Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chen Chang is not a fuel-efficient person. He was put in a position by Gu Du for no reason, so he naturally wants to make up for it.

"Mr. Gu Lang, I didn't expect that you are very young and know all these things very well. Compared with you, I feel very ashamed."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Gu Du didn't react for a moment. After he figured it out, his cheeks turned red, "You..."

"What I mean is that the young man is chivalrous and kind-hearted. He detects the enemy's situation, plans to rescue people, dares to take risks, and does things that we men can't even think about and can't do."

Gu Du plucked the hair on his temples and said in a low voice: "You are a smooth-tongued person who can coax people with your sweet words. No wonder Miss Lou fell into your hands?"

She didn't notice at all that her behavior was very feminine. As long as she wasn't blind, everyone would know she was a woman. In addition, she didn't notice that Chen Chang was saying that he was a real man, which meant that she

Of course not.

Chen Chang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her daughter's family style suddenly revealed. Gu Du glanced at him and said without realizing it: "What are you looking at?"

Chen Chang quickly looked away and said: "It's nothing. By the way, I never know the situation at your home. Why are you wandering around alone at such a young age?"

It's better not to say this. Gu Du's eyes turned red when he mentioned it, and he said weakly: "What's there to say about my home? I left home when I was very young and haven't been back for many years... Oh, don't say it.

This is it."

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Chen Chang was a little reluctant.

Gu Du nodded, but still couldn't avoid the topic, so he had to say: "There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters. I have seven brothers and a lot of sisters. The population is larger, but I am the youngest."

Chen Chang knew that families in this era usually had many children, which was not surprising. Based on Gu Du's emotional changes just now, he thought: His family must be poor and unable to feed so many children, so his parents gave him up for adoption.

, she left her hometown at a young age and wandered around, but she was also a pitiful person.

Gu Du glanced at him sideways, alert in his heart, and asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Only then did she realize that she was a woman disguised as a man. The other party might have known about it for a long time, but she could not admit it anyway, let alone admit that the person in the Taoist hot spring that day was her, otherwise she would not be able to see anyone face to face in the future.

?

"It's nothing, I just think you're pretty, almost more than me!"

"You..." Gu Du's face turned red with anger at his answer, "You are shameless!"

Chen Chang deliberately teased her: "What's wrong, you're not a woman, why do you care about comparing your looks with others?"

"When did I compare looks with you?" Gu Du pouted. She has always been competitive and unwilling to admit defeat. "I'm just stating the facts and correcting you by the way, so that you don't have self-awareness!"<

/p>

Chen Chang smiled faintly: "That's it. I used to know a woman who looks very similar to you!"

When Gu Du heard this, his cheeks burned, and his expression immediately became tense. Thinking about what happened in the Taoist temple, he felt ashamed. How could he let the other party tell him face to face? Wouldn't it cost him his life?

This guy Chen Chang must have had bad intentions and deliberately tested her. She absolutely couldn't show her weakness in front of him. So, she made up her mind to fight him to death!

The next moment, Gu Du's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a bit of vigilance: "There are many people who look alike in the world, which is not surprising. I have seen people who look very similar to you, but

That man is a complete gangster and bully, bullying men and women, preying on the common people, and does all kinds of evil..."

Chen Chang hates the cold. This is the image of herself in her heart. Isn't it too unbearable?

"I'm just talking about the image. That woman is a knitting girl, good at cooking and housework, and is proficient in everything. Her temperament... is also very gentle, well-informed and courteous, and has a virtuous temperament. She never leaves the house, nor does she leave the house..."

p>

"Since she can't go out or take a step forward, how did you see her, and how did you know that we two are very similar?" Gu Du's eyes showed a bit of cunning.

"Uh..." Chen Chang originally wanted to find out the details of this little girl, but the other party was very vigilant, always talking about him, and refused to reveal anything at all, so he had to say: "Although she doesn't leave the house.

, but I have heard other people say that for such a good woman, the matchmaker has already crossed the threshold of their family. After the matchmaker’s promotion, who doesn’t know that this woman is good?”

When it comes to deceiving people, Chen Chang is also a professional. Although this little girl is cunning, she is not a match for him.

Gu Du's face darkened and he said: "Does it mean that a beautiful and virtuous woman is good? In this troubled world, no matter how beautiful or virtuous she is, she will inevitably become dependent on others and eventually become a plaything of men. Just say

Pan Yu'er and Xu Zhaopei, who are not the most beautiful people in the country, but what is their fate in the end? They are worse than country women? Can such beautiful appearance bring them happiness in the end? What is the meaning of their lives?

”

"Huh?" Chen Chang was surprised. He had never heard of the names of the two women, Pan Yuer and Xu Zhaopei.

Gu Du snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You don't even know Pan Yuer or Xu Zhaopei, and you still think you are some romantic gentleman. It's really ridiculous!"

"I'd like to hear some advice!" Chen Chang wasn't angry, but the more Gu Du spoke, the more information he revealed. A man can bend and stretch, so it doesn't matter if he gets a few looks from this little girl.

Gu Du saw that he was sincere and seemed to be sincerely asking for advice. His face softened slightly and he said slowly: "Pan Yu'er is also called Pan Yunu, whose real name is Yu Nizi. He was originally the musician of the great Sima Wang Jingze. Later, Pan Yuer was killed by Xiao Bao

Juan was brought into the palace and won the favor of Xiao Baojuan. In the first year of Yongtai, after Xiao Baojuan succeeded to the throne, he brought Pan Yu'er into the palace and named her a noble concubine. She was favored by Xiao Baojuan. Xiao Baojuan was hanged by Xiao Yan after his death.

In prison."

Chen Chang nodded: "Well, although you are a noble concubine and she is deeply favored, it is a pity that she did not die a good death. It is a pity..."

In feudal society, women's social status was extremely low. Especially after the Song Dynasty, it may be that the rise of women's status in the prosperous Tang Dynasty left a "shadow" for later dynasties, which is related to the Neo-Confucian thought of "preserving natural principles and destroying human desires" advocated by the society at that time.

This is closely related to the fact that society has more and more demands on women. Therefore, another product of male superiority and female inferiority, foot binding, emerged in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chen Chang also read Red Mansions. In ancient times, a man who was a legitimate daughter had to marry a legitimate daughter, and concubines in ancient times were slaves in the family. Because Aunt Zhao was a concubine, even the actress Fangguan boldly said, "Meixiang worshipers are all slaves."

What Tanchun cares most about is his status as a concubine; concubines can even be sold at will, but Aunt Xue yelled at Xiangling, "Call someone to come and sell Xiangling."

These are all references to the status of women in the feudal era.

Now in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although the status of women is not as low as it was after entering the Song Dynasty, it is not much higher.

Gu Du added: "There is also Xu Zhaopei, the Grand Lieutenant of Qi in the Southern Dynasty, the granddaughter of Xu Xiaosi, Duke Wenzhong of Zhijiang, the daughter of General Xinwu Xu Cui, the official wife of Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan. In the 16th year of Tianjian's reign, she married Xiao Yi, King of Eastern Hunan.

She became the Princess of Eastern Hunan. After marriage, she gave birth to Xiao Yi's son, Zhongzhuang Crown Prince Xiao Fang et al., and his daughter, Princess Yichang Xiao Hanzhen.

Later, Xiao Yi's beloved concubine Wang died, and Xiao Yi blamed Concubine Xu for Wang's death. In the third year of Taiqing, Xiao Fang et al. died, and Emperor Liang Yuan hated Xu Zhaopei even more, so he forced her to commit suicide. Xu Zhaopei knew that he would not be spared, so he surrendered.

Died by a well.

Do you think this kind of woman is pitiable?"

"Of course it's pitiful!" This was the first time Chen Chang heard that the wife of Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan died in this way. This made him think about the possibility of new Li Sanlang and Yuhuan in the future. Sometimes men are like this, even though it was him.

Mistakes are made, but the blame must be placed squarely on women.

Unexpectedly, Gu Du is a feminist despite his young age.

"So, women must love themselves, and more importantly, strengthen themselves, otherwise they can only be the vassals of men..." When she was in a state of emotion, she said a lot of words. It was not until the end that she realized that she was suspected of being rude, and she felt guilty.

Take a few glances at Chen Chang.

Chen Chang did not expose her identity, resisting the urge to laugh out loud, and said seriously: "Well, if Mr. Gu Xiaolang gets married in the future, he will definitely be very good to his wife. I am really looking forward to it.

Which family's girl is so lucky to marry you?"

Gu Duzhi said: "This... of course it hasn't happened yet..."

"When you get married, don't forget to inform me. I want to ask for a wedding drink."

"That's natural!" Gu Du's tone showed a little guilt.

Getting married?

She has never thought about this kind of thing. Although she also knows that women will eventually get married, this kind of thing is too far away for her.

The eldest sister, the fourth sister, and the seventh sister are all married. The fourth brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law are also young and promising, not to mention the eldest brother-in-law, but will they really be happy?

Gu Du looked at the sky in the distance, his thoughts floating in the sky.

The images of these sisters have gradually become blurred in her memory. They were too young when they left home.

She still couldn't figure out why her parents sent her away when she was only five years old. It wasn't until one day when she was going down the mountain and overheard the bad news that her father was forced to commit suicide at home by the powerful people of the day that she understood.

Perhaps my father had known this day would come.

She didn't know how her brothers and sisters felt when they faced the death of their father. Anyway, she didn't feel too much sadness. It wasn't because she had no feelings for her parents. It was actually a bit vague at first.

The memory is diluted little by little by time. I only remember that I once giggled in my father's arms, but I can no longer remember my father's appearance.

Chen Chang saw that Gu Du was in a low mood and knew that she must have remembered something sad, so he became more and more curious about what kind of experience this little girl with a strong appearance and a weak heart had experienced.

When Gu Du saw Chen Chang looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and said hurriedly: "Chen Langjun, you must treat Miss Lou as a treasure, right?"

"This..." Chen Chang really didn't know how to answer.

The relationship between you and Lou Qingyi is just a spirit of contract. As for feelings, it seems that there is no relationship yet.

When I came to this era, the first people I met were two women, Wang Huan and Shui Ling'er, and they both went through hardships together. Naturally, I didn't dare to think anything wrong about Wang Huan, but my relationship with Shui Ling'er was different.

It’s love between two people.

Gu Du snorted coldly: "Actually, I have seen it a long time ago. You and Miss Lou are basically the same person. The person you like is not her, and the person she loves is not you."

Chen Chang admitted that this was true, but to say it from Gu Du's mouth was somewhat unacceptable.

He had an engagement with Lou Qingyi before him, and started a relationship with Shui Ling'er later, but now he feels that he owes both women:

Lou Qingyi has a reputation but no status. Even if the contract expires, the two of them can break up. But how will Lou Qingyi live his life in the future? After all, she is a married woman, and she will probably delay her life.<

/p>

Shui Ling'er has no name. Now that I can't even give her a place to live, how can I talk about the future?

The car drove into the city and soon arrived at the house purchased by Lou Qingyi. Lou's mother had long wanted to report that her daughter was back safely. She and her family were waiting at the concierge with a lantern. Lou Qingyi got out of the car, and the mother and daughter naturally cried each other.

One game.

Chen Chang made arrangements for Gudu, Hei Wa and others. When Wang Huan saw that everything was arranged, she said goodbye to Lou Qingyi and Chen Chang. She had not been home for many days, and her parents missed her very much.

Chen Chang personally sent him to the gate. When leaving, Chen Chang crossed his hands and bowed to the ground. Wang Huan had saved his life several times. This time, in order to find Lou Qingyi's whereabouts, she made great efforts.

Chen Chang is very grateful for all this and remembers it in his heart.

Wang Huan pulled the reins of the horse and said: "Chen Langjun, there is no need to be like this. Qingyi and I have been friends for many years, and these are what I should do. It is getting late, and you are also tired from the journey. Go back and rest early. Say goodbye.

!"

After saying that, he got on his horse and drove away.

Chen Chang knew very well that he had unknowingly offended someone again. Qingyi wouldn't let him get in the car all the way upstairs, so he kept chatting with Gu Du. In Wang Huan's eyes, all this was obviously a trick.

Trouble.

He sighed softly, who could know the pain in his heart?

This little girl Gu Du is very mysterious. Naturally, I have to find out her true identity. How can I get the truth without getting close to her?

Through the abduction of Lou Qingyi, Chen Chang realized deeply that in order to gain a foothold in this troubled world, he must develop his own power as soon as possible.

Although Guanshi Lu, Lu Jiang, and An Daoming are dead, the forces hidden behind them have not yet surfaced. It is difficult to say that the Lou family will not encounter such a thing again in the future.

At night, Xiao Yu'er didn't sleep outside Chen Chang's room. Instead, she ran to Lou Qingyi's room, where the master and servant talked about themselves most of the night.

That night, Chen Chang slept very soundly. After getting up in the morning, he felt that his limbs were all refreshed. After breakfast, an old family member from Loufu arrived. After saluting, he said: "Uncle, the old lady invites you!"<

/p>

"Huh?" Chen Chang didn't expect Lou Yu to be so anxious to see him.
