I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

The profession of boat girl seems to be naturally related to the word "Feng Yue". I heard that the boat girl from Slender West Lake in Yangzhou even somehow became one of the four famous prostitutes in ancient times.

About seven or eight minutes later, the boat girl packed up her things, steamed the crabs, went outside the cabin and called the guards who were waiting for a break, then shook up the wood pulp and continued rowing.

Although several guards smelled the smell of seafood after entering the cabin, they were not too surprised. Each of them took a piece of hairy crab and gnawed it as if they were eating sea crabs.

Only Zheng Zhipeng looked confused.

I... did I do this to someone?Why should I do this to her?And it seems...didn't you say you want to thank me?Why did I give away another large piece of silver in a daze?

To be honest, this boat girl is not very good-looking, at most she is above average. Compared to the women around Zheng Zhipeng, she is much worse than Xiaodie and Xiaolian, and even more so in terms of style. There is absolutely no comparison. Zheng Zhipeng didn't even react and it was over. Thinking back on it, it was simply boring.

As for feelings, there was no such thing. Zheng Zhipeng didn't even know the boat girl's name and didn't want to ask. It was obvious that the boat girl didn't intend to tell her.

I took a piece of soy sauce baked crab and ate it in my mouth. I felt that the taste of the crab was more delicious than the fishy fish that I just had. I quickly ate two pieces and then started to think about a question: Why does such a woman herself He could do it, but Yang Xu's sister still couldn't accept it?

Mysophobia?How could a person from later generations have a virginity complex? Besides, the boat girl was not a virgin either.

Zheng Zhipeng thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, but the ship had already arrived in Suzhou.

The boat girl said sweetly: "When we get to Fourth Master, I will be doing business in this area. If you go back to Hangzhou, don't forget to patronize me again."

After saying that, he gave Zheng Zhipeng a wink.

Zheng Zhipeng didn't feel any trouble in his heart, but he still rewarded him with a little more money.

The guard asked him: "Fourth Master, shall we go directly to Taohuawu?"

Zheng Zhipeng thought for a moment, and seemed to be less interested in Chen Yuanyuan after the rough and tumble with the boat girl, so he smiled and said, "No, let's just get down to business and go to the Weaving Bureau."

…………

This is really Zheng Zhipeng's first visit to the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau. He has been to the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau twice before, but the scale and influence are not at the same level.

As soon as I entered the government office, it was completely different from what I imagined. Not to mention the splendid royal features, the decoration style was far different from the ordinary prefect government office. Those who didn't know it might have thought it. Which county government office is it?

But if you look carefully, you can still see the pattern. It's very tall, big, but also very shabby.

Eunuch Yang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zheng Zhipeng coming, he did not greet him. Instead, he waved his hand and asked him to come and sit. Zheng Zhipeng found a seat at the bottom and sat down. Eunuch Yang even frowned and asked him to sit across from him. , then pushed a cup of tea to him and said: "The best Mingqian Longjing, the current market price is five taels of silver per tael, try it, this is what you are here for, men are usually reluctant to drink it."

Zheng Zhipeng was even more surprised when he heard this, but he still took a sip and said with a smile: "Good tea."

"Come on, who doesn't know that the Zheng family is as rich as the country? The family is rich in gold and silver. I'm afraid General Zheng rarely drinks tea cheaper than this. You said that with your worth, what kind of garlic do you wear a cotton-padded jacket all day long? .”

Zheng Zhipeng did not deny it, but said: "This is Eunuch Yang's frugality. This junior is ashamed. I should learn from you in the future."

Seeing Zheng Zhipeng smiling and saying nothing, Eunuch Yang sneered and said, "I know you don't believe it. You must be thinking, man, the Suzhou Weaving Bureau is in charge of almost all the official woven silk and satin in the country and produces nearly one million pieces of silk every year. How could it be possible?" Don’t have any money? But I haven’t put any of my money into my own pocket. The extra 30 you gave me last time was packed up by my men and sent to the capital. "

Zheng Zhipeng was dubious in his heart, but said sincerely on his face: "My father-in-law is honest."

"I'm so incorruptible. Have you ever heard of eunuchs being incorruptible? The word incorruptible has nothing to do with us slaves."

Seeing the confusion on Zheng Zhipeng's face, Eunuch Yang explained: "Our master is a master who doesn't rub dirt in his eyes, especially he has no good impression of eunuchs. Who among these eunuchs, large and small, has not done well?" I am trembling with fear, fearing that I will lose my head accidentally, but my master is mean to others, but he is even meaner to himself. He practices frugality on food and clothing, and the life he leads is very different from that of you, General Zheng. Don't."

Zheng Zhipeng said in a dumbfounded voice: "Eunuch Yang, if you talk like that again, I won't dare to listen to you."

"Hey, everyone knows this. We eunuchs are, to put it bluntly, the emperor's slaves. Master Tianqi favors us and we are naturally beautiful. Now that the master doesn't believe in us, we will naturally have to keep our tail between our legs. Besides, we are As a slave, the food, clothing, clothing, housing and transportation can never be better than that of the master. When Wanli was the eunuch, the eunuchs lived a comfortable life, but that was because Wanli himself was also a character who was not willing to spend money. So, you are here this time If you have brought money, you don’t have to take it out. I dare not take it, but I dare not spend it.”

Zheng Zhipeng nodded and said, "I understand."

Then he took out a small bottle from his belt, handed it over and said, "It's a small, worthless thing to honor your father-in-law. This is called snuff. It comes from overseas. It's a rare thing. I don't know if you've seen it." Xiao Yang Xu, he is selling this stuff in the Jiangnan area now. It is refreshing and very fragrant. Would you like to try it?"

"Oh?"

Regardless of which dynasty, eunuchs are irresistible to the word "fragrant". Even if all these great eunuchs try their best to put some fake beards on their faces to show off their masculinity, The smell must always be fragrant. There is a whiff of powder from far away, and the feminine aura suddenly appears.

The reason for this is not because these eunuchs are sissies, but because they pee uncleanly. If they don't use thick makeup, they can't cover up the stinky smell on their bodies.

It is precisely because of the odor that cannot be removed from their bodies that any eunuch is particularly obsessed with anything related to incense, especially the smell of snus, which has a more or less masculine flavor. Therefore, Zheng Zhipeng was in the church After learning how to use it, Eunuch Yang quickly fell in love with it.

"Okay, okay, great."

"If my father-in-law thinks it's good, I'll ask Xiao Yang Xu to bring a batch to my father-in-law later, and my father-in-law will send some back to the palace."

"If this thing belongs to you Zheng Laosi, then I'm really rude, but although I have never seen that little Yang Xu, I have heard about his situation. If you intercept the goods from him, what if this thing If it leaks out, you have to give him an explanation. If you buy goods from him, he won't be able to collect your money. If you let people give it to me, so many goods will be gone in a few days. Squeezing the brat dry? Don't worry about it, I will talk to Xiao Yang Xu personally."

"In that case, thank you Eunuch Yang for your consideration. To be honest, I'm really impressed by you."

"Haha, you will know who this man is when our relationship grows. Tell me, why did you come all the way to Suzhou to find me? You can't give me this gadget specifically. "

"I really need help from father-in-law."
