Chang Lian'an had six sons, only four of whom had stage names, from "Little Mushroom" to "Four Mushrooms". The two sons in the back, Chang Baoqing and Chang Baofeng, only learned art after liberation, and at that time they were no longer allowed to take stage names, so the "mushrooms" of the Chang family ended in Chang Baohua.
Chang Lian'an with his four "mushrooms"
Chang Baohua was born in 1930. Chang Bao Tingxing III, born in 1929, is only one year older than Chang Baohua. They were half-brothers, both of whom had crossed paths with their fathers, and what was more interesting was that they were married on the same day. The reason why Chang Lian'an put the two marriages on the same day is to put it bluntly because he wants to save some money. In the past, there was also the custom of following the portion, but the cross-talk artists were not rich, most people did not have overnight food, and they could only mean it with the portion, and they had to pour money to do the happy wine, unlike now, they made steady profits and did not lose money. If you were today, these two marriages would definitely be scored.

Xiao Tao heard that somewhere in the south, a wedding banquet was held and the so-called "singing ticket system" was held. The money-collecting accountant will read out loud the guest's name and the amount of the gift money given at the wedding site. People want face, people who go can only go to the high, compare with each other, become the norm, such a wedding is eager to do every day. As a result, some people have left, divorced, and enjoyed it.
Speaking of returning to the wedding of the third and fourth sons of the Chang family. Their wedding was held in the courtyard of the Chang family's own house. Chang Lian'an founded the Qiming Tea House in Xidan Mall in 1938 and settled his home in Beijing. Chang Lian'an bought a two-entry courtyard on Erlong Road in Xicheng. At that time, it was called "Dazhi Camp", and during the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Zhen Dazi Camp", also known as "Tarzi Camp". The "Dazhi Camp" is much more elegant than the "Tartar Camp". However, it was later renamed "Dazhi Hutong". When the Lihuayuan community was built 20 years ago, Dazhi Hutong, along with several surrounding hutongs, was demolished to pieces. This is a digression, and Xiao Tao will not say more.

On the day of their marriage, the two grooms, dressed in brand-new long robes, top hats and red flowers on their chests, went to their respective parents-in-law's house early in the morning to pick up the bride. Chang Baoting's wife is named Yu Changmin, and she is two years younger than Chang Baoting. Chang Baohua's wife is named Fu Tianzhen, and she is the same age as Chang Baohua. Yu Changmin is the daughter of a relative of Mrs. Huang Helai, who is also in the cross-talk circle. Huang Helai and his wife led Yu Changmin to the Qiming Tea House to hear a cross-talk, Chang Lian'an was very satisfied with her, and this family affair was settled. Unlike Yu Changmin, Fu Tianzhen was taken directly to Chang's house by the matchmaker, and Chang Lian'an was also very satisfied with her. These two marriages are all "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", at that time, there were not many people who could love freely, and it was good not to get married without fingering.
Yu Changmin and Fu Tianzhen both arrived at Chang's house in a palanquin. After getting out of the car, the two couples worship the heavens and the earth together, worship the high church, and then the husband and wife worship. After the ceremony, the emcee announced that it would be eaten. Most of the people who came to the wedding were cross-talk peers, including Hou Baolin and Wang Yalan. Hou Baolin did not say a day's crosstalk at the Qiming Tea House, but he had a friendship with Chang Lian'an, and the two families were neighbors. In order to attend the wedding, Wang Yalan also specially burned his head and dressed very elaborately. Unfortunately, Xiao Tao could not find her photo of that day. At that time, Hou Yaohua was only 8 months old and had not yet been weaned. Chang Baohua later said, "His mother's milk is not very good, and Hou Yaohua will eat my second sister-in-law's milk", which is what happened at that time. Chang Baohua's second sister-in-law is Chang Baolin's wife Li Xiuzhen.

After three rounds of drinking, the people who eat happy wine gradually entered a better state, but an unexpected thing happened. Someone suddenly dropped their chopsticks and rushed to the toilet outside the courtyard, at first it was only one or two people, and then more and more people, there was a long queue in front of the toilet, most of them were cross-talking, all like that, they did not forget to amuse. Teasingly, we went abroad. I asked, where did I go? Teasingly, London. He turned over a bag and said, "The inside is out, so we can take turns squatting."
It was the height of summer, and Chang Lian'an began to think that it was hot and the cold dishes were broken, but later he figured out the reason, and it turned out that the problem was the first chef he found.
Chang Baoting and Yu Changmin have seven children
Chang Lian settled down in a big business. Counting the adopted Chang Baozhen, he has a total of 13 children, the youngest Chang Baofeng has just turned 100 days old, the eldest son Chang Baokun and the second son Chang Baolin also have their own children, and the whole family has dozens of mouths pointing to the Qiming Tea House to eat. He wanted to spend less money, so he found two chefs, who were cheaper and who he used, and the result was the second chef. When the first chef learned about it, he was not happy, and when people were not paying attention, he secretly put some croton beans into the dish. Croton is a laxative, and a joyful, lively wedding feast is thus disrupted.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread far and wide. The incident was published in the Beijing (then called Beiping) newspaper the next day, and the article was accompanied by illustrations, not photos, but a cartoon. In the painting, a group of cross-talk people scratch their ears and scratch their cheeks and line up to go to the toilet, all of them are in a hurry, in order to ridicule Chang Lian'an and the cross-talk artists. Fortunately, there was no Internet at that time, otherwise the people of the whole country would have known about it.
