Chapter 166

"My husband." Chen Yuanyuan walked back to Wang Pu and said with a slight slightest, "Sister Rushi is gone."

"Yes." Wang Pu reached out and hugged Chen Yuanyuan gently into his arms, and said, "She's gone."

"My husband." Chen Yuanyuan raised her delicate face in Wang Pu's arms and asked in a low voice, "Are Sister Rushi unhappy?"

"Maybe." Wang Guan pulled Chen Yuanyuan and sat down on the chair, saying, "Madam, let's not talk about Liu Rushi for now. My husband will ask you something."

Chen Yuanyuan said softly: "Does my husband want to ask about the big brother?"

"Yes." Wang Pu said, "How is the big brother there?"

Chen Yuanyuan said: "The eldest brother has bought 5,000 acres of paddy fields in Songjiang Mansion. He plans to plant cotton. When everything is settled, he will escort the batch of ginseng, Dongzhu and gold come to Nanjing. However, the eldest brother said that the amount of the batch of property is too large and it may be difficult to exchange it into cash in a short period of time."

"Grow cotton?" Wang Pu frowned, "What cotton is planted at this time?"

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "I don't know about this slave."

"Forget it." Wang Pu smiled bitterly, "It seems that I can't count on this money for the time being."

"Does my husband lack money?" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked, "Why would I borrow some silver from my sisters?"

"How much silver can you borrow?"

"It's always possible to borrow three or five thousand taels."

"Haha, three or five thousand taels are not enough, huh..." Wang Pu suddenly looked moved and said, "Madam, you really remind me after saying this. Tell me quickly. Tell me how much money can I earn in Nuanxiang Pavilion in Aunt Li in a day?"

Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know the details. But there are always four or five hundred taels."

Wang Pu frowned and said, "No way, you have such a little money?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "How many of my husband thinks can there be?"

Wang Pu said: "I thought I should have tens of thousands of taels of silver every day."

"How could there be so many?" Chen Yuanyuan smiled, "If I could get tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, within half a year, the aunt would be able to pack all the tile shops on the Qinhuai River. At that time, all the Nanqu and Beiqus of Qinhuai will be left with Nuanxiang Pavilion."

Wang Pu disbelief: "Don't Nuanxiang Pavilion have the southern musical socialites Li Shiniang and Li Xiangjun? The broker would have to spend a hundred taels of silver when they heard them sing a small song. If they held a banquet at Nuanxiang Pavilion, they would invite them to accompany them. The price was even more expensive. How could they only earn a few hundred taels of silver every day?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "My husband, there are not many wealthy customers who spend a lot of money. The broker holds banquets at Nuanxiang Pavilion to entertain guests and invites people to accompany you. It only takes three or five times a month. Usually, Shi Niang's sister and Xiangjun sister receive some scholars and scholars. Most of these scholars and scholars are from poor families and the money they give is not enough to pay for tea."

"I guess they are the poor and corrupt scholars in Fushe? Really, they keep lying to the kilns without money?" Wang Pu thought for a while, and said, "Then... aren't there still dozens of Beiqu girls in Nuanxiang Pavilion? Even if they only take customers once a day, there are still dozens of clients? Even if each client only gives ten taels of silver for a prostitution, it's almost enough to add one dollar, how could it be only four or five hundred taels?"

Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile: "What are you talking about, my husband? The most expensive sisters in Beiqu are only five taels of silver a night."

"What?" Wang Pu said in surprise, "The most expensive one is only five taels of silver. Is it still possible to cover the night?"

"Yeah." Chen Yuanyuan nodded lightly and whispered, "It's not easy for the Beiqu sisters. They make little money, and they have to be separated by the madam. The only thing left for themselves is only a little bit. Some Beiqu sisters are old and cannot get enough money to redeem themselves."

Wang Pu scratched his head and said, "It seems that this industry is not as profitable as you imagine."

Chen Yuanyuan was smart. She heard something from Wang Pu’s words and asked softly: “My husband, do you want to open a yard too?”

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded and sighed, "My husband and old man Sun were sent to Jiangnan to train troops by Master Long Sui to train, but they didn't have any money. In order to find a way to make money, your husband almost turned his hair white. He thought that opening a brothel was a way to make money. But when you said this just now, it seemed that there was not much profit."

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Wang Pu with some concern and whispered: "My husband, if you really want to open a yard and not stop you, you must not do anything to force a good person to become a prostitute."

"Silly girl."

Wang Pu reached out and gently stroked Chen Yuanyuan's face, pressed his nose against Chen Yuanyuan's nose, and said intimately, "What are you talking about? Is your husband like that?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, fell softly into Wang Pu Qiangjian's arms, and said in a charming voice: "I am wrong and I will never say such things again."

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished." Wang Pu said with a smile, "My husband must practice family rules."

Amid the sound of footsteps, the young lady had already brought a basin of hot water into the bamboo shed and said with a low smile: "Madam, I guess you should wake up now?"

"What are you talking about in a damn movie?"

Chen Yuanyuan angrily glanced at the young lady. When she bowed to sit up, she didn't expect her arms to soften and slipped on the soft couch. Last night, she was tortured by Wang Pu. She is still sore and weak all over and her limbs are weak.

The young lady put a basin of water on the wash stand and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled: "Madam, you must have been exhausted last night, but today your complexion looks much more moister than yesterday, hehe."

"Damn girl." Chen Yuanyuan said coquettishly. "Let me see how I will treat you later."

Don’t be surprised if the young lady picked up the mouth cup and toothbrush from the wash stand. There were toothbrushes in the Song Dynasty, made of ponytails. She grabbed the green salt and placed it on the toothbrush, and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan and said, “Madam, wash up quickly.”

Chen Yuanyuan took the toothbrush and mouth cup and asked casually: "Where is the child?"

The young lady said, "The nurse is coaxing her to sleep."

"Where is my husband?"

"The general took Brother Six and Brother Seven into the city early in the morning."

"My husband has entered the city, why don't you follow him? You are his personal guard now."

"General and the others said they were going to take a bath in the city." The young lady said with a red face, "That's the place where the man went. You can't go with me, just like that."

It is said that the largest public bathhouse in Nanjing was built by Emperor Hongwu. At that time, a large number of civilians gathered in Nanjing to build the capital. Because there was no place to take a bath, everyone was covered with fleas. Emperor Hongwu ordered the construction of a public bathhouse in the city to provide bathing for civilians.

Later, the capital was built and all the villagers evacuated, but the public bathhouse was preserved.

In fact, as early as the Song Dynasty, there were already public bathhouses in big cities in China. There was a bathhouse in the shops in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". After taking a bath in the public bathhouse, Su Dongpo also wrote "Ru Meng Ling". From the words "Message to wipe the back", it can be seen that there were already complete service projects such as rubbing back and massage at that time.

By the Ming Dynasty, public bathhouses were common in major cities. Various service items in bathhouses, such as back rubbing, massage, pedicure, ear cleaning, etc. were already very complete, and naturally, the services in bathhouses were divided into high and low. The service levels that superiors and ordinary people could enjoy were absolutely different.

Wang Pu and Li Zushu were now soaked naked in the hot water pool.

After a battle last night, Chen Yuanyuan was indeed very troubled. But Wang Pu was really exhausted. Everyone said that it was good to use fire and waste charcoal, and a good woman. This is true. He guarded the two beautiful beauties of the family, Wang Pu was both happy and troubled. It seemed that he had time to ask Dad Li for a prescription.

However, it is quite refreshing to take a hot bath when you have time, especially when you are wrapped in the hot hot water, you feel indescribable comfort, which can make every pore on your body relax.

Chang Yanling leaned comfortably on the edge of the pond, tilted his head and asked Wang Pu, "Brother, why did you suddenly remember to ask your brothers to take a bath?"

Wang Pu smiled slightly and said, "Brother, please ask the two brothers for help if you have something to do."

Li Zushu said: "If anything happens, my brother just give me instructions, it's true."

"That's right." Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "The two brothers also knew that most of the soldiers in the camp were bachelors, and each of them was twenty-seven-red. When they were young, they were very strict in their military management. The soldiers were not allowed to go out casually all year round. They were locked in the camp and they couldn't help but miss women in their hearts."

Li Zushu said: "Brother, just say it if you have something to do, don't go around the corner."

"Okay, then brother will just say it." Wang Pu said, "The two brothers are now Qianhu, and will be the commander of the Jinyiwei in the future. The entire Nanzhili can be said to be the territory of the two brothers, so I want to ask the two brothers to help the elder brother do something on their own."

"Brother, what's the matter?" Li Zushu said anxiously, "If you don't like anyone, just one word, I'll take someone to do it tonight."

"It's not that you want to get rid of someone." Wang Pu said hurriedly, "but you want to ask the two brothers to redeem them."

"Reden people?" Chang Yanling said in surprise, "Who is redeemed?"

Wang Pu said: "No matter how many brothels, tiles and counties there are in Nanzhili, there are many brothels and painting boats, as long as they are beautiful and young, the girls will help their elder brother to redeem them forcibly!"

"Haha." Li Zushu smiled strangely, "Others are forcing the girl to rob the girl, brother, you are forcibly redeeming the singer."

"Brother, you really have found the right person for this matter." Chang Yanling smiled and said, "I'm afraid those bastards under my brother will die. However, brother, there are not a thousand tile shops in Nanzhili, and there are always eight hundred schools, including beautiful and fair-looking singing girls. There are at least a few thousand. Do you want them all?"

Wang Pu responded without hesitation: "I'll ask for it all, don't worry about the money."
