace of sarcasm on Li Benqian's face.
Zhu Yunwen looked curious.
Li Benqian winked at the girl next to Zhu Yunwen and stretched out his leg. The woman moved over and tapped her leg.
Li Benqian narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled: "Such a skinny horse is usually not favored by buyers. You can't lose a man's tooth, but he has to sell it to the hook fence."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed: "Sell it to the hook fence?"
Li Benqian nodded: "You can't enter the big houses, you can't enter the halls. But you can only put on makeup and powder every day, dress up seductively, go in and out of the alleys, and hang out in front of teahouses and restaurants. This is called standing in the pass. The prince doesn't know, these skinny horses , most of them go in and out in front of the lamp under the moonlight, their faces are pale, and they have long lost their human appearance. If they can't find customers at night, they can only return quietly like ghosts. Like this, the old bustards don't want to see them, and don't give them anything. Not to mention eating, you also have to be whipped. Once you get old and lose your appearance, you will be like a walking corpse. It’s just that these people have the courage to enjoy this blessing."
As he spoke, Li Benqian sighed. He kicked off his boots and slipped into the skinny horse's arms, eliciting a burst of cries.
However, Zhu Yunwen felt hatred in his heart, and he was more murderous towards Li Benqian.
He didn't know the experience of the fourth-class skinny horse, but he knew that these women who were bought into their homes by wealthy businessmen had never enjoyed such blessings. In the end, he was just killed by the housewife with a stick, or thrown into a well, or he got tired of playing with him, sold his house, and became a wandering warbler, enjoying the enjoyment of thousands of people.
Li Benqian saw that Zhu Yunwen had no intention of enjoying himself, so he raised his glass to invite him to drink.
Downed a glass of wine.
Li Benqian said softly: "This time King Xiao Ming and Taibao gathered in Taiyuan, we never thought that the county king would help them. Today I met the county king, and the Taibao was praised a lot. The county king has always been the Taibao's confidant. From now on. The prince of the county hopes to support me a lot in my Li family."
Zhu Yunwen sneered in his heart, with a calm face, he looked at Li Wenxiang and Liu Zongsheng and whispered, "I have just come to Taiyuan City, but I also know that the Li Mansion is here in Taiyuan City, and even the Sansi Yamen must be courteous to the Sansi." If Mr. Liu wants to achieve great things, he needs more help from the Li family. From now on, I should ask the Li family to speak kindly to me in front of Mr. Liu."
Li Benqian nodded with a smile: "From now on, we are working in the same place for the same thing. There is no difference between you and me. We should help each other and participate in the grand event together."
Zhu Yunwen replied: "That's how it should be."
The two of them drank several drinks with each other. Li Bengan mostly talked about interesting things about Taiyuan, while Zhu Yunwen listened quietly.
Li Benqian's task today, in addition to the previous lively atmosphere, was mainly responsible for getting acquainted with Zhu Yunwen.
By the time there were several people on the field holding the skinny horse in their arms, they were looking to remove themselves so they could spend the long night.
Li Benqiancai seemed to be a little drunk and said, "The prince was born in a noble family. Now, given this opportunity, doesn't the prince have the intention to aspire for the supreme position?"
[In view of the general environment,
Zhu Yunwen's heart suddenly tightened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Li Benqian with cold eyes: "Brother Li, why do you ask like this?"
His tone was cold and sullen.
Li Benqian's shoulders shook, and under Zhu Yunwen's gaze, his drunken eyes slowly sobered up.
I saw him lightly kicking the thin horse under his feet, and the woman clasped her hands on her chest and stepped aside.
Li Benqian moved towards Zhu Yunwen twice, getting closer.
Only then did he hear him whisper in a voice that only Zhu Yunwen could hear: "It has been less than thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the hearts of the people in the world belong to the court and the surname Zhu. The background of the prince is higher than that of the Taibao, even this He is the Little Ming King. If the County King is interested, the Li family can secretly help the County King. When there is an opportunity in the future, the County King will replace him!"
Is this the Li family's desire to hedge their bets, or is it Liu Zongsheng's temptation?
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Yunwen's heart, but he immediately said decisively: "Brother Li is very kind, but I am
I dare not have such thoughts. Now, I just want to wait for the day when Mr. Liu succeeds in his great cause, so that I can settle the score with Zhu Yunxi. After I get rid of the bad breath in my chest, I will ask Mr. Liu for some rewards, find a place of peace, and live like a rich man. "
Li Benqian's face clearly showed disappointment.
He sighed deeply, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Do you really think about it no more? If King Xiao Ming starts an uprising, the world will be in turmoil. And if the prince is in charge, he has a good reputation and great righteousness, and the Li family can do it." The dissemination by the princes was an act of loyalty and loyalty by the king of the Qing Dynasty."
Zhu Yunwen stared at Li Benqian and said coldly: "I don't have money or food, and I don't have anyone. Why would Brother Li harm me?"
Li Benqian blinked, with a wry smile on his face: "The county king is too worried. The Li family only got to see the county king today, and they thought that if they made a bet with the county king, they would be able to achieve great things."
"What does Brother Li want?"
Zhu Yunwen planned Li Benqian's next words and directly asked the doubts in his heart.
Li Benqian was stunned for a moment, and finally, under Zhu Yunwen's gaze, he shook his head and explained: "The Li family just wants to have a place in the court and take action in the cabinet if the county king succeeds in the future."
Zhu Yunwen glanced sideways at Li Wenxiang, who was chatting happily with Liu Zongsheng.
He turned back and looked at Li Benqian again, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen finally came to his senses.
The Li family wanted to carry out Cao Cao's old deeds, and in their eyes, he was the perfect candidate to serve as Emperor of the Han Dynasty!
These people want to deceive themselves so that they can coerce the emperor and order the princes.
If this were not the case, then they would only be testing their own possibilities for Liu Zongsheng.
But no matter what, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree.
Zhu Yunwen said coldly: "Brother Li, don't mention this matter again. If there is a next time, I will definitely inform Mr. Liu."
Li Benqian's face was full of frustration, but he was helpless.
He shook his head and said, "I am Meng Lang, please forgive me."
Zhu Yunwen had a firm attitude and snorted twice.
"Don't let it happen again!"
