Today, she also came here with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wanshuang actually treated them like other guests.

This is a treatment they have never had before...

Gu Wanshuang smiled at her, and said: "Since this is the case, you are welcome to come again next time. By the way, there is also a barbecue restaurant. You can also try it."

Mei Leling took a deep look at her, then left with a few girls.

After they left, Aunt Yu said to Gu Wanshuang: "Speaking of which, Boss Mei is also a hard-working person."

"Aunt Yu, do you know about her past?" Gu Wanshuang asked in surprise.

"I also heard about it when I was chatting with my neighbors." Aunt Yu said, "I heard that she is not from our place, but from another place. She was originally a lady from a scholarly family, but when her father went to other places to discuss business , met a robber on the road and was killed. Her uncle bullied them and her mother and daughter were helpless, seized the family property, and drove them out of the house. Her mother couldn't bear it, so she jumped into the river. I caught it and sold it to a brothel in our town."

Although Gu Wanshuang and Mei Leling only met today, but at the moment she still sympathizes with Mei Leling's experience.

"I heard that when she first arrived in the brothel, she was beaten a lot for refusing to receive customers. Later, she gradually became the confidant of the old bustard at that time. I think she must have given in. The first two days The old bustard died of illness, and the brothel was handed over to her."

"If it wasn't for the sudden change in the family, she might have married a good man and have a child of her own." Gu Wanshuang sighed.

"Who says it's not? Destiny is impermanent."

……

What Gu Wanshuang didn't expect was that the next day, Mei Leling sent someone to the hotpot restaurant and gave her a gift.

"Our Boss Mei said that this is a thank you gift for you." It was a boy from Chunbi Building who came, and he was very polite to Gu Wanshuang, "Boss Gu, please don't dislike him."

"Why? Thank your boss for your kindness for me." Gu Wanshuang smiled, "Please ask her to come to my restaurant to eat again at any time, and I will give her a discount."

"Okay! Then I'll go first."

After the boy left, Gu Wanshuang took a look at the gift he sent.

It's a long box.

She opened it and saw a painting inside.

Gu Wanshuang unfolded it curiously, and suddenly stopped.

The painting is a pair of red plums. The author of this painting should have excellent painting skills. The red plums are lifelike, as if they really bloomed in front of Gu Wanshuang's eyes.

And the inscription below is the word "Le Ling".

Wait, is this drawn by Mei Leling?

How good is she at drawing?

Gu Wanshuang suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

She wanted Mei Leling to be her boss' painting master!

Since she saw the boss's painting last time, she felt that the child was talented in painting, and she kept asking people around to find out if there was a good painting master, but in the end, there was no result.

There is no master who can teach people to paint in their town, but there are some in other places, but they don't want to come to them, the boss is young, so she is not at ease to send them to other places.

Now, isn't Mei Leling a ready-made master?

Although she is now the boss of the brothel, she was also the young lady of a scholarly family before, but she was forced to live in prostitution.

The more Gu Wanshuang thought about it, the more excited she became, and she immediately planned to go to Chunbi Tower to discuss this matter with Mei Leling.

Seeing that she was going out, Aunt Yu asked, "Wan Shuang, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Chunbi Tower. I have something to do with Boss Mei."

"Are you going to Chunbi Building?" Aunt Yu's expression changed, and she quickly pulled her aside, "Are you crazy? You are a woman from a good family, and you are the mother of five children. If you go to Chunbi Building, Let people see it, but I don’t know how many gossips will be spread!”

Gu Wanshuang thought so too.

Although she knew what she was going to do, there was no guarantee that someone with a heart would spread rumors.

She wasn't afraid, she just found it troublesome.

And it might affect the kids too.

"It makes sense, Aunt Yu. Fortunately, you reminded me."

Gu Wanshuang found a buddy and asked him to deliver a letter to Chunbilou, and asked Boss Mei to come to the hot pot restaurant when she was free, she had something important to discuss.

Mei Leling came at night.

She was still wearing a red cloak, but the embroidery had changed.

Gu Wanshuang specially prepared a private room on the second floor to entertain her, and made people serve hot pot again.

"Boss Gu, I didn't expect you to invite me over." Mei Leling smiled, "Could it be that you really like my painting?"

"That painting is really beautiful, Boss Mei, I think it's your name, so it should be drawn by you, right?"

Mei Leling nodded, and said: "It's me. Although it's not a famous painting, it's still my work. Otherwise, I wouldn't let someone give it to Boss Gu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wanshuang suddenly held her hand excitedly, which startled her.

"Boss Gu, you are..."

"Boss Mei, please be my son's master!"

"What...Master?" Mei Leling was dazed for a long while before recovering.

For someone like her, Gu Wanshuang actually asked her to be her son's master?

"That's right! I've seen my eldest son's paintings before, and I think he is very talented, and he is also very interested in painting, so I have been looking for someone to teach him, but I have never found a suitable one."

Mei Leling stared at her blankly: "But, are you looking for me? I'm from Chunbilou, don't you know?"

"So what? To be honest, Boss Mei, I have heard a little bit about your past experience. I know you were forced to live in prostitution." Gu Wanshuang said, "Besides, I seem to have a different vision for myself. Confident, I believe you, will be a good master."

Mei Leling was so moved by her that she drank three cups in a row to show her respect.

"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would still meet someone who appreciates me so much! Don't say anything, please make me your son's master!"

"Okay!" Gu Wanshuang was also very happy, "Then you will go to Wenfu tomorrow, and it happens that the academy is on holiday tomorrow, so I will ask him to worship you as his teacher!"

"What tomorrow? Go in a while!"

The two had a quick meal of hot pot, and then Mei Leling and Gu Wanshuang came to Wenfu.

On the way, Gu Wanshuang also learned about what happened after Mei Leling went to the brothel.

It turned out that Mei Leling did suffer a lot because she refused to accept customers.

Later, she fell ill and almost died. The madam relented and ordered her to be cured.

But the old bustard also wanted to make money, and after she recovered from her illness, she began to force her to receive guests. Fortunately, Mei Leling was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she finally persuaded the old bustard to let her perform as a performer instead of selling herself.

She did attract a lot of customers just by playing the piano, and her paintings also sold a lot of money, so the old bustard finally agreed, and even treated her very well, and then because of her ability , gave Chunbi Building to her before she died.
