I am not Ximen Qing.

Chapter 348 I truly admire the crab's ruthlessness, its willingness to risk its life for money.

What is a woman's nature? In the Bible, in the Garden of Eden, God defined a woman's nature as being born from a man's rib, but the woman's mind and soul were also with the serpent. She would tempt the man to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, and then they would discover the truth of love and affection between them—this is a woman's nature.

A woman's nature is to devour a man's soul; it's a woman's inherent nature! What kind of women were Ximen Qing's in *Jin Ping Mei*? Ximen Qing's wives and concubines were symbolic: Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, Meng Yulou, Wu Yueniang, Li Jiao'er, and Sun Xue'e. These were Ximen Qing's wives and concubines. He also had a large group of servants, maids, and wives. Ximen Qing lived in this world of romance and pleasure. His life consisted of maneuvering between different women's loves and affections. His life was all about being dashing and debonair. Throughout *Jin Ping Mei*, Ximen Qing was constantly navigating the love and affections of different women, relentlessly pursuing his romantic and happy life. Deep down, Ximen Qing possessed a heroic ambition to carry love to the very end! Pan Jinlian's desires were intense, like a volcano always on the verge of eruption. However, she also possessed an intuition for men, a sixth sense she had about Ximen Qing. It seems all women have this sixth sense about their men; it's a kind of mystical understanding. In the era of Southern Fist, the women in *Jin Ping Mei* used passive methods to change and transform Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing had very high emotional intelligence; in *Jin Ping Mei*, his affection for his nephews was quite humane. Yes, Wu Yueniang's second and eldest uncles, Wu Er and Wu Da, took care of her in every aspect of life and work. Very, very meticulous, which aligns with Chinese cultural traditions, particularly the concept of siblings. Ah, "When one attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." After Yang Yuhuan gained favor, her brothers immediately became high-ranking officials in the court, whether it was Wang Anshi, Su Dongping, or Su Dongpo. Whether in the Tang or Song dynasties, nepotism was acceptable both in and out of the imperial court; it was permissible. In fact, the art of life in *Jin Ping Mei* lies in Ximen Qing's human touch; he was more humane than anyone else. The logic of Ximen Qing's story is quite interesting. At the beginning, the encounter between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing immediately brought the story to its climax, but then Ximen Qing became increasingly humane, as if he were a wealthy man who understood human relationships perfectly, a wealthy man who was utterly lustful. In particular, the insults Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei inflicted on Shen Erjie were so egregious that even Wu Yueniang couldn't bear to watch, leading to a serious conflict with them. This foreshadowed the tragedies of Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei. However, Ximen Qing's excessive behavior towards Pang Chunmei and Pan Jinlian was almost entirely ignored; even Wu Yueniang was powerless against them, demonstrating Ximen Qing's excessive favor towards them. Yet, Pan Jinlian's fate ultimately remained in the hands of Wu Yueniang and Wang Po. This is Pan Jinlian's tragedy. Women often unleash this nature of Pan Jinlian to seduce men, and then use this same nature to control them. Any woman will eventually become like Wu Yueniang, controlling men in the same way. Ximen Qing's soul and the power of life and death became part of a woman's world. This seems like a tradition in Chinese culture, but it isn't truly a tradition. Because of the matriarchal nature of human society, the four matriarchal societies are the origin of humankind, and the British royal family uses queens. However, Li Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty are two extremes. Love Girl gradually understands Song Yu and sees through some of his human weaknesses. The art of Jin Ping Mei expresses a common theme: women can tolerate men's infidelity, but they cannot tolerate betrayal! She carefully observes this big boy, this womanizer, this self-proclaimed British gentleman. Dortian Gray is a guy with an ugly soul. This man is the first man Love Girl invested in, and the price she paid was considerable. He took away her first experience of love, not because she wanted to give it to him, but because Love Girl also needs to release her desires! Love Girl is also a cunning person because Love Girl's love has an expiration date. Once the expiration date is over, it will no longer arouse the curiosity of people like Song Yu. Love Girl understands her own value: youth and beauty. Fair and delicate skin—that's exactly the kind of allure men crave. Old Dog understands perfectly well that love has an expiration date; once it expires and loses its value, it's worthless. If you can't find a better one, life loses its meaning. A woman's value lies in learning to wait. Learning to "fish" for men—Love girls become like kittens in heat, ensnared by the curse of desire that no creature can escape. In the process of selecting and eliminating Love girls, Song Yu is undoubtedly the safest investment! Because Love girls are worldly-wise, they've seen scoundrels, rogues, and all sorts of shady characters. They can see through them. On the surface, Song Yu seems like a rogue, but he's just an empty shell. Once you hollow out his soul and mind, he becomes her new Dorgon, her new Hong Choucheng, conquering the world for her, creating wealth for her, even becoming her live-in son-in-law in Gao Village to till the fields—how wonderful! A woman's greatest skill is controlling a man, isn't it? Song Yu didn't know that the girl he was facing was a pure angel, but the pure angel he was facing was more cunning and treacherous than any of his ex-girlfriends had ever seen. He had dated too many women, had too many relationships, and had too many lovers. This was the inevitable choice of karma, and a love girl would always appear to punish him, making him experience the existence of painful karma in love. This was the reason why his obsessive-compulsive disorder about love was getting worse. He understood better how a pure angel could punish a scumbag who had dated too many women, and he would punish him in the name of a pure angel. This was very painful. This is also quite ruthless, which is why many older men would absolutely never touch a "Love Girl"—a girl who thinks she's a pure angel. Love is most afraid of girls with such strong ulterior motives, which can be very painful for older men who enjoy picking up girls. So, they generally choose to avoid "Love Girls." The kitten displayed the perfect, pure, and selfless charm of love and romance in front of Song Yu. It was so alluring—her youthful, rounded curves, her pink and tender skin, snow-white skin, and the mixed scent of lilies and roses. Youth is good; young girls exude a flower-like taste. All of "Love Girl's" behavior wasn't faked; youth is naturally vibrant. Right? He believed again that his future was full of sunshine. Song Yu thought he had met the summer flower of Eden. Haha, the probability was a million times harder than winning the lottery. Perhaps he'd been tormented by Shangguan Xifeng's obsessive-compulsive love lately, and his mind was a bit muddled; he needed something new. The energy of young girls made him feel comfortable and at ease. To cure Shangguan Xifeng's obsessive-compulsive disorder about love, Song Yu had to continue with new romances to heal the wounds in his heart. The beauty of girls could be slowly savored, like drinking spring tea from West Lake Longjing. It was like a sudden awakening, as if a gift had been given to him, making him feel much younger. Love was full of vitality and power, making him feel young again, with everything around him. The spring willows on Bai Causeway, the shallow grass and lotus flowers on Su Causeway, the green screen in Quyuan Garden swaying with the gentle lotus leaves, the hibiscus flowers blooming in the bushes—Song Yu saw Love Girl as a blooming wild rose and lily. He smelled the fragrance of blooming flowers filling the room, as well as trumpets, green vines, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, and the like. How imaginative! Love was like a flower, so Song Yu imagined Love Girl as the blooming of the flower of love and desire from all his past female lovers and girlfriends. How beautiful everything was! Beautiful eyes, pure and innocent, thoughts without evil—only love was hidden within, nothing else could occupy it. In the world of love, or rather, invading this private space of love, only love and affection embrace each other. In Love Paradise, drinking the best-tasting cocktails—cocktails that have a romantic effect—love girls enjoy this fantasy of pampering, exhausting their energy, and collapsing forward, to the bedside, wearing love masks.

Love Girl and Song Yu live together in what is perhaps the most convenient neighborhood in Beijing, surrounded by gourmet salons and cafes, elegant environments—absolutely essential. The key is that businesses here need genuine skill, uniqueness, and taste to stand out. Perhaps the rent alone defeats all opportunists and swindlers. The soul originates from thought and deliberate creation. To put it simply, everything stems from practice and exploration. I admire that company the most. For a time, Haidilao in China played the capital game. Even a steamed bun and pickled vegetable shop can go public, as long as it's listed. Then it has the right to issue currency. This is a metaphor for listed companies because the benefits are enormous. Once a company goes public, it issues a bunch of worthless junk stocks. Think of the distant savior, then look at Chu Liuxiang. I truly admire the ruthlessness of the crab in Chu Liuxiang's "The Great Era." The ruthless pursuit of money over life, there are only two industries worth studying for a lifetime: insurance and the stock market. However, these are the industries that Buffett excels in. Berkshire Hathaway is very good at the insurance industry. Munger and Buffett are great figures worthy of respect. God, of course, at this time, Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin was still relatively secretive, unlike other industries that were developing in a high-profile manner, but rather very secretly, developing within the circle. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various other virtual digital currencies around the world were constantly being born, but at this time they were still relatively low-key, quiet. Today's definition is more abstract than Einstein's theory of relativity, because love and marriage, which are integrated with human nature, are also like this. She was gradually integrating into Song Yu's circle, Gu Feng and Lie Long. Lie Long also lived nearby. Programmers in this era still had some opportunities, at least the opportunities to find girls were relatively greater than those in other professions. Gu Feng once went to a massage parlor and was spotted by a massage girl who secretly called him to say she wanted to get married, which scared Gu Feng so much that he never dared to go to a massage parlor again. Yang Wanli was furious after getting a massage and spa treatment. Why couldn't he ever have such a good thing happen to him?

No dog in the world is as promiscuous as Lennon. His main job is to mate with different Golden Retrievers to reproduce. Because Lennon's DNA is superior, he became the king of dogs. This promiscuous king of dogs is constantly looking for lovers, keeping Gu Feng and his girlfriend very busy. When he has free time, he takes Lie Long to blind dates and mating. And this dog is even more unruly, going for a run in Olympic Forest Park in the middle of the night. He has to work out because being a stud dog is very energy-consuming, but this is a dog that can really keep going, even if he's constantly being a stud dog. This dog is quite the troublemaker. To control its destructive tendencies, the owner spent a whopping 3000 yuan to have a large iron cage custom-made. Otherwise, this wild and unruly dog's destructive power is immense; it would surely tear the house apart inside and out. The girlfriend's father is pressuring his daughter to marry Gu Feng quickly because he just made a fortune in the real estate market. His girlfriend has a very sharp eye; he managed to snag a gold mine in the greedy night of the real estate market. He's really shrewd.

"If it were me, I would definitely regret it."

"What are you regretting?"

"If traditional Chinese style is so appealing, why does she insist on going to Denmark to find her ex-boyfriend?"

"What's so great about him? Is he as good as me?"

"He was so good to his ex-girlfriend's dog, so how could Gu Feng, who's now married, be any worse? By the way, can you be as pure as Gu Feng was to that dog? And be good to me?"

"Something seems off. He should be trying to get back at his ex-girlfriend. He should be treating that golden retriever he left with Gu Feng so well."

"I don't care, I love everything about her, anyway, Gu Feng truly loves his ex-girlfriend."

"So your current girlfriend is also a true fan of traditional Chinese style, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You need to forget everything from the past. Can you do that now? Forget all your past lovers."

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Forget everything from the past, unless I'm reborn."

Love Girl and Song Yu discussed various possibilities for their future love. Of course, Song Yu also told Love Girl about the bizarre love stories of his past friends, especially the grand romance between Gu Feng and his ex-girlfriend, which ended with a dog named Lennon. At least Song Yu was happy because he believed that playing hard to get was the best strategy for escaping love, which is why he could emulate the great Don Juan and Byron. The idea of ​​Byron being an incarnation is just a metaphor; in China, Ximen Qing from *Jin Ping Mei* could be seen as an incarnation of Don Juan and Byron, but that's a bit of an overestimation. Song Yu's... this Ugly soul...
