Chivalrous prostitute, for this term everyone seems to be not familiar with, but after understanding, the heart will unconsciously awe, and even moved. Although they are forced to fall into the red dust in desperation, they have a proud bone, not only chivalrous justice, integrity, especially the chivalrous prostitutes in the chaotic world, which is even more admirable.
Xiao Fengxian was one of them.
However, her story is somewhat sad, so that future generations can't watch it, and use literary works to repair her imperfect life.
So today let's walk into her world together and see how this heroine persisted, what contributions she made, and the sadness of her last moments in life when the Republic of China was in turmoil. Perhaps we can find something worth learning from and learning from.
Life is in the world, and the spirit is possessed, and Xiao Fengxian is like this.
Speaking of her origin, although it is not very noble, she is at least a disciple of the Eight Flags. When the Qing Dynasty had not yet perished, people saw the young Phoenix Immortals and called out to Miss.
However, the superficial scenery could not hide the trend of its decline, not to mention the precarious situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is said that his father's military attaché, because of the continuous defeat in foreign wars, was dismissed by the imperial court shortly after, and then died of depression within a few days.
At this time, Xiao Fengxian was still young, and he was born of a concubine in a partial house, so the master mother drove their mother and daughter out of the house and left them to fend for themselves.
After that, Xiao Fengxian followed her mother around and relied on her mother as a maid to support her.
Soon after, however, bad news spread that her mother had died of sadness and overwork. Fortunately, a wet nurse surnamed Zhang took her in, because she was not married, childless, and daughterless, so she was dependent on Xiao Fengxian for her life.
In the chaotic world, there are many children like Xiao Fengxian, and their fate is often more miserable, especially girls, who basically have to enter the qinglou or brothel and become a laughing guest.
Xiao Fengxian is naturally no exception, in order to make a living, she learns to sell songs.
After completing her studies, she followed her master to the north and south, and Xiao Fengxian's stage name came at this time.
With the passage of time, Xiao Fengxian gradually grew up and became a handsome young girl. Therefore, it has also attracted the lightness of many prodigal children.
However, her personality is strong, she is upright, and she can treat things calmly, so she can always resolve them one by one through her own wisdom. But long-term is not the way, you must have a big backer.
So she decided to go to Beijing and use her singing strength to find a big qinglou to protect herself.
It is worth noting here that unlike brothels, the Qinglou is only a place that provides music and art, so it will not be bullied by others. Therefore, when Xiao Fengxian came to the capital and entered the Qinglou, there was no longer any trouble before.
Of course, a generation of chivalrous prostitutes was born.
In fact, if her singing skills are good, there are many fans to cheer her up, and she can only be a famous prostitute at best, then how can she be called a chivalrous prostitute?
This is to talk about a person named Cai Yi, which is also her fate in life.
Cai Yi was a famous revolutionary in modern times, a great patriot, and of course he also had outstanding military talent.
At first, the two were not familiar with each other, and Cai Yi was always troubled by Yuan Shikai's suppression, so he would go to the alley to listen to music when there was nothing to do. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he would always dress up deliberately and look like a down-and-out businessman.
However, Xiao Fengxian had never seen anyone who had gone south and north, and she could see at a glance that Cai Yi was extraordinary, so every time she sang a song, she always treated each other with sincerity and thought that Cai Yi was a poor man like an old bustard.
After this long time, Xiao Fengxian felt more and more that this person was not simple, and even had feelings. And Cai Yi was also quite moved, so he told her his identity, and at the same time told her his troubles.
Sure enough, this man is a man with achievements, which makes her heart move even more.
However, Cai Yi was very troubled, because he opposed Yuan Shikai's restoration, so he was monitored by secret agents, and now with his own prestige Yuan Shikai did not dare to move him, in case the restoration was successful, presumably his fate would not be much better.
Therefore, the only way to break the situation at the moment is to leave the capital, but there is no way to get out.
After hearing this, Xiao Fengxian secretly made up her mind, not to mention that this man was her favorite, even if it was for the future of the country, she also had to find a way to help him.
The two of them thought about it, and finally thought of a clever plan, that is, to pretend that they were addicted to Xiao Fengxian and could not extricate themselves, and then acted together with their mother and wife, pretending to marry Xiao Fengxian.
After that, he fled under the pretext of going out to play with Xiao Fengxian, so as not to arouse the suspicion of those secret agents.
Sure enough, the spies thought that Cai Yi had fallen, so they let down their vigilance, and Cai Yi successfully escaped, and then went to the south to gather an army to fight Yuan Shikai.
After the news spread, people admired Xiao Fengxian's righteous deeds.
However, although Yuan Shikai lost, Cai Yi also died of tuberculosis 2 months later.
Learning of the general's death, Xiao Fengxian was also grief-stricken, and could only pick up the pipa in his hand and play another song "Zhiyin" for the general with tears in his eyes.
Xiao Fengxian is strong, but after all, she is a dusty woman, and her fate is in the hands of others.
She then married twice, but neither was satisfactory, one was a warlord and the other was a boilermaker after liberation.
However, she never had children, and after the death of her second husband, she lived with the daughter of her second husband.
However, Xiao Fengxian has never forgotten Cai E, she has always treasured a photo of Cai E, if she encounters anything annoying or has any happy things, she always has to take out the photo, and then share her own things with the men in the photo.
However, many years later, when people asked Cai Yi's eldest son about the "love of Xiao Fengxian", his eldest son did not feel anything, but told everyone that his father had never loved her from beginning to end.
This meaning is also very obvious, that is, Xiao Fengxian is just being sentimental.
"The mouth of the world, the ghost of eating people", no matter what others say, Xiao Fengxian is still so stubborn, even if she suffers from Senile dementia in her old age, the only thing she remembers is Cai Yi, so that she clings to the photo before she dies and does not let go.
Since this fruitless love ended, it has left the world with endless doubts.
In order to commemorate Xiao Fengxian's righteous deeds and her touching and profound love story, the world specially created the literary work "Zhiyin", which also made up for our regrets a little.
