In 1904, the wealthy merchant Zhang shi in Hangzhou met the 24-year-old Qian Junfu, and was immediately attracted by Qian Junfu's talent, not only decided to marry his 16-year-old beloved daughter Zhang Lanjuan to Qian Junfu, but also decided to sponsor Qian Junfu to study in Japan.
Qian Junfu is also a Hangzhou native, his ancestors are very famous, is respected by the people of the two Zhejiang people as the "Sea Dragon King" of the founding emperor of the Wu Yue state Qian Wei, although the ancestors are very powerful, but to Qian Junfu's generation, has long been in the middle of the family, Qian Junfu's father in Hangzhou by selling silk, barely survived, and Qian Junfu, also very contentious, was admitted to Hangzhou Qiushi Academy (the predecessor of Zhejiang University) for further study.
But unfortunately, in 1899, because of many reasons, the 19-year-old Qian Junfu graduated from Qiushi College and entered the society early to work hard, although he did not get the "graduation certificate" of Qiushi College, but people who had received higher education, no matter where they went, gave people a different feeling, which was only in 1904, appreciated by Zhang Shi, and decided to let Qian Junfu be his dragon-riding son-in-law.
Although Zhang Lanjuan is 8 years younger than Qian Junfu, the two can also be regarded as an arranged marriage, but Zhang Lanjuan is versatile, not only kind and kind,but also has a high talent in arithmetic and embroidery, in Hangzhou at that time, it was also a famous talented woman, can marry a talented woman as a wife, Qian Junfu naturally has nothing to be dissatisfied with, and the life of the husband and wife after marriage is very harmonious.
When Qian Junfu and Zhang Lanjuan were married, China was at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the wind and rain were fluctuating, and Qian Junfu, who was concerned about the fortunes of the country, said goodbye to his newlywed wife and went to Japan to study until 1910.
However, the long-term separation, do not affect the feelings of Qian Junfu and Zhang Lanjuan, in the second year of Qian Junfu's return to China, Zhang Lanjuan gave Qian Junfu a son, he is the later famous "father of China's aerospace", "father of Chinese missiles", "father of China's automation control" and "king of rockets" Qian Xuesen.
But unfortunately, since the birth of his son Qian Xuesen, Qian Junfu was busy with work, and the couple gathered less and left more, and for many years after that, Zhang Lanjuan did not have a son and a half daughter, and the husband and wife guarded a son to live a life, and life was cold and cold.
When Qian Junfu went to Japan to study, there was a classmate named Jiang Baili, who married his Japanese wife Jiang Zuomei in 1914, which was exactly 10 years later than Qian Junfu and Zhang Lanjuan, but Jiang Baili and his wife gave birth to 5 daughters in succession, and later, Jiang Baili helped Qian Junfu's family next door, and the family was lively, which made Zhang Lanjuan envious.
In 1922, in the 18th year of Qian Junfu's marriage to Zhang Lanjuan, Zhang Lanjuan, who had never had a daughter, made an important decision, deciding to pass on Jiang Ying, the third daughter of the Jiang family, and make herself a daughter.
For this decision, Jiang Baili and his wife do not have any opinions, first, the two families are very close, and passing on their daughter Jiang Ying is equivalent to having two pairs of parents who love each other, why not enjoy it? Second, Qian Junfu and Jiang Baili are friends with Mo Rebellion, and Qian Junfu and his wife have opened their mouths, and it is not good not to agree to it, right?
Therefore, Jiang Ying, who was only 3 years old, became "Qian Xueying", for this daughter, Qian Junfu and his wife are very valued, and also set up several tables of banquets, inviting relatives and friends to witness, however, it did not take long for Jiang Baili and his wife to repent, what happened?
It turned out that at a banquet, "Qian Xueying", who had inherited the Qian family, sang a song "Yan Shuangfei" with his brother Qian Xuesen, and the two performed extremely well, and all the people who watched it clapped their hands and praised it.
After careful consideration, in the end, Jiang Baili and his wife still decided to take Jiang Ying back, and although Zhang Lanjuan was reluctant in her heart, she still agreed to Jiang Baili's request, but before Jiang Ying left, Zhang Lanjuan said: "Your third eldest son, you will have to be my daughter-in-law in the future!" ”。
In a word, it was said that Zhang Lanjuan was reluctant to Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying was unwilling to leave, but how could the children's affairs be said well? Unexpectedly, 25 years later, Qian Xuesen did not disappoint his mother.
In 1946, Jiang Ying returned from studying abroad, the next year, a personal concert held at the Lyceum Theater in Shanghai, it was also in this year that Jiang Ying again met Qian Xuesen, whom he had not seen for many years, and the two gradually came and went, at first, Jiang Ying and his sister also introduced objects for Qian Xuesen, as everyone knows, Qian Xuesen has long liked his "sister" many years ago.
After Jiang Ying introduced the object to Qian Xuesen, Qian Xuesen used the excuse to see "Aunt Jiang" and often ran to Jiang's house, for Qian Xuesen, Jiang Ying also had a different mood, and soon after, Qian Xuesen wanted to study in the United States, and said to Jiang Ying: "Follow me to the United States!" Jiang Ying was very surprised: "Why do you want to go to the United States with you?" Let's first communicate and get to know each other! ”。
But Qian Xuesen disagreed, repeatedly telling Jiang Ying: "No, go now!" Soon, Jiang Ying surrendered his weapons, and in 1947, the 28-year-old Jiang Ying and the 36-year-old Qian Xuesen entered the marriage hall.
After marriage, Jiang Ying accompanied Qian Xuesen to study abroad, and after returning to China, he engaged in music education, and the husband and wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and their life was very happy.
