Xiao Fengxian was originally born in Qiantang, Zhejiang, according to the records of the history books and the impressions of posterity, basically will associate her with Cai Yi, she was once a famous prostitute of the famous Gongqing, and a fate with Cai Yi was also made into a movie, which is known to posterity as "Zhiyin".
She had two marriages in her life, the first before liberation, the second after liberation, and after the death of her second husband, Xiao Fengxian did not remarry, but only took the children to do some bits and pieces of work, and could barely support herself and her children in life.
She has an adopted daughter named Li Guilan, who she says: "She always looks at a picture in a daze. When asked what kind of photo it was, Li Guilan replied: "It's a man in a military uniform." According to Li Guilan, Xiao Fengxian always looked at this photo quietly when he was alone, and when sorting out the relics, this photo was also placed in a conspicuous place, and the man in this photo was Cai Yi.
After this matter was passed out, some people wept for cai yi and Xiao Fengxian's love, and some people held an attitude of opposition, Cai Yi's son was one of them, he said, "She is self-made and sentimental." "So is Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi in love or purely using the relationship?"
Xiao Fengxian was born in Hangzhou in 1990, at a time when the Qing Dynasty was at the end of its life, her father was an official of the Qing Dynasty, and her mother was an unfavored concubine. After his father died of illness, his mother's life was even more difficult, and she was often beaten and scolded by Mrs. Zhengfang, and even the life of taking Xiao Fengxian was not good.
The mother felt that life could not go on like this, so she took Xiao Fengxian away from the family to make a living alone, but the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, and her mother died soon after she fell seriously ill, leaving Xiao Fengxian alone, she was only ten years old at this time, and she would not do anything.
Desperate, Xiao Fengxian can only wander on the streets, but there is no shortage of kind people in any era, in the process of wandering, Xiao Fengxian met an old man who had been a nurse, she saw that Xiao Fengxian was pitiful and took in Xiao Fengxian, but the nurse could not give Xiao Fengxian a place to live, and could only take her to continue wandering.
The two drifted to Shanghai, at this time Xiao Fengxian was taken in by a gentleman surnamed Hu, and also gave Xiao Fengxian the skills to sell singing, so Xiao Fengxian mistakenly hit and bumped into something that could make himself safe.
With the passage of time, Xiao Fengxian became more and more beautiful, and her voice also fascinated many people, she became a local prostitute with exquisite skills and beautiful appearance, and more and more people pursued her, and Xiao Fengxian gradually became famous.
Cai Yi was the overseer of Yunnan, and his military power was very large, and he was coveted by many people. At that time, Yuan Shikai had just ascended to the throne, and he suspected that Cai E's disloyalty would rebel sooner or later, so he found Cai E, hoping that Cai E would be on his side in the struggle, but Cai E did not directly promise Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai did not get the answer he wanted, and even put Cai E under house arrest in Beijing.
In all kinds of boredom, Cai Yi had to linger in the flowers, and it was precisely because of this that he met Xiao Fengxian. At a banquet, Cai Yi pretended to be a businessman to listen to opera, and happened to meet Xiao Fengxian, although she did not know cai yi as the overseer who held the military power in his hands, but she could also see from the different temperament of Cai Yi that this person was by no means an idle person.
Xiao Fengxian decided this in his heart and treated Cai Yi warmly, plus Xiao Fengxian was different from ordinary flower bush women, and there was such a record in the historical materials: "Xiao Fengxian was lonely and arrogant in temperament, slightly familiar with Han Mo, and was called a chivalrous prostitute at that time. From this point, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Fengxian still has some cultural connotations, which are enough to attract Cai Yi's eyes.
Cai Yi did not hide his appreciation for Xiao Fengxian in the slightest, and he also sent Xiao Fengxian such a character link: "Since ancient times, many beautiful people have been enlightened, and they have never been out of the wind and dust." Cai Yi regarded Xiao Fengxian as a confidant, he would not only take Xiao Fengxian to attend various important occasions, but also bring Xiao Fengxian to some friends' parties, and even snubbed his wife to marry Xiao Fengxian, which could upset Cai Yi's relatives.
Cai Yi looked at Xiao Fengxian's special people in the eyes, but some people thought that this was not the case. At this time, Cai Yi was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shikai in Beijing and could not be free, Cai Yi did not want to play for the tiger but was forced by Yuan Shikai's threat, and had to ask for quanquan to protect himself, he held a heavy army in his hands and was jealous of Yuan Shikai, if he wanted Yuan Shikai to relax his vigilance, the best way was to pretend that he was nostalgic for hua Cong and ignored official business.
In the eyes of outsiders, Cai Yi had been completely fascinated by Xiao Fengxian, and the mighty general of the past did not even want to do official business, these things were believed to be true in Yuan Shikai's ears, and a Cai Yi really planted in the hands of a prostitute, so he relaxed his vigilance against him.
Cai Yi's real purpose was to return to Yunnan and break away from Yuan Shikai's control. Xiao Fengxian followed Cai Yi day and night, and Cai Yi's plan to escape this time also told Xiao Fengxian, saying: "I must leave the capital." Xiao Fengxian listened to this and said that he was willing to go with Cai Yi, but Cai Yi said that for her safety, he would let her stay.
In the end, Cai Yi left Beijing as he wished, and before leaving, he said to Xiao Fengxian, "I will definitely come to see you in the future." When Yuan Shikai found out, it was too late, even if he tortured Xiao Fengxian to no avail, in the end, he could only say that Xiao Fengxian helped Cai Yi escape.
Some people say that Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian are true love, otherwise Xiao Fengxian would not "beautify and save the hero", and some people said that Cai Yi only used Xiao Fengxian, if Cai Yi really loved Xiao Fengxian, she would not leave her alone with Yuan Shikai. But for Xiao Fengxian, her heart only had Cai Ye's promise to her.
Xiao Fengxian finally did not wait for Cai Yi to fulfill his promise, Cai Yi returned to Yunnan after the crusade against Yuan Shikai, and soon after Yuan Shikai fell, Cai Yi died of tuberculosis, and the news quickly reached Xiao Fengxian.
At the funeral, Xiao Fengxian attacked black clothes and sent out a pair of tie-ups, which had a sentence: "Pingshui meets into a dream" to read people to sigh, and later Xiao Fengxian married twice, and in his later years he always held a photo of Cai Yi, Cai Yi's son said that his father never loved her, but for Xiao Fengxian, these are not so important.
Later, the affair between the two was passed down as a good story, and it was also made into a movie, and there was a line in the movie called: "The general draws his sword and rises in the south, I am willing to do a long wind around the flag." The lines sounded tight, and I couldn't help but think of the flag flying with the wind on the battlefield, like the tenderness of a beautiful person, as the sentence said: "If there is a long wind around the flag, I am thinking of you." ”
