Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The first half of this poem describes the scenery, while the second half expresses emotions, and both have their own intricate and wonderful writing styles.

It is like a painter's meticulous brushwork, in which the shape, sound, color and posture are all expressed. The second couplet focuses on rendering the entire autumn atmosphere, like a painter's freehand brushwork, which is only suitable for conveying the meaning and allowing readers to use their imagination to supplement it. The third couplet expresses emotions, writing from the two aspects of time and space, from wandering in a foreign land to a life of illness and disability.

The fourth couplet goes on to say that the poet's hair is turning white day by day, he has to take care of his illness and stop drinking, and he concludes that the difficult times are the root cause of his misery.

Such sentiments of worrying about the country and the times, and feeling depressed and frustrated, were surprisingly consistent with Xie Cheng'an's current situation.

Gu Qiongsi did not answer, but just nodded slightly. She naturally felt guilty in her heart. This was not something a girl like her who had been raised in seclusion could write.

That's right, she had traveled through time, and her soul was from a powerful country in the 21st century. She had been studying in school for the past 20 years, and was about to graduate when she was discovered seducing a married man. When she was trying to escape during the argument, she panicked and got into a car accident.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in such a country, and I had become a teenage girl in seclusion.

And she was a woman from a small family, so this was naturally not what she wanted.

The Great Chu Kingdom had never appeared in the history of her previous life, so she suspected that this was a parallel world, and that was why she dared to boldly borrow some memories from her previous life to gain some benefits for herself.

It’s a pity that there are very few things that can be used in this era. Only the classic verses from Tang and Song poems in her mind quickly helped her turn things around.

At the same time, she also helped her brother to pass the imperial examination. Even Xie Cheng'an's top-ranking essay was due to the poems in her mind.

After all, that was the life-long work of many generations of poets and composers, and it was something that these ancient people could not compare to.

More importantly, she had investigated in advance and made sure that they had never heard of these poems before she dared to claim them as her own so blatantly.

"Si'er, you are so amazing. If you were a man, this top scholar might be yours." Xie Cheng'an held Gu Qiongsi in his arms and bit her...

Early the next morning, Gu Qiongsi was about to go out wearing a veil again, but was stopped by Qian and taken to Rongdeyuan.

"Aunt Gu is going out so early in the morning?" Qian had just gotten up not long ago. When she heard that she was going out again, she was so angry that she threw a teacup.

I have been busy preparing for the housewarming party at home all day, but she doesn't help. Instead, she goes out every day. How can she be so shy?

"Mother, I went out for Sanlang and for this housewarming party. Please don't blame me." Gu Qiongsi lowered her attitude and explained patiently to Qian.

"For An'er? Do you need to run outside every day for An'er? Do you know what women's virtues are?" Qian was relentless. She didn't believe that Gu Qiongsi could help her son much.

"Mother," Xie Cheng'an heard that his mother had called Gu Qiongsi to Rongdeyuan, and he ran over in a hurry, but he still heard his mother scolding Gu Qiongsi.

"Mother, don't blame Si'er. She did go out to help her son with something." Xie Cheng'an stood in front of Gu Qiongsi without saying a word, and his tone when talking to Qian was a little cold.

Qian was furious. What kind of magic potion did Gu Qiongsi feed her son that made him protect this vixen without caring about his own reputation?

Before she could say anything else, Xie Cheng'an had already signaled Gu Qiongsi to go out, and asked Shuangrui to stay by her side to take care of her.

"An'er, what do you mean? What can a concubine like her do to help you?" Qian was a little puzzled.

Xie Chengan did not explain much, nor was it convenient to say anything more. He just said impatiently, "Mother, don't worry about these things. Just prepare for the housewarming banquet. By the way, find a wet nurse to take care of Rui'er."

After he said that, he flicked his sleeves and left Rongdeyuan.

Qian was so angry that her temples were throbbing. What was going on? She was so old, and her son was always talking to her like this. However, her hatred was not directed at her son, but at Gu Qiongsi again.

Doesn't she want to find a wet nurse? Isn't it because the money in the mansion is not enough?

Nanny Li supported Qian from behind at the right time and comforted her, "Madam, don't be too anxious. The young master must have his own plans."

"What does he know? The woman in the backyard goes out in public every day. This will affect our family style in the future. What's more, she is just a concubine." Qian held her forehead helplessly and sighed.

Naturally, all of these things were passed on to Gu Xunwei without missing a word. When she finished her breakfast, she happened to hear Chenxiang's general account.

I haven't even made a move yet and the two of them are already having a fight. Haha, it's really quite interesting.

"We're going out today too. Manager Li has already made all the arrangements, and the promotion for the new store is almost done." She wiped the corner of her mouth and said with a smile.

Then Chenxiang lowered her voice and said, "I just heard that Dingxiang went to the old lady's Rongdeyuan earlier this morning and just came back."

"Don't pay attention to her, let her do whatever she wants." Gu Xunwei sneered. She didn't expect Dingxiang to be so impatient. She had just been demoted to a second-class maid, but she turned against them so quickly.

Ten days later, when Gu Xunwei went to Rongdeyuan again, she found that the furnishings in the courtyard were much more tidy than before. She must have spent some money to decorate it.

"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to her mother." Gu Xunwei walked forward and greeted Qian in a polite manner.

Qian was sulking, but she was still directing the purchase of items for the banquet. When she saw Gu Xunwei coming, she wanted to get angry, but thinking of how she had ignored the mansion these days, she had to soften her tone and said with a smile,

"Weier, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Everything is fine now. The key is that there were some problems in the shop, and your daughter-in-law had to go out to check on the situation." After a polite remark, Gu Xunwei went straight to the point. Sure enough, she saw that the expression on Qian's face immediately turned bad.

"Didn't I tell you that I should let the shopkeeper come to the mansion to report from now on? You are married now, and it's not good for you to go out all the time." Qian turned around and sat in the main seat, looking at Gu Xunwei unhappily.

"Mother, you don't know that my daughter-in-law must go out today. If the problems with the two shops cannot be solved, I'm afraid that the current situation will never be reversed in the future. By then, I'm afraid that even if my daughter-in-law's father comes, it will be useless..."
