Chapter 142: Dragon and Phoenix Edge
The marriage of the two juniors has experienced ups and downs.
When Zhang Xueliang was 11 years old, his biological mother Zhao died in Xinmin's home, and Xueliang followed his sister Zhang Shoufang and his younger brother Zhang Xueming to Fengtian City. Although Zhang Zuolin has become a lieutenant general and division commander and has a lot of affairs in the army, every time he sees Zhang Xueliang, he can't help but think of the "phoenix daughter" in Zhengjiatun. One night in the winter of this year, Zhang Zuolin finished handling official business and said to Zhang Xueliang: "You have also grown up, and you should also have a daughter-in-law, a few years ago, when your mother was alive, I set a family affair for you, you are young, and I have never told you that the girl is from Zhengjiatun in the north." ”
When Zhang Xueliang heard that it was Zheng Jiatun, his little face turned red, and he thought, there is no suitable girl for me in such a big Fengtian City? How do you book a village girl in a country town? Zhang Zuolin didn't look at Zhang Xueliang, pulled the sticky bean bun in the brazier with his hand, and said to himself: "This girl, everything is good, that is, she is a few years older than you, she is full of beauty, and her name is good, called Fengzhi, the meaning of the phoenix flying to our house, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Xueliang muttered: "I don't know anyone well, I haven't seen it before, so there is no ...... in such a big Fengtian City."
Zhang Zuolin turned over the sticky bean buns in the brazier again. Said slowly: "I'm the one who came over, this man's and women's business, it's no different from the sticky bean bun in the brazier, the bean bun was frozen at the beginning, put it in the brazier, and slowly melted, and finally it was hot?!" People, they are all from raw to mature, after the New Year, you can go to Zhengjiatun to take a look. ”
As Zhang Xueliang grew up day by day, the "first son of Fengtian" saw the famous ladies and beauties of Fengtian, Beiping, Tianjin, and Shanghai, and became more and more dissatisfied with this village girl who was three years older than him, and insisted on not going on a blind date. But in the Zhang family, Zhang Zuolin's spit is all nails, where does Zhang Xueliang not know? Just after the Spring Festival in 1913, Zhang Xueliang, at the urging of his father, came to Zhengjiatun on a blind date with a stomach full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Xue's conscience was cold, what kind of ancient town is this, it is a desolate and dilapidated Datunzi. Everywhere it was snowy, there were few people to be seen on the road, and there were few decent houses on both sides of the street. The most conspicuous thing is the thick white snow under the feet, on which there are a few frozen donkey dung and eggs, which are blown all over the street by the whistling north wind. He didn't believe there could be "delicate girls" in this place. After playing for a few days, I returned to Fengtian, and I didn't even inquire where the gate of "Changjufeng" was opened.
Zhang Zuolin doted on Zhang Xueliang very much, because on the day his son was born, he happened to win the battle for the first time, and thought that his son was a good omen and a noble person given by God, so the matter of marriage was based on Zhang Xueliang's temperament, and he really spent a period of time.
The Yu family heard that Zhang Xueliang, who came on a blind date, went back without coming to the door, and felt greatly humiliated. At the beginning, Yu Fengzhi advocated that "high climbing will bring contempt", and she was sure to be right. Yu Fengzhi once again proposed to annul the marriage contract. Her mother persuaded her: "Xueliang is young, it's good to grow up, since this marriage is decided by the two parents, it is nothing for the child to play a little temper, as long as the parents of the Zhang family do not bring it up, we have no reason to ruin the marriage." Yu Fengzhi is a very filial and quiet girl, and when she heard her mother say this, she could only bow her head again and remain silent.
Zhang Xueliang returned to Fengtian from Zhengjiatun and was ready to be scolded. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin didn't mention Yu Fengzhi to Zhang Xueliang for a long time. In this way, Zhang Xue's conscience is a little hairy. What's going on? Did Dad agree to dissolve the engagement?
Of course not! It turned out that around 1913, the political situation was changing, he didn't care about family trivialities, and all his thoughts were used to deal with complex political affairs, and Zhang Xueliang's marriage was put on hold. Zhang Zuolin has a habit of dividing the things to be done into priorities in his mind, breaking down big goals into a number of small goals, and concentrating time and energy on solving key problems in a period of time. When several problems arise at the same time, he grasps the big and lets go of the small, and slows down. can become a later hero, there are still a few brushes.
Now that the situation in Fengtian has basically stabilized, it is time to consider Zhang Hanqing's marriage, and it has been more than three years since the death of Zhang Xueliang's biological mother Zhao, and the period of mourning has passed. However, since the original Zhang Xueliang entered the provincial capital, he has made many British and American friends, and has also come into contact with some Western ideas of "cooking and freedom", so he is very disgusted with the "parents' orders" and "matchmakers' words" in marriage. Zhang Xueliang emphasized that marriage should be based on feelings, and he has no objection to repaying kindness, but he does not understand using children's marriage events to repay kindness.
Zhang Zuolin had nothing to do, and suddenly the political situation changed, and Xiao Liuzi was taken hostage into Beijing, and now he saw the world. In the capital, this eldest son is rich in fame and fortune, and after doing many things for himself, he can't help but respect his son's ideas.
However, after returning to Feng, Xiao Liuzi has undergone tremendous changes, first of all, he is more responsible and can endure hardships, which is completely the image of a good man. Fengtiancheng's praise of "Jiangmen Huzi" made Zhang Zuolin's heart start to move restlessly again, and he firmly believed that a "phoenix" was needed to match his son. In order to appease his heart, Zhang Zuolin almost responded to his requests---- in charge of such a big matter as the Guard Brigade, even if Zhang Hanqing was glamorous, he would not ascend to the sky in one step, not to add some weight to the reason first!
The appearance of the red peony made him once again determined to have a showdown.
On a dark and windy night, Zhang Zuolin called Zhang Hanqing and said bluntly: "Little Liuzi, it's time to start a family for you, otherwise that woman's affairs will ruin you." The girl of the Yu family I told you about before, how are you thinking about it now? If I don't have any opinions, I'm going to get you married this year. ”
Zhang Hanqing has actually been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now he has completely substituted into Zhang Xueliang's body, and he is naturally able to use the standards of this era to deal with his own affairs. He is in charge of the Guard Brigade, which can be regarded as "young and promising", and it is not a good thing that there are more women around him at this time: he already has a demand after the development of red peony, but he has no time to find out whether these women are true or have a request, and he does not want to become a link of political marriage.
And Yu Fengzhi is already a good wife and mother recognized by historical facts, this is enough alone, marry a wife and marry a virtuous woman. But when it comes to talking about marriage, there is a feeling of ridicule.
Where is this, could it be that my brother, a high-achieving student who has crossed over, wants to marry a village girl? This Yu Fengzhi was also a good girl with a good wife and mother in the old society, but the matter of common language is really not something that can be summed up in one sentence. Now, Zhang Hanqing is in the military circles when he is in the limelight, and Ya does not want to drag down his development process because of marriage.
His body is only 16 years old this year, and he has only just graduated from junior high school in his later life. Although early marriage is a very normal thing in this time and space, and his psychological age has been more than 10 years longer than the current one, and it is absolutely acceptable physiologically, but the premise of a happy marriage is affection, he also graduated with a master's degree in his previous life, and he is considered a high-achieving student, and now he is unexpectedly married to a "village girl" who is 4 years older than him and completely strange, and it is really difficult to change his thinking.
Zhang Hanqing is determined to use Zhang Xueliang's good figure to read all the beauties in the world, how can he accept that a woman is being held back now? Although Aixin Jueluo Bojie once praised Yu Fengzhi for "looking very beautiful", "she was born with a very classical face, clear and delicate, like a lotus blooming in the lotus pond after the rain." That's because Pu Jie and Zhang Xueliang have a good relationship, and the flattery of human feelings can't be taken seriously. As for the history books that Yu Fengzhi "cultivated, talented, able to fill in poems and sentences, and appreciate famous paintings", this Spring and Autumn brushwork is even more debatable for Zhang Hanqing, who is proficient in history.
Although he knew that God was destined to marry Yu Fengzhi, he was always immersed in the advantages brought by his crossing. He always thought that because of his crossing, some things would change its original trajectory.
If you pay attention to "the right person", with Zhang Zuolin's rising political star, he would rather get close to Zhu Qichao, who lives in Jincheng. At least, Miss Zhu San still looks pleasing to the eye. I don't dare to say whether I am virtuous or not, but it is eye-catching! Logically speaking, Zhang Hanqing is not exclusive to Feng Zhi, but he still wants to see the real person with his own eyes before making a final decision.
But Zhang Zuolin's affectionate and righteous words still moved Zhang Hanqing: "This is what I promised to the Yu family, if Feng Zhi's father is still alive, there is still room for negotiation in this matter." Now that Feng Zhi's father is dead, they are left with widows and weak daughters, and in any way, the word 'no' can't come out of our Zhang family's mouth. The Yu family is kind to the Zhang family, can you still be regarded as a person with affection and righteousness if you don't repay your kindness? ”
Yes, I learned from the book the effectiveness of this ancient "parent's order, matchmaker's words", Zhang Hanqing is inconvenient to refute. Otherwise, not only is it possible to trap Yu Fengzhi---- if the two of them turn yellow in the end, what can she do? And he will appear to be ungrateful, after all, his current self, every move, represents the image of the Zhang family. Divorce his wife after being rich is despised by Chinese orthodoxy.
Forget it, Yu Fengzhi has always been affectionate and righteous to herself in history, after Zhang Xueliang divorced her, she also bought a piece of land in New York, saying that she would keep it for him to retire and be with him after his death. Either way, I can't owe her anything now. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing seemed to be a little moved, Zhang Zuolin struck while the iron was hot: "Your original partner in the main room must listen to me." If you don't agree to the old-fashioned marriage, after you and the daughter of the Yu family get married, you can ask your daughter-in-law to follow your mother (referring to Mrs. Lu of the stepfamily). ”
Zhang Hanqing still wants to make the last struggle: "Since it is a marriage, I will not object, but I am very busy now, and I will talk about marriage in a few years." ”
Being busy is always the best excuse. When he became an adult, his parents did not urge him to get married, and every time he prevaricated with this word, he tried it repeatedly, and Zhang Hanqing naturally used this "drag" trick.
