Song Lian walked through the North Wing and saw that Mei Shan's window was hung with pink tulle curtains, and the room was filled with the aroma of some grass and flowers.
It should be said that a beautiful woman will not only attract men's attention, but also make women curious. Song Lian, who had just entered the Chen family compound, went to visit after hearing that the third wife, Mei Shan, had the appearance of a country and a city, but unfortunately Mei Shan did not take her seriously and directly let YaHuan turn her away.
However, song lian, instead of being provoked by this rudeness, aroused greater interest, so she planned to peek through the window, and the curtain was startled, and Mei Shan was also observing her behind the curtain.
It can be said that among Chen Zuoqian's four wives, this third wife is the most charming and moving, and she lives the most arrogantly in this courtyard, but under the poison of feudal society, she also paid the most tragic price for her arrogance.
01 Pampered and proud Mei Shan
Mei Shan is a bitter person, she doesn't even know where her home is, let alone who her parents are. In the early years, she sang Danjiao in the Peking Opera Caotai team, and Chen Zuoqian often went backstage to ask her to dinner. After coming and going, he followed Chen Zuoqian as the third wife.
In Chen Zuoqian's own words, he loved and feared Mei Shan. If Mei Shan was happy, she would listen to whatever the old man said. If he was not happy, Mei Shan would scold his ancestors for eight generations.
Chen Zuoqian himself knew that the reason why Mei Shan was so bold was because of his many years of pampering. But Mei Shan would indeed be a demon, and on the wedding night of Song Lian and Chen Zuoqian, she did not have the duty to send a lady to call the old man over, saying that she was suffering from an acute illness and was going to die. At this time, Chen Zuoqian was embarrassed, and muttered in her mouth, what tricks she was playing.
It can be seen that Chen Zuoqianming knows that Mei Shan is provoking trouble, but he is not willing to make her sad. However, Song Lian was very sensible to send a step to the old man, let him go to see it quickly, something was not good.
You see, how arrogant Mei Shan is, by virtue of her own favor, even dare to sabotage the wedding night of others. But anyone with a little brain can see that this is blatantly shouting, but because of Chen Zuoqian's partiality towards her, Song Lian's Shunshui people are better looking.
02 Mei Shan with personality
The relaxation of the relationship between Song Lian and Mei Shan stemmed from a period of Peking Opera. One morning, Mei Shan's singing voice made The Song Lian full of tears. Mei Shan asked, are you crying? Aren't you happy to live? Why cry?
Song Lian explained the reason, you sang really emotionally, and I was sad to hear it. This answer made Mei Shan feel as if she had found a confidant, and her eyes couldn't help but show kindness.
Mei Shan said to Song Lian that it was originally a drama, and it was not worth it to be sad. Doing a good job can deceive others, and doing a bad job can only deceive yourself.
In just a few words, they understood the helplessness and unavoidableness of life, but Mei Shan's words could only be clearly explained to Song Lian, which could be described as one sentence worth ten thousand sentences.
So when Chen Zuoqian let Mei Shan enter the house to give herself a paragraph, Mei Shan raised an eyebrow and arrogantly replied, and the old woman was unwilling.
Mei Shan's temper impressed Song Lian, a courage she had never had as an educated student. Therefore, even if Song Lian did not like Mei Shan's sharpness, she began to appreciate Mei Shan's personality.
03 Die for love
It is reasonable to say that in this deep mansion compound, the old master Chen Zuoqian represents the supreme power and status, and the future of his wives is closely related to him, so they change the favor and welcome of the Fa. However, Mei Shan was different, in her eyes, Chen Zuoqian was just a dry old man.
I think that when Mei Shan chose to give Chen Zuoqian a concubine, it was his money and status. Now that Chen Zuo is over fifty years old, due to too much intercourse, his body has become a crane.
So Mei Shan confessed to Song Lian that as long as he didn't come to me for more than five days, I would find a companion, and I couldn't live a widowed life.
Song Lian soon found Mei Shan and a doctor on the mahjong table, and the small movements made by the two people covering their legs under the table were all seen by Song Lian. However, Song Lian was young after all, and she was frightened by this out-of-the-ordinary thing, and secretly said in her heart, Good you Mei Shan is also too crazy to live.
Even in modern times, there will be no good fruit for women who steal love, let alone in feudal society. In the Chen family, the punishment for women who steal love is to throw a well, while Mei Shan dares to provoke family rules in pursuit of freedom and individuality.
Song Lian advised her to be careful, but she ignored it and said to Song Lian, as long as I can be happy, I will go out with the knife.
It's just that mei shan went to the appointment with a thousand manners, and the air changed color. But when she came back, she was unusually embarrassed, she was covered in a shawl, and was grabbed by the second wife with the family and dragged back.
In the back, mei shan's ignorant son, still holding his mother's leather shoes, ran and shouted, shoes fall off, shoes fall off.
Mei Shan was locked in her room, and she sang a sad song for herself at the end: sighing red face and thin life before life, happy marriage Fu Dongliu... In the middle of the night, Chen Zuoqian let Jia Ding throw Mei Shan into the well, which directly frightened Song Lian, who witnessed the truth.
Some people say that Mei Shan's tragic fate is that she does not keep the way of women, which is self-inflicted. But from a woman's point of view, I have deep sympathy for her.
In a certain sense, Mei Shan represents a kind of struggle against male power, knowing what kind of fate will be, but still has no remorse, which is an indictment of feudal etiquette.
For Mei Shan, she is charming and beautiful, and is extremely pampered by men, but in the end she has a good relationship because of her husband's "dark disease" and risking being thrown into a well, which is a tragedy itself is a lament for women who cannot control their own destiny.
