The biggest scam in " Menghualu ": How can you be independent when you serve others with sex?
The core point of "Meng Hua Lu" is: the most important thing for a woman is to be independent.
It is this sentence, coupled with the wonderful performances of Liu Yifei and Liu Yan , that makes "Meng Hua Lu" stand out from a lot of bad dramas.
But if you look at the plot carefully, you will find that the so-called female self-reliance and Beijing beauty in "Menghualu" are just wishful thinking.
01 Teahouse Discussion
What disgusted me the most in the play was the scene of the teahouse discussion.
Because Zhao Pan'er 's tea art, Sun Sanniang's cakes and Song Yinzhang's pipa are all unique, Zhao Pan'er's tea house has become famous and squeezed the living space of its peers.
So the companions joined forces to force Zhao Paner to submit. For the sake of fairness, both sides decided to discuss tea and win two out of three games.
Although Zhao Pan'er won in the end, Zhao Pan'er's skill was not tea art. On the contrary, Zhao Paner performed a graceful dance before making tea, and then incorporated pipa skills into the tea-making technique.
Tea art is an elegant thing. Integrating piano art into tea art is considered innovative, but dancing has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to do with tea art.
Zhao Paner won with her dancing skills and piano skills. Deep down in her heart, she was not confident in tea skills and had an opportunistic mentality. She also regarded the use of sex as a trump card buried deep in her bones.

Tokyo is big and difficult to live in, unless you have Gu Qianfan.
Although the three of them are from Beijing, they have nothing to do with enduring hardship and suffering.
The biggest expense - rent, is covered by Gu Qianfan; the biggest rival - a colleague, who is impressed by his dancing skills; the biggest trouble - Chi Yanei, an old acquaintance of Gu Qianfan, is also a fool; the biggest crisis - political opponents, are being Zhao Paner saw through it at a glance.
offended Chi Yanei as soon as he arrived in the capital, but he only liked to quarrel and never thought of punishing them. Even though the ice cream was stopped, he could still buy ingredients.
Offended Gao Kuan's family, but with Gu Qianfan as his backer, Gao Hui was also a sensible person and never thought of revenge.
Gu Qianfan has many political opponents, and they all know about his relationship with Zhao Pan'er, but only at the beginning they thought of threatening Gu Qianfan with Zhao Pan'er.
Facts have proved that the biggest reason why Zhao Paner can gain a firm foothold in Tokyo is that he has Gu Qianfan as his backer and his opponents are all gentlemen.

Speaking of this, I just want to complain.
Tokyo, as an international metropolis at that time, could be said to have everything, but none of the three could match their skills.
Zhao Paner integrated piano art into the tea ceremony, and her skills in various tea arts shocked the onlookers.
Song Yinzhang is known as the best pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is still outstanding in the capital. Is it because the prostitutes in the capital don't work hard, or do they never use the pipa?
Sun Sanniang’s character design is the most nonsense. Even if there is no authentic Jiangnan dim sum in the capital, Sun Sanniang can cut Wensi tofu and cook. How can a pig butcher get the chance to learn how to cook?

Actually, although the plot of "Meng Hua Lu" is old-fashioned, it is still watchable because of the ancient puppet plot and the fairy-like appearance.
In the drama, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang always teach Song Yinzhang that "a woman must be self-reliant", which is really disgusting.
Just like tofu bean curd, betel nut bean curd, or setting up a stall in low-cut clothing, business is very good, but can you say that it relies on high technology and authentic taste?
If it is as independent as Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Xueyan , I support it with both hands. If Zhao Pan'er is as independent as she is, she'd better stop marketing!
