"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent, a lady, a gentleman." In the pre-Qin period, the way of expressing feelings between men and women was direct and warm, sending flowers and sending small gifts, exchanging personal jewelry, you and I set the marriage between you and me, and the two feelings were happy and then combined, which was a natural thing. Although the words of the parents later prevailed, by the Republic of China period, the fashion of free love became popular again.
There are many talents and beauties in the Republic of China, masters and heroes, generals and bandits, so many that the relationship between them is complicated, you are my enemy, I am his friend, he is your relative... In addition, there are more people who have received new education, and there are more novel stories.
In that era, there were many anecdotes and gossip about love marriage that are still talked about by later generations, the most famous, probably counting "Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi, Lin Huiyin, Lu Xiaoman's two or three things", in fact, some unpopular love stories are much more interesting than Xu Zhimo's story.
One day in September 1924, the Cangzhou Hotel in Shanghai was holding a lively wedding, but the bride was more special, she was not a young girl, but an "old lady" who was already in her 40s and had an aging face. The title "old lady", according to her age, is a little disrespectful, which stems from the fact that the day before the wedding, when the couple went to see the venue together, the hotel service staff actually regarded her as the bride's mother and asked directly:
"Old lady, when is the lady coming tomorrow?" The bride was devastated, and fortunately, her husband (who looked very young) who was with her rushed to comfort her. This anecdote has always been concerned by good people, and immediately someone wrote a poem to ridicule:
Shao Zhang Xishi ben tianjue, dongfang Cangzhou hotel open, the waiter smiled and asked the old lady, when will the lady come tomorrow?
"Shao" is Shao Yuanchong, who was 34 years old at the time, and "Zhang" is Zhang Mojun, who was 41 years old at the time. Shao was once a senior member of the state government, and his behavior for people was not perfect, but he was still resolutely opposed to some people and things that betrayed the interests of the nation.
It is reasonable to say that Shao was young and promising (the elder who joined the League at the age of 16, and the League was only established for less than a year at that time), and it was not difficult to marry a young and beautiful bridesmaid in a general position. However, he identified Zhang Mojun, who was 7 years older than himself, and actually chased after him for more than ten years, and it was not easy to wait until Zhang Mojun agreed and entered the marriage hall with him.
Zhang Mojun had previously looked down on him, and she had been hurt by her feelings and vowed not to marry for the rest of her life. This is another interesting thing, Zhang Mojun originally had a first love boyfriend, did not expect to take home to see her parents, the boyfriend and her sister fell in love at first sight, Zhang Mojun's mother inexplicably contributed to this good marriage, leaving Zhang Mojun alone embarrassed;
This incident directly led to Shao's pursuit of Zhang Mojun, Zhang was not only unwilling, but also gave him 3 big problems. It is equivalent to saying that Shao is through five levels and six generals before marrying his sweetheart, 3 big problems, what is the situation?
It turned out that Zhang Mojun was born in a family of nobles in Xiangxiang County, Hunan Province, and her father was named Zhang Bochun, who once served under Zeng Guoquan and joined the League in 1905. Her mother was a well-known female teacher in Hainei, and Zhang Mojun, who grew up in this environment, received a new-style education from an early age and grew up to become China's first female member of the higher education examination.
She and Qiu Jin were best sisters, and Sun Yat-sen praised her as a "young and promising young woman". After the Xinhai Revolution, Zhang Mojun and his close friend Jiang Zuobin (a former diplomat and an army general) fell in love and brought them back to their hometown, and as a result, an oolong occurred.
After Jiang Zuobin married Zhang Mojun's sister, as their colleague, Shao immediately felt that the opportunity had come, and he had a crush on Zhang Mojun for a long time, only because Zhang was in love with Jiang, there was no chance.
But Zhang Mojun could not forget her ex-boyfriend and had no interest in Shao, so she demanded that Shao, like Jiang, must study abroad; if she studied from Wen, she wanted to be an official; if she studied martial arts, she wanted to be a general. Zhang Mojun originally thought that this young man would retreat in frustration, who knew that he really went to study step by step, to take office, perseverance and Write letters to Zhang, and after 13 years, Zhang Mojun was finally moved.
13 years, this has to be put into the present, both men and women, I am afraid it is impossible to spend such a long time to chase a person. Zhang and Shao's feelings came to fruition and received many blessings. Shao's infatuation makes people sigh, there are too many love scandals in the Republic of China period, and it is absolutely necessary to have enough self-control to resist temptation.
