In ancient China, the marriage of men and women has always been the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker. At that time, there was no free love and free choice of mate. But since the beginning of the nineteenth century, a lot of new ideas have flowed into our country in the West, and people have their own ideas and choices about marriage.
During the Republic of China, such a thing happened that both men and women were free to love, and interestingly, when a man first came to visit, the woman called him uncle. The second time I called my brother, the third time I called my dear with a red face, what happened in this?
Unrequited love at first sight
This happened in the twenties of the last century, and the male protagonist of this love story is named Song Ziwen. Born in the 1890s, he studied exceptionally well from an early age, and with a prominent family background, he studied abroad during his university years.
After Song Ziwencheng returned, because he understood the advanced economic management of the West, he entered the financial department of our country. Song Ziwen's ability is particularly outstanding, many of the financial solutions he proposed have achieved great results, and after more than ten years of work, Song Ziwen has become the minister of finance.
After Song Ziwen became a minister, he met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in China. Song Ziwen is not a nerd, he has his own style and way of dealing with people. It is precisely because of this that Song Ziwen's career path has flourished.
But the officialdom is proud, and the love scene is frustrated. After Song Ziwen returned from studying abroad, he was exposed to the Western concept of marriage. He longs for two loves, love at first sight. Therefore, during his return to China to work, he has not found the object of his choice.
Although Song Ziwen is highly powerful, many people introduce him to girls. But Song Ziwen did not look at any of them, so far, he has been single. In 1927, Song Ziwen came to Lushan to play.
The beauty of Lushan Mountain made Song Ziwen linger, out of admiration for Lushan Mountain. Song Ziwen decided that he would build a private villa at the foot of Lushan Mountain. After all, Song Ziwen is a cultural person and still has his own feelings.
In order to build a villa, Song Ziwen thought about going and thought of a person to handle this matter for him, that is, the local real estate tycoon Zhang Mouzhi. Song Ziwen and Zhang Mouzhi's friendship is not shallow, so they come to visit with gifts.
Zhang Mouzhi saw That Song Ziwen was coming, and immediately warmly welcomed him. When Zhang Mouzhi was a few years old, Song Ziwen called himself a younger brother and asked Zhang Mouzhi to handle the villa for him.
Zhang Mouzhi's heart is a hundred willing, although he is rich, but he has money but no power. As the minister of finance, Song Ziwen can certainly provide him with a lot of convenience, and for Song Ziwen, Zhang Mouzhi is definitely responsive.
While the two were chatting, a girl came downstairs. Song Ziwen looked up and was stunned. Song Ziwen looked back and found that the girl was Zhang Leyi, the daughter of Zhang Mouzhi.
Song Ziwen fell in love with Zhang Leyi at first sight, but Zhang Leyi did not know his intentions at this time. Zhang Mouzhi asked his daughter to call someone, Zhang Leyi directly called an uncle, Song Ziwen almost choked on a mouthful of water, and could only agree.
Goodbye directly confide in the heart
Because of Song Ziwen's age, Zhang Leyi definitely did not have male or female feelings for him. But Song Ziwen already had a thousand thoughts, and after some thoughts, Song Ziwen felt that he could not be too hasty, or he had to think in the long run.
Zhang Mouzhi wanted to keep Song Ziwen to eat at home, but Song Ziwen did not know how to face Zhang Leyi at present, and could only find an excuse to shirk. After returning home, Song Ziwen lay in bed at night, turning over and over and unable to sleep.
Zhang Leyi's smile lingered in his mind. Song Ziwen can be said to have been, fascinated by Zhang Leyi. Song Ziwen knew that if he did this for a long time, he would definitely get lovesickness.
So Song Ziwen decided to consult Zhang Mouzhi about this matter first. Song Ziwen came to Zhang Leyi's house again with gifts, and Zhang Mouzhi thought that Song Ziwen had come to talk about the villa. However, after Song Ziwen said his thoughts, Zhang Mouzhi fell into contemplation.
Because Song Ziwen said that he was in love with his daughter and wanted to marry her. Zhang Mouzhi, of course, was very willing to do this. Because Song Ziwen has a high position of authority, if he had such a son-in-law, his business would definitely go to a higher level.
But Song Ziwen was 14 years older than his daughter, and he was afraid that her daughter would not accept it. So Zhang Mouzhi told Song Ziwen that he had no objections, but he still had to ask his daughter's opinion. As for Zhang Mouzhi's opinion, Song Ziwen naturally understood.
After all, now marriage and love are free, Zhang Mouzhi because the family has money, Zhang Leyi has also been exposed to since childhood, many new Ideas in the West, and they must have their own ideas about marriage. Subsequently, Zhang Mouzhi called his daughter out and told her what Song Ziwen thought.
Zhang Leyi did not show his meaning, but faced Song Ziwen, mischievously called out to his brother, and then turned upstairs. Song Ziwen and Zhang Mouzhi were blinded and did not know what Zhang Leyi meant.
The third time directly called dear
Zhang Mouzhi could only let Song Ziwen go back first, and he could do his daughter's ideological work. After Song Ziwen returned home, he was very worried in his heart. If Zhang Leyi rejected himself, what should he do?
If he gave up on this, he would still be reluctant to do so. But he is a person with an identity, and he can't always stalk Zhang Leyi.
But after a few days, Song Ziwen figured out one thing. That's why Zhang Leyi called himself that brother. The first time she called herself uncle and the second time she called her brother, didn't she improve her attitude toward herself? Although there is no direct consent, at least there is no objection.
Even Zhang Leyi's attitude towards this matter is still relatively positive. Zhang Mouzhi was at home all day, asking his daughter what she thought of this matter. But the daughter never answered him, and Zhang Mou was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Zhang Mouzhi told his daughter in detail about how Song Ziwen became the minister of finance from primary school to studying abroad. After a week, the daughter told Zhang Mouzhi that you should call Song Ziwen to come to the house for a meal.
Zhang Mouzhi did not know what his daughter meant by this, whether she agreed to this matter or rejected Song Ziwen on the spot. If the daughter rejects Song Ziwen, how should she get along with him. Zhang Mouzhi did not dare to think much, and could only invite Song Ziwen to come to the house for dinner according to his daughter's wishes.
After Hearing the Reply, Song Ziwen took the gift and went to Zhang Leyi's house with trepidation. After the meals were served, Zhang Leyi appeared. After everyone was seated, Zhang Leyi clipped a piece of fish and said to Song Ziwen, Dear please eat fish.
This affectionate cry made Song Ziwen cry for a moment and a half, and he had not yet reacted. But Zhang Mouzhi knew, and his daughter had already agreed to this matter. Song Ziwen felt good in his heart and finished eating this meal.
Not long after, Song Ziwen married Zhang Leyi as his wife under the witness of everyone. And the married life of the two is also particularly happy, there is no age gap between the husband and wife, but they are in love with each other, which has become a good story during the Republic of China.
