After seeing Gu Heng back to Meilou, Fang Yizhi said goodbye and left. Gu Heng returned to his desk, took out a piece of paper he had written before from the locked wooden box, read it carefully, and sometimes

Pick up the brush and write and draw on the new rice paper.

An hour later, Gu Heng asked Xiaocui to invite a few women who were good at needlework and asked them to use clean cotton, cotton cloth, needlework, scissors, etc. to make Gu Heng's modern work according to their own requirements and the shape on the drawing.

I’ve seen the auntie towel used by women!

An hour later, several aunt's scarves were made. Gu Heng looked at them and thought they looked like modern aunt's scarves!

Xiaocui asked curiously: "Miss, what is this used for?"

"This is for women to use when they are menstruating." Gu Heng explained.

"Is it the menstrual belt?" Xiao Cui asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it is equivalent to a menstrual belt, but it is more comfortable, more hygienic and more convenient than a menstrual belt."

Hearing what her lady said, Xiaocui couldn't help but look at these auntie towels carefully, and then continued to ask: "But how to use it? The menstrual belt does not have a belt that is easy to tie around the waist!"

Yes, I forgot that there is no adhesive on the back of this handmade towel, and I don’t have the conditions to get it out now. What should I do?

When Gu Heng lowered his head to think of a solution, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the buttons on Xiao Cui's clothes and immediately had an idea.

Then I ran to the table and started drawing with a brush, and then asked those who were good at needlework to sew it out with cloth according to the drawing.

The painting showed the appearance of women's underwear that Gu Heng had seen in modern times. After the underwear was sewn, Xiaocui looked at it for a long time, then transformed into "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and asked: "Miss, what is this? Why does it look like menstruation?"

The cloth looks like very short trousers? And why do we need two cloth buttons on the outer layer underneath the trousers?"

"These are pants, but they are only used to match this." Gu Heng said, taking the aunt's scarf that had already been cut with buttonholes on both sides, and buckled it on his underwear.

Xiaocui quickly took it over and took a look, and found that the auntie towel was fastened to her underwear. It was stable and would not move. She not only praised: "It's so magical! Miss, you are so smart. If you really use this during menstruation, it should be able to do it."

Very comfortable and convenient!”

"That's natural." Gu Heng said proudly, feeling happy to be praised by a beautiful woman!

"Miss, have you given names to these two things?" Xiaocui asked again.

When Xiaocui asked, Gu Heng couldn't help but think of the many inconveniences he had faced during this period of time as a woman during menstruation. The menstrual towels were all homemade by the maid, and no one wanted to buy them, let alone sell them.

Because people at this time were afraid of women's menstruation. Calling it a menstrual towel would easily make people think it was the same as today's menstrual towels, which would not necessarily make people willing to buy it. Calling it a aunt's towel might not be understood by others. Besides,

It's not elegant at all. Those rich people will think it's too tacky. What's it called?

By the way, this aunt's towel combined with these underwear can make women feel comfortable and clean during menstruation. Women will be in a happy mood and feel that everything goes as they wish. Why not call the aunt's towel Ruyi towel and these underwear called Ruyi pants!

In this way, regardless of whether you have money or not, everyone is willing to come and have a look and try it. The name looks festive and has a beautiful meaning. Who doesn’t want to be happy?

Gu Heng then took his aunt's towel and said: "This is called Ruyi towel, which means that you will be comfortable and clean during menstruation, and everything goes well!" He then picked up the underwear and said: "This is called Ruyi pants. Put on Ruyi pants, and everything will go as you wish!"

"Miss, you are so talented. The name is well chosen, has a good meaning and is easy to remember. With this Ruyi scarf and Ruyi pants, I believe it will be difficult to think of something wrong!" Xiao Cui couldn't help but admire.

After listening to Xiaocui's rainbow fart, Gu Heng suddenly thought of a way to promote the Ruyi scarf and Ruyi pants, but there is no need to say it now. We can wait until the textile shop is ready to discuss the promotion.

So he asked everyone to leave first, then went to the desk to write down some of his thoughts on the specific operation of the textile workshop, and then put them into the wooden box.

…

Three days later, on a sunny morning, Gu Heng met a person in the textile workshop that he and Fang Yizhi jointly purchased. This was the person that Gu Heng had sent to Kunshan to look for when he was planning to buy the textile workshop.

Who is this person?

This person is Gu Yanwu, one of the three major thinkers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." This famous saying known to all Chinese women and children comes from his book "Rizhilu". The original text is "Protect the world."

"How can a common man be held responsible for his lowliness?" Mr. Liang Qichao refined and summarized it and it has become popular ever since.

But now that Gu Heng meets Gu Yanwu, the more important reason is that according to what Gu Heng once discovered in modern times, combined with history and historical novels, this man is different from traditional literati. He is also a business genius with business acumen and strong ability.

This is really important for Gu Heng, who currently needs someone to take care of the textile workshop, needs someone to sell cotton, Ruyi towels and Ruyi pants, and will later need real talents to help him realize his dream!

In addition, Gu Yanwu was not like the ordinary literati who were self-admired, arrogant about their talents, ignorant of flexibility, and despised businessmen. The core point of Gu Yanwu's thought was "managing the world for practical purposes."

This is knowledge that misleads people and the world. This is in line with Gu Heng’s desire for people who are practical, flexible, and full of experimental spirit!

When Gu Yanwu saw the woman in front of him who still looked delicate even though she was disguised as a man, he couldn't help but feel very strange, because after he failed in the scientific examination this year, he was determined not to take the exam again.

He believed that the imperial examination was too pedantic and rigid. The eight-legged essay was difficult to write, and the ideological form was too rigid, so it was difficult. The ideological confinement of literati students was too severe. Gu Yanwu felt that it was no less terrifying than Qin Shihuang's burning of books and entrapment of Confucian scholars.

, it’s okay not to take such an exam.

Gu Yanwu planned to think hard about how to save the country, because he found that the court was caught in war and turmoil, and the people were in dire straits.

At this time, someone came to him, saying that someone wanted to fulfill the responsibility of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" with him, and asked him if he was willing to come to Jinling.

Gu Yanwu liked this sentence very much. It felt like it was tailor-made for him. He also wanted to see what the person who said this sentence looked like!

So Gu Yanwu came! But the person in front of him turned out to be a woman! Gu Yanwu was very puzzled. Why did a woman want to share the responsibility of "the rise and fall of the world" with him? How could she "revitalize the world?"

Seeing that Gu Yanwu was full of doubts, Gu Heng said calmly: "Master Gu, I appreciate that in order to concentrate on thinking about ways to save the country, you gave up the dream of countless scholars to get promoted and make a fortune, or to "learn literature and martial arts, and join the emperor's family."

I want to take the imperial examination, and I want to benefit the country and the people by actually doing something. Although I am a woman, I have the same idea as you!"

"Although your idea shocks me, I want to know even more what I should do with the word "Xing" in the sentence "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" that you asked your subordinates to tell me!"

Gu Heng was very happy, because Gu Yanwu asked this, which meant that he had made the right move by telling him Gu Yanwu's famous sayings in advance and arousing his curiosity!

Gu Yanwu's words made Gu Heng very satisfied. As expected, he was not pedantic, focused on practicality, and decisively only cared about what he cared about most!
