According to the old Yellow Calendar, Zhang Xueliang was the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the highest status among the sons, in fact, Zhang Zuolin really liked and attached the most importance to this eldest son, and was bent on cultivating him as his successor. Therefore, in the choice of Zhang Xueliang's life partner, Zhang Zuolin is also very cautious.
We all know that Zhang Zuolin's favorite daughter-in-law candidate is Yu Fengzhi, and at that time Zhang Xueliang stayed in Fengtian with his father, made a lot of european and American friends, full of the idea of free love, very dissatisfied with his father's arranged marriage, and had no interest in Yu Fengzhi, who was three years older than him, Zhang Zuolin gave way in order to promote this marriage, and said to Zhang Xueliang, "Your original match in the main room must listen to me, as long as you and Yu Fengzhi become relatives, you are willing to raise women outside in the future, Lao Tzu does not care", Zhang Xueliang was forced by his father's pressure to reluctantly agree to the marriage.
It turned out that Yu Fengzhi was the qianjin of Yu Wendou, a great merchant in the northeast, and Yu Wendou had a life-saving grace for Zhang Zuolin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zuolin was still an unknown small camp belt in the northeast army, and once he led his troops to suppress bandits, who knew that he had slipped into the encirclement of bandits, and his life was hanging in the balance. It was Yu Wendou who led people to drive away the bandits and saved Zhang Zuolin's small life. Since then, the two have formed a life-and-death friendship. Later, Zhang Zuolin was able to climb to the throne of the King of the Northeast step by step, and he did not receive financial assistance from Yu Wendou.
Zhang Zuolin is a man who knows how to be grateful, and this time he wants to marry Yu Fengzhi, who is Qianjin Yu fengzhi of Wendou, as his daughter-in-law, just to repay Yu Wendou's life-saving grace. In addition, Zhang Zuolin was a frequent visitor to Yu Wendou's family, and he had seen Zhishu Da Li many times, gentle and virtuous Yu Fengzhi, and he was very satisfied with his appearance and demeanor.
