If life is only like the first sight, what autumn wind and sorrow paint fan.
This is Naran Rongruo's famous sentence, which is about how beautiful life would be if it were the same as when I first saw it.
Sheng Peiyu was only 10 years old when she met her cousin Shao Yunlong, none of them could have imagined that they would be involved with each other for the rest of their lives, maybe life is so wonderful, you can't think of things, there will always be a moment, love is like this, marriage is the same.
Sheng family in Shanghai Beach is a famous rich family, Sheng Peiyu's grandfather Sheng Xuanhuai is a representative of the Western school, the cause he created involves ships, telegraphs, railways, steel, banking, textiles, education and many other fields, outstanding achievements, in China's modern history has a huge impact, it can be said that the Sheng family's industry is too many to count, in 1916, when Sheng Xuanhuai died in Shanghai, his funeral was a sensation because of extreme solemnity.
Sheng Peiyu was born in the outer chamber of Sheng Xuanhuai's eldest son, Sheng Changyi, and has not been tolerated by the Sheng family, but after Sheng Changyi's death, Sheng Peiyu met her grandfather Sheng Xuanhuai, and because of her elegance and cuteness, Sheng Xuanhuai was very fond of her, and she was also raised under the knee of the main room.
When his grandfather Sheng Xuanhuai died, at his funeral, a cousin named Shao Yunlong also participated in the funeral procession, he only had a quick glance to like the beautiful and lovely Sheng Peiyu, a few years later, Shao Yunlong gradually grew into a personable and good prince, he wrote a poem to Sheng Peiyu, signed "Xunmei", named because the poem has clouds: "Peiyu Qiongju, Xunmei and Du".
At first, when Shao Xunmei pursued Sheng Peiyu, the Sheng family was opposed, because Shao Xunmei was too mercurial, and in the eyes of the Sheng family, Shao Xunmei's brother-in-law was unreliable.
But Sheng Peiyu did not listen to the advice of her family, insisting on being with Shao Xunmei, at that time she was completely immersed in the sweetness of love, anyone's opposition was invalid, and love sometimes really made people lose judgment.
Later, Sheng Peiyu persuaded her family to marry Shao Xunmei in 1927, and they held a grand wedding ceremony at the Shanghai Daguang Ballroom.
The combination of the two large families, its sensational degree can be imagined, at that time many celebrities came to give them a show, including Xu Zhimo, Lu Xiaoman and so on.
In fact, as early as before marriage, Sheng Peiyu and Shao Xunmei discussed the three chapters of the covenant law, no other women, no smoking, and no gambling money.
These terms are a thorn in Sheng Peiyu's heart, and the reason why people insist on their principles in some things is mostly due to some experiences in the past.
Although the Republic of China is an era in which old and new ideas collide with each other, in the end there are still feudal bad habits left behind, such as taking concubines, smoking cigarettes, gambling, etc., which will not only hurt the feelings of husband and wife, but also hurt the healthy growth of the entire family.
Sheng Peiyu has two relatives around him, one is to marry two concubines in a row, and after marriage, he fell in love with the brother of others, and finally made the family restless, and the other is Sheng Peiyu's aunt, because of smoking and gambling, resulting in a good Miss Qianjin becoming shabby and depressed.
The promise before marriage is just a passing cloud for Shao Xunmei, and everything becomes different after marriage, a man with romantic colors, there is no shortage of beautiful people around to follow.
This is not the most desperate thing in marriage, Shao Xunmei will also participate in gambling, he also calls himself a "gambling poet", he likes all the vain and gorgeous things, but he is not good at making money at all.
Shao Xunmei floated around all kinds of praise words, are praising him, he also enjoys this feeling of stars holding the moon, people often say that it is easy to add flowers, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, when Shao Xunmei is beautiful, there are people around them who add flowers, they first use flattery to borrow money, and then simply borrow money is too lazy to borrow, and use the means of cheating money to "take money" from Shao Xunmei's pocket.
Even some strangers would go to the door to borrow money from them, Shao Xunmei heard about the difficulties of those people, and without blinking an eye, he lent the money to others, of course, this money also "sank into the sea" in the end.
Shao Xunmei also did some business after marriage, but unfortunately he did not know how to operate, so it was basically a state of loss, and when the enterprise could not make ends meet, Sheng Peiyu had to take out his own dowry to subsidize the company's deficit.
Because of this, the outside world's comments on Shao Xunmei's style are not good, and Lu Xun once ridiculed him like this: "Shao Gongzi has a rich Yue family and a wife, and uses dowry money to do literary capital." ”
Just when the gossip outside is endless, Sheng Peiyu always stands here with her husband and supports him without hesitation, which shows that even if the women of the Republic of China awaken, they also pin their hopes on their husbands, even if she is very good.
When Shao Xunmei was ruthlessly "whipped" by the outside world, his wife Sheng Peiyu never had a single complaint, and she would even hold the child in front of her husband to make him happy, but Shao Xunmei seemed to tie a "knot" in her heart, so that the feelings between the husband and wife had an invisible rift.
It was in this "rift" that Shao Xunmei cheated, and he had an affair with a female journalist from the United States, Emily Hahn.
They met in a theater, Emily Hahn is a guest of honor of Mrs. Fritz, a famous socialite in Shanghai, who is often invited to see a play, how can such an elegant occasion be less Than Shao Xunmei?
It was here that the two of them met, and in Shao Xunmei's eyes, Emily was enthusiastic and lively, like a fire, a glass of red wine, which made people intoxicated.
In order to get close to the beauty like honey, Shao Xunmei gave Emily a Chinese name "XiangMei".
Since having Xiang Mei, Shao Xunmei did not like to go home, he even rented a house to live with Xiang Mei, perhaps Shao Xunmei at first just wanted to show her charm, Xiang Mei was only a momentary impulse, but later, there was also some emotion between them, during the War of Resistance, Shao Xunmei issued anti-Japanese content, Xiang Mei often used her American identity to cover Shao Xunmei.
In the face of her husband's empathy, what is surprising is Sheng Peiyu's attitude, she does not have a little jealousy, and often brings Xiang Meimei to the house, and the three of them get along very well.
Shao Xunmei is really not a good husband, even so, Sheng Peiyu still endured again and again, until later Shao Xunmei broke all the promises before marriage, Sheng Peiyu still did not give up, what if she could not bear it?
Five children, she can not easily abandon, once left, the victim is still an innocent child, sheng Peiyu's heart is thinking, everyone does not know, but from her "generosity", people can still feel a trace of bitterness.
That era was turbulent and full of parting, and in the late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xiang Meili prepared to leave Shanghai for Hong Kong in order to interview the three Sisters of the Song Clan.
But Shao Xunmei did not promise her this time, he was already very sorry for his wife, he could not be selfish enough to leave him again and again, this time he rejected Xiang Meimei.
Without Shao Xunmei's company, Xiang Meili left Shanghai alone, and when they left, they clinged to it, and Xiang Meili also said that she would definitely come back, but who can say clearly what happened after leaving? Later, Xiang Meimei married an American military officer, after which she had nothing to do with Shao Xunmei.
This time, Shao Xunmei's derailment was a good villain who was an oriental beauty, but later Shao Xunmei's cheating on the family's servants made Sheng Peiyu intolerable.
Even so, Sheng Peiyu did not blame her husband too much, still living with him, but this time her heart should not have many waves.
After liberation, all their properties were returned to the public, Sheng Peiyu was also assigned to work in the neighborhood committee, on May 5, 1968, Shao Xunmei died of illness in Shanghai, the glory of the past, decadence or not, after all, became a passing cloud, and on September 24, 1989, Sheng Peiyu also passed away, at the age of 84.
