After sending Old Man Fang away, Sister Han Qiao called in her "Second General Heng Ha" and ordered Huang Xiang, the leader of Turtle Claw, to be brought in.
Huang Xiang was also born in Lehu, with some knowledge of literature and calligraphy. When he was young, he sang songs and became famous for a while. He was "favored" by scholars and gentry and had "numerous hair tangles". However, his voice did not recover after falling down, and his original delicate figure
He also became thicker inexplicably, and could no longer "perform" or "sell himself". From then on, he had no food and had no choice but to mess around in the courtyard.
Because he was "tended to be a girl" since he was a child, he was forced into a position where he could only raise his buttocks to meet women, but could not do anything to women. Sister Han Qiao felt that such "bean powder water" was safe to use. At least she didn't have to worry about him.
Mess around with the old guys.
Although Huang Xiang is just the leader of the "bean powder water" in the courtyard, he is a very smart and intelligent person, and he has the status of half a butler in the Spring Visiting Courtyard.
When they came to see Li, Sister Han Qiao remained silent for a long time. The three of them did not dare to say anything themselves and just stood on the ground waiting.
Sister Han Qiao didn't mean to show off her authority, but it was a bit difficult at the moment and she didn't know what to do.
"These plagued Australians!" She cursed secretly. The world had changed, and she suddenly felt a little disoriented. She had to think twice about things that were once familiar to her - she had not yet thought about the new official.
Find out clearly.
What she is most concerned about are the five or six little girls trained by Mu Yun. The eldest among them is already twelve years old and is a "Pipa boy" who can be hired for work, although these girls are not very qualified.
, but as long as the training is good, in a few years there will be wealthy customers willing to pay to "comb it", and one person will be able to earn at least three to four hundred taels of silver. If the training is excellent, the customer will be generous, with a thousand taels
Silver is also possible.
It stands to reason that such a little girl is the least worried. Even though she is young and lives in a village, she is afraid of being beaten. However, several of these children still have people at home. If they know about this regulation,
According to the regulations, you may have to come to your home to ask for money. Especially if there is a girl whose uncle is a scoundrel, he will definitely come to your home to cause trouble and extort money.
In the past, she would naturally not be afraid. Nowadays, with the change of dynasties, there are endless incidents of self-retaliation, false accusations and accusations. Countless people have lost their families and lost their lives because of this. Fangchunyuan has been operating here for many years, not to mention how many people have suffered.
People's jealousy, just the fragrance of wealth is enough to make people jealous.
After a while, she said: "You all know - Australians now have a new rule." She hesitated, "We don't know what kind of temperament Australians have, and what kind of regulations they follow.
.However, according to my thinking, those who become officials are probably all the way. When Australians first enter the city, they have the ambition to compete for the world, so they must work hard to govern - the new official needs three things to do before he takes office. So we
You have to be accommodating, and you have to be able to deal with this face-related matter - don't make it difficult for Father Fang."
The three of them naturally agreed. After all, Sister Han Qiao is the backbone of the courtyard.
"It's just that some of the articles in this regulation involve personal contracts, so we can't let the sisters know about it." Sister Han Qiao said, "If this matter doesn't go well, it's not a big deal that our business will be shut down."
Huang Xiang said: "Madam, I'm afraid we can't hide this matter. Even if we have a tight fence, the guests will always be talkative. Sisters will know sooner or later."
Sister Han Qiao nodded and said: "I also know that this is a delaying tactic. But only by slowing down for a while can we be prepared." She pondered for a moment and said: "Leave her alone for those who are 'mucking' in the courtyard. Anyone who sells his body will do so.
In the past few days, they have been asked to write down a contract to borrow money: the interest cannot be high, but the cost must be high, so high that they will stop thinking about it."
"I'm afraid the sisters won't write this 'virtual money real contract' - they're not stupid, how can they take on a debt for no reason?" Mu Yun said worriedly.
Sister-in-law Yao said: "What are you afraid of if you don't want to write? First, let's make the whole house red, and then ask them to kneel down. When they are willing to write, when will they be allowed to get up! Who is ignorant, pull her behind and ask her to eat sesame oil!"
Mu Yun said: "Sister-in-law Yao, if you are tough, the matter can be done, but after all, this is a 'contract with empty money', which is untenable - now is a troubled time, and it is better to do less than to do more, so I am desperate."
, if the sisters are instigated by someone to start a fight together, and we really want to go to court, we have been unreasonable and now we have no backer, I am afraid there will be a lawsuit! "
When Mu Yun said this, Sister Han Qiao also felt that it made sense. Nowadays, the current situation is unpredictable. Although the door of this courtyard seems to be the same as in the past, she is still the unshakable owner of this courtyard. But there is something blowing outside.
The storm is blowing inside to some extent. Isn't this "regulation" just one?
I really want to push the sisters into a fight, and I'm sure there won't be any extraneous things happening.
She would rather the Australians levy a few taxes - in the past, although the government did not impose taxes, there were many gods who received incense from all walks of life - as long as they don't care about her affairs here.
Thinking of this, she hesitated again. At this time, Huang Xiang said: "Auntie, I think there is no need to ask the sisters to write a loan deed. I have already read the regulations. With my little knowledge,
Why don't we show off and call all the sisters together, and say that from now on, even if the sisters sell themselves off, all the money they get from receiving guests will be shared with the hospital..."
As soon as these words came out, before Sister Han Qiao could say anything, Sister-in-law Yao had already jumped out: "Brother Huang, I think you are deceived by lard! If you tell the truth, it is only the sister who is fooling around. If the whole hospital is
If you do this, how can I make a living?"
Sister Han Qiao also thought this idea was incredible, so she didn't say anything and watched what the turtle claw said.
Huang Xiang, however, remained calm and said: "Now that the account has been settled, they are the ones who have wages. The courtyard provides them with accommodation, food, and maid service... How can they not get money? Even if the aunt doesn't care about them.
After all, they’re too embarrassed to use it in vain because they’re afraid?”
As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly realized. Yes, in the past, except for the "self-promiscuous" Lao Ju who led the family, everyone else's prostitution money came from the madam. The sisters had no other income except getting some private money from the prostitutes.
Of course, the old madam also provides food and clothing. Now it has been split, so the old tea, meal, soup and water are all provided, and even now they wear clothes, lay out bedding, light lamps and candles, and live in rooms.
...You can calculate the prices for them in various ways. You have to be ruthless. The money the sisters get is not enough to pay the bill.
"...If it's not enough, it doesn't matter. Auntie is the most kind-hearted person. If you owe it, you just have to charge a small amount of interest. As long as it's not usury and exploitation, probably Australians won't be able to say anything." Huang Xiang bowed.
Body, said with a flattering smile.
This kind of thing is not without precedent in the industry. Some Lao Ji who did not have a "leader" as a backing and relied entirely on their own "self-improvement" were finally forced to sell themselves completely like this.
Sister Han Qiao immediately relaxed her brows, patted Huang Xiang's head, and said with a smile: "You bastard, I really belong to you! Why didn't I think of that!"
"That's the kindness of my aunt..."
"Shit! Can be kind enough to be eaten?" Sister Han Qiao curled her lips, "I'll do it your way!"
Several people discussed a solution. Sister Han Qiao beat Huang Xiang and Mu Yun, leaving only Sister Yao alone. Then she asked in a low voice: "How is the girl in the backyard?"
Sister-in-law Yao understood it and whispered: "I still refuse now, but my words are no longer so pure and ninety-nine." She said with a proud smile, "If you hadn't been kind-hearted, aunt, you wouldn't have allowed me to use too many tricks.
, I would have asked her to kneel down and beg to pick up the guests!"
Sister Han Qiao nodded slightly: "I know your methods. But although she is a widow, she is still perfect, and she comes from a rich family. If she is trained well and someone is willing to 'comb' her, it will be a big fortune.
So firstly, you can’t let the soybean powder water go to waste first; secondly, you can’t torture it too much. If you leave scars on your body, it won’t be beautiful.”
There are soft and hard ways to force a girl into prostitution. Not to mention soft, if one is to rape her with turtle claws, destroying her chastity and destroying her psychological defense; the other is to use non-exorbitant torture to force her into unbearable pain. At the same time, she must be strictly guarded.
She was left to commit suicide. She was tortured until she could neither survive nor die. Then she resorted to soft and coercive tactics, including softness and hardness, and relaxation. Very few women could escape.
However, this method should be used with caution on those women who are still in perfect condition - if the melon is broken, it will not be "combed" for the client, and the madam will lose a lot of income in vain; the torture will be too severe, leaving scars on the skin.
, and even more demeaning one's worth. After all, the Courtyard was an "upper-class social place" in that time and space. Even if everyone knew about such a disgraceful thing, it couldn't be revealed in such a conspicuous way.
Sister-in-law Yao said: "This little one understands. So I sent two people to guard her day and night, and the ropes were not all untied. But this girl has a very violent temperament. If she doesn't suffer a lot, I'm afraid she won't understand."
Auntie's kindness." Seeing that Sister Han Qiao was still a little hesitant, she added, "Auntie, don't worry, you still can't believe this slave's tricks? I guarantee she won't leave any scars on her body!"
Sister Han Qiao said: "I'm aware of your methods. I'm just a little worried." She went through the regulations regarding the requirement to be a prostitute voluntarily, "Although Father Fang has had his breasts patted, I still feel that it's a bit inconvenient."
Reliable. If we really have to take it to the police station, or get the license in front of an Australian cadre, what will happen if she makes a fuss on the spot?"
Sister-in-law Yao hesitated a little when she heard that this was what she was worried about, and said: "If this is really the case, it would be difficult to handle - she has nothing to worry about and has nothing to hold on to. Let me think of a perfect solution...
