The coffin of Cai E, the general of protecting the country, was parked here, and the crowds who came to worship stretched for dozens of miles.
Also on this day, a thin figure appeared in front of everyone; I saw her in front of Cai E's tomb, offering flowers and two elegiac couplets, and then leaving with tears in her eyes.
When the woman disappeared into the crowd, someone reacted: That's the famous chivalrous woman Fengxian Xiao!
Hearing the words "Fengxian Xiao", all the people present were moved: what a woman who values affection and righteousness!
"I don't believe that beauty is destined, and chivalrous women never come out of the dust."
The story of Impatiens and General Cai E is always regrettable:
A brave and resourceful chivalrous man, full of deep feelings, rose up in danger and never lost his dream. A wandering and arrogant man wandered and struggled in an involuntary fate. It happened that an encounter between karma and fate made them interpret their love.
The love of the world of mortals, once it enters the deep picture of the times, also sees the chord sound of fate and the times, which is amazing.
Impatient Impatiens and Cai E: Irreconcilable Short-term Love.
Fengxian Xiao was born in the ancient city of Hangzhou. Her father was a small military attache of the Eight Banners, and then gradually declined, and finally lost his job with the decline of the Qing Dynasty. Fengxian Xiao spent her childhood in such a poor and motherly family, and was later sold to strangers and became a famous geisha in Nanjing.
1965438+In July 2003, the "second revolution" against Yuan Shikai broke out in Nanjing, and parts of Jiangxi became battlefields. Braid army Zhang Xun came to attack Nanjing, Jiangsu. After the city gate was broken, Zhang Xunbing looted. During the war, Fengxian Xiao was forced to come to Beijing and settled as a prostitute in Yunjiban.
Among the eight hutongs with beautiful women, Fengxian Xiao quickly became the flower head of a brothel because of her extraordinary temperament and outstanding talent.
At the same time, the unfair manipulation and torture of fate made her aloof and arrogant, giving people the feeling of Leng Yan. She is not good at serving guests and doesn't want to please them. For this reason, she has been scolded and laughed at by the madam, but she still goes her own way.
19 15, this woman, who was drowned in the land of fireworks, met Cai E, a Confucian protector who made her famous in the future, in the sweet music of mountains and rivers. At the same time, the meeting between them also played an inexpressible love song.
After the failure of the second revolution, Yuan Shikai's ambition to return to the wolf is already obvious.
Cai E, who is armed to the teeth, well versed in military strategy, has become his key suspect.
Because Cai E was beyond the reach of Yunnan, Yuan Shikai tried his best to call Cai E to Beijing in the name of being transferred as the governor of Hunan. From then on, Cai E was stared at no matter what he did. He was a great general in the southwest, but at this time he was trapped in a cage. His resentment and helplessness can be imagined.
There was nowhere to flow, and Cai E simply put on her military uniform and professional clothes and went to the "Eight Hutong" for beauty.
When asked about his identity by Fengxian Xiao, Cai E, dressed as a businessman, casually said, "Yunnan people, come to Beijing to do tea business."
Seen countless times Fengxian Xiao smile, and then quipped:
"I don't think so. I have never met a businessman like you. You are very different from those who are drunk. "
Such a smart woman also makes Cai E stop hiding her identity; Just like the hero in Fengxian Xiao's mind, Fengxian Xiao knew that the handsome man in front of him was Cai E, commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army that all military governments were pursuing.
Since then, the two have also become bosom friends who appreciate each other; "(Cai) enjoys Feng Xian alone, and Feng Xian also looks up to Cai." It is a true portrayal of their life at that time; And this tacit understanding of mutual understanding and mutual respect also shows a lingering affection for children.
Yuan Shikai, who tried to restore, was always afraid of Cai E: this young talent who had entered Changsha Current Affairs School, studied in Japan, and returned to China became a young talent who competed for the support of all parties; However, when the Revolution of 1911 and the Wuchang Uprising broke out, they joined hands with the Yunnan army to recover Kunming, the governor of Yunnan, in one fell swoop ...
However, Cai E, who came to Beijing, made everyone feel a strong gap: playing with a fireworks woman all day, drinking every day and singing every night, where is the ambition of men!
However, Cai E has not been affected by this, and he still cannot live without Fengxian Xiao. He even threatened to invite people to buy a house and threatened to build a large-scale project for Fengxian Xiao, saying that "it is rare at this time, and people are like fairy beads."
For a time, the affair of the general beauty spread in Beijing; This angered Mrs. Cai E, who hit Fengxian Xiao, and the husband and wife turned against each other and made a scene. Desperate, Mrs. Cai decided to go back to her hometown in Hunan to make room for him and satisfy him.
Hearing that the Cai family was in a mess and there was no peace, Yuan Shikai was extremely disdainful and relaxed.
Couples who had been in trouble broke up so mercilessly that the world reviled Cai E's ingratitude; But only Fengxian Xiao knows that in the beautiful story of the general, he despaired of himself, but in the general, it was a disguise that puzzled Yuan Shikai.
He badly needed a chance to escape from Beijing and return to Yunnan to lead his army to beg Yuan.
"Whether I live or die, I am determined to escape the shackles."
This is Cai E's confession to Fengxian Xiao: his closeness and affection are all a cover-up of his identity and situation; In the face of Yuan Shikai's heavy monitoring, this charming place of fireworks is the only chance to escape.
She knew his national meaning, so she decided to go with him, but he couldn't let her take the risk.
"It's inconvenient for peers, and I won't forget the successful day in the future!"
Rational rejection became his only thought about Fengxian Xiao.
191511,an ordinary night, Nanbang brothel in Beijing's eight hutongs was crowded with people.
And Fengxian Xiao's wing, the curtain is high, very bright, I saw Cai E sitting in the window with his back to him, she was singing to the wine.
Across the room, a few pairs of peeping eyes watched closely, and saw that Cai E was addicted to beauty and relaxed.
At this time, in Fengxian Xiao's room, I saw that she was still fiddling with the strings, singing and drinking; It was late at night, and naturally the curtains were put down, but the figure was still shaking and did not stop. The spy outside took a look and felt at ease.
That night, Fengxian Xiao's songs did not break, and the strings did not rest; There are also lyrics handed down, which make people inexplicably sad:
"The song of praise held a banquet for Joan, which will be a feast for a child. You advocate righteousness, your heart is firm, and you are willing to take risks. A glass of wine will probably make you taste bad. Don't think that leaving the banquet is the commemoration of the two of us. "
"Yan, do you want to stay? I'm here to make an appointment for a one-hundred-year ticket for the afterlife, so don't keep each other. If the plan doesn't succeed or another day! Into the lotus, and then have a past life wish. "
People just think it's beautiful, but they don't know that the woman in that room has shed a thousand tears and lost the love of her life.
Early the next morning, a group of spies waited and waited, but they still didn't see Cai E go out, only to feel that something was wrong; When they broke into the house, they found that there was only Fengxian Xiao in the room, and Cai E had long since disappeared.
It turned out that Cai E pretended to get up and go out to relieve himself last night and left his hat and coat in the room. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, I slipped out smoothly and went straight to the railway station.
At this point, the story of "a beauty will be" has been completely transformed into the legendary story of "a beauty carried away General Cai", and the names of Cai E and He have been tied together since then, spreading all over the world and never separating.
Knowing the news of Cai E's escape, Yuan Shikai was so angry that he immediately ordered the murder.
But at this time, Cai E had arrived in Hongkong, and soon he made a detour into Yunnan to organize a national defense army and an uprising for Yuan.
The rise of the movement of defending the country and defending the country, coupled with the rebellion of the old people of Beiyang Army Department, made Yuan Shikai dream of several emperors. After only 83 days of emperor addiction, he died of despair.
After the death of Hong Xian, Li acted as president and appointed Cai E as the governor of Sichuan.
Fengxian Xiao, on the other hand, pays close attention to the news of Cai E every day, expecting him to send a car to pick him up.
Qian Shan had a long journey, and it was not until a few months later that she received his letter: "Since joining the army, she has had a sore throat and insomnia. Now she is in charge of government and military affairs in Sichuan. It's really hard but kind, so I can't bear it. When everything is ready, I will go abroad for medical treatment, and then I will go with you. Wait a little longer. "
It was this letter that made Fengxian Xiao start a long wait; But in this world, too many things have deadlines; Some relationships are destined to be full of regrets.
19 17, Cai E, who had already been hospitalized, died in Fukuoka, Japan, at the age of 37.
His unexpected departure shocked the country where the warlords were separated and crushed Fengxian Xiao, which was waiting for reunion.
Fengxian Xiao, who heard the news of his death, was like rolling in the deep, heartbroken and in tears.
Such an ending was beyond her wildest dreams.
On that day, she seemed to be in a trance, holding a newspaper with Cai E's obituary, reading and reading it again, but she just didn't want to believe it was true; Heartbroken, this karma, is too short to give birth to illusion. ...
Cai E's coffin was shipped back to Shanghai, and a grand memorial service was held for him in the business circles of the Shanghai Navy and diplomatic envoys from various countries.
On that day, in the crowd of general Cai's public sacrifice, he came with two elegiac couplets.
"Nine Wan Li Nantian Peng Yi, soaring, pity him for a lifetime, meet by chance into a dream; In the eighteen years in the north, rouge, from sorrow to fall, won a hero confidant, and the peach blossom color is also a thousand years. "
"Unfortunately, Zhou Lang is short-lived. I know Li Jing is a hero."
After seeing these two elegiac couplets, all the people present were deeply moved and lamented the past.
Since then, Fengxian Xiao has disappeared from the eight hutongs, and no one knows her trace anymore.
In the following years, people kept asking: Where did Fengxian Xiao go after a long journey?
In a few years without news, time gradually stopped at 1998.
This is a distant era, and the people and things in the old days of the Republic of China have already settled.
It was also on that day that 70-year-old Li Guilan realized that her stepmother, who had died for 44 years, was actually the famous Fengxian Xiao of the Republic of China.
It turned out that after Cai E's death, Fengxian Xiao, who was deeply hit, was determined to die with him; On the train to Tianjin, she tried to commit suicide with sleeping pills; Maybe it's Cai E's soul in heaven, and she doesn't want to leave like this. The train derailed unexpectedly that day and spilled her medicine.
After that, Fengxian Xiao turned a blind eye to lead China, touched the silk and touched the bamboo, and did not show his voice.
She gave herself a name called "Zhang Xifei". The word "Zhang" is the pseudonym of Cai E pretending to be a businessman when he first met Cai E.
Later, she moved to Shenyang; Once married to Zhang's men, there was a general wang xing who looked like Cai E; However, the good times did not last long. Wang finally died in the battlefield and began to wander in life.
Until many years passed, the Northeast was liberated and the new China was completely new; She married a boiler worker and became the stepmother of his four children, and her life really settled down.
According to Li Guilan, who was in his 70s, Fengxian Xiao especially liked a photo before his death. She always takes it out and watches it quietly, and never avoids us when she watches it. This is a photo of her and a young general.
"The man in the photo is very brave and has a big chapter on his shoulder, so I asked her,' Who is this?' She still smiled faintly and occasionally replied: This is a friend; Just a dumb voice, but full of heavy sadness. "
From 65438 to 0953, Fengxian Xiao suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Her memory is getting worse and worse, but she still likes to listen to opera. Every day, she listens to Cai E and the Summer Prostitute's Love Xu Sansheng. When recalling the past, Li Guilan still lamented that her unconscious mother always listened to the opera and cried alone.
A year later, Fengxian Xiao died at home; When sorting out the aftermath, the children discovered that at the last moment of their mother's life, they were still clutching the mottled military photo.
That is the most important thing in her life and the last nostalgia in her life.
After discussion, the children decided to put this photo in their mother's coffin as a companion.
What the children didn't know at that time was that it was this practice that brought a legendary woman from the Republic of China to the garden.
For many years, the love story between Fengxian Xiao and Cai E has been circulating. This sad and beautiful love with deep feelings and heavy meanings has also been remake into a movie, which has been loved by many audiences.
However, as a descendant of Cai E, Cai Duan once said: His father had no love for Fengxian Xiao at all, but the situation at that time needed Fengxian Xiao as a cover. From beginning to end, this is Fengxian Xiao's daydream.
So, did Cai E love Fengxian Xiao?
As future generations, we can't clearly know Cai E's true feelings.
But think from the perspective of ordinary people: I believe he has a good impression on her!
When Fengxian Xiao cooperated with Cai E's "Wine Beauty" performance, she changed her inner dressing room into a safe haven for collecting information and planning to deliver secret messages, Cai E, even a man with an iron frame, was somewhat moved by this chivalrous woman.
In the love affair between the general and the beautiful woman, Cai E took advantage of it and sheltered it, but perhaps it was more due to human nature.
In the beauty's profound understanding of the general's righteousness, there is an unbreakable pursuit of love, and more importantly, the fulfillment of the righteousness of the family and the country.
Beauty has been a famous star since ancient times, and it is forbidden to see bald heads on earth …
I prefer to believe that they were moved, but lost to time and fate.
You're already Guo Xu, so it's hard to be Summer Xu.
An opportunity has changed the choice of life, and a move has achieved the well-being of future generations ... In the fate of love and righteousness, their meeting is an untimely romance, and it is also a robbery of nature.
There are nine sorrows in the past of the Republic of China; In the yearning for the garden, an encounter made her study all her life!
