Kong Lingkan
White Orchid felt that the first half of her life was "intoxicated" in the land of sound and color entertainment, and it was as if people had smoked opium. Addicted, it's hard to quit and don't want to quit.
So she wandered among the piles of men all day, saying that she was pleasing others, but actually pleasing herself. After all, she treats those powerful and powerful brothers, and she is mostly just a scene.
The Prince of the Sheng family said that he loved her and wanted to marry her, and she entered the Door of the Sheng Family without frowning. She did not believe in true love, but only wanted to be rich.
Later, the Confucius family said that he wanted her to go with him, and she followed him equally gracefully. She was "abandoned" by her husband, so why not find another "patron" for herself.
She thought that everything was a male and female love that began with erotic rights, and in the end, both of them were ruthless people who had a little sincerity.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Hu Xueyan, a "red-top merchant" who used to be like the sun in the sky, faded away like a sunset every day.
In the commercial "big war" between Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai, it ended with Hu Xueyan's bankruptcy and dismissal. What accompanied Hu Xueyan's "fall" was the rise of Sheng Xuanhuai's commercial empire.
"Fukang Qianzhuang" replaced the "Huqing Yutang" in and around Zhejiang Province. Sheng's enterprises and factories are lined up all over the country.
On the right is Kong Lingkan
Sheng Xuanhuai opened a factory, set up a business, founded a school... Politicians, entrepreneurs and philanthropists all in one.
He soon became the "richest man" in the Republic of China, and was known as the "father of Chinese industry", "the father of Chinese businessmen" and "the father of China's higher education".
With such a powerful and powerful father, Sheng Shengyi, the "Seven Young Men of the Sheng Family", naturally followed the "rising tide".
For rich men, lingering in the wind and moon place is really a normal thing. No one would say they were careful, just as no one cares if they are sincere or not.
As a famous social flower on the beach, the white orchid has already seen through the tricks of these rich people. Therefore, even if others envied her for being able to become Sheng Shengyi's "confidant with a red face", she still did not pay attention to it.
"I heard that The Seventh Young Lady has passed away, so Sister Orchid doesn't make a calculation for herself?"
White Orchid was amused in her heart, what is the Sheng family? What is her identity? There is a moment of delusional thoughts, and it is better to sleep than to come to sleep.
White Orchid thought she was sober, but she didn't expect that soon there would be an unconscious one.
Sheng Xuanhuai
Sheng Shengyi came to look for her, and her face was very ugly, as if she had been in the same life.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw her, Sheng Shengyi began to complain: "Father, he really doesn't have me in his heart, only a fourth brother." ”
Bai Orchid did not say a word, she had heard something about the Sheng family. Sheng Xuanhuai, as the richest man, has many children, but the only one he prefers is Sheng Enyi, the concubine born to the third wife.
And Sheng Shengyi's birth mother was a concubine, not very favored by Sheng Xuanhuai, and even Sheng Shengyi was not favored.
Speaking of which, that sheng enyi, the fourth son of the Sheng family, can be described as a standard clumsy son, a loser. Squandering the family property is not soft at all.
But who let Sheng Xuan spoil him? Only in this way, Sheng Shengyi's heart was naturally unbalanced. Every time I came to her, six times out of ten I was spitting bitter water and hugging her unevenly.
White Orchid gently reassured him as usual, persuading people or something, she was the best at it. Sure enough, not long after, Sheng Shengyi was coaxed into physical and mental pleasure.
Sheng Enyi
"If only the orchid could always be by my side." He took her hand and spoke with a sincere face.
Bai Orchid smiled softly, "When the Seven Youngsters come to look for it, I am here." ”
Beauty in the arms, soft whispering, nephrite warm fragrance. Sheng Shengyi really loves the white orchid, the "interpretation flower".
A bold idea crossed, and the brain did not have time to think, and it had already said: "Or you will marry me!" ”
White Orchid only laughed when he said it, and politely refused.
Sheng Shengyi was also shocked by himself, but he immediately felt that this move was feasible. He was only one of the father's most undesirable sons, and in the future, the family property would mostly fall into his own hands. Since the family treats him dispensably, why does he have to take care of the face of the family?
What's more, his wife who died early before was arranged by the family, and he honestly obeyed. This time, why can't he decide for himself?
The more Sheng Shengyi thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, a sense of revenge generated by long-term suppression and neglect "overridden" all his intellect.
moreover...... He looked at the docile and beautiful white orchids beside him.
Heart: She is so beautiful, and she is used to dancing and socializing. Marrying her, in addition to the bad reputation, is really a good thing to "make a steady profit"!
Not to mention that he doesn't care about fame either.
Sheng Shengyi repeatedly "weighed" the pros and cons in his heart, and finally made up his mind: "Orchid, I am serious, you marry me." ”
How the white orchid was unclear about the "twists and turns" in his mind.
She also calculated "an account" for herself. Although she is widely famous, but watching her grow older, instead of waiting for other little girls to be "squeezed down" in the future, it is better to wash her hands in the golden basin and "go ashore".
The two hit it off and decided on the marriage.
No matter how much the outside world talks, how the Sheng family is angry and opposed. The white orchid still carried the package and followed Sheng Shengyi into the house.
Sheng Shengyi's father, Sheng Xuanhuai
Bai Orchid knew that although Sheng Shengyi had a calculating heart, he could be so strong that he could marry her desperately. He treated her with some sincerity.
Although she does not believe in how long a man's sincerity can be, she is willing to try her best to repay his rare "true feelings".
It's just that in a chaotic world, things are always impermanent.
The marriage between Bai Orchid and Sheng Shengyi, with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the decline of the Sheng family, also gradually "disintegrated".
In 1916, Sheng Xuanhuai died.
As Sheng Shengyi expected, most of the Sheng family's family property fell into Sheng Enyi's pocket. There was not much of his family property.
The Sheng family did not have Sheng Xuanhuai, and Sheng Enyi was a profligate and clumsy disciple. The prestige of the Sheng family is not as good as a day, and it is about to fall in the middle of the family road.
Sheng Shengyi did not want to watch the decline of the court, so he wanted to find another way to rely on and find a new way out for himself and the Sheng family.
After Yuan Shikai was ousted, Chiang Kai-shek came to power with outstanding leadership skills and political acumen.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen songkong became the new four major families of the Republic of China.
Sheng Shengyi then put the idea on the Kong family, who already held the financial power of the Republic of China and had in-laws relations with the Jiang and Song families.
More importantly, Kong Xiangxi's wife, Song Xialing, worked as a tutor in the Sheng family. Through the line of Song Xialing, Sheng Shengyi easily caught up with the Kong family.
Just when Sheng Shengyi was worried about how to further gain the trust and attention of the Kong family, Kong Lingkan, the great young master of the Kong family, appeared.
In 1936, at the age of 20, Kong Lingkan graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai and held important positions in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Trust Bureau under the arrangement of his family.
Compared with his son's career, Kong Xiangxi and Song Xialing have more headaches than their marriage.
The Kong family and the Jiang family took a group photo
Kong Lingkan is a well-known playboy brother, and the red pink rhyme on his body is always continuous. Although the family did not interfere much, they also hoped that he could marry a wife first to receive his heart.
Who knew that Kong Lingkan actually went against the norm and fell in love with his aunt's sister Zhang Yiru.
Zhang Yiru's sister Zhang Leyi is the wife of Kong Lingkan's uncle Song Ziwen, that is to say, according to the generation, Kong Lingkan should be called Zhang Yiru "little aunt".
Zhang Leyi
The family only found it ridiculous to the extreme, and they were crazy against this relationship.
Kong Lingkan was bold and accustomed, and did not shy away from refuting it, saying that if he married Zhang Yiru, wouldn't he be able to be a brother-in-law with his uncle and kiss him.
These words made Song Andi ling's husband and wife very angry. Just when they were worried about what Kong Lingkan would do to insult the family, Kong Lingkan lost love.
It turned out that this rather shocking "unrequited love" was actually just Kong Lingkan's unrequited love.
Kong Lingkan was greatly shocked, and the whole person was immersed in the suffering of lost love.
Song Xialing and his wife did not care about these, they were happy at the same time. More and more anxious to set a door for his son, the talent of everyone is beautiful.
Therefore, the blind date banquet with Kong Lingkan as the "theme" is like flowing water.

Sheng Shengyi and the Kong family had frequent contacts, and naturally heard about this matter. In order to climb Kong Lingkan, Sheng Shengyi decided to find a satisfactory woman for Kong Lingkan.
Sheng Shengyi attaches great importance to the next blind date, after all, this is a matter of his future.
"My dear, you will accompany me to the banquet of the Confucius family."
Sheng Shengyi lovingly took Bai Orchid's hand and consulted with her. Since their marriage, sheng shengyi will bring white orchids to attend the banquet, no matter how big or small.
She has a beautiful appearance and knows how to deal with people. Taking her out can not only add a beautiful landscape, but also make the cooperation more smooth.
Bai Orchid knew how important it was for Sheng Shengyi to gain Kong Lingkan's favor, and she and him were both husband and wife, and honor and disgrace were one.
This kind of business that helps her husband's career to take him to the next level, she is a smart person, and she is unlikely to refuse.
The white orchid smiled and agreed.
She was about to turn forty, but her face was extremely well maintained. Compared with the young and immature girl, there is more of a sexy charm of a mature woman.
Just a slight smile will make people feel a lot of style, which will make people's hearts flutter.
Sheng Shengyi caressed her cheek, only to feel that the decision to marry her was incomparably correct. After all, although there are many beauties, such an informed, intelligent and effective beauty is really one in a hundred.
Sheng Shengyi was proud of his vision, but he did not know that after tomorrow, his proud wife would be someone else's wife.
At the blind date banquet, Kong Lingkan, who was forced by his family and had no choice but to come, sat alone in his seat, which was quite boring.
Not long after, I heard a greeting sound.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Sheng Shengyi in a suit and leather shoes striding toward him. And beside him, he was followed by an extremely beautiful and elegant beauty in Chinese clothes.
Kong Lingkan had seen all kinds of beauties, but he had never had the shock brought to him by the woman in front of him. To be fair, she is not the most beautiful.
Song Xialing
But the moment he made eye contact with her, Kong Lingkan felt strongly that there was a wonderful gentle atmosphere emanating from her body.
Perhaps, this is the unique charm and style of mature women!
All in all, the whole banquet came down. The woman that Sheng Shengyi introduced to Kong Lingkan, he couldn't see a single one of them.
The gaze couldn't help but follow the white orchid. Between the staggering of chips, he even couldn't help but say to Sheng Shengyi many times: "Your wife is so beautiful." ”
His eyes were full of fascination, and Sheng Shengyi immediately understood his meaning.
And Kong Lingkan's undisguised praise is tantamount to a kind of bright "hint": he has taken a fancy to the white orchid and hopes that he can "cut love".
"Jiangshan" and "Beauty" seem to be an eternal choice question. Most people will undoubtedly choose the former, and Sheng Shengyi is no exception.
Kong Lingkan and his uncle and aunt
He also had a struggle in his heart, and he really loved the white orchid, otherwise he would not have insisted on marrying her.
But the love between men and women, for him, is just the icing on the cake. If there is, nature is good. If not, there are not many regrets.
What's more, now it is necessary to use her to "exchange" for the cause of his heart. His choice is self-evident.
What Bai Orchid saw the most was men's undisguised fascination with her, and Kong Lingkan's thoughts were clear to her at a glance.
She couldn't help but look at her husband next to her, who should have understood it too. At this moment, the white orchid was curious about how her husband would choose.
She watched the stunned, struggling and unwilling looking under his eyes, and finally gradually became firm. His eyes were filled with ambitions for money and career.
Song Song Ling Kong Xiangxi
Bai Orchid understood that Sheng Shengyi was going to "abandon" her for riches!
A touch of bitterness welled up in his heart, and he was quickly suppressed. The smile on his face is still bright and moving.
"He's a businessman, she's a prostitute. They all have their own needs, and since they have greater interests to be gained, why should they care about the so-called sincerity. ”
So when Kong Lingkan offered to let her stay, Sheng Shengyi agreed without hesitation. The white orchid also happily agreed.
It is absurd to say that it is very serious, but this blind date banquet, all three people have achieved their goal. No matter how much outsiders criticize, the parties are always harmonious!
Compared with the tacit understanding of the three of them, the Kong family directly set off an "eight-magnitude earthquake".
Prior to this, White Orchid had come to The Kong family many times to accompany Song Xialing to play mahjong. Now that the card friend who is a married woman has suddenly become a daughter-in-law, Song Xialing is the first to accept it.
Kong Lingkan did not care about these, perhaps it was the unrequited love that ended in ignorance last time, or it may be this rare heartbeat.
Kong Lingkan did not want to miss it again, firmly identified the white orchid, and insisted that she would not marry.
In 1939, at the age of 23, Kong Lingkan went to the United States to study at Harvard University.
Before leaving, he sent a telegram to White Orchid, hoping that she would come to him.
Bai Orchid had already identified her situation, and Sheng Shengyi would not want her again. The only thing she could rely on now was Kong Lingkan.
Thinking about this, I no longer hesitate.
Simply packed up his bags, he left for Chongqing by car and followed Kong Lingkan away.
In the eyes of the white orchid, this rush is more like an unknown journey. She did not dare to have much confidence in herself and Kong Lingkan's future.
After all, an emotion that begins with a transaction is not love at all.
But later, they took a passenger ship to the United States together, and they held a wedding in the United States. The white orchid changed from Mrs. Sheng to Mrs. Kong.
Bai Orchid also had a little sincerity at this time, and Kong Ling treated her more than just "playing". If that's the case, why can't they try to go seriously?
Kong Lingkan's treatment of white orchids changed from "coveting her beauty" to getting used to her companionship and tenderness. And the white orchid is also under his protection, with the wealth and peace of the second half of life.
Decades of mutual support have actually made their feelings have a little rare sincerity.
"I have been wandering in the flowers all my life, she is not the most beautiful, not the most excellent, not even the most loving to me, but she knows me best." 」
A word of "understanding" allows the white orchid to successfully "live" into Kong Lingkan's heart.
This ridiculous marriage began with the unruly and the flesh. But in the end, they are rarely loyal to each other.
Tong Dawei as Kong Lingkan
White Orchid looks back on the past, although those rich men who pursue her are charming, she is not a gamer.
First Sheng Shengyi, then Kong Lingkan. Although she couldn't help herself, she complied with her own wishes to the greatest extent.
She has glory and wealth, and she has the so-called true heart. Although it is a life at the mercy of fate, it has also been painted into the most splendid and gorgeous volume in the social field.
