Chapter 156

Sitting on the cliff, Wei Qing heard a lot from the eminent monk.

Unable to eminent monks gave Wei Qing the feeling that he was not just a monk who had been staying in a temple in a remote mountain for many years, but also covered a wide range.Wei Qing simply told the eminent monk about Li Jiachun, but of course he didn't mention the existence of the Antarctic fairy, and blamed Li Jiachun's resurrection on that absurd dream.

The eminent monk seemed to have some doubts, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he talked a lot with Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's greatest interest in Li Jiachun was what made Li Jiachun, a prodigal woman, the tenth-class merit.

However, the eminent monk gave an answer.

"Every time a hero slaughters more dogs, chivalrous women have been born in the dust since ancient times."

Wei Qing was puzzled.

But the eminent monk continued to ask, "Do you understand men?"

Wei Qing asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Unable to do so, the eminent monk said: "Men have two hobbies. They pull the women of the Liang family into the water, and persuade the women of the world to be good. Li Jiachun was sent to the world of mortals for people's entertainment, but now you want Li Jiachun to be good. In your opinion, you are right. Yes, but in Li Jiachun's eyes, it may not necessarily violate her original intention."

Wei Qing said angrily: "Master, you mean that I shouldn't rescue Li Jiachun, but let her go back to her old job?"

Unable to do so, the eminent monk laughed and said, "You have to ask the female benefactor to find out."

Then the eminent monk could not tell me the story of Sai Jinhua, a famous prostitute in the late Qing Dynasty. The story of this woman, when Wei Qing was in his hometown in the countryside, the village theater troupe often performed various things about Sai Jinhua.Wei Qing still knew a lot about this legendary courtesan.

Sai Jinhua's experience is somewhat similar to Li Jiachun's, but much more exciting.

Sai Jinhua was sold to Suzhou Flower Boat as a prostitute when she was young. When she was 15 years old, Sai Jinhua met her true son, Lang Hongjun, a former champion of the Qing Dynasty, returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety. Accepted as a concubine, Hong Jun was already 48 years old at that time.To be able to marry a high-ranking and powerful scholar, this can be regarded as a very lucky ending for a prostitute.This incident was quite a sensation at the time.

Later, Hong Jun was ordered to go abroad to become the minister of the four countries. According to the imperial decree, Hong Jun's original wife must go to Europe with Hong Jun.But the original wife thinks those yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners are ugly and rude (in the Qing Dynasty, they regarded themselves as foreign countries, and the Qing Dynasty people looked down on foreigners, unlike today's foreign worship.) So this opportunity fell on Sai Jinhua's body.When she was in Europe, Sai Jinhua relied on her extraordinary communication skills to make friends with many dignitaries in the European high society, and was received by the German emperor and queen. This powerful capital became Sai Jinhua's way to reach the pinnacle of her life in the future capital!
After staying in Europe for three years, Hong Jun died of illness shortly after returning to China.

According to the customs at that time, Sai Jinhua was going to be a widow for Hong Jun.Unexpectedly, Sai Jinhua absconded to Shanghai as a prostitute on the way back to Suzhou on the way back to the south of Hong's coffin, and resumed her old business. The title of "Mrs. No. [-] Scholar" is sold out, so the guests come like clouds.

Such an act can be regarded as a strange thing from ancient times to the present!
With her strong fame and beauty, Sai Jinhua eventually became a generation of famous prostitutes in Beijing and Tianjin, and she was also called "Second Master Sai" because she liked to wear men's clothes.

In the year of Gengzi in 1900, under the suggestion of Cixi, the Boxers killed many foreigners in China.The big powers used this as an excuse to attack BJ, and Cixi and the emperor fled to Shaanxi.After the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered BJ, they raped, killed, looted, and robbed everything.Because Sai Jinhua was fluent in German, she negotiated with the German army and took out a group photo of her with the German emperor and queen. At that time, the commander of the Eight-Power Allied Forces was an old friend of Sai Jinhua’s in Europe, Wa Dexi. Desi interceded, and persuaded Vadesi to clean up the military discipline, less intrusion on the people, and ordered to calm the people.

This is the reason why BJ's people and many national treasures were preserved. Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as the Yuanmingyuan being burned, and even the Forbidden City might have disappeared. BJ City was preserved because of a prostitute, which made Sai Jinhua's reputation reach its peak, and she was called the "National Empress" in the world!
When a prostitute did such patriotic and protective things when the country was in crisis, it was in sharp contrast to Cixi who only knew how to enjoy herself at the time!
Who could have imagined that a woman in the dust all over her body would be so patriotic?
Sai Jinhua once wrote a sentence "The country is everyone's country, and saving the country is everyone's duty." Her patriotism is ten million times better than that of traitors and traitors at that time!
"Since ancient times, chivalrous women have emerged from the wind and dust" This is a true portrayal of Sai Jinhua's life!

Under Sai Jinhua's lobbying, the Eight-Power Allied Forces agreed to negotiate a peace, so the people in the capital were very grateful to her, calling her "Second Lord Sai, the minister who negotiated peace".But after Cixi and Guangxu returned to BJ, people from all walks of life came out to discuss their merits and appreciate them. Naturally, they didn't have the part of Sai Jinhua, and they were still doing the business of selling themselves by the door. At most, the bargaining chip for selling themselves was higher.

During the period, war compensation was also involved. Originally, Vadsey wanted the Empress Dowager Cixi to pay for the life of Minister Kelinde. The emperor wanted to apologize, and paid a high war compensation. People went to ask Sai Jinhua to intercede, and finally there was a relatively satisfactory peace negotiation result.

After this incident, Sai Jinhua was slandered and forced to leave BJ, and returned to Shanghai to make a new appearance, but Qiuniang was old, and the legendary story also left her.This woman went in and out of a wealthy family, fell into prostitution, married three times, widowed three times, had no sons, and was miserable in her old age.

This is the story of Sai Jinhua. Like Li Jiachun, Wei Qing didn't know whether to say that Sai Jinhua was lucky or unlucky.

They are also prostitutes, why can these two women, Sai Jinhua and Li Jiachun, do things that normal people don't have the courage to do?

"Whether it's Sai Jinhua or Li Jiachun, no matter how beautiful they were, they are still the lowest in the eyes of others, and they always remember their identities. This is their original intention, so Sai Jin Even if Hua has a patriotic heart, she still returns to her old career many times. Li Jiachun is the same. She never forgets that she is an orphan. They are just small rocks on the ground. The scenery, they all think that they are just a small rock!"

"Take off the color on them, they are also ordinary people. Shouldn't an ordinary person be patriotic and give back to the public when he is able?"

Wei Qing nodded, smiled wryly and said, "I understand."
