Actually, Liu Yu was thinking too much.
The brothels in movies were low-class.
A real high-end brothel, and you still want the honest officials inside to welcome guests? You're thinking too much.
Even if you asked them to play a song, they might not be willing.
Especially the top ladies of various brothels. Without any status, no talent, and just money, people would ignore you.
And the wretched man at the door was the one who helped pull the strings.
He would inform whoever you chose.
If you don't know anyone, he'll arrange it for you.
So in ancient times, although prostitutes were one word, they had two meanings.
One was selling his body but not his skills, and the other was selling his skills but not his body.
In modern times, prostitution was equivalent to those in Dongguan.
However, prostitutes were different. Although the status of prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty was lower than that of the Tang and Song Dynasties, ordinary prostitutes were comparable to the top streamers of today. Moreover, none of them sold their bodies.
As for the top courtesans of brothels, they were equivalent to modern celebrities. For example, the Eight Beauties of Qin Huai, who were comparable to the Golden Eagle Award goddesses of the future.
Hmm, comparing the Eight Beauties of Qin Huai to the Golden Eagle Award Goddess was an insult to the Eight Beauties of Qin Huai.
In any case, you only need to know that the honest officials in the ancient brothels were only responsible for accompanying you in reciting poems, playing the piano, and painting. They did not sell themselves.
"I don't know any aunties. You can make the arrangements.”Liu Yu curled his lips and said.
"Young Master must be joking. This is an official market. There are no such filthy things here.”
After a while, a woman brought two maids to Liu Yu's room.
"This little girl Ru Yu greets Young Master."
Beautiful!
When the other party raised his head, Liu Yu was very surprised.
To be honest, Liu Yu really hadn't seen many beautiful women these past few days.
The palace maids in the Forbidden City were just so-so. They couldn't be said to be ugly, but they weren't too good-looking either.
In the end, he was surprised to see such a beautiful woman on his first visit to a brothel.
Could it be that all the beautiful ones went to brothels?
It was just like how in the future, any woman with a bit of beauty would rack their brains to become a star.
"Miss Ru Yu, sit down and eat something together.”Liu Yu nodded.
"Thank you, young master. This little girl will pour some wine for you.”
Ru Yu took the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Liu Yu.
"A toast to Young Master."
Ru Yu reached one o'clock and then toasted Liu Yu.
At this moment, a Royal Guards soldier standing behind Liu Yu went up to take a cup and downed it.
"Young Master, the wine is fine."
The royal guard said seriously after drinking.
Instantly, the room became very quiet.
Liu Yu looked up at the sky. What could he say? After all, no one knew if there was anything wrong with the wine.
The Royal Guards did not do anything wrong. He would not be like a fool and ignore a beautiful woman.
The whole world belonged to him. He could have all kinds of beautiful women he wanted. There was no need to take risks for a woman from a brothel.
Even though the system sold all kinds of antidote pills and healing pills, he would not be so stupid as to drink directly.
However, the current situation was a little awkward.
"Cough cough…What does Ru Yu know?”Liu Yu asked to ease the awkwardness.
"Young Master, Ru Yu knows how to play the zither, sing, and dance. She has also learned poetry, calligraphy, and painting, but she is not proficient.”
As expected of an upright official. His knowledge was even more impressive than Liu Yu's.
Anyway, Liu Yu did not know how to write poems, nor did he know how to recite poems. As for painting, there was no need to mention it. At most, he could draw a picture of a chicken eating rice.
"Then, please allow Miss Ru Yu to dance.”Liu Yu thought for a moment and said.
Liu Yu could not appreciate playing the piano.
He had listened to ancient songs before, but he was used to listening to modern pop music. He really could not listen to ancient songs.
So, let's watch the dance then.
Modern dance, what the hell was that?
Since it was the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wanted to appreciate the ancient dances.
Ru Yu stood up and asked her two maids to play the zither. She went to the center of the room and began to dance.
Beautiful, very beautiful.
It was no wonder that the kings of ancient times would keep a group of palace maids who could sing and dance. Some of them were even appointed officials.
It was indeed good-looking.
In ancient times, there weren't many entertainment activities. They could only listen to music and watch dancing.
"You didn't dance well.”
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the dance ended. Ru Yu said with a slightly red face.
"Good, really good. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful dance.”Liu Yu praised him generously.
After chatting for a while, Liu Yu suddenly asked,"Miss Ru Yu, no offense, but I want to ask, how did you end up here?”
Hearing this question, Ru Yu's expression changed slightly. In the end, she still spoke.
"My father was a minister of the previous dynasty. He was demoted because of his mistakes, and Ru Yu was also sent to the Education Bureau.”Ru Yu said dejectedly.
Other than those women who couldn't survive and sold their bodies to brothels, who in this era would send their daughters to brothels?
However, after hearing Ru Yu's words, Liu Yu felt a little awkward.
It seemed that he had previously raided the homes of those ministers of the Ming Dynasty, killing all the males, and the womenfolk seemed to have been sent to the Education Bureau.
Fortunately, this Ru Yu was not a family member of those ministers who he had raided. Otherwise, it would be a little awkward to kill their father and then play with their daughter.
An hour later, Liu Yu left the brothel.
He was just out for a walk and experience it while he was at it. There was no need for him to stay for so long.
After returning to the Forbidden City, Liu Yu sent someone to investigate and see how many honest officials there were in the brothels under his control.
At the same time, how many womenfolk were there in the Jiaofang Department who had been demoted from the previous dynasty?
In any case, as long as they were innocent, and were the wives of the ministers who had been demoted by Chongzhen in the previous dynasty, those under the age of 20 were all sent to the Forbidden City to be palace maids.
The current Forbidden City was similar to a ghost city.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City were all sent away by Liu Yu to the three princes of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, other than Liu Yu, there were only the Royal Guards in the Forbidden City.
Yes, there were still a few eunuchs left who were responsible for passing on messages. However, those eunuchs were usually not by Liu Yu's side.
As a modern man, he definitely couldn't stand having a eunuch by his side.
It's already awkward to look at you, let alone follow you every day.
Now, Liu Yu finally found a good way to fill the Forbidden City.
These honest officials were all versatile. They were good sounding and good-looking. How good would it be to have them by his side?
Even if he didn't take her into his harem, he could at least pull someone to warm his bed when he was lonely.
Now that Liu Yu wanted to pull someone to warm his bed, did he have to pull the royal guards?
Although the Royal Guards would not reject him, Liu Yu was not interested.
As for whether those brothels would not be able to operate without these honest officials, that was not Liu Yu's concern.
In the entire world, he was the greatest.
Do whatever you want!
