Yuan Shikai had a wife and nine concubines, 17 sons, and 15 daughters. His life was full of scandals, such as his sixth aunt, Ye Shi, who was the second daughter-in-law who "did not pass through the door".
At that time, Yuan Shiqi was appointed as the governor of Directly Subordinate and the Minister of Beiyang, and sent his second son Yuan Kewen to the Governor's Palace of Nanjing to do business. The second son, who was less than twenty years old, arrived in Nanjing and soon became acquainted with Ye Hao, a sixteen-year-old woman from Yangzhou who hung her head in the fishing lane area. The steward learned that this prince was yuan shikai's second son, and he flattered and flattered in every way.
Kevin Yuan
The second son was mixed for more than three months, and yuan Kewen and Ye Hao were inseparable when they were separated, and They swore an engagement on marriage. Yuan Kewen gave Ye Hao a ruby ring embedded in it, and Ye Hao gave Yuan Kewen a six-inch photo as an engagement mark. Ye Hao also changed his name to Ye Qingwen, saying that he loved Yuan Kewen. The two also agreed that after Yuan Kewen returned to Tianjin to pray to his parents, he would immediately send someone to marry him.
After Yuan Kewen returned to Tianjin, he prostrated himself to his parents according to the family rules and asked for peace. Just when asking For Ann, one accidentally, Ye Qingwen's photo fell to the ground. When Yuan Shikai saw it, he scolded in a loud voice, "Who is this?" Where did it come from? At that time, the house was full of people, yuan Kewen was not yet married, naturally did not dare to reveal his absurd behavior in front of his father. Moreover, Ye Qingwen was born in fireworks, and he did not dare to say anything about the private lifelong engagement, so in desperation, he had to use his eyes to ask for help from his birth mother Jin Shi, who was standing behind Yuan Shikai.
This Jin is Yuan Shikai's third aunt. In that year, when the Jin family married over, they also brought two dowry girls, min and Wu. Yuan Shikai took them as his aunts and wives, and according to their age, he arranged Wu as the second aunt's wife, Jin's as the third aunt's wife, and Min's as the fourth aunt's wife, and let the eldest aunt' wife, Shen, teach them.
The fifth aunt is too Yang Clan
At this time, the Jin clan had already guessed eight or nine, so they pointed their fingers at the lady and pointed at themselves, and Yuan Kewen suddenly understood, and said in a hurry: "This is a personal lady that Governor Liu of Nanjing has found for my mother, and I specially brought back a photo to show my mother whether it is appropriate." Saying that he would pick up the photo and give it to the Jin family, he was preemptively picked up by Yuan Shikai.
Moreover, when Yuan Shikai took a picture of the results, it was a heavenly fairy-like young girl, and her anger suddenly subsided, and she said in a loud voice: "Good, good." Yuan Kewen was then sent back to his hometown of Xiangcheng, Henan, to supervise the construction of a house, and another fu dian was sent to bring enough silver to Nanjing to redeem Ye Qingwen. This Fu Dianlai was specially designed for Yuan Shikai to "handle" errands for his aunt and his wife. Since Yuan Kewen left, Ye Qingwen sat and waited all day, and now that he saw the Yuan family coming to marry, he couldn't help but pack up his clothes and go north happily.
Ye Qingwen arrived at Yuan Shikai's mansion in Tianjin and was placed in an unusually ornate courtyard with three meals served by servants and servants. Waiting and going, but always seeing Yuan Kewen's arrival. She was surprised and asked the people, "What about the second son?" The next person replied, "I don't know." She pressed again and again, and only then did someone quietly tell her: Gongzi has returned to his hometown in Henan. Ye Qingwen was sullen and unhappy.
Yuan Shikai
After three o'clock this night, there was a sudden noise in the courtyard, and the red candles in the hall were illuminated. A servant woman lifted the bamboo curtain and said happily, "The new aunt has arrived!" Ye Qingwen thought that the second son had returned, so he quickly got up, put on his shirt, lifted the curtain, stepped out to meet him, and threw himself into the arms of the people who came. At this moment, her cheeks seemed to be pricked by needles. He couldn't help but take two steps backwards and fixed his eyes on a stocky old man with a full mouth and beard.
Ye Qingwen then asked, "Who are you?" I am Lord Yuan." When Ye Qingwen heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he knelt on the ground and cried to Yuan Shikai, begging Lord Yuan to complete them both. Yuan Shikai was originally a drunkard, and this beautiful beauty who was slim and beautiful, elegant and handsome, could not be missed.
Therefore, Yuan Shikai forcibly carried her into the tent. How could a weak cardamom woman, in the heavily guarded governor's mansion, disobey the Qing Dynasty's directly subordinate governor. Since then, Ye Qingwen has relieved his sorrows with wine and is moody. Every time Yuan Shikai came to her house, he always sat there and didn't move.
Yuan Kewen was in his hometown, and when he heard that his father had returned an aunt from Nanjing Xinna, he was shocked and hurried back, and Fang knew that the new mother was his lover Ye Qingwen, like thunder. Yuan Shikai's scandal of stealing his daughter-in-law soon spread to society, and in order to restrain Yuan Kewen, fu Dian was sent to quickly find a girl surnamed Liu in Tianjin and complete the marriage in a hurry. Did you know that Lady Liu also went through the Fu Temple to pull the thread and had a one-night relationship with Yuan Shikai, only because her eight characters were compatible with Yuan Shikai's birthday. Yuan Shikai was deeply afraid that the red top would fall under her skirt and did not dare to take a concubine.
After fu dian came to spit out the truth after drinking, Yuan Kewen was angry, and even five aunts and wives were not happy. The girl surnamed Liu thought that she had a brief "affection" with Yuan Shikai, and cried to Yuan Shikai to be her master, and Yuan Shikai rebuked her with fear: Only people with achievements have three wives and four concubines, and it is not right for women's families to be jealous. In the following years, Yuan Shikai successively married the seventh aunt Tai Zhang, the eighth aunt Tai Guo, and the ninth aunt Tai Liu.
After Yuan Shikai's death, the whole family collapsed, everyone seemed to be uneasy, and the sixth aunt could only live independently in the end. According to records, the two sons of the sixth aunt each received 10,000 silver dollars and more than 8,000 shares of stock, as well as 20 properties, and her three daughters each received 7,000 silver dollars.
