Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, is famous for the story of Yueyang Tower. He is not only famous in literature, but also good at strategy and military affairs. It played an important role in resisting the invasion of Xixia and established immortal feats. During my stay in Yan 'an Town, I rebuilt the pagoda and guarded the border for many years to maintain the peace of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yueyang Tower was written at the invitation of his good friend Fujitsu when he was a magistrate in Dengzhou, Henan Province in his later years. Worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later, became his masterpiece! Fan Zhongyan is upright and upright, loves the people and cares about the country, is honest and diligent, and has left a distinctive name in history, which is admired and loved by future generations. However, this famous minister of the Song Dynasty and a certain * * * are legendary and little known.

Fan Zhongyan's original article

Confucius said: great virtue is not idle, and small virtue can come and go! It is said that men set foot on the fence and get their hands on * * * does not hinder a person's virtue. In fact, successful men in all previous dynasties had an affair with * * * *, and even emperors and princes were inextricably linked with * * * *. In the past, many * * * were beautiful women with outstanding talents, who were not only proficient in the six arts, but also proficient in military affairs and strategy. Because of the different experiences, the bottom * * * has its own views on life, that is, it is familiar with men's ways and women's souls. An honest official, having an affair with * * *, does not affect his virtue and achievements, let alone a scholar Fan Zhongyan?

Fan Zhongyan lost his father in his childhood and remarried with his mother to the Jia Zhu family in Changshan, Binzhou, Shandong. His name was Zhu Shuo, and later his surname was Jia Fan. Fan Zhongyan studied hard in his childhood, studying hard in the cold window, freezing porridge into cakes in winter, and eating four petals of staple food dipped in vinegar, which was very poor. Good friends send meat instead of rice, lest they forget the sweetness of poverty. Because he was diligent and eager to learn, he won the prize when he was young and was appointed as the magistrate of Poyang, Jiangxi Province. At that time, Poyang was well-developed in water transportation and merchants gathered, and prostitutes in brothels came into being. In a brothel, there was a girl named Zhen Jinlian, who was only 14 years old. Although she is beautiful, she is immature, so she lacks the unique attractive charm of women. Although she can recite poems and write poems, she is not concerned by those vulgar businessmen. When Fan Zhongyan was young, he had a certain desire for love. As a scholar, he also has rich feelings. Fan Zhongyan had nothing to do one day, so he put on plain clothes and went to the brothel. Mrs. Brothel regards Fan Zhongyan as a scholar, and some look down on him. In the conversation with Fan Zhongyan, she learned that Fan Zhongyan was just chatting with women. Seeing that Fan Zhongyan was full of books, she asked Zhen Jinlian to wait on Fan Zhongyan.

Zhen Jinlian came out to see Fan Zhongyan. He felt sorry for Zhen Jinlian when he saw that he was immature. Zhen Jinlian must be a * * *. Although he is immature, he has met many men, so he asked Fan Zhongyan to sit down and make tea for him. Fan Zhongyan asked her to sit down and chat with Zhen Jinlian. Zhen Jinlian has a glib tongue, is extremely clever, has a crisp and pleasant voice and is gentle, which is quite popular with Fan Zhongyan. During the chat, Fan Zhongyan realized that although Zhen Jinlian was small, he could really write lyrics and poems. Even more amazing, he can write books with chopsticks and draw with his fingers. Amazingly, Fan Zhongyan was curious and asked her to write poems, write books with chopsticks and draw with her fingers. Fan Zhongyan deeply feels that Zhen Jinlian is a talented woman, which is really rare. Zhen Jinlian's finger painting shrimp is a must and vivid. Fan Zhongyan exclaimed the top grade in the painting. Because Zhen Jinlian is young, he is in the brothel all day, and no one appreciates him. Today, she was lucky enough to meet Fan Zhongyan, who is very nice. Zhen Jinlian wrote a self-pity poem to Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan praised Zhen Jinlian for his good poem. Zhen Jinlian asked Fan Zhongyan to write a poem as a souvenir. Fan Zhongyan readily agreed to write poems with her. After writing the poem, Fan Zhongyan saw that it was getting late, left the money and left. Zhen Jinlian stopped Fan Zhongyan and said that if he left, the pimp would blame her for her poor service. Fan Zhongyan called the procuress and told her not to blame Zhen Jinlian.

Ancient brothel women

Fan Zhongyan returned to the yamen and thought Poyang was a land of wealth. How could someone sell Zhen Jinlian to a brothel? So I decided to send someone to call Zhen Jinlian to your house tomorrow night to find out. But when I think about it, I am the magistrate of Poyang, which is inconvenient. There seems to be something wrong with asking in a brothel. So Fan Zhongyan came up with a good idea. Fan Zhongyan invited several literary friends to Poyang Lake and ordered Zhen Jinlian to be invited to the brothel. The procuress was overjoyed to see the silver, but Zhen Jinlian was the first time. She insisted on accompanying Zhen Jinlian, but was stopped by someone sent by Fan Zhongyan. The procuress sent two people to secretly follow Zhen Jinlian. Soon, she sent someone back to tell the procuress that the person who invited Zhen Jinlian was Fan's adult, the official of the state government. The procuress breathed a sigh of relief and was pleasantly surprised. I think the brothel business will be very prosperous under the care of state officials in the future.

Zhen Jinlian knew that Fan Zhongyan's identity was a little stiff, so Fan Zhongyan asked her to relax and talk about her life experience. When Zhen Jinlian sees Fan Zhongyan, a state official, being amiable, he will think of his own life experience. Zhen Jinlian lost his mother at the age of ten, and his father was a small official twice. He was old enough to farm, but he was killed because of insufficient taxes. She was sold to a brothel by her uncle. Fan Zhongyan flew into a rage when he learned that Zhen Jinlian's father died because he received new money. Fan Zhongyan showed that it was not that he wanted new money, but that those petty officials made excuses to plunder the wealth of the people. Fan Zhongyan encouraged Zhen Jinlian to complain. She said that the yamen had been barbarians since ancient times, regardless of the sufferings of the people. The world is as black as a crow! Fan Zhongyan was so angry that his nose was crooked. Fan Zhongyan reluctantly bid farewell to Zhen Jinlian, returned to the palace, immediately wrote to the emperor and issued a letter to the whole country, and could not find an excuse to harm the people.

Ancient brothel women

Fan Zhongyan summoned Zhen Jinlian to give a banquet and was spread out. Her worth has doubled. Streets, teahouses and brothels are talking about Zhen Jinlian, saying that Zhen Jinlian is a beauty from the sky and everyone is eager to see her beauty. At that time, there was a discussion in Poyang City.

A year passed quickly, and Zhen Jinlian's painting skills improved a lot. People are mature and charming, and people come to ask for calligraphy and painting in an endless stream. The procuress made a lot of money, and Zhen Jinlian's reputation spread far and wide. When Fan Zhongyan heard about it, he summoned Zhen Jinlian and saw that she had become a beauty and liked it very much. Once again, at the banquet, guests were invited to see her paintings, which was amazing. When the aides saw that Fan Zhongyan liked her, they built a hall in the backyard and named it Qingshuo Hall. Let her go into the house to accompany Fan Zhongyan in poetry and painting. Over time, Fan Zhongyan fell in love with Zhen Jinlian.

Fan Zhongyan's term of office is up. He went to Shangrao and still missed Zhen Jinlian. Fan Zhongyan writes poems from time to time to send rouge to Zhen Jinlian. At this time, many bureaucrats and businessmen wanted to buy Zhen Jinlian as wives and concubines. Wei Jie, the new magistrate of Poyang, is also a romantic figure with rich family. He once wanted to redeem Zhen Jinlian, but Zhen Jinlian refused and remained chaste. Wei Jiejing valued Fan Zhongyan's character, so he spent thousands of dollars to redeem Zhen Jinlian and sent him to Shangrao to find Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan was overjoyed and thanked Wei Jie very much. On the first day of Zhen Jinlian's arrival in Shangrao, he entered the bridal chamber. Fan Zhongyan was very surprised to find that she was a virgin. Zhen Jinlian told Fan Zhongyan that although he keeps receiving customers every day, he has always been a jade for Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan is very grateful. Because Fan Zhongyan already has a wife, he asked Zhen Jinlian what to call her. She laughed and called herself Mrs. Ru. Mrs. Ru's name got around. Until today, everyone calls her Mrs. Ru, and few people know that Fan Zhongyan's second wife is Zhen Jinlian.
