In 1954, 54-year-old Xiao Fengxian died in tears, clutching Cai Wei's photo in his hand. When Cai Wei's daughter learned about it, she said with disdain: "Little Mistress!" It's really pathetic! ”
Later generations lamented that Xiao Fengxian was crazy about love, and spent her life waiting for a love, saying that she and Cai Wei were the most miserable love stories in the Republic of China, and the two were confidants of each other, but because of practical reasons, they could not be combined.
Xiao Fengxian, formerly known as Zhu Xiaofeng.
She was originally the daughter of a military attaché in Hangzhou, with a good background and no worries about eating and drinking, but under the turmoil of the times, Xiaofeng Xian's family fell into the middle, and she was taken out and raised by her nanny at a young age.
Unexpectedly, her nanny sold her into a brothel because she was greedy for money.
Because Xiao Fengxian received an education when she was young, could read and write, the literate Qinglou women at that time were treated much higher than illiterate.
Therefore, among the guests received by Xiao Fengxian, its Chinese people account for the majority, although Xiao Fengxian's appearance is not outstanding, but with his melancholy temperament and high cultural level, he is still familiar.
And Cai Wei, as an ambitious general, should have nothing to do with the woman in Willow Lane, but met driven by fate.
In October 1913, Yuan Shikai transferred Cai Wei to Beijing.
At present, the most common theory is that Cai Wei's outstanding military ability is also highly appreciated by Yuan Shikai, who once said of Cai: "The essence of this person is that of Song Jiaoren or not matched." ”
Therefore, Yuan Shikai was naturally a little jealous of this extremely commanding general, so he transferred him to Beijing, saying that he was promoted, in fact, it was convenient to monitor, so as not to make any moves from him.
Cai Wei, who was monitored day and night, was naturally extremely depressed in his heart, so he planned to go to the Qinglou to relax and relax.
He and Xiao Fengxian met at this time, and after Xiao Fengxian learned Cai Wei's identity, he was naturally full of panic at first, lest he serve badly.
On this day, Xiao Fengxian entered the room with a bowl of sugar water, and she looked at Cai Wei timidly: "This is rock sugar pear water, your throat is not good, this can moisten your throat." ”
Cai Wei just nodded slightly.
Then, Xiao Fengxian half-knelt in front of his rattan chair and scooped a spoonful of sugar water: "I'll feed you." ”
Seeing this, Cai Wei hurriedly sat up, took her sugar water, and quickly said: "I'll come by myself, you get up, don't kneel." ”
Before Xiao Fengxian served others, she was half-kneeling and served with a humble posture, and the other party accepted it as a matter of course, Xiao Fengxian had never met such a person, and treated her respectfully and equally.
At this time, Xiao Fengxian's heart was already rippled, and in the days that followed, the two talked about books and current affairs, and when it was empty, Cai Wei taught her to write.
The two got along very well, and Cai Wei also found at this time that if he went in and out of the Feng Yue place every night, Yuan Shikai's vigilance against him would be relaxed, so he simply did not do anything and did not stop, and did not even return home every day, so he was with Xiao Fengxian.
One day, Xiao Fengxian was in the boudoir with Cai Wei, Cai Wei's wife Liu Xiazhen suddenly pushed the door in, and stared at Cai Wei with mournful eyes: "Do you return to this house or not!" ”
Seeing Cai Wei frowning tightly, looking like he didn't care, Liu Xiazhen trembled with anger, crying and roaring: "Where do I look like a general's wife, is there a general's wife in this world who comes to the Fengyue place to find her husband!" ”
Where did Xiao Fengxian see this battle, she shrunk herself behind the curtain, at this time Cai Wei was furious, suddenly stood up, and pointed her right hand directly at Liu Xiazhen: "Presumptuous!" You are too much, you just go back to your hometown and stay, don't embarrass me here. ”
A few days later, Liu Xiazhen's mother and daughter were really sent back to their hometown, and many people said that this showed Cai Wei's deep feelings for Xiao Fengxian, and in order to be with Xiao Fengxian, he could ignore his wife's fighting.
But there are also different voices, some people think that Liu Xiazhen's big trouble in the boudoir is just a play performed by Cai Wei in order to paralyze Yuan Shikai.
Cai Wei doesn't love Xiao Fengxian at all, and for him, it is also a good thing to have someone to chat with him and spend time with him during the days of being monitored.
And at the same time, you can relax Yuan Shikai's vigilance against yourself, why not kill two birds with one stone?
Moreover, if Cai Wei really loved Xiao Fengxian, he would not let Xiao Fengxian risk his death to cover him out of Beijing.
At that time, Cai Wei hoped to leave Beijing under the pretext of going out with Xiao Fengxian, and after Cai Wei told Xiao Fengxian about the plan, he said solemnly: "I must not worry about life and death, I must escape the bondage." ”
Xiao Fengxian had long been deeply in love, and for her, everything she could give to Cai Wei, including life, so she agreed to this plan without any consideration.
But Xiao Fengxian did not expect that this time it would be a lifetime.
He thought that after Cai Wei left Beijing, he would always come back to find her, so she waited and waited, spring and autumn came, and flowers bloomed.
In the end, she understood, as if her use value had been exhausted, and he would not come back to find herself, but her feelings for Cai Wei in her heart were still inseparable.
Until 1916, the news of Cai Wei's death in Japan reached Xiao Fengxian's ears, and she wore a black veil and went to Central Park to mourn, crying silently.
Subsequently, she married a brigade commander surnamed Liang, who looked similar to Cai Wei, and did not know whether Xiao Fengxian chose to marry him because she loved him or couldn't let go of the deceased Cai Wei.
A few years later, the brigade commander died in the war, became a widow, and sought work everywhere, doing crafts in factories, working as a nanny for others, and eating the last meal but not the next.
Then married a second marriage, married a boiler worker, gave birth to four children, Xiao Fengxian, who should have settled down, but suffered a heavy blow in life, his husband died of a serious illness, and Xiao Fengxian, who became a widow again, had to pull four children who were waiting to be fed.
In the end, he was cornered, and with the help of his old friend Mei Lanfang, he could barely survive.
In 1954, 54-year-old Xiao Fengxian was crushed by life and seriously ill, she clutched Cai Wei's photo on the bed, a tear ran down her cheek, and then passed away with regret.
When Xiao Fengxian was 16 years old, he met the person he loved the most in his life, but the other party's heart was full of home and country, and he couldn't make room for Xiao Fengxian.
The effort to pay for the heart and lungs is only used again and again.
The next two marriages did not go well, and the two husbands left one after another, leaving her to live alone.
Xiao Fengxian's suffering, I think no one can know, no one can understand.
