He is a genius among prostitutes in Jinling. Born with beautiful appearance, clever and charming, he was one of the "Eight Wonders of Jinling" in the late Ming Dynasty since he was 15 years old.
Xiaowan is high-minded and rigid, despises powerful people, and is very close to the upright Ba 'she Party members, and is regarded as a confidant in troubled times. One day, Aunt Li, the principal of Mei Xiang Lou
, gathered social leaders Zhang Tianru, Chen Dingsheng, Fang Mizhi and Hou Fangyu, accompanied by famous prostitutes Li Xiang, Bian Yujing and
Koubaimen, and Xiaowan was also in the meeting. Zhang Tianru had heard of Xiaowan's name for a long time, and when he saw it, he sighed, "It really lives up to its reputation."
When the wine was in full swing, the Fu She Party members lamented their internal troubles and foreign invasion, and they were impassioned, and Xiaowan shared their admiration. Many famous prostitutes played piano music to solve the worries of strong men.
It was Xiaowan's turn. She half held the pipa and played a song "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", which was praised by everyone. Seeing that her artistic talents are all high and elegant, Zhang Tianru took advantage of the excitement to make a war, and wanted to form a very good relationship with her and the romantic talented person who was a rising star of the Fuxing Society, and all the celebrities clapped their hands and said that she was the best.
Xiaowan was attracted by the talent of the son, but she never met him. When she met Mr. Zhang and others as matchmakers, she was secretly pleased. Maobijiang has become famous in the world since Tianfuzi Temple jointly wrote an angry book "Leaving the capital to prevent disorderly public disclosure" in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and beat Ruan Dacheng, the remnant of the eunuch. At this time, I am taking an exam in
Nanjing. Try to have a drink with Chen Dingsheng and Fang Mizhi at Li Xiang's place. Everyone mentioned Zhang Tianru's words and praised Xiaowan < P >. Sun Mao, who smells Xiao Wan's evil and clean, has the heart to admire Fang, and immediately went to visit her with all his friends in the fishing lane. I don't want the gatekeeper to humiliate him and not let him in. Back at Meixianglou, Li Xiang asked him why he was unhappy, Fang Mi's words and details. Hou Fangyu, who had just returned from Yang Longyou, quickly explained: "Xiaowan has been waiting for the son to come to the party, but Lord Zhu Tongrui of Wuyi Lane is arty. The day before yesterday, he sent someone to accompany Dong Xiaowan at a reception with Yang Longyou in Bian Yujing, but Xiaowan was not at home and refused to go back. Madam urged
to be late for the party, and Lord Zhu deliberately made it difficult for her. Xiaowan was upright and outspoken, contradicted him and threw away the banquet. Zhu Tongrui hated her so much that
she died. Yang Longyou got the news that Xiaowan had gone to Wujiang to avoid disaster. I left a letter before I left, asking Li Xiang to send a message to Mao Gongzi and make an appointment to Suzhou for a while. "
I ventured across the border to listen to words and read letters, greatly respecting Xiaowan's integrity and elegance, and immediately went to Suzhou for a meeting. When I arrived in Suzhou, I really saw Xiaowan, and they were in love.
They made an alliance and vowed to be bosom friends together. It's just that I'm afraid I have to do something urgent for the rehabilitation club, and I'm leaving Suzhou North, so I'm scheduled to meet Xiao Wan next spring.
after the son left, Xiaowan closed her door for a few days to wait for the coming year. I don't want to risk Hengyang, the son of Yangzhou, to come to the book. My father was wronged and went to prison, and his life was in danger. As a dutiful son, he immediately went to Beijing, went to various activities, and met the emperor. A memorial shocked the court, and his father < P > was unjustly out of prison. It has been three years since he was transferred back to Nanjing.
Xiao Wan has been miserable for three years. When she was seeing her son off to the north in Suzhou, Dou He, a villain, spied on her and forced her to have an affair with Xiao Wan
. Xiaowan refused to accept it. Dou He gathered hooligans to make trouble every day, which made Xiaowan restless. Year after year, there is no news from the son
, Xiaowan is determined not to accept guests, her family assets are exhausted, her debts are increasing, and Dou He and others are entangled, so she can't survive in Suzhou. Xiaowan
had to run around in the name of traveling, avoiding debts and disasters. She was miserable, and she was very homesick and became seriously ill. By the time it's easy to find her, people are dying.
They met after a long time, and they both wept bitterly. After complaining about suffering and expressing affection, Mao Zi had to go to Nanjing to try in the autumn. Only
can we meet and leave, and Xiao Wan's heart ached, but for the sake of his future, he had to send him all the way to Zhenjiang and return to Suzhou to stay temporarily
. When the local ruffians and creditors saw her return, they flocked to Xiaowan, who was humiliated and tried to die several times and was rescued. Hearing that Dou He wanted < P > to rob people, she had to buy a boat at night and go to Nanjing to find a son. After many twists and turns, I was able to meet the childe in Qian Qian, the leader of Donglin.
It just happened that a letter from Suzhou said that the creditors were pressing for debts every day. If Xiaowan didn't return to Suzhou to pay back the money, Dong's family would be set on fire. Helpless, they begged for
to sue everywhere. Liu Tai-shou, the brother of the son-in-arms, took Xiaowan back to Suzhou first. After the son-in-arms received his father, he raised money to pay off the debt and redeem Xiaowan in Suzhou.
Xiaowan returned to Suzhou and was robbed by Dou He soon. The Qinhuai sisters and the gifted scholar of the Fushe Society were very angry. They asked Qian Qianyi, the then courtier of the Southern Ming Dynasty, to meet the magistrate in Suzhou, so as to rescue Xiaowan and pay off the debt. At this time, Maogongzi returned to Nanjing, raised money and went to Suzhou
to get rid of the prostitute status for Xiaowan and get married at Rugao's home.
From then on, they had a good time. Li Zicheng went to Beijing, and then the Qing soldiers invaded the Central Plains and sent troops south. Mao and Dong
fled to Yancheng, risking the son's illness, and Xiaowan carefully served him. When his illness improved, the world became Qing Dynasty. When they returned to Rugao
, they were disheartened and lived in seclusion without being an official. Xiaowan became ill from overwork and died of serious illness at the age of 27. A peerless prostitute, so
ruined in troubled times.
She also has Dong Tang, whose meat is handed down from generation to generation.
