In the first year of Dali, Tang Daizong, Huo Xiaoyu was sixteen. She is endowed with the qualification of mother. She is beautiful, intelligent and lovely. Coupled with the careful teaching of her mother, she is not only good at singing and dancing, but also proficient in poetry. At this time, the jewelry brought out from home by mother Zheng Jing was also sold out. In order to maintain the livelihood of mother and daughter, Huo Xiaoyu had to accept her mother's old craft and entertain guests in kabuki. For the sake of her daughter's future, Zheng is very strict about the reception standard, which is limited to providing songs and dances, entertaining guests and never selling her body. In this way, I try my best to keep my daughter's chastity, so that one day I can meet a destiny takes a hand as my wife and get lifelong happiness. Such a geisha who doesn't betray herself is called a "young man" among prostitutes, and only a strong-willed person can do it. Although Huo Xiaoyu is a "young man", he still attracts a large number of elegant and romantic guests because of his outstanding talent and looks, and becomes a famous red singer.
At this time, there was a young man who was famous for his poetry. He is Li Yi. This person is from Longxi. In the fourth year of Dali, he went to Chang 'an to take the exam and was a scholar. He ranks tenth in his family, so people call him Li. When he was a scholar, he was twenty years old, ambitious and brilliant. His poems, such as "Song of Zhao" and "Go Early", have also been regarded as treasures by countless rich and noble people in Chang 'an and painted on the screen.
Li Yi grew up in the desolate Longxi, which was once a place of war during the Han and Tang Dynasties. When I was a child, Yi Lee often went to these war sites to pay tribute to the ancient heroes who once dominated the battlefield. These life experiences inspired Li Yi's poetic pride, so he wrote a lot of homesick poems. Huo Xiaoyu read these poems and enjoyed them very much. What hurts her even more is Li Yi's five-character quatrain "Jiangnan Ci", which only takes 20 words, but renders the helplessness and loneliness of the dissatisfied housewife in the boudoir to the fullest:
Since I married a businessman from Qutang, he has not kept his promise every day.
If I knew how regular the trend is, I would marry a fashionable person.
Affectionate women always look forward to being with their sweetheart day and night, and really depend on each other. Huo Xiaoyu has experienced numerous aristocratic sons and romantic gentlemen, but he always refuses to have sex easily, just because he wants to find a trustworthy lover like a "trend pioneer". Through this poem, it seems that a man who knows tenderness stands behind the poem, so deep down, he firmly remembers the name of the author Li Yi.
Later, through the introduction of neighbor Qiu Niang, Jinshi and Yi Li, who was waiting for the post of Ji Pai, came to Huo Xiaoyu's home in Chongdefang. When they met, they both fell in love with each other. So I sat in the living room, cooking wine, and chatting happily, which made me feel like a brief encounter. The two talents are congenial and have the same interests. Topics are endless. At this time, it is the late spring season, the flowers outside the sill, the birds singing in front of the window, and the climate is warm and cold, which is refreshing. Tan Xing thick, until the dead of night, two people still have no intention to say goodbye. Looking at these congenial young people, Mrs. Zheng was filled with joy and thought, poor daughter, she finally found a satisfactory home. Mrs. Huo lit two red candles, washed the dishes again, and added food and wine. In the flickering candlelight, Li Yi and Huo Xiaoyu made a lifelong commitment by sprinkling wine, and vowed to heaven together: "Never unite, be faithful, and change things. This feeling will never change! "
Since then, Li Yi has been with the Huo Xiaoyu family. Both of them are right. They eat and sleep together, and go out together, just like newlyweds.
? Time flies. When I went to Qiu Lai in summer, Yi Li was appointed as the chief secretary of Zheng County by the court. The Chief Secretary is the official in charge of the county administrative money and grain, ranking second only to the county magistrate. After printing, Li Yi intends to go back to his hometown in Longxi to worship his ancestors and visit relatives, and then go east to take office in the spring of next year. After everything is arranged, send someone to pick up Huo Xiaoyu and get married in Zhengxian County.
Japan won the official position, and Huo Xiaoyu was half happy and half sad, fearing that Li Lang would fly away and never come back to her. Li See Yi made his plans for the future very clear, and wanted to say that there was no evidence, but he was still full of doubts. Li Yi simply picked up pen and ink and wrote an engagement on a piece of plain silk: "Next spring and March, marry a beautiful woman, and Zheng County will reunite and never part."
? Huo Xiaoyu treasures this plain silk token, just as it treasures a hope for the future. On a cool autumn night, the Huo family gave a banquet to treat Yi Li. In the middle of drunkenness, Huo Xiaoyu suddenly solemnly said to Li Yi, "Personnel changes are hard to control. Although there is a vow of eternal love, it is inevitable that the official position will change. For my sake, all I ask is that you and I fall in love within ten years, and I won't let you climb branches again at the age of thirty. " Say that finish, tears fell silently on my skirt. Li Yi was so sad that she naturally repeated her oath.
Who knows the subsequent development of the situation, unexpectedly let Huo Xiaoyu's concerns become a reality, and Japan's repeated vows were shattered by the oncoming facts!
After Li Yi returned to his hometown, his reputation was greatly improved and his scenery was infinite. Li's parents were overjoyed and rushed to act as matchmaker for him. This woman is the daughter of the local official Lu Jia. Li Yiwen felt embarrassed after hearing this. He crustily skin of head told his parents about his relationship with Huo Xiaoyu in Chang 'an. Hearing this, Li's parents shook their heads and objected, "How can you marry a prostitute when you are a scholar and a court official?" What a shame! " Since parents are firmly opposed, and Lujia girl is beautiful and knowledgeable, and she is a good family, especially Lujia has a certain influence in the DPRK, which is of great benefit to Yi Li's official career progress. Because of this, Li Yi, immersed in joy, left Chang 'an's engagement behind and married Lu naturally. They went to Zheng County to take up their posts together, sang with her, and gradually forgot their amorous feelings.
? Poor in Chang 'an, since she left, she has closed the door, waiting for her lover to send someone to pick her up and reunite with Zheng County. Day after day, month after month passed, and the half-year deadline came, but there was no news of Li Lang. Homer tried to comfort Huo Xiaoyu and said, "Li Lang has just arrived in a strange place and is busy with official business. It will definitely take some time to send someone! "
Huo Xiaoyu himself tried to look on the bright side, but all of a sudden, the solstice was already autumn. A whole year has passed, and Li Lang is still missing. Before winter came, Huo Xiaoyu finally fell ill because of anxiety. Although Mrs. Hoff carefully treated her until it snowed heavily, her condition still didn't improve, calling Li Yi's name day and night, screaming at the top of her lungs. In a trance, the insiders were moved by her sadness.
At this time, Li Yi went to Beijing on business, and an informed friend told him about his recent situation and illness in Huo Xiaoyu. Li Yi's heart sank, and he recalled his debt of gratitude in Beijing. He had intended to visit her family, but he thought of his married status, which would only add to Huo Xiaoyu's sadness, so he gave up this wish.
However, the story about Huo Xiaoyu's infatuation with Li Yi and Li Yi's ruthless abandonment of Xiao Yu spread all over Chang 'an, and many people were indignant at Li Yi's fickleness. One day, several literary friends hosted a banquet in Yan Xi Hotel to entertain Li Yi and his wife who came to Beijing. After three rounds of drinking, while the guests were talking, several uninvited guests suddenly broke into the restaurant. Headed by a young man in a yellow silk robe, followed by several servants, they went straight to Yi Li's desk. The young man asked Li Yi's name, so he said nothing more. The man behind him stepped forward to help Li Yi, quickly took him downstairs and boarded the bus.
Only Li Furen and a few friends were left in the restaurant. They were all stunned and didn't return to their senses for a long time.
What's the problem with this yellow robe and Li Yi? In fact, this young man doesn't know Li Yi. He just heard about Li Yi's infidelity. When he saw a rugged road, he drew his sword to help him. He specially went to the restaurant to take Li Yi to Chongde Fanghuo's house. Li's car arrived at Huo's door, and the yellow-robed servant greeted him and reported, "Li Lai has arrived!" Mrs Huo answered the door, and the gang put down Yi Li and turned away. "。
The night before, Huo Xiaoyu dreamt in a daze. She dreamed that a big man in a yellow shirt rushed to Li Yi and came to her house. She took off her shoes and went to church. She suddenly woke up in a dream. After waking up, Huo Xiaoyu felt particularly refreshed. Recalling her dream, she explained: "Harmony of shoes is a sign of harmony between husband and wife; And those who take off, untie and leave, Li Lang is both combined and separated, which is an eternal symbol. " As a result, she became more and more worried. At this time, Li Yi was sent to her door by the yellow-shirted guest.
Huang Shanke is a very warm and considerate person. He not only found Li Yi for Xiaoyu, but also sent a sumptuous banquet for the couple to relive their old dreams with wine. Huo Xiaoyu walked out of the bedroom and came to the front of the hall. Li Yi looked at her beautiful lover in the past, but now she is haggard and can't help feeling ashamed and sorry.
? In fact, what Yi Lee said at this moment is superfluous. Since he has made a negative worry, there is no way to hide it and remedy it. At this time, his strong self-condemnation is his punishment. Huo Xiaoyu looked at the ungrateful lover, feeling only love and hate. Once, her face was bright, and another time, she shook her head and sighed. The scene of past love flashed in her mind like a lantern, and the infinitely sweet past was gone forever.
? Huo Xiaoyu stumbled up to Li Yi, wanting to cry, and pointed angrily at Li Yi and said, "I didn't fail your husband, but you failed him. My heart is broken, my intestines are broken and my thoughts are hopeless. What are you doing here? " After that, I picked up a glass of wine on the table, shook myself, then closed my eyes cruelly and raised my hand. The glass and wine spilled on the ground, meaning: "We are water under the bridge!" "
Showing his mind, Huo Xiaoyu wanted to turn around and go back to his room, but he couldn't move. He leaned forward, suddenly let out two miserable cries, and then fell to the ground, dead.
Japan was heartbroken, holding Huo Xiaoyu's body and crying. However, everything is too late.
After the news of Huo Xiaoyu's death, someone heard this poem on Chang 'an Avenue:
A generation of famous flowers pay for the love of narcissistic poets;
How to marry a yellow shirt guest, the white horse is in the suburbs.
Many years later, Li Yi became an official of the Ministry of Justice, and his guilt for Huo Xiaoyu tortured him all his life.
