Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 349

If you think about it carefully for a while, you will actually find one thing.

That is, Feng Yibo has been paving the way for the decline from the beginning to the end.

But this decline is not today, but after the spring of the coming year.

With today's foreshadowing, by that time there will be too many excuses for rejection.

For example: The king of Donghai County is still angry and has not responded to my proposal.

Or: Fatty Island newly acquired by Donghai County is still unstable, and all troops are stationed on the island and cannot move around.

Or: the benefits from the last time have not been digested, and Donghai County wants to stabilize.

and many more……

As long as he wants to refuse, there will be countless excuses.

These excuses are not just perfunctory, but have been paved in advance for today's meal.

So, the King of Beijing's drink today was really a waste.

After the banquet here, Feng Yibo insisted on going back to the ministry.

At any rate, he showed his face before Sanya.

After all, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites works hard, and he is not someone who is absent from work casually.

Time turned and we saw the end of the year.

One day, Jia Lian asked Xue Pan for help.

He wanted to prepare some rare items through the channels of the Xue family, so that they could be sent to various families as annual gifts.

The two made an appointment to meet in a restaurant, and the specific matters were handed over to the people below to discuss or not.

The two came to the box and ordered food and wine.

While waiting for the food to be served, Xue Pan asked with a smile:

"Second brother Lian, I heard that you have tasted the noble daughter of the Japanese country?"

More than [-] Japanese girls from the Japanese country have already gone to sea one after another.

The previous batches of Japanese women have already started "working" in Donghai County and Southeast Asian countries.

After receiving the news of Wei's consent, Wa Kingdom quickly put it into action.

They landed from Ningbo Port, and successively opened the women's house to the coastal states.

Just recently, it has also opened to the capital.

Under such circumstances, there are actually only a small number of real prostitutes among Japanese women.

Most of them are women from good families.

Some sea merchants saw business opportunities and invested in the purchase of many Japanese women.

In particular, some "noble girls" among Japanese women were bought by them and packaged.

Afterwards, in the bustling places such as Jinling and Capital, "noble girls" appeared one after another in various brothels.

Although Xue Pan was ignorant, he knew many noble children.

Moreover, he is not interested in the cheap women's house, but every time he hears people talking about some "noble girls", he still can't help but feel itchy.

Today, when I saw Jia Lian, a veteran of flowers, I couldn't help but chat about the hot topics in the recent romantic scene.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

Seeing Xue Pan's eyebrows and mouse eyes, he looked at himself expectantly.

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and nodded at him, saying:
"Haha! Wenlong, you haven't been to the Japanese women's house yet?"

He actually knew about Xue Pan's situation, so he rolled his eyes after laughing.

"Tsk! How should I say it? It's not too bad!"

Jia Lian smacked his lips with a look of recollection, and said:
"Actually, there is not much difference between Japanese girls and Liuying prostitutes. They can't speak official language, and no matter what you say, they will kowtow with 'hey'."

He has never tabooed meat and vegetables, let alone a noble woman from the Japanese country!He has already tried many times in the ordinary women's house.

When Xue Pan heard the words, he couldn't help being a little envious.

Then he thought of something, even though there were only two people in the room, he looked around and said:

"Let me tell you a secret. Yibo told me a while ago that the so-called daimyos in the country of Wa are at least hundreds or even thousands in the tiny place of the country of Wa!"

Speaking of this, it seems that I feel that my voice is loud.

He lowered his voice before continuing:
"Some of them are princes and princes who own a large territory, but many of them are not as long as ours!"

The head of the village is roughly equivalent to the head of the village in later generations, and he is in charge of a hundred households in the countryside.

Feng Yibo really told him this, and it was also true.

The most important thing is that most of the noble women in the Japanese women's hall came here.

After some female relatives of village and town level daimyo were bought back, they were dubbed "noble daughter" and "noble lady".

Don't say it!

These businessmen are really very marketable after such an operation.

Now even the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jinling and Hualiu Lane in the capital have their place.

Many Wei people who don't know why, their understanding of the name of the Wa Kingdom is the famous family of the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, many literati and scholars went to join in the fun.

Not for anything else, just to see the female relatives of the famous Japanese family who traveled across the ocean and came to give alms.

"Is this what Yibo told you?"

When Jia Lian heard that these words came from Feng Yibo's mouth, she was immediately surprised.

He frowned, and asked in disbelief:
"He also went to brothels?"

He asked himself that he was also a veteran of flowers, and his friends had more or less met them in Fengyuechang.

But in front of Feng Yibo, he rarely even heard about Fengyue.

Listening to Xue Pan again at this time, could it be that I misjudged him?
"What! Yibo naturally disdains to go to that kind of place!"

Xue Pan looked at Jia Lian like a fool, and said:
"Waguo was suppressed by Yibo led troops, why would you go to the Japanese girl's house if you don't have a Japanese girl?"

Hearing this, Jia Lian suddenly realized.

Wasn't it because of the terms of peace signed by Feng Yibo that the Japanese family let all the female relatives come out to sell?
It is said that in order to pay back the money as soon as possible, Wa Guocai even gave up his face and sent all the female relatives to Dawei to do skin and meat business.

In Feng Yibo's capacity, in a word, the ruler of the Wa Kingdom would have to send his daughter here, right?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian was puzzled again:

"Then why did Yibo tell you this..."

Xue Pan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

He waved his hand and said his way from left to right:
"I'll just tell you, second brother Lian, don't tell anyone! Yibo told me specifically that most of the real noble girls have gone back to Honshu Island, Japan."

Having said that, he said with a look of disdain:
"Those who are forced to come to our side, even if there are a few female family members who may be daimyo, they are not as good as our country gentry!"

The term "going to the sea" was used on the Japanese woman in advance.

Because of the "worker" guise played by the Japanese country, most of the Japanese women are still kept in the dark.

They were resettled by the Japanese country before, and now they have to arrange jobs for them.

After going through the war, there is no need to worry about starving to death.

This makes the Japanese women feel grateful to the country.

Moreover, under the propaganda of the Japanese country, going to sea to work is not only a contribution to the country, but also a part-time job to make money.

While repaying the country's debts, it can also remit money back to subsidize the family.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

With the endorsement of the ruler and the government, many girls naively thought that they could get job opportunities.

One by one, they are full of beautiful longings for their new life in the Kingdom of Wei.

For migrant workers, they call themselves "going to the sea".

Unexpectedly, as soon as he boarded the ship, he would find that he had been fooled.

Because, really going to sea.

On the way to overseas, many Japanese women were defiled.

When it comes to localities, it is strictly controlled and managed in a unified manner.

To wait for their work is to be forced into prostitution.

Those who tried to resist and escape were directly beaten or even killed to deter the rest.

With all kinds of terrible means, the surviving Japanese girl can only endure the humiliation and accept the arrangement of fate.

Shortly after Feng Yibo agreed, Japanese women's houses opened in Donghai County one after another.

With this kind of experience, the Japanese women's hall here is developing at an extremely fast speed.

Today, in the coastal prefecture of the Great Wei Dynasty, Japanese women's halls have blossomed everywhere.

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian nodded indifferently and said:
"This thing is just a fresh idea. After going there a few times, I understand that it's the same!"

He doesn't ask much from women, as long as they are strong enough.

Whether it is a Japanese girl or a prostitute, it is the same thing once you get started.

Xue Pan thought it was true when he heard it, and nodded and said:
"Let's not talk about Japanese women in the early years. I haven't seen even Haixi women. They are all rough and hairy. They are far worse than our Wei women!"

When Jia Lian was in Jinling, he also met Haixi women.

Indeed, as Xue Pan said, it does not suit the taste at all.

Not only that, most of them still have a smell.

Even two miles away, he felt his nose was smoky.

The two talked for a long time, and Xue Pan was already a little thirsty, so he shouted to the outside irritably:

"You guys 'raised by Japanese women'! Why don't you serve wine? The shopkeeper! Are you still doing business?"

The word Japanese girl has been juxtaposed with prostitutes in many places.

The swear words in many places have changed as a result.

From "raised by a little maid" and "raised by a bitch", it became raised by a Japanese girl.

Even prostitutes who also sell themselves look down on Japanese women.

After all, Japanese women are ridiculously cheap, and high-end brothel prostitutes even disdain their existence.

But there is real competition, and there are prostitutes in the flesh and blood business.

For the Japanese women's house that fights price wars, it really hates it.

A buddy came over with a question, and said with a smile:
"Excuse me, guest officer, the wine will be here soon, and someone went to the warehouse to get you some good wine just now!"

Xue Pan continued to scold, but Jia Lian hurriedly said:

"Then hurry up!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and told the man to leave quickly.

"Ahhhh!"

The man nodded and bowed and retreated, and Jia Lian said:

"Wenlong has the same knowledge as them? No one has lost his status."

Seeing that Xue Pan still looked irritable, he smiled and suggested:

"How about I take you to play and try something new?"

In his mind, Xue Pan was restrained too much by Feng Yibo.

As a man, it's normal to relax once in a while.

Today I asked Xue Pan to do something by myself, as long as he didn't tell, Feng Yibo couldn't possibly know.

"just forget it!"

Xue Pan was obviously moved when he heard this.

But after a moment of hesitation, he still shook his head with difficulty?

He swallowed his saliva before explaining:
"Yibo said that if I like it, I can get someone to give me a few to play with. I didn't agree, so why go to some Japanese women's house to make me feel uncomfortable?"

These words sounded very against his will, and anyone could hear his reluctance.

But when Jia Lian heard the words, he slapped the table suddenly and said:

"Hiss! That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"

He widened his eyes and murmured:
"Waguo and Yibo were the ones who talked about this first! Doesn't he want as many Wa girls as he wants?"

Obviously, he was a little tempted.

Seeing this, Xue Pan squinted at him, and said with a smile:

"Second brother Lian wants two jokers? Then I'll go back and ask Yibo for you?"

He didn't dare to ask for it himself, but it didn't hurt to ask for one for Jia Lian.

It's just that others have him or not, after all, I feel a little bitter.

"Forget it! I'll just say it casually!"

Jia Lian was obviously moved too, but hesitated for a while, then shook his head and sighed again:

"I owe him too much, I can't bother him with such a trivial matter!"

His words really came from the heart.

Jia Lian was very afraid of asking Feng Yibo, whether he would get him the wife of the king of the country of Japan.

After all, every time he makes a request, the other party always does his best, often exceeding his expectations.

"Oh! I didn't want my second elder brother Lian to feel sorry for me, so I didn't dare to ask for it!"

Xue Pan sighed, picked up what Jia Lian had just said, and said:
"To be honest, I was very tempted at the time, but I was also afraid that Yibo was testing me to see if I had really changed my ways."

He felt that he didn't dare to ask for it and Jia Lian was embarrassed to ask for it, both were the same thing.

For a moment, a rough man like Xue Pan felt emotional.

"You also know that when it comes to thinking, I can't compare to him in a hundred!"

He was afraid of Feng Yibo not only because of the initial shadow.

It is also afraid of the unfathomable thoughts.

Others don't know, but he knows something.

Not to mention that the old fritters of the Xue family were tortured to death by him, but to say that they offended his Japanese country.

Feng Yibo sent people to the country of Wa to stir up all kinds of troubles, which made the country fight continuously, and only then did the peace talks come to fruition.

This kind of method has only been heard in dramas, Zhuge Kongming is nothing more than that, right?

Others may not know the specific situation, but the Xue family participated in it and made a lot of efforts.

How could he, the head of the Xue family, not know?
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm afraid that if I really want to agree, he will make some ugly monsters for me and force me to do it."

This was the most poisonous strategy he could think of.

He shook his head and said firmly:

"I'm not going to be fooled by this!"

Jia Lian laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said:
"Haha! No way no way!"

Although we are all relatives.

But Feng Yibo responded to his every request, but restrained Xue Pan extremely strictly.

He is not allowed to go to the brothel, let alone, and he is not allowed to associate with a lot of dudes.

Among other things, this made Aunt Xue very happy.

After laughing, Jia Lian said earnestly:

"Yibo is also for your own good. It's because you are afraid that you will be hollowed out by wine and sex."

Xue Pan heard the words, nodded bitterly, and said:

"I also know it's for my own good, and I know it's my sister's idea, otherwise Yibo wouldn't be so careless?"

Speaking of this, he sighed again, and said:

"Oh! It's just that he beats me a few words from time to time, which makes me very nervous."

Since Feng Yibo came back, Xue Pan has changed his ways.

Most of the day, I take care of the family business with Xue Biao.

That is to say, it is rare to have leisure today, and Jia Lian happened to have something to do with him, so he took the opportunity to chatter a few words.

He is already very busy on weekdays, how can he have time to talk about Japanese girls?

The food and drinks here are served quickly, and the two of them drank and chatted without talking.

It can only be said that Japanese women's houses have blossomed everywhere, but the impeachment Feng Yibo imagined has not been seen for a long time.

Whether it is a scholar or an official of science and Taoism, few care about these things.

Many people even regard this as a romantic affair.

A few months have passed, and no one has realized the impact of this incident on the national atmosphere.

This gave Feng Yibo a deeper understanding of Wei's ethos.

In this regard, he discussed with Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin several times.

I just feel that there is a long way to go to reform the atmosphere.

　Today I wrote another article related to the work, and those who are interested can take a look.

　　In the work related, there are some interpretations of the author on the Red Mansion, and some ideas of the book.

　　Welcome to discuss and correct me!
