Speaking of polygamy in the Republic of China period was still a very common thing, but there are exceptions, he has a wife and a concubine in his lifetime, which is also rare. He was Yan Xishan, the warlord ruler of the Republic of China, and his ranking in the Republic of China period can be said to be very high. He ruled Shanxi Province for many years, refused to be divided by warlords, and made great contributions to the stability of Shanxi Province. During Yan Xishan's reign, the development trend of Shanxi Province was very satisfactory. Why did such a beautiful figure have only one wife and one concubine in that era? Moreover, the concubine was still found by the old man.
Xu Zhuqing was Yan Xishan's first wife, and she and Yan Xishan had an arranged marriage. She was born into a wealthy family in Wutai County, Shanxi Province, and when she was 16 years old, her father asked her to marry 16-year-old Yan Xishan, whose family background was also OK, and the two were also suitable.
In the days after marriage, whether poor or rich, Xu Zhuqing accompanied Yan Xishan and did not abandon him, which also made Yan Xishan very moved.
Once Yan Xishan was in business, failed and went out of business, and the situation at that time was very difficult, they not only had to face the problem of survival, but also faced the pressure of being pursued by debt collectors every day. This was the worst time for Yan Xi = Shan, Xu Zhuqing not only did not leave him, but even paid off Yan Xishan's debts with a dowry to subsidize his family. Later, when Yan Xishan studied abroad, Xu Zhuqing did not complain at all, but silently waited for her husband to return to China and helped Yan Xishan take care of his parents at home. It can be said that without Xu Zhuqing's support, Yan Xishan would not have had the later glory.
Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been very good, respecting each other as guests, but more than ten years have passed, Xu Zhuqing has not been pregnant. At first, Yan Xishan thought that it was because his schedule was very busy, gathering less and leaving more, and later, he took Xu Zhuqing to the hospital for a special examination, only to find that his wife could not have children.
At this time, his father-in-law Xu Yijing became anxious, and over the years, he watched Yan Xishan's career flourish all the way, and also saw the friendship with his daughter Xu Zhuqing. He was very touched by this, and naturally did not want the Yan family to have no queen.
Subsequently, he took his 14-year-old adopted daughter to Yan Xishan's house without authorization, asking him to marry his adopted daughter as a concubine and assume the responsibility of continuing to renew incense for the Yan family. Of course, Yan Xishan did not want to accept it, but at the moment he could only agree.
In this way, the 30-year-old Yan Xishan married the 14-year-old Xu Shi. After xu married into the Yan family, he changed his name to Xu Lansen. Xu Lansen is also a good daughter-in-law, especially diligent and filial piety, so Yan Xishan also likes Xu Lansen. In addition, Xu Lansen is also very polite, she respects Xu Zhuqing very much, whenever she has questions about things, she will carefully consult Xu Zhuqing and make a decision after getting Xu Zhuqing's consent.
Soon Xu Lansen bore yan xishan five sons. Except for the death of the eldest son and the third son, the other three have grown up. It can also be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the old man.
