Why do they use the term “thin horse”?

Because the brokers and middlemen who were in the business of “raising thin horses” bought the young girls from poor families at a low price and sold them at a high price after raising them, this was the same way businessmen bought thin horses at a low price and fattened them before selling them at a high price. Therefore, people called these women “thin horses”.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, “raising thin horses” became a lucrative investment, and a large number of people specialized in this profession.

!!

They would first invest in buying beautiful girls from poor families and then groom them. The girls would be taught singing, dancing, playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. When they grew up, they would be sold to the rich as concubines or to the brothels, for a profit.

Because poor girls were often thin and weak, the name “thin horse” came from this. The girls were bought for a very low price as children, but by the time they got married, they would fetch significantly higher prices. Ordinary people saw that there was profit to be gained and competition set in. This was the culture. In the Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou salt merchants monopolized the salt transport industry in the country. They had a lot of money and were rich. Therefore, at that time, Yangzhou was the most popular in the country for such activities.

Ye Yuqin clearly saw Bai Sheng as a skinny horse!

She did not understand the skinny horse saying, but she could clearly see Gu Chengze’s expression turn cold.

“I don’t care what you’re talking about. I just want to know if you’re getting a divorce.”

“A divorce?” Gu Chengze laughed. “The Gu family has a tradition. Once you enter the family, there is no such thing as divorce. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with other people. Unless Sheng’er wants to divorce me, there is no such thing as divorce!”

“You!” Ye Yuqin was so agitated that she got up from the sofa. She pointed at Gu Chengze and said, “Do you insist on having things turn ugly?!”

“Turn ugly?” Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Anyhow, what exactly are you going to do to create a scene?”

Ye Yuqin could not take it anymore. She turned around and said to Gu Chengze arrogantly, “Ah Chao, I’ll leave it to you!”

The burly man suddenly stood up and relaxed his shoulders. He tilted his head and A cracking sound could be heard. His sharp gaze was clearly provocative.

Gu Chengze casually touched the watch on his wrist and casually said, “I advise you to consider whether you have the qualifications to offend someone before offending them!”

Ye Yuqin snorted coldly. She pointed at Gu Chengze and said to Ah Chao, “What are you waiting for?!”

Ah Chao walked towards him.

Gu Chengze was still sitting on the chair nonchalantly. Seeing that he was still indifferent, Ah Chao guessed that he’d not regret unless he was at the brink of death. Hence, he raised his leg to kick him.

Seeing that his foot was about to land on Gu Chengze’s face, the bodyguard beside him suddenly reached out and grabbed the man’s calf tightly.

Ah Chao did not expect this at all. He was sent flying and landed on the coffee table. He gritted his teeth in pain.

Ye Yuqin was so frightened that she shrank her shoulders and cowered into a corner.

Gu Chengze did not move at all. In fact, he did not even bother to bat an eyelid. He looked up at the man who had fallen on the coffee table and smiled indifferently.

“Throw him out.”

“Yes, CEO Gu.”

When Ye Yuqin heard how the bodyguard addressed Gu Chengze, she was stunned.

CEO Gu?

Why did this man address him as “CEO Gu”?

Wasn’t he an ordinary employee?
