The one hundred and fifty-fifth round, the public is sad to visit Xipin
After the failure of the Bayou Uprising. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying had no choice but to return to Guangzhou. Gong Ren arranged for Tang Qingying to stay in a hotel. I came straight to the door of the Red Gold Building.
Today's Hongjin Mansion is more lively than the Hongjin Building 8 years ago. The Red Gold House of the Past. A door is open. A hall in the middle. More than a dozen embroidery floors upstairs. Today's Red Gold Building. All three doors are open. The oil lamps of the past have long been replaced by electric lights. The light of the "red gold building" three gilded characters. It's twice as big as it was. The house is carpeted. Illuminations shine. Live the life of Riley. Resplendent. Upstairs there was a little more to the back. It has long been changed into dozens of embroidery buildings.
It was evening. It's time to get a guest. Dignitaries. Wealthy businessmen. Shopkeeper factory owner. Ordinary people. Bustling. In and out. It's very lively. in the hall. There are dozens of tables alone. Guests drink tea, taste wine, play cards and have fun with girls unscrupulously.
Gong Ren wants. That's the deformed brothel economy. The prosperity of brothels brought prosperity to hotels, inns, clothing, money banks, transportation and other related industries. Behind this prosperity is moral mourning. Chaos in society. The Fall of Men. Woman's Lost. The re-outflow and concentration of wealth. For prostitution. Men need to put more effort into earning money. Go to the pit and be abducted. Go for tricks. And then throw a lot of money. Happily plunged into this bottomless pit. This is compared to those starving people who are struggling to die one by one. It's a drunken place to be. Another world of flowers.
But now there is no trace of Western products in the Hongjin Building. The old bustard had already sold her to a new place. A few intermediaries have long been heard from as soon as they turned. Where the hell is this place? Gong Ren had to search for brothels. Looking for clues of Western products. Hard work pays off. Finally, I found a somewhat crazy girl cleaning in the silver jade building. Her appearance is similar to that of Western products.
Gong Ren consciously feels shy. Don't dare to go in and trespass. I had to mingle with a bunch of poor people. Hiding in the crowd and quietly watching into the silver jade building. I saw an old man coming out of the red gold building. Gong Ren looks at him with a good face. I couldn't help but step forward and inquire: "Old man. DID YOU KNOW. Is there one of the girls named Xipin or Jinhuan?"
The old man smiled: "I guess I want to be a lover. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as there is money. All those who enter with the door wide open. I haven't heard of Jinhuan and Xipin." After speaking. A burst of ** laughter at Gong Ren.
Gong Ren sighed. The melancholy in my heart is even heavier. A weak woman with dementia. How can you survive in such a ** demon cave. But the disabled Xipin once left the red gold building, the silver jade building, these evil dye vats. It's not about dying of starvation or dying of disease.
The male went back and shaved. Cleanse your face. Dressed up neatly. I changed into a beautiful outfit again. Search for the package. Took out the only 3 bucks. I'm going to go out.
Tang Qingying stopped him and said, "Brother Gongren. Dressed so brightly. This is where to go." Gong Ren said: "Finally, I found your sister Xipin in the Yinyu Building. I'll go see her in the Silver Jade Building. I think she's panicking. It's better for her to die. It's good to live. I want to see her."
Tang Qingying's mouth pursed. Blocked at the door. Tou twisted and said, "Didn't she let the old bustard in the Hongjin Building sell it earlier. How is it still alive. I won't let you go."" Why?" Gong Ren asked incomprehensibly.
"Why. And ask why." Tang Qingying lowered her head. A crimson appeared on his face. Don't you mean I'm not pretty?"
Gong Ren lowered his head and looked at Tang Qingying carefully. on a round face. The ruddy skin of flesh struggled outward. Show the vitality of youth. Big eyes moist and watery. It's like talking with affection. Dark, thick eyebrows. If a vertical. That's also majestic. It's ridiculous. One stand and one sit with the demeanor of a general. Every move shows the heroic spirit of the young man. That kind of temperament. That kind of demeanor that combines rigidity and softness. It makes people have indescribable hearts and admiration.
Gong Ren smiled: "When did I say that you are not beautiful. What people say my Tang Qingying is not beautiful. I'm not done with him."
Tang Qingying's face flushed. He rubbed his body on Gong Ren and said, "Then what are you doing in the Silver Jade Building to find Miss Xipin. There I ...... No, it's fine."
Gong Ren smiled again. Stroked her hair and said, "You and her are two different things. Can't find a western product. I can't save the western products. The knot in my heart will never be unraveled."
Tang Qingying got into Gong Ren's arms and said, "Then I'm still not beautiful. You don't look down on me. Doesn't you get tempted." Gong Ren slowly pushed her away. Say, "Silly boy. How do you talk about adults? A man's heart. You don't understand." Tang Qingying said stubbornly: "No matter what. I just won't let you go."
Gong Ren broke free from Tang Qingying's dissuasion. Smiled and persuaded her, "Don't be jealous. I'll be back in a moment. I won't leave you alone."
Gong Ren walked out of the hotel door. Footsteps hurried to the Silver Jade Building. A slight hesitation at the door. Then he walked through the gate with a swagger.
As soon as I saw the guests enter the door. The big teapot can't figure out what the tenacity is. Just warm hospitality. Gong Ren slowly tasted the tea. calmly looked at the prostitutes one by one. The trials of the years have hardened his heart as iron. No matter how beautiful Sister Yao is, it is difficult to make his heart agitated. Watch Western Pin clean up in a corner. Gong Ren said to the big teapot, "What is this girl's name?" The big teapot said, "You say this stupid girl. Her name is Jinhuan." Gong Ren nodded and said, "It's okay. The name hasn't changed."
Soon. The old bustard also came out. In the exaggerated and humble welcome of the guests.
The old bustard sent off the guests. Gong Ren stepped forward. Pretending to be an acquaintance, he asked, "Mom. Do you still recognize me?" The old bustard was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't recognize it." Gong Ren asked again: "You take a closer look." The old bustard looked at Gong Ren carefully. Still shook his head. Say, "I don't know." Gong Ren said, "I'm looking for Miss Jinhuan."
The old bustard thought for a moment. I really can't remember it. I had to pretend to be an acquaintance and say, "Ahhh You're the old lover of the Golden Ring. Not seen in all these years. Where did you run to. Isn't it rich? Ah, man. You have to have feelings. If you don't have feelings. Then it's not human. You say yes. I want to see the Golden Ring. Isn't that easy. Just take the money."
Gong Ren took out 3 yuan and stuffed it into the old bustard's hand and said, "I'm here today. Just want to see the side of the Golden Ring. Nothing else. I just wanted to ask my mom to make it easier." The old bustard put away 3 yuan. He looked at Gong Ren with a smile on his face and said, "Don't mention money when you meet. Isn't it out of sight when you mention money? There are feelings that go on and on. It's still messy. Can you still cultivate it slowly without feelings? You're still thinking about the silly girl Golden Ring. It means that you are a lover. By virtue of this. I admire it in my heart. This time, 3 pieces will be 3 pieces. The next time we meet, you'll get 5 yuan. It's 10 yuan if we meet again. As you go. Isn't money a trivial matter. The important thing is to feel happy. It's a pleasure that no amount of money can buy. Don't forget. She hasn't budded yet. You are only allowed to meet. Don't do anything else. You know the rules here. I won't say more." After speaking. I went to greet other guests.
Gong Ren's heart was shocked.8 years.Xipin actually came out of the mud without staining.Moist clear ripples without demons.How much power of gods and demons does that have to be.A weak woman.It's this dementia that protects her original god.
Upstairs Kung Fu. Gong Ren asked this big teapot. He also has the surname Lee. Gongren also called him Da Lao Li: "How is Jinhuan doing this time?" Lao Li smiled and said, "Now. It's a world for young people. How old is the Golden Ring? Silly. In addition to cleaning is cleaning. It's not good to show up casually. Affect the cityscape. Guest. This is our place. It's a meal of youth. Don't you know yet. Thanks to you, you're still the old lover of the Golden Ring."
Gong Ren didn't want to listen to him talk more. Just listening to Lao Li's nagging. Entered the house of the Golden Ring. Lao Li closed the door. Giggled and walked away.
Gong tenacity stabilized the mind. First glanced around the room. I saw that the house was messy. A little bit of order. That's also only a place to sleep. There is a woman sitting at the head of the bed. Some are unkempt. But take a closer look. It was indeed a Western product.13 years of brothelland ordeal had greatly changed her countenance.Her dirty face showed the dryness and old age of her skin.A pair of big eyes were expressionless.Presumably her heart was like a pool of stagnant water.There was no happiness or pursuit.
Gong Ren sat down on a chair. Nor do they speak. Just quietly staring at the western pin. I want to carve all her figures in my heart. Melt in the blood.
Xipin raised his head and said, "I never have guests in my house. Who are you. What are you doing?" Gong Ren said: "Xipin. Let's see who I am."
Xipin heard her real name called. There was a sudden tremor. I couldn't help but shiver a little. Suddenly he stood up. She slowly raised her head. I saw that Gong Ren had come to his side. He's not a ten-year-old guy anymore. Now it's full of vicissitudes. Dark face. A few faint wrinkles have appeared on the forehead and the corners of the eyes.
The two stared at each other face to face for a moment. I found that the appearance of my heart and the appearance of reality have quietly changed a lot in the passage of time.
Gong Ren grabbed Xi Pin's shoulder tightly and shook it and said, "I'm Gong Ren. Western products." Xipin hurriedly lowered his head. Pushed the male toughness. An ass done on the bed. Bow your head and be silent. Like stupid.
Gong Ren said again: "It's been 13 years. They all blame me for not being able to do it. The Red Gold Building didn't save you. Only now know you're here. Let you languish in this fire pit for another 8 years. I don't know if you're cured."
Xipin still lowered his head. He shook his head gently at Gong Ren.
Gong Ren shook Xi Pin's shoulder again and said, "I am Gong Ren. Do you remember the public tenacity 8 years ago? Do you remember the tenacity of Gong Ren 13 years ago? You were naïve back then. Pure and lovely. Play in the bazaar. I was going to buy some meat for my father. Well, but his dying wish. But the money was robbed by the scoundrels. It's you. So kind. Help a poor man with tenacity. Gave me 30 cents ......"
"Say no more." Xipin suddenly roared. Suddenly stood up. He scolded Gong Ren angrily: "I don't know what Gong Ren is. I'm not called Xipin. I am the Golden Ring. I am the Golden Ring. You're not done yet."
Gong Ren was stunned for a moment. Say, "You really don't know me." Xipin said, "I just don't know you. You talk about tenacity again. I'll ...... you in a hurry."
Gong Ren sighed and said, "It seems that your amnesia will never be cured."
Xipin suddenly smirked. Laughed and said, "Look at me. How to start a tantrum with the guest. I'm Jinhuan. I'm Miss. No one wants me. You spent the money. Think about it. That's it. I can't throw a tantrum on you." Talking. You have to untie your clothes.
Gong Ren couldn't bear to look at all this in front of him. Bowed his head. Waving his hands and saying, "Okay. All right. Miss Jinhuan. I'll see you again when I have time. Rest well." Saying that, he lowered his head and hurried downstairs. Escaped from the brothel door as if he had done something wrong.
Gong Ren returned to the hostel. Seeing Tang Qingying, she hadn't slept yet. Drinking alcohol alone. Hand holding wine glass. It's already drunk. It is as if he is raising a glass to a person frequently. Muttering in his mouth. I don't know what she said.
Gong Ren was taken aback. A handful snatched the wine glass. Reprimanded her and said, "Little children's homes. Don't learn well. What to drink. You are a martial artist. When have you ever drunk alcohol. I want to waste my hard work." Tang Qingying snatched the wine glass again. Pour it into your mouth. He muttered, "I'm ...... today." Only then did I know the benefits of drinking alcohol. Wine is really good...... Stuff. I can't complain that you men are good drinkers. You...... How's it going with Miss Nishipin. Have fun."
Gong Ren snatched her glass again. With a gloomy face, he said, "What are you talking about? Your sister Xipin's amnesia is not good. It's still the same as before. She doesn't know anything. What am I going to do? In the past, she couldn't be cured. Now I want to treat her and I don't have any money. Oh my God. You can figure it out for me."
"Seriously, she's not well." Tang Qingying asked with a pair of drunken eyes.
"Can I still lie to you. When did I lie to you." Gong Ren said.
"That's good," Tang Qingying said happily. Then I'm going to have a few drinks. Celebrate well." Tang Qingying said that she was about to grab the wine glass again.
Gong Ren hid the wine glass behind him. Frowning and scolding her fiercely, she said, "Little child's house. Talking nonsense. A few cups of horse urine poured into the stomach. I don't even know. Her illness is not well healed. What's in it for you? I'm really drunk."
Tang Qingying shook her head and said, "Anyway, I'm just happy. I'm just happy anyway." Tang Qingying jumped and jumped happily. Singing and shouting. Gong tenacity even scared and coaxed. I finally coaxed her to bed and fell asleep.
In order to survive. Gong Ren had to go to the Guangzhou dock to work hard. Earned a little money back. Buy back a little bit of food. With Tang Qingying, he barely made ends meet and paid for the hotel. Tang Qingying could have been regarded as a Jiangyang thief. It's been unusually decent for a while. Honestly stay in the hotel and practice martial arts. It's like washing your hands on a golden plate. I don't bother at all about living in poverty.
Gong Ren asked her, "Eat brown rice. Drink boiled water. Not even a dish. Are you used to living like this?" Tang Qingying said nonchalantly: "I also have to learn to be a lady. Or. It's too big for anyone to ask for it. Women. You have to count on men. I'm counting on you."
Gong Ren asked her again, "Your little hands are still itchy." Tang Qingying sighed and said, "There's no way. You have to endure the itch. I want to open it too. Marry a man and marry a man. Dress and eat. In the future, I will have men who will take care of my clothes and food. What are you doing with those men's things? Or. People don't want me."
Gong Ren was secretly happy to hear this. Tang Qingying finally realized the truth of being a girl. If only it was the same. It's like a tomboy. I'm really sad to death.
One day. Gong Ren is carrying a big bag on the dock. Suddenly stepped on a piece of watermelon rind. Slippery feet. The body lost its balance. Even the person with the bag is about to fall. But at this time. Someone helped the bag a little. Only then can the male toughness calmly stabilize his body. Gong Ren hurriedly said, "Thank you." Turn your head and look. This person is none other than that. But it was his former friend Wei Jinshan.
Gong Ren was surprised and delighted. Surprised. Wei Jinshan is here. Where he appears. Where it seems to be not peaceful. Happily, after all, they are old friends. How can you not be happy to see old friends?
The male tenacity carried this bag. He took Wei Jinshan's hand and said, "Let's go. Don't do it anymore. Drink and go. I'm in for a treat. Good Lala. Not seen in all these years. How's it going?" Wei Jinshan smiled and said, "Just rely on you to earn this money. And invite me to drink. Forget it. You. I invited this guest. Let's go."
The two men entered the tavern hand in hand. Found a secluded place. I asked for a few side dishes. A jug of wine. Narrated a homely routine. Gong Ren said: "We have been friends for many years. Regardless of party affiliation. Speak bluntly. If you don't see it. Let's talk about what I've been doing in the past few years."
Wei Jinshan nodded. whispered: "I've been messing around for so many years. Or follow Mr. Liang on an errand. I want to be sincere. The golden stone is open. I believe. Sooner or later, China will have an emperor in power. I don't believe it. A talent in the prime of life can't rely on an old lady who is about to die. As long as the emperor is in charge. Is China still worried that the law change will not be successful? I don't know the tough brother. How is the revolution going? I can come here to carry my bag. And that says it all."
Gong Ren smiled and said, "Although I have participated in the uprising many times over the years. Repeated defeats. But the heart is still full. I believe that the revolution will succeed one day. The republic will come true one day. Until then. There will never be Emperor Lao Tzu alone. There are no more corrupt officials. No more hooligans and bullies running rampant......"
Wei Jinshan also smiled and said, "I think. Chaos in the party will not become a big thing. The only one that can save China. Or Emperor Guangxu. There is only Emperor Guangxu. in order to implement reforms. in order to achieve a constitutional monarchy. In order to follow in the footsteps of the Western reforms. Imitating England and Japan to achieve industrialization. Realize the prosperity and strength of the country. Haven't you heard? Now the imperial court is preparing to establish a constitution again. The imperial examination was cancelled again. That may also think that the dictatorship is not good. We need to do some democracy."
Gong Ren said: "It is the Guangxu Emperor who is in power. We're going to overthrow him too. Because we are a nation. Can't stand the tyranny of imperial power. Sooner or later, authoritarian regimes will be eliminated by democratic regimes." Gong Ren talked about Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine again.
Wei Jinshan was a little bored though. But I still pricked up my ears and listened carefully. Listen to Gongren's finished speaking. He said, "I want to. Our goals are basically the same. We must make China rich and strong. so that the people may have a good life. It's just that the path is different. Or. Let's work together."
Gong Ren shook his head and said, "It's impossible to unite. Wasn't the uprising of the Self-Reliance Army united that year of Gengzi. But so what? We are the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. You are helping the Qing Dynasty. How can it be united?"
The two argued. Or no one has said anyone.
Stopped for a while. Gong Ren suddenly changed his head. He said, "Do you remember Xipin?" Wei Jinshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why don't you remember. For the sake of Western products. We've made a bet. In order to be able to cure the disease of Western products. I've even had a doctor for her. In order to help you rescue the western products. I also took my men with me to save you. How are the western products over the years. Any news?"
Gong Ren said, "I just found out. It turned out that she was sold to the Silver Jade House again. I haven't been in Guangzhou for the past eight years. I really can't figure out her situation. You get the idea." Wei Jinshan was furious. Say, "You don't care about who cares about your affairs. I also asked if I knew about the situation of Western products. You're the one who should know her best." Stopped for a while. He said angrily to Gong Ren, "There is something I don't know if I should say or not."
Gong Ren looked him in the eye and said, "Say it. They're all old friends. What else can't be said."
Wei Jinshan said: "You don't want Western products. I want a western. I can't treat her like this."
Gong Ren listened silently. The heart fell into deep self-blame and pain.
Wei Jinshan didn't speak when she saw Gong Ren. Sighed softly. Say, "I'm telling the truth. It's distressing Western products. She shouldn't have landed in that place. That place. She really shouldn't have go. Don't know what we're doing wrong. God punished us like that."
Gong Ren talked about the current situation of Xipin again. Said: "In order to save the West Pin. The revolutionary party held a big action. You know that too. That time also lost to you and helped the revolutionary party again. That's what turns us around. But the old bustard of the Red Gold Building is afraid that we will save Xipin again. So he sold the western products. So we can't find her anymore. I've been looking for so many years. It turns out that Xipin is in the Silver Jade Building."
Hear this. Wei Jinshan was furious. He lost his temper and said, "What did you do earlier. Why did I know that Xipin was in the Silver Jade Building in the past few days?"
Gong Ren sighed and said, "They all blame me. These years of southern conquest and northern war. I don't have time to think about Western products. They all blame me. They all blame me......"
Wei Jinshan also sighed and said, "Xipin is a hard-working person. She can live until now. It's not easy anymore. You're not going to care about her. Who still cares about her. Only you can pull her."
Gong Ren said with a sad face: "It's just that I'm too poor. I can't get through that door if I want to." Wei Jinshan took out 8 yuan from his pocket. He put it on the table and said, "I'm a poor man, too. Not much money. You can save some money."
Gong Ren is really a little embarrassed. Say, "Ever since I've known you. I have been receiving help from you. I really don't want to go. You gave me the money. What are you going to do?" Wei Jinshan said: "I'll find a way. This place in Guangzhou is always more familiar than you. You don't have to be polite." After speaking. Two pleasantries. I got up and said goodbye and left.
Gong Ren watched Wei Jinshan's back gradually disappearing. I have deep admiration for him as a person. But he went astray for joining the royalists. I feel deep regret again.
(I want to know what will happen to Gong Ren in the Silver Jade Building.) Let's listen to the next breakdown. Thank you for your great support. Please bookmark. Please comment. Make friends.)
