Hu Xueyan was the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty and was known as the "red-top businessman". He has a big backer in the court, that is, Zuo Zongtang. Zuo Zongtang took a lot of care of Hu Xueyan in business, and Hu Xueyan knew how to repay his kindness and also supported Zuo Zongtang. This year, Zuo Zongtang wanted to go on an expedition to Xinjiang, but because the imperial court's finances were tight, he couldn't get military funds, so he had to be helped by Hu Xueyan to raise it. In order to facilitate the work of raising military funds, Hu Xueyan moved from Hangzhou to Shanghai. When the Qingming Festival arrived, Hu Xueyan went to Jing'an Temple, the most famous temple in Shanghai, to burn incense. When he was about to leave after burning incense, he suddenly saw a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar figure, was it Cuihuan? He didn't dare to confirm it. The woman took a girl with her, and the girl ran around and suddenly ran to a well, and the woman chased the little girl from behind and shouted for her to stay safe. As soon as Hu Xueyan heard this voice, it was Cuihuan. 
Who is Cuihuan? is Hu Xueyan's old man in Hangzhou, she is not only beautiful, but also very smart, ingenious, neat and decisive, Hu Xueyan admires her very much. But it seems that they had no fate at that time, by accident Hu Xueyan married Lu's wife, and Cuihuan also married a small medicinal herb merchant surnamed Luo, this person is the fourth in the family, known as Luo Si, Cuihuan is also Mrs. Luo Si, because her family lives near Luosimen, people call her Mrs. Luosi. Since then, Hu Xueyan has not been in contact with her, nor does he know about her situation after marriage. Why did she come to Shanghai now? So, Hu Xueyan stepped forward to talk to him. It turned out that she helped her husband to operate medicinal materials after marriage, and her life was quite good, but there were unforeseen circumstances, Luo Si suddenly became seriously ill and left, and the medicinal materials business could not be done, so in order to make a living, she had to take her daughter to Shanghai to open an embroidery room. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Hu Xueyan pondered that this was a godsend, he admired her before, but she was not married, and she couldn't miss it this time. When he told Mrs. Luo his idea, he didn't expect Mrs. Luo to readily agree, but there was one condition, that is, to be a wife, not an aunt's wife. Don't look at her as a widow and with a child, the requirements are really not low. This stumped Hu Xueyan, there is a wife Lu at home, and Mrs. Luo has to be correct, so what should I do? Fortunately, Hu Xueyan was extremely smart, and he thought of a way to solve this problem smoothly. Hu Xueyan bought a fortune teller, and cleverly arranged for a friend's wife to take Mrs. Luo to visit the temple fair, "coincidentally" met a fortune teller, she asked the fortune teller about the future of marriage, the fortune teller said that she had a hard life, life Li Kefu, can not be big, can only be small, if it is bigger, it will be a husband. Mrs. Luo really believed it, because her husband Luo Si was seriously ill and died. Hu Xueyan got his wish. As soon as she arrived at Hu's house, she not only took care of the family neatly, but also quickly became the pillar of Hu Xueyan's business, with her wise business acumen, she helped Hu Xueyan make decisions and run a business, which made Hu Xueyan's business the icing on the cake. A few years later, Hu Xueyan's wife Lu Shi fell ill and died, and Mrs. Luo was righted naturally and became Mrs. Hufu's palm print. 
Once Hu Xueyan joked to Mrs. Luosi: "I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to be famous, but only for profit, marry a wife and take a concubine, and be romantic for a lifetime, this life is enough!" "Mrs. Luosi is thoughtful, knows Hu Xueyan's temperament, likes beauties, and is good at looking for flowers and willows. So she did what she liked, while helping her take care of her business, she went around for her beauty, and within a few years, she accepted 12 aunts and wives for Hu Xueyan. These 12 aunts and wives are all as beautiful as flowers, and Hu Xueyan is naturally happy. He spent tens of thousands of dollars to build a beautiful building for them, called Jiaolou, and these 12 aunts and wives were also called "Jiaolou Twelve Hairpins". Hu Xueyan is like the emperor, every night if he wants to pamper whichever one, he will flop the cards, and whichever one he turns over, the other one will go to bed. Hu Xueyan lingered in Jiaolou, indulging in the hometown of Wen Xiang's daughter, and his body was not as good as day by day. There are fewer business matters. Later, Hu Xueyan's business empire collapsed, and he gave each of the 12 aunts and wives some silver taels to let them go their separate ways. And Mrs. Luo never gave up on her, and always accompanied Hu Xueyan to the end of her life. Soon after Hu Xueyan left, Mrs. Luo also chose to commit suicide.
