The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The Qinhuai River is the largest regional river in Nanjing. Historically, its navigation and irrigation functions have bred the ancient civilization of Nanjing. It is known as the mother river of Nanjing and "China's first historical and cultural river".It is said that when King Wei of Chu visited the east, he looked at the purple air rising above Jinling, and thought it was royal air, so he dug Fangshan Mountain, cut off the long ridges, and entered the river. Qinhuai".

Since the Three Kingdoms Soochow has been the residence of the bustling business district.During the Six Dynasties, it became a place where famous families lived together, merchants gathered, scholars gathered, and Confucianism flourished.After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually declined, but it attracted the favor of countless literati and poets.

Of course, the most talked about is naturally the famous prostitutes of the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River is full of Goulan and tile houses, singing and dancing, and singing and dancing all night long.Among them, there are many brothels, and it is a world full of prostitutes. These women are not simple women, they possess unique skills, and many of them have their own love pursuits!Many virgins whose parents have both died and who are lonely and helpless will be sold to brothels, where they will be taught piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing and dancing.After it grows up, it will become the signboard in the brothel.

Among these women, the most famous are Qinhuai Bayan, namely Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, Kou Baimen, and Ma Xianglan. Later generations joined Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan and 4.9 was called Qinhuai Bayan.

Qinhuai Bayan, if you want to say that the most famous ones are Liu Rushi, who has a lot of talent and courage, and Chen Yuanyuan, who is so angry that she wins the eyebrows back for her beauty.

However, although Li Xiangjun's reputation is not so good, in the 21st century, when tourists stroll through the old alleys of the Qinhuai River, the only brothel that tourists can find is the [Meixianglou] at the south end of the Laiyan Bridge on the Qinhuai River where Li Xiangjun lives.

At this time upstairs in Meixiang, the carved curtains on the windows are drooping, and the quiet room is dimly lit. Li Xiangjun, a famous Qinhuai courtesan who is peerless in appearance, has her hair in a high bun. with constraints.

She was looking at the scenery outside boredly.

I've been a little upset recently.

. .

Chapter 136 Qinhuai night, the singing is melodious [3]

It should be explained that the prostitutes~girls are all of integrity, and they do not lose their integrity in the face of national crisis.It is in the warm and soft fragrance that the loyal daughters who do not give in to men are smoked out.

And Li Xiangjun is one of them. When it comes to Li Xiangjun, you have to say Hou Fangyu.

Li Xiangjun, a famous prostitute in the Meixiang Building by the Qinhuai River, and a character who is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano, painting, singing and dancing, met Hou Fangyu for the first time and fell in love at first sight.

That year, Li Xiangjun was just 16 years old.

Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, and Mao Pijiang are collectively known as the four sons of Ming Fushe, and they are full of talents.The son of Hou Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, at the age of 15, he won the No. 1 in the Tongzi Examination.However, these young masters gathered in the Qinhuai Pavilion all day long, talking about poems, playing with prostitutes, and laughing wildly.

Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun are a romantic and suave Pianpian young man, and the other is a soft and affectionate brothel girl. The two ~love~phase~joy, it is Kuangfeng who fell in love with Xianghua.

However, Hou Fangyu soon offended someone and fled.

After Hou Fangyu fled, Li Xiangjun ended his career, washed away all his lead, thanked guests behind closed doors in 09, and waited wholeheartedly for the return of Mr. Hou.Later, Tian Yang, a big celebrity in the Hongguang Dynasty, came to welcome Li Xiangjun as a concubine. Li Xiangjun refused, but Tian Yang insisted.

Afterwards, when the Qing soldiers entered the pass, Qin Huai all fled.

The brothels are all loyal prostitutes, and the heroes are all dog slaughterers.Li Xiangjun used his life to maintain his chastity and moral righteousness, and persuaded Hou Fangyu, "My son should be a Ming dynasty, don't do things with other races, and my concubine will remember your love under the nine springs."

It's a pity that Hou Fangyu gave up his principles and was ready to change his court at any time.

After entering the Qing Dynasty, Fang Yizhi became a monk among the four sons, Chen Zhenhui lived in seclusion, and pretended to open up the frontier to let Lin Quan go. The sub list has aroused criticism from many people.

People at that time laughed at it like this: "The two dynasties should promote Mr. Hou, and forbear to say Li Xiang to Taohua."

……

The above has not happened yet.

Moreover, at this time Manchu was still suppressed by Al Da Khan in the corner, but Li Xiangjun appeared 70 years earlier because of the chaotic history.

This may be a kind of favor from heaven to Yan Song.

At this moment, Yan Song was going down in a small boat.

Swimming, with the lanterns on both sides of the river, it was quite refreshing. Suddenly, a song broke into my ears.

"Flying catkins stain clothes, residual flowers follow horses, light cold and light warm fragrance. The scenery of the country and mountains, biased parting people. Looking back at the high hall, I sighed that the love at that time was light. At the wounded place, Du Yu was heard several times, and the guest's tears filled the skirt... ..."

The sweet voice is as tactful as an oriole, and the eyes are dripping.

Accompanied by the sobbing sound of the jade flute, and the sound of the pipa jingling like spring water.

Yan Song was immediately attracted, and his eyes locked on the brothel on the right bank.

"Go and have a look."

Yan Song became interested, maybe he would be one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

"Okay, gentlemen, sit down." The boatman yelled, and then shook his oars towards the brothel.

Yan Song: "Boatman, have you been operating here for many years?"

The boatman's face was wrinkled and he laughed out his chrysanthemum flowers: "The official has a sharp eye, the little people have been here for three generations."

Yan Song smiled: "Then just now, who is singing? Can the boatman recognize it?"

The boatman said with a smile: "The few sentences just now, 'Flying catkins stain clothes, residual flowers follow horses, light cold and light warm fragrance', this is the word in "Pipa Ji"...so the young ones can recognize it."

Yan Song was surprised: "I didn't expect the boatman to be able to speak? It's amazing...then who is this woman?"

This is Yan Song's sincere admiration, not perfunctory.

The boatman’s face blossomed from Yan Song’s praise: “Back to this master, if we talk about the Qinhuai River, there are not many women who can sing "Pipa" and there is only one who can sing so well, named Li Xiangjun. Fang is sixteen years old and has not left the cabinet yet."

Li Xiangjun?

Yan Song was a little surprised.

Soon the boat arrived at the shore, with three big characters [Meixianglou] written on it.

Yan Song went ashore, walked a few steps, turned back, asked the Jin Yiwei guard next to him for a piece of silver, and handed it to the boatman.

"The boat owner is very handsome. I have chartered the boat for these few days. You are waiting anytime."
