Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 98 Chen Yuanyuan in Taohuawu

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    We chatted about the situation in the Ming Dynasty and the customs and customs without feeling bored, and we entered Suzhou unknowingly.

    This is a city that is not inferior to Hangzhou at all.

    Here, you can¡¯t feel the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty at all, and you can¡¯t feel the urgency of the situation at all.  Life here is exquisite and comfortable, full of paradise style.

    No one here is in a hurry, everyone is taking their time.  Perhaps because of this, Suzhou has always been rich in talented people and beauties.

    Ding Yunyi and his party arrived in Suzhou for the first time, and they didn¡¯t know where to look for Wang Chengen.  I just found an inn to settle down, thinking about the beautiful scenery of Suzhou, I left the inn and walked all the way.

    After walking for a while, I asked a passerby where the scenery was good nearby. The passerby looked at them and pointed forward: "In front is Taohuawu, but all foreign guests who come to Suzhou don't go there."

    "Wu Nong's soft words are very helpful to your ears.

    "Taohuawu?" Ding Yunyi scratched his head: "I remembered a person and a poem."

    "The third brother is talking about Tang Yin, right?" Qin Yun said with a smile.

    Ding Yunyi also laughed: "It's Tang Yin. Tang Yin is Tang Jieyuan, known as 'the most romantic and talented man in the south of the Yangtze River'. You, Qin Yun, are Qin Jieyuan, and I'm afraid you're not as good as Tang Jieyuan in terms of style."

    Qin Yun laughed "haha".

    When you come to Taohuawu, there are many former gardens and residences and gentry halls. Common people's houses are lined up in rows. Business workshops can be seen everywhere, the most prosperous of which is the New Year painting workshop.

    ??I walked to a New Year painting workshop. The painting was a peach blossom tree, and there was a poem beside it. It was Tang Yin's famous "Peach Blossom Temple Song":

    "In Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, there is a Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees and picks peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. When he is sober, he only sits in front of the flowers, and when he is drunk, he comes to sleep under the flowers If the flower wine is  Comparing horses and chariots, I am too busy to work. Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others who cannot see through it. There are no flowers or wine in the fields.

    Qin Yun fell in love with the painting as soon as he saw it, and bought it immediately without negotiating the price with the boss.

    "You have to go to Taohuawu to come to Suzhou, and you have to go to the Liyuan to go to Taohuawu, otherwise your visit will be in vain.

    Several people entered the opera garden, and there was a sign hanging that was about to perform the Kunqu Opera "The Romance of the West Chamber", which is considered a famous drama.

    We found a seat and sat down, and gave the waiter tea money.  Looking around, everything is packed. If you come a little later, there won't even be a seat left.

    ?Looking at the tea guests, all of them looked excited and expectant, not knowing what they were waiting for.

    After a while, "The Romance of the West Chamber" officially started. Kun Opera Ding Yunyi and his brother could hardly understand it, but they just found it very pleasant to listen to, just like Wu Nong's soft words, which made people enjoy it greatly.

    The person who plays Cui Yingying is a famous prostitute from Taohuawu with a very famous name, but the strange thing is that the tea guests don't seem to be interested in it at all.

    "Matchmaker" When "Cui Yingying" opened her mouth to say this, the whole room burst into applause.

    The matchmaker actually steals the limelight more than Cui Yingying?  Ding Yunyi is very curious.

    "The Romance of the West Chamber" originally tells the story of the death of the former Prime Minister Cui. Mrs. Zheng and her daughter Cui Yingying were sending her husband's coffin back to Hebei for a safe burial. However, they were blocked on the way and temporarily stayed at Pujiu Temple in Hezhong Prefecture.  This Cui Yingying is nineteen years old, a famous knitting girl, good at poetry and calligraphy, and can do anything.  When her father was still alive, she had been betrothed to Zheng Heng, the eldest son of Zheng's nephew Zheng Shangshu.  Later, the scholar Zhang Sheng happened to meet the young lady and matchmaker who were playing outside the palace.  The story of two people who fell in love with each other and finally got married with the help of a matchmaker.

    In the story, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying are the worthy male and female protagonists. The matchmaker is a supporting role, but now it seems that the supporting role has the intention to replace the protagonist.

    When the matchmaker came up, the cheers were even louder, making the play unbearable.

    "Matchmaker" opened her mouth, and then the whole place fell silent.

    The "Matchmaker" applied a little pink powder, Ding Yunyi looked forward, and when it fell on the "Matchmaker"'s face, he suddenly felt that even Han Xiaoxiao was slightly inferior compared to her.

    It¡¯s not the kind of breathtaking beauty, but as soon as I see her, I feel that all my worries will disappear with the wind.  She is beautiful, extremely beautiful, but that is not the most important thing.

    When you face her, you will feel that the world is so peaceful and your mood is so calm. No matter what kind of confusion you have, it will disappear without a trace because of her appearance.

    "There are actually such stunning women in the world."

    This sentence was spoken by Qin Yun, Ye Dahai and Xiao Yifeng at the same time.

    At this time, everyone's thoughts were no longer on "The Romance of the West Chamber", but all on "The Matchmaker".??.

    When the second "Cui Yingying Listens to the Musical Opera at Night" was finished, everyone started shouting and shouting like crazy.

    After a while, the madam came on stage and managed to calm everyone down:

    "Today is my Yuanyuan's first appearance on stage"

    Yuanyuan?

    Ding Yunyi suddenly knew who this "matchmaker" was.

    Her surname is Xing, her given name is Yuan, her courtesy name is Yuanyuan, and her given name is Wanfen.  His mother died young and he was raised by his aunt Chen's family, and his surname was changed to Chen.

    Chen Yuanyuan!

    "The three armies of the mourning army are all in mourning, and the beauty of the crown is the beauty of anger!"

    Chen Yuanyuan!

    Although Chen Yuanyuan is far less heroic than Liang Hongyu, she charmed Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng and Dashun Dynasty with her beauty, and also charmed countless men many years later.

    Even if Li Zicheng loses to the Manchus, if Wu Sangui does not surrender to Dorgon, the Manchus will be at least a few decades late in entering the border.  Chen Yuanyuan changed history by influencing others with her personal charm.

    In the days that followed, Wu Sangui, who was known as a national thief, took Chen Yuanyuan as his spiritual support. From Shanxi, he crossed the Yellow River, entered Tongguan, conquered Xi'an, defeated Li Chuang, settled in Yunnan, and drove Yongli.  , made great contributions to the unification of China by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    In fact, it is not necessary to shift all the blame to Chen Yuanyuan.

    She is just a woman. She has no ability to really change history. Everything about her is passive.  When had she ever taken control of her own destiny?

    "The Qi of the Ming Dynasty was in disarray, and King Chuang raised an army to cause a huge commotion. If Wu and Liu don't compete for beauties, how can one hundred thousand Qing soldiers enter the pass?"

    But almost everyone shifted the responsibility to Chen Yuanyuan, making her, a weak woman, take on responsibilities that she should not have had to bear in the first place.

    Ding Yunyi finally met Chen Yuanyuan with his own eyes.  How old is Chen Yuanyuan this year?  Eleven years old?  Still twelve years old?  Ding Yunyi couldn't remember.

    In his mind, the song "Linjiang Immortal¡¤Beauty Pain" about Chen Yuanyuan came up again:

    "To say that a city is beautiful and a country is beautiful is nothing more than a poor life and beauty. How can you be happy when you are without a master? Just now, I burst into tears, and I shed tears again. The iron horse is fighting all over the world, the dynasties are changing. The successful king and the defeated bandits have wiped out all the sons and daughters. Why do you have to shoulder the burden of disaster on your daughter?"
