Rebirth: Concubine of the Republic of China bravely enters the entertainment industry

The arrangement of fate is really interesting;

Gu Chaosheng, Gu Jinfan, Shen Sicheng, Shen Xian;

Qiao Sitian just happened to like Gu Jinfan, and He Yitong just happened to like Gu Chaosheng;

He Yitong and Gu Chaosheng lived next door to each other and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Also, because Gu Chaosheng was ambitious and studious, his father was optimistic about him and tacitly approved of their relationship.

Before his father passed away, he wanted to entrust Yitang to the Gu family, but the other party thought that her family was too poor and she had a sick mother, so they agreed to it in a somewhat euphemistic way, but at least they agreed;

The only dowry the family could afford was a pair of jade earrings from her mother, and her father prepared two boxes of books for her dowry.

The wedding date has come, but Gu Chaosheng has not returned yet. He Yitong is so bold that he even thinks of going south alone to look for him. However, before he reaches the station, he is found by Gu's family, who bring him the sad news of his father's death.

My father's funeral was a bit simple, but several gentlemen who were familiar with him came to attend the ceremony. Mr. Kong even wrote a letter from the north to express his condolences, and even said that if there were any difficulties, they could go north to find him;

But the Gu family, who were separated by a wall, did not express anything;

Because of the mourning period, the wedding was cancelled. The Gu family had not made any arrangements from the beginning to the end, so the wedding was cancelled and no news was released.

The people in Liushu Hutong only knew that the son of the Gu family went south to study, but they didn't know that he had wasted his marriage.

After my father passed away, my mother became even sicker and could hardly get up. There was a mother in the mansion who helped to wash and take care of her. She would go home after finishing her work during the day, and at night, only the mother and daughter would rely on each other.

The family didn't have much savings. He's mother needed medicine every now and then, and some tonics every half a month. Soon, money was running out, and He Yitang slowly began to pawn some things.

But now the family has no income, which means they are living off their savings. Moreover, they don’t have a mountain at home. After pawning everything, there is nothing left. He Yitong looked at the two large boxes of books left by her father. If she can’t even keep these, what else can she keep?

She didn't know how to mend. At the age of sixteen, she had only read a lot of books, so she went to an uncle in a bookstore to see if she could help with some work, at least to earn some money to supplement the family expenses. However, the bookstore's business was not good, and it was difficult to hire people to help;

He Yitong asked if she could set up a table in front of the store to help people write letters. There were many people coming and going, so it was also a way out. The other party agreed, and she helped people write letters in front of the bookstore;

It was also because of writing letters for someone that I met Mu Haitang from the opera troupe;

After they got to know each other, they found out that the characters in their names were the same. Mu Haitang introduced her to a job. There was a well-known opera fan in the troupe, nicknamed Jin Yuanwai, because of his large family business, so he was given this name.

Mr. Jin had only one daughter, and wanted to find a teacher to teach her at home. Reputable teachers looked down on this job, and he looked down on those who were willing to teach at home. Therefore, Miss Jin was twelve years old, but she still hadn't found a suitable teacher.

When He Yitang heard this, he thought that teaching girls to read was a good thing, so he immediately agreed;

But Mu Haitang still had concerns. She said hesitantly, "After all, you are an unmarried girl. If you go in and out of the Jin family like this, others might gossip about you."

It's not that Mu Haitang is overthinking, but this is the way the world is. He Yitang doesn't want to go against these rules, but she has no choice;

"I can't care about these things now, Haitang, please help me, I really need this job," He Yitang said, sealing the envelope and handing it to her;

Mu Haitang knew her situation and sent a letter to Mr. Jin. After receiving a reply, she came to find He Yitang the next day and said that Mr. Jin had already agreed to let her meet Miss Jin first. If the two of them were compatible, they would start formal lessons.

When Mu Haitang came, she also brought her a set of clothes;

He Yitang didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, but he felt that he shouldn't accept this generous gift;

Mu Haitang saw her dilemma and tried to comfort her: "Clothes make the man. I said you are a young lady who studied abroad. You have to look good to scare those people. Yitang, we are friends. It's just a piece of clothing. It's nothing."

Because of his mother's illness, He Yitang hadn't bought new clothes for a long time. He stroked the cloth in his hand and said sadly: "Haitang, I really can't repay you for helping me like this."

Mu Haitang held her hand and said, "Yitang, I envy you very much. I have never been to school and was sold to a master by my father when I was young. I am very happy that you don't mind my identity and make friends with me."

Having said that, if He Yitang continued to refuse, it would be a bit ungrateful. He accepted the gift and remembered the favor.

The next day she went to see Miss Jin. Unexpectedly, Miss Jin, who was very young, was a pretty lady. Seeing that she was pretty, she immediately agreed to keep her as her husband.

Although He Yitang was helpless, he liked her sincerity and taught her more attentively;

Miss Jin was afraid that if she did not make any progress in school, He Yitang would be driven away by Mr. Jin, so she studied hard. In addition, she was smart. He Yitang only taught her for half a year, and many people who came to the mansion said that Miss Jin had become more obedient.

With the help of Mr. Jin, He Yitang's life became a little more comfortable. Mr. Jin was generous, and Mrs. Jin treated Miss Jin more kindly because of her great change. She also gave her generous gifts during festivals.

When Miss Jin was fourteen years old, she arranged a marriage in Suzhou;

He Yitang thought that this job was over and was getting anxious, but Mrs. Jin comforted her and said that there were many rules for marriage on both sides, and it would take at least two years to complete the formalities, so she just needed to continue teaching Miss Jin at home.

Life got better, his mother's illness got better, He Yitang's burden was lighter, and he was finally able to take out the two big boxes of books that his father had packed and dry them out in the sun.

The garden was filled with books. He Yitang sat on a recliner to rest, with a round fan on his face, shielding him from the fallen leaves and the sun.

Suddenly I felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a hand blocking my eyes. It was Gu Chaosheng who had returned.

He Yitang picked up his round fan and stood up to put away the books. Gu Chaosheng rolled up his sleeves to help. By the time they had put away all the books, it was getting dark.

"Thank you very much";

"Yitang, are you still angry with me?"

He Yitang tucked a strand of fallen hair behind her ear and said, "Let me ask you, have you forgotten our wedding date? Didn't you receive the letter I wrote to you?"

"I haven't forgotten. I received the letter," Gu Chaosheng answered straightforwardly.

He Yitang wanted to laugh when he heard this, but the most difficult time had passed. Two years had passed, and no matter how much sadness and grievance he had, he had already digested it.

"Yitang, we have been engaged for a long time, you know that, I have already decided that you are my wife, at that time, I really couldn't give up everything and come back, you and I will get married sooner or later, what difference does it make if it's earlier or later";

"But if I had missed Mr. Guo's class, I would have lost this opportunity. Now that I have completed my studies, the wedding can be held at any time. As long as you forgive me, I will do anything for you."
