People from Nanjing, Jiangsu. A generation of talented women and famous prostitutes His masterpiece is A Letter from Du Nan to Hou Gongzi.
Southern girls with outstanding personality have the boldness of northerners, and all kinds of beautiful women on Qinhuai River have their own special boudoir. It is said that Li is the red girl who went upstairs on Qinhuai River. Xiang Mei Lu, the name sounds romantic. It is said that this building has a good geographical location. If put in this era of high housing prices, it is estimated that this small building will never come down. The small building stands by the water, standing on the railing upstairs, with a panoramic view of the Qinhuai River with clear smoke and bright water and colorful paintings.
However, the owner of Xiangmei Building is Aunt Li. Aunt Li was very red on the Qinhuai River when she was young. When she was old, she built such a building with all her savings. How like those women who are disappointed in men, they would rather buy their own houses.
After Aunt Li built Xiangmei Mansion, she adopted several adopted daughters. As you can imagine, such a woman must be very lonely if she lives alone in such a mansion all the year round. Being accompanied by her goddaughter is another kind of retirement. Aunt Li's goddaughters entertain guests with poems, wine and dances. They are all beautiful, and with the * * * of Aunt Li over the years, they are quite famous in Nanjing. Among these goddaughters, Li is Aunt Li's favorite and the one who can give Lou the most support. She is the number one person in Xiangmei Building.
Li grew up beside Aunt Li, who was good at singing and dancing, and was proficient in everything. She also learned that Aunt Li is generous and chivalrous in temperament, which is really lovable. It is said that Li's appearance is also very distinctive. She is petite and exquisite, with straight eyebrows and slightly upturned lips, which looks a bit playful. Because she is petite and fragrant, with a sweet word in her name, the guests call her "Xiangfan Pendant". Now that I think about it, it should be the beauty of a typical petite girl in the south. It is said that southern girls are gentle and graceful, but such looks deserve generous and chivalrous character. No wonder men like it.
Love is a long way to go, Xiu Yuan. Li met Hou Fangyu when he was 0/6 years old and fell in love with him at first sight. Hou Fangyu was born in Shangqiu, Henan Province. His grandfather Hou Zhipu was Tai Changqing of Ming Dynasty, and his father Hou Yao was Minister of Commerce, both of whom were honest and loyal ministers. I studied poetry with Ni, a famous scholar in my hometown since childhood. Min Hui is versatile and has made rapid progress. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, 22-year-old Hou Fangyu came to Nanjing to attend the ceremony. Self-reliant, talented and handsome, Hou Fangyu, a young man, didn't take exams seriously. When he came to the flashy place of the Six Dynasties, he had to set foot in a romantic place.
Although Meixianglou is famous on the Qinhuai River, most of Aunt Li's goddaughters are entertainers and don't sell themselves, especially Aunt Li's beloved Li. Because of years of hard work in the romantic field, Aunt Li finally knew, and often interacted with some literati. Therefore, Meixianglou is more literary. That day, Hou Fangyu was introduced by his friend Yang Longyou and came to Meixianglou. Many people come here to see Li's elegant demeanor, and it is no exception.
After seeing Li, I followed her into the room. The paintings and antiques in the room are arranged in an orderly way. At this moment, Hou Fangyu suddenly saw a picture with a poem on it. Hou Fangyu likes this painting very much. Li immediately asked who drew it, and she was embarrassed to say that she doodled it herself. Hou Fangyu was surprised to hear the answer. She didn't expect a brothel woman to do this. So the two began to talk about the painting, and finally the more they talked, the happier they became. They love each other and regard each other as bosom friends. Before leaving, I asked for a pen and gave it to Li as a gift for our first meeting.
It is said that I fell in love with Li at first sight. At that time, if a guest falls in love with a woman in a romantic place, then a grand ceremony must be held. Now it seems that this ceremony is a kind of respect for women, and then a large sum of money is given to the procuress to let this woman serve this man exclusively. This process is called "combing". However, how much to pay is determined according to a woman's worth. Of course, the first card is the first card, and the second line is certainly cheaper. However, Li belongs to the expensive kind. With her position, she will invite a large number of well-known scholars when dressing up. It was interesting to say this custom at that time. If you can't get the woman you love and watch other men get it, the grooming ceremony plays such a role.
I wanted to tidy up Li, but he didn't bring much money because he came out to take the exam. At this time, his friend Yang Longyou gave him great support. Because he really wanted to be with Li, he didn't ask him how he got such a large sum of money, only that he would pay him back in the future. In this way, the grooming ceremony went smoothly. That night, a first-class carved ivory white silk palace mountain was given to Li as a token of love, and an amber fan pendant handed down from Hou Jiazu was attached to the fan.
