In 1919, the Gong stage theater under the low price of Jin Rong suddenly became more and more popular, and a new talent in Pear Garden stood out from the Gong Stage, which was Lu Lanchun.
Lu Lanchun, whose original surname is Wu, was born in 1897 in Shandong. At the age of nine, he left home with his mother and came to Shanghai. Her mother died of illness and was adopted as an adopted daughter by Zhang Shi and his wife, a translator of the Law Arrest House. Zhang Shi was An apprentice of Jin Rong, and often took his adopted daughter to the Huang Mansion to walk around. Xiao Lanchun looks very cute, well-behaved and clever, and Jin Jinrong likes to tease her, calling her "Little Hairy Tuan". "Xiao Mao Tuan" often watched plays with Zhang Shi and his wife, and Jin Rong opened many theaters under him, and she often went in and out, gradually liking opera, and sometimes even entertaining guests at banquets and singing a few paragraphs. Jin Rong saw that she was a material for learning art, and instructed Master Zhang to ask her to teach her art, and within a few years, Xiao Lanchun learned the old student drama of the early famous Wang Xiaonong and Gui Junqing. Lan Chun, who is in the middle of the fang age, stands tall, bright and bright, looks handsome and sassy, and has a sweet voice, becoming an outstanding Kunjiao Wenwu old student. At this time, Jin Rong had just set up a common stage, officially set her stage name Lu Lanchun, performed on stage, and used newspapers and other newspapers to promote and praise. Although Lu Lanchun is not well known, she won the popularity of fans as soon as she appeared on the scene.
At that time, the common stage, the precedent of opening men and women on the same stage to perform Peking Opera, caused a sensation in Shanghai Beach. He also brought out the rookie Lu Lanchun, and also invited the long-famous famous pink chrysanthemum and Hua Dan Xiao Golden Bell to form a very strong team. Jin Rong also relied on his power to dig up the screenwriters and directors of the Big Stage Theater in the British Concession and rehearsed the series "Hongbi Yuan" adapted from "Green Peony". The plot of the play is fascinating, the performance form is novel, especially the cast is extraordinary. The audience of the various theaters was attracted to it, which was really unprecedented. In the play, Lu Lanchun, who played the male protagonist Mu Hongxun, had a reputation and suddenly became a red horn that swept the beach.
The "little hairy group" grew into Lu Lanchun, and Jin Rong's mind changed. Lu Lanchun, who was cultivated under his eyes, was carefully arranged by him and should be touted, becoming a celebrity who attracted the attention of tens of millions of people today, which was like his own property, which naturally belonged to him. Jin Rong looked at Lu Lanchun, who was thirty years younger than himself. He made the decision to marry Lu as a concubine. This miscalculation caused him to taste bitter fruit for the rest of his life. Jin Rong called Zhang Shi and his wife to talk, and Huang, who had ulterior motives, deliberately said sadly: "I Huang Someone is fifty-four years old this year, has a huge family business, and is still weak under his knees, and when he thinks about it, he is sad and anxious." My friends advised me that I should ask for another room as soon as possible. After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shi were confused and thought of Huang KuaLanchun's words just now, and only then did they understand. Boss Huang is interested in Ah Chun. Zhang Shi and his wife, who were well aware, did not want to and could not oppose the old man's meaning. The two offered to let Ah Chun serve Mr. around. Jin Rong was very satisfied. Where did he know that there was another person who was also fascinated by Lu Lanchun and was pursuing it day by day. And the young Lu Lanchun, surrounded by applause flowers, is even more impossible to know that she has become a prey for people to catch.
One of the hunters was the "Huang Family Gonggong", whom she had respected since childhood, and the other was Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang Province, of the Anhui dynasty. At that time, Lu Xiaojia was very prominent with Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke, Zhang Zuolin's son Zhang Xueliang, and Duan Qirui's son Duan Hongye, and was known as the "Four Princes". Lu Xiaojia was twenty-two years old, arrogant, and had the strength to pay no attention to anything. He Fenglin, who also served as the Protector of Shanghai Songhu, was his father's subordinate, running amok on the beach, and loved to chase famous flowers, and Lu Xiaojia liked the new trend of the stage and became a regular visitor. As soon as Lu Lanchun came out, she was fascinated by her color art. In the future, as long as there is Lu's play, he will arrive every time, and he will offer flowers and invite him to dinner, trying to win Lu's favor. Every time Lu Lanchun performs, Golden Rong will give care before and after the saddle, send a car to pick up, order someone to escort, and sit behind the front desk. Jin Rong was strictly guarded against the special actions that exceeded the scene and those who had ulterior motives to approach Lu Lanchun, and Lu Xiaojia's courtesy made him very annoyed.
On this day, the stage grandly launched the famous drama "ZhentanZhou", the newspaper has already published advertisements, listed the famous corner "Lu Lanchun", and several egg-sized red characters are eye-catching. Lu Xiaojia naturally did not miss this opportunity, the play has not yet begun, he took two retinues, dressed in civilian clothes, early to the front row to take a seat. In the theater of the common stage, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the box of the flower building on the east and west sides was already filled with rich VIPs, the old friend of Jin Rong, and the shanghai business celebrity Yu Qiaqing sat down in the west side of the box, and he saw that Jin Rong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and so on were in the east flower building, and the two sides beckoned from afar, and waited for the good drama to open the stage.
At this time, Lu Lanchun's mood was chaotic, since her adoptive parents revealed the meaning of Golden Rong to her, she had been tea and dinner for several days, and she could not sleep at night. The excitement and confidence of the past before the introduction were replaced by uncertain worries. She reluctantly calmed down and entered the role according to the gong and drum. Thick oil paint and cascading costumes covered up Lu Lanchun's heart, and the audience was fascinated by her skillful skills and appearance, and received a round of applause. Golden Rong's heart was full of love and joy. Lu Gongzi tried his best in the front row, but he did not get the slightest attention from Lu Lanchun, and he could not help but feel unhappy in his heart.
Lu Lanchun, who plays Yue Fei, has a board and an eye, and does not lose his famous demeanor. I didn't want to, I didn't rest well for days, and I actually sang away in a period of crying. The people who watched the liveliness did not pay attention, and the knowledgeable ticket holders were slightly surprised, and no one in the audience was silent because of the face of Jin Rong. Lu Xiaojia, who was holding his breath in his chest, didn't care about those, and just seized the opportunity to make a fuss, "Yo one! Yo one! Well behaved, wow! Sing well!" He shouted happily, his voice was abrupt, causing chaos in the audience, and some coaxing also followed the cheers.
Where Lu Lanchun could bear this, a moment of shame and intercourse, barely finished singing a paragraph, regardless of the beat of the gong and drum, hurried back to the backstage. The play was smashed, the scene was noisy, and Jin Rong planted his face and scolded angrily: "Mother, I can't imagine that on the beach, someone would dare to make trouble on my dock!"
The old man was furious, and a group of bodyguards could not order the people who had already been in a frenzy to settle accounts with the leading troublemakers. Lu Gongzi caused trouble, and before he could think about it, he was surrounded by a group of thugs, and the two retinues were also restrained. The arrogant Lou was grabbed by the collar, slapped twice, pushed and rubbed, and beaten. Then, he was dragged to the front of Jin Rong. Jin Rong was furious and was about to scold, but a string of evil words choked back into his stomach. It turned out that he found that xiao Fusan, who was making trouble, was actually the grand duke of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang. Yu, Du and others who were gathered around also found that things were not simple, and secretly signaled that they should not do it. Jin Rong also knew that he could not offend such people, so he had to pretend not to know, and shouted hard: "Good! Feel free to walk!" Lu Xiaojia's face was already bruised and swollen, his clothes were dirty, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Excellent! Turning around with two wretched retinues, he angrily went away.
Lu and Huang were jealous, and the scandal of making a big fuss on the stage went away. People are talking about it, judging that Lu Gongzi in the "Four Great Princes" will not give up and give up, and the good drama is still to come. Sure enough, as everyone expected, Lu Xiaojia was beaten badly, and his anger was difficult to calm down, so he rushed to Hangzhou overnight to complain to his father. Although Lu Yongxiang has always been dissatisfied with his son's behavior, his son is now beaten by Jin Rong, which still arouses great anger. He thinks that Huang is just a dog of the Frenchman, and his son is no longer able to do it, nor can he be taken care of by the white man.
Lu immediately ordered his secretary to draw up a telegram and send it to He Fenglin, the envoy of the Songhu Protectorate, ordering him to quickly arrest Huang and bring him to justice. Determined to temper the majesty of Golden Glory. He Fenglin received the order from his superiors, and immediately dispatched more than twenty capable military policemen, dressed in plain clothes and concealing weapons, to the stage of the French Concession. Because it was past midnight, the stage had long been stopped and dispersed, and a group of plainclothes people pounced on the air, and in order to make a difference, they arrested a miscellaneous person.
Jin Rong was not caught, and He Fenglin could not return to Lu Yongxiang's life, but this trip had already revealed its intentions, and it was not said that the snake was frightened by the grass, and entering the concession again to arrest people would definitely cause the French to be dissatisfied. In order to be safe, He Fenglin issued an urgent document, sending a note to the French deputy consul in Shanghai, within six hours, to send Jin Rongrong to the headquarters of the Shanghai Escort Army, and if he did not do it in time, he would send armed forces into the concession to arrest the criminals. The vice-consul hurriedly found Jin Rong and asked for the reason, and everyone felt that the situation was serious. The French hoped that Huang would take the initiative to go to the headquarters of the Shanghai Army to plead guilty and then try to resolve the dispute so as not to bring conflict to the concession. Of course, Jin Rong did not agree, and did not say anything about the face of the tangtang helper, it was really lost, it must be more fierce and less auspicious. Whether to discuss or decide whether the French Concession will first send someone to negotiate the conditions. Although Jin Rong felt that this matter was tricky and had upset Lu Yongxiang, there would be trouble. However, with the support of the French master, he forgave He Fenglin for not daring to act rashly. Therefore, although Huang was uneasy in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the face, and still went back and forth in his home in the French Concession, the patrol house and the common stage as before. Lu Yongxiang did not see Huang's arrest for a few days, and feeling greatly humiliated by the mighty wind, he immediately ordered He Fenglin to send troops to the concession. At 9:00 a.m. on the same day when He Fenglin received the order, he dispatched a regiment of security troops, armed with live ammunition, and marched toward the French Concession in a mighty way, with a bluff in front of him, with an ironclad car as the guide. Suddenly there was a sensation along the street, and the vendors and pedestrians panicked and doubted, not knowing what would happen.
Since the French opened the concession in Shanghai, they regarded the concession as French territory. The Chinese Army has broken through people like this with live ammunition, which is the first time in the world. There was no way to do anything in the French Concession, and any of Fenglin's subordinates drove straight in. This force drove all the way to the area of the Gong stage, and soon captured Jin Rong and tied him to the detention center of the Longhua Protector's Embassy.
He sent troops to the concession and was surprised by the authorities of the French concession, but the people had already taken it away, and they did not create other incidents in the concession, so they did not take positive action. Compared with the indifference of the French authorities, the Yellow Gate was like a catastrophe, and Du, Zhang, and others immediately discussed rescue measures and decided to divide the troops into three ways to take action. First of all, Du Yuesheng came forward and asked Zhang Renkui, an authoritative figure of the "big" generation of the Qing gang, to ask him to mediate with Lu and He. Zhang has a high prestige in the military circles, and he has always been willing to mediate and agree with people, and it is most appropriate to find him.
According to the rules of the jianghu, Du Yuesheng first went to see Zhang's senior disciple Wu Kunshan to explain his intentions, and Wu very simply answered on behalf of Zhang Renkui, and Du was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, when Wu sent Du out, he intentionally or unintentionally said, "I heard that Boss Huang is a loophole?" When Du Yi heard this, he was greatly shocked, and did not know Wu's intentions, Wu saw that Du was nervous, and said: "Now that the years have changed, many things cannot be done according to the rules." It seems to imply that as long as Jin Rong does things properly, Zhang Renkui will give face.
Sure enough, Zhang Renkui came forward to talk to Lu and He, which played a certain role in resolving the incident, and afterwards Huang specially prepared a gift to worship Zhang, and Zhang did not pursue more on the "loophole".
At the same time as Zhang Renkui, Jin Rong's wife Lin Guisheng temporarily did not remember huang's intention to marry a concubine, and used her relationship to run to save Huang. It is said that Lin's sister is the dry daughter of He Fenglin's old mother. Lin took advantage of his proximity to Mother Lin and brought a heavy gift of Jin Guanyin and a bamboo festival arhat to visit Old Lady He, who believed in Buddhism and listened to a communication between Lin and Gan's daughter, moved his heart, promised to intercede for Jin Rong, and recognized Lin as Gan's daughter.
The other way was that Zhang Xiaolin quickly went out of the horse and personally went to Hangzhou to ask for his fellow countryman Lu Yongxiang. Lu first avoided seeing, helpless, Zhang Waited day by day, and the friends of many years of suffering could not be too ruthless, lu finally met Zhang. Zhang Xiaolin explained in every way, and assured that Lu Yongxiang also considered that in the future, the Shanghai side would not be able to offend these Green Gang forces too much, and finally finally spit out: "Since Xiao Jia's qi has come out, let Ma Pi live." Du, Zhang, and Lin Guisheng's many requests finally had a little hope, but He Fenglin delayed and refused to let people go. Du, Zhang, and others were afraid of another accident, and the old man of thousands of disciples was a big tree that could not fall. After everyone consulted, Du stepped forward and was willing to meet He Fenglin and discuss the matter in his personal capacity. Du Yuesheng, with his ability to receive people and treat things, got close to He, and talked about the tobacco and soil business that Lin and Zhang were doing, planning to set up a company, and intended to win Lu Gongzi and General He to cooperate together. The two were moved by profit and agreed to "enter the shares". In this way, in the end, He and Lu proposed conditions for Huang's release, and after Du consulted with them, it was decided to pay 100,000 silver, and Huang went to Lu to say hello to apologize. Of course, the matter of cooperation in the tobacco business is already agreed, and it is not mentioned in the conditions.
By this time, Jin Rong had been imprisoned for seven days. In order to save face, Du came up with a high trick. With the consent of He and Lu, the next night, Du Yuesheng was the host, and the guests of the Six Kingdoms Hotel were invited to a grand banquet. Huang Men Gan, He Fenglin, Lu Gongzi, Old Lady He, Lin Guisheng and other family members, as well as celebrities from all walks of life, and the old men of the Green Gang gathered together. The name is to celebrate the establishment of the company and the two families of He Huang to recognize the family. Glasses of wine intersected at the banquet, and the atmosphere was warm. He Fenglin and Lu Xiaojia made a big splash this time, and their emotions were certainly not low; Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and others rescued the old man, and they were quite proud of their achievements: Lin Guisheng and other relatives saw that Huang was unharmed, turned the danger into a disaster, and was sincerely grateful. Only Jin Rong, who was happy on the surface, felt indistinguishable in his heart, since he became the inspector general and opened the Great Xiangtang to sit on the beach, he had never had such a face-planting thing, and he knew in his heart that the prestige in the eyes of the disciples was greatly reduced.
The contradiction between Jin Rong and Lu and He was resolved, and the contradiction in the family was still tense. After this blow, Huang wanted to marry Lu Lanchun as soon as possible. Lin Guisheng resolutely opposed Huang Marrying Lu, she believed that Huang would ask for a little wife in ten rooms and eight rooms, and she would not object, that is, she was not allowed to please Lu Lanchun. Lu is the daughter of his apprentice Zhang Shi, equal to Huang's grandchild, too unorganized. Jin Rong did not want to be subject to others in this matter, did not listen to his wife's opinions, and insisted on not changing.
And Lu Lanchun, a powerless and powerless man, has been frightened by the chaos in front of him, and knows that there is no other way to go, so he has to agree to Huang, but puts forward two conditions: one is to grasp the power of household chores; the other is to marry the media, sit in the dragon and phoenix palanquin, and officially marry into the Huang family.
Lin Guisheng saw this, used the style of the jianghu female hao, simply cut off with Jin Jinrong, put forward the condition of fifty thousand yuan, divorced, Lin Guisheng and Huang jointly operated for many years, Huang's industry has its huge shares. Lin left Jinrong with her possessions and is said to have remained in Shanghai until 1981.
Lu Lanchun entered the Yellow Mansion in a flower palanquin, and Jin Rong got his wish, and he loved Lu Lanchun, who was delicate and youthful, and the old husband and young wife, Huang Shao had to accommodate everything and was everywhere. And Just as The young Lu Lanchun reluctantly married Huang, a hundred unwilling in her heart, so she entered the Huang family's door, and her mind was always restless. In order to dispel the grievances, Lu continued to perform on the co-stage and had fun with it.
Over time, Lu Lanchun's heart gradually belonged, and she fell in love with Xue Heng, the son of a rich merchant in the pigment industry. Xue Heng is a famous fan of drama, and he is particularly fond of yellow skin. Lu Lanchun's play is almost always a must. Lu had already noticed this charming young man, his eyebrows were affectionate, and there was an exchange on and off the stage. Later, it developed to date each other. In May 1923, the two took advantage of the golden glory to go to Lincheng, Shandong Province, to handle the case, and began to meet frequently. After that, he secretly chartered the suite of the Miyakoshi Hotel as a meeting place. There are no walls that do not leak air. Since then, the Huang Mansion has been almost universally known. In the end, Jin Rong could not sit idly by and sent someone to kidnap Xue Heng and beat him severely. Lu Lanchun fled from the Huang Mansion in fright, and after some twists and turns, under the threat of Jin Rong, Lu Lanchun, accompanied by Zhang Shi and his wife, returned to the Huang Mansion. To everyone's surprise, after seeing Lu, Huang only said one word: "Tomorrow at 10 a.m., meet at the law firm."
Lu Lanchun and Zhang Shi and his wife looked at Huang's back in shock, and this invincible overlord went upstairs with heavy footsteps. Jin Rong relied on his power to occupy Lu Lanchun's body, but he could not occupy her heart. If so, why force it? Huang reluctantly made the decision to divorce. But in order to maintain the last bit of dignity in the marriage, he managed to arrange the scene in his own home, and the breakup was announced by himself.
Lu Lanchun finally gained her freedom, married Xue Heng, and lived her own life. But she also ruined the art she loved. Jin Rong put forward a condition that she would not be allowed to appear on the stage again. After Jin Rong and Lu Lanchun broke up, they did not remarry, perhaps this marriage hit him too hard. For a woman, he was kidnapped, suffered seven days of imprisonment, as a helper, he fell in front of the world, and in the end he flew eggs, and he did not want to fall on women anymore. It is said that in the later period, Huang once had a lover" "Seventh Aunt", who also tried to help him straighten out, but finally failed. Exactly, I don't know.
