Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chivalrous Hearts and Eyebrows

Speaking of Gu Hengbo, it reminds me of your sister-in-law who is a school girl. I think back then, when my brother was in graduate school, he was holding back his strength and wanted to soak in a beautiful eyebrow. Nai's luck was not good, or my brother's skills were insufficient, so in the end I only pushed one.

That person became your sister-in-law.

I vaguely remember that day after the start of school, my brother was still wandering around the campus as usual, looking for your future sister-in-law.

That's when your sister-in-law appeared in a skinny denim. Rao is your brother and I have been through the wind and waves for a long time, at that moment, my brother's old face: rubbing, flushed.

All of a sudden, shy.

The school flower, a veritable school flower at that time.

It stands to reason that people don't even look at us when they are a school flower. If nothing else, your brother and I are in too bad an external condition. The family is poor and ugly, one meter forty-nine, the key is that she is two years older than her, and she is also registered in another province. I had the courage of a thief, but I didn't have the heart of a thief!

Obviously unreliable!

Brother is not up, it does not mean that other children's shoes are idle. I think that at the beginning, the handsome little guys who were chasing behind your sister-in-law's ass were about to catch up with the train station for the Spring Festival, and my brother couldn't catch up with the money! But your sister-in-law eventually left her hometown, was fooled by me into going home, and willingly became a good wife and mother.

Why?!

Fate is one thing, but I think the means are more important.

Bhabhi has cheats. Ha ha.........

At dinner tonight, I also said to her: I'm sorry, old girl, for the sake of our son, my brother deceived you at the beginning!

Your sister-in-law smiled: I know.

I said: When did you know?!

She struck me on the head with her chopsticks: dead......

Hahahaha.......

In fact, if you are beautiful or not, turn off the light, and the quilt is covered, it's all the same. Everyone will have aesthetic fatigue, beauties are, and so are handsome guys.

The beauties were taken on a lot, and in the end they chose to be juniors; There are many beautiful women on handsome guys, and in the end they chose to engage in the base.

That's the reality.

Brother, I'm different.

Although I look at your sister-in-law like that, every time I see her eyes, I can't help but feel pity.

It was a pair of eyes that had captured me all my life.

Clear, gentle, and beautiful, it will never fade with the passage of time.

Therefore, whenever the two of us quarreled, I let her, even if she gestured at me with a kitchen knife: wipe, let you wipe the floor and grind chirp, do you do it or not, don't the old lady and chop you......

Brother also resolutely chose to bow his head.

It's not a nest, it's love.

Such a peerless beauty, she resolutely chose to give up her beautiful youth and live a dull life with me, a poor bastard, she is already very worthy of you!

What more could you ask for?!

Gu Hengbo also has such a pair of eyes.

Unlike your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is a good family, and she is a chicken.

She can seduce people more than your sister-in-law.

No way, professional, the foundation is very important.

Gu Hengbo was born with a good foundation.

Legend has it that she has eyes that can make people smeher. In the words of the book: Autumn water is abundant. It is said to be a man, as long as you look into her eyes, you are no longer you at that time. Similar to the Uchiha clan's Hitomi Jutsu-Tsukiyo, it is extremely weird.

Therefore, Gu Hengbo is called Hengbo, also known as Zhizhu, Shancaijun, and Meisheng, and is known as "Mrs. Hengbo". It's her weird eyes.

In fact, Gu Hengbo's real name is Gu Mei, and he changed his name to Xu Shanzhi after marriage. According to the records of "Banqiao Miscellaneous", Gu Hengbo is "Zhuang Yan and elegant, with an outstanding demeanor." sideburns like clouds, peach blossoms; The bow is slender and slender, and the waist branch is light", she is well versed in literature and history, works in poetry and painting, and the landscapes painted are naturally beautiful, especially good at painting orchids.

At the age of eighteen, he participated in the "Orchid Society" of Yangzhou celebrity Zheng Yuanxun in Nanjing, and the people of the time chased Ma Shouzhen with his painting style (that is, Ma Xianglan, who was born earlier, was also one of the eight Yan of Qin Huai, a well-known female painter in the Ming Dynasty, and she was good at painting orchids), and the posture was victorious, and it was pushed to be the first in Nanqu (generally referring to the famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River who did not sell their bodies).

Her place of work is in Meilou, "Qi window embroidery, toothpick jade shaft, pile up a few cases; Yaoqin Jinse, furnishings left and right, cigarette smoke, eaves Martin dang", the people of the time jokingly called "Maze Building". And the so-called "maze building" refers to Gu Hengbo's charming charm, and the visitors are all fascinated, which is really Wangwen Shengyi, that is, nonsense.

"Maze Building" is the courtyard built in Yangzhou when Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, because the place is "tortuous and deep, the attic is scattered, the Xuan curtain is covered, and it is connected to each other, such as the immortal travel", so it is called "Maze Building".

With the "maze building" jokingly called "Meilou", the initiator of Yu Huai is a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, at that time and was in deep love for the horizontal waves, what he said should be praised, referring to the "Meilou" building ingenious workmanship, the layout ingenuity is unique, and the view is similar to the fairyland.

As soon as this reputation came out, it spread far and wide. Gu Hengbo's personality is bold and uninhibited, with a manly style, and he is more similar to Liu Ru in Qin Huai Bayan. But compared to her sister, she is a little more willful and cynical.

Legend has it that the physicist Huang Daozhou at that time (later resisted the Qing Dynasty martyrdom in Jiangxi) tried to "have a prostitute in his eyes, but no prostitute in his heart" to boast of himself, and Donglin Zhusheng took advantage of his drunkenness to invite Hengbo to go to bed with his clothes to try whether he really had the ability of Yanagishita Hui.

This rumor may not be true, but it reflects Gu Hengbo's style of not caring about secular etiquette in the eyes of the people of the time.

Her style of doing her own thing and not caring about the eyes of the world may be an important reason why she was able to fly with Jiang Zuo's talented Gong Ding in three lives, but her controversy is also the result of this personality to a certain extent.

Gu Hengbo's talent and appearance are unique, known as "the first in Nanqu", and he is naturally widely favored by famous people, so that Meilou is like a city, and there is almost no banquet, and the people who often invite banquets in Meilou are called "Meilou guests", which has become a sign of vassal elegance, and many literary banquets in the south of the Yangtze River are also regretted by Gu Hengbo's absence.

is such a red girl who is loved by everyone, there are endless feasts every day, and there are always good guests who follow each other like a shadow, but there is still an indescribable and unclear grudge in her heart, especially in the middle of the night, she pities herself in the mirror and sings a sad and earnest "Remembering Qin'e":

The flowers are scattered, and the sound of the wind in the twilight rain in front of the curtain;

The sound of the wind, I don't know that Nong hates, and I force Nong to listen.

Makeup** sits on the hurt and leaves, sad and ashamed of the silver lamp at night;

Shameful silver lamp, waist and limbs are thin, and the shadow is also shared.

Gu Hengbo's resentment is not idle for no reason, although the life in front of her is prosperous, she can't help but think about the future. "The twilight of the hero, the beauty is white", the woman in the Fengyue field is most afraid of the old pearl yellow. At that time, the courtyard was gradually deserted and abandoned, and life was like a flower branch that had bloomed too much, helplessly cowering in the autumn wind. Because of this, the sisters of the Qinglou are looking for a favorite person when they are in their prime.

redeemed himself and married out of good for peace in the second half of his life. However, Gu Hengbo, who has lived on the banks of the Qinhuai River for a long time, has witnessed the fate of many sisters who have married, after all, they are from a humble background, and even if they marry, most of them can only be concubines, and in the end they will inevitably be excluded by the wife of the family, not living alone in the annex. is to suffer all the hardships and end up depressed, and there are very few good endings.

After seeing too much, Gu Hengbo couldn't help but think of himself, how many of these rich and noble sons who are revolving around him all day long are sincere? It's just a show, a thrill-seeking.

After a long time, Gu Hengbo really has a close lover, he is Liu Fang, a famous son in Nanjing.

Liu Fang admired Gu Hengbo's charm and talent, and came to Meilou as a guest in three days. also got Gu Hengbo's special affection, and on the head, the two also made a white head appointment. But the two have been together for three years, Gu Hengbo is twenty years old, long past the age of marriage, and has repeatedly expressed that he wants to end this life of sending Zhang Yingwei, but Liu Fang is always hesitant and delays again and again.

It turned out that Liu Fang also had his difficulties, he once revealed to his family the intention of marrying a famous prostitute Gu Hengbo as a concubine, but was resolutely opposed by his family, thinking that this move was an insult to the reputation of the court, and he was a cowardly and unassertive person, since he could not get the approval of his family, he would never make a move to leave home for love, and the matter dragged on so unclearly.

At this moment, another amorous son appeared in Gu Hengbo's life, this is the young Jinshi Gong Dingyu.

Gong Dingyu is a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, twenty-four years old, erudite and talented, the new middle school jinshi and the first, the young ambition, back to the hometown on the way back to the capital, came to Nanjing City, want to appreciate the charm of the gold powder of the Six Dynasties.

After being introduced by a friend, he came to Meilou, and as soon as he saw Gu Hengbo with bright eyes like water and reasonable eyebrows, he was immediately overwhelmed.

Gu Hengbo saw that he was polite and elegant, and he talked well, and he also gave a warm reception, and the two sat in front of the window, each holding a cup of fragrant tea, talking about poetry and painting, which was very speculative. Gong Dingyu admired Gu Hengbo's orchid work, and couldn't help but itch, and proposed to paint a small portrait for her. Gu Hengbo readily agreed, and immediately stood by the railing, Gong Dingxiao adjusted the ink and color, and soon drew a picture of "beautiful woman leaning on the railing", and also inscribed a poem on his own initiative:

The waist is jealous and the poplars are jealous, and the soul-breaking warbler hears it late at night; Qin Lou should have been mistaken by the east wind and did not send Luo Fu to marry the king.

The poems are overflowing with love, and there is also a clear expression of pleading. Gu Hengbo was shy and silent, refusing to say whether she agreed or not, just because she had seen too much of this kind of scene, she naturally would not easily believe the promise of a strange guest.

Gong Dingyu also seemed to see through her intentions, so he didn't force it, so he had to come back tomorrow to visit.

Next, Gong Dingyu spent a whole month in Nanjing, and came to Meilou every day for a month, or invited Gu Hengbo to visit the Jinling landscape together, or the two sat quietly in the building and chanted poems and painted, and the affection was very harmonious.

Before leaving, he proposed to take Gu Hengbo to Beijing to take up his post, Gu Hengbo thought about it again and again, but did not agree after all, but took down a golden hairpin as a token, and agreed to meet Gong Dingyu when he came to Nanjing again.

Gong Dingyu left, Gu Hengbo couldn't help but feel worried, and he actually made Gong Lang meet in his dreams every night. At this time, Liu Fang wanted to relive the old friendship with her, but Gu Hengbo felt that he was not interested, and only treated him as an ordinary guest.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sisters on the banks of the Qinhuai River invited each other to gather to admire the moon, and everyone sat in the flower pavilion in the courtyard of Meilou, drinking, playing and singing, so lively. When the wine is drunk, some people propose to compose poems in turn, and punish the wine if they can't make it, and the best one will be awarded a flower crown made of osmanthus flowers. When it was Gu Hengbo's turn, she squinted at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard that were blooming, and chanted a song "Drunken Yang Concubine Chrysanthemum" with a smile: a branch of the fence is fragrant at night, and she refuses to make light makeup at any time;

Since it is too real to feast, it is half cloudy and frivolous.

Dance clothes at the beginning of the purple dress, don't be good at making glamorous makeup;

The long night was overhanging on the threshold, and he was drunk and leaned on Saburo.

After everyone chanted a poem, they agreed that Gu Hengbo was unique, and a fragrant osmanthus flower was put on her head.

In fact, Gu Hengbo can casually chant this good poem, inspired by Gong Dingyu, when she turned her head to see the drunken Yang Feiju in the courtyard, she suddenly remembered the days spent with Gong Dingyu, and the poetry suddenly came to her heart.

Soon after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong Dingyu finally came to Meilou for the second time, this time he was passing through here on a business trip to the south, and the time was very tight, but he still took time to visit Gu Hengbo in every possible way. He could only stay in Meilou for a day, and before leaving, he finally persuaded Gu Hengbo and agreed to go to the capital with him when he turned back.

In the month that Gong Dingxiao went to the south, another thing happened around Gu Hengbo that touched her deeply.

Two years ago, a sister of the same age as Gu Hengbo in Meilou was favored by a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, Liangzhu hired back to Fuzhong as a concubine, when she went to Hangzhou, the girl's heart was full of joy and longing, who knew that two years later, the girl returned to Meilou again, her face was haggard, and when she went, she was like two people.

It turned out that after she got married, she was first harassed by a wealthy businesswoman and forced to live alone in a villa in the suburbs. But later, her husband married a beautiful girl from Suzhou, and his interest turned to the newcomer, and he gradually neglected the girl in the villa, and finally even the daily expenses were no longer provided, forcing her to return to Meilou with hatred.

As soon as the sister returned. Gu Hengbo's heart was half cold, and he lost confidence in the future.

A month later, Gong Dingyu returned to Meilou and was ready to redeem Gu Hengbo and marry back to the capital with great interest; But Gu Hengbo changed his mind again, and only said that he was cheap and weak, and he was not worthy of being a wife of an official family.

Gong Dingyu was disappointed, he caressed her and loved her a thousand times, and wanted to save her heart, and finally said that Gu Hengbo finally agreed to wait a year before going to the capital with him.

She wanted to use this year to test Gong Dingyu's sincerity to her.

Spring goes to autumn, a year has passed quickly in the book of fish and geese, Gong Dingyu was not annoyed by Gu Hengbo's push and push, as soon as the appointed time came, he immediately made a special trip to Nanjing and proposed to Gu Hengbo seriously.

Gu Hengbo finally believed in his beloved, and was moved in his heart, nodding in agreement with his request.

This is the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. It has been two full years since their first acquaintance, and after two years of hanging between the two places, Gong Dingyu has never forgotten Gu Hengbo's bright eyes that hide love. The twenty-two-year-old Qinglou woman married the twenty-six-year-old amorous Jinshilang, the sisters on the banks of the Qinhuai River who did not cast envious eyes.

After getting married, Gu Hengbo went north to the capital with her husband, in order to cut off the shadow of the happy years in the past, she completely changed her appearance, not only got rid of the heavy makeup in the past, but also changed her name and surname on her own initiative, and took the name of "Xu Shanzhi", which seems to be more suitable for her current identity as "Mrs. Jinshi".

At this time, Gong Dingyu was in the capital to do things for the Ministry of War, and his official business was not busy. Therefore, there is plenty of time and energy to accompany the newlywed concubine. He took Gu Hengbo to visit all the places of interest in Beijing, sowing their figures and sweet smiles everywhere. In their spare time, they stay quietly at home, enjoy tea and talk, enjoy flowers speechlessly, and live a full and interesting life.

One day, Gong Dingyu thought about it, and painted a small portrait of Gu Hengbo, on the painting, she was full of spring breeze and drunk, it was not drunk, but drunk by a happy life. After the painting was completed, Gu Hengbo smiled and earnestly picked up the pen and inscribed a poem on it:

I know all the hardships, and now I have a home. The lantern knew that the concubine was happy, and turned to look at the two flowers.

This poem clearly reveals her state of mind at this time.

Later, Li Zicheng captured the capital, and then became the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if the political situation changed, Gong Dingyu was determined to go with the flow, resigned to fate, who sat in the world, he bowed his head to the ministers, so the career has been prosperous, and finally achieved the Qing court's Ministry of Rites.

Gu Hengbo began to persuade her husband to be loyal to the monarch and keep festivals and die to martyrdom, but Gong Dingyu was reluctant to give up his future and a happy family, and successively became a minister of three dynasties.

Fortunately, Gu Hengbo is not stubborn in this regard, and she is unwilling to interfere more in the path her husband takes, so her small life has always been peaceful and stable.

In the winter of Kangxi's third year, she couldn't afford to be sick, and finally closed her beautiful eyes in her husband's arms, still with a peaceful and satisfied smile on her face.

When she was 17 years old, she painted the "Orchid Picture" fan, which is still hidden in the Palace Museum.
