"The slave is a tender branch,

The body is compared to the wallflower road grass. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

I can't take care of Luan Yanjiao,

You're reckless.

Remember to be busy or idle,

Either late or early.

Night and night, how did he ever know, these laughing tricks,

The spring breeze once taught me to be timid......"

Tianjin Wei, Tianxian Tea Garden, the wind on a summer night is hot and dry. On the stage, a girl in a red costume, named Yang Cuixi, as soon as she appeared on the stage, she firmly attracted the attention of men, and the mood of the audience could also rise and fall with Yang Cuixi's smile. At the age of fifteen, she was like a full moon, beautiful, long and jade, and walked like a weak willow facing the wind. As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was even sweeter, her singing was gorgeous and tactful, and she played the demeanor of a graceful and swaying infatuated girl. Exactly: the dance steps are shaken down from the sky to the moon, and the singing voice is overwhelming!

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

As soon as the song ended, the three men in the audience shouted loudly for her almost at the same time.

The first to applaud was a handsome, robed-wearing young man named Li Shutong, who was twenty-four years old at the time. He stood up, holding a paper fan in his hand, and holding a handwritten letter in his hand, in which he wrote a poem he wrote for Yang Cuixi: "The evening breeze is powerless to hang Yang Nen, and his eyes forget the gossamer green; At the bottom of the moon scars, Du Yu in Jiangnan cried. The infatuated soul is twisted, and he is willing to wear flowers and butterflies; Outside the curtain is separated from the shade of flowers, and the dream of incense is dipped in the morning. I don't know if it's a fever on his body or a fever in his heart, but the beads of sweat on his forehead and palms are oozing out.

The second person who applauded was Wang Yisun, a wealthy businessman in Tianjin, who held his belly upright. Sitting at a square table at the front of the stands, drinking Longjing tea, behind him, stood two domestic servants in black short coats.

The third person applauded. It was Duan Zhigui in military uniform. He was a distinguished guest invited by Wang Yisun to come to the play, and he sat next to Wang Yisun. He stared at Yang Cuixi's charming smiling face. couldn't help laughing, he felt that the stunner in front of him would definitely help him rise in the future. In 1903, Duan Zhigui was thirty-four years old. It is only the General Office of the Patrol Police of the Southern Section of Tianjin, which is equivalent to the public security chief of a district in Tianjin today. You must know that Duan Zhigui graduated from the Beiyang Military Academy, and he became the commander of the third town of the Beiyang Army at a very young age. He knew that Cao Kun, the current leader of Zhili Province, was Song Xiaofei's confidant, and he especially liked to watch dramas, and often invited Mei Lanfang and other famous actors to perform in Baoding. Duan Zhigui thought to himself, if he could buy a show for the leader. dedicated Yang Cuixi to Cao Kun's bed, why don't you worry about being promoted and making a fortune?

This Yang Cuixi, who performed on stage at the age of 14, is beautiful. The play was also performed well, and at that time, the old drama bones thought that women were immoral on stage, and there were very few Kun Ling in China, and they were generally men dressed as women, so she was a woman who was also a little famous, and she was a well-known female singer in Beijing and Tianjin. As soon as she took the stage, the whole Tianjin would be boiling, and countless young sons and middle-aged wealthy businessmen rushed to tell each other, vying to see the peerless style of the stunner, and they waited under her stage every night, just waiting for the beauty to smile. For Li Shutong, Wang Yisun, and Duan Zhigui's applause, she didn't pay attention to it at all, and continued to concentrate on the performance.

Yang Cuixi is an extremely smart woman, she is very good at using her own advantages, singing some extravagant tunes without lewdness, "Fanwang Palace" and "Red Plum Pavilion" are her masterpieces. Looking at Yang Cuixi's seductive posture and exquisite skills, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of restlessness in the hearts of the theater watchers. So, Li Shutong, Wang Yisun, and Duan Zhigui all decided to get Yang Cuixi in their hands.

Yang Cuixi is actually a person with a hard life. Her real surname is Chen, her nickname is Er Niu'er, and she was born in 1888. Due to the poverty of her family, her biological father was unable to raise her, not to mention that she was a girl, so her biological father decided to give her away. At the age of twelve, the second girl came to the house of her adoptive father Yang Maozun, and Yang Maozun gave her another name: Yang Cuixi. At this time, Yang Maozun was the owner of a troupe in Tianjin, often traveling back and forth to the three northeastern provinces, living a life of laughter and art. At that time, since ancient times, the son inherited his father's business, Yang Maozun had no son, and Yang Cuixi became the successor of Yang Maozun's opera troupe.

Although Yang Cuixi is a daughter, she is smart and smart, as long as Yang Maozun teaches her once, she can basically remember it. In addition to studying, Yang Maozun also took Yang Cuixi back and forth between the venues of the major celebrities at that time, so that Yang Cuixi could absorb their essence and use it for his own use.

But every time in the dead of night, Yang Cuixi still thinks of the days when she fled with her parents when she was a child, and the rare famine caused many people to starve to death. Her father pushes a wheelbarrow, that is, the whole family. Her mother sat on the right side of the wheelbarrow with her nine-year-old brother in her arms, and on the left were torn quilts, torn clothes, broken pots and bowls, and a few miscellaneous things. She led the mule to the front of the cart, with a thick rope on her thin black shoulders. Her father wore a pair of pants, and his dark skin and hungry bones were exposed. This team of escapees, like the weeds being crushed and trampled under a wheelbarrow, are struggling to survive tenaciously. They kept moving apart and scattering, but people kept coming in, each running to where they thought they could live. On the way, they found a dilapidated cowshed, and crowded into it. Then her father went out with an empty bowl to ask for food. She remembers the day her father brought back a red stick and a bowl of stick paste. Her mother then broke the red stick and fed it to her brother, who ate it in a few bites, and then drank the corn paste. Yang Cuixi was so hungry that her eyes were full of stars, and finally took the bottom of her brother's bowl and licked it twice. That night, Yang Cuixi's father was afraid that she would starve to death, so he sent her away crying. Her mother didn't say a word.

Li Shutong is actually an out-and-out "second generation official" and "rich second generation", his father Li Xiaolou is a Jinshi of the Yichou Branch in the fourth year of Tongzhi, served as the head of the Ministry of Officials, and then resigned from the official to do business, sent to Tianjin, operating the salt industry and the silver money industry, for the huge wealth of Tianjin, has founded several money shops such as "Tongda", earning a huge family business, known as "Tongda Li family". Uncle Li's method of chasing Yang Cuixi is very stupid. He sees himself as a loyal listener of Yang Cuixi. In order to cheer her on, Li Shutong had to go to the "Tianxian Garden" where Yang Cuixi sang every night, send flowers to her, and act as a "flower messenger" to send Yang Cuixi home. On the way home to send her, under the bright moonlight, Li Shutong explained the historical background of opera to Yang Cuixi from time to time, and guided her in singing and singing. Yang Cuixi felt that the young man in front of him was really strange, as if he didn't eat the fireworks in the world! As a girl who has almost experienced death and the loss of loved ones, Yang Cuixi has no sense of security and does not believe in love at all!

Finally one day, Yang Cuixi asked Li Shutong, "Can you redeem yourself for me and marry me?" ”

Uncle Li couldn't marry Yang Cuixi, and Uncle Li married his wife Yu in 1897. Uncle Li ran home to redeem Yang Cuixi and marry a drama as a concubine. His father, who had passed the Jinshi examination, stared at a pair of big eyes like a cow, and without saying a word, he rewarded Uncle Li with the same slap, "You are not filial son, are you obsessed?" The faces of our Li family's ancestors and ancestors have all been lost by you, a loser! If you want money, you don't have a copper plate! ”

Uncle Li begged bitterly, and his father raised the pole staff to break his legs, "You get out of here, the farther away the better!" Before his father could finish his sentence, he was out of breath and fainted. So, Li Shutong really got out, and he went to Shanghai to raise money from friends in tears.

Wang Yi's method of chasing Yang Cuixi is very "local tyrant", he built 3 more houses for Yang Cuixi in the front yard of the residence, and brought a private theater, and said to Yang Cuixi: "If you want to sing, you can go on stage by yourself; If you want to listen to the play, invite the actors to sing at home, and you can watch whatever you want. ”

Duan Zhigui's method of chasing Yang Cuixi was very direct, he sent someone to tie up Yang Cuixi's adoptive father Yang Maozun, took out a black-shelled Mauser gun, "snapped" it on the table, and took another 1,200 silver dollars, and threw it in front of Yang Maozun, letting him choose for himself. Yang Maozun is not stupid, of course he chose 1,200 silver dollars!
