There are four mysteries in the Qing Dynasty. The first is Shunzhi becoming a monk. It is said that Shunzhi became a monk for a Han woman named Dong Xiaowan. Dong Xiaowan was originally the concubine of a celebrity who ventured into Xinjiang. It is said that he was sad because Shunzhi took Dong Xiaowan away from him. Said:
Dream of fate, sad feeling, Ying Ying is far away, everything is empty. A beautiful woman left her soul and went to Mo Wen. Yang Gouhai of the former League; Embrace the forest and forget the past. After the dance of Jin Ping Mei, there were more songs in Yushu, but there was no trace of pink. Where are the willow branches? With water, water flows with the wind, and water flows out. Illusion is empty, emptiness is color, disillusioning the whole spirit. Forget, the color is empty; Long song sent a message, which was difficult to circulate for a month.
And wrote an article to commemorate the Jin people to express their sadness.
But this mystery is a mystery after all, but the actual situation is quite different.
There is a Bantang River outside Suzhou, which is clear and slow. The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Province Strait is beautiful and pleasant. There is an unknown hill by the river not far from the city. The bamboo forest on the mountain is as quiet as a peach blossom garden. There are no families on the hillside, only three or two simple pavilions for other tourists to use. Later, a small building was built here. Although the building is small, it is chic and elegant. A mother and daughter and some maids live in this building. The mother and daughter seem to live a very leisurely life. They are immersed in mountains and rivers every day, watching lonely clouds and flowing water flowing out of flowers. When they are tired, they will play the piano, recite poems, drink tea and play games in the flower pavilion in the yard. They don't I don't seem tired of making a living.
Whose harem has this kind of interest? They are the hostess and lovely daughter of the embroidery village, and they are also their masters in the city. Dongjiaxiu village is a famous Suzhou embroidery village. Due to meticulous work, business has been booming. A is a Suzhou embroidery family with a history of more than 200 years. Although embroidery belongs to the craft manufacturing industry, it can be very close to painting art, so Dong Jia is quite knowledgeable. The hostess Bai is the only daughter of an old scholar. The old scholar was frustrated all his life and had to pass on his knowledge to his daughter. Bai Dong gave birth to a daughter named Baihe Qinglian. Her youngest daughter is not only beautiful, but also clever. Her parents regard her as a treasure and teach her poetry, painting, sewing and sewing carefully. She is determined to cultivate a versatile girl.
This is a happy family. Unexpectedly, in the summer when Dong Bai was thirteen, his father suffered from dysentery. The medicine didn't work, and he died soon. This sudden change hit Dong Bai's mother and daughter. At her husband's funeral, Dong Bai didn't say that I didn't want to continue living in the old house in the city. It makes him sad to see such a thing and think of such a person. Then I spent a sum of money, built a secluded room by the Bantang River, lived a secluded life with my daughter, and entrusted all the embroidery work to this person.
Unconsciously, two years have passed, which is the last year of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court was corrupt and cruel, and the world was at war. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Suzhou was in chaos, and the people could not help but panic. Bai also plans to close Xiuzhuang and recover the stolen money. Who knows that when Xiuzhuang checked out, in addition to the remaining money, she owed thousands of dollars outside. Obviously, a person is playing a trick on it. Bai couldn't catch it for a while, and he was angry and anxious. Finally, he was ill in bed. Mother fell, Xiuzhuang went bankrupt, and the debt pressure was great. The heavy burden of life weighed heavily on fifteen-year-old Dong Bai. She seems to have fallen into the ice room from the clouds, and she can't open her eyes for a while.
The huge debt can be postponed, but the mother's medical expenses in the United States are imminent. Dong Bai, who lived in seclusion with his mother since childhood, is aloof and loves to borrow money from others. In desperation, he did his best and agreed.
Dong Xiaowan's beautiful appearance and elegant temperament soon made her famous in Qinhuai River. Life forced her to give up laughing, but her arrogant temper appeared from time to time, which offended some vulgar guests and won the appreciation of some nobles. Dong Xiaowan is narcissistic and self-pitying and refuses to be pushed around by his guests. As a result, women's income is affected. The lady laughed at her naturally. Dong Xiaowan stamped his foot and left Nanking, then angrily returned to Suzhou. But the mother at home is still lying in the hospital bed and has to take medicine. Some creditors heard that Dong Xiaowan had gone home and also came to collect debts. Dong Xiaowan couldn't cope with it, so he had to go back to his old job and simply sell himself to a brothel with half a soup, selling jokes, accompanying wine and guests.
Halfway through the soup, Dong Xiaowan still held the original intention of not selling herself, but in order to survive, she had to suppress her lofty ideals and sell her smile with no actual content to the guests. But there is a kind of guest who has leisure, leisure and enough financial resources, and can take a favorite brothel girl to play in the mountains and enjoy the natural customs. Dong Xiaowan is most interested in traveling with guests. Although most people who can do this are elderly people, Dong Xiaowan was still obsessed with mountains and rivers at that time, and there is nothing I don't think Mr. White Hair hates. Against the backdrop of beautiful scenery, she is also easy to give guests a charming smile gently and sincerely. So, she was invited by the guests to visit Taihu Lake, climb Huangshan Mountain and go boating in the West Lake for ten and a half days. Shortly after Dong Xiaowan left Qinhuai River, a son came to Qinhuai River to find her. Childe took the initiative to protect Xinjiang. This brush river comes from an official family. Although he is not famous, he is ambitious and full of sense of justice. During the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian, a Yan Party, plotted to seize power, confused Chaogang, ventured to unite with a group of people with lofty ideals and organized a charity event in Jinling, among which the famous ones were. The fourth is Chen Zhenhui, Fang Mizhi, Hou Fangyu and Shuanjiang, all of whom are promising young people. However, due to the final weakness, it not only failed to become a climate, but was also destroyed by the Yan Party. Although I have not encountered any difficulties, my future has been greatly affected, so I can only give my love to the scenery for the time being.
This autumn, 29-year-old Shuanjiang came to Nanjing to take the college entrance examination after class. Speaking of where to take the exam, Shuanjiang took the exam three times, which should be his talent. However, in the exam composition, he should follow the rules, but keep pace with the times and belittle the political situation, which naturally goes against the examiner's requirements, so he tried again and again and failed. He is not going to change his style in this exam. He just wants to see if he can meet an examiner with vision, otherwise the worst. Bi Jiang took the exam with the same mood, but his friend Fang Mizhi didn't care about the exam at all. Seeing that there was still some spare time before the exam, they made an appointment to travel to Qinhuai River. In the early days of Mi Fang, people heard that Dong Xiaowan, a cold beauty on the Qinhuai River, was unique among prostitutes. Just to cater to the tastes of Mi Fang and others, I went to Maobijiang, only to find that Dong Xiaowan had left Qinhuai River.
After passing the exam, he became famous in Sun Shan as usual, and he was not disappointed. He secretly lamented that he was born too late, so he packed his bags and turned to Suzhou for a walk. In Suzhou, Shu Anjiang inquired about the whereabouts of Dong Xiaowan while wandering in his mind. When she learned that she had been entertaining guests in half soup, she came here with great interest. It's a pity that Dong Xiaowan was invited to visit Taihu Lake. After that, I went to the soup several times in a row, but I didn't see Dong Xiaowan until I was ready to leave Suzhou. I don't-I don't have much hope, but I can finally meet her. It was a cold night in late autumn. Dong Xiaowan just got back from the party and leaned back in bed a little tipsy. Seeing the guests, she struggled to stand up, but the wine didn't make her sit up trembling. Bijiang told her not to disturb, let the maid put a stool on Xiaowan's bed, and then sat down beside her. After introducing his trip to Xinjiang, Dong Xiaowan exclaimed: I haven't heard the names of four children for a long time! He has a happy expression on his face. I didn't. I don't think a travel-stained woman will be interested in their help in justice, so I can't I can't help but admire her. I looked at Dong Xiaowan and plain clothes carefully, with light makeup and bright eyes. In fact, they are very different from happy ordinary women. At this time, although they are somewhat drunk and effeminate, they still have clear ideas, talk appropriately and talk about the current situation. The poor Iraqi was drunk and tired, so he ventured to leave in less than half an hour. It was this half-hour conversation that left him a deep impression on Dong Xiaowan.
At this time, Shuanjiang had traveled for a long time and had to leave Suzhou to return to Rugao as planned, but his attachment to Xiaowan was hidden in his heart.
The following spring, I went to Suzhou to see Dong Xiaowan, but I heard that she went to the West Lake with money. I plan to go to the West Lake first, and then go to Huangshan to see the strange peaks and rocks. I don't know when I will come back. When I ventured into Xinjiang, I had to go back painfully.
In a blink of an eye, it's the season of warm spring in bloom. At the behest of my mother, I ventured to Xiangyang to visit my father who was an official in Xiangyang. After Suzhou, I can't I can't help looking for Dong Xiaowan in Bantang. Xiaowan accompanied the guests to visit Huangshan this time. He was disappointed and sighed. What a pity! Disappointed, he met Chen Yuanyuan, a famous local prostitute, and they hit it off. They visited the scenery of Suzhou together. When they ventured out of Xinjiang, they also agreed to enjoy Huqiu pomegranate with her when they returned home in early summer.
Go to Xiangyang to visit my father, and then come to Suzhou after a short stay. At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was hired by Jiading Zhou Bokui to go to Kyoto. At the risk of getting lost, he rented a boat and went to Tiger Hill alone with a melancholy mood. The boat moved slowly along the Bandeng River, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river aimlessly. The ship passed a green stone bridge in front of which was a green willow forest. Looking up, the eaves of a small building are hidden in the depths of willows, which is picturesque against the green hills and trees. Is there anyone in such a secluded place? That must be a hermit, a real master! Taking advantage of this interest, he ordered the boat to be tied to a willow tree, and then went ashore by himself and walked to the small building.
The door of this small building closed quietly. Before Meidochan opened the door, she boldly stepped forward and shouted a few times. When asked, it turned out to be Dong Xiaowan. This is our home. At this time, Dong's mother had just lost her son and just finished the funeral. It's hard to find Xiaowan's sadness. She is ill in bed. A Zheng suddenly appeared in his mind, claiming to be a friend of Dong Xiaowan, so he came to visit.
After reporting to the host, the girl invited the guests into the room and led them directly to Dong Xiaowan's bedroom. This is the second time I have seen Xiaowan in Maobijiang. Like last time, she was lying in bed with a charming smile, but this time she was full of sadness. Bijiang comforted her sympathetically, saying that she had been locked out several times. Dong Xiaowan reveals a trace of regret and relief. Seeing that she was weak, she ventured to Xinjiang several times and offered to go home early, but Dong Xiaowan tried to keep her. They talked until late at night before breaking up.
