To say that our original master, Liu Yong, had four sons and three daughters in his life, and later became the man of the year in Shanghai.

With so many children, there are so many families. Several couples, plus the side room, the outer room, Mrs. Ru, girlfriends, and the children they born, so there are hundreds of grandchildren and grandchildren - the mighty Liu family's children and soldiers. By the time these children and grandchildren reach adulthood, the Liu family is already a wealthy family, which is admired by many people. As a result, a large number of grandchildren with comparable doors were recruited...... The marriage of wealthy families, the meandering of nepotism, and the intertwining of branches made the Liu family, which was already big enough, swell even more inexorably.

What needs to be explained here is:

In the early days, Xu Huanmo, a giant businessman in Wuzhen, had long been in contact with Liu Yong and Zhang Songxian in Nanxun and had close contacts in the business field.

Later, Liu Anjiang's son Liu Chenggan has grown up. In 1897, Liu Chenggan married Qian Dezhang, the youngest daughter of Qian Shaozhen, a family in Jiashan. And Qian Dezhang's sister Qian Deheng's husband is Xu Xiaoxia, the son of Xu Huanmo, a family in Wuzhen. Xu Xiaoxia is four years older than Liu Chenggan, and he and Liu Chenggan are brothers-in-law.

And the second lady of the Xu family, Xu Xiaoxia's sister Xu Xian'an, married Zhang Pingping, another wealthy family in Nanxun (that is, Zhang Shiming, Zhang Songxian's grandson).

Xu Guannan's daughter, who is Xu Xian'an's cousin, married Pang Zhongchun, the son of Pang Laichen, one of Nanxun's "Four Elephants".

And Qian Dezhang's uncle is Qian Nengxun, he is a Jinshi in the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu, Hanlin, and once served as the governor of Shaanxi as a political envoy. Later, he served as the prime minister of the Beiyang warlords.

And Qian Dezhang's aunt was called Qian Fulan, and she was later assigned to Zhou Jiqu (that is, Zhou Enlai's uncle). When Zhou Jiqu and Qian Fulan got married, it happened that Qian Nengxun was in Beijing to supervise the imperial history, and he went to the south to have something to do, so he went back to his hometown Huai'an to participate in the marriage of his sister Qian Fulan, and lived in Huai'an for a while. During this period, Qian Nengxun also went to Zhou's house in Horse Lane many times. At that time, Zhou Enlai was only 6 years old, and Qian Nengxun saw his intelligence and beauty, and liked it very much, and deliberately tutored Zhou Enlai's calligraphy several times, leaving a deep memory for the young Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Jiqu and Qian Nengxun are not only the relationship between Uncle Lang and his brother-in-law, they are also close friends. Under the introduction of Qian Nengxun, Zhou Jiqu went to work in Tieling, Northeast China, and got a very good job, and Zhou Jiqu also specially took Zhou Enlai, who was only 11 years old, to his side and let him come out to see the world. Zhou Enlai received a good education in the Northeast, attended the famous Yucai Middle School, and accepted new ideas here. According to the family generation, Zhou Enlai should also call Liu Chenggan his brother-in-law.

Qian Dezhang's younger brother is Qian Tai. Graduated from the University of Paris, France, he served as the chief registrar of the Beijing Local Trial Hall in the Republic of China, the director of the Treaty Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the ambassador to Spain, Belgium and Norway.

It was not until later that Liu Chenggan's son married Li Hongzhang's great-niece Li Jiaying, and Liu Chenggan's uncle's son Liu Anlu married Sheng Jingyi, the sixth lady of Sheng Huaixuan's family, a wealthy Shanghai family and former minister of posts and telecommunications.

Liu Anlu's goddaughter, the famous Peking Opera singer Meng Xiaodong, married Du Yuesheng and became Du Yuesheng's fifth aunt, and Liu Anlu's niece married Du Yuesheng's son Du Weihan.

Liu Anlu's daughter married Yan Xiaofang, a staff member of Li Hongzhang, who participated in the establishment of China's first bank, China International Commercial Bank, in Shanghai, and served as the first president, and also founded the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and many government and private enterprises, known as the "originator" of the Ningbo Gang. His son Yan Zijun is the only son of Yan Xiaofang, known as "versatile and good, quite fatherly", and is famous for running a money bank. Yan Zhiduo is the grandson of the head of the Yan family, and Liu Anlu's daughter Liu Chengyi married Yan Zhiduo as his wife. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, who was the most beautiful beauty in Shanghai during the Republic of China - Yan Renmei. That's all for later.

Liu Yong's fourth son, Liu Anbo, also known as Liu Huhan: he was a supervisor of the late Qing Dynasty, an alternate Taoist, a third-rank Qinjia, a flower feather, and a Jingde church. Perhaps because of his late birth, Liu Huhan seems to have the concept of marriage in modern people, and only married the daughter of Zhu Bingshou, a Jinshi of Tongzhi Haiyan, as his wife, and gave birth to only one son in his life, that is, Liu Chengheng.
