For the story of cooking wine, please pay attention to Cui Lili
In 1893, in Indonesia, in the castle of Huang Zhonghan, the richest man in Asia, Huang Zhonghan, with the loud sound of babies, a group of servants were nervous and happy.
Looking at this little baby with a pink carving, Wei Mingniang's tired face lying on the bed finally showed a smile, after all, this was the child she had worked so hard to give birth to, although it was not the boy that her husband wanted, but this was a child with her bones and blood.
With his father being indonesia's richest man and his mother the number one beauty in Java's Chinatown, this little baby's future is destined to be superior.
Huang Zhonghan was slightly disappointed that his wife had not been able to give birth to an heir for himself, but he was a man who paid attention to dignity and inferiority, and since he was the daughter of a concubine, he must have the corresponding honor and glory.
Huang Zhonghan named this little baby Huilan, hoping that she would grow up with Lan Xin Hui. As Xiao Huilan grew up day by day, her appearance became more and more prominent, coupled with the vitality of heaven, it was very popular with the elders in the family.
Huang Huilan
Huang Zhonghan's love for Xiao Huilan is even simpler, more straightforward and slightly rougher. When Huang Huilan was only 3 years old, Huang Zhonghan gave his daughter an 80-carat diamond pendant to show that he valued this concubine.
The most expensive diamond that remains so far is 35.56 carats, which was auctioned for $24 million in 2008, so the value of an 80-carat diamond can be imagined.
3-year-old Xiao Huilan has a greenland diamond worth a Greenland hanging around her neck, but for Xiao Huilan's parents, this diamond is just a plaything for her precious daughter.
Later, because Huang Huilan's delicate skin was rubbed red by diamonds, Wei Mingniang took off this huge diamond and put it in a jewelry box, wanting to wait until her daughter was older and then leave it to her own disposal.
But as Huang Huilan grew up, more fresh things appeared, and she couldn't even look at this diamond anymore. This arrogant appearance of being dustless and seeing money as dung is really envious of others.
Although she grew up in the love of her parents and the accumulation of money, Huang Huilan did not have the happiness she imagined. It can be said that She also succeeded xiao He and Xiao He, and her father Huang Zhonghan's wanguan family property allowed her to enjoy everything that ordinary people could not enjoy, but also because her father was too rich, he had more room to choose women.
According to incomplete statistics, Huang Huilan's father married 18 concubines and gave birth to more than 40 children, and this is only huang Zhonghan's admission.
Huang Zhonghan's tail finger has a crooked problem, he uses this symbol as a sign to judge whether the children are biological, many children are born with straight tail fingers are not recognized by Huang Zhonghan, so how many biological children he rejects is unknown.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Huilan's tail finger was also straight when she was born, but Huang Zhonghan did not doubt the identity of her daughter, which shows that although Huang Zhonghan is careful, he still respects his original wife.
Because there are too many children, Huang Zhonghan is not too concerned at all, except for the two daughters born to the original match, and the sons born to the pet concubine, Huang Zhonghan does not care at all about whether other children look round or flat.
Huang Huilan's father, Huang Zhonghan
Because of Huang Zhonghan's attitude, Huang Huilan is also not very concerned about her brothers and sisters in the family, sometimes she walks on the street, someone behind her pats her shoulder to call her sister, she actually does not know who the other party is, only feel that the appearance is more familiar.
Unlike his father, whoever has Huang Zhonghan's favor has the qualification to enjoy glory. Among the many children, Huang Huilan is undoubtedly the most pampered pearl in the palm of Huang Zhonghan.
In Huang Huilan's memory, the Huang family is comparable to the royal family, the mansion covers an area of more than 200 acres, the palace-like house is majestic and magnificent, the horse farm is specially raised for the owners of the family to practice riding horses, and the endless lake is excavated manually.
When playing, there are bodyguards who specialize in protecting safety, at least a dozen servants come and go when eating, and each meal has a different chef specially matching meals for it, if you eat a certain family's pastries, the Huang family will also raise them at any cost.
When Huang Huilan experienced twists and turns and then recalled her childhood life, she said bluntly: "When I look back on my childhood, the way the family lived was like a dream. ”

Later, Huang Huilan's dream in Indonesia accompanied her to London, England, and her mother took her two daughters away from her husband Huang Zhonghan's warbler and swallow.
Without the exclusive love of her husband, Wei Mingniang devoted all her time to her two daughters, and from an early age paid attention to cultivating their knowledge, talents and the style of famous women.
Huang Huilan and her sister have never been to school for a day, the Huang family specially invited teachers to teach them foreign languages, art, music, dance, Huang Huilan is quite talented in language, proficient in 6 foreign languages.
Wei Mingniang is committed to cultivating her daughters into miss Qianjin with an aristocratic style, and flies to Europe with her husband's wealth to broaden the horizons of the two girls.
Wei Mingniang spends thousands of dollars, often taking her two daughters in and out of high-end occasions, watching art exhibitions, listening to concerts, and going in and out of high-end restaurants such as entering her own backyard.
Unsurprisingly, Huang Huilan and her sister are dignified, beautiful and wise, and Huang Huilan is called the most beautiful daughter of the Huang family because of her outstanding appearance and talent.
Huang Huilan took a sideways photo
Not inferior to the real princess, Huang Huilan's suitors in London are not lacking in imperial princes, nobles, chaebols and dignitaries, and any one of them is a golden bachelor, but Huang Huilan's empty valley Youlan was finally folded by Gu Weijun, the first diplomat of the Republic of China who had been married twice.
Gu Weijun first met Huang Huilan at a banquet at Huang Huilan's brother-in-law's house, and since Huang Huilan's brother-in-law and Gu Weijun were classmates, Gu Weijun naturally got the advantage of contacting Huang Huilan.
At the beginning, the modern, fashionable and romantic Huang Huilan looked down on Gu Weijun, an old-school man, she was a passionate woman, and Gu Weijun could not give her the life she wanted.
Huang Huilan is not at all moved by the dating scenes such as drinking coffee, watching the moon, watching art exhibitions, and watching movies, after all, this is her normal life, no big deal.
However, the rich Huang Huilan lacked the respected power and social status, and when Gu Weijun used a special car to take her to attend the ceremonial banquets of various countries, she enjoyed the privilege of facing the charm of the man in front of her for the first time.
Huang Huilan, Gu Weijun
Huang Huilan is not short of money, but she lacks social status, and as a diplomat, Gu Weijun has won the country an international reputation because of her rich knowledge and excellent eloquence, creating a precedent of "weak countries also have diplomacy", which is very respected at home and abroad.
And for Gu Weijun, why didn't he look at the wanguan family wealth behind Huang Huilan? Qian Quan has never separated his family, and his future needs money as a support.
Huang Huilan has seen her father's thin feelings since childhood, and vowed to find a husband who is dedicated to her, but under the care of each other, Huang Huilan still traded her marriage as a deal.
In 1920, Huang Huilan, the daughter of Indonesia's richest man, married Gu Weijun, a brilliant diplomat, and became a sensation. The bride's wedding dress and gloves are studded with sparkling diamonds, and the banquet tableware for receiving politicians from all over the world is made of pure gold, which is in line with Huang Zhonghan's usual simple and rough way, and when the pearl in the palm of the hand is married, the money can also be smashed vigorously.
Thanks to the meticulous cultivation since childhood, after marriage, Huang Huilan's aristocratic temperament, bright and generous posture, coupled with proficiency in various Chinese words, became the most effective helper of diplomat Gu Weijun.
Huang Huilan and the child
Huang Huilan said that she is China's window, through which she can show The style of China to the world. For a time, Huang Huilan's name swept across the Atlantic Ocean and then across the Pacific Ocean, shining in front of the eyes of politicians from all over the world, and everyone affectionately called her "the most beautiful pearl in the Far East".
And her good dress is even more sought after by countless women, it is said that Song Meiling is dressed according to Huang Huilan's dress style. As a weather vane for women's dress, Huang Huilan's every move has attracted much attention, and even her inability to wear socks because of skin diseases has been blindly followed by women.
From 1920 to 1940, vogue magazine in the United States selected China's "best dressed" women, and Huang Huilan deserved to be the first and became a fashion queen.
As Gu Weijun's diplomatic wife, Huang Huilan exceeded the quota to complete everything she should perform, and part of Gu Weijun's first diplomat's achievements should be written by Huang Huilan.
Women's excellence will be favored by men, and when women's excellence is better than men's, they will be jealous of men, even Gu Weijun will inevitably be this custom.
Gu Weijun said that Huang Huilan's current status is all based on him, Huang Huilan said that Gu Weijun's current status is based on the Huang family's money, and the two people who did not say love when they first got married gradually unveiled the conspiracy of each other to enter this marriage at the end of the road.
In fact, the words of both are not false, Huang Huilan did rely on the identity of the diplomat's wife to become a hot topic figure in the world, from the daughter of a rich businessman to a political figure.
And Gu Weijun did rely on the wealth of his wife's mother's family to make a smooth career, and became the prime minister of the cabinet before the age of 40. For this matter, there are Zhang Shizhao's words as evidence.
Someone once asked Zhang Shizhao whether Gu Weijun could successfully form a cabinet, and how did Zhang Shizhao answer? "With Mrs. Gu's financial resources, let alone the prime minister, even the president is not difficult." This shows how important money is to support politics.
The first on the right is Huang Huilan
Husband is not like husband, wife is not like wife, even if there are children as the maintenance of husband and wife relationship, the marriage of the two people has also gone to a dead end, do not know the way forward.
There is no way to create a road, because of the appearance of the famous woman Yan Youyun, Gu Weijun began to break free from the marriage that suffocated him. Zhang Xueliang and Huang Huilan recalled that Gu Weijun had already committed adultery with Yan Youyun, the wife of a subordinate Yang diplomat, when he was in France. There are also rumors that Yan Youyun's third child is Gu Weijun's, not her husband Yang Diplomat.
In order to maintain her marriage, Huang Huilan asked Song Meiling to transfer Yang diplomat to the Philippines and let Yan Youyun leave Paris with her husband.
However, unexpectedly, Yang Diplomat died in office in the Philippines, and Yan Youyun became a widow. Since then, Gu Weijun has been with Yan Youyun in a dignified manner, regardless of his identity as a married man.
Yan Youyun and Gu Weijun are old
Huang Huilan is such a proud woman, she will never allow her marriage to become a joke in other people,In a fit of anger, she directly found Gu Weijun, who was playing cards, and took a cup of tea directly on Gu Weijun's head, but Gu Weijun was calm and relaxed, and did not pay any attention to Huang Huilan.
Her husband's various practices that hurt her self-esteem completely made Huang Huilan die, she decided to let go of herself, and also let Go of Gu Weijun, and after being irritable, she calmly ended this 36-year marriage.
After the divorce, Gu Weijun turned around and married Yan Youyun, while Huang Huilan was alone and never married again. She settled in Manhattan with her father's inheritance, where the money she depended on was confiscated in the face of turmoil.
But this woman who has been beautiful all her life has never complained, and she has no servants, no children, no friends, and lives alone with a dog.
Huang Huilan and her beloved pet
Huang Huilan, who has been served all her life, is old but wants to start learning how to do housework and how to live, but she does not complain in the slightest, but when she completes something that seems normal and easy to others, she will be excited like a child for a long time.
She is making progress little by little every day, and the big lady who does not stick to the spring water of the ten fingers can finally live independently, how can this not make her feel full of achievement?
In her later years, she wrote a book to commemorate this life and remember her husband, and although she was abandoned by her husband, she never said in the book that he was half bad. She praised Gu Weijun's talent and unparalleled diplomatic ability in praise, saying that he was a great and outstanding diplomat.
She has always called herself the Gu family and called herself Gu Weijun's wife, but she just laughed at herself for not being suitable for Gu Weijun, and Gu Weijun was also not suitable for her husband.
Huang Huilan, Gu Weijun, Yan Youyun
A generation of celebrities, with half a life to win the husband, but lost the marriage in old age. However, she always had her own pride, disdained to be such a resentful woman, and from beginning to end, she did not mention Yan Youyun who destroyed her marriage in the book.
I don't know if Gu Weijun knows that when he and his beloved fourth wife, Yan Youyun, were laughing and feasting, on the other side of the ocean, his ex-wife was living alone until she died lonely a hundred years later.
