Chapter 51: The Romance of Mao Xiang (Part 3)

Wow, this is amazing, there is still a leg with Chen Yuanyuan!

Seeing this information on the Internet, Ivan couldn't help but burst into foul language.

Ivan is looking at "Memories of Yingmei'an", a prose sketch written by Mao Xiang, which is said to be used to recall the love story between him and his concubine Qin Huai, the famous Shu Dong Xiaowan.

It is said that the academic community has a high opinion of this prose sketch, saying that it has beautiful words and sincere feelings, so it is compared with Shen Fu's "Six Tales of Floating Life".

This piqued Ivan's interest and he immediately searched for it.

But at the beginning of the article, he saw a text: "There is Chen Ji here, who is good at the victory of the pear orchard, and it is indispensable." ”

This Chen Ji immediately aroused Ivan's curiosity.

He saw in the article that Mao Xiang originally went to visit Dong Xiaowan, but Dong Xiaowan didn't visit, but someone recommended this Chen Ji to him, saying that his color and art are unique, and his name moves Jiangzuo.

Next, Mao Xiang used a long story to tell about his affair with this Chen Ji.

If it was just a sexual affair, Mao Xiang and her actually had a marriage contract, if it weren't for the war that caused this Chen Ji to be robbed, he would have married this Chen Ji as a concubine.

For this, Mao Xiang felt very sorry.

Ivan wondered.

You are obviously interested in Dong Xiaowan, why did you immediately start thinking about other women as soon as you couldn't find Dong Xiaowan, is this the rhythm of seeing one and loving another?

Also, your article is obviously used to mourn Dong Xiaowan, but you spend such a long time writing about this Chen Ji, are you showing off your romantic history?

He found that Mao Xiang spoke highly of this Chen Ji in the article, and his first impression even surpassed Dong Xiaowan, saying that although her talent was not as good as Dong Xiaowan, her appearance and style were above Dong Xiaowan.

Ivan immediately had a strong curiosity about this Chen Ji.

He started looking it up online again.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

This Chen Ji turned out to be the famous Chen Yuanyuan!

Wow, cowman!

After marrying Dong Xiaowan, not to mention, even Chen Yuanyuan took the initiative to send it to the door and begged him to marry as a concubine!

For the ability to bubble up the girl, Ivan had to obey.

He thought to himself, if you really marry Chen Yuanyuan, then maybe there will be nothing to do with Dong Xiaowan, so Dong Xiaowan's fate will not be so miserable, and I don't need to be so tossed by the task.

He even thought, if you really marry Chen Yuanyuan, maybe there will be no Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng because of Chen Yuanyuan, and he surrendered to the Qing army in anger and let the Qing army enter the customs.

In this way, maybe China's history will be rewritten because of your rash moves.

It's really awesome!

Ivan couldn't help but take a closer look at the history of the affair between Mao Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan (1623-1695), originally surnamed Xing, named Yuan, also known as Yuanyuan, also known as Wanfang, was a native of JS Wujin (now Changzhou) in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Chen Yuanyuan was born in a merchant's family, because of the early death of his mother, he was raised by his uncle since he was a child, because his uncle's surname was Chen, so he changed his surname to Chen, and lived in Taohuawu, Suzhou.

Chen Yuanyuan has been smart since he was a child, and he is amazing in the township.

When the valley in the south of the Yangtze River was not on the ground, the uncle-in-law who valued profit and light righteousness sold Yuanyuan to Suzhou Liyuan, that is, he sang opera.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan is very talented in this area.

She made her debut on the stage and played the role of the matchmaker in "The Legend of the West Chamber", because she was as beautiful as a flower, like a cloud, with the sound of warblers and six horses looking up, so that the audience was contemplative and fascinated.

Soon, some celebrities described her as "elegant and elegant, showing off her elegance", with the demeanor of celebrities and celebrities, every time she appeared on the stage, she was bright and outstanding, and at that time, "the audience was broken by it".

As a result, Chen Yuanyuan quickly became famous in Suzhou.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641), Dong Xiaowan left Jinling for some reason and returned to his hometown in Bantang, Suzhou.

Just when Mao Xiang was feeling regretful, a friend recommended Suzhou celebrity Chen Yuanyuan to him.

"His person is light and rhyme, full of flowers, when he is cocooned, he looks at the Hunan skirt with his back, it is really like a lonely luan in the smoke. ”

This is Mao Xiang's description of the first time he saw Chen Yuanyuan in his own article.

When I first saw Chen Yuanyuan, Mao Xiang was conquered by her, and her babbling singing, like a pearl and jade, fascinated Mao Xiang even more.

The talented man is tempted, the beautiful woman is affectionate, the two are in love, and the conversation will be the fourth watch.

Suddenly, the wind and rain suddenly rose, Chen Yuanyuan was in a hurry, and he was about to go home, so he was reluctant to pull the corner of her clothes to make another appointment.

Chen Yuanyuan was also quite moved, and immediately said: "After half a month, let's go to Guangfu to see the plum blossoms of the 'cold clouds'!"

It's a pity that half a month later, he has to go to Lianghu to pick up his mother back.

So the two had to agree to wait until August and go to Tiger Hill to enjoy the laurels together.

But when Mao Xiang came back from picking up his mother and passed by Suzhou again, he heard that Chen Yuanyuan was snatched away by Haoqiang.

Mao Xiang talked to his friend about Chen Yuanyuan, regretted that he was not rich, and repeatedly sighed that "beautiful women are hard to get again", and his friend told him a surprise: it was the fake Chen Yuanyuan who was robbed, and the place where the real Chen Yuanyuan is hiding now is very close to here, and he can lead the way and accompany Mao Xiang to see her.

So Mao Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan met again, Chen Yuanyuan saw the deceased, very surprised, because she had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, frightened, lonely and desolate, I really wanted to have a long talk with him all night, and wanted to make a promise.

Mao Xiang hesitated.

Although Chen Yuanyuan is gorgeous, in his opinion, he is just the best object for hunting beauty, but when it comes to marriage, he is not mentally ready, so he made an excuse that he couldn't worry about his mother's safety on the boat, and went back overnight.

Chen Yuanyuan was unwilling, and the next morning he put on light makeup to visit Mao Xiang's mother, preparing to tackle curvy love, and insisted on inviting him to her house again.

On a moonlit night, Chen Yuanyuan once again confessed to him his lifelong wish.

Mao Xiang politely refused.

He said that his father was surrounded by the rebels, and that he did not have the heart to think about it for the time being, and that he would wait for his father to break the siege.

In February of the following year, Mao Xiang's father was relieved, and Mao Xiang started to go to Chen Yuanyuan again.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Yuanyuan was really snatched away this time, and the person who robbed him was Tian Hongyu, the father of Emperor Chongzhen's favorite concubine.

A relationship just ended without a problem.

For this reason, Mao Xiang felt quite sorry and wrote this love into his "Memories of Yingmei'an".

Compared with the vagueness of the white and white articles of Mao Xiang's self-reported articles, the vernacular text translated on the Internet according to the "Memories of Yingmei'an" is much more straightforward, which makes Ivan read it with relish.

He couldn't help but sigh again: Talent!

This presumptuous pickle girl kung fu is really first-class!

What surprised Ivan the most was that it was said that Chen Yuanyuan was still a good sister that Dong Xiaowan met after returning to Suzhou.

Mao Xiang almost won the sisters!

He couldn't help but think, if he really wants to beat the mandarin ducks, can he make a fuss about the amorous affair?

But he also found that Dong Xiaowan didn't seem to care too much about Mao Xiang's affair.

Not only did she not mind, but when she married Mao Xiang as a concubine, she also became a good wife and mother of the Mao family, and won unanimous praise from the Mao family.

Dong Xiaowan's heart is a little too big!

Alas, it's better to be ancient!
