The people of the Ming Dynasty who have experienced more than 200 years of stability never dreamed that a change of dynasty would happen in their own lives.
As the saying goes, "All makeup buildings are surrounded by water, and every family is covered with beautiful scenery." Even if the country is in danger and the Zhuming Dynasty is about to fall into vain, these cannot change the music and singing every night on the Qinhuai River.
Those pretty girls who attract business in small buildings or pleasure boats are all socialites with music. Unlike prostitutes who have low status, if you want to have enough money to appreciate the beauty of these famous prostitutes, in addition to having enough silver, you also have the most basic talent appreciation ability.
Beacon fire and wolf smoke, half of the rivers and mountains are deserted, and the wind is scattered in the ten miles of Qinhuai.
The brothel is dark, why should I sigh?
is the envious beauty when a man gallops!
Drinking on the riverside, please listen to the waves and play the pipa lightly.
The more chaotic the times are, the more prosperous the brothel business will be.
Those middle-aged people who are in trouble in politics come to Huajie Liuxiang to find a lovely confidante, and tell them about their life and the boredom in the court while they are updating. On the Qinhuai River, there are Ma Xianglan , which retains noble ambitions, icy beauty Bian Yujing , the understanding Dong Xiaowan, and the outstandingly graceful Gu Hengbo. Those who can get favored by these beauties are by no means ordinary people, not famous scholars and officials in the Donglin , or young heroes from Fushe.
The prostitutes of this period were recognized by literati and scholars. They could freely go to and from the gatherings of various poetry societies and literary party organizations, and could make equal friends with those literary giants. Compared with those good women who never leave the door, they are obviously more socially free. Of course, in most cases, they can only play some foiling role, which is undoubtedly.
However, the famous scholars and famous prostitutes got along harmoniously at that time, and even had some kind of relationship similar to mutually beneficial symbiosis. In the romantic and romantic field, the dominance between famous prostitutes and famous scholars is rotated with each other.
For example: Some troubled scholars often receive investment and support from famous prostitutes. When famous prostitutes encounter unfavorable situations, they are also famous scholars who are generous and visit more often on weekdays. For example, when Li Sanniang was involved in unjust prison, Yu Huai was generous in helping him; Dong Xiaowan also relied on the help of Qian Qianyi and to get out of the music.
It has to be said that the analysis of foreigners is very pertinent. Gao Peiluo, the author of "Ancient Chinese Room Insider", said in his book: "The relationship between ancient Chinese literati and prostitutes is most in line with the 'Plato love'. Their love has been elevated to the spiritual level and is far from an ordinary physical relationship."
However, no matter how recognized the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River are from the literary circle, they cannot become pioneers of the modern women's movement, because their personality cannot be independent at all. Because freedom from personal freedom is just an illusion of freedom, so that more ancient prostitutes have only blood and tears in their lives.
Evening Ming is like a dying giant, stepping towards the abyss of destruction step by step. The literati who cannot change the status quo put all their energy on prostitutes is the tragedy of the times. Literati during this period regarded prostitutes as psychiatrists and relied on them to heal their spiritual trauma.
Ten miles of Qinhuai, this once popular paradise of Xiandu is dyed red by rouge, wine reflects red, and blood dyed red. The prostitute's house by the river is here, and the fire dragon lantern boat is in the water. How many famous princes and marquises here are singing and calling the moon, lying drunk and lying in red apricots, or making generous speeches to form cliques to show their ambitions. A painter in the Qing Dynasty painted the most famous eight brothel women, so he became known as " Qinhuai Eight Beauty ". Koubaimen is praised by the world for its simplicity, quietness, ups and downs, generous style and ancient chivalrous style, and is listed as one of the "Eight Beauties".
Kou Baimen is one of the antidotes in the minds of late Ming literati, or the opium that masturbates when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
Kou Mei, the name is Baimen. When people talk about her, they often get used to calling her Kou Baimen, and the name Kou Mei is rarely mentioned. She is a native of Jinling and was born in a prostitute family.

Koubaimen is praised by the world for its simplicity, quietness, ups and downs, generous style and ancient chivalrous style, and is listed as one of the "Eight Beauties".
Kou Baimen is one of the antidotes in the minds of late Ming literati, or the opium that masturbates when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
Kou Mei, the name is Baimen. When people talk about her, they often get used to calling her Kou Baimen, and the name Kou Mei is rarely mentioned. She is a native of Jinling and was born in a prostitute family.Unlike Ma Xianglan and Bian Yujing in the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", she has no background in the wealthy family.
"Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" records that there are many beautiful girls in the Kou family, and Kou Baimen is one of them. Like other beauties in the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", Kou Baimen is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays, but she just can't learn something, that is, "smooth and adaptable".
Perhaps because of the lack of packaging for the background of life, Kou Baimen was not famous for her seven-eyed beauty in the hundreds of years at that time and even in later generations. In addition to the relatively detailed collection of Kou Baimen's life in "Women's Collection" and "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes", other writing works only record some folk legends about Kou Baimen.
Folk legend about Kou Baimen, among which, the most interesting one is the "box meeting" between her and Wu Yingji and .
Wu Yingji's grandfather Wu Guo Zhen was famous for his literature at that time. Wu's father Wu Sizhou was a common man and a hero, and he liked to have friends with all the wise and nobles. Wu Yingji's uncle Li Shouchuan, who was a kid and well-educated uncle, took the imperial examination at the age of 16 and became a doctoral student at the age of 20. Later, he failed the eight exams. Finally, he was the first to be a senior student at the age of 49 in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.
historical records show that Wu Yingjigong's calligraphy was first learned by cursive script, Huang Tingjian's , and later learned by Mi Fu and Yan Zhenqing's . He was bold and liked to have friends. He became close friends with the famous four young masters of the Ming Dynasty at that time: Guide Hou Fangyu, Yixing Chen Dingsheng, Rugao Mao Pijiang, and Tongcheng Fang Yizhi, and later became very famous.
Because Wu Yingji is also a young talented man from Fushe, he also had a sweet love experience with Kou Baimen in his early years.
Wu Yingji is the leader of the young generation of Fushe, because of his immense talent, he is famous all over the world. All famous prostitutes always prefer those literati with vision and ambitions, so Kou Baimen fell in love with Wu Yingji at first sight since the first time he saw him.
However, due to secular prejudice, Kou Baimen and Wu Yingji were like Bian Yujing and Wu Meicun, and they failed to get together.
In ancient times, the views on the portal were very serious.
Although people like Wu Yingji have a slim future in troubled times, they still value reputation very much. Even if Kou Baimen is famous, she is just a inferior woman before she leaves the music industry.
So, if you play with such a woman, you may be called a romantic and elegant person; if you tie a knot with such a woman, you will inevitably be ridiculed.
Although literati and elegant scholars are noble in their ambitions, they are inevitably bend their backs on their "fame".
According to literature records, Kou Baimen treats people quite similar to Ma Xianglan. She has an innate chivalrous spirit and treats money like dirt. Some down-and-out Donglin celebrities will receive funding from Kou Baimen.
The sisters in the fireworks willow alley are mostly good friends with Kou Baimen. Everyone saw that Kou Baimen and Wu Yingji were affectionate and the other was interested, and there was only a layer of window paper between them, so they wanted to match the talented couple together. After thinking about it, the girls finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the "Box Club" to match the two.
So, what is the "box"?
has a more detailed record in "Peach Blossom Fan": the so-called "box club" means that prostitutes in the old society would become sisters if they had friends. The swornship between prostitutes is naturally different from that between men. Every time it’s time for festivals, the sisters will get together and each of them will take out an exquisite box. The box contains seasonal fruits, delicious dishes, or fresh gadgets. Everyone took out the box, put out a banquet, and gathered for a while.
Every day, although literati and scholars can visit brothels, they cannot go upstairs. They can only watch these sisters in the "box meeting" downstairs. Of course, if the guest likes a woman upstairs, he throws the gift. If the woman who is thrown is more satisfied with the guest, he throws the fruit in response. Therefore, sisters who have close contact with Kou Baimen hope to match Wu Yingji and Kou Baimen on this day.
So, during the box meeting that day, someone suggested that Bian Yujing be the commander and play riddle games with the guests.Everyone believes that with Kou Baimen's talent, Wu Yingji will definitely be impressed.
On this day, Bian Yujing was chosen as the commander of the commander. She first gave a riddle: "What is the thinnest thing in the world and what is the fattest thing?"
Wu Yingji looked at the dishes on the table and replied casually: "The thinnest one must be the legs of a crab; as for the fattest one, the tail of a sheep."
From the perspective of food, Wu Yingji's answer was just right, but the answer was not very literary and too mediocre.
Kou Baimen's answer is: "The thinnest thing must be withered frost, and the fattest thing must be the rain and dew of spring."
Obviously, Kou Baimen's answer is not on the same level as Wu Yingji, which makes people feel quite poetic and picturesque.
Bian Yujing then asked, "What is the deepest thing in the world and what is the highest thing?"
This time Wu Yingji was careful, showed off his knowledge, and said, "The deepest thing is the bottomless East China Sea, and the highest one must be Mount Tai."
Kou Baimen gave a better answer: "The deepest thing is endless knowledge, and the highest one is the heart of the people."
Wu Yingji was energetic in literary talent, while Kou Baimen elevated the answer to the philosophical level, which was undoubtedly better.
Kou Baimen's answer attracted a lot of luck, and Wu Yingji became more and more obsessed with this woman.
Then, Bian Yujing asked the third question: "What is the cheapest thing in the world and what is the most precious thing?" Wu Yingji couldn't think of any meaningful answer for such a shallow question as
, so he casually answered: "The cheapest thing is dirt, and the most precious thing must be gold." The answer of
is not so different from vulgar and vulgar slang.
Kou Baimen's answer is: "The cheapest ones are those educational articles that mislead people's children. The most precious ones are the time that is hard to buy."
At this time, Bian Yujing asked the last question: "What is the bitterest in the world and what is the sweetest?"
Wu Yingji thought for a long time, but still could not give any wonderful answer: "The bitterest one is coptis chinensis, and the sweetest one is honey."
Kou Baimen looked at Wu Yingji's face and said with some melancholy: "The bitterest ones are those foolish men and women, and the sweetest ones must be the husband and wife."
A "box meeting" allowed Wu Yingji to see the talent of his sweetheart. However, the legend came to an abrupt end and did not mention what happened between the two.
But there are explanations for Wu Yingji's ending.
Chapter 0: In May of the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army crossed the river, and Yangzhou was guarded first, Shi Kefa died in martyrdom, Emperor Hongguang ran away, and Nanjing city was broken. In the intercalary June of the same year, Wu Yingji raised an army in his hometown, echoing the Jinshengyi army in Huizhou to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty, and even occupied Guichi, Shida and other places.
In the late autumn and early winter of the same year, Wu Yingji led the rebel army to block the Qing army that crossed the south at the Niwan Pass in Guichi County. Because he was outnumbered, he finally retreated back to the mountain and retreated to the Yiqipei (now called Raven Pei, in Xinlong Village, Dayan Township). After that, he was defeated and captured. On October 17, he was killed in Lianhe Village, Juanqiao Town, Guichi District, at the age of 52.
In response to Wu Yingji's resistance, the Qing soldiers directly cut off his head. The "Chizhou Prefecture Chronicle" records that "the head of the Guomen is like a life, and it remains unchanged for three days." Moreover, more than a hundred members of his family and all the soldiers of the rebel army sacrificed their lives heroically. There is a legend that Wu Yingji wrote a poem "The Psychic of Death" before his death, but only one sentence has been passed down to this day, saying:
Half a lifetime of articles and hundreds of people.
So, in my opinion, this legend between Kou Baimen and Wu Yingji may not be true. Although Wu Yingji does not understand the charm, his literary talent is unquestionable, and his integrity is even more comparable to ordinary literati. If he is really as vulgar and mediocre as the legend shows, then there is no need for Koubaimen to care about him so much.
However, a girl who grows in a fireworks land has the greatest pursuit in her life to marry and have children like an ordinary girl, which is inevitable.
In Nanjing area, there is also a legend about Koubaimen's courage and wisdom, which is also humorous and vivid.
Li Xiangjun's adoptive mother Li Shiniang has a close personal relationship with Kou Baimen and frequent exchanges. The reason why the two have a good relationship is because in the early years, Kou Baimen once spoke up for Li Shiniang and helped her ridicule a rude evil young man.
The origin of the thing happened five years ago.
At that time, Li Shiniang was the most famous singer on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Her reputation in the literary circle is well known to everyone. In contrast, the Kou sisters have just debuted not long ago, and Kou Baimen has been receiving customers for less than a year.
On this day, Qin Xinwen, a wealthy scholar, held a banquet at Li Shiniang's house and invited nearby literati and scholars to gather. Although Li Shiniang is not the host, she is the master of this place after all, so she naturally has to entertain guests with all her heart and strength.
In order to make the atmosphere liven up, Li Shiniang invited many young and beautiful girls to accompany her, and the Kou sisters who had just debuted were also invited. At the banquet, literati and scholars exchanged cups, famous prostitutes sang and danced, and guests and hosts enjoyed each other. A banquet was served from noon to dusk, and people still felt that they were still unfulfilled.
After three rounds of wine, Li Shiniang asked someone to prepare a great fragrant tea to entertain the guests. While chatting and laughing, everyone talked about carving art. Li Shiniang was quite knowledgeable about this and collected a valuable seal of ox horns. Li Shiniang took out this seal and invited the guests present to appreciate it.
Everyone saw that this seal was written by a famous artist, and the word "Zhenmei" engraved on it all meant that the seal was exquisitely crafted. After Qin Xinwen saw the seal, he showed disdain. Because he drank a lot of alcohol, he spoke very harshly.
He sighed: "Li Shiniang is definitely a rare beauty on the banks of the Qinhuai River, but the word "Zhen" on the seal is out of reach for her."
Li Shiniang has been struggling in the dusty field for so many years, relying on drinking and laughing to live, so naturally, there is no chastity. But the most taboo in front of prostitutes is to use this as a laughing stock to humiliate. In front of so many famous Nanjing scholars, Li Shiniang felt very embarrassed.
In front of everyone's eyes, Li Shiniang cried out "wow" and told everyone: "Although I live in a romantic and romantic field, I still sell my skills but not. What's more, the old courtyard is full of dignity and celebrities, and there are never those despicable people who are full of lustful insects."
Qin Xinwen also realized that his words were a bit too much. He had drunk too much and was just talking nonsense under the influence of horse urine. Seeing Li Shiniang so angry, the scene was once embarrassed and regretted it very much. However, things have developed to this point, and it is absolutely impossible for him to admit his mistake to the prostitute. What if
doesn’t admit its mistake? No one can get out of Taiwan, what should we do!
So, Qin Xinwen pretended to be drunk and started vomiting on the ground. After spitting out all the dirt on the ground, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. Thinking that everyone is not very familiar with me when they see me drunk!
But unexpectedly, when he took out his handkerchief from his arms, a copper coin rolled out. After Qin Xiucai wiped his mouth, he bent down and picked up the copper coins on the ground and put them back in his pocket.
Although this small move seems irrelevant to outsiders, Kou Baimen remembers this detail in his heart.
A lively banquet ended dramatically like this.
The literati and scholars here were originally very happy, but they didn't expect to see a famous prostitute Li Shiniang crying in the end. As the host, Qin Xinwen, who was drunk, made a mistake and even vomited on the spot, had to part in displeasure.
A year later, Qin Xinwen was successful, stood out in the provincial examination, and became a juren. Passing the Juren exam means becoming a reserve in the officialdom and having the opportunity to make a name for himself. Qin Xiucai was full of success and served wine on the banks of the Qinhuai River for several days, inviting all the famous prostitutes to entertain themselves. Since Qin Xiucai has been promoted to Qin Juren, the pomp is naturally greater than before.
After the singing and dancing performance, Kou Baimen walked up to Mr. Qin and saluted him. At that time, Koubaimen was not famous yet, so Mr. Qin thought she was a prostitute asking for money, so he took out twenty taels of silver to reward her.Unexpectedly, after receiving the reward, Kou Baimen not only did not express his gratitude, but instead began to reveal Qin Xinwen's past in front of everyone.
Kou Baimen said: "Although Master Qin took out twenty taels of -patterned silver to reward the young woman, this move is not very generous."
The guests present did not understand the meaning and asked Kou Baimen why.
Kou Bai's goalkeeper Qin Xinwen humiliated Li Shiniang, and emphasized the details that Mr. Qin refused to let go of the lost copper coins when he vomited.
After saying this, Kou Baimen emphasized: "If Mr. Qin is just an ordinary poor student, then it would be fine if he is so stingy about a copper coin. However, to this day, Qin Xinwen has become a juren and will soon become a parent official of the people. If such a person is still obsessed with money, then he will most likely become a corrupt official who plunders the people. So, what qualifications do such a person have to sit with the famous scholars here?"
Kou Baimen's words were loud and loud, just like a slap on Qin Xinwen's face. Everyone present nodded and agreed.
Qin Xinwen was not drunk today, so he naturally understood Kou Baimen's words. Qin Juren was so ugly that he naturally couldn't continue to stay in the banquet. Within a few days, the incident of Kou Baimen ridicuing Qin Xinwen spread throughout the Qinhuai River. Since then, Qin Xinwen has not only never visited the Qinhuai River again, but has not even been able to stay in Nanjing City. He was like a rat crossing the street, unable to gain a foothold in Nanjing, so he had to travel far away.
Li Shiniang knew in her heart that Kou Baimen was trying to help her avenge the humiliation of that year. So, she recognized Kou Baimen as her sister that night and has had close contacts with her since then.
It can be said that Kou Baimen was also a young girl in love with her. She hopes that one day a hero will step on colorful auspicious clouds and save her from the fireworks willow alley.
So, when Kou Baimen met Zhu Guobi , she thought she had met the hero in her life. Kou Baimen once felt that being able to get to know, know and fall in love with Duke Baoguo Zhu Guobi, and marry him as a concubine was the happiest and most glorious day in his life.
The country is on the verge of demise. Koubaimen, which is already a musician, has become even more humble. In fact, it is not just a chaotic world. Even in peaceful times, most brothel women are rags that are despised by others.
Kou Baimen is very different from other Qiyans. She is definitely not a famous lady who fell into the world. She was born a prostitute woman. The Kou family where Kou Baimen is located is a family of prostitutes. This disgraceful identity also determines the status of Koubaimen on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Therefore, she could not have a small building that lived alone like famous prostitutes such as Li Shiniang and Ma Xianglan, but lived in the old courtyard of the Kou family with other prostitutes.
Among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", the "appearance fees" of other famous prostitutes except Kou Baimen are quite high, but Kou Baimen is not. The reason why she became a famous prostitute was not because she became famous all the time, but because she gradually struggled from the bottom to gain the position. Through the legend in Nanjing, we can see that Kou Baimen in his early years was just an ordinary prostitute. If she hadn't had "girl changes in her age" at the end of her adolescence and became graceful, she might have disappeared from history.
However, Kou Baimen's treatment is only relatively important. Perhaps her reputation among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", but at that time, Kou Baimen was also a popular prostitute. Let’s look at the Kou sisters who are similar to Kou Baimen’s childhood experience. They are all regarded as tools for making money by their "mothers". Those who are beautiful can still find an honest person to sell for a good price. Those who are just as beautiful as others can only sell them at a low price. In the end, they can only taste it with a little red lips. At least compared to them, Koubaimen is much luckier.
If you are beautiful, you will have the capital to make friends with high-ranking officials and nobles.
Kou Baimen's face gave her the opportunity to meet Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi.
Zhu Guobi is a famous prodigal son in the Qinhuai River area, elegant and rich. Kou Baimen fell in love with this noble son at first sight, and after a brief contact, he decided to entrust him to his life.
We have mentioned in the previous article that Kou Baimen is very straightforward. She has been struggling in the romantic field for so many years and has learned so many skills, but she can't learn how to go around. Therefore, she showed her most sincere side to Zhu Guobi and honestly expressed her feelings to her lover.
Little do you know that no matter what era, the active party in love will often fall into a passive position, and the return of backward payment is usually only despicable. As a prodigal son in love, Zhu Guobi will never reject the charming Koubaimen, which has also opened the prelude to a tragedy.
Heroes and beauties, nobles of the previous dynasty and famous prostitutes in Jinling, this is probably the most gimmick keyword in troubled times. In the Ming Dynasty, when legendary literature was prevalent, the encounter between Kou Baimen and Zhu Guobi was a legend in itself. When I was in school, I also used this subject to practice writing and wrote a glitz-like work describing the love between the two in troubled times.
The moon is on the willows' heads, and the cold dew wet the leaves of Weidun, and the air is filled with autumn. What kind of mentality does his friend Wu Meicun knock on Bian Yujing's door? Zhu Guobi once did not know. However, when Zhu Guobi, who was over 50 years old, wanted to knock on the door knocker of the Kou family compound, the Duke Bao, who had experienced all kinds of experiences, did not even have the courage to knock on the door hard.
Thinking about the age of thirty, Zhu Guobi had been living in the title of "Duke of the Kingdom", believing that he was born to save the savior of the building. However, the sorrow of the family and the country made him gradually realize that the allusion of releasing military power was reappeared in himself, or that the mountains, rivers and the country had been destroyed to an unsustainable level. To this day, the title of "Duke Baoguo" is still in vain, and the court never thought of using Zhu Guobi.
and so on, the power and status granted by the Zhu Ming Dynasty later became a shackle, making the idle Zhu Guobi at a loss, just like a walking corpse.
The cold wind interrupted Zhu Guobi's stream of consciousness, and he and Wu Meicun stood in front of Bian Yujing's small building. Perhaps, in this chaotic world filled with gunpowder, there is only this pure land left in the Central Plains. Although the Qinhuai River is full of money and desire, the false intentions of the Qinhuai women have been the last stabilizer for the remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
As the door of the courtyard was opened, a girl as light as a fairy came slowly.
Lying in the New Year's white clothes, the white door is lonely and distorted.
The Red Building looks cold in the rain, and the bead foil floats back alone.
The distance is sad that spring is coming, and the dream is still vague in the end of the night.
How can I get the sealed letter of jade pendant? A geese fly in the clouds of thousands of miles.
The girl casually chanted a poem about "Spring Rain" by Li Shangyin . Although Zhu Guobi didn't know why the beauty in front of him sang spring poems in late autumn, it didn't matter. In the girl's tone, Zhu Guobi felt a fresh and natural style of poetry, and his frown was stretched all year round.
The noble Duke Baoguo was like an ordinary person who had accidentally entered the fairyland, destroying the fairyland created by the fairy. Zhu Guobi is definitely not a novice in love. He has already experienced the love of countless bitches on the banks of the Qinhuai River. However, when he mentioned the charm of Qinhuai prostitutes around his friends such as Wumeicun, like a show-off, these noble literati just smiled meaningfully.
It turns out that what a real scholar wants in a brothel is not physical pleasure. His years of prostitution experience is just a vulgar market behavior in the eyes of these high-level prostitutes. Zhu Guobi, who was already worried about national affairs, naturally would not be able to surrender in this regard. He specially made an appointment with Wu Meicun to see the legendary Bian Yujing.
The girl in front of him was waiting for Zhu Guobi to respond. He had never seen such a prostitute like a fairy, and he forgot his original intention to come here for a while. It was not until this time that Zhu Guobi realized that his realm was really not high. Zhu Guobi said with a tough forehead: "Is the girl Bian Yujing?"
Who knew that the girl was angry after hearing this sentence. She just said lightly: "Since I am here to find Saisai, I will take my leave."
Zhu Guobi felt lost, not knowing which of her words was abrupt and beautiful woman.
Wu Meicun said with a smile: "Mr., you are really a shame.Haven’t the girl’s name been told to you long ago? Do you pretend to be ignorant or do you not understand the charm? It seems that you are not destined to be. "
Zhu Guobi then realized that the sentence "The Baimen is lonely and distorted" was about the name of this girl - Koubaimen! Zhu Guobi never expected that he was really a vulgar person. Could it be that this was the last time he saw that girl?
No, of course not.
Who is Zhu Guobi?
The Lord of the Chongzhen Dynasty was alone. At least in the territory of Nanjing, he was an existence equivalent to a local emperor, and no woman he wanted could refuse.
For another When he saw Koubaimen, Zhu Guobi did not hesitate to pry open Kou's mother's mouth with a sea of gold and silver, and got the opportunity to meet Koubaimen again. From then on, Zhu Guobi lingered here like a small building in the Kou family living on Chaoku Street.
Koubaimen had never seen such a simple-minded man. He never said any sweet words, but only knew how to use money to achieve his goal. The more cold Koubaimen was, the more silver Zhu Guobi threw.
Kou's mother once said: "There is no good thing for those men who are full of spoils. Only men who are willing to spend money for you are rare treasures. "We don't know how much money Zhu Guobi spent in the Kou family building.
In fact, for Kou Baimen, no matter how powerful a man has, it is difficult to get her favor. What Kou Baimen desires is just a heartwarming man who holds her in his palm and is afraid of being melted. Although Zhu Guobi does not understand the charm and his way of expressing love is straightforward and vulgar, he is the man among all men who is willing to spend the most time on Kou Baimen.
Therefore, in Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi is the hero Xiong's illusion.
How much did Zhu Guobi spend when he married Koubaimen? There were many different opinions in Nanjing. In short, boxes filled the Kou family's courtyard with gold ingots, and Kou's mother's mouth was so happy that she grinned at the back of her ears. Zhu Guobi dispatched five thousand soldiers that night and used the torches in their hands to decorate the entire Wuding Bridge with open fire.
In response, women in the streets and alleys said: "If Koubaimen was not a prostitute woman, I'm afraid this wedding would be the grandest official marriage in Nanjing throughout history. "However, Kou Baimen's mind was not on these flashy things. She just quietly lifted the veil, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and secretly glanced at the handsome and mighty Zhu Guobi who was tall and tall. At this moment, Zhu Guobi was the only hero in the world, the great hero who saved Kou Baimen from water and fire.
Kou Baimen was not a main house after all, and he was not qualified to live in the Duke's mansion.
So, in order to fill the regrets in the hearts of the beauty, Zhu Guobi bought land in the most prosperous streets and alleys, and built a palace that was even more luxurious than the palace garden with crystal, agarwood, nanmu, and coral.
Kou Baimen whispered on Zhu Guobi's shoulder: "It's a waste. "Zhu Guobi just smiled slightly and didn't care. Zhu Guobi felt that these were the only ones he could give Kou Baimen, that's all. If he could gain the trust of the court, he would rather lead these 5,000 soldiers to the battlefield north and take Kou Baimen to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.
However, in troubled times, Zhu Guobi had no way to serve the country, so he could only rot in a corner of Jinling and imprison his most beloved woman in a golden cage. Zhu Guo Bi dared not tell Kou Baimen that she was definitely not the great hero in her mind. Zhu Guobi never mentioned the war at the border in front of Kou Baimen, but the cunning Kou Baimen could also hear the great events in the north through the mouth of a maid.
On that day, when Zhu Guobi appeared beside Kou Baimen with a smile, the clever woman said inadvertently: "The Qing army has already entered the pass. "
Zhu Guobi did not dare to look up at Kou Baimen's expression, he could only say with a tough bullet and said, "Yes, I'll go south soon. "
Thinking of the ending of the two in the troubled times, Kou Baimen couldn't help but shed tears. She asked, "The Qing soldiers are fighting here, where should we go? ”
Zhu Guobi replied: “I will send you to a safe place. ”
Kou Baimen did not answer, but just hugged Zhu Guobi silently, preventing him from seeing the tears on his cheeks.
In order to protect Koubaimen, Zhu Guobi did not hesitate to take his family to the capital and was placed under house arrest by the Qing court. The Qing court entered the pass shortly after, in order to show that the Qing Dynasty had not abused the old man in the previous dynasty, it did not kill Zhu Guobi, but only deprived him of his freedom.
Kou Baimen knew that the man he loved deeply was free by nature and hated the days when he was merciless the most. Therefore, in order to save Zhu Guobi, Kou Baimen returned to the Qinhuai River and returned to his old business, and finally raised a huge sum of money from his former good sisters. With this money, Koubaimen cleared the joints of the Eight Banners and redeemed Zhu Guobi's freedom.
On the day when Zhu Guobi was saved, he immediately hired a carriage to return to Jinling. After
, after inquiring from many sources, Kou Baimen had re-entered his family and started a business with flesh and blood. Zhu Guobi's mood was quite complicated. He gave all the women he wanted to protect and actually used this method to help him escape. Zhu Guobi, who had been revisiting the old place, came to Chaoku Street again and stopped in front of the most familiar small building.
This is the place where Koubaimen operated a business in his early years. The plaque "Kou Mansion" picked by him has now been hung again. There are red candles on the small building, and it seems that someone has visited Koubaimen's business tonight. Zhu Guobi walked and hesitated repeatedly in front of the door. He didn't know whether he should knock on the door and took his sweetheart away again.
Zhu Guobi, who encountered all this, became increasingly weak, and even the courage to get close to the small building had been lost.
Cold rain fell just at the right time. Zhu Guobi, standing in the light rain, was in a mood. This small building that once made him feel warm is now as cold as this.
Kou Baimen is still as charming as it used to be, right?
Is there still a sense of sorrow that cannot be dissipated between her eyebrows?
Did she write her name on the orchid?
Zhu Guobi was angry that he could not raise the courage to take back Koubaimen, he was angry that he did not have the ability to rewrite this troubled time, he was angry that he could not save a woman.
He is a fake hero after all, but Err.
Thinking of this, Zhu Guobi left with a laugh. Kou Baimen looked at Zhu Guobi's distant figure in the small building, tears flowing...
When I was a teenager, I would inevitably regard Zhu Guobi, who pulled her out of the fire pit, as a hero, just like Kou Baimen. However, the real history is much crueler than the novel.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, visited Qinhuai with a group of literati and came to the old courtyard of the Kou family with everyone's recommendation. Zhu Guobi is the most prominent among all the people present, so it is natural that Kou Baimen, the most famous prostitute, should be accompanied by the most famous prostitute. After a brief contact, Kou Baimen had a good impression of the man in front of him.
Zhu Guobi is both romantic and rich, and gentle, revealing a sense of nobility in every move. When Kou Baimen expressed his feelings secretly and obscurely, Zhu Guobi immediately proposed to marry without hesitation. For Zhu Guobi, it doesn’t matter whether Kou Baimen is beautiful or ugly. What he values is nothing more than the “famous” of Kou Baimen.
As Duke Bao, he has been lingering in the fireworks and willow alleys all year round. What kind of woman has never seen before? He just wanted to take Koubaimen into a forbidden property and use it as a gimmick to earn the reputation of "a elegant man". In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Guobi arranged a grand wedding for the 17-year-old Kou Baimen.
During the Ming Dynasty, all women of music who remarried and became good must be carried out at night. Zhu Guobi was afraid that the people in Nanjing would sleep soundly, so he specially arranged 5,000 soldiers to occupy the streets and alleys openly, and beat drums and drums to marry Kou Baimen to the newly built small building.
People say that Koubaimen is a lucky woman. Even if she is reincarnated at a prostitute’s house, she can still hope for a lover who is willing to spend a lot of money to organize a wedding for her. Even Kou Baimen herself had the illusion that she was an ordinary girl. At this time, Zhu Guobi treated herself as a treasure like a prince in her dream.
In fact, only Zhu Guobi, the truth is known to the Duke of Baoguo.
All the movements he made were to seize the headlines of the Nanjing literary circle tomorrow. At that time, the literati and scholars in Jinling City will all tell about Zhu Guobi's romantic deeds, making his reputation even louder.
Kou Baimen's emotional experience can be described as the sentence "When you get into the wrong sedan chair and marry the wrong man." For women, choosing a wrong marriage is undoubtedly the saddest thing in life, but this kind of thing happened to Kou Baimen.
Zhu Guobi's essence is a sleek and calculating nobleman. His purpose of marrying Koubaimen is not simply. Perhaps, he was once moved by this famous Qinhuai prostitute, but this feeling has nothing to do with love. Just like a male animal in estrus meeting a spouse, Zhu Guobi, who was in his prime, also had physical needs, and his psychology would naturally be affected by women like Kou Baimen.
However, behind this traction caused by lust, there are not many hormones called love.
Moreover, for the high-ranking officials and nobles in the old society, both "Freud" and "Plato" were strange nouns, and they had no idea what love was.
Kou Baimen spent a short honeymoon with Zhu Guobi like a happy little woman. However, just one month later, Zhu Guobi's affectionate face was revealed. I don’t know if it’s because of genetic genes. Most of the children of the Zhu Ming Dynasty’s royal family lack emotional cells like , Zhu Yuanzhang and , and Zhu Guobi is no exception.
He became increasingly tired of Kou Baimen, feeling that this woman was no different from other women, but there was no lower prostitute on the other pleasure boat knowing how to cater to him. So he regained his former romantic young man nature and continued to linger in the place where Zhangtai was. Zhu Guobi, who is rich and rich, is deeply loved by prostitutes from Qinhuai River. Just like meeting and getting to know Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi replicated similar emotional experiences again and again, and revoked many famous prostitutes home as concubines, and abandoned them after playing with them.
1645, the army of Dorgon moved south in large numbers. Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty like those fence-bearing widows who followed the flow, becoming the first Ming Dynasty royal family to move closer to the new regime. Many people hate Zhu Guobi for being shameless, but they do not know that this result is already destined. How loyal can a guy who is not loyal to sacred things like love be to the righteousness of his family and country?
However, the late Ming old men had very little value to the Qing court. As long as they were willing to take the initiative to serve and set an example for other hard bones, this would be enough. There was an Eight Banners organization within the Qing Dynasty, so naturally it was not the turn to invite Zhu Guobi to be a nobleman. Therefore, Zhu Guobi, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was detained in a prison in the capital.
Zhu Guobi was desperate. He knew that if the Qing Dynasty had gained a foothold in the Central Plains, the first one would attack his own group of former nobles. So he used all his connections to clear up his relationships, hoping to convince the Eight Banners nobles to release themselves to freedom.
Originally, Zhu Guobi was an irrelevant little person to Manren, and it didn't matter whether he died or lived.
So, the Eight Banners nobles in charge of this matter offer a bid code. As long as Zhu Guobi can take out 20,000 taels of silver for redeem, he can pack his luggage and go back to Jinling.
Zhu Guobi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately contacted the musicians in the capital, wanting to sell all the female family members in his family.
This is the cheapest time in Kou Baimen's life. In the past, if you want to meet with a famous prostitute like Kou Baimen, the client had to take out at least a hundred taels of silver, which was worthy of drinking a pot of tea with Kou Baimen. However, today's Koubaimen is like the cabbage in the market, and is listed by Zhu Guobi for people to choose from.
The Manchu nobles saw that Koubaimen had a shocking appearance, so they asked Zhu Guobi for the sale price.
Zhu Guobi replied, "She is just a concubine of mine. I think it's enough to sell it for 100 taels."
Kou Baimen originally thought that she was a priceless treasure in Zhu Guobi's heart, but she never expected that the price offered by Zhu Guobi was so depressed.
So, Kou Baimen said to Zhu Guobi: "If you sell me, you can only exchange it for 100 taels of silver. If you let me go back to Jinling, I can earn ten thousand taels of silver in just one month to repay your redemption."
Zhu Guobi's redemption fee was as high as 20,000 taels. The hundred taels of silver that sold Kou Baimen was naturally a drop in the bucket. So, Zhu Guobi agreed to Kou Baimen's suggestion without hesitation and asked her to return to Jinling to raise money.
At this time, Zhu Guobi was not worried that Kou Baimen would run away. After all, he has reached the end of his life now, and there is no other way except to believe that Kou Baimen has a gamble.
So, Kou Baimen took his maid Dou'er back to Jinling and returned to the old courtyard of the Kou family to start a flesh-hearted business. Because Kou Baimen had a good relationship with many famous prostitutes in his early years and was very popular in the circle, the sisters who heard about her experiences donated generously and raised 20,000 taels of silver for her in just a few days.
In the end, Kou Baimen asked someone to send the money to Zhu Guobi to help him redeem it.
At this time, Zhu Guobi never dreamed that the concubine Kou Baimen, who was summoned by him, had such great powers and her value was immeasurable.
So, Zhu Guobi, who returned to Nanjing, immediately came to the door and wanted to pick Kou Baimen home.
Who knew that at this time, Kou Baimen didn't even bother to look at Zhu Guobi, but said lightly: "In the early years, you paid some money to redeem me. Today I will use some money to redeem you. Now we have cleared up, so there is no need for you to bother me anymore."
In fact, these two things are completely incomparable.
Why did Kou Baimen fall into the world? She was born in a prostitute's house and she had no choice but to do so. Why was Zhu Guobi under house arrest by the Qing people? Isn’t it because he is a complete corrupt man who takes the initiative to deliver it to his door? It is really a very cheap thing to compare himself with Zhu Guobi. Because, the two are really different in character.
However, leaving a man like Zhu Guobi early is not a bad thing for Kou Baimen. If Kou Baimen had been with Zhu Guobi, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would have done anything worse. After entering the Zhu family, Kou Baimen kept enduring the grimace and betrayal, but he left with great dignity. Of course, this dignity was not only obtained for 20,000 taels of silver, but also achieved by her noble character who valued righteousness and promised one promise to win over ten thousand gold.
There is a poem "Twenty Thousand" sighed:
Short clothes return to Jinling with wind and snow, red beans are floating and weak.
I have been hiring more than 20,000 yuan, so how can I talk about the crimson gauze lantern?
From this day on, Kou Baimen returned to the old courtyard of the Kou family in Nanjing and restored the identity of the famous prostitute Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen, who had left Zhu Guobi, paid out of his own pocket to renovate the courtyard and dressed himself up in a colorful manner.
I heard that Kou Baimen has returned to the romance and mistress circle, and Jinling’s client circle is full of people every year.
Kou Bai's gate welcomed them into the door and drank and had fun with them. Whenever the wine is in full swing, Kou Baimen will sing and then cry at the desk.
Although Kou Baimen still has charm today, she has given her best youth to the unfaithful man Zhu Guobi.
This kind of life lasted for several years until Jinling Xiaolian Yang Celi Li came to the door and married Kou Baimen home.
Kou Baimen initially thought that Yang Celi was the last destination of his life, and tried to open his heart to him. Unexpectedly, Yang Celi's nature is no different from Zhu Guobi, both of whom are indecisive, unwilling and frugal.
On him, Kou Baimen saw Zhu Guobi's shadow again. Now Kou Baimen is completely disappointed with love, returns to the bank of Qinhuai River, and decides to live a life in the land of fireworks.
As for how Kou Baimen passed away, there are many different opinions in the historical community.
The most widely circulated statement is that Kou Baimen was angry to death by the unfaithful Han Sheng.
In Kou Baimen's old age, her face no longer had the charm of the past. However, because Kou Baimen is famous, there are still countless literati and madmen who are looking for her. Among these young heroes, Kou Baimen admires the talented man Han Sheng the most.
Han Sheng is different from Zhu Guobi. When the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he insisted on not being in office and had a high sentiment. Although Kou Baimen vowed not to leave the prostitute again, she bet on Han Sheng for the last love, hoping that this confidant could accompany her for the rest of her life.
One time, Kou Baimen fell ill, and she asked the maid to invite Han Sheng to the house. After the two met, Han Sheng's concern for him made Kou Baimen feel the warmth again. She cried and told Han Sheng about the bitterness and suffering she had experienced over the years.That night, Kou Bai's goalkeeper Han Sheng stayed in the bedroom, hoping that he could spend the night with him.
Little did he know that in the early morning Kou Baimen was awakened by the whispers outside the window, and Han Sheng beside him had long disappeared. Kou Baimen pushed the door out and found that Han Sheng was mingling with his maid. It turned out that Han Sheng's intention was not to drink. His purpose of approaching Kou Baimen was to get close to his young and beautiful little maid.
Kou Baimen has always treated people humbly, and even the little maid with a humble status is no exception. Kou Baimen does not want the maid to spend her life with a misfortune like herself, and hopes that she can get married as a good person as soon as possible. However, seeing the little maid hang out with the unfaithful Han Han Sheng, Kou Baimen was extremely angry.
Only then did she realize that although Han Sheng was honest, he was not loyal to love. Isn’t this another copy of Zhu Guobi?
After Han Sheng had a crush on her, he ruined his favorite maid, which made Kou Baimen at a loss. Kou Baimen forced himself to hold on to the sick body and taught the dog man and woman a lesson with a whip. Little did the maid understand Kou Baimen's intentions at all. After being beaten, she sneered at Kou Baimen, saying that she was old and ugly and could not see other girls.
Immediately, Kou Baimen was so angry that he vomited blood, allowing the man and woman to leave.
Kou Baimen's body was already uncomfortable, and she suffered such an accident, which made her completely ill. Kou Baimen, who had been sleeping in bed for a long time, became more and more cynical. He lamented that he had a heroic life, but he still did not receive good rewards. Kou Baimen, who has always been open-minded, finally got stuck in the slightest position. Her condition became more and more serious, and she passed away suddenly not long after.
She had never dealt with Duoduo, the king of Yu of the Qing Dynasty, nor did she feel relieved to humiliate the traitor and traitor. In the end, she was just a loathing person. This is the "aftermath" of Kou Baimen in the record.
Looking at Kou Baimen's life, her beauty and talent cannot help her find a true love in the world. In every love experience she has always been the one who is most involved and hurt, but she has never seen her disappointed or deceived her partner. It can be said that the men in her life, whether they are high-ranking officials or romantic celebrities, are not a real man. Not only did they not be able to give Kou Baimen a complete love, but each of them inserted a sharp blade into her heart, hurting this sensitive woman all over her body.
After Kou Baimen passed away, Liu Rushi's husband, former Donglin leader Qian Qianyi, wrote a poem for her, called "Kou Baimen", to commemorate this flower in troubled times withered life:
Kou family sisters are always beautiful, and they have been fascinated by flowers for eighteen years. Qinhuai today is afraid that he will be worth the most, so he will not be able to wear red tears.
Cong of the red pinks miss Jun's kindness, who knows Kou Baimen?
The heart of the loess is not dead when the coffin is covered, and a wisp of fragrant pills is the fragrant soul.
In the hundreds of years later, most of the passionate prodigal sons in later generations sighed at Kou Baimen's life situation and created touching and memorable works for her. If Kou Baimen could read these words under the 9th fountain, he might feel relieved.
Of course, if Koubaimen is just like this, we will never forget it. In fact, if Kou Baimen's actions were only this, it would be a very questionable thing if she could have been unanimously praised by many former Ming Dynasty veterans and young men at that time, and was praised as a "female hero".
So, you should know more about Koubaimen.
In fact, Kou Baimen was not old after returning to the south, only about thirty years old, and he was dating her not only "young men". For example: Fang Wen, a famous Ming Dynasty legitimate old man, had a poem in "Tushan Collection" "Welcome to Zhang Cangshui and Li Qizhan Drinking Kou Baimenzhai's Head" and said:
The old people still had the White Gate, and they met under the lamp and were heartbroken.
As soon as you arrive in Nanzhong, I ask you, knowing that you are avoiding the world and staying away from the world.
This time, I didn’t see the Youren leaving, and I was ashamed of the autumn river and the dusk clouds.
life pictures are very difficult to meet, and it is particularly fun to meet each other this evening.
is only considered as a good friend in poetry, and should not be regarded as a girl.
From this point of view, although Kou Baimen was in charge of all the students during this period, his actions were not all about "I also lamented the lateness of the beauty and lamented the drift of red beans". Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "knowing that you are avoiding the world and staying away from the world" and "you should not be a girl."
Let’s take a look at the poem "Present to Kou Baimen" written by Wu Meicun for him after Kou Baimen's death:
Mr. Zhu Gong turned his back and moved to a thousand gold medals, and he used his plan to deepen his mind.
Today, just because Gou Jian died, it is difficult to unite the red pink.
This is a bit intriguing. In this poem, Wu Meicun compared it to Xi Shi.
Xi Shi knew that after King Goujian of Yue lost the war against Wu, he adopted the fourth "Nine Techniques of Defeating Wu" in Wenzhong, "leaving the beauties to confuse their hearts and confusing their plans", and got Xi Shi and Zheng Dan at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain. He also built a beautiful palace on Tucheng Mountain, taught singing and dancing etiquette to decorate the Luo River, taught to behave in Tucheng, and was close to the alleys of the capital. Three years later, the two completed their studies and were presented to King Wu by Fan Li.
Seeing these two beauties, King Wu Fuchai was very happy, built Gusu Terrace, built Guanwa Palace, and placed it in a house of pepper flowers. As a result, King Wu was addicted to wine and sex all day long, and lost the national government. During this period, he even more favored Xi Shi. In the end, Goujian destroyed the Wu Kingdom, and King Fuchai of Wu committed suicide.
And, after Kou Baimen's death, another literati Min Hua wrote in "Poems of Kou Baimen":
I feel indifferent to my life experience, and I am better to be redeemed gold;
Mu Weng's sentence is the rest of his life, and he is devoted to writing about brothels.
A century-old hero’s bones are buried in the empty mountains, who is the teardrop of the saplings?
combined with the names of the beautiful women, one is the festival of life and the other is the life of life.
Compared with Wu Meicun, his poems seem to be more clear. Judging from the poems of Wu Meicun and Min Hua, Kou Baimen's activities after returning to the south should not only be to welcome and send him to the door to show his smile. Her actions are likely to be the same as Xi Shi, using beauty as a means and national difficulties as urgent. She also interacted with Liu Rushi with her special status and worked hard for the anti-Qing cause.
Therefore, she was praised by people at that time as a "female hero".
is just an anti-Qing incident. Although there are only a few fellows who know the inside story, they are inconvenient and dare not write it clearly even if they know it. Therefore, the records of Kou Baimen after returning to Jinling in "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" are so hidden.
Everyone believes that with Kou Baimen's talent, Wu Yingji will definitely be impressed.On this day, Bian Yujing was chosen as the commander of the commander. She first gave a riddle: "What is the thinnest thing in the world and what is the fattest thing?"
Wu Yingji looked at the dishes on the table and replied casually: "The thinnest one must be the legs of a crab; as for the fattest one, the tail of a sheep."
From the perspective of food, Wu Yingji's answer was just right, but the answer was not very literary and too mediocre.
Kou Baimen's answer is: "The thinnest thing must be withered frost, and the fattest thing must be the rain and dew of spring."
Obviously, Kou Baimen's answer is not on the same level as Wu Yingji, which makes people feel quite poetic and picturesque.
Bian Yujing then asked, "What is the deepest thing in the world and what is the highest thing?"
This time Wu Yingji was careful, showed off his knowledge, and said, "The deepest thing is the bottomless East China Sea, and the highest one must be Mount Tai."
Kou Baimen gave a better answer: "The deepest thing is endless knowledge, and the highest one is the heart of the people."
Wu Yingji was energetic in literary talent, while Kou Baimen elevated the answer to the philosophical level, which was undoubtedly better.
Kou Baimen's answer attracted a lot of luck, and Wu Yingji became more and more obsessed with this woman.
Then, Bian Yujing asked the third question: "What is the cheapest thing in the world and what is the most precious thing?" Wu Yingji couldn't think of any meaningful answer for such a shallow question as
, so he casually answered: "The cheapest thing is dirt, and the most precious thing must be gold." The answer of
is not so different from vulgar and vulgar slang.
Kou Baimen's answer is: "The cheapest ones are those educational articles that mislead people's children. The most precious ones are the time that is hard to buy."
At this time, Bian Yujing asked the last question: "What is the bitterest in the world and what is the sweetest?"
Wu Yingji thought for a long time, but still could not give any wonderful answer: "The bitterest one is coptis chinensis, and the sweetest one is honey."
Kou Baimen looked at Wu Yingji's face and said with some melancholy: "The bitterest ones are those foolish men and women, and the sweetest ones must be the husband and wife."
A "box meeting" allowed Wu Yingji to see the talent of his sweetheart. However, the legend came to an abrupt end and did not mention what happened between the two.
But there are explanations for Wu Yingji's ending.
Chapter 0: In May of the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army crossed the river, and Yangzhou was guarded first, Shi Kefa died in martyrdom, Emperor Hongguang ran away, and Nanjing city was broken. In the intercalary June of the same year, Wu Yingji raised an army in his hometown, echoing the Jinshengyi army in Huizhou to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty, and even occupied Guichi, Shida and other places.
In the late autumn and early winter of the same year, Wu Yingji led the rebel army to block the Qing army that crossed the south at the Niwan Pass in Guichi County. Because he was outnumbered, he finally retreated back to the mountain and retreated to the Yiqipei (now called Raven Pei, in Xinlong Village, Dayan Township). After that, he was defeated and captured. On October 17, he was killed in Lianhe Village, Juanqiao Town, Guichi District, at the age of 52.
In response to Wu Yingji's resistance, the Qing soldiers directly cut off his head. The "Chizhou Prefecture Chronicle" records that "the head of the Guomen is like a life, and it remains unchanged for three days." Moreover, more than a hundred members of his family and all the soldiers of the rebel army sacrificed their lives heroically. There is a legend that Wu Yingji wrote a poem "The Psychic of Death" before his death, but only one sentence has been passed down to this day, saying:
Half a lifetime of articles and hundreds of people.
So, in my opinion, this legend between Kou Baimen and Wu Yingji may not be true. Although Wu Yingji does not understand the charm, his literary talent is unquestionable, and his integrity is even more comparable to ordinary literati. If he is really as vulgar and mediocre as the legend shows, then there is no need for Koubaimen to care about him so much.
However, a girl who grows in a fireworks land has the greatest pursuit in her life to marry and have children like an ordinary girl, which is inevitable.
In Nanjing area, there is also a legend about Koubaimen's courage and wisdom, which is also humorous and vivid.
Li Xiangjun's adoptive mother Li Shiniang has a close personal relationship with Kou Baimen and frequent exchanges. The reason why the two have a good relationship is because in the early years, Kou Baimen once spoke up for Li Shiniang and helped her ridicule a rude evil young man.
The origin of the thing happened five years ago.
At that time, Li Shiniang was the most famous singer on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Her reputation in the literary circle is well known to everyone. In contrast, the Kou sisters have just debuted not long ago, and Kou Baimen has been receiving customers for less than a year.
On this day, Qin Xinwen, a wealthy scholar, held a banquet at Li Shiniang's house and invited nearby literati and scholars to gather. Although Li Shiniang is not the host, she is the master of this place after all, so she naturally has to entertain guests with all her heart and strength.
In order to make the atmosphere liven up, Li Shiniang invited many young and beautiful girls to accompany her, and the Kou sisters who had just debuted were also invited. At the banquet, literati and scholars exchanged cups, famous prostitutes sang and danced, and guests and hosts enjoyed each other. A banquet was served from noon to dusk, and people still felt that they were still unfulfilled.
After three rounds of wine, Li Shiniang asked someone to prepare a great fragrant tea to entertain the guests. While chatting and laughing, everyone talked about carving art. Li Shiniang was quite knowledgeable about this and collected a valuable seal of ox horns. Li Shiniang took out this seal and invited the guests present to appreciate it.
Everyone saw that this seal was written by a famous artist, and the word "Zhenmei" engraved on it all meant that the seal was exquisitely crafted. After Qin Xinwen saw the seal, he showed disdain. Because he drank a lot of alcohol, he spoke very harshly.
He sighed: "Li Shiniang is definitely a rare beauty on the banks of the Qinhuai River, but the word "Zhen" on the seal is out of reach for her."
Li Shiniang has been struggling in the dusty field for so many years, relying on drinking and laughing to live, so naturally, there is no chastity. But the most taboo in front of prostitutes is to use this as a laughing stock to humiliate. In front of so many famous Nanjing scholars, Li Shiniang felt very embarrassed.
In front of everyone's eyes, Li Shiniang cried out "wow" and told everyone: "Although I live in a romantic and romantic field, I still sell my skills but not. What's more, the old courtyard is full of dignity and celebrities, and there are never those despicable people who are full of lustful insects."
Qin Xinwen also realized that his words were a bit too much. He had drunk too much and was just talking nonsense under the influence of horse urine. Seeing Li Shiniang so angry, the scene was once embarrassed and regretted it very much. However, things have developed to this point, and it is absolutely impossible for him to admit his mistake to the prostitute. What if
doesn’t admit its mistake? No one can get out of Taiwan, what should we do!
So, Qin Xinwen pretended to be drunk and started vomiting on the ground. After spitting out all the dirt on the ground, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. Thinking that everyone is not very familiar with me when they see me drunk!
But unexpectedly, when he took out his handkerchief from his arms, a copper coin rolled out. After Qin Xiucai wiped his mouth, he bent down and picked up the copper coins on the ground and put them back in his pocket.
Although this small move seems irrelevant to outsiders, Kou Baimen remembers this detail in his heart.
A lively banquet ended dramatically like this.
The literati and scholars here were originally very happy, but they didn't expect to see a famous prostitute Li Shiniang crying in the end. As the host, Qin Xinwen, who was drunk, made a mistake and even vomited on the spot, had to part in displeasure.
A year later, Qin Xinwen was successful, stood out in the provincial examination, and became a juren. Passing the Juren exam means becoming a reserve in the officialdom and having the opportunity to make a name for himself. Qin Xiucai was full of success and served wine on the banks of the Qinhuai River for several days, inviting all the famous prostitutes to entertain themselves. Since Qin Xiucai has been promoted to Qin Juren, the pomp is naturally greater than before.
After the singing and dancing performance, Kou Baimen walked up to Mr. Qin and saluted him. At that time, Koubaimen was not famous yet, so Mr. Qin thought she was a prostitute asking for money, so he took out twenty taels of silver to reward her.Unexpectedly, after receiving the reward, Kou Baimen not only did not express his gratitude, but instead began to reveal Qin Xinwen's past in front of everyone.
Kou Baimen said: "Although Master Qin took out twenty taels of -patterned silver to reward the young woman, this move is not very generous."
The guests present did not understand the meaning and asked Kou Baimen why.
Kou Bai's goalkeeper Qin Xinwen humiliated Li Shiniang, and emphasized the details that Mr. Qin refused to let go of the lost copper coins when he vomited.
After saying this, Kou Baimen emphasized: "If Mr. Qin is just an ordinary poor student, then it would be fine if he is so stingy about a copper coin. However, to this day, Qin Xinwen has become a juren and will soon become a parent official of the people. If such a person is still obsessed with money, then he will most likely become a corrupt official who plunders the people. So, what qualifications do such a person have to sit with the famous scholars here?"
Kou Baimen's words were loud and loud, just like a slap on Qin Xinwen's face. Everyone present nodded and agreed.
Qin Xinwen was not drunk today, so he naturally understood Kou Baimen's words. Qin Juren was so ugly that he naturally couldn't continue to stay in the banquet. Within a few days, the incident of Kou Baimen ridicuing Qin Xinwen spread throughout the Qinhuai River. Since then, Qin Xinwen has not only never visited the Qinhuai River again, but has not even been able to stay in Nanjing City. He was like a rat crossing the street, unable to gain a foothold in Nanjing, so he had to travel far away.
Li Shiniang knew in her heart that Kou Baimen was trying to help her avenge the humiliation of that year. So, she recognized Kou Baimen as her sister that night and has had close contacts with her since then.
It can be said that Kou Baimen was also a young girl in love with her. She hopes that one day a hero will step on colorful auspicious clouds and save her from the fireworks willow alley.
So, when Kou Baimen met Zhu Guobi , she thought she had met the hero in her life. Kou Baimen once felt that being able to get to know, know and fall in love with Duke Baoguo Zhu Guobi, and marry him as a concubine was the happiest and most glorious day in his life.
The country is on the verge of demise. Koubaimen, which is already a musician, has become even more humble. In fact, it is not just a chaotic world. Even in peaceful times, most brothel women are rags that are despised by others.
Kou Baimen is very different from other Qiyans. She is definitely not a famous lady who fell into the world. She was born a prostitute woman. The Kou family where Kou Baimen is located is a family of prostitutes. This disgraceful identity also determines the status of Koubaimen on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Therefore, she could not have a small building that lived alone like famous prostitutes such as Li Shiniang and Ma Xianglan, but lived in the old courtyard of the Kou family with other prostitutes.
Among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", the "appearance fees" of other famous prostitutes except Kou Baimen are quite high, but Kou Baimen is not. The reason why she became a famous prostitute was not because she became famous all the time, but because she gradually struggled from the bottom to gain the position. Through the legend in Nanjing, we can see that Kou Baimen in his early years was just an ordinary prostitute. If she hadn't had "girl changes in her age" at the end of her adolescence and became graceful, she might have disappeared from history.
However, Kou Baimen's treatment is only relatively important. Perhaps her reputation among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", but at that time, Kou Baimen was also a popular prostitute. Let’s look at the Kou sisters who are similar to Kou Baimen’s childhood experience. They are all regarded as tools for making money by their "mothers". Those who are beautiful can still find an honest person to sell for a good price. Those who are just as beautiful as others can only sell them at a low price. In the end, they can only taste it with a little red lips. At least compared to them, Koubaimen is much luckier.
If you are beautiful, you will have the capital to make friends with high-ranking officials and nobles.
Kou Baimen's face gave her the opportunity to meet Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi.
Zhu Guobi is a famous prodigal son in the Qinhuai River area, elegant and rich. Kou Baimen fell in love with this noble son at first sight, and after a brief contact, he decided to entrust him to his life.
We have mentioned in the previous article that Kou Baimen is very straightforward. She has been struggling in the romantic field for so many years and has learned so many skills, but she can't learn how to go around. Therefore, she showed her most sincere side to Zhu Guobi and honestly expressed her feelings to her lover.
Little do you know that no matter what era, the active party in love will often fall into a passive position, and the return of backward payment is usually only despicable. As a prodigal son in love, Zhu Guobi will never reject the charming Koubaimen, which has also opened the prelude to a tragedy.
Heroes and beauties, nobles of the previous dynasty and famous prostitutes in Jinling, this is probably the most gimmick keyword in troubled times. In the Ming Dynasty, when legendary literature was prevalent, the encounter between Kou Baimen and Zhu Guobi was a legend in itself. When I was in school, I also used this subject to practice writing and wrote a glitz-like work describing the love between the two in troubled times.
The moon is on the willows' heads, and the cold dew wet the leaves of Weidun, and the air is filled with autumn. What kind of mentality does his friend Wu Meicun knock on Bian Yujing's door? Zhu Guobi once did not know. However, when Zhu Guobi, who was over 50 years old, wanted to knock on the door knocker of the Kou family compound, the Duke Bao, who had experienced all kinds of experiences, did not even have the courage to knock on the door hard.
Thinking about the age of thirty, Zhu Guobi had been living in the title of "Duke of the Kingdom", believing that he was born to save the savior of the building. However, the sorrow of the family and the country made him gradually realize that the allusion of releasing military power was reappeared in himself, or that the mountains, rivers and the country had been destroyed to an unsustainable level. To this day, the title of "Duke Baoguo" is still in vain, and the court never thought of using Zhu Guobi.
and so on, the power and status granted by the Zhu Ming Dynasty later became a shackle, making the idle Zhu Guobi at a loss, just like a walking corpse.
The cold wind interrupted Zhu Guobi's stream of consciousness, and he and Wu Meicun stood in front of Bian Yujing's small building. Perhaps, in this chaotic world filled with gunpowder, there is only this pure land left in the Central Plains. Although the Qinhuai River is full of money and desire, the false intentions of the Qinhuai women have been the last stabilizer for the remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
As the door of the courtyard was opened, a girl as light as a fairy came slowly.
Lying in the New Year's white clothes, the white door is lonely and distorted.
The Red Building looks cold in the rain, and the bead foil floats back alone.
The distance is sad that spring is coming, and the dream is still vague in the end of the night.
How can I get the sealed letter of jade pendant? A geese fly in the clouds of thousands of miles.
The girl casually chanted a poem about "Spring Rain" by Li Shangyin . Although Zhu Guobi didn't know why the beauty in front of him sang spring poems in late autumn, it didn't matter. In the girl's tone, Zhu Guobi felt a fresh and natural style of poetry, and his frown was stretched all year round.
The noble Duke Baoguo was like an ordinary person who had accidentally entered the fairyland, destroying the fairyland created by the fairy. Zhu Guobi is definitely not a novice in love. He has already experienced the love of countless bitches on the banks of the Qinhuai River. However, when he mentioned the charm of Qinhuai prostitutes around his friends such as Wumeicun, like a show-off, these noble literati just smiled meaningfully.
It turns out that what a real scholar wants in a brothel is not physical pleasure. His years of prostitution experience is just a vulgar market behavior in the eyes of these high-level prostitutes. Zhu Guobi, who was already worried about national affairs, naturally would not be able to surrender in this regard. He specially made an appointment with Wu Meicun to see the legendary Bian Yujing.
The girl in front of him was waiting for Zhu Guobi to respond. He had never seen such a prostitute like a fairy, and he forgot his original intention to come here for a while. It was not until this time that Zhu Guobi realized that his realm was really not high. Zhu Guobi said with a tough forehead: "Is the girl Bian Yujing?"
Who knew that the girl was angry after hearing this sentence. She just said lightly: "Since I am here to find Saisai, I will take my leave."
Zhu Guobi felt lost, not knowing which of her words was abrupt and beautiful woman.
Wu Meicun said with a smile: "Mr., you are really a shame.Haven’t the girl’s name been told to you long ago? Do you pretend to be ignorant or do you not understand the charm? It seems that you are not destined to be. "
Zhu Guobi then realized that the sentence "The Baimen is lonely and distorted" was about the name of this girl - Koubaimen! Zhu Guobi never expected that he was really a vulgar person. Could it be that this was the last time he saw that girl?
No, of course not.
Who is Zhu Guobi?
The Lord of the Chongzhen Dynasty was alone. At least in the territory of Nanjing, he was an existence equivalent to a local emperor, and no woman he wanted could refuse.
For another When he saw Koubaimen, Zhu Guobi did not hesitate to pry open Kou's mother's mouth with a sea of gold and silver, and got the opportunity to meet Koubaimen again. From then on, Zhu Guobi lingered here like a small building in the Kou family living on Chaoku Street.
Koubaimen had never seen such a simple-minded man. He never said any sweet words, but only knew how to use money to achieve his goal. The more cold Koubaimen was, the more silver Zhu Guobi threw.
Kou's mother once said: "There is no good thing for those men who are full of spoils. Only men who are willing to spend money for you are rare treasures. "We don't know how much money Zhu Guobi spent in the Kou family building.
In fact, for Kou Baimen, no matter how powerful a man has, it is difficult to get her favor. What Kou Baimen desires is just a heartwarming man who holds her in his palm and is afraid of being melted. Although Zhu Guobi does not understand the charm and his way of expressing love is straightforward and vulgar, he is the man among all men who is willing to spend the most time on Kou Baimen.
Therefore, in Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi is the hero Xiong's illusion.
How much did Zhu Guobi spend when he married Koubaimen? There were many different opinions in Nanjing. In short, boxes filled the Kou family's courtyard with gold ingots, and Kou's mother's mouth was so happy that she grinned at the back of her ears. Zhu Guobi dispatched five thousand soldiers that night and used the torches in their hands to decorate the entire Wuding Bridge with open fire.
In response, women in the streets and alleys said: "If Koubaimen was not a prostitute woman, I'm afraid this wedding would be the grandest official marriage in Nanjing throughout history. "However, Kou Baimen's mind was not on these flashy things. She just quietly lifted the veil, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and secretly glanced at the handsome and mighty Zhu Guobi who was tall and tall. At this moment, Zhu Guobi was the only hero in the world, the great hero who saved Kou Baimen from water and fire.
Kou Baimen was not a main house after all, and he was not qualified to live in the Duke's mansion.
So, in order to fill the regrets in the hearts of the beauty, Zhu Guobi bought land in the most prosperous streets and alleys, and built a palace that was even more luxurious than the palace garden with crystal, agarwood, nanmu, and coral.
Kou Baimen whispered on Zhu Guobi's shoulder: "It's a waste. "Zhu Guobi just smiled slightly and didn't care. Zhu Guobi felt that these were the only ones he could give Kou Baimen, that's all. If he could gain the trust of the court, he would rather lead these 5,000 soldiers to the battlefield north and take Kou Baimen to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.
However, in troubled times, Zhu Guobi had no way to serve the country, so he could only rot in a corner of Jinling and imprison his most beloved woman in a golden cage. Zhu Guo Bi dared not tell Kou Baimen that she was definitely not the great hero in her mind. Zhu Guobi never mentioned the war at the border in front of Kou Baimen, but the cunning Kou Baimen could also hear the great events in the north through the mouth of a maid.
On that day, when Zhu Guobi appeared beside Kou Baimen with a smile, the clever woman said inadvertently: "The Qing army has already entered the pass. "
Zhu Guobi did not dare to look up at Kou Baimen's expression, he could only say with a tough bullet and said, "Yes, I'll go south soon. "
Thinking of the ending of the two in the troubled times, Kou Baimen couldn't help but shed tears. She asked, "The Qing soldiers are fighting here, where should we go? ”
Zhu Guobi replied: “I will send you to a safe place. ”
Kou Baimen did not answer, but just hugged Zhu Guobi silently, preventing him from seeing the tears on his cheeks.
In order to protect Koubaimen, Zhu Guobi did not hesitate to take his family to the capital and was placed under house arrest by the Qing court. The Qing court entered the pass shortly after, in order to show that the Qing Dynasty had not abused the old man in the previous dynasty, it did not kill Zhu Guobi, but only deprived him of his freedom.
Kou Baimen knew that the man he loved deeply was free by nature and hated the days when he was merciless the most. Therefore, in order to save Zhu Guobi, Kou Baimen returned to the Qinhuai River and returned to his old business, and finally raised a huge sum of money from his former good sisters. With this money, Koubaimen cleared the joints of the Eight Banners and redeemed Zhu Guobi's freedom.
On the day when Zhu Guobi was saved, he immediately hired a carriage to return to Jinling. After
, after inquiring from many sources, Kou Baimen had re-entered his family and started a business with flesh and blood. Zhu Guobi's mood was quite complicated. He gave all the women he wanted to protect and actually used this method to help him escape. Zhu Guobi, who had been revisiting the old place, came to Chaoku Street again and stopped in front of the most familiar small building.
This is the place where Koubaimen operated a business in his early years. The plaque "Kou Mansion" picked by him has now been hung again. There are red candles on the small building, and it seems that someone has visited Koubaimen's business tonight. Zhu Guobi walked and hesitated repeatedly in front of the door. He didn't know whether he should knock on the door and took his sweetheart away again.
Zhu Guobi, who encountered all this, became increasingly weak, and even the courage to get close to the small building had been lost.
Cold rain fell just at the right time. Zhu Guobi, standing in the light rain, was in a mood. This small building that once made him feel warm is now as cold as this.
Kou Baimen is still as charming as it used to be, right?
Is there still a sense of sorrow that cannot be dissipated between her eyebrows?
Did she write her name on the orchid?
Zhu Guobi was angry that he could not raise the courage to take back Koubaimen, he was angry that he did not have the ability to rewrite this troubled time, he was angry that he could not save a woman.
He is a fake hero after all, but Err.
Thinking of this, Zhu Guobi left with a laugh. Kou Baimen looked at Zhu Guobi's distant figure in the small building, tears flowing...
When I was a teenager, I would inevitably regard Zhu Guobi, who pulled her out of the fire pit, as a hero, just like Kou Baimen. However, the real history is much crueler than the novel.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, visited Qinhuai with a group of literati and came to the old courtyard of the Kou family with everyone's recommendation. Zhu Guobi is the most prominent among all the people present, so it is natural that Kou Baimen, the most famous prostitute, should be accompanied by the most famous prostitute. After a brief contact, Kou Baimen had a good impression of the man in front of him.
Zhu Guobi is both romantic and rich, and gentle, revealing a sense of nobility in every move. When Kou Baimen expressed his feelings secretly and obscurely, Zhu Guobi immediately proposed to marry without hesitation. For Zhu Guobi, it doesn’t matter whether Kou Baimen is beautiful or ugly. What he values is nothing more than the “famous” of Kou Baimen.
As Duke Bao, he has been lingering in the fireworks and willow alleys all year round. What kind of woman has never seen before? He just wanted to take Koubaimen into a forbidden property and use it as a gimmick to earn the reputation of "a elegant man". In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Guobi arranged a grand wedding for the 17-year-old Kou Baimen.
During the Ming Dynasty, all women of music who remarried and became good must be carried out at night. Zhu Guobi was afraid that the people in Nanjing would sleep soundly, so he specially arranged 5,000 soldiers to occupy the streets and alleys openly, and beat drums and drums to marry Kou Baimen to the newly built small building.
People say that Koubaimen is a lucky woman. Even if she is reincarnated at a prostitute’s house, she can still hope for a lover who is willing to spend a lot of money to organize a wedding for her. Even Kou Baimen herself had the illusion that she was an ordinary girl. At this time, Zhu Guobi treated herself as a treasure like a prince in her dream.
In fact, only Zhu Guobi, the truth is known to the Duke of Baoguo.
All the movements he made were to seize the headlines of the Nanjing literary circle tomorrow. At that time, the literati and scholars in Jinling City will all tell about Zhu Guobi's romantic deeds, making his reputation even louder.
Kou Baimen's emotional experience can be described as the sentence "When you get into the wrong sedan chair and marry the wrong man." For women, choosing a wrong marriage is undoubtedly the saddest thing in life, but this kind of thing happened to Kou Baimen.
Zhu Guobi's essence is a sleek and calculating nobleman. His purpose of marrying Koubaimen is not simply. Perhaps, he was once moved by this famous Qinhuai prostitute, but this feeling has nothing to do with love. Just like a male animal in estrus meeting a spouse, Zhu Guobi, who was in his prime, also had physical needs, and his psychology would naturally be affected by women like Kou Baimen.
However, behind this traction caused by lust, there are not many hormones called love.
Moreover, for the high-ranking officials and nobles in the old society, both "Freud" and "Plato" were strange nouns, and they had no idea what love was.
Kou Baimen spent a short honeymoon with Zhu Guobi like a happy little woman. However, just one month later, Zhu Guobi's affectionate face was revealed. I don’t know if it’s because of genetic genes. Most of the children of the Zhu Ming Dynasty’s royal family lack emotional cells like , Zhu Yuanzhang and , and Zhu Guobi is no exception.
He became increasingly tired of Kou Baimen, feeling that this woman was no different from other women, but there was no lower prostitute on the other pleasure boat knowing how to cater to him. So he regained his former romantic young man nature and continued to linger in the place where Zhangtai was. Zhu Guobi, who is rich and rich, is deeply loved by prostitutes from Qinhuai River. Just like meeting and getting to know Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi replicated similar emotional experiences again and again, and revoked many famous prostitutes home as concubines, and abandoned them after playing with them.
1645, the army of Dorgon moved south in large numbers. Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty like those fence-bearing widows who followed the flow, becoming the first Ming Dynasty royal family to move closer to the new regime. Many people hate Zhu Guobi for being shameless, but they do not know that this result is already destined. How loyal can a guy who is not loyal to sacred things like love be to the righteousness of his family and country?
However, the late Ming old men had very little value to the Qing court. As long as they were willing to take the initiative to serve and set an example for other hard bones, this would be enough. There was an Eight Banners organization within the Qing Dynasty, so naturally it was not the turn to invite Zhu Guobi to be a nobleman. Therefore, Zhu Guobi, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was detained in a prison in the capital.
Zhu Guobi was desperate. He knew that if the Qing Dynasty had gained a foothold in the Central Plains, the first one would attack his own group of former nobles. So he used all his connections to clear up his relationships, hoping to convince the Eight Banners nobles to release themselves to freedom.
Originally, Zhu Guobi was an irrelevant little person to Manren, and it didn't matter whether he died or lived.
So, the Eight Banners nobles in charge of this matter offer a bid code. As long as Zhu Guobi can take out 20,000 taels of silver for redeem, he can pack his luggage and go back to Jinling.
Zhu Guobi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately contacted the musicians in the capital, wanting to sell all the female family members in his family.
This is the cheapest time in Kou Baimen's life. In the past, if you want to meet with a famous prostitute like Kou Baimen, the client had to take out at least a hundred taels of silver, which was worthy of drinking a pot of tea with Kou Baimen. However, today's Koubaimen is like the cabbage in the market, and is listed by Zhu Guobi for people to choose from.
The Manchu nobles saw that Koubaimen had a shocking appearance, so they asked Zhu Guobi for the sale price.
Zhu Guobi replied, "She is just a concubine of mine. I think it's enough to sell it for 100 taels."
Kou Baimen originally thought that she was a priceless treasure in Zhu Guobi's heart, but she never expected that the price offered by Zhu Guobi was so depressed.
So, Kou Baimen said to Zhu Guobi: "If you sell me, you can only exchange it for 100 taels of silver. If you let me go back to Jinling, I can earn ten thousand taels of silver in just one month to repay your redemption."
Zhu Guobi's redemption fee was as high as 20,000 taels. The hundred taels of silver that sold Kou Baimen was naturally a drop in the bucket. So, Zhu Guobi agreed to Kou Baimen's suggestion without hesitation and asked her to return to Jinling to raise money.
At this time, Zhu Guobi was not worried that Kou Baimen would run away. After all, he has reached the end of his life now, and there is no other way except to believe that Kou Baimen has a gamble.
So, Kou Baimen took his maid Dou'er back to Jinling and returned to the old courtyard of the Kou family to start a flesh-hearted business. Because Kou Baimen had a good relationship with many famous prostitutes in his early years and was very popular in the circle, the sisters who heard about her experiences donated generously and raised 20,000 taels of silver for her in just a few days.
In the end, Kou Baimen asked someone to send the money to Zhu Guobi to help him redeem it.
At this time, Zhu Guobi never dreamed that the concubine Kou Baimen, who was summoned by him, had such great powers and her value was immeasurable.
So, Zhu Guobi, who returned to Nanjing, immediately came to the door and wanted to pick Kou Baimen home.
Who knew that at this time, Kou Baimen didn't even bother to look at Zhu Guobi, but said lightly: "In the early years, you paid some money to redeem me. Today I will use some money to redeem you. Now we have cleared up, so there is no need for you to bother me anymore."
In fact, these two things are completely incomparable.
Why did Kou Baimen fall into the world? She was born in a prostitute's house and she had no choice but to do so. Why was Zhu Guobi under house arrest by the Qing people? Isn’t it because he is a complete corrupt man who takes the initiative to deliver it to his door? It is really a very cheap thing to compare himself with Zhu Guobi. Because, the two are really different in character.
However, leaving a man like Zhu Guobi early is not a bad thing for Kou Baimen. If Kou Baimen had been with Zhu Guobi, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would have done anything worse. After entering the Zhu family, Kou Baimen kept enduring the grimace and betrayal, but he left with great dignity. Of course, this dignity was not only obtained for 20,000 taels of silver, but also achieved by her noble character who valued righteousness and promised one promise to win over ten thousand gold.
There is a poem "Twenty Thousand" sighed:
Short clothes return to Jinling with wind and snow, red beans are floating and weak.
I have been hiring more than 20,000 yuan, so how can I talk about the crimson gauze lantern?
From this day on, Kou Baimen returned to the old courtyard of the Kou family in Nanjing and restored the identity of the famous prostitute Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen, who had left Zhu Guobi, paid out of his own pocket to renovate the courtyard and dressed himself up in a colorful manner.
I heard that Kou Baimen has returned to the romance and mistress circle, and Jinling’s client circle is full of people every year.
Kou Bai's gate welcomed them into the door and drank and had fun with them. Whenever the wine is in full swing, Kou Baimen will sing and then cry at the desk.
Although Kou Baimen still has charm today, she has given her best youth to the unfaithful man Zhu Guobi.
This kind of life lasted for several years until Jinling Xiaolian Yang Celi Li came to the door and married Kou Baimen home.
Kou Baimen initially thought that Yang Celi was the last destination of his life, and tried to open his heart to him. Unexpectedly, Yang Celi's nature is no different from Zhu Guobi, both of whom are indecisive, unwilling and frugal.
On him, Kou Baimen saw Zhu Guobi's shadow again. Now Kou Baimen is completely disappointed with love, returns to the bank of Qinhuai River, and decides to live a life in the land of fireworks.
As for how Kou Baimen passed away, there are many different opinions in the historical community.
The most widely circulated statement is that Kou Baimen was angry to death by the unfaithful Han Sheng.
In Kou Baimen's old age, her face no longer had the charm of the past. However, because Kou Baimen is famous, there are still countless literati and madmen who are looking for her. Among these young heroes, Kou Baimen admires the talented man Han Sheng the most.
Han Sheng is different from Zhu Guobi. When the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he insisted on not being in office and had a high sentiment. Although Kou Baimen vowed not to leave the prostitute again, she bet on Han Sheng for the last love, hoping that this confidant could accompany her for the rest of her life.
One time, Kou Baimen fell ill, and she asked the maid to invite Han Sheng to the house. After the two met, Han Sheng's concern for him made Kou Baimen feel the warmth again. She cried and told Han Sheng about the bitterness and suffering she had experienced over the years.That night, Kou Bai's goalkeeper Han Sheng stayed in the bedroom, hoping that he could spend the night with him.
Little did he know that in the early morning Kou Baimen was awakened by the whispers outside the window, and Han Sheng beside him had long disappeared. Kou Baimen pushed the door out and found that Han Sheng was mingling with his maid. It turned out that Han Sheng's intention was not to drink. His purpose of approaching Kou Baimen was to get close to his young and beautiful little maid.
Kou Baimen has always treated people humbly, and even the little maid with a humble status is no exception. Kou Baimen does not want the maid to spend her life with a misfortune like herself, and hopes that she can get married as a good person as soon as possible. However, seeing the little maid hang out with the unfaithful Han Han Sheng, Kou Baimen was extremely angry.
Only then did she realize that although Han Sheng was honest, he was not loyal to love. Isn’t this another copy of Zhu Guobi?
After Han Sheng had a crush on her, he ruined his favorite maid, which made Kou Baimen at a loss. Kou Baimen forced himself to hold on to the sick body and taught the dog man and woman a lesson with a whip. Little did the maid understand Kou Baimen's intentions at all. After being beaten, she sneered at Kou Baimen, saying that she was old and ugly and could not see other girls.
Immediately, Kou Baimen was so angry that he vomited blood, allowing the man and woman to leave.
Kou Baimen's body was already uncomfortable, and she suffered such an accident, which made her completely ill. Kou Baimen, who had been sleeping in bed for a long time, became more and more cynical. He lamented that he had a heroic life, but he still did not receive good rewards. Kou Baimen, who has always been open-minded, finally got stuck in the slightest position. Her condition became more and more serious, and she passed away suddenly not long after.
She had never dealt with Duoduo, the king of Yu of the Qing Dynasty, nor did she feel relieved to humiliate the traitor and traitor. In the end, she was just a loathing person. This is the "aftermath" of Kou Baimen in the record.
Looking at Kou Baimen's life, her beauty and talent cannot help her find a true love in the world. In every love experience she has always been the one who is most involved and hurt, but she has never seen her disappointed or deceived her partner. It can be said that the men in her life, whether they are high-ranking officials or romantic celebrities, are not a real man. Not only did they not be able to give Kou Baimen a complete love, but each of them inserted a sharp blade into her heart, hurting this sensitive woman all over her body.
After Kou Baimen passed away, Liu Rushi's husband, former Donglin leader Qian Qianyi, wrote a poem for her, called "Kou Baimen", to commemorate this flower in troubled times withered life:
Kou family sisters are always beautiful, and they have been fascinated by flowers for eighteen years. Qinhuai today is afraid that he will be worth the most, so he will not be able to wear red tears.
Cong of the red pinks miss Jun's kindness, who knows Kou Baimen?
The heart of the loess is not dead when the coffin is covered, and a wisp of fragrant pills is the fragrant soul.
In the hundreds of years later, most of the passionate prodigal sons in later generations sighed at Kou Baimen's life situation and created touching and memorable works for her. If Kou Baimen could read these words under the 9th fountain, he might feel relieved.
Of course, if Koubaimen is just like this, we will never forget it. In fact, if Kou Baimen's actions were only this, it would be a very questionable thing if she could have been unanimously praised by many former Ming Dynasty veterans and young men at that time, and was praised as a "female hero".
So, you should know more about Koubaimen.
In fact, Kou Baimen was not old after returning to the south, only about thirty years old, and he was dating her not only "young men". For example: Fang Wen, a famous Ming Dynasty legitimate old man, had a poem in "Tushan Collection" "Welcome to Zhang Cangshui and Li Qizhan Drinking Kou Baimenzhai's Head" and said:
The old people still had the White Gate, and they met under the lamp and were heartbroken.
As soon as you arrive in Nanzhong, I ask you, knowing that you are avoiding the world and staying away from the world.
This time, I didn’t see the Youren leaving, and I was ashamed of the autumn river and the dusk clouds.
life pictures are very difficult to meet, and it is particularly fun to meet each other this evening.
is only considered as a good friend in poetry, and should not be regarded as a girl.
From this point of view, although Kou Baimen was in charge of all the students during this period, his actions were not all about "I also lamented the lateness of the beauty and lamented the drift of red beans". Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "knowing that you are avoiding the world and staying away from the world" and "you should not be a girl."
Let’s take a look at the poem "Present to Kou Baimen" written by Wu Meicun for him after Kou Baimen's death:
Mr. Zhu Gong turned his back and moved to a thousand gold medals, and he used his plan to deepen his mind.
Today, just because Gou Jian died, it is difficult to unite the red pink.
This is a bit intriguing. In this poem, Wu Meicun compared it to Xi Shi.
Xi Shi knew that after King Goujian of Yue lost the war against Wu, he adopted the fourth "Nine Techniques of Defeating Wu" in Wenzhong, "leaving the beauties to confuse their hearts and confusing their plans", and got Xi Shi and Zheng Dan at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain. He also built a beautiful palace on Tucheng Mountain, taught singing and dancing etiquette to decorate the Luo River, taught to behave in Tucheng, and was close to the alleys of the capital. Three years later, the two completed their studies and were presented to King Wu by Fan Li.
Seeing these two beauties, King Wu Fuchai was very happy, built Gusu Terrace, built Guanwa Palace, and placed it in a house of pepper flowers. As a result, King Wu was addicted to wine and sex all day long, and lost the national government. During this period, he even more favored Xi Shi. In the end, Goujian destroyed the Wu Kingdom, and King Fuchai of Wu committed suicide.
And, after Kou Baimen's death, another literati Min Hua wrote in "Poems of Kou Baimen":
I feel indifferent to my life experience, and I am better to be redeemed gold;
Mu Weng's sentence is the rest of his life, and he is devoted to writing about brothels.
A century-old hero’s bones are buried in the empty mountains, who is the teardrop of the saplings?
combined with the names of the beautiful women, one is the festival of life and the other is the life of life.
Compared with Wu Meicun, his poems seem to be more clear. Judging from the poems of Wu Meicun and Min Hua, Kou Baimen's activities after returning to the south should not only be to welcome and send him to the door to show his smile. Her actions are likely to be the same as Xi Shi, using beauty as a means and national difficulties as urgent. She also interacted with Liu Rushi with her special status and worked hard for the anti-Qing cause.
Therefore, she was praised by people at that time as a "female hero".
is just an anti-Qing incident. Although there are only a few fellows who know the inside story, they are inconvenient and dare not write it clearly even if they know it. Therefore, the records of Kou Baimen after returning to Jinling in "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" are so hidden.
