Chapter Seventy-Five: Chen Yuanyuan
"Xianggong, there is food in the book club, and there is also a wine banquet in the book club."
Liu said, after all, this book club is people with common hobbies, and the party together is not so formal, everyone is more casual, and all kinds of snacks are placed in the party place, after all, many talented people will take their families to participate, and many women like to eat snacks and chat.
"Alright, let's go now."
Qin Duan reluctantly followed the two talented girls to participate in the book club, to be honest, to participate in the book club, it is really better to discuss life with his own woman in the room, and study how to have children, which makes people feel happy.
The sun outside is hot, adding a touch of warmth to the winter day.
The carriage drove faster, almost noon, Qin Duan arrived at a small attic in the north of Jinling City, and looked at the signboard at the door, this is an antique restaurant, with two floors, but there is a large courtyard behind.
The scale of the restaurant is still not small, and the decoration is very luxurious, there are red lanterns hanging at the door, it seems that it should be chartered, there are less luxurious carriages parked in the open space outside the door, and some people get off the car and enter the restaurant, there are many people with a few calligraphy and paintings in their hands and other things.
Qin Du looked a little confused, in his opinion, the book club was just for everyone to communicate with each other, why did they bring things here, it seemed that their hands were empty.
Qin Duan helped Li Xiangjun and Liu Ru get out of the carriage, and after a few people got out of the carriage, they straightened the clothes that were messed up on the carriage.
"Oh, Sister Liu and Sister Li are here!" A woman shouted from behind.
"Sister Chen, you came early."
Liu Ru turned around in surprise and said generously, but he was not seen by his good sister that he was with a man, and he was a little shy, which was much better than Li Xiangjun, Li Xiangjun's face was a little red at this time.
"It's not early, it's almost noon, two sisters, who is this?"
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Qin Du and asked, after all, judging from the situation just now, this man has a lot to do with his two good sisters.
"This is Qin Duan, Qin Gongzi."
Li Xiangjun introduced that the relationship between himself and Sister Liu and Qin Duan, Li Xiangjun didn't want outsiders to know, for fear of causing trouble for his man, after all, he and Sister Liu both had a lot of admirers, Li Xiangjun was worried that some people would be jealous and would do something unfavorable to their men.
"Hello Qin Gongzi!" Chen Yuanyuan saluted Qin Duan.
"Hello Miss Chen."
Qin Duan looked at this girl who was even more beautiful and younger than Li Xiangjun and Liu Ru and said, this Miss Chen is the most beautiful girl Qin Duan has ever seen in this world.
Wrapped in pale pink clothes, draped in white gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hair band, the head is inserted into a butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs on the chest, thin powder, only add color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow......
"Qin Gongzi, this is my good sister Chen Yuanyuan, the most beautiful Oiran in Qinhuai River."
Li Xiangjun saw Qin Du staring at Chen Yuanyuan, so he said with a smile, every man who has seen Chen Yuanyuan for the first time will be shocked by her beauty, among Qin Huai's eight Yan, Chen Yuanyuan is definitely the most beautiful among the eight.
"Chen Yuanyuan?"
Qin Du looked at the beauty in front of him in surprise and exclaimed, this is Chen Yuanyuan, the protagonist who is very famous in Chinese history.
This is the stunning woman who made Wu Sangui, a famous traitor in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, open Shanhaiguan and introduce Qing soldiers.
Qin Du remembered that Chen Yuanyuan was recorded in the history books of his previous life, Chen Yuanyuan's original surname was Xing, his name was Yuan, the word Wanfen, the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty martial arts ~ entered the people, and when he was a girl, he was shocked in the township.
Because of the poverty of the family, his parents fostered him in the home of his uncle, who was a businessman. Yuanyuan ice and snow are smart, poetry and songs, and they can be understood at one point. When the valley in the south of the Yangtze River is not on the ground, the uncle-in-law who values profit and light righteousness sells Yuanyuan to Su ~ Zhou pear orchard.
Yuan Yuan first appeared on the stage, playing the role of the matchmaker in "The Legend of the West Chamber", the person is as beautiful as a flower, like a cloud out of Xiu, the sound of the warbler, and the six horses are on their backs, so that the audience is concentrating and holding their breath, fascinated. Yuanyuan then with color and art, the name of the river left. Chen Yuanyuan's mother died early, and his uncle's surname was Chen.
Chen Yuanyuan, the country and the city, can sing and dance, when the color art crown, is called one of the "Jiangnan Eight Yan". When Emperor Chongzhen, his cousin Zhou Kui wanted to seek a beautiful woman for the emperor to relieve his worries, so he sent Tian Guifei's father Tian Qiwan to the Jiangnan beauty pageant. Later, Tian Wan dedicated the famous prostitutes Chen Yuanyuan, Yang Wan, Gu Qin and others to Emperor Chongzhen.
At that time, wars were frequent, and Emperor Chongzhen had no intention of having fun. Chen Yuanyuan returned to Tianfu, and Tian Qiwan took possession of private property. One day, Wu Sangui met Chen Yuanyuan in Tianfu, fell in love at first sight, and then Wu Sangui accepted Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine.
It is rumored that when Li Zicheng broke through the capital, his subordinate Liu Zongmin kidnapped Chen Yuanyuan, and Wu Sangui "rushed to the crown and became angry", so he led the Qing army into the customs and defeated Li Zicheng, but Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts became a mystery. There is a saying that Wu Sangui is the king of Pingxi, Yuanyuan went with him, and died in Yun~Nan as a female Taoist.
Chen Yuanyuan, although she is far less heroic than Liang Hongyu, but she dumped Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin, Dashun Dynasty, and countless men many years later with her beauty.
Even if Li Zicheng was defeated by the Manchurians, if Wu Sangui did not surrender to Dolgon, the Manchus would have entered the customs at least a few decades later. Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan changed history by influencing others with her personal charm.
In the following days, Wu Sangui, who bears the name of a national thief, took Chen Yuanyuan as a spiritual pillar, crossed the Yellow River from the mountain ~ stream, entered the Tongguan, Kexi ~ press, Ping Li Chuang, Dingyun ~ Nan, and drove Yongli, which can be described as a servant of the wind and dust, and made great contributions to the unification of China by the Qing court.
After Li Zicheng was defeated, he killed Wu Sangui's father and all 38 members of his family, and then abandoned Beijing and fled. Wu Sangui held the revenge of killing his father and taking his wife, and chased and killed the peasant army to the mountains ~ streams day and night.
At this time, Wu's troops will search for Su ~ Zhou famous Ji Chen Yuanyuan in the capital, fly and teleport, and lead Wu Sangui to take Chen Yuanyuan from Qin to Shu, and then monopolize Yun ~ Nan.
"Qin Gongzi has seen a little woman?" Chen Yuanyuan asked suspiciously, in Chen Yuanyuan's impression, it seemed that there was no such thing as Qin Dusk Qin Gongzi.
"No, it's just a girl's name."
Qin Duan said with some embarrassment, after all, it is very rude to stare at a girl like this, which makes people feel that they are from the disciples.
"Is Qin Gongzi from Jinling?"
Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, after all, in Chen Yuanyuan's impression, there is no one named Qin Du among the sons and daughters who intersect with Sister Liu and Sister Li, Jinling is a place that is big and big, and small and small, if there is a famous son, the women on the Qinhuai River should know quickly, especially those who can share a carriage with Sister Li and Sister Liu.
"No, I'm from Kurihara County, hehe, a small local person, it's normal for Miss Chen to not know." Qin Du said with a smile.
"It's not early, let's go in." Li Xiangjun said, after all, the time is not early, and everyone is estimated to have arrived.
The backyard of the restaurant.
This side has been turned into a booth, paved with various celebrity calligraphy and paintings for exhibition, some are calligraphy and paintings of members of the book club, and there are also works by contemporary painting and calligraphy masters
"This is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?"
"It's a fake, right? Isn't it lost a long time ago? ”
"This is genuine, I heard that it was collected by the king of Zhennan, and the king of Zhennan also spent a lot of money to buy it, and it is our honor to bring it to the prince Zhao Xiao, so that we can see it today!"
"No, I'll have to copy one when I get back."
"Hey, this is Tang Gongzi's word? This cursive script has made a breakthrough compared to last year."
"Haha, the little county lord also took out calligraphy today, the little county lord's words have always been so gentle, how to look at it, how to have a kind of beauty, it is rare to see in the calligraphy world."
No one went upstairs, because it hadn't been eaten yet, everyone was chatting in the backyard, commenting on the works on display today, although it was not officially exhibited, but the calligraphy and calligraphy and paintings on display inside, some of them were even higher than those on display.
This is a real book club, no matter where you are, everyone is only talking about literature today, in ancient words, it is qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Here Qin Duan saw an acquaintance, it was Zhao Yingcai, the little prince of Zhennan Wangfu, who was talking to a few friends in the courtyard.
The age difference between the people who came from this book club is quite large, the younger ones are in their teens, and the older ones are estimated to be about 70 years old, both male and female.
Among them, the oldest is known as one of the three great talents in the world, Xie Jin, who is seventy years old this year, and has been living in Jinling since returning to his hometown a few years ago, and is a veteran of the Jinling Book Club.
Xie Jin was sitting on the Taishi chair in the courtyard, surrounded by a group of people, and from time to time, all juniors went over to say hello.
"Senior Xie, your body is still so good?"
"No, it's old, hehe."
"I don't see it, your spirit is full now, and the words you exhibited, but it's still very tough!"
A yard of people, scattered hundreds of people. The people who can come today are all talented people or people with heads and faces or family members, all of them are not light, and the worst ones are also members of the book club, which are also people who are somewhat famous in the Jinling interface.
"Miss Liu is here, oh, Miss Li and Miss Chen are here."
Liu Rus, Li Xiangjun, and Chen Yuanyuan were already in the backyard, and soon a group of people came around, basically all of them were men, and it seemed that beauties were popular everywhere.
As for Qin Dui, who came in behind the three big beauties, basically no one paid attention to him, even the little prince Zhao Yingcai, who was familiar with him, didn't notice him, after all, under the brilliance of several beauties, he was almost negligible.
What's more important is that Qin Duan can be said to be not famous here in Jinling, and he doesn't have too much intersection and head-on conflict with this person from the Jinling Book Club, he has never dealt with him, and everyone doesn't know him at all.
