Liu, whose real name is Yang Ai, is also called He Dongjun and I, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Liu has been very clever and studious since he was a child. It's a pity that he had an unhappy childhood. Because of her poor family, she was sold to Xu Fojia, a famous prostitute in Shengzegui homeland, as an adopted daughter and was educated. It is said that it is an adopted daughter, but it is actually a thin horse.
What is a thin horse? That is to say, girls who look good to poor parents are all bought and kept in the yard since childhood. Since childhood, they have not only to read and write, but also to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After mastering these basic skills, they must learn to treat people, stand and sit, and smile. Train this girl into a knowledgeable woman in all aspects and finally sell her at a good price. The so-called thin horse is actually a senior * * *.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, when Liu was fourteen years old, he was bought into the palace by Zhou Daodeng, an old friend of Wujiang. At first, he served Mrs. Zhou Fu, which was very popular with her. Later, Zhou Daodeng forced her to be his concubine. Zhou Daodeng had many wives and concubines, but Liu was a concubine for less than a year and almost lost his life in the trap of a group of concubines. It was Mrs. Zhou who remembered her original friendship, saved her life and sold her to Zhou Fu and prostitutes.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Liu Shiru descended to Zhangtai and changed his old name to Liu Yin. From then on, he showed self-pity and degeneration in troubled times. Liu is very talented and has a sense of integrity, and her appearance is more beautiful. It won't be long before she becomes a century-old celebrity in Qinhuai. It is said that in those days, Liu liked to wear Confucian clothes and men's clothes. In Songjiang, he interacted with Fu She, Ji She and party member, talked about current affairs and compared poems, which was very sought after by celebrities and scholars.
Although many people want her, Liu has a very high standard for choosing a husband. Among many literati, she only took a fancy to Chen Zilong. Chen Zilong is the leader of Fu She, and in their contacts, they are congenial. Unfortunately, Chen Zilong died in the anti-Qing War, and this love affair ended.
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Liu married Qian, the leader. After Qian married Liu, he built a magnificent crimson cloud building and red bean pavilion in Yushan. It is said that the crimson designed by Cao Xueqin comes from the crimson cloud building of the Liu family. They talked about poems and paintings, played the piano and sang songs in Jiangyun Building, which became a much-told story for a while.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty perished, and after Beijing was occupied by the Qing army, Zhu established the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing. Liu took out his own private money and made money as the minister of rites, hoping that her husband could contribute to the country. Unfortunately, the Qing army soon went south. Enemy at the Gates and Liu advised Qian to be a martyr with him, but Qian refused. Later, the Qing army occupied Nanjing, and Qian surrendered to the Qing dynasty without any backbone and became a courtier of the Qing court.
Money's life in the Qing court was not easy. He was not only suppressed everywhere, but also imprisoned many times. Finally, Liu took out his own money and bribed him to save him. In this case, Qian finally chose to resign and return to China.
After Qian returned to China, he lived a very ordinary life. But such a day was not what he wanted, so he died under long-term repression.
Liu was only 46 when Qian died. With the death of her husband, bad luck followed. After Qian died, the villagers gathered to seal up his property. In order to protect the property of money, Liu made a will by sucking blood, and then hanged himself. What is even sadder is that Liu did so much for money before his death, but in the end he didn't even enjoy the qualification to be buried with him. She was expelled from the ancestral grave of the Qian family, leaving her alone in the distance. The stone tablet in front of the tomb is only a little more than one meter, which reads: Hedong Jun, how miserable.
Although Liu is a famous prostitute, her strong patriotic feelings are worthy of admiration by future generations, and her final outcome is really regrettable.
