What is Shen's love like?

Zhang Jian, the last top scholar and famous industrialist in China, was insulted and scolded to death by her husband who embroidered Shengshen. Yu said that Zhang Jian was "under house arrest before his death and buried after his death" to his wife Shen. Zhang Jian also put aside the solemn image of a scholar-bureaucrat, and added many unsightly words to Yu, who was born as a juren. The two sides were in full swing, and newspapers and tabloids also went into battle together, which became the biggest joke in Southeast China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Shen's maiden name is and she lives in Suzhou. Her family, who studied Confucianism for the third time, is a small intellectual or a small official family. Her mother, Song Shisheng, had three men and two women. Three men died, leaving only two women. Her father, Shen Chun, stayed in Zhejiang Salt Transportation Bureau for many years, and her mother lived with her two sisters. Mother can embroider, so she teaches her daughter the unique skills of embroidery bit by bit. Shen Bingxue is clever, learning embroidery and studying knowledge. They both like embroidery. At the age of thirteen, embroidery was already excellent and gradually became a commodity snapped up by local people.

In the fifteenth year of Guangxu, Shen has grown up, with bright eyes and white teeth, slender waist and petite figure. Yu, who lives in Baihua Lane, not far from Shenyang, is very fond of Shen. Liu Linchuan, a famous painter who has a long-term friendship with Shenyang, also went to Shenyang to match. As a result, Shen's mother didn't like Yu, saying that he was a little scholar and would never marry Shen. Her daughter should at least marry juren. Yu was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. His parents died when he was seven or eight years old. An uncle adopted him and took him to Suzhou. After listening to his mother, Shen studied hard. Two years later, he passed the exam. Liu Linchuan went to Shenyang as a matchmaker, and Shen's mother had nothing to say. On December 23rd, 19th year of Guangxu, Yu became related to Shen and rented a house next door to Shen.

I studied for a long time, and then I learned embroidery with my beloved wife for a long time. At that time, Shen's embroidery skills were superb. Exquisite and delicate, but the concept of composition has not yet broken away from the vulgar mode of "happiness from now on" and "prosperity and prosperity". Yu and Shen Zhaoxi cooperated to improve composition, timbre, artistic conception and composition. At that time, there was an embroidery family "Luxiang Garden" in Shanghai. Its owner, surnamed Gu, was founded in the Ming Dynasty. Their descendants are good at painters, which complement each other with embroidery. After entering the Qing Dynasty, the flower-and-bird banners embroidered in Luxiangyuan were almost regarded as arch walls by princes and nobles, and it was extremely difficult to find them. "Gu Embroidery" became famous. Now I combine my knowledge with Shen's skills, and the finished embroidery is really dazzling and superb. Everyone who has seen it said, "The needle goes fine and points to the next spring, which has already surpassed Luxiang Garden."

The 28th year of Guangxu is the seventieth birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. In the 26th year of Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi braved the heat to go to Shanxi, and then crossed the Yellow River from Shanxi to Chang 'an, Shaanxi. I lived for more than a year and didn't return to Beijing until the following winter. A series of unpleasant things made ordinary courtiers prepare to spend a lot of money to please Lafayette on Cixi's 70th birthday. From the imperial court to the local government, they all tried their best to collect treasures and have fun. Shen was discovered by a willing heart, so Yu Yu designed it and Shen carefully embroidered it. It took more than half a year to embroider four landscapes, flowers and birds, Buddha statues and French paintings, and then sent them to Beijing.

On her seventieth birthday, Cixi was greeted by hundreds of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Back in the harem, I watched with great interest the birthday presents sent into the palace by princes and ministers and provinces. What a dazzling array, beaming! With the help of eunuch Li, Cixi searched all the way and suddenly found several birthday screens in the corner, which were elegant, exquisite, novel and pleasing to the eye. I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and touch it, surprised. I said to Li, "Go and find out if this is from that slave and ask him to invite the embroidery worker to see me." Li ran out to preach. In heaven, the official who sent the screen prepared a luxurious carriage and went to Hangzhou on a starry night to take the Shen couple and Shen's sister Shen Li to Beijing.

Empress Dowager Cixi hosted a banquet for them. For Yu, he is a juren, which is an extraordinary honor that he never dreamed of. After the banquet, Cixi summoned Shen again. The exquisite Suzhou girl in the play can obey the rules and bow down like a musical instrument. Cixi always looks at her with a smile, thinking that fifty years ago, she grew up in Jiangnan with apricot blossoms and spring rain. The woman in front of her reminds her of her life in those days. Cixi rarely sees a woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and Shen brings her infinite leisure. Cixi motioned Shen to step forward, holding her little hand and rubbing it constantly, looking up and down from head to toe. Suddenly I turned around, looked around at the group of rich princesses and said, "Look! How handsome he is! I like shallots, no wonder I have such a good craft. Ouch! How can you stand firm with such small feet? Poor thing, you'd better move the stool quickly! "

In the Qing Dynasty, autocracy was strengthened. When the courtiers saw the emperor, they all put down their horseshoe sleeves and knelt on the ground, calling themselves slaves like dogs and horses. It is a great favor for the emperor to allow his courtiers to stand. Now Cixi wants Shen to sit down. This is the "golden dock where you can sit and chat." This is an abnormal phenomenon that will be favored. The next day, the words "Fu" and "Shou" given to Shen by Cixi were even more special. Shen and his wife received great honors and were named Shen Shou and Yufu respectively. A few days later, the imperial court set up an embroidery project in Beijing, with Yu as the general manager and Shen as the chief teacher. And awarded the four-level medal of Ssangyong Baoxing to the couple, and Shen won the title of "Embroidered Saint". Later, the relationship between the couple was tense. Everyone said that her husband was moved by his wife's light. I was very angry and defended myself in the newspaper: "I don't have a wife, although I have wisdom;" I didn't leave a wife, although it was beautiful. "

Shen's embroidery is not only famous at home and abroad. In the second year, on the birthday of the Italian queen, Shen stabbed to death a life-size Italian queen, making the Italian queen, one of the four most beautiful women in the world, stand out on the silk and be vividly portrayed. When embroidery arrived in Italy as scheduled, the Queen of Italy was greatly surprised and thought it was a first-class work of art in the world. The King of Italy personally wrote a letter to the Manchu Dynasty, praising the exquisite greatness and immortality of China's art, and at the same time gave Shen a royal badge and a Hong Kong diamond watch worn by the Queen of Italy on weekdays. It was also paid in Italian currency of 200,000 yuan and published in domestic and foreign newspapers. People in many countries know that China has produced great female artists.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen have achieved unprecedented success in their careers, but their lives are not satisfactory. Shen has been delicate and clean since childhood. Although the couple in the boudoir are talking about painting and embroidery, they are both in high spirits and laughing loudly. But when it comes to Yan Wan's request, although the man is affectionate, the woman is always lacking in interest and even weak, so she is greatly disappointed. Ten years after marriage, Shen didn't give birth to a son and a half. Later, I finally got pregnant, but when I made a birthday present for Cixi, I was too tired to have a miscarriage and could not have children for life. After arriving in Beijing, I ate two ladies in one breath. Shen looked into her eyes and kept silent. She was a neat freak and gradually alienated her husband. In the second year, Shen worked as an embroidery inspector at the "Nanyang Persuasion Meeting" held in Nanjing, and met the last champion Zhang Jian for the first time. At this time, Shen was 37 years old and Zhang Jian was 58 years old.

Zhang Jian is the fourth child in the family, with a straight word and an increasing number of people. My ancestors started out selling sugar, and later opened a dessert shop. Zhang Jian won the first prize of Cohen in Wu Jia, just as his mother died, and he had to go home to be filial for three years. At the end of the Qing dynasty, the state affairs were so rampant that he was too lazy to be an official again. He simply led the local people to start an industry in their hometown of Nantong. More than ten years have passed, and his cotton mill, shipping, school, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery have all been colorful. I also have the title of Nantong Local Emperor. After the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China, and Zhang Jian, as one of the four friends of Songshan, served as the chief of agriculture and commerce for a period of time, but he was obsessed with his own industry in Nantong, so he resigned and returned to the south. At this time, due to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the cancellation of the embroidery project, Shen He and his wife moved to Tianjin. Zhang Jian bypassed Tianjin and invited Shen to preside over the embroidery school in Nantong. As for Yu, he is the director of the workshop for the poor and also runs Shanghai Fushou Embroidery and Weaving Company. Mr. and Mrs. Shen, as well as Shen's cousins Shen Qiu and Shen Youheng, arrived in Nantong successively and became Zhang Jian's aides.

Shen's title is the director of Nantong Embroidery Research Institute, and the "You Fei Pavilion" is where it collapsed. Zhang Jian took good care of her in life, so Shen devoted himself to his work, taking on heavy work with his weak constitution, and fell ill a few months later. Zhang Jian loves Shen's talent and cares more about her health. In addition to inviting famous Chinese and western doctors to treat her, Zhang Jian gave Shen his "modest pavilion" in the front yard of "Yang Yingfu". The house here is spacious and has the advantage of a garden. It is close to the embroidery workshop, which can not only recover from illness, but also avoid the pain of trudging to work. Zhang Jian took great care of this insignificant female cadre, and her heart was full of love.

Shen is like a daffodil, fragrant and elegant. Only suitable for confession at the desk, not prosperous. When Zhang Jian became famous, there were many gorgeous women like peaches and plums, but she especially appreciated the women of Lin Daiyu's type. Shen pays great attention to pulling Yu away, but he is a well-dressed man after all, and of course he can't take the approach of a street figure. Therefore, in order to get closer to Shen, I would like to write an embroidered spectrum for Shen with respect for the champion and the big boss. Dictated by Shen, Zhang Jian took notes and arranged diligently. This kind of secretarial work is very exciting for Zhang Jian, who also calls it "emphasizing its art without passing it on". Wang Ding is very gentle and patient in front of Shen. Try to keep a low profile and ask Shen to tell the story of embroidery. He is not afraid of triviality, repeated consultation and detailed records, so he must make it clear. It took half a year before and after, and it was written as Shen Xiupu.

Shen suffers from liver depression, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Fortunately, Chen Xing, a famous doctor, treated her carefully, and there was no serious problem. Zhang Jian wanted to teach Shen to write poetry after the completion of Embroidery Spectrum. For this female disciple, he specially selected 73 ancient poems. Copy by hand, add notes by hand, and even mark the notes on the side. Zhang Jian's leisure is not simple, and for ordinary women, it may not be rewarding. However, in the quiet heart, Shen is always "a piece of ice in the jade pot". Make Zhang Jian "dream goddess is difficult for rain."

Although Zhang Jian is a modest gentleman, there are times when he can't hold back. Chatting, Zhang Jian said that he was the Great Wall of Wan Li and Shen was a pagoda on the Great Wall of Wan Li. Shen did not leave any room for an answer; "I'm worried that the pagoda will collapse and crush the Great Wall." Zhang Jian once gave Shen two poems entitled "Modest Pavilion Willow" as a metaphor for people. This kind of love is very clear, so he didn't use "bird" as a flounder and "butterfly" as a flounder to enter the poem.

First of all:

I remember that when I took pictures in the modest pavilion, the willow branches turned to the yang branches;

I don't know, because of the wave shadow in my eyes.

Second;

Poplar is short and willow is long, which can be hurt by twisting;

Make a pool of smoke water, full of mandarin ducks.

Zhang Jian put on an impassioned look and didn't sacrifice everything, but Shen was surprisingly calm. She has returned three poems to Zhang Jian.

The first two songs are weeping willows:

First of all:

Xiaofeng opens an account to send spring scenery, and the willows are straight;

The mirror is often full of combs, and self-pity is less than three feet long.

Second:

The weeping willows are soft, high and low;

The heart belongs, not with the wind!

The third song is "Yuanyang Fu":

People say Yuanyang will stay for two nights, but I regard Yuanyang as independent.

Yuanyang is not necessarily grandpa and mom, and mom is not necessarily the same shell.

This is tantamount to telling Zhang Jian that Luo Fu has a husband and the ancient well does not wave. However, Zhang Jian, an affectionate old man, served Shen carefully and thoughtfully. Take care of yourself at any time, even if you are busy, there will be sentimental notes for Qian Ting. Shen also felt very sorry, so he asked Zhang Jian to write the word "Qian Ting". Cut off the hair and embroider the word "Qian Ting" according to Zhang Jian's stroke as a permanent memorial to their relationship.

There are ups and downs outside. It is said that Zhang Jian and Shen have an unusual affair. People who love Zhang Jian say that this is the burden of his virtue. Yu was furious and posted couplets at his door:

Buddha said: Don't say, don't say!

Confucius said: If so, why?

It means that it is difficult for him to talk about Shen and Zhang Jian, and there is nothing he can do. Later, poems such as Qian Liu written by Zhang Jian to Shen, such as an affair, a pool of smoke and water, and the meaning of being together for two nights, were completely vilified by Zhang Jian. It turned out that these poems were written by Zhang Jian when he was carried away by lust at that time, for fear of leaving a handle on others. Zhang Jian couldn't justify his attack on Yu, but simply ignored his reputation and went his own way.

In the 10th year of the Republic of China, that is, on June 8th, 192 1, a generation of embroidered Shengshen finally died of inflation at the age of 48. Zhang Jian, 69, was in tears and mourned for her in Nantong and built a land tomb for her in the mountain. Simple living alone, Dumen thanked the guests, met with Shen's portrait in the morning and evening, and wrote 48 poems in one breath, which was touching. As he imagined, Shen remembered his deep affection, cut off his hair and embroidered the word "modest pavilion", which was also his deep affection and unparalleled affection for Shen:

Feelings can't be sealed, and hair is mixed by hand;

Embroidered into a pair of modest pavilion characters for men and women to watch.

There are memories of learning poetry at that time:

How to wake up from a dream after listening to a new poem?

It's hard for a dream to doubt the goddess for the rain, but it's not good for a fairy to wake up and laugh!

Love is a thing that is unreasonable. If we use rationality to analyze the relationship between Zhang Jian and Shen, it is not clear. If we persist, it is a kind of spiritual love. During the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yuan Haowen wrote in Maibeitang: "Ask the world what is love? Wisdom teaches life and death, flying in all directions, and the old wings are hot and cold several times. Have fun, leave bitter, more silly children in it. Wan Li stratocumulus, Qian Shan Twilight, only for whom! "
