In ancient society, the status of Qinglou women was extremely low, and many people looked down on their origins, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't withstand the prejudices of the world after all.

There are many Qinglou women who are forced to enter the Fengyue place at a very young age, and at this point, their fate is not in their own hands.

The girls who were sold to the Qinglou began to learn various skills from an early age, and some dignitaries liked women who were full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

In this way, the women in the Qinglou can have a common topic with these people, and after a period of cultivation, their nightmare will eventually come.

The bustard will use force to force these women to pick up customers, and all they can do is to get as much money out of the client's pockets as possible, and only then will their lives be better.

But in the Qinglou, there are also three, six, nine and other levels of existence, good looks, will have many talents, naturally in the top, and the guests they receive are also "either rich or expensive".

If the rank is low, they have no choice, as long as they can pay enough, they can not belong to themselves.

In the late Qing Dynasty, many women would wrap their feet, because men at that time liked small feet very much, so they could play with them in their hands, so in order to cater to the aesthetics of the aristocracy, Qinglou women would also wrap their feet.

At that time, the Qinglou was not necessarily on land, and this boat was also the location of the Qinglou, and the Qinglou woman here was called "boat prostitute" by the people at that time.

In normal times, these Qinglou women have no freedom, and it is impossible for the bustard to let them go free, and the bustard is afraid that they will have any special "ideas".

A woman's most beautiful years are only a few decades, and if they are well maintained, they may last longer, but this day is not permanent.

When the women of the Qinglou don't have enough color to keep the guests, they will become discarded chess pieces, and even if the bustard drives them out of the door, they have no way to do it.

For their own future lives, those Qinglou women had to use their "best skills" to curry favor with their guests.

As long as they can take a little more money out of their pockets, their future may be more secure, but most of the time there is no future in sight, no hope.

In order to prevent the girls from committing suicide or doing something out of the ordinary, the bustard will send someone to monitor these girls, and in such a difficult life, the only thing the girls can do is to obey.

Most of these girls come from poor families, because their families can't afford to support them, or their families have suffered accidents, or they may have been abducted and trafficked to Qinglou, they know what that means, but they can't do anything about it.

Of course, there are also those who voluntarily enter this industry, because in feudal society, a woman's life is extremely difficult.

It is only when life is in a desperate situation that they choose to enter this profession, and among them, there are also some daughters of sinners, or prisoners of war.

At that time, the most taboo thing for women who did this line of work was to move their true feelings, but these women have seen a lot in the Qinglou, and they understand human nature the most.

To be able to have substantial benefits, there is no need to expect the so-called affection, and under their charming offensive, countless men have been taken down.

But the women of the Qinglou knew that no matter what time it was, promises were the least valuable, and when a person denied his promise, what could he do? After all, nothing was to be lost.

After thousands of tempering, the girls of Qinglou can also "play with ease" among many men.

If a woman falls into the dust and becomes a lowly member, then she will hardly be able to turn over in this life, not only her, but also her children and grandchildren.

If the child of a prostitute is a girl, then when she grows up, she will repeat the path her mother has taken, and if it is a boy, he will not be able to escape, and he has a great possibility that he will become the "turtle man" in the green building.

Don't think that the turtle is a good errand, the status of the turtle is actually lower than that of a prostitute, because the women in the green building can still serve people with sex, but the turtle can only sell his physical strength.

And no matter what time the turtle is around, he always looks like he has "low eyebrows and pleasing eyes", because anyone can step on them.

The business of the Qinglou women is not only in the Qinglou, sometimes the Qinglou women can also go outside, but because their little feet can't run fast, if they hire a sedan chair, the bustard thinks it is expensive.

At this time, the turtle slaves came in handy, they would carry the woman on their shoulders and send it to the designated place, and when they returned, the same would be true.

When turtle slaves and prostitutes are on the streets, countless people will perform "eye salutes" to them, but they have long been accustomed to such stares.

If these turtle slaves were lucky, when they were a little older, the bustard would marry the old and decrepit girl to them as wives, but the relationship between them was nothing more than a dependence on each other.

At that time, Qinglou was also divided into government and private, so among them, the level of Qinglou was also clear, and some Qinglou received rich people.

But there are also some green buildings, which are specially open to those poor people, but their appearance may not be allowed to be more advanced places, and there is also the fact that they do not know many talents, or - no talents.

For those who are poorer, this is not a problem, as long as they can enter the green house and have fun, it is quite good.

At that time, there were many women who went to the Qinglou every year for various reasons, and there were many women who were "eliminated" every year.

Being able to become the concubine of a rich and noble master is already the best ending for them, even if the age difference between them is dozens of years old, they are willing.

Because compared to the miserable end, what can't be endured, and if they don't go too far, their future lives will be "guaranteed".
