from the fast-wearing self

Chapter 589 No.20 Six Missions: The Scholar Who Built the Archway (End)
After getting all the jewelry, Feng Buyu left with a group of maidservants in a mighty way. Before leaving, she threatened Madam Han and Han Caiwei, telling them not to talk nonsense to the outside world. If she heard them, She will definitely repay it tenfold and a hundredfold.

Not only that, she also told them that she would sell the house in three days, and hoped that they would move out as soon as possible, lest the new owner of the house come here and sweep them out.

Whether it was the previous sentence or the latter sentence, the Han family was so angry that they were all fuming, and Mrs. Han almost fainted again, but no matter how angry they were, they had no other choice. Apart from sitting together and cursing without saying a word, what did they do? Neither can be done.

Because Feng Buyu stipulated three days, Mrs. Han went out to find a new house on the second day. They wanted to find a house again, but they didn't have enough money, so they had to rent the most inferior house. Not to mention the small ones, and they were dirty and messy, with garbage everywhere, and the roof was still leaking. Fortunately, the original owner bought them a lot of brocade clothes and cloaks, which made them feel better.

But here is far away from the academy, it is impossible for Han Shu to come back to cook for them every day, and Mrs. Han is in poor health, so the family work has been left to Han Caiwei for a long time, but Han Caiwei is a lazy person, wake up in the morning They don't come, they don't want to touch the cold water, so they only know to go out to buy things to eat every day, but they don't have much money, and they buy it after a few times, and when they run out of money, they start pawning clothes.

The fur coats that the original owner bought for them were expensive, but if they were sent to a pawn shop, they could be pawned for ten taels of silver.

As Feng Buyu said, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han are used to extravagant living habits. In such a short period of time, how can they manage to live as carefully as before? Enough for them to eat for a day or two.

but!

But before, Han Caiwei went to the restaurant to order more than 200 taels of food money in order to get revenge on Feng Buyu, but Feng Buyu didn't want to pay back the money, so the money naturally fell to Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han, no money?If you order so many dishes without money, aren’t you looking for death?
Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han were almost taken to a brothel, but it was Han Shu who came home in time to stop them, but the people in the restaurant were not so easy to deal with. In order to pay off the debt, Han Shu licked his face and asked his classmates to find him a brothel. He got a job as a teacher, but he still hasn't received the monthly payment. Apart from the living expenses, he is almost penniless. With nowhere to go, he can only ask the old man for help, hoping that the old man can lend him some money.

At this time, Han Shu had gradually calmed down after the initial anger. He began to think that he and Gu Xiangxiang were a husband and wife, and it should be natural for a husband to use his wife's money. Without going home, Gu Xiangxiang would use this to define him as a fraudulent marriage, which is really unreasonable.

Thinking this way, Han Shu borrowed the money confidently, and even took this opportunity to sue Gu Xiangxiang, hoping that the old master would be the master for himself, and that he would be able to get fame one day.

However, the old master has long heard that if Han Shu used money, it would appear that his atonement was not so sincere. Not only did he not understand half of what Han Shu said, but he also asked people to drive Han Shu away directly, saying that he would let Han Shu do it himself. Think of ways to.

Han Shu knew that the old man was very obsessed with the matter of obtaining fame, and he never expected that the old man would treat him like this, which made him still confused when he left the ancient mansion.

In order to make Han Shu unable to turn over forever, at this time, the procuress of the brothel arranged by Fengbuyu came on stage. As soon as she came up, she first boasted about Han Shu, lowered Han Shu's vigilance, and then fooled Han Shu and asked him to help him. He wrote lyrics and composed music for the brothel, and gave him ten taels of silver for a song, and now he can pay him 100 taels in advance.

If a scholar hooks up with a brothel and helps the brothel to write lyrics and compose music, his future is basically over. Although the imperial court has not explicitly prohibited scholars from doing so, literati look down on each other. Scholars rely on flower girls to make money, so they will naturally be looked down upon.

But Han Shu, who was in debt, could no longer imagine that much. Coupled with the prostitute's sharp tongue, he didn't think for long before he signed a ten-year contract with the brothel and received 100 taels of silver. He took it to pay back the money first. Restaurant.

In this way, Han Shu became a member of the brothel. He no longer worked as a teacher. He studied how to write better lyrics every day, and thought about making money every day. The strength of his original study has long since disappeared.

As for Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han, seeing that Han Shu was able to make money, they moved to a better yard and served slaves and maidservants every day, completely ignoring Han Shu's debts. Han Shu sometimes thought of a poem until midnight. Earn ten taels of silver, but Mrs. Han and Han Caiwei used it up in a day or two.

In addition, he had to consider Madam Han's body, and the burden on him was getting heavier and heavier. In this way, Madam Han and Han Caiwei still blamed him for being worthless, and Han Caiwei also looked down on him more and more. The news about the woman in the brothel writing the lyrics was spread by his classmates. After he was expelled from the academy, Mrs. Han and Han Caiwei directly scolded him for being worthless and failed their hopes for him.

At this time, Han Caiwei was seduced by a rich son, and fell in love with him, and no longer had to rely on Han Shu for survival, so she bluntly said that she would part ways with Han Shu and sever ties.

Han Shu never imagined that Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han would treat him like this. He did all this for them. They spend a lot of money. He never said a word. He also just helped to deal with the aftermath without saying a word, but now, they are the ones who scold him the most.

Han Shu deeply felt that he was ridiculous.

I deeply regret it.

And this kind of regret reached its peak when seeing Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han being picked up in a well-equipped carriage, and seeing Han Caiwei rubbing hands with other men.

He found Gu Xiangxiang, cried and said to her: "I'm sorry Xiangxiang, I was really wrong before, I shouldn't treat you like that, hit me, scold me, I really know I was wrong."

At this time, Feng Buyu had already gone back, and when he saw Han Shu in a state of embarrassment, Gu Xiangxiang smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it, you don't have to earn money to pay off your debts in the future, we'll settle it."

As he spoke, he tore off the IOU that he had written under Feng Buyu's persecution.

Han Shu cried even harder. Gu Xiangxiang exchanged 1000 taels of silver for his freedom. Han Shu regretted it even more, but he knew that Gu Xiangxiang had done a good job after experiencing the warmth and coldness of human feelings. Don't blame her, just hate myself for being blind.

In the end, Han Shu didn't study anymore, but chose to go south to do business, ran freight, and finally died in a cold winter, and Han Caiwei and Mrs. Han, because they were rejected by their sons and daughters, returned to that kind of poverty in life.

However, this time, there was no Gu Xiangxiang and no Han Shu to help them. Mrs. Han was in poor health and died soon. She sold her body and became a young lady in Hualou.

Sometimes when being bullied by customers, Han Caiwei also wondered, if she hadn't been so unruly and self-willed, looked down on business women so much, and didn't take Gu Xiangxiang's dedication for granted, would she still be living a prosperous life now? What about life?

But it's too late to regret it. How could a person like her get the chance to counterattack?
