Because whoever steals money first, he doesn't care how he left her. There is a saying in Shanxi that "Mongolian businessmen have fewer children, but grass widows have more wives". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government relaxed the restrictions on Mongolian businessmen, and some employees of Mongolian businessmen took concubines and lived with prostitutes in their places of business. During Guangxu period, there was a shopkeeper in Dashengkui, Guihua City, who was over 60 years old, but married a girl of 16 years old as a concubine. When he got married, a couplet said, "Twenty-eight beauties are seven or nine lang, and peony flowers are pear flowers." In Zhangjiakou, Cheng Guihua, Kulun, Duolun Nuo 'er and other towns, it is not uncommon for Shanxi merchants to live with Mongolian women, from shopkeepers to waiters.
Ji Yun, a Qing Dynasty man, recorded many cases of men and women caused by Shanxi merchants' going out all the year round in Notes of Yuewei Caotang. For example, Li Jia, a native of A Jin, went out to do business after marriage. Because he took his surname, he moved to his hometown Jin Yi's house to be an adopted son. There was no trace of angel lee at home, so it was passed down as death. After Li Jia's parents died of illness, Li Jia's wife was helpless and sent meals to her mother's uncle's house. His uncle went out to do business with his family, and merchants sailed north and south. At the age of 30, he did not settle down. Li Jiajiu was not allowed to write home for a long time, and he died as his wife. Jin Yimou married a woman .. His wife's uncle lives in Tianjin, and it's not a long-term solution to miss her. He has to marry a Shanxi native and can go back to her later. I'm afraid people will think that they don't have a mother's home because they call themselves daughters. Many people are matchmakers, and that's settled. After eight years of marriage, I am too suspicious to ask. Whispering in the clouds is the beginning. A was angry with the last evidence and married abruptly, which was insulting and beating. The whole family started up, and Jin Yi called through the window, "What is the evidence of your remarriage? Being displaced and married for eight years can be forgiven. " A No answer, lovers are as good as ever, second time around. Another Zhang Yike, who took his wife to eat outside the Great Wall, was hired by western businessmen, slept with his wife and spent money like water. A few years later, he returned to the first subject and delivered meals to his family. A wife was so annoying that she resigned. One of the subjects said, "It's just that it's unlucky that people don't have this day." Strong. One wife drives away western businessmen one day, and the other is angry. The wife also retorted: "If he doesn't love me, he will sleep with me. I don't love him, and I am also profitable. " "I have nothing to lose when I have money and color; Rich and powerful, rich and powerful, he can't be funded by me. If you don't send it, what is left? " One of the subjects was angry, but he killed his wife with a knife. He gave the western businessman one hundred gold first, and then surrendered to prison. "Another person also went out with his wife, who died of illness and was unable to return, begging. Suddenly, a western businessman came to the boss and gave him 50 gold. Blame it for being too thick, but fix it. Western businessmen whispered, "My wife and I slept the most. I don't know. "My daughter-in-law died, and she entrusted me personally. I can't bear to lose to the deceased, so I am a native. " In a rage, the man hit out at the court.
In local chronicles, there are also many tragic cases in which the wives of Shanxi merchants struggled for their whole lives because their husbands went out to do business. For example, the wife of Han Bo, a Ming Dynasty man, was a doctor who was dying in Huai and was too anxious to live. Sister-in-law comforted and said, Sister-in-law, don't think that there is no heir. If I have a boy, I will be the queen. Xue shed tears to give thanks, and finally died alone. Liu Yongzhen, the wife of Wang Yongzhen in Xiangfen County in Qing Dynasty, did business in Jiangnan and died in Suzhou. When Liu was twenty years old, he heard that there were few relatives in the funeral room. Zi Yishun is only one year old and lives on a loom. The son is a little older and teaches reading. Liu Shoujie died of illness in the twenty-seventh year. Chen Wanchun's wife in Linfen married Wan Chun at the age of 14, and went abroad for business at the age of 17, and she did not know where to go. Aunt Liu Wei Weng's work is extremely hard. Linfen's wife, Zhang Yingong, died in the line of duty, and her husband was only 25 years old. She came home sadly and cried day and night. Soliton died when he was three years old, and he died when he took his nephew as his son. A hard life is like a day. Tan Liang's wife Shi Linian is only 18 years old. Her husband died in Jia, born in February, determined to observe the festival. Tan tried to plant a frame-up in court, and her husband died, and the women's textile did not leave her position. Or ask the reason: this tree was planted by my husband. Seeing it is just like seeing my husband. After the establishment of Fugu, he was 85 years old. Her husband planted a large number of Sophora japonica trees, which the villagers called Sophora japonica. Jia, the wife of Hou Maogong in Jiexiu County, got married in August. Four years later, she died in the clouds. I was still drinking when I came back, so I tried to save her. Sun Qifu's wife Wang, a native of Linfen County, went to Beijing to do business and died. Twenty-three years old, Ziyi is two years old, and her family is poor and helpless. She is determined to keep a festival, live a life of needles and help orphans. She died at the age of thirty-one. Shi Cheng, the wife of Tang Yonghuai in Jishan County, was engaged in trade with Yong Kui in Xilong. When she heard a lot of news, her life hung by a thread. She was determined to write poetry, but it was not easy for her to keep it up all her life. She was 76 years old. Cui Shi in Yicheng, the wife of Zhang Baocheng, is 29 years old, and she went to the West with her husband. She died on the road. Hearing that she had suffered a lot, she cried every day and vowed not to live. On the 27th, she found a place to hang herself. Shi's wife, who entered Qin Xingjia on the 40th day after marriage, died in Liangzhou a few days later, but Shi vowed not to change her mind and suffered for 40 years. Yicheng, the wife of Niu Yinglong, died in Qin, and her oath is no longer appropriate. Wenxixue's wife, Jacky Cheung's husband, was doing business in Henan, so she died abroad. Her son Pei Xiufu was four years old, and his family disturbed him. Wang Zaiyi, his wife, married Jia Shandong. She died of illness when she was infected. At the age of nineteen, when she returned to Li, she was heartbroken. Before the funeral, she hanged herself in front of the spirit. Fan's wife, Wang, a native of Xiaxian County, died in a foreign country after doing business for five years. She is 22 years old, and she encourages her aunt to change her mind and realize her ambition. She died in 29.
Shanxi merchants take virtue as the head in choosing wives, so that they can concentrate on going out to do business. For example, Qiao Guifa, the ancestor of Qiao's wealthy businessman in Qixian County, was in his thirties when he made his fortune in business in Baotou. If it is easy for him to get married in Baotou, he can choose any girl in Baotou. But he thought: if no one can go to sacrifice after the ancestors got married in Baotou, it is better to find a wife in their hometown. Secondly, considering that he is away all the year round, he needs to find a filial and virtuous wife to help him with the housework. After Qiao Guifa became rich, it happened that a young widow Cheng lived in his hometown with a little boy. It turns out that this woman had some love affairs with Qiao Guifa when she was young. After living in Joe's hometown, she often goes to Joe's ancestral grave to offer sacrifices, which is the reward for borrowing housing. As soon as Qiao Guifa saw this woman, she thought that if she married a lovely girl, she would not only hire someone to wait on her, but also worry that the money she earned would be squandered by her. If you marry this little widow, none of these problems will exist. So he decided to marry Cheng. As a result, the rich businessman married a little widow. It can be seen that Qiao Guifa is pragmatic and shrewd on the issue of marriage.
Of course, generally speaking, wealthy businessmen and rich families in Shanxi merchants also consider matchmaking. For example, after the Qiao family in Qixian became a rich family, many of his children married other rich families. Dai Nuo's wife Cao Shi is a rich woman, so Jingyan appointed Zhao as Taigu Tongzhi Zhao's mistress. Joe's wife is a rich woman, Qiao Yingkui's wife is the younger sister of the shopkeeper of Daejeon Bank, Joe's second wife is Chang's daughter, Qiao Yinghuang's wife Ma Jianduo, Qiao Yinghuan's wife Chang's daughter, Joe's wife is Yan, manager of Daejeon Bank, and Qiao Yingnan's wife Cao Shi is the daughter of Cao Shi, a wealthy businessman in Taigu. Joe's daughter also married a wealthy businessman. For example, Joe is an instrument girl, and both of them are married to Yuci businessman Chang; Jingyan married Taigu businessman Cao Shi; Jing Kan married Zhao Tieshan, a Yuci businessman and calligrapher.
However, the marriages of these wealthy businessmen are unhappy because of money. For example, Qiao Yuan of Qixian married Cheng and died during childbirth. After marrying Yang, she gave birth to a healthy child, and Yang died soon. On one occasion, Xia Ying met Liu Juxiu in Tianjin. Liu, a native of Tianjin, was a student of Union Medical College and a guardian. In Tianjin, he was admitted to the hospital because of a minor illness, and Liu practiced in the ward. They met, got married, gave birth to a son and lived together for five years. Because of personality differences, there were quarrels from time to time, and the cracks became bigger and bigger, and finally they divorced. Xia Ying is in pain. She committed suicide by jumping off a building, resulting in a fracture of the condyle and eventually lameness. On February 28th, 10, 17 and 18 issues of the Republic of China Pictorial published a complicated letter, which revealed the inside story of their marriage with Liu: Joe and Liu were introduced by 19 17,/kloc-0. Liu's lover is Lin, a master of MIT. The newspaper also published English correspondence between Liu Ling. But after the divorce, Liu did not marry Lin, but married a doctor in Beijing. The article pointed out: "Ms. Liu didn't love Joe at all. It was her parents who got their hands on her heart with property, so she wronged the situation." So the pastor of the church went to great lengths for the property! The Lord turned into a white party for property! Religious women have gone to hell for property! Honest people suffer for property! Is real estate a good thing? Or a bad thing? Still won't use the property? The author of this article concludes: "Parents' property is not a tool to enjoy happiness, but a way to bear disasters. People with lofty ideals should not accept their parents' inheritance, and sensible parents should not pass it on to their children. "
It seems that Shanxi businessmen go out for profit all the year round, which brings many problems to marriage. Especially after getting rich in business, marriage is not necessarily happy because of wealth.
