Who are the ten most famous courtesans in Chinese history?

Sai Jinhua——

Sai Jinhua, whose original name is Zhao Lingfei, is from Anhui. Due to the decline of his family, he adopted the pseudonym "Fu Caiyun" and shuttled on flower boats on the Qinhuai River to make fun of himself. Happy, many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries fell under her pomegranate skirt, and Sai Jinhua made a lot of money. In the seventh year of Tongzhi's reign, Sai Jinhua fell in love with Hong Jun, a Suzhou native who won the top prize in the imperial examination, while visiting relatives, and she married him and became his third concubine.

In the fourteenth year of Guangxu's reign, Hong Jun took him to Beijing and was ordered to go to Europe as an envoy. With her natural communication skills and the gentleness of Oriental women, Sai Jinhua stole the show in the upper class of Europe, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and had ambiguous relationships with some blond and blue-eyed celebrities. Among them, Russian Army Lieutenant Vasid moved her most. In the 16th year of Guangxu's reign, Hong Jun returned to China and died of illness three years later. Sai Jinhua returned to his old business. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, and Wahid became the commander of the coalition forces, Sai Jinhua met her former lover and relived her dream. Later, Zeng Pu wrote a novel "Niehaihua" based on Sai Jinhua.

Sai Jinhua is one of the most famous prostitutes in Chinese history. Since she has visited Germany, Austria, Russia and the Netherlands, she should be a returnee from overseas. Moreover, she has connections with foreigners. She also has a copyright and reputation claim lawsuit with Zeng Pu, so her property is considerable. According to the current calculation method, Sai Jinhua's assets are estimated to be around 10 million, ranking first.

Li Shishi——

Li Shishi was originally the daughter of Wang Yin, the owner of the dye house in Bianjing City. She was fostered in a Buddhist temple when she was young. Because people called Buddhist disciples "Shi", she was called Li Shishi. When she grew up, she became beautiful and beautiful, and was adopted by the brothel owner Li La. She learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and served as a waiter. She became a famous prostitute in Bianjing, and was the object of competition among literati, princes, and grandsons.

Finally, Song Huizong also wanted to see the beauty in person. Because Li Shishi and Gao Qiu were old acquaintances, Gao Qiu arranged to meet. Song Huizong fell in love with Li Shishi at first sight and turned a blind eye to the beauties in the harem from then on. But what Shishi liked most was the great talent Zhou Bangyan. Once when Shishi and Zhou Wenrou were meeting, the messenger suddenly arrived, and Zhou Bangyan hurriedly hid under the bed. Due to poor health, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty gave his master a bright orange and wanted to return to the palace. The master pretended to stay and said, "It's already three o'clock, the horse is slippery and the dragon's body is in danger." But Song Huizong still left. So Zhou Bangyan wrote a poem: "The swords are like water, Wu salt beats the snow, and the slender fingers break the new orange. The brocade curtains are warm at first, and the musk is lingering. They sit opposite each other and tune the zither. Ask in a low voice: Who are you going to spend the night? The city is already there. At the third watch, the horse is slippery and frosty, so it is better to leave. It is a journey with few people. "

Unexpectedly, Li Shishi once sang this poem in front of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Huizong asked who did it, and Li Shishi casually said it was Zhou Bangyan. Huizong's expression suddenly changed, and soon he found an excuse to demote Zhou Bangyan from Bianjing. Li Shishi then sang a song "Lanling King" to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty: "The willow shade is straight, and the smoke is wisps of green. On the Sui embankment, I have seen several waves of water, floating and seeing off. When I climb up to see my motherland, who can predict it? Weary travelers from Beijing, on Changting Road, should break thousands of mulberry branches every year, looking for traces of the past. They drink while mourning, and leave the table under the light of the pear blossoms and elm fire to encourage cold food. When they are sad, the wind is half a pole. The waves are warm, and I look back at the long way to the north. The hatred piles up, and I gradually return to the lake. The sun sets slowly in the spring, and I remember holding hands on the pavilion, listening to the flute on the exposed bridge, and thinking about the past like a dream. ""

After hearing this, Song Huizong sighed for a long time and summoned Zhou Bangyan back. Because Song Huizong lost his ambition by playing with things, he finally became a prisoner during the Jingkang Incident. After the Song Dynasty crossed south, Li Shishi's whereabouts were unknown. Mr. Li is protected by Long Live Lord and supported by great writers. It is difficult not to make a fortune. However, because her overseas connections are not as good as those of Jinhua, her assets are estimated to be around 8 million, ranking second.

Chao Chao Yun——

Chao Chao Yun, courtesy name Zixia, is from Qiantang. Due to his poor family background, he has been in a singing and dancing class since he was a child. In the fourth year of Xining reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo was demoted to be the general magistrate of Hangzhou. One day at a banquet, he saw the graceful and graceful Wang Chaoyun. He loved her very much and married her as his concubine.

Su Dongpo had a bold and unrestrained temperament, and he discussed political opinions freely in his poems. He offended the powerful people of the day and was demoted several times. Once, when Su Dongpo returned home from the imperial court, he asked his concubine with his fingertips: "Does any of you know what I have in this?" Some said it was an article, some said it was knowledge. Su Dongpo shook his head, but only Wang Chaoyun said, "You have it all in your stomach." Out of place. Su Dongpo heard this and praised: "Chaoyun is the only one who knows me." Su Dongpo stayed in Hangzhou for four years and was later demoted to Huangzhou deputy envoy due to the "Wutai Poetry Case". During this period, life was very poor, and Wang Chaoyun was always with him.

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Wang Chaoyun gave birth to a son for Su Dongpo, named Suili. After the death of Shenzong, Zhezong succeeded to the throne and abolished Wang Anshi's new law. Su Dongpo was recalled to the capital and promoted to the position of Longtu cabinet minister, and also served as the young emperor's attendant. But two years later, Su Dongpo was demoted to the post of Hangzhou magistrate again, and later was demoted to Huizhou due to different political opinions. At this time, he was in his sixties, and his concubines gradually dispersed, with only Wang Chaoyun following him. Su Dongpo sighed and wrote a poem: "It's not like the poplar branches farewell to the happy world, it's just like the virtues accompanying Ling Yuan; Anuluoxiu is not old, and there is no daughter Vimalakia to always explain Zen. New work in the sutra scroll medicine furnace, old marriage in dancing clothes and song boards; Dan Cheng chased me to the three mountains, and did not become the Yun Yuxian of Wushan."

The preface goes: "The Yu family had several concubines, and they resigned one after another in the past four or five years. I moved to the south with Yu alone, because I read Lotte's poems and wrote plays. "This is a gift." Wang Chaoyun gave birth to a son to Su Dongpo in Huizhou, named Qian'er. Due to physical weakness after childbirth, he died suddenly at the age of thirty-four.

After Chaoyun's death, Su Dongpo buried her in the pine forest under the Great Sacred Pagoda of Qi Zen Temple at the south foot of Gushan Mountain in West Lake, Huizhou, and built a Liuru Pavilion on the tomb to commemorate her. There was a couplet engraved on the pavilion pillar: Untimely, only Chaoyun The clouds can recognize me; I play ancient tunes alone, and I miss you even more every time it rains.

Chao Chao Yun fell in love with Su Dongpo. How much are Su Dongpo’s poems, calligraphy and paintings worth! Moreover, Chao Chao Yun gave birth to two sons for Su Dongpo. Su Dongpo regarded Chao Chao Yun as a confidant in times of need. If she did not die, she would be counted on time. At least he can get a fortune of about 6.5 million, ranking third.

Liu Rushi——

Liu Rushi, whose real name is Ailiu, also has the courtesy name Rushi. A native of Jiaxing, born in the 50th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, she was robbed and sold to Wujiang as a maid at an early age because of her poverty. She fell into Zhangtai at a young age and changed her name to Liu Yin. She became a famous singing prostitute in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was known as one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" one. She left behind many anecdotes worth telling as well as literary poems and writings.

Liu Rushi once fell in love with Chen Zilong, the leader of the Nanming Restoration Society, but Chen unfortunately died in the anti-Qing uprising. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, when Liu Rushi was in her 20s, she married Qian Qianyi, a leader of Donglin who was over fifty years old and a famous bureaucrat. Qian Jinwu hid her beauty and built the magnificent "Jiangyun Tower" and "Hongdou Pavilion" for her in Yushan.

Some people believe that the Jiangyun Tower in Cao Xueqin's "A Dream of Red Mansions" comes from the Liu family's Jiangyun Tower. After Chongzhen hanged himself and the Qing army occupied Beijing, Nanjing became a small court of Hongguang. Liu Rushi supported Qian Qianyi and became the Minister of Rites of Nanming. Soon after the Qing army went south, Liu persuaded Qian to join him and die for his country. Qian approached the pool and tried it and said: "The water is too cold to enter." Mr. Liu "wanted to sink into the pond" but was supported by money. Qian Jiangqing became a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a member of the Imperial Academy, while Liu stayed in Nanjing.

Due to Liu's influence, Qian resigned and returned home after half a year. Later, he was involved in two lawsuits due to the case. Liu Rushi paid bribes on his behalf to rescue him from prison while he was ill. Qian Qianyi's surrender to the Qing Dynasty should have been criticized by later generations, but because of Liu Rushi's righteous deeds, people's antipathy towards him was diluted. Liu was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was proficient in music and rhythm. Later generations praised his calligraphy as "an iron fist with a silver hook, which once captured the wonderful traces". After Qian's death in 1666, the villagers gathered to seize his property. In order to protect the Qian family's property, Liu actually hung himself from a beam. The villains were scared away, but a generation of famous prostitutes ended their lives like this. After Liu's death, he was buried in Fushui Villa in Yushan.

The real estate left by Qian Qianyi to Liu Rushi, plus her own income from poetry, calligraphy and painting, the property should be no less than 6 million, ranking fourth.

Du Shiniang——

Du Shiniang was a famous prostitute in the Jiaofang Division in the south of Beijing during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. One time while picking up a guest, I met Li Jia, the son of the Nanjing Chief Executive, and the two fell in love. Li Jia was immersed in the gentle countryside every day and ran out of money. His father was furious after hearing this, cut off the supply, and persuaded his relatives in the capital not to lend him money.

Shi Niang will be entrusted to Li Jia for life. The Madam agrees to redeem Shi Niang as long as Li Jia comes up with 300 taels of silver within ten days, but no one is willing to pay to help Li Jia. Du Shiniang took out 150 taels of broken silver sewn into the quilt, and Li Jia's friend Liu Yuchun managed to collect another 150 taels. Ten days later, Li Jia handed over the full amount of silver to the old madam, who had no choice but to let her go. The two lovers tied the knot at Liu Yuchun's residence and had a happy marriage for a hundred years. Du Shiniang and Li Jia were going back to their hometown, but Li Jia was worried and couldn't explain to his father that they returned with a prostitute.

Du Shiniang said that it would be better to visit Suzhou and Hangzhou first, and then the husband would go home and ask relatives and friends to persuade her to be gentle in front of his respected father; after Li's father calmed down, he would come to pick her up again, and Li Jia followed his orders. . The two traveled to Guazhou Ancient Ferry and met Sun Fu, a lustful and sinister wealthy businessman. He returned to the boat after drinking at night and was moved by Du Shiniang's singing. After daybreak, I looked at his appearance from the window and felt even more shaken. Sun Fu pretended to get close to Li Jia, drank and talked freely. When he talked about Du Shiniang, Li Jia told him the whole story. Sun Fu sighed, respecting your father's position, how can you allow you to marry a prostitute? When the time comes, he will be in a dilemma, won't he end up being unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust?!

When he said this, Li Jia felt even more difficult to move. Sun Fu also said, I am willing to give you a thousand pieces of gold as a gift. If you go back with the silver money and say that you will teach in Beijing, your father will definitely forgive you. Li Jia was moved by what he said, so he immediately made a contract, pressed his fingerprints, and sold Du Shiniang to Sun Fu. When Shi Niang heard about it, she was thunderstruck, recalling that she was sold and humiliated in her childhood. She had escaped from the fire pit, but now her happy life was about to be shattered again. The next day, Du Shiniang dressed up and asked Sun Fu to put the silver on Li Jia's boat. He stood on the pedal, opened the treasure box, pointed to the priceless gold and silver jewelry inside, scolded Sun Fu for breaking up the couple, scolded Li Jia for being ungrateful, threw pieces of gold, silver, jade and various rare treasures into the river, and finally jumped into the river. Rolling waves.

I hate that Li Jia is so ruthless, and even more hateful that he is so blind that he only sees Shiniang’s identity but not her wallet. Nowadays, you can win four to five million by buying a lottery ticket. The gold, silver, jade and other rare things in Shi Niang's treasure box are worth at least five to six million, ranking fifth.

Kou Baimen——

Kou Baimen, formerly known as Kou Mei and also named Baimen, was one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In the late spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Guobi, a prominent hero and protector of the country, came to Kou's house on Chaoku Street. After several interactions, Baimen left a good impression on him and agreed to the marriage proposal when Zhu proposed marriage.

It was the autumn night of the new year, and 17-year-old Kou Baimen boarded the sedan chair with heavy makeup. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the custom at the time for women from Leji in Jinling to marry or marry at night.

In order to show his majesty and grandeur, Zhu Guobi sent 5,000 soldiers holding red lanterns starting from Wuding Bridge and standing solemnly along the way to Zhu Mansion on the inner bridge. The grand occasion was unprecedented and became the largest wedding scene in Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Guobi was actually a slick and cunning bureaucrat. His marriage to Kou Baimen was a temporary necessity. A few months later, his ruthless and unsentimental face was exposed. He left Kou aside and continued to walk around the willow alleys of Zhangtai. between.

In 1645, the Qing army went south, and Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was soon placed under house arrest. Zhu wanted to sell all the singers and maidservants including Lian Kou Baimen. Baimen said to Zhu: "If the proceeds from selling my concubine are only a few hundred gold... If I send my concubine back to the south, I will get more than ten thousand gold in one month." Report to the public." Zhu Si thought and agreed. Kou Baimen returned to Jinling, and with the help of sisters from the old courtyard, he raised 20,000 taels of silver to redeem Zhu Guobi. At this time, Mrs. Zhu wanted to reunite her dream, but was rejected by Kou. She said, "Back then, you used money to redeem me from my citizenship. Now I will use money to redeem you." So we ended the relationship.

The Kou family returned to Jinling, where they "built a garden pavilion, met guests, and went back and forth with literati and poets every day. Their ears were full of wine, singing or crying. They also lamented the late admiration for beauties and lamented the falling red beans." Heroine. Later, a certain Xiaolian from Yangzhou returned to Jinling unhappily, and finally died of illness in his home in Leji. Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin in the literary world at that time, wrote a memorial poem "Kou Baimen": "The sisters of the Kou family are always beautiful, and they have been obsessed with flowers for eighteen years. Today, Qin Huai is afraid that he will be worthy of each other, and he will not let his red tears stain his clothes. Cong Can is red and pink. Jun'en, who knows about the heroine Kou Baimen? The coffin is covered with loess, but the heart is still alive, and the scent of the fragrant pills is the soul. "

"Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" records: "The white gate is quiet and beautiful; it is full of ups and downs. , can compose music, be good at painting orchids, understand each other and pick up rhymes, and can recite poems, but it is slippery and easy and cannot be done." Bai Men's simplicity determines the tragedy of her marriage. But from the fact that she was able to raise 20,000 taels of silver in one month to redeem Zhu Guobi, it can be seen that Kou's ability to make money is strong. Her wealth is estimated to be around 4 million, ranking sixth.

Liang Hongyu——

Liang Hongyu was born in the first year of Chongning, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Originally from Chizhou, he practiced kung fu with his father and brother since he was a child. During the Fangla Uprising in the second year of Xuanhe, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, his grandfather and father were killed for delaying the war, and Liang Hongyu became a prostitute in the Jingkou camp. The imperial court sent Tong Guan to lead the army to pacify Fang La, and finally Fang La was captured by Han Shizhong.

At the celebration banquet, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu met for the first time. The two looked at each other in love and finally got married. Han Shizhong was stationed in Xiuzhou. Liang Hongyu stayed in the capital after becoming pregnant and was detained by Miao Fu and others. However, due to Han Shizhong's bravery, he did not dare to embarrass their mother and son. At this time, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty had no freedom of movement. Empress Dowager Longyu and Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei secretly sent Liang Hongyu to Xiuzhou to urge Han Shizhong to come for rescue. They named Han Shizhong the general of the Imperial Camp Ping Kouzuo and Liang Hongyu the wife of Anguo. Han Shizhong quickly put down the rebellion of Miao Fu and others, and appointed Wu Shengjun as the military governor.

In the winter of this year, the Jin invaded again, crossing the river from Huangzhou and Caishiji, and approaching Lin'an. Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty fled to Yuezhou. Han Shizhong stayed in Xiuzhou. During the Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Jianyan, Jin Wushu issued a gauntlet and agreed with Han Shizhong to start the war the next day. Han Shizhong followed Liang Hongyu's plan and divided the Song army into two groups. He saw the Chinese army waving the flag as a signal and surrounded and intercepted it. As a result, the Jin army was defeated. Han Shizhong sang loudly: "Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, there is no end to the magnificent autumn scenery. I talk about the Qin Palace and the Han tents, the Yaotai Yinque, the long sword leaning against the sky outside the mist, the precious light hanging on the side of the sun's smoke! Clap your sleeves to the stars to make the universe whole, and the news stops." Dragons and tigers roar, phoenix clouds cry, eternal hatred, who can say it? The mountains and rivers are stained with tears, and the Qiang pipes and flutes are played at night in Bianshui. Missing?"

A spy suggested to Jin Wushu: cover the ship with earth and burn down Han Shizhong's warship with rockets. However, Han Shizhong used Liang Hongyu's strategy to defeat more with less, and besieged the enemy for nearly fifty days, preventing the Jin army from crossing the river to invade. After Yue Fei was killed, Han Shizhong was also removed from military power. He simply resigned from his official position and spent the rest of his life with Liang Hongyu.

With Han Shizhong as her backer, Liang Hongyu accumulated a certain amount of wealth, about three million yuan, ranking seventh.

Chen Yuanyuan——

Chen Yuanyuan, whose original surname is Xing, whose given name is Yuan, and whose courtesy name is Yuanyuan. A native of Suzhou, his adoptive mother was named Chen when he was young, so he changed his surname to Chen. Originally a singer from Kunshan, she once lived in Qinhuai. Because of her outstanding sexual skills and her connection with major historical events, the Qing Dynasty people listed her among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" and said that she was the "advocate of Jinling in the former dynasty". In the last years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng rebelled, and Emperor Chongzhen was restless day and night.

Zhou Kui, a relative of the imperial family, wanted to find stunning beauties for the emperor to relieve the emperor's worries, so he sent Tian Wan, Concubine Tian's brother, to the south of the Yangtze River in search of beauties. After Tian Wan found Chen Yuanyuan, he was so fascinated by his beauty that he secretly took it as his own. Soon Li Zicheng approached the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned Wu Sangui to guard Shanhaiguan. Tian Wan held a banquet for Wu Sangui, and Yuanyuan led the chorus to perform in the hall. When Wu Sangui saw him, he was so excited that he happily hugged him to accompany him for a drink. At this time, the alarm suddenly sounded, and Tian Wan said in panic, "What's wrong with the invaders?" Wu said, "If you can see Yuanyuan as a gift, I will protect your family first." Without waiting for an answer, Wu took Yuanyuan and said goodbye.

After Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Wu Sangui's father surrendered to the rebel army, and Chen Yuanyuan was plundered by Li's men. When Wu Sangui agreed to surrender to Li Zicheng, he heard that Yuanyuan had been captured by Li's generals. He was furious and shouted, "What's the point of a man who can't protect himself?" He then surrendered to the Qing army and started a war with the rebels. Li Zicheng was defeated, killed Wu's father and all 38 members of his family, and then abandoned the capital and fled. In order to avenge the death of his father and his wife, Wu Sangui pursued the rebels day and night to Shaanxi.

Later Wu's troops searched for Chen Yuanyuan in the capital and teleported him on flying cavalry. Wu Sangui led Chen Yuanyuan from Qin to Shu and monopolized Yunnan.

During the Shunzhi period, Wu Jin became the king of Yunnan and wanted to make Yuanyuan his concubine. However, Yuanyuan dismissed her for some reason and Wu Sangui did not marry her. Not wanting the concubine she married to be jealous, Yuanyuan lived alone in a separate courtyard. Later, she became a nun and went to Changzhai to embroider Buddha images at the Huaguo Temple in Mount Wuhua. After Wu Sangui's death, Chen Yuanyuan also sank into the lotus pond outside the temple and was buried beside the pond after his death. Until the late Qing Dynasty, there were still photos of Chen Yuanyuan in the temple, and poems carved on stones by the pool.

Yuanyuan was very famous because of her connection with major historical events. Although she later fell into decline, she relied on her reputation to make a lot of money by writing memoirs and selling exclusive news, about more than 2 million yuan. , ranked eighth.

Xin Yao Qin——

Xin Yao Qin, the oiran lady of Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. She was separated from her parents due to war when she was young and was sold into a brothel. By the age of fourteen, she was extremely beautiful. But she only wanted to be a brothel and refused to accept customers, so the madam got her drunk and sold her virginity to a courtier named Jin. Yaoqin was in pain and wanted to die, but her sisters persuaded her that she should accept guests at this stage, find a suitable person so that she could rehabilitate herself as soon as possible, and save some money to redeem her life in the future. Yaoqin no longer resisted.

Zhu Shilao, who opened an oil shop outside Qingbo Gate in Hangzhou, adopted a young boy named Qin Chong who had fled from Bianjing. He later changed his name to Zhu Chong and helped Zhu Shilao press and sell oil every day. Zhu Shilao's maid Lanhua colluded with his clerk Xing Quan to sow discord, and Zhu Shilao drove Zhu Chong out, so Zhu Chong had to sell oil in the streets. One day he went to Zhaoqing Temple outside Qiantang Gate to sell oil. It happened that the temple had to perform meritorious deeds for nine days and nights, so he carried oil to Zhaoqing Temple for nine days in a row. On the ninth day, Qin Chong saw a beautiful woman coming out of the temple. He was stunned. After asking around, he found out that she was the oiran.

Zhu Chong worked even harder from then on, and a year later he finally saved about ten taels of silver. He bought a set of clothes and took the remaining silver to find the court lady. However, the oiran lady entertained a lot, and Zhu Chong failed many times. But he still refused to give up and came every day. The madam was finally moved by him and asked Zhu Chong to wait in Yaoqin room. Yaoqin was already drunk when she came back, and she lay down with her clothes on as soon as she entered the house. Zhu Zhong lay beside her all night. Apart from covering her up with quilt and pouring tea, he had no intention of violating her. Yaoqin was very moved when she woke up. She had never seen such a sincere and honest man, so she secretly promised him and gave him twenty taels of silver. At this time, Zhu Shilao was ill in bed, and Xing Quan and Lanhua took away the money late at night. Only then did Zhu Shilao think of Zhu Chong's benefits, and he asked someone to retrieve Zhu Chong. Zhu Chong ignored the past grievances and used the money given to him by Yao Qin as capital to start business again.

After Zhu Shilao passed away, Zhu Chong was too busy alone, so he recruited a middle-aged man who had fled from Bianjing and his wife Ruan. This middle-aged man's name is Xin Shan, and he is Yao Qin's father who disappeared when he was young, but Zhu Chong does not know this. There was a young master named Wu in Hangzhou who had a bad character and always coveted the Yaoqin. One day, he forcibly took Yaoqin to a boat in the lake to get rid of her. Yaoqin usually resented him and refused to obey, so Master Wu took off her embroidered shoes and foot binding and asked her to walk back by herself. Yaoqin felt humiliated and was in pain. She happened to meet Zhu Zhong who was passing by, and Zhu Zhong sent her back. Yaoqin admired Zhu Zhong even more, and even the madam thought he was a rare and loyal person. Yao Qin spent many years of savings to ask Qin Zhong to redeem her body. When the two got married, Yaoqin met her parents who had been separated for many years. It was a double happiness.

Although Xin Yaoqin’s years of savings were used up when Qin Zhong redeemed her life, because the oil store she opened with Zhu Zhong was prosperous and Zhu Chong was honest and willing to work, Yaoqin managed the family well. , he soon became rich, and his assets also increased rapidly. But since he got rich entirely through hard work, he has no "foreign wealth" and his assets are estimated to be just over one million, ranking ninth.

Xiao Fengxian——

Xiao Fengxian was originally a girl from Yunji Ban in Shaanxi Lane, Beijing. In the early years of the Republic of China, Cai Songpo served as the governor of Yunnan. Yuan Shikai tried every means to win over Cai Songpo for his own use, and at the same time secretly sent people to monitor him. Cai Songpo's revolutionary enthusiasm was quite high and he was not willing to be Yuan Shikai's lackey at all, but there was nothing he could do because of his power. One day, he disguised himself as a businessman and came to Yunji Ban in Shaanxi Lane to relax, and he caught sight of the little fairy.

Xiao Fengxian asked him what he did for a living, and he lied about being a businessman. Xiao Fengxian smiled and said: "You have extraordinary bearing, you are happy outside and depressed inside, you are definitely not a businessman." Cai Songpo saw that she was not showing off coquettishness, her face was full of sincerity and confidence. But when they first met, Cai Shang was wary and did not answer her directly. Xiao Fengxian believed that he must be a hero, and Cai also felt that he might have found a treasure in the garbage heap. Two days later he came to visit again, and the two talked frankly and discussed a plan. It didn’t take long for officials in the capital to spread scandals, saying that Cai was "a hero who is saddened by beauty"! Cai Songpo held a banquet in Yunjiban, played songs every night, and built a house and a church for Xiao Fengxian, and later brought Xiao Feng The immortal took her as a concubine and lived a life of wine and beauty every day.

His wife Liu Xiazhen advised him: "You have always taken world affairs as your own responsibility, how can you now be greedy for sex and defeat your ambitions!" Cai Songpo did not listen to the advice and instead rebuked his wife. The family was in a state of turmoil, and even Yuan Shikai heard about it. He sent people to mediate to no avail. Yuan Shikai gradually relaxed his vigilance towards Cai. Cai's wife and mother were so angry that they moved out of the capital and went to live in the south. Cai Songpo knew that the Beiyang government would not tolerate him, so he deliberately traveled by car with Xiao Fengxian all day long. He found the opportunity to board the train bound for Tianjin, and fled to Japan by boat the next day. When Yuan Shikai learned that he was furious, he sent people to assassinate him. Cai Songpo transferred to Hong Kong, and soon returned to China via Vietnam, where he organized an uprising of the National Defense Army against Yuan in Yunnan.

Yuan Shikai could not withstand internal and external attacks, and died seventy-three days after proclaiming himself emperor. Li Yuanhong succeeded as president, and Cai Songpo became governor of Sichuan.

Due to overwork, his health deteriorated. Xiao Fengxian was still waiting patiently for him, but Cai Songpo could not see Xiao Fengxian again. He died in Fukuoka Hospital while seeking medical treatment in Japan at the age of thirty-seven. Xiao Fengxian was heartbroken after hearing the news. Cai Songpo's spiritual hub was transported back to Shanghai and a grand memorial service was held. Xiaofengxian sent two couplets: "Unfortunately, Zhou Lang was short-lived. I had known that Li Jing was a hero." After a tragic fall, he won a heroic confidant, and his peach blossoms lasted forever. "

Xiao Fengxian had the opportunity to make a fortune because of her accidental acquaintance with Cai Songpo, but Cai Songpo was country-oriented and devoted to revolution, so he failed to give Xiaofeng the opportunity. How much wealth does immortality bring? It's just that those properties are worth seven to eight hundred thousand, ranking tenth at most.
