Chapter 3 Accepting Reality and Thinking Long Term

Gu Heng did not expect that after Xiaocui had been nagging him for a long time, he would later find several beauties to come and speak out. Among them were the beauties who woke up for the first time after Gu Heng traveled through time, and an eyebrow girl.

The girl in the building was a beautiful girl who was dressed up but looked a little haggard. Gu Heng seemed to have never seen this beauty before.

However, during the process of these beauties showing up to give their own explanations, Gu Heng also got to know these beauties.

For example, the beauties I saw for the first time after waking up after traveling through time traveled. The one in red was called Haitang, the one in blue was called Lan Yan, and the one in pink was called Taohong.

Haitang was born in a relatively good family. There was an embroidery workshop in her family. She studied poetry and calligraphy since she was a child. It can be said that she is full of poetry and books. Later, her father passed away. She and her mother did not know much about the affairs of the family, so they turned the embroidery workshop into a business.

Leave it to others to take care of you.

Later, there was a war, and the two wanted to close the embroidery workshop and stay away from the war-torn place, but the assistant made trouble. When they checked the accounts, they found that the embroidery workshop had lost thousands of taels of silver. Because of this, their mother fell ill, so she had no choice but to come to Qinhuai to work.

A promiscuous woman.

But Haitang said that even if life is so difficult, she doesn't like the life of feasting and laughing in front of others at all, but she has never thought of committing suicide, so she asks Gu Hengbo to live strong.

There is also Lan Yan. When Lan Yan was young, her family was framed by Wei Zhongxian, causing them to wander in a foreign land. When Lan Yan was nine years old, she met an old lady named Liniang. Although Liniang taught her music, she also asked her to learn silk and bamboo, which educated Lan Yan.

She became a multi-talented person, but in order to make her a money-spinner in the brothel, no matter how weird or disgusting the customers were, she had to force a smile, and even when she met the powerful, she had to show off her skills and prostitute herself.

Whenever he did something bad, he would be severely beaten by the madam. Lan Yan persisted in this kind of life for several years, and finally saved enough money to redeem himself.

But not long after she came out, she had no other ability to make money, and her valuable things were stolen. When she was living on the street, she luckily met Gu Hengbo. Gu Hengbo took her to Meilou and did not demand anything from her.

, she can choose to be an artist or not to sell herself, Lan Yan is very grateful, and hopes that her benefactor, Gu Hengbo, will not be confused.

Taohong, on the other hand, came from a poor family with many brothers and sisters. Taohong’s father favored sons over daughters and was fond of drinking and gambling. He often beat and scolded his wife and children. When he had no money, he sold all the daughters in the family or made them slaves.

, or sold to a brothel. Because Taohong looked pretty good, she was sold to Gu Hengbo. Gu Hengbo taught her how to dance and never beat or scolded her.

In her free time, Taohong heard about other people's experiences from other brothel sisters. Generally, madams are all about money and are not very kind to the women in brothels, especially those who don't make much money. But when Taohong first came,

She doesn't know anything, doesn't make much money, and Gu Hengbo doesn't dislike her. Taohong hopes that Gu Hengbo lives a hundred years.

Finally, it was the turn of the haggard maid whom Gu Heng had never seen before to speak. The maid wiped her tears with a handkerchief and began to tell the story.

Two years ago, a maid named Liangzhu who was about the same age as Gu Hengbo in Meilou was attracted by a wealthy gentleman from Hangzhou. Gu Hengbo immediately betrothed Liangzhu to the wealthy gentleman as his concubine, hoping that she would have a happy ending.

When Liangzhu was picked up by the wealthy gentleman, his face was full of joy, and his eyes were full of longing for a better future. Unexpectedly, two years later, Liangzhu returned to Meilou in disgrace, with a haggard face, as if he had aged ten years.

It turned out that after she became the concubine of a wealthy gentry, she was ostracized and made things difficult for her by his first wife, and had to live in a single-story building on the outskirts of Hangzhou.

At first, the wealthy gentry would go to the independent building to meet her every now and then, and bring her enough silver for her to eat. However, it didn’t take long for the wealthy gentry to give up, marry a beautiful concubine, and never have a future together again.

Guo Dulou. Liangzhu spent every day guarding the empty small building and was at a loss. Even his livelihood became a problem.

In desperation, Liangzhu could only go to her husband's home to ask for expenses, but she was ridiculed. In desperation, Liangzhu had no choice but to return to Jinling and ask Gu Hengbo to take him in.

Gu Hengbo took Liangzhu in again, and Liangzhu was very grateful. Liangzhu hoped that Gu Hengbo would not worry about men, because men are so ruthless. Who knows whether those men will be like the Hangzhou tycoon who always gave up? Because of these

It's not worth it for a man to give up his life.

After listening to the stories of many beauties, Gu Heng fell into deep thought.

Each of these beauties has their own misfortunes and helplessness. These misfortunes and helplessness were originally the unbearable side of their lives. The sad side should be well hidden in their hearts, but because they wanted to persuade Gu Hengbo to live and live well, they all

Tell your own story.

Gu Heng was very touched by this friendship. But when he thought of their experiences, it was mainly because of this era. This was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was about to come. However, the Qing Dynasty was still a feudal dynasty and would still not be friendly to these weak Han women, and when the time came for Jiangnan

There will also be wars!

After the Qing army entered the customs, the massacres that occurred in the Jiangnan area alone included the Tenth Day of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading, the Eighty-one Days of Jiangyin, the Massacre of Suzhou, the Massacre of Hangzhou, the Massacre of Jinhua, the bloody Sanjiangkou, etc. It was simply

There are too many books to write.

Gu Heng also remembered one thing, which was even more sad and helpless. In order to resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people in the late Ming Dynasty even came up with the saying "subdue men but not women". The men succumbed to the Qing Dynasty's "shaving their hair"

The Qing Dynasty's policy of "forbidding foot-binding" was adopted by the Qing Dynasty. Han women from all walks of life bound their feet one after another. This is quite speechless!

Gu Heng suddenly felt that maybe after he came to this world, besides seeking death, he could also do something, such as think of various ways to accumulate enough money, use some of his historical knowledge and other knowledge, try to save some capable people, and let

The Ming Dynasty should try to be as powerful as possible so as not to be replaced by the Qing Dynasty and change the direction of historical advancement in this time and space.

Perhaps the best result is that in this time and space, both men and women can support themselves and have the ability to work, and women no longer have their feet bound. That would be even better!

Thinking of this, Gu Heng said solemnly: "Thank you all, I won't think about seeking death. I will live well in the future, and I will lead everyone to live well together!"

"Really? Sister Mei, if you can do this, I will be very happy." The beautiful Haitang girl in red smiled like a spring breeze.

"Sister Mei, if you can think like this, I feel relieved!" Lan Yan, dressed in blue, said warmly, with a lot of joy in her tone.

"Sister Mei, as long as you stop looking for short-sightedness, I will listen to you in everything you say!" Taohong, who was dressed in pink, also showed a smile, as charming as a peach blossom after the rain!

Gu Heng felt a little itchy in his heart again, but thinking that he was a woman now, he could only put an end to the itchiness completely!

"Sister Mei, you finally figured it out and no longer live and die for a stinky man!" Yahuan Liangzhu also smiled sincerely.

"Uh uh uh, it won't happen anymore. I will take good care of my body. After I am completely healed, I will work hard to run Meilou and lead everyone to make a fortune!" Gu Heng didn't want to discuss the topic of "stinky men" with these beauties.

Quickly express your opinion on how you plan to live in the future.

After listening to Gu Heng's words, everyone knew that Gu Heng might need to rest quietly, so they all left, and Gu Heng's room finally became quiet.

Gu Heng looked out the window. It was already pitch black. Occasionally, there was a ray of light coming from a few rooms. He knew that it was getting late and he was indeed a little tired, so he planned to have a good sleep. Tomorrow would be a new day.
