In the eyes of Teacher Wen Tingjun, she is probably still the innocent girl. Even if he was hurt by the world and went down the road of self-destruction of reputation and competition for favors and murder, it was by no means a manifestation of his own heart. The reason why she became like this is probably because of the urgent connection with the two men she has loved.
They are selfish and indifferent, but they have met Yu Youwei, whose hearts are hot, and have since become a strange conversation. This story is as splendid as the spring foliage, but how unfortunate it is.
Approaching the fish mystery is like opening a window in a dull life. Looking out the window at the scenery, even if it is miserable, it is still mesmerizing and lingering.
start
Probably in the late spring when Wang Changling wrote "Yang Hua fell to the end of the rules", Wen Tingjun lived in Chang'an and got to know this little girl named Yu Youwei.
She was only eleven or twelve years old. Wen Tingjun was drunk all day because of his career, and a while ago he was drunk and fighting with people, and one of his front teeth was knocked out. This also makes his image closer to "Zhong Kui".
On this day, as always, he was strolling drunk, and suddenly heard a crisp singing. Teacher Wen went to explore with curiosity and found that it was a childish little girl. After a few words of conversation, I found that she was clever and generous, so I asked if I read. Yu Youwei probably replied as modestly as Daiyu: "I know a few words a little." ”
According to historical records, Yu Youwei was born into poverty and did not have good conditions for education. The Late Tang Dynasty Emperor Fumei's "Three Waters Xiaomu" said more directly: "Yu Youwei is just a daughter of the advocate family." So her learning experience also came from the teaching workshop. Wen Tingjun heard this kind of song in the Red Chamber Chu Pavilion, and it was not surprising to think about it. However, Teacher Wen was interested in this child and asked him to compose a poem on the spot. When the little girl saw that someone was tested, she did not forgive her, and in a moment she wrote a poem:
The green color is even deserted, and the smoke is in the far building. Shadow shop autumn water surface, flowers fall fishing for people's heads. Root old Tibetan fish cave, low branch passenger boat. Xiao Xiao's stormy night, the horror of the dream added to the sorrow.
Although Yu Youwei's song "Endowed with Riverside Willow" is a child's work, the sentence "Shadow shop autumn water surface, flowers fall on the fishing head" has been revealed. Wen Tingjun was greatly impressed and offered to act as the child's teacher, teaching her poetry and song. It was probably such a brief acquaintance that became the beginning of her tragic life for more than ten years.
elapse
According to general accounts, Wen Tingjun was thirty-four years older than Yu Xuanji. The period during which Wen Tingjun left the capital and went to Sui County to join the Xushang shogunate in Shannan's Eastern Province was the first separation with Yu Youwei shortly after his acquaintance. Yu Youwei's song "Sending Wen Feiqing on Winter Nights" was probably written at this time.
Pondering and searching for poetry under the lamp, I did not sleep for a long night to be afraid of the cold. The wooden leaves in the courtyard are sad and windy, and the screen windows are dark in the moon.
The evacuation is not idle and the wish is finally fulfilled, and the prosperity and decline are empty to see the original heart. At the sycamore, the twilight bird chirps around the forest.
At this time, her title was "Wen Feiqing", not Teacher Wen, and it seemed that in this girl's heart, Wen Tingjun's position had slowly changed. He was no longer a preacher and a seductress, but a lovely man.
Teacher Wen did not actually have so-called love for him as a student. Many theories tend to be that Wen Tingjun is ashamed of his ugly appearance, and hinders his identity as a teacher, and finally fails Yu Youwei. But if you think about it, Wen Tingjun's reputation has been completely damaged. Would he still care about a concubine who was more than thirty years younger than himself? Not loving may be a reason. But more importantly, after decades of suffering, he had just entered the shogunate and begun his destiny. All he could think about was to make greater progress, and he had no time to take care of his children's feelings.
It was autumn again, and Yu Xuanji missed Teacher Wen and wrote a sincere poem "Sending Fei Qing":
The steps are chaotic, and the smoke of Tingke is clear. In the middle of the month, the neighbors play music, and the mountains upstairs are bright. Zhen Mo was cool and the yaoqin was hateful. Ji Jun is lazy in writing, and the substrate comforts autumn feelings.
The song in the moon is not from Chang'e, but from the neighbor's daughter. Who is this girl next door? I think it was herself. Standing upstairs, the mountains in the distance became clearer. Although this link is simple, it will silently exude the hatred, which is more tempting than the direct expression of the latter two couplets. Therefore, it was passed down as a good sentence for a while, which greatly increased the fame of Yu Youwei.
What about Wen Tingjun's attitude towards her? But I didn't even bother to write a letter. Among the fifty surviving poems of Yu Youwei, the ones directly signed to Wen Tingjun were actually only two. But judging from the sentiments in these two poems, she must have written more than that. Yu Youwei fantasized about getting the love of Teacher Wen, who may just think that the girl was beginning to conceive spring, so she introduced her to the object.
high tide
Around the time when Wen Tingjun was a staff member, he met the young man named Li Yi. In the twelfth year of Da Zhong (858), Li Yizhuangyuan and the first.
Wen Tingjun was very satisfied with Li Yi's talent and character, and even his career prospects, so he introduced his young disciple Yu Youwei to him. Yu Youwei did not accept it at first, but under Teacher Wen's cold refusal, Li Yi's warmth gradually became a straw in her life, so the two fell in love. However, Li Yi, as a champion, naturally only marries such a happy woman with no background. His wife is likely to be the daughter of a certain official, who was ruthless and willful from an early age, and after Li Yi married his wife, he took Yu Youweina as a concubine.
After becoming a concubine, with feelings as the foundation, Yu Youwei's life should have been happy and satisfying. However, Li Yi's wife was a figure like Wang Xifeng, and her husband was not allowed to approach this concubine, and even put her to death. Li Yi is also known for being afraid of his wife, and every time he goes out, he only lets his daughter-in-law follow, and Yu Youwei can only find a place to settle. So, this extremely talented woman showed her amazing side again.
Spring, separating the two places, she wrote "Spring Love Send zi'an":
The mountain road is steep and dangerous, and there is no worry about suffering. Ice pin far away pity Qingyun, snow far cold peak want jade posture. Don't listen to Fan Song Spring Sick Wine, Hugh Recruit Idlers Night Greedy Chess. If the pine bandit stone alliance is long, it will be later than the wings and flaps. Although I hate to go alone in winter, I see the full moon at the end of the day. Don't give anything to give, tears fall a poem.
"Don't listen to all the songs of spring sick wine, hugh invite idlers to greedy chess at night", listen, this is not like all the wives in the world say to their husbands?
"Stop drinking, you're going to get sick." Don't have anything to do to recruit a group of people to play chess, you have to do something serious. What's the point? - Think of me, write me a letter. Yu Youwei wrote this poem with tears in her eyes and sent it to Li Yi. He might reply, "Come on. So Yu Xiaowei set off. Wait until you get to Ezhou. The two lived across the river again. Yu Youwei wrote "Sending Zi'an Across the Han River":
Jiangnan Jiangbei is sad, and the acquaintances remember each other in the air. Mandarin ducks lie warm in Shapu, and partridges fly idly in the orange grove. The song in the smoke is faint, and the moon is dark. Thousands of miles away, listening to the family anvil.
Mandarin ducks are amphibious, partridges are flying, and I am alone. The song is faint, and the moon is dark. Although it is close at hand, it is far away from the end of the world. Between Yu Youwei and Li Yi, after all, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. After that, she went to Gangneung alone and wrote the most classic poem "Gangneung Sorrows and Hopes for Zi'an":
The maple leaves are thousands of branches, and the river bridge hides the twilight sail late. The heart of the remembrance is like the water of the West River, and the day and night flow east without rest.
As soon as this poem came out, Teacher Wen's grievances were all written in vain. Even his "oblique veins are leisurely, and the intestines are broken", perhaps based on this. It is said that Wen Tingjun is good at writing about women, but he pays attention to appearance, and yu Youwei's true temperament is blank, and he compares the teacher at once.
Yu Youwei's love poem did not get a reply from Li Yi, so she left discouraged. Go to Xianyiguan monasticism, the Dharma number is mysterious.
end
According to the "Tang Liangjing City Fang Examination", "Pro-Ren Fang. Southwest corner, Xianyi female crown view. "The place where Yu Xuanji qingxiu is actually a prosperous place of song and dance, gentle and rich. At first, she thought of getting as far away from the red dust as possible, but soon, it became "Luo Bao Bao belt for Jun Xie, Yan Ge Zhao Dance for Jun Kai." ”
Yu Xuanji not only befriended the rich men of the capital, but also belittled himself without a bottom line. The women who practiced with her also looked the same. They even quarreled over a man and fought. For the little girl who still simply fantasizes about youthful love, she seems to see her former self, so she bluntly sends a proverb - "Gift to the Neighbor":
Shame covers the sleeves, and worries about the spring lazy makeup.
Easy to ask for priceless treasure, rare to have a heart.
Tears lurked on the pillow, and the intestines were cut off between the flowers.
Since he could spy on Song Yu, why should he hate Wang Chang?
This is exhorting the neighbor's daughter, but also telling her own experience. She cried and laughed, "I used to be as stupid and naïve as you." But after the ruthless indifference of the world, everything suddenly became clear. If you can get these sentient people now, why resent the ruthlessness of your predecessors? It's just a passing cloud. ”
Soon, Yu Xuanji suspected that the maid Lu Qiu was cheating on her lover, so he beat her to death. Green Warp was unjustly flogged and swore a poisoned oath when he was dying: If the Heavenly Dao is still there, and the soul is not scattered after death, there will be no fish mystery to continue to commit adultery in this world!
This vow is too true and comes too quickly. Immediately, Yu Xuanji was caught by Jing Zhaoyin and sentenced to death. The time is in the ninth year of Ham Thong. At this time, Wen Tingjun had been dead for two years. He probably wouldn't have thought that his original strong matchmaking would directly change this girl's life. However, if they could do it all over again, they would probably still be like that.
