"Dream dust, melancholy, 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 with open arms and never forget the past. After the golden lotus dance, Yushu is full of songs, peaches and plums are gone, where is the willow tip? Hey, flat with water, water with the wind, flat dry; Disillusionment is emptiness, emptiness is color, and disillusionment is the whole soul. Forgotten, the color is empty; Long song sent a message, it is difficult to round the moon. "
And wrote a tribute to the golden man, pinning his grief.
But the mystery is the mystery after all, but the real situation is quite different from it.
There is a strip of Tanghe 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 as 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 this building. The mother and daughter seem to live a very leisurely life. They indulge in mountains and rivers every day, watching a stone and lonely clouds, and the water falls out. When I am tired, I play the piano and recite poems, drink tea and play chess in the flower pavilion in the courtyard. It seems that I am not tired of my livelihood.
Whose harem has this leisure? They used to be the hostess and lovely girls of Dongjiaxiuzhuang in the city. Dongjia Embroidery Villa is a famous Suzhou Embroidery Villa. Thanks to its excellent work, its business is booming. Dong family is a Suzhou embroidery family 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 still more 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 gave birth to a daughter for Dong Jia, named Bai and Zi, to show the harmony between husband and wife. The little girl is not only handsome in appearance, but also very clever in brain. Parents regard her as a treasure, carefully teach her poetry, calligraphy and painting, needle and thread, and devote themselves to producing a girl with both ability and political integrity.
This is a happy family. Unexpectedly, when Dong Bai was thirteen years old, his father got dysentery in the summer, and the medicine didn't work, so he died soon. This sudden change made Dong Bai's mother and daughter haggard, and Bai didn't want to continue living in the old house in the city after taking care of her husband's affairs, and she was sad because of seeing things and thinking about people. So I spent a sum of money, built a secluded room by the Bantang River, took my daughter to live in seclusion and lived a quiet and isolated life. Xiuzhuang's affairs were entrusted to the staff.
Two years passed unconsciously, and it was 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, chaos approached Suzhou, and people could not help but feel uneasy. Bai also intends to close Xiuzhuang's business and recover the fleeing funds at any time. Who knows that Xiuzhuang's buddy not only has no money left, but also owes thousands of money outside. Obviously, that man played a trick on me. I couldn't catch it, I was angry and anxious, and finally I was 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. She seemed to fall from the clouds into the ice room 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, has developed a aloof and arrogant character, and is unwilling 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 its name to Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan's beautiful appearance and refined temperament soon made her famous in Qinhuai River. Life forced her to smile, but her lofty temper was sometimes revealed, which offended some vulgar guests and won the appreciation of some nobles. 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, and she 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, and she can't do it without seeking medical attention. Some creditors heard that Dong Xiaowan had gone home, and they also came to collect debts. Dong Xiaowan couldn't cope with it, so he had to return to his old job and simply sold himself to a brothel with half soup, laughing and drinking, and accompanying guests.
In Bantang, Dong Xiaowan still holds the original intention of not selling herself, but in order to survive, she has to suppress her lofty share and sell a flattering smile with no actual content to the guests. There is a kind of guest who has leisure and sufficient financial resources, and can take a favorite brothel girl to travel and enjoy the natural customs. Dong Xiaowan is most interested in traveling with guests. Although most people who can make this elegant gesture are elderly people, Dong Xiaowan was obsessed with mountains and rivers at that time and didn't find this white-haired gentleman disgusting. Against the backdrop of charming scenery, she is also prone to surge of tenderness and sincerely gives her guests a charming smile. As a result, she was invited by guests to visit Taihu Lake, climb Huangshan Mountain and go boating in the West Lake for ten days and a half. 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 comes from an official family. Although he has no fame, he is ambitious and full of sense of justice. During the Apocalypse period, eunuch Wei Zhongxian plotted to play politics, confuse the platform, and ventured across the border to unite a group of people with lofty ideals to form Jinling to uphold justice, 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 very young and talented. But in the end, due to the weakness of the situation, it was not only a climate, but also ruined by eunuchs. Although it is difficult to cross the border, its future is deeply affected and it needs to express its feelings temporarily in the scenery.
This autumn, 29-year-old Mao Bijiang 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. However, he wanted to contact the current situation and criticize it, which naturally violated the examiner's requirements, so he failed again and again. He is not going to change his style in this exam, only to see if he can meet an examiner with vision, otherwise he will take the second place. With the same mood as pioneering, his good friend Fang Mizhi also came to take the exam. They don't care about the exam at all. Seeing that they were a little leisure before the exam, they agreed to go to Qinhuai River to play. Mi Fang heard that Dong Xiaowan, a beautiful "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 and ventured across the border, losing his reputation in Sun Shan as always. He was not disappointed. I just sighed 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 and explore secluded places, and at the same time inquired about the whereabouts of Dong Xiaowan. Knowing that she had been entertaining guests at Bantang, I came here with great interest. Unfortunately, Dong Xiaowan has been invited to visit Taihu Lake. After that, I went to the soup several times and didn't see Dong Xiaowan. It was not until the eve of leaving Suzhou that I came to Bantang without much hope, but I was finally able to see 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 up a little wobbly. When he saw it, he advised her not to disturb, and asked the maid to put a stool beside Xiaowan's bed and sit down beside her. After venturing across the border to introduce himself, Dong Xiaowan praised: "I have heard the name of' four children' for a long time!" He has a happy expression on his face. I didn't expect a dusty woman to be interested in their righteous act, and I couldn't help but respect her. I looked closely at Dong Xiaowan and her plain clothes and light makeup, and it was very different from ordinary women. At this time, although they are slightly drunk and delicate, they are still clear-minded, well-spoken and insightful about the timely situation. Poor Iraqi people were tired 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.
At this time, I have been traveling in Pijiang for a long time, and I want to leave Suzhou to return to my hometown Rugao as planned, with my attachment to Xiaowan hidden in my heart.
The following spring, Mao Bijiang went to Suzhou to see Dong Xiaowan again, but heard that she had accompanied the money to visit the West Lake. She was going to visit the West Lake and then turn to Huangshan to see Qifeng pine and cypress. I don't know when she will come back. When I ventured across the border, I had to return painfully.
In a blink of an eye, it is the season of spring water heating again. I ventured to visit my father in Xiangyang, where he was an official. When I arrived in Suzhou, I couldn't help visiting Dong Xiaowan in Bantang. This time, Xiaowan accompanied the guests to travel to Huangshan. She was extremely disappointed when she ventured across the border and sighed: "I missed it!" Disappointed, he met Chen Yuanyuan, a famous local prostitute, and they hit it off. They took each other around Suzhou, and when they left, they agreed to enjoy the pomegranate in Tiger Hill with her when they came home in early summer.
I went to Xiangyang to visit my father and came to Suzhou as scheduled after a short stay. At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was hired by Jiading Kui to go to Kyoto. When I ventured across the border, I felt very lost. I rented a boat with a melancholy mood and went to Tiger Hill alone. The boat moved slowly along Bantang River, ventured across the border and enjoyed the scenery on both sides aimlessly. The boat passed a green stone bridge, and in front of it was a green willow forest. Looking up, the eaves of a small building are faintly exposed in the depths of willow trees, which looks picturesque against the green hills and trees. There are people in such a secluded place? It must be some kind of hermit and master abroad! When he was interested, he ordered Zhou Zi to tie the boat to the willow tree. He went ashore and walked to the small building.
The door of the small building was closed and there was silence. After making some phone calls, a little girl answered the door. When asked, it turned out to be Dong Xiaowan's home. At this time, Dong's mother had a new funeral. She had just finished the funeral, and Cha Xiaowan was so sad that she was ill in bed. Dong Xiaowan's friends came to visit.
After reporting to the master, the little girl invited the guests into the room and led them directly into Dong Xiaowan's bedroom. This is the second time I have seen Xiaowan in Bijiang. Like last time, she was lying in bed, but last time with a silly smile, this time she was full of sadness. Rio Tinto cross-border sympathy to comfort her, saying that she ate the soup after several searches, and Dong Xiaowan gave me a trace of apology and relief. Seeing that she was sickly, she ventured across the border several times to return to China ahead of schedule, but Dong Xiaowan was diligent in retaining her, and they talked until late at night before breaking up.
