"Could it be that over there they specifically go out to recruit frail, fair-skinned, handsome young boys who rival the beauty of girls?" Zhu Yu quickly asked, "Could it be that they specifically help people raise young men?"
"Not at all." The musician shook his head, "I've heard from others that Little Mountain Building doesn't favor those frail, weak young boys. They used to pick sturdy, strong half-grown boys who, judging by their appearance, could grow up to be robust and strong.
As for their looks... they aren't necessarily all particularly handsome, as long as they're passable."
This answer surprised Zhu Yu quite a bit. After all, wealthy families who casually want to find pretty boys or young men usually go for the handsome types. He hadn't heard of anyone raising pretty boys with standards meant for laborers.
