<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >. Flowing in the wind and dust, a sister of the Qinglou</h1>
In 1877, Lin Guisheng was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, a picturesque city. Gu Su's water and scenery set her off exceptionally brightly. She has a flamboyant personality, is not good at reading, her father is a businessman, the family is quite rich, and there is no need to worry about livelihood.
Lin Guisheng was the youngest in the family, and she was clever at a young age, and her parents pampered her. Although she is not interested in reading and her cultural level is not high, this does not mean that she is stupid, on the contrary, under the subtle influence of her business parents, she is very intelligent, independent in thought, and has her own ideas.
The so-called male eldest should be married, and the female eldest should be married. Lin Guisheng gradually came out into a beautiful and moving girl under the care of her parents, and her marriage naturally became the most concerned thing for her parents. They are in a turbulent old society, and the idea that children's marriages listen to their parents is deeply rooted in their minds.
When Lin Guisheng was nineteen years old, her parents arranged a blind date for her, and the arrogant Lin Guisheng did not have the intention of having a love for the man, so he resolutely rejected the marriage that his parents were satisfied with. In order to avoid the marriage arranged by her family, she ignored her parents' objections and came to Shanghai alone to work hard. Her legendary life began.
The young Lin Guisheng has a good appearance and a witty mind, which are very helpful for survival in the chaotic world, and she soon gained a foothold in old Shanghai. On weekdays, she mixed in the black and white roads of Shanghai, and with a business acumen, she accumulated a lot of capital and opened a brothel in Shanghai, where women who had fallen into the dust followed Lin Guisheng to survive.
Although the brothel is not elegant, Lin Guisheng gave it a poetic name - "Fireworks Room", such a place to find flowers and ask for willows, which has become the source of Lin Guisheng's fortune.
Although such a place is not tolerated by law and morality, in the era of social unrest and people's uneasiness, survival is the only law that the people believe in. People who come to such a dusty place are either rich or noble, and Lin Guisheng is articulate and well-communicated, so he has met many high-ranking officials and nobles.
Lin Guisheng's business was getting better and better, and she began to recruit protégés. She clearly understood that accumulating her own power was the long-term solution, and she did not have to seek refuge from others, and she could be proud of herself.
Soon, Lin Guisheng gathered many disciples in a short period of time, becoming a popular "A Gui sister" in Shanghai, although she was only a 24-year-old girl, she could be regarded as a big person with a façade on the beach.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16"> ii. Fall into the love field, a little affection</h1>
Lin Guisheng has a strong personality, sees through all kinds of men, and thought that he would not easily fall in love, until he met Jin Rong, a man who had a long entanglement with her.
The day Lin Guisheng met Jin Rong was in his own real estate. The bright and moving Lin Guisheng and Jin Rong fell in love at first sight. Lin Guisheng thought at that time that this may be the right person, he did not think that she was mixed up in the wind and dust, understood her heart, knew that she was not easy, which was a rare comfort for Lin Guisheng, who had always been strong.
Like thousands of women in the world, Lin Guisheng also has an infinite vision of love, and she and the man in front of her are in love. They exchanged heartfelt words, made a vow of friendship, and put each other high in their hearts. Jin Rong is nine years older than her, and although her ancestral home is in Yuyao, Zhejiang, she was born in Suzhou like Lin Guisheng and grew up in Suzhou.
Like Lin Guisheng, Jin Rong was not interested in reading, and his family had to let him develop freely. In his early years, he worked as an apprentice in a painting shop in Shanghai to seek a livelihood, and in 1892 he worked as a patrol in the French Concession patrol house in Shanghai, and although he was later promoted to inspector general, his life was like a bastard, although he did not worry about eating and wearing, he was not willing to do so with his ambitions.
Meeting Lin Guisheng was a turning point in Jin Rong's life. When he first saw the owner of the land of fireworks, he was touched by the ease and wantonness revealed by her and the weakness and charm that belonged only to the women of Suzhou, and at this time, Lin Guisheng was also moved by him who was quite arrogant.
In Lin Guisheng's eyes, although Jin Rong is just an ordinary small patrol, Lin Guisheng, who has a wide range of contacts and insight, feels that with her support, Jin Rong will be able to make a big difference.
For Jin Jinrong, Lin Guisheng is rich and powerful, with a superior posture, and is an impeccable companion for a worldly man like him. They soon fell in love, Lin Guisheng's father thought that the man he met in the land of fireworks was unreliable, lin Guisheng still ignored the discouragement to enter the besieged city of marriage after half a year of acquaintance with Jin Rong.
At that time, they really loved each other, but this kind of marriage based on interests meant that love was just the icing on the cake of marriage, and it could not last long. People are living in the present, and what they see is only in front of them, for Lin Guisheng, as long as she loves Jin Rong at that time, she is righteous.
After getting married, Lin Guisheng did not hesitate to resell the profitable "fireworks room" to others, and moved to Sixteen Shop with her husband, sixteen shops seemed to be a place left behind by the old Shanghai, no one governed, no one noticed, Lin Guisheng was a woman with business acumen, in her opinion, sixteen shops is a good place to carry out black trade, which is conducive to her rapid comeback.
If you want to open a black trade in the sixteen shops, manpower is indispensable, so Lin Guisheng did not hesitate to promise a lot of money to recruit disciples, and the talents of black and white have gathered under lin Guisheng's door, which is the prototype of the modern Shanghai Youth Gang.
Lin Guisheng has money, and has accumulated a lot of contacts, her husband is also a patrol policeman in the French Concession, he can clear many obstacles, the time to carry out black business has been available, a group of them are selling drugs, prostituting gambling, but also kidnapping tickets for extortion, smuggling arms, it can be said that they do everything they can, and they can't do it.
Lin Guisheng and Jin Jinrong can also be regarded as smelly, these deeds are placed in today's society everything is a catastrophe that invites the disaster of imprisonment, but quickly accumulated capital for them at that time, not to mention Lin Guisheng is good at management, but also knows how to employ people, and the rise of Du Yuesheng in the back is indispensable to Lin Guisheng's promotion. Lin Guisheng gradually became one of the best gangster leaders in Shanghai Beach.
Lin Guisheng is strong, this strength is better than many men in the world, but she is a woman after all, a woman Who is soft, after meeting Jin Rong, her love makes her often tender like water. Seeing that the Green Gang gradually stabilized, she wanted to retreat into the background and hand over this "world" to her husband to work hard.
Whether it is in the past or now, love is easy to make women humble, Lin Guisheng loves Jin Rong, she is willing to let him become a brilliant big man in front of a person, willing to help him reach the top, and she herself is willing to be an ordinary wife who silently supports her husband behind her back.
Lin Guisheng handed over the Qing gang to her husband to take care of, the only requirement for Jin Rong is not to take concubines, perhaps she herself understands that men are originally people with thin feelings, but as long as they do not take concubines, Lin Guisheng can think that the only person jin Rong loves is her.
In this way, Jin JinRong became the leader of the Qing Gang, Lin Guisheng was still an important figure in the Qing Gang, at that time they could be described as husbands and wives, and Jin Jin Rong was also grateful to Lin Guisheng and obedient.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33">3. See through the world, be alone</h1>
It is said that the chai rice oil and salt in life are easy to destroy a love, many times even if there is no such thing, love is easy to dissipate, love is a short thing, short-term beauty can not be sought. With the passage of time, Lin Guisheng's beauty gradually lost to the years, and the feelings between the husband and wife gradually withered.
Jin Rong gradually became bored with the powerful Lin Guisheng, who had money and power at that time, and his desires were constantly expanding, and he was no longer the man who needed his wife to support him.
And Lin Guisheng is not obedient to Jin Rong, if it were not for Lin Guisheng's request for Jin Rong to go to the rich man's house to propose to Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng would not have a casino, and there would be no later golden years, sitting on an equal footing with Jin Rong, and calling the wind and rain together on the beach.
Jin Rong liked the tenderness and brilliance of Lin Guisheng at that time, not her old age and decline and fierceness. He thought that after he developed, he could also have unlimited scenery without Lin Guisheng, and he who once put his wife in the high place in his heart had long gone with time.
More than half a hundred years old, Jin Rong, like many years ago, was obsessed with wind and dust, lingering in the land of fireworks, and could not help but fall in love with other women. He was intoxicated with the young girls' dance skirts and obsessed with the beautiful skin bags of the dusty women.
"The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the country, and the river still sings the backyard flowers" probably refers to a woman like Lu Lanchun, who is feminine and colorful, and her style is unique, which is a famous drama on the beach, and her charm makes many men on the beach intoxicated for her.
Jin Rong is one of these many men, he is fascinated by Lu Lanchun, and even wants to marry Lu Lanchun despite the fact that there is still a wife in the family. Lin Guisheng knew that her husband was cheating on others, and at first she just blindly tolerated it, and even helped Jin Rong clean up the mess she had committed because of Lu Lanchun.
Lu Lanchun is a very scheming woman, Jin Jinrong is a well-known figure in Shanghai Beach, Lin Guisheng is his wife, she will not know, she knows that if she marries Jin Rong as a concubine, she will inevitably be unable to fight this fierce and skillful Lady Zheng in the Huang Mansion, so she has a wishful calculation in her heart.
Jin Rong was quite determined to marry Lu Lanchun, and Lu Lanchun made a request that if she wanted to marry her, she would be the wife of the main room, and after marriage, she would take over the family's finances and take charge of the keys in the house. This means that if Jin Rong wants to marry Lu Lanchun, he must first divorce his wife Lin Guisheng or let Lin Guisheng be a concubine.
The Golden Rong Ghost mysteriously agreed to Lu Lanchun's request, and when he returned home, he confessed everything to Lin Guisheng, that resolute look, completely forgetting the wind and snow moon that the two of them had once made, and the sea oath they had made.
Lin Guisheng is a woman who dares to love and dare to hate, although her heart is painful, she understands that Jin Rong no longer loves herself, and her tolerance has not been exchanged for her husband's moderation, only to intensify.
Since the love has dissipated, her pride and fierceness will not allow herself to become a concubine, and divorce has become the only way between them. Over the years, she has seen this man and woman shuttle through the crowded streets, the wind and dust and desire have always filled the streets and alleys of Shanghai Beach, her heart has long been transparent, and gains and losses have long ceased to matter.
Lin Guisheng resolutely chose divorce. They have been married for many years, but they have no children. When she left the Huang Mansion, she only took 50,000 yuan and went to Shanghai Seymour to live alone. After half a life of intrigue and fame and profit, this time, she chose to walk out of the world.
She let go of the past and lived her life in a dashing way. On the other hand, Jin Rong, Lu Lanchun took a lot of money with a young talent shortly after marrying Jin Rong, and Jin Rong ended up with a fate of two people's wealth and not worth the loss.
People always know how to cherish after they have lost, and the past will never come back. Jin Rong realized that only Lin Guisheng in the world had truly loved him, and the others were all hypocritical and hypocritical based on money and power.
Just wait until you understand, it's too late. Later, leaving Lin Guisheng's reputation of Jin Rong fell, his career was not as good as before, the situation was difficult to control, he once found Lin Guisheng to return to the Huang Mansion to preside over the overall situation, no matter how Jin Rong pleaded, Lin Guisheng did not return to the so-called home.
Jin Rong did not show much guilt, he was cold in nature, and since everything could not go back, he also continued to live the decadent life of a drunken gold fan with peace of mind.
Lin Guisheng is a person who can afford to take and put down, after the divorce, she did not hear anything out of the window, ate and prayed to the Buddha, forgot the red dust, no longer participated in the fight on the beach, and no longer asked what kind of life Jin Rong lived after the divorce, once loved vigorously, and now it is also a fact to put it down indifferently.
In this way, she lived a decades of self-cultivation and leisure in an inconspicuous corner of Shanghai Beach, becoming a centenarian, and finally died at the age of 104.
