Mao Xiang (A.D.161-1693), whose name is Bijiang, was a writer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He was born in Rugao, a family that has been an official for generations. He studied in his grandfather's office when he was young. At the age of 65,438+04, he published a collection of poems, The Fragrant Garden Happened. Dong Qichang, a giant in Wen Yuan, compared him to Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty, expecting him to "embellish the poetic realm of Ming Dynasty".
He wrote eight volumes of Poems of Nested People, six volumes of Collected Works, 1 Memories of Mei Ying 'an and 12 volumes of Fan Ji.
During Mao Xiang's period of 1627- 1642, he won the second place in six rural examinations and six examinations, and only won the vice list twice, but there was not even a juror. He is very incompetent.
Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the river has gone from bad to worse, especially the eunuch's playing power and demoting the outline, which has reached its peak. Faced with this situation of peril, how can intellectuals with a sense of justice not worry? 1636, Mao Xiang formed an alliance with Zhang Mingbi, joined the Fu Society, and became friends with Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi and Hou Chaozong, collectively known as the "four sons". They are similar in age and have the same interests, or travel together, or sing together, or attack eunuchs, or talk about state affairs, hoping to reform politics and save the country from peril. In 1639, the book "Propaganda for Preventing Chaos by Staying in Beijing" drafted by Wu and signed by more than 140 people had a great influence, and Ruan Dacheng and others were like rats crossing the street.
1644, Li Zicheng's peasant army invaded Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty perished. Subsequently, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and established the Great Qing Dynasty. The old minister of the Ming Dynasty established the Hong Guang regime in Nanking. Ruan Dacheng, a remnant eunuch, took refuge in Ma Shiying and became the minister of war and deputy minister of Nanming. He wants to get back at the gentlemen in the upper class. As it happens, Mao Xiang got wind that Alex Gao would be stationed in Rugao, so his family fled to Nanjing. In Nanjing, after Ruan Dacheng failed to lobby Mao Xiang, he was arrested by the Royal Guards. It was not until the following year that Ma and Ruan fled Nanjing that they were released from prison. There is another saying: He fled to Yangzhou overnight, relying on Shi Kefa's shadow to escape the disaster. 1645 In June, Chen Junyue, an anti-Qing hero in Rucheng, organized volunteers to resist Qing court officials. Mao Xiang once again fled to Yanguan, Zhejiang with his family. From summer solstice to winter, I travel from one place to another. In Maanshan, "When I met a soldier, I was killed and plundered very miserably", "Dozens of servants and maids killed and plundered, and all the toys and clothes I stored in my life were destroyed." All this has brought about drastic changes in his thoughts. The next year, he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.
After the Qing soldiers pacified the whole country, Chen Mingxia, a member of the Qing society, wrote him a letter from Beijing, in which he was praised by the authorities as "a crane in the sky" and wanted to "recommend" him. However, I took the initiative to "stick to" my illness. During the reign of Kangxi, the Qing court set up "learned and versatile subjects" and levied "secluded forests". Mao Xiang is also among the candidates, but he regards it as our shoes and insists on not going. All these fully show his mentality and integrity of posing as a adherent of the Ming Dynasty, being indifferent to pure heart and never becoming an official. At the same time, he missed his old friend and adopted the orphans of Lindong, Fushe and Jiangnan anti-Qing people. For example, in the water painting garden, a blue house was built to commemorate Dai Jian, a good friend who died of hunger strike in the Ming Dynasty.
With the passage of time, the mammoth is dying, living in poverty, and can only make a living by selling words. He said to himself, "I am 80 years old. In the past ten years, the big fire has burned out the blade, which is extremely tragic! There are so many houses in the graveyard that families with four generations living under one roof can't get together. The two sons are exhausted, and neither the dog nor the horse can keep alive; Naizhai moved, lived alone in a mean alley, and still entertained himself with a smile. Every night, it is easy to write thousands of small letters under the lamp. " It expresses his followers' mentality of not serving two surnames, which is the most shining place in Mao Xiang's life.
Mao Xiang wrote many works in his life, such as Pre-Historical Records, Poems of Park Chao, Poems of Shuihui Garden, Memories of Mei Ying 'an, Lonely Poems of Han Bi, Poetry Friends for Sixty Years, etc. Among them, Yi 'an, with a full text of 4,000 words, recalls his touching love life with Dong, and is the originator of China's style writing.
Dong Xiaowan (A.D. 1624- 165 1), a native of Nanjing, became a prostitute because of his divorced parents and poor family. When she was 16 years old, she was already very famous, and she was called "the eight beauties of Qinhuai" with Liu and Li. 1639, Mao Xianghe and Xiaowan, who won the first place after the provincial examination, met in Suzhou Bantang. She fell in love with Maoxiang at first sight and even said, "Different people! Alien! " Although she expressed her love for Mao Xiang many times, she didn't get his approval. Because Maoxiang had long been interested in Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Wumen, and she got engaged at 164 1. The following year, Mao Xiang passed the rural examination in Suzhou for the sixth time. When I revisited Chen Yuanyuan, I was empty, frustrated and depressed to the extreme. This winter, under the mediation of Liu, Qian came forward to redeem Xiaowan, and then rented a boat from Bantang to Rugao. The following spring, Mao Dong became a couple. Xiaowan is talented, good at poetry and painting, especially at playing the piano. Now the guqin in Shuiming Building is exactly what she pays attention to.
The Story of Mao Xianghe and Dong Xiaowan
Mao Xiang, a native of Rugao County, Taizhou, Yangzhou Prefecture, South Zhili, was born on March 15th in the thirty-ninth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 16 1 1). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mao Shi's family in Rugao was a famous family and cultural family. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in a state of collapse. In the northeast, under the iron heel of the Qing army, Sichuan-Shaanxi-Huguang is a battlefield where "hooligans and bandits" gallop, while the literati in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still live a life of feasting, drunkenness and extravagance. On the Qinhuai River, the river house where prostitutes live holds a banquet along the guests, and the wine is not empty. The singer's jade mandarin duck and the scholar's purple towel are intertwined, and the literary talent is romantic and the spring breeze is proud. The frontier has also been contaminated with the habits of ordinary children. On the one hand, he is young and energetic, looking forward to being proud of himself, presiding over discussions, resisting vulgarity, enjoying talking about things in the world, and holding the ambition of serving the country; On the other hand, I miss the victory of Qingxi Baishi, the visit of Ji, and the life of the rich.
Mao Bijiang heard from Fang Yizhi for the first time that there was a talented and attractive Dong Xiaowan among the beautiful women in Qinhuai. Wu He also praised Bijiang Xiaowan. Xiaowan is always in the celebrity banquet room, listening to people talking about crossing the line, and knowing that there is such a tall talent, he is negative in honesty and complacency.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Mao Bijiang heard that Xiaowan lived in Bantang after having obtained the township examination, and visited many times, but Xiaowan stayed in Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake. Suzhou singers Sha Jiuyi and Yang Yiying are as famous as Xiaowan, so they associate with Sha and Yang every day. Before leaving Suzhou, Bijiang went to Dong's house. Xiaowan got drunk at home and met Bijiang among the flowers in the music bar. Seeing Xiaowan's eyes flowing on the border is natural, but he is still drunk and lazy and doesn't say a word.
In the spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Xiaowan returned from Huangshan, and her mother died. She was frightened by Tian Hong's robbing of beautiful women. She is very ill and stays at home. When the border was established, Xiaowan was dying. Xiaowan stood up, held his hand and said, "I have been in a daze for eighteen days." As soon as I saw you today, I felt refreshed. " She ordered her family to prepare food and drinks before bed. I bid farewell to the border several times, but Xiaowan stayed at the border. In the marriage and love with Mao Bijiang, Dong Xiaowan took the initiative everywhere, glowing with the personality glory of yearning for freedom and seeking truth; However, venturing across the border is hesitant about everything, exposing everyone's son's self-centered personality weakness.
After Xiaowan entered the Mao family gate, she got along very well with the Mao family. Horse workers (the mother of the border people) and Sue (the wife of the border people) especially like Xiaowan, and Xiaowan is also very respectful and obedient. In his spare time, Xiaowan and Bijiang often sit in the study of the painting garden, splashing ink, enjoying flowers, tasting tea, evaluating landscapes and identifying epigraphy.
When Xiaowan first entered the family, he saw that Dong Qichang's Yuefu was written by imitating Zhong You's brushwork, and he loved it very much, so he tried to copy it. Then I looked everywhere for Zhong You's copybook. Later, I thought Zhong You's handwriting was a little thin, and I saw that Guan Yu, whom she worshipped, was called a thief general in his "The Book of Honor", so I gave up the clock post and changed it to Cao E's stone tablet, with thousands of words every day and never missed it.
Xiaowan once wrote small letters to relatives and friends for Bijiang, and also registered the use of daily necessities and money for Sue. Xiaowan drew a small clump of cold trees, and the pen and ink were touching. /kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, the painting "Butterfly Map" is now collected in Wuxi Museum, with her inscription on it. After arriving in Rugao, she maintained a special interest in painting and exhibited new scrolls and scrolls or old collections at home. Later, on the way to escape, I still tied up my collection of paintings and calligraphy and took it away.
The most heartbreaking thing about Xiaowan is that she leads a romantic and beautiful daily life. Xiaowan is indifferent by nature and doesn't like greasy food and sweets. Warm rice with a small pot of mustard tea and one or two plates of watercress and fragrant black beans is her rice. Bijiang likes sweets, seafood and smoked food. Xiaowan cooked fresh, clean and varied food for him. She not only seasoned with salt and sour plum in the middle, but also picked the newly dyed colored and fragrant stamens and infiltrated the flower juice into the fragrant dew. The world of flower dew mouth and nose spray is rare. One of the most delicious is Haitang dew. Begonia originally had no fragrance, but Xiaowan's begonia has a unique fragrance. After drinking, dozens of kinds of flower dew are packed in white porcelain cups, not to mention tasting them with your mouth. Just floating five colors and overflowing exotic fragrance are enough to quench your thirst.
Small bowls of pickles can make yellow people like wax and green people like emeralds. All kinds of wild vegetables have a special fragrance and taste once they reach her. The fire meat she cooked smells like pine and cypress, the wind fish smells like muntjac, the drunk clam is like peach blossom, the pine shrimp is like dragon beard, the oily pomfret is like sturgeon, and the roast rabbit crisp chicken is like cake bait, which is wonderful.
Xiaowan often studies recipes. When she sees a strange taste, she will go and see how to make it. The tiger skin meat that people often eat now is her invention. Therefore, it also has a little-known name called "Dong rou", which complements "Dongpo rou". Xiaowan is also good at making candy. When she was in Qinhuai, she made crisp candy with sesame seeds, fried noodles, caramel, pine nuts, peach kernels and sesame oil as raw materials, and cut it into cubes with a length of five points, a width of three points and a thickness of one point. This crisp candy is yellow on the outside and crisp on the inside, sweet but not greasy. People call it "Dong Tang", and now the famous cakes in Yangzhou are full of fragrant Dong Tang (also called "inch gold Dong Tang").
Geisha can drink a lot of wine. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the king of Hanjiang held a banquet in Meihua Pavilion at Jiangkou to entertain Bijiang and Xiaowan. Perhaps it was the surging white waves of the Yangtze River that inspired Xiaowan's lofty sentiments. She "drank a lot of money, she was honest and clean, and all the prostitutes present at that time fell into despair." I've only seen this scene once. Because Xiaowan watched Bijiang and drank very little, and there were countless banana leaves, she didn't drink much. In drinking tea, Xiaowan and Bijiang both like mustard slices. This mustard slice smells like baby meat when cooked. Making tea is of course Xiaowan's specialty. They are often one person and one pot, silently facing each other before and after the flowers, savoring the color, fragrance and temperament of tea.
Moonlight is like water, and the youngest falls in love with it. On a cool summer night, Xiaowan likes to recite poems about the moon, fireflies and dishes in the Tang Dynasty with the two children who established the frontier. In order to appreciate the beauty of moonlight, she often moves several couches with the rise and fall of the moon. Back indoors in the middle of the night, she still pushed open the window and let the moonlight wander between the pillows. When the moon went west, she rolled up the curtains again and leaned against the window, reluctant to go, reciting Li He's poem "When is the bright moon, the waves are full of smoke and jade" repeatedly. Xiaowan once said to Bijiang, "I wrote Xie Zhuang's Yuefu, and I found that the ancients were tired of morning fun and liked night banquets. This is because the night is quiet, the moon is quiet, the sky is blue, and the frost is still. Compared with the red sun and the world of mortals, the two are different. Life is bustling and you don't go home at night. Some people fell asleep before the moon came out. They were not lucky enough to get rid of the shadow of osmanthus. You and I like to enjoy this bright moonlight all year round, and the Lu Xian Zen keeper opens in silence. " In this way, Xiaowan appreciates the subtle and elegant cultural interest in his natural and plain daily life, and yearns for a detached and clear poetic life in his humble life.
Xiaowan and Bijiang both like to sit quietly in the fragrant pavilion and savor the fragrance. Xiaowan cherishes Daughter Xiang, which is regarded as a masterpiece by Dongguan people. Xiaowan uses agarwood in a different way from laity. The laity burned agarwood on the fire, and the smoke was greasy, which soon went out. Not only can't observe the temperament of incense, but also the smoke pollutes the upper sleeve with burnt smell. Xiaowan uses the method of burning incense through gauze, and pays attention to his mood when tasting incense. On a cold night, in a small room, jade hangs down, two or three red candles are lit, agarwood burns in several Xuande furnaces, and the vision of the nose is quiet, as if you have entered the deep fragrance of Jolie.
Li Zicheng captured Beijing, the Qing army marched south, and the Jiangnan area was in flames. The Qing army was rampant, risking family destruction and ruin. Xiaowan fled to the south with her husband. In Chinese Valentine's Day in the fifth year of Shunzhi, Xiaowan suddenly became interested in making a pair of gold cymbals by imitating the floating clouds in the sky. She asked Bijiang to write down the words "Kiki" and "Fu Xiang" and carve them on the golden pheasant. In July of the following year, this pair of exquisite yellow jumping shoes suddenly broke away from it. They made a new pair. They wrote "Bi Yi" and "Lian Li" on the border. It serves to show that Dong Xiaowan regards this pair of Jin Chuaner as a token of love.
Xiaowan loves late chrysanthemums best. A friend gave Mao Biqiang several pots of chrysanthemums named "Cut Pink". There are many thick flowers, the leaves are dyed and the stripes are beautiful. Xiaowan watched "Cutting Powder" and liked it very much. She put the flowers by the bed on purpose. Every night, I have a high fever with green candles, surround three sides with a white screen, put a small chair in the greenhouse, adjust the chrysanthemums, and then enter the greenhouse, so that people are in the chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemums and people are in the shadows. This situation is unique. At the last moment of Dong Xiaowan's life, she also asked Mao Biqiang to move "cutting powder" to the bed, so that she could see whether the branches and leaves were lush and whether there were pests.
Xiaowanhe Bijiang once lived in Jiaxing Seawater Painting Gallery. She faced the bleak scenery of late spring on Jilong Mountain on the north and south lakesides, sighing that the river was cut off, her family was displaced and flowers were buried with tears. It is said that Lin Daiyu's Buried Flowers in A Dream of Red Mansions was adapted from Xiao Wan's Buried Flowers.
Soon after the weather stabilized, I ventured across the border and fell ill twice. Once, it was the blood of stomach trouble, but water and rice didn't enter. Dong Xiaowan boiled medicine and soup in the heat and took care of her pillow for sixty days and nights. The second time was gangrene on my back, and the pain was unbearable. She can't lie on her back. Xiaowan held her husband every night and let him rest on her, while she sat and slept for a whole hundred days. Bi Jiang said that all the happiness in his life was enjoyed in the nine years with Xiaowan.
In the hard life, it is difficult to get enough food. Xiaowan's body is very weak. She has taken care of several serious illnesses in Bijiang continuously, which makes Xiaowan's body collapse in an instant. She can't drink a mouthful of water for more than 20 days. Because the physique has been extremely lacking, it is difficult to try to ask a famous doctor for treatment. In the eighth year of Shunzhi (A.D. 165 1 year), Xiaowan died at the age of 28 on the second day of the first month. Before she died, she held the gold medals engraved with the words "Bi Yi" and "Lian Li" in her hand. I was buried in Meiying 'an, Rugao, in a trance at home. Scholars of all ages have paid tribute to them.
After clearing Daoguang, someone lied that Xiaowan was not dead in those days and was taken to the palace by Hong Chengchou. He was loved by Bo Xilai and Shunzhi, and he was afraid. He lied that Xiaowan was dead, but in fact Dong Fei was Dong Xiaowan, which was all empty talk. Dong Xiaowan was 28 when he died, and Shunzhi was only 14 years old. Xiaowan and Bijiang advocated integrity and refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Xiaowan hates the luxurious life of the court, not to mention the fact that Manchu is not married, and Xiaowan has no reason to invite pets into the palace. Shunzhi is loyal to Dong E Fei, not Dong E Fei. Princess Dong 'e, daughter of Chen Wu Ashuo. He entered the palace at the age of 18 (Xiaowan married Bijiang at the age of 19). Princess Dong 'e is unusually beautiful, quiet and gentle, and dotes on the harem. In August of the 13th year of Shunzhi, she became a virtuous princess, and in June 65438+ February, she became a imperial concubine. Shunzhi was inseparable from her, painting poetry and learning Buddhism. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Dong E Fei's son died within a hundred days. She was very sad and soon fell ill and died. The emperor shunzhi named her queen and held a five-day strike, and the funeral ceremony was extremely grand. As for the legend that Shunzhi saw through the world of mortals because of Dong Xiaowan's death and became a monk in Wutai Mountain, it is even more absurd.
Dong Xiaowan, from a famous prostitute to a virtuous concubine, had four mysteries in Qing Dynasty. The first one is Shunzhi becoming a monk. It is said that Shunzhi was a Han woman-Dong Xiaowan became a monk. Dong Xiaowan was originally the concubine of a famous celebrity, and it is said that Shunzhi stole Dong Xiaowan from him, which made her heartbroken. Said:
"The dust in the dream, sad feelings, ying ying, looking forward to empty. The beautiful girl left her soul, and she passed by Mo Wen. Raise the hook at the seaside, who will prove the former alliance; Embrace the forest and never forget the past. After the golden lotus dance, Yushu is full of songs, peaches and plums are gone, where are the willow branches? Hey, go flat with the water, and the water will go flat with the wind. Illusion is emptiness, emptiness is color, and disillusionment is the whole soul. Forgotten, the color is empty; Long song sent a message, and the moon is difficult to round. " And wrote a poem "Jin Ren Jie Dish" to express his grief.
But the mystery is a mystery after all, but the real situation is quite different from it.
There is a Bantang River outside Suzhou, which is clear and slow. The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan 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 faint and quiet, just like a paradise. There are no families on the hillside, only three or two simple pavilions for tourists who come here to rest. Later, a small building was built here. Although the building is small, it is chic and elegant. A mother and daughter and several maids live in the building. The mother and daughter seem to live a very leisurely life. Every day, they indulge in mountains and rivers, watching a stone and lonely clouds, as well as water falling from flowers. When they are tired, they play the piano, sing poems, drink tea and play chess in the flower pavilion in the courtyard. They don't seem to be tired of their livelihood. Whose harem has this luxury? They used to be the hostess and good girls of Dongjia Xiuzhuang in the city. Dongjia Embroidery Villa is a famous Suzhou Embroidery Villa. Because of its fine work, its business has been booming. Dong Jia is a family of Suzhou embroidery with a history of more than 200 years. Although embroidery belongs to the craft manufacturing industry, it is very close to painting art, so Dong Jia is quite scholarly. 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 Chongxi gave birth to a daughter for Dong Gu. In order to show the harmony between husband and wife, she was named Bai,No. Qinglian. The little girl is not only beautiful, but also smart. Her parents regard her as a treasure. She carefully teaches her poetry, calligraphy and painting, needlework and needlework. She is determined to cultivate a girl with all talents and virtues.
This is a happy family. Unexpectedly, in the summer when Dong Bai was thirteen years old, his father suffered from dysentery, and the medicine didn't work, so he died soon. This sudden change made Dong Bai's mother and daughter haggard. After taking care of her husband's affairs, Bai didn't want to continue living in the old house in the city, and felt sad because she missed things. So I spent a sum of money, built a secluded room on the bank of Bantang River, took my daughter to live in seclusion and lived a quiet life. The affairs of Xiuzhuang were all entrusted to the staff.
Unconsciously, two years have passed, which is the last year of the Ming Dynasty. The court was corrupt and cruel, and the world was at war. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, chaos has approached Suzhou, and people can't help feeling uneasy. Bai Chongxi also plans to close the business of Xiuzhuang and recover the fleeing funds at any time. Who knows that when Xiuzhuang's buddies settled accounts, they not only had no money left, but also owed thousands of dollars outside. Obviously, that man played a trick on me. Bai Chongxi couldn't grasp it, was angry and anxious, and finally fell ill in bed. Mother fell, Xiuzhuang went bankrupt and was heavily in debt. The burden of life suddenly fell on fifteen-year-old Dong Bai. It seems that she fell into the ice room from the clouds and couldn't open her eyes for a moment.
The huge debt can be eased, but the mother's medical expenses are imminent. Dong Bai, who lived in seclusion with his mother since childhood, developed an arrogant character, where he was willing to borrow money from others. In desperation, he tried his best, agreed to the recommendation of others, and went to the painting boat on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing to perform art, and changed his name to Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan's beautiful appearance and elegant temperament soon made her famous in Qinhuai River. Life forced her to smile, but her arrogant temper sometimes showed, which offended some vulgar guests, but won the appreciation of some noble people. Dong Xiaowan is narcissistic, self-pitying and self-loving, and will never be at the mercy of his guests. As a result, my wife's income was affected, so I naturally sneered at her. Dong Xiaowan left Nanking and returned to Suzhou with a stamp. But the mother at home is still lying in the hospital bed, so she can't help but seek medical advice. When some creditors heard that Dong Xiaowan had returned to China, they also came to collect debts. Dong Xiaowan was unable to cope, so he had to return to his old job and simply sold himself to a brothel with half soup, laughing and drinking.
In the middle of the soup, Dong Xiaowan still insisted on not selling her original intention, but in order to survive, she had to suppress her lofty share and sell a flattering smile with no actual content to the guests. There is a kind of guests who have leisure and sufficient financial resources, and can take their favorite brothel girls to travel and enjoy the natural customs. What Dong Xiaowan is most interested in is traveling with guests. Although most people who can make this elegant gesture are old people, Dong Xiaowan was obsessed with mountains and rivers at that time and did not find this white-haired gentleman disgusting. Against the charming scenery, she is also prone to surge of tenderness and sincerely gives her guests a charming smile. Therefore, she was repeatedly invited by guests to visit Taihu Lake, climb Huangshan Mountain and go boating in the West Lake, which lasted for ten days and a half months. Shortly after Dong Xiaowan left Qinhuai River, a son went to Qinhuai River to find her. The son will venture across the border. This man was born in an official family. Although he is not famous, he is ambitious and full of justice. During the Apocalypse period, eunuch Wei Zhongxian conspired to play politics, confused the platform, and ventured across the border to unite a group of people with lofty ideals to form the Jinling Shouzheng Society, among which the famous one was the "four sons". The "four sons" are Chen Zhenhui, Fang Mizhi, Hou Fangyu and Mao Pijiang. They are all young and talented. But in the end, due to the weakness of the situation, not only did it not become a climate, but it was also destroyed by eunuchs. Although it is difficult to cross the border, its future has been deeply affected, so it is necessary to temporarily express its feelings in the scenery.
This autumn, 29-year-old Mao Biqiang came to Nanjing to take the provincial examination. Speaking of the provincial examination, Mao Bijiang has participated in it for three times. With his talent, he should have won the exam. But in the exam-oriented composition, he should have followed the rules and interpreted the classics. But he wanted to contact the current situation and criticize it, which naturally violated the examiner's requirements, so he tried again and again and failed. He doesn't intend to change his style in this exam, only to see if he can meet a discerning examiner, otherwise he will get the second place. With the same feelings as starting a business, his good friend Fang Mizhi also came to take the exam. They don't care about the exam at all. Seeing that they had a little leisure before the exam, they agreed to go to Qinhuai River for fun. Mi Fang heard that Dong Xiaowan, a "cold beauty", came to Qinhuai River very early. She is unique among prostitutes, just to the taste of Mi Fang and others, so she went to visit with Mao Bijiang, only to find that Dong Xiaowan had left Qinhuai River.
Later, after obtaining the provincial examination, he made a list, ventured across the border and lost his reputation in Sun Shan as always. He was not disappointed. I just lamented that I was born at a bad time, packed my luggage and then went to Suzhou to wander around. In Suzhou, I ventured across the border to visit Sheng, explore secluded places and inquire about the whereabouts of Dong Xiaowan. Knowing that she had been entertaining guests in Bantang, I made a special trip with great interest. Unfortunately, Dong Xiaowan has been invited to visit Taihu Lake. After that, I went to the soup several times, but I didn't see Dong Xiaowan. It was not until the eve of leaving Suzhou that I came to Bantang hopefully, but I was finally able to meet her. It was a cold night in late autumn, and Dong Xiaowan had just returned from a banquet, leaning on the bed slightly drunk. Seeing the guests, she tried to stand up, but she was still drunk and sat a little shaky. When he saw it, he advised her not to disturb, so the maid put a stool beside Xiaowan's bed and sat down beside her. After bold cross-border self-introduction, Dong Xiaowan praised: "I have heard the name of' four sons' for a long time!" He has a happy expression on his face. I didn't expect a dusty woman to be interested in their behavior of helping justice. I can't help but admire her. I looked at Dong Xiaowan and plain clothes with light makeup and clear eyes.
Sure enough, it is very different from ordinary women who are often in love. At this time, although she is slightly drunk and delicate, her mind is still clear and her speech is extraordinary. She spoke insightful about the current situation. Out of sympathy for the Iraqi people's fatigue after drinking, he left in a hurry after sitting at the border for less than half an hour. It was this half-hour conversation that left him a deep impression on Dong Xiaowan.
What are some special and delicious snacks?
