There is a large lake in the south of Sioux City, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and extending into Sioux City on one side.The lake water is clear, and you can see the water plants and white flowers swaying in the water. These flowers never grow out of the water. They bloom when the sun comes out in the morning and close when the sun sets in the evening. The flower branches are slender and the flowers are delicate. The locals jokingly call it "watery poplar".
There is a small island in the center of the lake. The island is lush with flowers and trees, but if you want to go to this island, you can only go there by boat.
The strange thing is that all the lively streets in Sioux City are near the lake, but they all end half a mile away from the lake. There are no houses and buildings by the lake. They complement each other, and people often walk to the lake when they are tired of shopping in the market. In this open space, they can relax. There are also friends who meet for a picnic by the lake on a sunny spring day. , laughter, very pleasant.
I stood by the lake, watching the smiling tourists coming and going, and secretly had a plan in my heart.
"Old man, may I ask if you have been to this island in the middle of the lake?" I pulled a 70-year-old white-bearded old man and asked respectfully.
The old man stroked his beard and said slowly, "No."
"This small island in the lake is so beautiful, why don't people go boating on the island?" I wondered.
"As long as I can remember, this place has been like this. No one has ever gone boating in the lake. Everyone seems to be used to it." The old man looked at me and said earnestly: "Young man, when you get older, you will understand a Reason: You'd better not do things that others don't do. I advise you to be quiet."
I laughed apologetically and said, "Thank you, old man, for reminding me. I don't know which property this area belongs to?"
"I've never cared about these things." The old man said, "As long as I can take a walk by the lake, it doesn't matter who owns it?"
I thought to myself that this white-bearded old man could see clearly, and when he looked up, he had already wandered far away.
Since that day and the four envoys decided what they were going to do, the days suddenly seemed to pass quickly.Many things are easy to say, but to do it is to start with every little thing bit by bit.
Regardless of past life or present life, I am not a person who likes to worry about my brains and schemes. In my last life, I could be a mediocre employee in the company, but in this life, I got into the rivers and lakes by mistake. If I don’t protect myself There is only one dead end.
There has never been an exit mechanism in Jianghu, as long as you step in, you can only go out on the day you die.Even if a strange person like Shen Lang Wang Lianhua and Panda, sees through the world of mortals and buys a boat to go to sea, who knows if there is another river and lake waiting for them on the other side of the sea?
When I first traveled to this world, I thought I could make a new choice, hiding in the Palace of Ecstasy and being a fresh and refined white lotus, but I never thought that fate would eventually make me practice charm, and my fiancé died, wandering in the rivers and lakes. To make a living, you still have to rely on a brothel to earn money from men.
In this regard, I can only lament that the setting of Gu Long's pen is too powerful, as if there is an invisible big hand in the dark to bring you into the track he set, ordinary people call it "fate".
But no matter how ill-fated my fate is, I have to live bravely so that I will not be in this world in vain.
I secretly took note of the location of the small island in the lake, turned around and walked slowly towards the downtown area. Caige is on the edge of the downtown area far away from the lake.
As soon as I approached the gate of Caige, I heard the women's chattering noises coming from inside:
"We have been working in Caige for so many years, why do we just close it?"
"Didn't the pavilion master say that a new store is going to be opened?"
"Since we are going to open a new store, why are we all dismissed? There are so many rules in the new store, do you dislike us for not doing well in Caige?"
"That's right! They said that if we want, we can stay in the new store, but we have to take out the 100 taels of severance pay as a shareholding. Why is that?!"
"However, the pavilion master said that he would return our deed of sale to us..."
"You are too naive! Give us back the deed of sale, the world is big, where can we go?"
"Then it's better to stay in the new store..."
"Hmph! There are so many rules in the new store. If you fail the training, you will be refunded the share capital and let you leave. How can you feel at ease now?"
……
I stood quietly at the door, listening to the conversation inside, I couldn't help but sneer.
A familiar voice rang out, it was the charming and pungent Cai He: "You guys are obviously abandoned children that no one wants. You have been raised here for a few years, and you have learned a few words, but you think of yourself as a wealthy family. My lady! Everyone eats too much and is lazy on weekdays, with high-spirited eyes and low-spirited hands, and I wish I could sit here every day to knock melon seeds and gossip, and someone will send me money!"
Another voice rang out, confronting her: "Caihe, don't stand and talk without pain in your back! You are so proud and arrogant, isn't it because Master Luo from the silk and satin village wants to marry you as a concubine?"
There was a soft breathing sound from behind me, I looked back and saw Huafeng standing behind me with a pale handsome face, obviously I heard it too.
"So what?!" Cai He continued, "I didn't get the top seat in the Cai Pavilion for nothing. You make faces all day long, as if someone owes you hundreds of taels of silver. Fresh, who wants to face you all day long?"
"...You!" Several voices sounded at the same time: "See if we don't tear your mouth!"
I quickly pushed the door open and went in: "Stop!"
A group of women in the hall were fighting together, and when they heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw me and the flower bees behind me were all taken aback, their eyes flickered and they let go of their hands, they lowered their heads and did not make a sound.
"I heard what you just said." I cleared my throat and said, "I made the decision to close Caige. As for why you closed Caige, all the girls have stayed here for so long. I think anyone with a discerning eye can see how the business is going, and as for some people who want to pretend to be ostriches and bury their heads in the sand and refuse to face the problem, then it’s useless for me to say more.”
"The business of Caige is so slow, some people may say it's because the location is not good, some people will say it's because the peers compete too much." I looked around coldly and continued: "But you should ask yourself, each of you, Have you ever truly regarded Caige as your home, and have you ever truly contributed to it?"
Everyone's heads were lowered, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of tense breathing could be heard.
"You are all homeless orphans. It was the owner of Huage who brought you back to Caige, fed you and clothed you warmly, asked someone to teach you how to read, read and learn the rules, and provided such a place for you to have a chance when you grow up. Support yourself. How did you repay him?"
"If you hadn't entered Caige, what situation would you be in now? Are you begging for food on the street, or were you sold to a wealthy family as rough envoys?"
"Don't cry about how pitiful you are, and don't feel that this place is so low and unworthy of you. Each of you ask yourself what is your ability? There are still many people in this world who are starving to death, freezing to death, sickness and death. Compared with them, At least you still have a chance, everything depends on yourself, the choice is in your own hands."
"Caige is closed, but Caige doesn't owe any of you. I don't care about the money I spent on you all these years, and I will also give you the deed of sale. From now on, you are all free people!"
"100 taels of silver can allow you to start a little business again, and you can also live a good life without doing anything for a year or two. Of course, you can also marry someone else to be a concubine. This is your own decision. .”
"This world is harsh on women, but you are still young, and you are all living lives. From now on, will you live for yourself and control your own destiny, or will you eat and wait for death, and wait for others to redeem you, or Hiding in the backyard of the deep house for the rest of your life, as a man's accessory, it's up to you to decide!"
Someone began to sob softly, the sobbing sound was like an infectious disease, and after a while there was low sobbing in the room.
I calmed down and continued: "Tears don't solve the problem, and there is no savior in this world. Only yourself can save yourself."
"If you have a better future, we applaud you; if you are willing to advance and retreat with us, we clap your hands; if you still want to eat and die like before, we thank you."
I nodded to the silent flower bee, turned and left, and there was a lot of crying behind me.
Are they pitiful?Pitiful.
Are they hateful?hateful.
In this patriarchal world, how humble is the status of women and how limited their choices are.
If you were born in a wealthy family, you can rely on your natal family's financial power to obtain the status of a regular wife in your husband's family, but you can't stop your husband from having three wives and four concubines, or even a group of wives and concubines.If you were born in a poor and small family, you can marry into a big family and be a concubine, which is the best ending.Women are always an item around men, they can be bought and given away, even if you give them freedom, they don't know how to deal with themselves.
Perhaps it is because of this that there are strange people among the brothel girls in the fireworks field, Su Xiaoxiao, Li Shishi, Liang Hongyu... They come from humble beginnings, but dare to love and hate, and strive to change their destiny.
I don't want to whitewash the false peace in front of them. I can provide them with a shelter from wind and rain, but they must be responsible for their own future.
But tearing the bloody truth in front of a group of weak women who are powerless is not such a pleasant thing after all.
I was walking down the road in a low mood, and I walked to the door of Zhu's pawn shop unconsciously. I remembered an important thing, so I turned around and walked in.
The shopkeeper of the Zhu family looked at me with a smile: "My lord, you are here again!"
I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: "Shopkeeper, I'm not here to pawn things today."
"Oh?" The shopkeeper of the Zhu family blinked narrowly at me: "It's okay, it's good to come and walk around when you have time."
"I came here today, I want to ask the shopkeeper something." I laughed dryly.
"Why is it so important that you ask the young master to come here?"
I said respectfully: "The shopkeeper has been here for many years, so I think he must know whose family owns the lake and the island in the south of Sucheng?"
The shopkeeper of the Zhu family stroked his beard, and a shrewd smile appeared on his honest face: "Yes, I do know this."
"Really!" I said happily, "Can I tell you?"
"I don't know why the young master is looking for the owner of this place?"
"I want to buy this place."
"Oh?" The shopkeeper of the Zhu family raised his eyebrows: "This place is empty, there is only a lake. I don't know what you want to buy it for?"
"I want to build a paradise on earth here."
There is a small island in the center of the lake. The island is lush with flowers and trees, but if you want to go to this island, you can only go there by boat.
The strange thing is that all the lively streets in Sioux City are near the lake, but they all end half a mile away from the lake. There are no houses and buildings by the lake.
