There have been two strange stories recently among the ladies in the capital.
One is that Gu Zhibai, the "unlucky nine marriages" who killed the princess and had her engagement canceled nine times, was actually divorced again. The tenth time.
Second, a new salt shop opened in the south of the city. The shopkeeper is a merchant girl, whose surname is Ning and her given name is Wu. She comes from Yangzhou. On her first day in Beijing, this woman did something that caused a sensation in the capital—
She spent three thousand taels of silver to buy the house next door to Gu Yunshen.
"Are you crazy?" Someone in the teahouse smashed a teacup, "That house is evil, whoever lives in it will be unlucky!"
"The crazier thing is at the back." The storyteller waved his fan and lowered his voice, "The shopkeeper Ning asked someone to go to the Gu Mansion to propose marriage."
The whole place was silent for three seconds, and then burst into loud laughter.
"A merchant's wife is a perfect match despite the fact that her wife's life is limited!"
"Just wait, within a month, shopkeeper Na Ning will either run away or die."
Three months later, those who were waiting to see the joke could no longer laugh when they saw the merchant fleet arriving from the Western Regions directly to the dock, or when Gu Zhibai put on Shen Wu's shoes in public.
Concept: A man whose engagement has been broken off eleven times, and a businesswoman who is ridiculed by the whole city, are all using "unbearable" as armor - he is pretending to be crazy and stupid to avoid the edge, and she is covered in blood and hatred. It wasn't until I met each other that I discovered: The hardest thing in the world is not to put on the mask, but to have someone worth taking off. Real strength is the courage to take off the disguise
