Yuan is the second son of Yuan Shikai, and his biological mother is his third aunt, Mrs. Jin.
After Yuan was born, Yuan Shikai adopted his sister Shen Shi because she had no children.
At that time, Yuan Shikai was recommended by Li Hongzhang, and his career rose rapidly, which was the time to make great achievements.
Born in such an official family, Yuan lived a carefree life. Because of his handsome appearance and unusual intelligence, he is more and more favored by Yuan's elders. Shen Shi, in particular, was afraid of being wronged and gave him whatever he wanted.
Yuan is fun, not good at reading, but has the ability to "never forget". Although I only spent three minutes reading, I didn't practice my handwriting seriously according to the teacher's requirements. However, whether writing or writing, he has a very high talent, which is amazing to read.
Yuan Shikai wanted to train Yuan Kewen, so he asked him to write official documents for himself and sometimes took him to the palace to familiarize himself with officialdom.
When Yuan Kewen 15 years old, Yuan Shikai was already a favorite of Cixi.
On one occasion, Yuan Shikai took Yuan Yun for her birthday.
When Cixi first met Yuan, she saw that he was not only charming, but also had an extraordinary talk, so she told Yuan Shikai that she wanted to marry her niece to Yuan.
Supposedly, it is a great honor to be able to climb relatives with Cixi.
Yuan Shikai is thoughtful and worried that if this marriage is promoted, Cixi will put eyeliner around her, which is extremely unfavorable to herself. Therefore, he lied that Yuan had an engagement and politely declined Cixi's kindness.
Therefore, although Yuan Kewen is an illegitimate child, Yuan Shikai still has high hopes for him.
After Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China, Yuan Dingke, the eldest son, always wanted to be emperor, so he strongly encouraged Yuan Shikai to restore the throne.
Although Yuan is a little smarter, he is definitely not as smart as Yuan Youcai. In addition, he once limped on a horse and looked worse than Yuan. Therefore, I am very afraid of Yuan.
Yuan Kewen disapproves of Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne. Seeing that he was afraid of him everywhere, Yuan simply went to Shanghai.
Without the control of his family, Yuan lived a happy life in Shanghai. He made many friends, spent the night in a brothel, and spent money as the eldest brother of green gang.
Being a gangster in Yuan is different from others. He is very gentle when others kill him. When someone asked him to do something, he also reached out to help.
On one occasion, Yuan, the owner of a theater, often went to see him and said that there were hooligans making trouble and threatened to blow up the theater.
Without further ado, Yuan followed him to the theatre.
When the other party saw Yuan coming to the meeting alone, they could not help admiring his bravery. Once again, I heard that he was Mr. Yuan. I left without saying anything.
Yuan also likes to sing Kunqu opera and is very familiar with Cheng, the owner of the pear garden. He often plays Quyi together and sometimes makes a guest appearance on the stage.
After Yuan Shikai's death, Yuan Kewen became more addicted to stage performances. Once he planned to perform in Xinmin Theatre, and the news reached Yuan Er. Yuan thought what he did was an insult to his family, so he called the police chief Xue Songping and asked him to arrest Yuan.
Xue Songping had to go to the theater to find Yuan. Unexpectedly, the third floor and the third floor outside the theater are green gang's disciples.
It turned out that Yuan was afraid of ruining his play addiction when he heard about it, and told green gang's disciples to guard the front and rear doors and not let Xue Songping in.
After the play, Xue Songping managed to find the backstage and persuaded Yuan happily.
When removing makeup, Yuan said to Xue Songping, OK, I won't sing after tomorrow.
After Yuan Shikai's death, Yuan Wending also received more than 100,000 silver dollars, and with some words and paintings, life was fairly easy. But he spends money like water, doesn't know how to make a living, and is generous.
The Japanese also asked him to be an official. He felt humiliated and left angrily, ignoring others at all.
The only thing Yuan Kewen inherited from Yuan Shikai was lewdness.
Yuan slept outside when he was a teenager. Because the elders spoil him, as long as he doesn't make trouble, he will turn a blind eye and leave him alone.
Yuan's wife was born in an official family. What is commendable is that she not only knows pen and ink, but also knows melody, and her calligraphy is beautiful. Plus she is dignified and beautiful, so Yuan is still very satisfied with her.
But not long after marriage, Yuan stayed at home in restaurants and brothels.
Liu Meizhen had a quarrel with him about it. Yuan didn't argue with her, but just smiled. But I didn't stay at home for long and went out again.
Liu Meizhen had no choice but to complain to Yuan Shikai. But Yuan Shikai said that capable men are not three wives and four concubines. From then on, I can only turn a blind eye to Yuan's peach love affair, and never dare to ask again.
Who knows, this hobby finally killed Yuan.
According to Yuan's My Second Brother Yuan, in 193 1 year, Yuan suffered from scarlet fever and was relieved under the care of his family. In order to relieve boredom, Yuan went to a brothel again. As a result, he came back with a high fever and died soon.
After Yuan died, the family didn't even have the money to bury him. Finally, green gang's disciples pooled their money to hold a funeral for him.
