Dressed in a red drapery, the bride slowly appeared under the support of others, and unlike other brides, this bride was 78 years old.
Her husband, the groom of the wedding, is also 81 years old. The two men were at the wedding scene, their hands clasped, afraid that something would separate them again.
The wedding of the two old men was 55 years late, but fortunately the earth was round, and they were back in place.
Although time has passed, the feelings between the two of them have not diminished, and these two people are Zhang Maoyuan and Li Kaidi.
Some people will not understand that if they are so in love with each other, how can they marry at such an old age?
This is because before, there was a big misunderstanding among them.
An unexpected encounter
Speaking of Zhang Maoyuan, not many people may know; but when it comes to Zhang Ailing's aunt, everyone should have an impression, because Zhang Maoyuan is the aunt who often appears in Zhang Ailing's words.
Zhang Maoyuan was born in a wealthy family at the end of the Qing Dynasty, his father was the young and promising Zhang Peilun, and his mother was Li Jujun, the daughter of Li Hongzhang, who knew dali.
Because Zhang Maoyuan is the daughter born of his parents' older age, he has wanted the treasure in his palm since he was a child, and he is afraid of bumping it.
Zhang Peilun died when Zhang Maoyuan was more than 2 years old, so Zhang Maoyuan's fatherly love in her life was very small, which should also be related to her stubbornness in life.
But fortunately, her mother Li Jujun received education since childhood and understood the importance of reading, so as soon as Zhang Maoyuan reached the age of studying, he was sent by his mother to receive a new-style education.
But her mother's love could not stay with her for too long, and when Zhang Maoyuan was 15 years old, her mother also died, so she could only live with her brother.
Her brother did not learn any tricks, and after inheriting a large inheritance from his parents, he did nothing every day and indulged in pleasure.
Zhang Maoyuan was afraid that she would become like her brother, so she insisted on studying and being a self-reliant woman in the new era.
At the age of marriage, relatives and friends constantly asked and urged Zhang Maoyuan.
However, Zhang Maoyuan, who was influenced by new ideas, was unwilling to live a life that could see the head for a lifetime after marrying someone.
So, she wanted to leave this place and go abroad to continue her studies.
When Zhang Maoyuan left, he was not alone, and with her was another woman, Huang Yifan, who was Zhang Maoyuan's sister-in-law and Zhang Ailing's mother, and the relationship between the two was very good.
The two men boarded the ship abroad with great anticipation and longing.
Excitement and joy filled their hearts, but also with a hint of confusion, because they did not know whether they would be able to live abroad or not.
Who knew that just after getting on the ship, Zhang Maoyuan encountered the first difficult thing, she was seasick.
As the sea shook, the ship was also shaking wildly, Zhang Maoyuan stood on the deck, leaned out and kept vomiting, she had a headache and did not know what to do.
Just at this moment, a folded handkerchief was handed over, and when Zhang Maoyuan took it and turned to thank him, the two looked at each other.
I saw a man very gentlemanly stretching out his hand, wanting to help slap Zhang Maoyuan's back to make her more comfortable.
In just a few moments, the entire deck was haunted by an ambiguous atmosphere.
After slowing down, after Zhang Maoyuan and Li Kaidi introduced themselves to each other, they talked familiarly, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Misunderstandings arise
During the conversation, it was learned that Li Kaidi was a student who graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and had excellent grades, so he obtained the qualification of studying abroad at public expense.
This made Li Kaidi's favorability in Zhang Maoyuan's heart increase by a large margin.
The days of crossing the ocean are relatively long, due to boredom, Li Kaidi and Zhang Maoyuan often make an appointment to meet and chat on the deck, and the two always have endless topics.
They found that the two people not only had very similar hobbies, but even they were very fond of studying literary works and studying various articles, so the distance between the two was one step closer.
It didn't take long for the two young hearts to be close together, making people very happy.
The good times did not last long, and after Li Kaidi learned of Zhang Maoyuan's origins, all this changed.
Zhang Maoyuan's maternal grandfather, Li Hongzhang, was accused of being a "traitor" by the world in the last years of the Qing Dynasty because he was sent by Cixi to sign many treaties of mourning power and humiliating the country.
Zhang Maoyuan's father, Zhang Peilun, lost on the battlefield one after another, leaving the country without dignity; and her brother, in the eyes of others, was a person who enjoyed himself all day and was debauched.
Therefore, Zhang Maoyuan's background in life is unacceptable in Li Kaidi's eyes. Because he knew that his parents were still under the influence of serious feudal ideas, there was no way to accept this complicated family lineage.
After Zhang Maoyuan knew about this matter, she was very sad, she did not expect That Li Kaidi actually attached so much importance to the lintel of the family lineage, so she gambled and gradually alienated Li Kaidi.
Li Kai saw this situation for the first time and thought that Zhang Maoyuan meant that the two broke up, so he also ignored this relationship, and the two said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, in the days that followed, neither person's heart could really let go of this matter.
Meet again
Zhang Maoyuan, who returned from studying abroad, first did to inquire about Li Kaidi's news, but he did not think that Li Kaidi had already accepted his parents' arrangement and married Xia Yuzhi.
After knowing this news, Zhang Maoyuan seemed to hear her heartbreaking voice in a trance, but she still pretended to be strong and wanted to hide from everyone.
Zhang Maoyuan and Li Kaidi get along as ordinary friends, and she always maintains a proper distance, without the slightest deviation.
Zhang Maoyuan has a very good impression of Xia Yuzhi, because her two dressing styles are similar to other aspects, and even the two have become good girlfriends.
After Li Kaidi got married, Zhang Maoyuan did not fall in love with anyone else, let alone get married.
Li Kaidi always had an unspeakable feeling in Zhang Maoyuan's eyes, which Xia Yuzhi should have seen long ago.
But none of the three of them had punctured this relationship.
Until the time of Xia Yuzhi's death, he instructed Li Kaidi and Zhang Maoyuan to say:
"I have long seen that Li Kaidi likes you, but the previous misunderstanding made him feel bad, and later after the misunderstanding was solved, I became pregnant, so he chose to stay with me and take responsibility." Now I'm going, you must get married, so that I can rest assured, sorry, I delayed your life! ”
So there is a scene that begins with a different wedding.
epilogue
Often missed is a lifetime.
Zhang Maoyuan and Li Kaidi misunderstood, so one married someone who did not love, and the other did not marry for love for life, which made people feel very sorry.
But fortunately, the misunderstanding between the two people is solved, and they can still be husband and wife in this life, which is also heaven has not failed this pair of people with hearts.
