But do you know that there has never been a bloody "peach blossom fan" in history?
Do you know that Li is from Suzhou, not Nanjing?
Do you know what Li's final ending is?
Beauty and Sorrow by Qinhuai River leads us into the story of Li.
Li was born in Suzhou in the fourth year of the apocalypse at the end of Ming Dynasty. Her two brothers just died in the earthquake, and she became the spiritual sustenance of her parents after losing their children.
In that turbulent era, the people were like a boat, drifting with the tide.
When Xiang Jun was eight years old, eunuch Wei Zhongxian came to power, and his father became the object of persecution because of his friendship with Lindong Party. In order to save Xiang Jun from childhood, her father entrusted her to the owner of Meilou on Qinhuai River in Nanjing. From then on, she followed her adoptive mother's surname Li.
Li's foster mother Li is a famous prostitute with chivalrous spirit. She is very kind to Xiang Jun, teaching her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, being a man and all kinds of social etiquette.
Li Dongyang Xiang Jun is smart and studious. At the age of 15, she became an excellent eyebrow dresser. In addition, in a romantic place, most of her contacts are wealthy businessmen and talented people. Her knowledge and vision far exceed that of ordinary women, generous and noble.
Li has two stunts:
First, she is good at playing the pipa. At the age of thirteen, her foster mother asked a famous teacher to teach her piano skills, a song called Pipa, where can I find a bosom friend in the world!
First, I love painting peach blossoms, perhaps lamenting that life experiences drift with the tide, such as falling out of the water, and peach blossoms are unlucky.
At that time, most of the eight beauties in Qinhuai were "official prostitutes", and when they entered Le Shu, they belonged to "busking but not selling themselves". Because of "flower-based", Li has a special person to wait on him, so he doesn't receive guests easily, and sometimes he even opens the curtain at sky-high prices to take a look. However, when the traitors are in power and the court is in turmoil, how can we really "busk and not sell ourselves"? Even if Xiang Jun is in his prime, once he is old, how sad he will be!
If an official prostitute wants to find a way out, she needs to go through two steps: grooming is the first night of the auction and is won by the highest bidder; "Redemption" means directly paying a high redemption fee to make it better. Xiang Jun has always hoped to find a like-minded Mr. Right to "cultivate" and "redeem" himself.
Hou Fangyu, the hero of Peach Blossom Fan, came to Nanjing when he was struggling to find a lover.
Hou Fangyu, the son of Shangshu, one of the four sons of Fushe, was only twenty-one years old at that time, and came to Nanjing to take part in the provincial examination. At that time, Li was famous, and literati wanted to see the style of "Xiangfan pendant" (Li Yiming), and it was no exception. In order to catch a glimpse of Qinhuai customs, Hou Fangyu finally got his wish and paid his daughter.
"The west wind is far away, and the mountains and rivers are picturesque. I don't know where the smoke is, and the sunrise is full of fishing boats. "
In Li's boudoir, I was impressed by his talent in poetry and painting and fell in love with him at first sight. Charming, well-born, good at poetry and songs is the right man for Li. The two soon fell in love.
Li met at the most hesitant time in her life. He is like a ray of sunshine illuminating her future. She hoped that Hou Fangyu would "comb" herself as soon as possible. At that time, Hou Fangyu was married, and she was only interested in being with Xiang Jun. She wants to have further development with her, but she is too cash-strapped to take it out. At this time, Ruan Dacheng solved Hou Fangyu's urgent need through an intermediary.
Ruan Dacheng, who are you? He used to belong to Lindong Party. Wei Zhongxian took refuge in the Yen Party when he was in power. After the downfall of Wei Zhongxian, he became a street rat shouted by everyone. Hou Fangyu's father was party member of Lindong Party, and Ruan Dacheng wanted to mend fences with Lindong Party through him. So, the money was lent to Hou Fangyu through an intermediary. And Hou Fangyu borrowed money, just want to kiss Fang Ze, didn't think much. After offering a high price, I finally got the right to sort out the Xiang army.
After living in Meilou, Hou Fangyu loved Xiang Jun every day. When he got what he wanted, he never wanted to atone for Xiang Jun.. Xiang Jun, who fell in love, thought that with Hou Fangyu's family background, he would atone for her when he left, so he didn't urge her.
With the end of the senior high school entrance examination, the date of leaving Beijing is getting closer and closer. When foster mother Li saw that he refused to redeem his daughter, she began to have doubts.
If all he wants is dew love, Xiang Jun is too poor. ......
Under the questioning of Jun, Hou Fangyu finally told the truth. Xiang Jun despises Ruan Dacheng's snobbery, the two ends of the snake uncle, and the people who are selfish and selfish. She denounced Hou Fangyu's lack of ambition and unprincipled compromise with such people. But discontent is discontent, infatuated with you at this time still have hope for Hou Fangyu. She took out her savings for many years and paid off Hou Fangyu's debts.
This completely angered Ruan Dacheng, who has been looking for opportunities for revenge.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself. As the saying goes, "Once every emperor is a courtier", the new emperor re-enabled Ruan Dacheng, and the opportunity he waited for finally came.
Soon, Hou Fangyu dropped out of the list. After all, he didn't redeem Li.
When he left, Xiang Jun wore a white dress, and a song "Pipa Travel" was tactfully sad. She never resented Hou Fangyu, but comforted and encouraged him, not because of his poor talent, but because of his untimely birth.
"This can't expect to meet each other, and I hope to love myself in the end. Don't forget my song Pipa Xing! I will never sing again! "
At this time, I felt guilty about Li and repeatedly said that I would raise money for redemption, but how long can this guilt last?
In the later Biography of Li Ji, Hou Fangyu didn't use the first person, but called it "Hou Sheng", as if he didn't want the world to know his close relationship with Xiang. It can be seen that Hou Fangyu had an affair with Qinhuai from beginning to end and never thought about being responsible.
Li returned to Meilou with the right expectation. For a guest like Ruan Dacheng, she insists that even if she pays, she will not see it. In that era when human life was like dirt, Li was indomitable and maintained the morality in his heart, which made people respect him!
Soon, Li was abandoned and forced to be a prostitute by Ruan Dacheng.
After the destruction of Nanjing, ladies-in-waiting fled everywhere. Li fled to Meilou, only to see a sea of fire ... The world is so big that there is no place to live! Finally, Li settled in Qixia Mountain.
After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he came to Nanjing again and found Li in Qixia Mountain. At this time, things have changed, and Li finally became Wu's concubine as a woman and lived a long-awaited stable life.
Unfortunately, the beauty is unlucky. After living quietly for eight years, Hou Fu learned that Xiang Jun had been a prostitute, and when he went out in Hou Fangyu, he drove the pregnant Xiang Jun to a desolate farm. After Hou Fangyu came back, despite repeated explanations, he still couldn't persuade his father to take back his task. He didn't allow Xiang Jun's son to enter the family tree.
The next year, Xiang Jun gave birth to a son, who died of depression and despair.
Li Libei: Your death is resentful, and your husband is ashamed for life. He often sits alone in front of the grave and refuses to leave for a long time. One year after Xiang Jun's death, Hou Fangyu also ended his life!
It can be seen that I still paid my true feelings to Li. Although I was not responsible at first, after the situation stabilized, I was able to find Xiang Jun thousands of miles away and died of depression after her death, which was also a deep affection for her.
After Kong's Peach Blossom Fan came out, the story of Li Yu was widely circulated.
However, in Biography of Li Ji, Hou Fangyu never mentioned "Peach Blossom Fan" from beginning to end. If there is such a fan, how could he not write it in his own works?
It can be seen that Peach Blossom Fan is just an artistic creation used by Kong to set off this character. But whether it is true or not, Li is not afraid of power, and finally loves and sticks to his moral character, which is still admirable!
