Chapter 375: Master's Story
If it were Qin Liusu, or any ordinary person, they would think that Qinglou was not a good place. Because of its existence, it has destroyed a lot of families.
Since ancient times, men have been inferior to women. It doesn't matter if it's monogamous, or three wives and four concubines. A woman's fate is also largely decided by her husband.
Whether a woman in a family is happy or not depends on her husband's face and intentions for her.
For a place like the Qinglou. Most people don't think it's good to think about it. But it didn't go away.
Those men who often mingle in the Qinglou, most of the wives in their families also turn a blind eye or swallow their anger. Occasionally, a few resisted, but most of them were to no avail.
"You're right, you're all right." Narcissus was not displeased by Qin Liusu and the world's thoughts.
"A place like the Qinglou is not likable. and we, the women of the Qinglou, have always been looked at differently by the world. At this, Narcissus couldn't help but smile again.
"But the world has such two sides, it is such a contradiction, especially those stinky men, while pointing at the Qinglou and saying that it is bad morals, and at the same time, they have to run into the Qinglou for three days and two times, and as soon as there is some stinky money in their pockets, they look greedy, one girl is not enough, two or three, you say it's not ridiculous."
"That's not the case, Master." When Qin Liusu heard this, he couldn't help but refute Narcissus:
"Although you have a point, think about it on the other hand, if there were no brothels, wouldn't many men with families not be tempted by these temptations? In other words, cutting off the root of Qinglou is not a great blessing for the world. β
After listening to Qin Liusu's words, Narcissus was silent. Qin Liusu was able to have such an idea, which really surprised her a little, but ......
"Qin Liusu girl, do you think your idea like this may come true?"
"I ...... I don't know, but I'm just thinking about it, but I'm sure it will happen one day. β
"Realization." Narcissus couldn't help but smile at Qin Liusu again:
"Qin Liusu, you are young after all, and you are always so naΓ―ve when looking at things. Not to mention whether there will be a Qinglou in the future, since ancient times, there are too few men who don't care. They basically eat in the bowl and look at the pot, whether there is one, two or three in the house, they will think about the outside. Moreover, even if it is like you said, the Qinglou will no longer exist in the future, do you think those men will not think of other ways to have fun, it will definitely be. β
"But...... If there were no Qinglou, then this situation should be better......" Qin Liusu guessed, some believed, but he was not sure.
"You're thinking too much. Even if there is no Qinglou, it still can't change the nature of those men. Narcissus said again:
"Since ancient times, their status has always been higher than that of us women, as long as they have money and power, as long as there are interests to be desired, they cannot be loyal to only one person for the rest of their lives. Not to mention them, just the emperor, the king of our country, has countless concubines in his harem. The emperor has made such a head, will the men in this world be willing to live with only one woman for the rest of their lives. β
Hearing Narcissus say this, Qin Liusu had nothing to say. Indeed, in that palace, the women owned by Dugu Yi, not to mention the show girls who entered the palace at the beginning, there were countless concubines who were selected into the harem.
Among them, some may be favored all their lives, some may be left aside after being favored for a long time, and some may only be favored by the emperor once and never see the emperor again. Also, they may not have seen Dugu Yi once in their lives, from the best years to old age, they have been buried in that harem for the rest of their lives.
Qin Liusu remembered that at that time, if it wasn't for her brother An Wenzhao sneaking into the palace and taking her away, if it weren't for him desperately protecting herself, she would probably have to stay in the harem for the rest of her life, and she might not be able to see her beloved in this life.
But looking back, if Qin Liusu had known in the palace that her father had been killed by Dugu Yi, she would not have come back easily. She will definitely kill Dugu Yi first.
It's a pity that when she left the palace and returned home, she didn't know that she had left such a regret.
Thinking of this, he heard Narcissus say: "Moreover, in this green building, not all women are people who sell their bodies. β
"Then they are ......"
"Most of them are poor people who have been abandoned by their parents since they were children and have nowhere to go, so they have to come to this Qinglou to learn art and sell their arts to survive. There are still a few who were abandoned by their husbands' families, and they have no face to go back to their parents' homes, and they can only come here, with food and shelter, and they can live. β
Hearing Narcissus say this, Qin Liusu also knew this. Thinking about the women in the Qinglou, there are actually a lot of things that can't help it.
"Then listening to you say this, not all Qinglou women are bad people."
"Bad guys? Girl, am I a bad person in your eyes? β
"No, no, no." When Qin Liusu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "Although I had some misunderstandings about you before, after getting along for the past few days, I feel that Master, you are a good person." β
"If I'm willing to accept you as an apprentice, you believe that I'm a good person?" Hearing Qin Liusu say this, Narcissus couldn't help but sneer
"Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you, or that there is some conspiracy......" Speaking of this, Narcissus deliberately looked at Qin Liusu with a strange look.
"Of course I'm not afraid. Since I have already opened my mouth to call you Master, I have already shown my trust in you, and trust is not easy to come by. And you give me a gut feeling that you're a pretty good person. Although sometimes you speak a little harder. Qin Liusu was also blunt, what did he say.
"Qin Liusu, you are still young and have not experienced this, so you don't know what kind of hardship they have endured and what kind of suffering they have endured. Moreover, they are not as lucky as you, although you used to be a homeless child, but after you met the family of the Marquis of Anyang, you can be regarded as having a good home. But their lives were not so good. β
Speaking of this, Narcissus couldn't help but sigh.
"A lot of places are not as good as Sanssouci Town. When I was in the capital before, the women I saw would not have survived if they did not have a place to live. Qin Liusu, not all places are as peaceful as Sanssoucian, and not all people are as good as Sanssouci Town. These are things that you have not experienced. β
When Qin Liusu heard this, he was really speechless. Indeed, there are many things that she has not seen and experienced in person.
"Then Master, have you also been in the capital before?"
"Yes, I've been to the capital before." Narcissus nodded and replied to Qin Liusu.
"What, have you been to the capital too?"
"I ...... I have been to the capital with my brother and Mrs. An before. Qin Liusu smiled, and then asked Narcissus again:
"By the way, Master, then when you came to Sanssouci Town, you wanted to open the Narcissus Building, also to take in those homeless women?"
Hearing Qin Liusu ask like this, Narcissus couldn't help but sink for a while, as if it was like this, and it seemed that there was some unspeakable reason.
"There's a reason for that. When I came to Sanssouci Town, Lord An helped me a lot, and persuaded the people of Sanssouci Town to open a narcissus building here as well. So, after I had settled everything in, I brought with me the sisters I had known who had nowhere to go. In this way, as time went on, more and more people came to me. β
"I see......"
Narcissus's words couldn't help but make Qin Liusu feel a lot of emotion.
Sure enough, he is shallow. I never had a good impression of this place of fireworks before. Now listening to Narcissus say this, she also knows that it is not easy for these dusty women.
Unconsciously apologized in my heart for what I had thought of them before.
Because of this, Qin Liusu's view of narcissus has changed a lot. I thought that Narcissus was the same as what the world sees, that is, an evil old bustard who does everything for the benefit of money. But now it seems that she is also a kind person.
Not only do you know the general situation, but you also have your own unique views on how to do things. Compared with before, it really made Qin Liusu look at her with admiration.
Indeed, Narcissus was able to gain a foothold in Sanssouc, and it was not enough to rely on Ahn Wenxun's help back then. After An Wenxun won a place for her back then, Narcissus also settled here by virtue of her own skills.
Sanssouci Town is not as big as the capital, although there are many rich and noble households, but most of the people living here are ordinary people who live with food and clothing.
In addition, there are also some wandering beggars like Qin Liusu before.
It is similar to the treatment Qin Liusu received back then. Although Sanssouci was not rich, the people who lived here were mostly warm-hearted and kind, and almost never drove away those who beggars, but on the contrary, often gave them some help, some food and old clothes.
The same goes for Narcissus. He often helps those who are in need.
In a place like Sanssouci that is neither big nor rich. She drives a daffodil building that is not too big or too small. said that she also has income, but this is really nothing compared to the love road in a prosperous place like the capital.
But she is also happy to live in such a place, doing her own small business, and living a simple but not simple life. At the same time, he will also send kindness to help many people.
Even if she speaks fiercely, but after a long time, most of the people in this worry-free town know what kind of character she is.
Even women, the women of ordinary families in Sanssouci Town, the women who sneered at Narcissus and her Narcissus Mansion at first, although they all said these unforgiving words on their lips, but after all these years, they have already understood in their hearts.
"Hey, Master, you said that you opened this Narcissus Building when you came to this Sanssouci Town alone, so when did you come? I remember that when I came to this Sanssouci Town, this Narcissus Tower was already here, and Master, you look quite young now, so weren't you still very young when you came. β
Thinking of this carefully, Qin Liusu didn't feel that he was curious or surprised.
"Why, isn't it good for your master and me to look young." Narcissus only smiled and asked her.
"Of course, I'm just curious, master, how old were you at the time, and you could open a narcissus building."
"Do you want to open it too?"
"I don't want to." Qin Liusu shook his head again.
"If you don't want to, you just can't open it. That's all for today, you can go back and find your sweetheart. Narcissus got up from the stool, left the last sentence and went out, unable to continue to satisfy Qin Liusu's curiosity.
When Qin Liusu hadn't gone home yet, An Wenzhao looked left and right.
took out a mask with a cat's face painted on it, and while seeing that Qin Liusu was walking from not far away, he put the mask on his face and quietly hid behind the wall at the corner in front of the garden.
When Qin Liusu came to this side, An Wenzhao jumped out of the ground. Dancing his teeth and claws at Qin Liusu.
Qin Liusu couldn't react at all, and then he was also happy all of a sudden, and he was amused to giggle.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" While happy, Qin Liusu reached out to take off the mask on An Wenzhao's face.
