From ancient times to the Republic of China period, women's social status has always been in a relatively low state, and in the chaotic world, it is even more difficult for women, and many women are forced to fall into the wind and dust because they are cornered.
Ye Hao, a famous prostitute in the Republic of China period, was one of them, she was originally a rich family, looking like a city, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When the world was in turmoil, her family was in the middle of the road, and she was forced to live in the wind and dust in order to make a living.
During her livelihood, she fell in love with Yuan Kewen, the son of Yuan Shikai. Originally thought that happiness was coming, but she did not know that bad news was waiting for her. She happily waited for the groom to unveil his red hijab, but what came into her eyes was Yuan Shikai's face. What was even more bleak was that she eventually died tragically on the street, wrapped in a straw mat, and ended this tragic life.
The times are in turmoil
In 1982, Ye Hao was born in Nanjing to a wealthy family, his father was a businessman, relying on a shrewd and capable mind to talk about the family's business in an orderly manner, and became a local celebrity by his own efforts.
As the youngest child in the family, Ye Hao is also a little girl, naturally a treasure held in the palm of her parents' hands, and she has lived a worry-free and happy life since she was a child.
Ye Hao not only had a bright-eyed and toothed appearance from an early age, but also because the literary atmosphere in Nanjing at that time was extremely concentrated. Therefore, Ye Hao has received a particularly good education since she was a child.
When she grew up, she was more talented in poetry and song, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can be described as a generation of talented women.
But this kind of rich life Ye Hao also only enjoyed for more than a decade, when she was a teenager, the last emperor of the Qing government of our country announced his abdication, the Western powers began to look at the huge "fat meat" of China, and the situation began to become turbulent.
Later, the Japanese invaders directly wreaked havoc in China. As the situation became more and more severe, and the business became more and more bad, the Ye family gradually went into decline. Ye Hao's father looked at the declining family situation, and he was already old, he really couldn't withstand such a blow, and he died not long ago.
After Ye Father's death, only Ye Hao's brothers could take over the family's business, but because they had been too indulgent to them before, they didn't learn any techniques all day long, so that at the critical time, no one could carry the Ye family's banner, but still watched the remaining family property continue to squander as before.
Not surprisingly, the Ye family eventually went bankrupt, but Ye Hao, as a young girl who had just reached her teenage years, was really desperate.
In order to make a living, he could only go to the Qinglou to beg for food by relying on his excellent appearance.
Fall in love with Kevin Lee
Because she can sing and dance since she was a child, even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also proficient, and at this time, Ye Hao has also grown, and she quickly became a very famous local Qinglou head card, I don't know how many rich men have spent thousands of dollars on it, just to meet.
Since ancient times, "a lady is a lady, a gentleman is a good gentleman", one of these many rich princes who have come to visit is Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Shikai. Yuan Kewen has had the ability to never forget since he was a child, so he is particularly loved by Yuan Shikai, and even has the idea of wanting him to inherit the mantle, but Yuan Kewen prefers poetry and songs to literature and art compared to politics.
Because of Yuan Shikai's excessive pampering, he developed a debauched and unruly personality, and he was even more proficient in eating, drinking and gambling, and after he heard about Ye Hao, he planned to come to see Fangrong.
After meeting Ye Hao, he fell in love with Ye Hao at first sight, and both of them liked poetry and song, and they liked it to the extreme, and Ye Hao also moved his heart to this handsome young master, and after the two spent a few days together, they quickly fell in love.
However, at that time, Yuan Kewen came to Nanjing, originally intended to do things for Yuan Shikai. When it's done, he needs to go back to his life.
Before leaving, he made a promise to Ye Hao to keep together for the rest of his life, asking Ye Hao to wait for him to return.
At this time, Ye Hao felt that her heart was very sweet, so after Yuan Kewen returned, she waited for him to come back and marry herself, and also gave a photo of herself to Yuan Kewen, not knowing that what awaited her would be a bigger abyss.
Bad news came
Yuan Kewen, who went back to his life, wanted to quickly solve the matter, and then continue to return to Nanjing to find Ye Hao, who had his heart in mind, but who knew that Ye Hao's photo inadvertently fell from him.
Yuan Shikai saw the woman in the photo and asked Yuan Kewen who she was, because at that time, people's thinking was still in the feudal period, and for marriage matters, it was still the fate of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Moreover, as Ye Hao's qinglou woman, Yuan Shikai would definitely not agree.
Therefore, when Yuan Kewen faced his father's questioning, he did not dare to tell the truth.
In desperation, he could only tell Yuan Shikai that this was a beauty he had specially found for his father.
Yuan Shikai was very happy when he heard it, and he kept praising Yuan Kewen for his ability to do things, because the beauty in the photo was exactly the type he liked, and then he asked Yuan Kewen to quickly go to Nanjing to pick up this woman as a relative.
Yuan Kewen couldn't say that he was bitter, and he felt very uncomfortable thinking that the woman he liked wanted to marry his father, but he had no way but to do it. Yuan Kewen returned to Nanjing, asked Ye Hao to clean up a little, and then took her back to Beijing.
At that time, Ye Hao always thought that he wanted to marry the person he liked, and he returned to Beijing with Yuan Kewen with great joy. However, when she happily put on her wedding dress, got on the flower palanquin, worshiped heaven and earth, and entered the cave room, she found that it was her father-in-law Yuan Shikai who married her.
This was undoubtedly a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Ye Hao at that time, but Yuan Shikai's power was so great that she had no ability to resist, and in this way, Ye Hao became Yuan Shikai's sixth aunt.
After marriage, Ye Hao gave birth to 3 daughters and 2 sons to Yuan Shikai, and his life was still relatively stable, and later Yuan Shikai's perverse practices were spurned by the people of the whole country when he was alive, and Yuan Shikai was depressed in his heart and died of illness soon after.
After Yuan Shikai's death, because of the regulations of Yuan Shikai's lifetime, Ye Hao lost his financial resources, and in this war-torn era, Ye Hao, who was penniless, died alone on the street, and her body was still wrapped in a straw mat by well-wishers and buried in the soil.
brief summary:
The chaotic world of war has forced an originally happy and happy Miss Qianjin to fall into the dust, and what is even more tragic is that she has become a concubine of others, and even after death, she is only wrapped in a straw mat, which is inevitably regrettable.
While regretting others, we should understand that the current peaceful life is really hard-won, because with the efforts of our predecessors, we have avoided our drifting zero, and we must cherish the happy and beautiful life now.
