Smiling at the peach blossom fan, peach blossoms smile at the spring breeze

Chen Dingsheng is Chen Zhenhui, the oldest of the "Four Sons". Chen Zhenhui is also from a family of eunuchs, and her father works as a waiter in the personnel department, which is basically the same level as Grandpa Hou. When Grandpa Hou angered the eunuchs, Chen Zhenhui's father tried his best to exonerate him, so the Chen and Hou families were world friends.

Chen Ding's life experience is similar to Wu Yingji's, he has been taking the test but he can't pass the test, and he was later rated as a tribute student.

Chen Zhenhui has never done anything big in his life, which is normal, what a show has done is called abnormal, the only thing he is commendable about is that his handwriting is good, and he was once arranged to write when he drafted a big-character poster - "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos".

Participating in the drafting of "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Exposing the Post" is the biggest deed of Chen Zhenhui's life, so he became popular and became a banner of the Restoration Society, and it is also the source of his bad luck, because "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Exposing the Post" is aimed at the famous opera, writer, military strategist, traitor, and also the villain of "Peach Blossom Fan" - Mr. Ruan Dacheng and Ruan Huzi. Ruan Huzi later became a celebrity in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and settled accounts with the drafters who participated in the exposé, and arrested Chen Zhenhui as the first evil in prison, and almost didn't kill Chen Zhenhui, but fortunately, his friend and Hou Fangyu, who is also a son and daughter, bribed various judicial and administrative departments through a large number of improper money and power transactions, and fished Chen Zhenhui out of prison.

A few months later, the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing army, and most of Jiangnan was liberated. According to the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", the Qing army avenged Chen Zhenhui, not only Chen Zhenhui's friend, but also his benefactor. If the Qing people did not destroy the Southern Ming, Ruan Huzi could kill Chen Zhenhui at any time. However, Chen Zhenhui was a little confused, repaying virtue with grievances, not buying the accounts of the new court, ignoring the high salaries of the new court, not working, not being an official, not referring to it, and even refusing to enter the city for more than ten years in order to avoid the eyes of the court, non-violent and non-cooperative, living in a small village as an ordinary peasant, very much not eating Zhou Su.

The life of the peasants is very hard, like Chen Zhenhui's helpless peasants are even more bitter, he is not a good farmer, he does not know the season, does not understand the crops, has no strength, planting beans in the south of the mountain, the grass is full of beans and seedlings, and the life is becoming more and more unbearable. Fortunately, he wrote well, and used the pen and ink he once wrote amazing articles to write letters, couplets, eulogies, and write notes for Mengtong to beg for food and subsidize the family.

Poverty is terrible, and people are so poor that they are not even afraid of ghosts. Fortunately, the poor will be happy in their misery, and occasionally be poor and happy. What makes Chen Zhenhui happy is the pile of books on his desk.

The more sluggish the livelihood in this life, only a few rafters are erected on the bamboo and thatch.

Thousands of ancient and modern days disappear, and a window of dawn sends the passing years.

At the age of 52, Chen Zhenhui died of poverty.

Continue to forcibly sublimate the theme: life is only once, time is gone, everyone wants to live the greatness of the glory of death, when looking back on the past, I always feel that there are regrets that are not perfect, and I regret that I should not have been in the first place because I missed a precious opportunity. For the sake of their own beliefs and persistence, a generation of talented people like Chen Zhenhui and the second generation of high-ranking officials are willing to give up their good future, waste their lives, and quietly die in a dilapidated house in a rural area that no one knows, and regardless of whether it is right or wrong to do so, it can be seen that he is a ruthless person and a person worthy of admiration as long as he does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice and is poor and lowly. In this way, don't be in a hurry to live a lifetime of nothing, I don't know if there is any regret when he is dying, maybe he himself is frank and open, but we feel depressed and uncomfortable for him. The story of "Peach Blossom Fan" is in full swing.

In 1939, another autumn of the Ming Empire, the township examination ended for a period of time, the results had just been announced, and the young talents from all over the motherland who came to Nanjing City to take the examination had different joys, sorrows, and joys, some people were on the list, eating and drinking to celebrate, and then riding horses to break through the speed limit and once saw all the Chang'an flowers; some did not feel ashamed to be admitted, ashamed to see the old master of Chang'an, and quietly packed their luggage and prepared to leave; more people are still scolding the questions for being biased, scolding the papers for being too strict, and scolding the imperial examination system for harming people. There are also those who have not been admitted but don't care, Lao Tzu will come sooner or later, and it is very cool to be a white-clothed minister for the time being, and after a few years of normal performance, he will not be able to do whatever he wants if he has an official body.

21-year-old Hou Fangyu belongs to the category of Luodi, but he doesn't think that his level is not good, he just thinks that there is a problem with grading, and it is the society's fault, not his fault. On this day, he called Wu Yingji and Chen Zhenhui, who were as unlucky as him, and the three quasi-talents got together to drink stuffy. The unlucky trio has an unbalanced mentality, full of negative energy, and their eyes are full of the dark side of society, so they naturally have nothing good to say when they get together, first saying that the court is incompetent, the officials are corrupt, the national fortunes are difficult, and the people are not able to make a living; then they say that the Qing people in the north are rising, the army is pressing, the iron cavalry is going south, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger; then it is said that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion swept the whole country, and the soldiers are coming to the city of Beijing, and Chongzhen's good life is only afraid to come to an end; and finally he talked about Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other fierce generals died one after another, and the legions under his command perished, and the only Zuo Liangyu corps that could rescue Beijing in danger turned around and went to Wuchang on the way to Beijing to rescue, and became farther and farther away from Beijing.

The three of them all drank a little high, and one scolded the society and the court. But I didn't scold for a while, these days are like this every day, scolding and scolding can't do any new tricks, I feel bored, the general trend of the world and the country's danger is the problem of the high-level court is the court, a few of them can't even lift people to take the exam, they are really not qualified to participate in it, talk about the country, it's useless to talk about it, it's useless to talk about it, and even can't solve the problem of their own personal education, they are really not qualified to discuss the world's major events, so I listened to the joke. After the complaints were over, the three of them also talked happily, meeting to play and breathe fresh air, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanjing, and experience the customs.

Nanjing's mountains and rivers are beautiful, the weather is magnificent, and countless wars that determine the fortune of the country have taken place in Nanjing, and countless legends have also been left. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was already the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a large number of bazaars and prosperous literature. Of course, the most attractive is Nanjing's beautiful women such as clouds, Qinhuai singing and dancing is famous all over the world, after ten generations of accumulation, it has become a prosperous area of smoke and moon, a place where gold powder gathers, among which there are two Qinglou streets that are famous throughout the country: one is the traditional classic red light district - the old courtyard, and the other is the newly developed but good momentum of the red light district - Zhushi. In order to improve the quality of service and strengthen the brand effect, the old courtyard and the Pearl City introduced a large number of stunning beauties represented by "Qinhuai Bayan" to stay here or make cameos, which further promoted the vigorous development of the Qinglou industry, making it the most prosperous, the most famous, the highest grade, the most complete and the most popular red light district in the world at that time.

Across the river from the old courtyard Zhu City, there is a solemn place - Jiangnan Gongyuan. Jiangnan Gongyuan is the largest and most influential imperial examination venue in Chinese history, and millions of students in southern China have taken more important cadre positions through the assessment here, affecting the national economy and people's livelihood for hundreds of years.

Gongyuan and Qinglou across the river, a cloth with water, this match is very wonderful: on the one hand is a nervous exam, on the other hand is entertainment and leisure, on the other hand is love, on the other hand is a career, on the other hand is a serious Taoist gentleman, on the other hand, there are all kinds of beautiful women like clouds, not far away, not close, across the river, not only produces a sense of distance, but also has the meaning of wanting to refuse and welcome.

This perfect match is not only the inevitable product of local economic development, but also the result of the imperial court's macro-industrial strategic planning. In order to save time, the students who came to Nanjing to take the exam rented a school district room near the examination room, across the river from Qinglou Street. The so-called Yiren, on the water side, the tenderness of the bright wine and green girl is too lethal to the candidates who come to take the exam, which is not only the temptation of the heart, but also the biggest driving force to urge forward, both thinking that people are not in vain and are really sorry for themselves, and they have to show that the scholars are not chaotic and gentlemen, and the students are good people who are tormented, so they can only read aloud the articles of the sages and sages to cover up the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra on the opposite side, and it is also to calm the dry heart and liver to cope with the exam.

In addition to the Qinglou and Gongyuan, there is another place in Nanjing that is also very attractive to students - the Book Club. At that time, the book club was already very developed, and students could see the latest editions of books and all kinds of books here. The owner of the most famous book club is called Cai Yisuo. Boss Cai's business is relatively large, and he implements one-stop services for book compilation, printing, publishing, wholesale and retail. The content of the books is also very rich, from the propaganda books full of positive energy required by the court to the popular books that are not nutritious but the most attractive to readers, from traditional classic novels to contemporary newcomers' masterpieces, from the five or three days of daily practice, excellent essay collections and other must-read books to some illustrated unhealthy pamphlets, Boss Cai has everything here, fully meeting the needs of readers at all levels.

Boss Cai is an out-and-out shrewd businessman, but he thinks in his heart that he is a literary and artistic young man, and his roots are still a student of Confucius, and businessmen are just his appearance and means of livelihood. However, Confucius's students actually violated Confucius's teachings to pursue profits and sell sage books for money, and Boss Cai also felt embarrassed, so he laughed at himself and said that he "mixed with the smell of books and copper". In order to show the identity of the scholar, during the township examination, Boss Cai specially vacated a few rooms for some big editors, big customers, and son-in-law scribes to go to Nanjing for temporary free accommodation. The three sons of this article lived in the guest room prepared by Boss Cai.

Walking out of the study room, Zimo red dust is blowing on the face, flowers and trees are blooming, warblers are singing and dancing, and the traffic is busy, especially the summer heat has not gone, the weather is humid and tide, and some open-minded and bold young ladies are dressed very coolly, becoming a very eye-catching beautiful scenery. The three of them walked aimlessly, while paying attention to the professional women who were wearing quite frugal fabrics, laughing and scolding them for being immoral vixens, their eyes glued to the places on the vixen that should not be exposed, pondering which vixen to make a mistake in, and using the means to subdue the demon and subdue the demon.

Emotional experts pointed out that there are the following ten inducements for men to make mistakes: long-term absence of physical needs, high psychological pressure to take exams, being away from family without constraints, being alone in an empty room, empty and lonely, losing friends, the temptation of pink, having money in your pocket, and being open-minded. Hou Fangyu and the three of them have almost all of the above here, and it is really intolerable not to do something.

The

spring outside the window is intoxicating, the weather has just warmed up, the soft breeze blowing on the face is not cold, such as the lover's gentle hand is gently touching, the grass is everywhere in the world, such as the green Luo skirt often worn by the lover, the soft willow silk gently dances like the waist of the lover, and what is even more annoying is the light and crisp laughter of the girl from time to time on the street, which makes people feel a circle of ripples in the lake and can no longer be calm.
