Chinese often said that it is very blessed to have the protection of the ancestors after planting trees. But as the saying goes, the rich are not more than three generations, and the thick family foundation cannot be seen, and they cannot bear the defeat of the ignorant descendants. There was such a big young master in the Republic of China, and his mother asked him to go out and find a job to support himself, and the young master said unashamedly, I am Li Hongzhang's grandson, why should I serve people.
So what is the name of this person, why didn't he go out to work, and why did Li Hongzhang's descendants fall here?
After 01 Shigetomi
Li Zijia can be said to have been born with a golden spoon, he is the grandson of Li Hongzhang, a military aircraft heavy minister at the end of the Qing Dynasty, an absolute male protagonist of the novel, and a collection of thousands of pets. Parents attach great importance to this child, let him open the door to study at a very young age, and invite the best teachers. The Li family hopes that Li Zijia can inherit the family business, shine on the lintel, and lead the family to continue to struggle.
Li Hongzhang should be very familiar with him, and no matter whether his merits or political achievements are right or wrong, we cannot deny Li Hongzhang's political status in the late Qing Dynasty. The Li family has indeed had unlimited scenery for a long time and has a fairly good family foundation. However, his grandson Li Zijia was a lazy and lazy boy, and the eldest young master had no interest in studying and indulged in eating, drinking and gambling all day.
02 Extravagant everyday life
In his 10s, Li Zijia had grown into a bully with deep vices. He not only wandered in the green houses and brothels, but also smoked opium and gambled. Of course, Li Zijia's mother did not look at her son's deeds, reprimanded him many times, and also married Li Zijia to a wife who knew how to read dali, hoping that he could accept his heart and live in peace of mind.
Who knew that Li Zijia could not support the wall in the mud, and argued with a thick face that if his family was rich, there would be no money anywhere, and even in order to escape the persuasion of his mother and wife, he fled the family, married a singer as an aunt, and lived separately. Although he lives alone in his new home, Li Zijia does not have any heart at all, and continues to go out to fool around. Because he was too frequent in the land of flowers and willows in the Qinglou, he was sick at a young age, and he could no longer play around anymore.
However, Li Zijia was able to stop, and he found a new stimulus, gambling. The big young master is pompous, he must bring a bunch of people in and out, and he also has a generous shot when he enters the casino, but his hand is extremely smelly, and he gambles nine times out of ten. And people with hearts have long been eyeing him, they deliberately sit on the zhuang, let Li Zijia win a few, be happy, and when he increases the bet, then lose a fine light, simply slaughter him as a pig.
03 Living on the streets
As it went on, Li Zijia quickly spent his 500 yuan of living expenses per month. But at that time, he had long been addicted to gambling, and in order to continue gambling, he could only take out the land title and land property to mortgage and sell, and finally of course he still lost. But the addiction of gambling is that the more they lose, the more they have to play, they always feel that they can win it all at once.
At that time, Li Zijia's health was not very good, and he needed someone to carry him to and from the casino, even so, Li Zijia did not give up gambling. At that time, he estimated that he had already killed the red eye, and he had no sense. In the end, Li Zijia actually lost the Shanghai and Wuhu villas that Li Hongzhang left for him, as well as the shops and fertile fields. One second he was still a young master, and the next second he became a poor egg. Li Zijia lost in the casino and went crazy, and finally the beater threw it out like garbage.
Since then, the family has been in the middle of the road, and it is difficult to even make a living every day. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Zijia had completely lost all his family property. His mother spent all day with a sad face and advised him to go out and find a job, maybe to earn some money as an interpreter. However, the young master's temper did not change, and he yelled that he was Li Hongzhang's grandson, how could he go out to serve others. In this way, Li Zijia became a tramp on the street, and he had also sought help from the family that was good friends with the Li family, but in that war era, everyone lived like walking on thin ice, who could really help him?
Hungry and cold, And with no way out, Li Zijia was gradually discouraged, and he felt that it was better to end himself. On an ordinary day, Li Zijia passed a lake, he looked at his own reflection in the water, suddenly felt helpless, and suddenly jumped. Later, although he was rescued, Li Zijia, who was weak and weak, died.
In fact, it is better for rich and noble families to leave their children gold mountains and silver mountains than to leave them with knowledge, insight and sound personality. Otherwise, as long as the descendants of future generations produce a person like Li Zijia, the entire family will be affected, and eventually lead to the collapse of the building.
