Kou Baimen, whose name is Mei and whose courtesy name is Baimen, is one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
"Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" says: "The white gate Juanjuan is quiet and beautiful; it is ups and downs, can play music, is good at painting orchids, knows each other and plays rhyme, can recite poems, but it is slippery and easy and cannot be learned." Bai Men is simple and tactless, which determines her tragedy in marriage and love.
In the late spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Guobi, the prominent hero and protector of the country, came to Kou's house on Chaoku Street under the escort of a police officer. After several interactions, Baimen left a good impression on him. He is polite, gentle and kind, so when Zhu proposed marriage, he agreed immediately. On the autumn night of that year, 17-year-old Kou Baimen boarded the sedan chair with heavy makeup. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the custom at the time for women with Le Ji Ling in Jinling to leave their nationality and become good friends or get married at night. In order to show his grandeur and grandeur, Zhu Guobi sent 5,000 soldiers holding red lanterns starting from Wuding Bridge and standing solemnly along the way to Zhu Mansion on the inner bridge. The grand occasion was unprecedented and became the largest wedding scene in Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Guobi was actually a slick and cunning bureaucrat. His marriage to Kou Baimen was a temporary necessity. After a few months, his ruthlessness was gradually exposed, so he left Kou aside and continued to follow the rules. Between Tailiu Lane.
In 1645, the Qing army went south. Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, soon moved to the capital, and was imprisoned by the Qing court. Zhu wanted to sell all the singers and maids, including Lian Kou Baimen, but Baimen said to Zhu Yun: "If the proceeds from selling my concubine are only a few hundred gold... If I send my concubine back to the south, I will be paid ten thousand gold in one month." Lord." Zhu thought and agreed, and Kou Baimen returned to Jinling with his maid Dou'er on horseback and short clothes.
With the help of sisters from the old courtyard, Kou raised 20,000 silver to redeem Zhu Guobi.
At this time, Mrs. Zhu wanted to realize her dream again, but was rejected by Mrs. Kou. She said: "Back then, you used money to redeem me from my citizenship, and now I also use money to redeem you." It should be settled.

Her ears were full of wine, singing or crying, and she also lamented the beauty's late death. "The red beans are falling away." Later, a certain Xiaolian from Yangzhou returned to Jinling unhappily, and finally died of illness in his home in Leji. At that time, Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin in the literary world, wrote a memorial poem "Kou Baimen" and said: "The sisters of the Kou family have always been beautiful. For eighteen years, they have been obsessed with flowers. Today, Qin Huai is afraid that he will be worth it, and he will not let his red tears stain his clothes." The red powder misses the king's kindness, but the heroine knows that the coffin is still alive, and the fragrant pill is the soul. Dong Xiaowan, whose given name is Bai, also known as Qinglian, is also nicknamed Qinglian Nvshi. Both her name and her nickname were derived from her admiration for Li Bai. He was born into a businessman in Suzhou who made a living from embroidery. Unfortunately, when he was thirteen years old, his father died of a sudden illness. Two more years later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos and chaos was approaching Suzhou. His mother, Bai, planned to pack up her belongings and flee, but found that she had no money to take with her. She was so angry that she fell ill in bed, and the burden of life suddenly fell to her. The fifteen-year-old Dong Bai felt this way, as if she had developed an aloof and arrogant character and refused to bow her head to others for loans. In desperation, he made a living by performing on a boat on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, and changed his name to Xiaowan to support his mother's medical expenses.
During his career, he quickly became famous along the Qinhuai River because of his arrogant character and extremely talented people. However, while being rewarded by literati and elegant guests, he was ignored by worldly villains. For a time, he left Nanjing in anger, but was eventually forced by life to return to his old business at the Bantang brothel, but he was always a performer rather than a prostitute. Later, he got acquainted with Mao Pijiang, who was once defeated by Sun Shan in the provincial examination and was known as one of the "Four Young Masters" at that time. After the two had known each other for a while, Dong Xiaowan admired his character and conversation, so they got to know each other personally. Since Mao Pijiang already had a wife, he only acted as Concubine. But Dong Xiaowan did not feel sad because of the deviation of his status, but served his elders more thoughtfully than the maid. While she was well-known in the countryside for being well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Xiaowan also cared for her husband in every possible way. He is also very good at cooking, and his name is listed among the "Top Ten Famous Chefs of All Time". Today's famous Yangzhou snacks: Guanxiang Dongtang and Crispy Dongtang were all made by her.
However, after a few years of peaceful life, wars broke out again. Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Qing soldiers went south, and war broke out in various places. After the whole family fled, their property was lost as much as possible. . After the war, life in the whole body has been very difficult. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, but at this time, Mao Bijiang fell ill. Xiaowan stayed with her at all times and took meticulous care of her seriously ill husband. After Mao Pijiang passed away, Xiaowan became as sick as a stick, as if she had also been seriously ill. It was in this living environment of hunger, poverty, and lack of food that Xiaowan's physique was extremely weak. Therefore, in the first month of the eighth year of Shunzhi, Dong Xiaowan, who had been a good concubine and a good wife in the Mao family for nine years, finally closed her eyes. With tired eyes closed, she walked so peacefully amidst Maojia's cries.
