Xiao Fengxian held Cai ** to death, Cai's descendants: self-inflicted, father has no feelings
In Shenyang in 1954, a seriously ill lady died, holding a ** in her palm, on which was a man in military uniform, with a good temperament, which made her obsessed with her life.
This person is"Protector General"Cai Yi, and this lady was the famous little phoenix in the capital back then. Years later, Xiao Fengxian's stepdaughter said in an interview: "My stepmother has never forgotten Cai Ye in her life. ”
The story of Cai Ye and Xiao Fengxian originated from a legend in 1915. At that time, Cai Ye held heavy troops, guarded the frontier, received a call from Yuan Shikai, and came to Beijing.
At first, Cai was full of expectations for Yuan Shikai, hoping that he could lead the country to prosperity and strength. However, not long after, Cai Ye discovered Yuan Shikai's true intentions. It turned out that Yuan Shikai was secretly plotting to restore the imperial system on the surface.
He lured Cai to Beijing, hoping that he would become his right-hand man in his restoration, and also awarded him the title of "General Shiwei". However, after Cai Ye saw Yuan Shikai's ambition clearly, he was furious.
He decided that in order to protect the achievements of the Xinhai Revolution, he launched the "National Defense Movement" to crusade against Yuan Shikai. However, Yuan Shikai became suspicious of Cai's loyalty and fired him.
He placed Cai under house arrest in Beijing. In this case, Cai and his friends decided to take a special way to confuse Yuan Shikai. They pretended to be degenerate, and Cai even disguised himself as a businessman and mingled in Beijing's famous Bada Hutongs.
In these alleys, he meets Xiao Fengxian, a woman who has come to Beijing from the south to survive.
Xiao Fengxian, formerly known as Zhu Xiaofeng, was born in a poor family in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, his father was a military attache in the late Qing Dynasty, and his mother was a low-status partial house. However, a happy childhood did not befall the little phoenix.
When she was young, her father died of illness, and the mother and daughter were often bullied by the eldest wife, so they had no choice but to leave the Zhu family and find another livelihood. However, fate did not show mercy to them, and soon after, their mother also died due to long-term fatigue, leaving behind a fatherless and motherless little phoenix.
But fortunately, the wet nurse who used to work in the Zhu family adopted her, and Xiao Fengxian changed her name to Zhang Fengyun and started her new life. The wet nurse works at the governor's house in Zhejiang, but the turbulent years have made life difficult.
In 1911, when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, the revolutionaries in Hangzhou attacked the governor's yamen, and the nurse had to flee to Shanghai with the little phoenix. However, the turbulent society made their lives more difficult, and when their stomachs were so hungry that they "gurgled", the nurse could only let Xiao Fengxian learn from an artist surnamed Hu and named her "Little Fengxian".
Master Hu accepted Xiao Fengxian as an apprentice, traveled all the way to the north and south, and made a living by performing arts. In 1913, 13-year-old Xiao Fengxian came to Beijing and was sent to Yunjiban in Shaanxi Lane to sing.
She has a sweet voice, beautiful appearance, and gentle personality, and soon became famous in Bada Hutong. Although living in the brothel of Yingge Yanwu, the little phoenix is lonely in her heart, recalling her wandering life, and her heart is full of the word "sadness".
It wasn't until she met Cai Ye that Xiao Fengxian's life took a turn for the better, and she became a person who left a mark in history from one of the duckweed in troubled times.
When Xiao Fengxian first saw Cai Ye, she was attracted by his unique "heroic spirit", which was very different from those "lucky guests" who only knew how to have fun. After many interactions, Cai Yi deeply admired Xiao Fengxian's integrity, kindness and understanding.
Xiao Fengxian also looked down on the erudite and talented Cai Ye and revered him even more. So, Cai Yi decided to use Xiao Fengxian to cover himself and avoid Yuan Shikai's eyes and ears. Since then, he has been lingering in the flower room of the little phoenix all day long, from morning to night, and even all night.
The original partner in the family couldn't accept that her husband was mixed with a prostitute, and even quarreled with the table, and took her mother-in-law back to her hometown in Hunan in a fit of anger. This is also part of Cai's plan, only then can he get out of the way.
Originally, Yuan Shikai was suspicious of Cai Ye's depravity, but after sending someone to secretly observe for a period of time, he found that Cai Ye really indulged himself, and he was overjoyed, so he relaxed his vigilance.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to mature, Cai began to plan an escape from Beijing. When he told Xiao Fengxian about his plan, Xiao Fengxian's heart was like a knife, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Take me with you!" ”
Cai Ye replied firmly: "This trip is full of dangers, when everything is stable, I will definitely pick you up!" Xiao Fengxian could only nod, but this promise became Cai Yi's last thought for Xiao Fengxian.
In the end, with the full cooperation of Xiao Fengxian, Cai Ye successfully escaped from Yuan Shikai's house arrest and launched the "National Defense Movement", crushing Yuan Shikai's restoration ambitions. However, the life of a hero is always so short, and in 1917, Cai Yi, who had dedicated his life to the revolution, died of illness at the age of 34.
Cai Yi, who was in the prime of his youth, ended his extraordinary life in this way, and his death shocked the whole country, and it made Xiao Fengxian's heart twist like a knife. Cai Yi's last wish is to keep the funeral simple, but as a hero of the nation, how can he let his posthumous affairs be so hasty?
Finally, under the arrangement of Li Yuanhong, Cai Ye held a grand state funeral ceremony in Beijing.
Why is your fate so bumpy? A few years later, Xiao Fengxian changed her name to Zhang Xifei, married a boiler worker, and became the stepmother of four children.
Although life is very hard, compared with the previous life in the Eight Hutongs, it is a world of difference, but Xiao Fengxian has no complaints. She still maintains the habit of loving cleanliness and still likes to rub a little powder on her face.
In order to make a living, she also began to do some work, as a maid, as a worker in a garment factory, and so on. However, no one around her knew that this woman, who was different from everyone else, was the little phoenix who was a sensation in Beijing back then.
A few years later, her husband Li Zhenhai also died of illness, and Xiao Fengxian lived a difficult life with her four children. In the most difficult time, she chose to turn to a celebrity for help, that is, Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang.
Xiao Fengxian once left a regrettable love story in the long river of history, and her life has also experienced twists and turns. In 1951, when Mei Lanfang passed by Shenyang, she took her stepdaughter to visit.
Mei Lanfang not only gave her a sum of money, but also arranged a job in a kindergarten for her, which was like a relief in the snow for the little phoenix who was in a down-to-earth life.
However, Mei Lanfang and Xiao Fengxian have never had any contact with each other, because in that era, Xiao Fengxian's past identity was too sensitive and easy to cause her trouble. Xiao Fengxian cherishes this new job very much, and her diligence touches everyone.
However, in the dead of night, she still thinks of the people and things in the past, and looks at Cai Yi's ** in a daze. Although the children asked who the man on the ** was, Xiao Fengxian just whispered that he was a friend.
These five words exhausted the sourness in her heart. Although he has been here for a while, he carries the thoughts and pains of her life. Now, the little phoenix who has been in turmoil for half her life unfortunately suffers from Alzheimer's disease and is once again in trouble.
However, her story teaches us that no matter how hard life may be, we need to be kind and grateful, because everyone has the potential to make a lasting impression in our lives.
In the pain, she has lost her cognition of the things around her, but she has a soft spot for that **. Whenever she is depressed, as long as her stepdaughter hands her **, she will immediately return to her calm.
As the old saying goes: "There are many dementions when you are old, but you can't forget lovesickness." In 1954, Xiao Fengxian ended her life, she held the ** under the pillow in her hand before she died, until the last moment of her life, she still deeply missed the man named Cai Ye in her heart.
However, it is a pity that Cai's descendants have a repulsive attitude towards Xiao Fengxian, probably because they can't accept that their father is having an affair with a prostitute, and they bluntly say: "It was Xiao Fengxian who was amorous, and her father never had any feelings for her." ”
But these are no longer important, the important thing is that Cai Yi brought love and warmth to the life of the little phoenix, for the little phoenix who strayed into the dust, although he can't grow old with his lover, but it is enough to have that memory.
When Xiao Fengxian closed her eyes, would she recall the first time she met Cai Ye when she was 15 years old, when they drank tea and drank, talked about the past and the present, and the deep love, Cai Yi wrote: "The beauty is like jade, and the chivalrous woman is out of the dust." ”
