The bride is Soong Meiling's niece, and the groom is the business agent of the U.S. office of the Central Bank at the time. The newlyweds seem to be well-matched, but in fact their identities are very different.

In 1943, a grand wedding was held in the United States and attracted worldwide attention. The bride is the niece of Soong Meiling , and the groom is the business agent of the U.S. office of the Central Bank at that time. The newlyweds seem to be well matched, but in fact their identities are very different.

The groom was originally a poor boy, but because he was obsessed with the bride, he wanted to marry him despite his parents' objections. Therefore, the groom was repeatedly promoted by his father-in-law and packaged as a new rich man. A week after the wedding, the bride's father Kong Xiangxi assigned a plane to fly to the United States carrying eight camphor wood boxes as dowry.

Unexpectedly, the plane blew up halfway, and Kong Xiangxi and his wife sent another plane to load six boxes to deliver dowries for their children. The sky-high price of the dowry shocked people all over the country for a while. Various media rushed to report on it and the people were agitated.

At that time, the war was raging, and tens of millions of soldiers were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army on the front line, without food or clothing. Millions of peasants died of famine. The core family of the regime actually spent money like water and money for the sake of the dignity of their eldest daughter's wedding, regardless of the country and the people.

Such a wedding, which involves the blood of soldiers and civilians, is destined not to end well. So, what was the result? Today let’s talk about the story.

A lady from a famous family, three rejected officials.

Since ancient times, love has been a theme often chanted by literati and poets. It is something that everyone in the world is flocking to. It is precious and rare, poignant and legendary. The eldest lady of the Kong family, Kong Lingyi, the daughter of Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing, also has a deep attachment to romantic and perfect love.

As the eldest daughter of Confucius and a daughter of a noble family, it goes without saying that her standards for selecting her future husband were very high. This is not only because Kong Lingyi has a prominent family background, but more importantly because of his superior conditions. She has a good appearance, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, oval face, and slender figure. She is a true beauty.

After she graduated from Shanghai Hujiang University, she became even more graceful and elegant. In addition, she was extremely particular about food, drink and clothing. She was very elegant, and she was worthy of being called the daughter of a famous family. Unlike her other younger siblings, she did not choose to study abroad or get involved in government affairs. Instead, she loved literature and art.

Therefore, Kong Lingyi also has the ideological consciousness of a literati, especially love, which ordinary vulgar people cannot enter her eyes. Kong Lingyi had a close relationship with her aunt Soong Meiling since she was a child, so Soong Meiling was naturally particularly concerned about her marriage.

For this reason, Soong Meiling carefully selected among the key talents of the Kuomintang, and finally selected Chiang Kai-shek 's most favored military officer Hu Zongnan , who was young and promising and had a bright future. Song Meiling mentioned this matter to the Kong family. After hearing this, Kong Xiangxi and his wife were very satisfied with Hu Zongnan's choice of son-in-law. However, Kong Lingyi looked disdainful: "It's just reckless!"

Later, with the acquiescence of the Kong family, Hu Zongnan began to treat Kong Lingyi, the daughter of a wealthy family. The lady launched a fierce pursuit, sending flowers and making fun, and tried every means to please Kong Lingyi, but Kong Lingyi had long been accustomed to these tricks and was completely indifferent to it.

Even if Hu Zongnan wanted to climb a high branch, he was powerless and had to give up. However, Kong Xiangxi and his wife did not give up and continued to find a husband for their daughter. It happened that at this time someone introduced Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general Wei Lihuang to Kong Xiangxi and his wife.

Although Wei Lihuang was more than one round older than his daughter, he was an army general and a senior general around Chiang Kai-shek. He had a glittering career and was a perfect match. Kong Xiangxi and his wife laughed from ear to ear when they thought about having such a majestic general son-in-law in the future.

However, their daughter's attitude made them happy again. When Kong Lingyi saw Wei Lihuang's pile of personal information, she frowned deeply, pursed her lips tightly, and said with a plaintive look on her face: "This man is eighteen years older than me. Even though he is his wife, when we stand next to him, others will think that I'm the little wife!"

So, this marriage was ruined again. At this point, Kong Xiangxi and his wife also gained insight into their daughter’s first criterion for choosing a husband: a man who is handsome and has substance. By chance, Kong Xiangxi and his wife heard a name that was very popular at the time - Air Force Sun Tonggang . He was young, handsome, tall, knowledgeable and connotative.

With the help of Finance Minister Li Yuwan, Kong Xiangxi and his wife arranged for Sun Tonggang to meet their daughter. I thought that if I introduced such a "tall and mighty" person to my daughter this time, she would be happy to accept it.

Unexpectedly, my daughter not only did not agree, but also played with Sun Tonggang and Li Yuwan with the youngest daughter Kong Lingjun. Li Yuwan suffered a loss and did not dare to retaliate against the two sisters, nor did he dare to cause trouble again, after all the trouble. , none of my daughters like it.

Seeing that the eldest girl was about to become an old girl, the couple looked sad. As everyone knows, one of the reasons for her daughter's rejection is blind date. Although Kong Lingyi did not go abroad to receive Western education, she was also a new-school woman. As for her partner, she hopes to find one through free love rather than one managed by her elders.

Kong Lingyi looked at all the "imperial relatives" around him and couldn't help but feel discouraged. One day, her classmates invited her to attend the dance together, and Kong Lingyi, who was in a depressed mood, agreed. It was at this dance that he met the one she thought was his "right one."

was promoted unexpectedly and finally became a couple.

On the dance floor, a young man invited her to dance with her. Kong Lingyi looked at him and was conquered by his appearance at first sight, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and a handsome face. She stretched out her hand and followed him to the center of the dance floor, dancing gracefully.

The two of them moved quickly and gracefully, and their bodies spun and jumped gorgeously. When their eyes met, one was confused and the other was like an electric shock, gradually sinking. After the dance, the two chatted. Kong Lingyi was surprised to find that this young man named Chen Ji'en turned out to be a graduate of St. John's University.

She glanced at him unconsciously; Ji En was also deeply attracted by the temperament of this beautiful and dignified noble lady in front of her. The next day the two met to go out for fun. They talked and laughed in the coffee shop, went to the cinema to watch movies, danced in the ballroom, and did many things that couples would do.

As expected, they quickly fell in love and couldn't help themselves. The two promised to never betray each other for the rest of their lives, and agreed to defend their love to the death, regardless of hardships and dangers. Kong Lingyi proved her vow with actions.

When her parents were preparing to find her the next blind date, Kong Lingyi told her parents that she had someone she liked and that she had made a decision for life and would never change it. After hearing this, Kong Xiangxi and his wife were both happy and worried. They were happy that their daughter could finally get married, but they were worried that the other party was someone with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Kong Xiangxi sent someone to investigate Chen Ji'en carefully and came to a conclusion: "He is a poor scholar! He has no future!" That afternoon, Kong Xiangxi called his daughter to the study and told her righteously:

"I Neither your mother nor your mother agrees that you are dating Chen Ji'en. There is no career or future. You will suffer if you marry him, and it will bring shame to our Kong family." Kong Lingyi immediately became unhappy and said stubbornly: "I will only recognize him for the rest of my life. , I won’t marry anyone but him! You figure it out!”

Kong Xiangxi and his wife didn’t take it seriously, thinking that the young man’s affection was just a temporary passion, and they would get tired of it after a while. But who knows, after a long time, their daughter is still angry with them and insists on marrying that poor boy.

This makes Kong Xiangxi and his wife feel helpless. If their daughter really gets into trouble with their stubborn temper, it is really possible that she will stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of her life. But if you marry that poor boy, even if you cover your ears, you can hear others talking about the Kong family finding a poor uncle.

The Kong family is not an ordinary wealthy gentry, and they definitely cannot do such "shameless" things. Since the daughter can't be defeated, it's better to start with the prospective son-in-law. With the Kong family's family status, even Adou can be supported by the Kong family. What's more, a son-in-law is not too bad if he is placed among ordinary people.

Therefore, Kong Xiangxi did nothing in the first half year of his daughter's wedding, and was busy "gilding" his prospective son-in-law. First, he appointed or dismissed him to take general positions in politics, and when the time was right, he gradually moved him to the center of power.

On the eve of the Kong family's marriage, outsiders knew that the Kong family's son-in-law had a good background. He worked as a business agent in the US office of the central bank . He was a perfect match for the Kong family. The key was the Kong family's dowry, which made China almost Billions of people were stunned.

The scene at the beginning of the article happened next. The first batch of dowry was burned, and the Kong family immediately prepared a second batch of luxurious dowry, which can be said to be extremely luxurious. It stands to reason that a grand wedding should be about precious love, but the reality is that the more high-profile and funnier it is.

was betrayed and parted ways.

After getting married, the differences in their life concepts, thoughts and personalities gradually came to light. When the passion recedes and what is left is not romance but a pile of feathers, Kong Lingyi brings the sense of superiority that her family and social status gave her to her marriage.

She looks aloof at home just like she does outside. She talks bossy to her husband, and there is no respect due between husband and wife in her words. Chen Ji'en is a man, so he naturally has some machismo;

takes off the clothes that his father-in-law wears for him. Dressed in official uniform, he really means nothing. He has a particularly sensitive heart, but is often ridiculed and despised by his wife in a direct way. Gradually, he felt that he had lost his self-esteem as a man and his due family status, and was always being suppressed in front of his wife.

Whenever he returns home, he always feels suffocated for no reason. So, they started to quarrel. Chen Ji'en was tired of the feeling of groveling at home, so he often mingled with women to make his presence felt. There was no doubt that he cheated on her.

It didn’t take long for Kong Lingyi to find out about her husband’s cheating. She cried and yelled, but Chen Jien remained stubborn. At this time, Kong Lingyi was already pregnant. One night, Chen Jien returned home drunk. As soon as he came back, Kong Lingyi began to curse and punch and kick Chen Jien.

Chen Ji'en became angry and the two started a fierce quarrel. That night, Kong Lingyi had a miscarriage. The pain of losing her child completely awakened Kong Lingyi, who was devoted to love. In this relationship that was riddled with holes, she tried her best, but ended up covered in scars. Later, Kong Lingyi and Chen Ji'en divorced.

This was Kong Lingyi's first marriage, which ended in failure. Although the second paragraph was full of harmony and happiness, it was snatched away as a third party, which is shameful. Looking back on Kong Lingyi and Chen Ji'en's love, she patiently waited until she was twenty-eight years old to meet the handsome young man Chen Ji'en with whom she vowed to be in love.

At that time, Kong Lingyi would rather confront her parents than marry the one she loved. She thought this was love. However, she forgot to open her eyes that were dimly illuminated by the light of love, and see clearly whether the person she was chasing was a fantasy or a real person.

We spend our lives pursuing legendary love. Sometimes it is by your side, but you don’t know it if you have it, and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it. Sometimes, it is just a legend. Acknowledge the reality and accept the ordinary. This is also a dream. A true love.
