Seeing the busy figures up and down Meilou early in the morning, the beauties of Meilou arranged the courtyard of Meilou on New Year's Eve, making Meilou full of the atmosphere of the New Year. Gu Heng felt that the fate of these beauties also needs to be changed.

These beauties with sincere smiles treat Meilou as their home and are carefully arranged. They also deserve a beautiful and happy independent life, rather than being forced to be concubines, or being forced to have nowhere to rely on in old age and being forced to endure a tragic fate.

When the beauties of Meilou cleaned the inside and out of Meilou and were spotless, someone suddenly came over and sent letters, jewelry, rouge and powder brought from the capital, and there was another golden hairpin!

The beauties in Meilou were curious to inquire whether Gu Heng was going to be a good person?

Who is this Gong Dingzi?

Is this man handsome and elegant?

Is this family rich and well-known?

...

Gu Heng was dizzy when asked, and finally had to go back to the room to hide for a while!

Gu Heng looked at the letter in front of him, a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, and rouge and water powder, which was a headache, but he thought that he would not marry him anyway, so he would keep his things first. Gong Dingzi would come to ask for it in the future and return it to him. There was no need to read the letter, so he would put it away!

So Gu Heng asked Xiao Cui to find the two original wooden boxes, one that used to hold letters from Gong Dingzi, and the other that used to hold gold, silver and jewelry from Gong Dingzi. He put away the letters and gold, silver and jewelry respectively.

Since Xiao Cui was having a New Year, she learned again that her lady didn’t want to get married and was very determined, Xiao Cui no longer asked about being kind and getting married in front of Gu Heng. Xiao Cui felt that her lady was so kind and powerful, and it was great not to get married!

So Xiao Cui did whatever her lady said, and she stopped talking!

As for the remaining rouge powder, Gu Heng knew that this thing had a shelf life, but he didn't like to apply these things. If it were not necessary, Gu Heng would never put these things on his face! So he asked Xiao Cui to share them with the many beauties in Meilou!

The Meilou sisters were very happy and grateful to Gu Heng, because they were all top-notch rouge powder in the capital, which was equivalent to modern and famous cosmetics! It is difficult to buy in Jinling City!

After Xiao Cui gave the rouge powder to the sisters of Meilou, she returned to her room to remind Gu Heng: "Miss, the sisters are very happy after receiving the rouge powder from the capital you gave me, and thank you very much. But today is New Year's Eve. At this time in previous years, Miss, as the owner of Meilou, you are going to post Spring Festival couplets!"

Ah! Today is New Year’s Eve, and posting couplets is a must-do. I was almost forgotten by Gong Dingzi’s shamelessness!

So Gu Heng said, "Well, I'll go out to post couplets now. Have you written the couplets?"

"Hai Begonia, who is good at poetry and couplets, is writing!" Xiao Cui replied.

"Then let's go out and see how she writes!" Gu Heng said.

"Um!"

Xiao Cui and Gu Heng then left the room and came to the main hall of Meilou. Gu Heng saw Haitang in red clothes and was writing couplets attentively. Gu Heng made a "shhh" gesture to his sisters, asking them not to speak out to tell Haitang first!

Gu Heng quietly came to Haitang and saw Haitang writing a couplet like this on the red paper:

In the house of King Qi, in front of Cui Jiu Hall, the good scene is remembering the south of the Yangtze River. It was once a vast sea of ​​water; at the head of the jade peak, under the moon on the Yao platform, leaning on the flying swallows with a light makeup, except for Wushan, it is not clouds.

Gu Heng was very surprised and asked: "Why do you write such couplets instead of Spring Festival couplets?"

Lan Xue next to her said: "My sister, we are brothels. This couplet shows that as long as the guests come here will be attached to the girls like us, the business will naturally be good."

"You see, these are clever collections of sentences, putting together many poems from predecessors, and they are natural, which is exactly suitable for the identity of a brothel woman like us." Lan Xue continued to explain.

"So the first couplet uses Du Fu's poem "Every Li Guinian from Jiangnan": "I found it in King Qi's house, and I heard it a few times in front of Cui Jiutang. It is the beautiful scenery in Jiangnan. I met you again in the season of falling flowers." This is quite appropriate. It is romantic and poetic." Gu Heng couldn't help but take Lan Xue's words and said.

"Yes, the second couplet comes from Li Bai's poem "Three Poems of Qingping Dictation": "If it weren't for the group of jade mountains, they would meet under the moon on the Yao platform." And "I would like to ask who is like the Han Palace, and the poor flying swallow leans on new makeup." These two sentences." Lan Xue then said what poems the second couplet quoted.

"And "There was once a vast sea of ​​water" and "It was not clouds to eliminate Wushan" are famous quotes from Yuan Zhen's "Li Si"." Taohong couldn't help but join the discussion.

"Well, the first couplet I wrote shows that we are women in brothels in Jiangnan. The second couplet shows that the women in our Meilou have the beauty of a jade ring flying swallow, which is the "peerless beauty" mentioned by the romantic talented man, so they can be deeply affectionate to us and will never forget it."

"I think this couplet can not only attract customers for us, but also tactfully express the beauty and talent of our Meilou women! It also means that our Meilou will be prosperous and will be better to the next level in the coming year!" Haitang said after writing.

"It seems that you are all for the good of Meilou. Thank you, sisters! But for the New Year, let's not think about Meilou business today, have a happy New Year! Haitang, write some Spring Festival couplets from ordinary families, which will make it more New Year atmosphere!" Gu Heng said after listening to everyone's understanding of the couplet.

"Then will we not open tonight?" said Liangzhu, who had not spoken.

"Do you want to?" Gu Heng asked back.

"It's not a question we want to or not, but the rules of brothels. If there are no special circumstances every year, we only rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year and are not open. There are still guests coming to have fun on the evening of New Year's Eve!" Liangzhu replied.

It turns out that there are such rules in brothels. It seems that brothel girls have worked very hard all year round and don’t have much rest time! But now I am the owner of Meilou, so naturally...

"That's another brothel, so we will naturally listen to me. We will not open tonight and tomorrow's Lunar New Year's Day, so we will all rest!" Gu Heng said loudly.

"Really? Sister Mei!" Lan Xue said incredible.

"Of course it's true, why are you lying to!" Gu Heng said.

"That's great! We actually have more rest time than other brothel sisters." Lan Xue said excitedly.

"Yes, I'm so happy. Since I've been in the dust, I've never been vigilant on New Year's Eve again!" Haitang was also a little excited.

"I'm so looking forward to it! We must watch the night tonight!" Taohong couldn't help cheering.

"Well, we can enjoy the wine and food on our own freely during the night!" Gu Heng suggested.

"You can also chat together!" Liangzhu suggested.

"You can also play cards together!" Xiao Cui suggested.
