I wrote novels in the Republic of China

Chapter 55 Arranged Marriage

"It's pretty good to write this part. Now let's just take a look." Hong Jiaoxiang encouraged Sang Jingyun with a smile.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the country who can read and write. Miss Sang Jingyun is only sixteen years old and can write the whole text of Xiangbu Xucheng, which has surpassed most people in the world.

Sang Jingyun also smiled.

Indeed, it is more ordinary to read: there is also popular literature.

During the Republic of China period, the most famous writer was Zhang Henshui. Mr. Lao She once said: "In China, Zhang Henshui is the only writer known to all, young and old."

Sang Jingyun did not stay in the concession for long. After talking with Hong Jiaoxiang, he left the concession and returned to Shanghai County.

Hong Jiaoxiang watched Sang Jingyun leave, thinking that his work for the day was completed, he put the manuscripts in a basket and went to find Fei Yexu.

Only when Daowang arrived at Nancheng Bookstore later, he found Fei Yexuhong was there.

Fei Yexu was on duty last night, and Hong Yong is on duty today.

When Hong Jiaoxiang learned about this, he took a detour to Fei Yexu's residence.

Fei Yexu didn't return home until late last night, so he must have slept a little later, but he should have woken up by now.

There was also a coincidence. As soon as Hong Jiaoxiang arrived at Fei Yexu's house, he met someone who was out buying food: Fei Yexu.

"You sent the manuscript later?" Fei Yexu's eyes lit up when he saw Hong Jiaoxiang.

Hong Jiaoxiang said: "Yes, Jin Hou sent the manuscript, "The Two-Faced Demon Lord" has been completed, and Sister Sang Xu also gave Jin the beginning of a new book."

Hong Jiaoxiang was very happy to hear this: "Let's go buy some food, and then go back to the Jin family and read books together."

"The Two-Faced Demon Lord" has actually been completed. Now that it is written, I am eager to know the new story: the ending.

Hong Jiaoxiang had not yet had lunch, but he readily agreed to Fei Yesu's proposal.

The two went to buy wedding gifts together, and then went to Hongjiaoxiang's house.

Let’s read “The Two-Faced Demon” first.

"The Two-Faced Demon Lord": At the end, Master Zhang Si led the "Zhengdan" and the masters of the Demon Cult to start a battle at the wedding field.

When both sides were suffering losses, Meng Youdai took advantage of the situation by marrying a new fisherman.

From then on, the world was at peace.

Hong Jiaoxiang sighed: "The ending of Fei Xin is really beyond my expectations."

Fei Ye Xu said: "If I didn't know you would deceive me, it would be hard for me to believe Fei Bucheng. You Xiangxin is more than ten years old: in what you wrote. Meng You cares about the people, which is completely different from some of the people in power nowadays who only care about their own profits."

"That's true." Hong Jiaoxiang said.

Few writers pay attention to the hardships of the lower-class people, nor do they write about martial arts novels, which are all about fighting and killing among masters.

But Meng You's biggest wish is to control and renovate the martial arts world, so that the martial artists will not oppress the common people and let the common people live happily.

It’s an eye-opener, it seems like there is a new young man coming after Hong Xiang.

The two of them were in a trance for a long time, and after thinking about it, they were shocked.

But Fei also said: "At first, when the editor-in-chief of the Xinhua News Agency, Jin Lie, wrote Fei's book, he did not fully believe Hong's writing. But now, Hong has already convinced Hong that after the Fei Xin novel is published, the outside world will think the same as Fei."

Hong Jiaoxiang also felt the same way.

Fei Yexu said: "It's strange that Hong saw Sister Sang Xu rejected Jin, Jin came to Hong's marriage scene, and Fei was in the marriage scene. Sister Sang Xu: What's the new book?"

Hong Jiaoxiang said: "Jingcheng's new book writes about love:."

"Why does Jing Hong continue to write martial arts novels? Now, Jing has just accumulated a lot of readers who read martial arts novels. If Hong will spend some readers to maintain it, it will be a pity."

Hong Jiaoxiang also felt it was a pity, but there was a but: "The Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School: Xu Cheng is more popular than the martial arts Xu Cheng."

Fei Ye Xu said: "Indeed, but the love story is written by Xu Cheng, Jin Hong likes to read. The happy revenge is what men should read."

While they were talking, they opened the manuscript of "True or False Daughter".

Not long after the wedding, Fei Yexu said: "Hong Jiaoxiang, Fei Yexu is here to write a love story?!"

Hong Jiaoxiang also took a deep breath.

Why does Sang Jingyun feel that Fei Youxiang's love story is complete?
Fei's book begins with: Boss Jin goes to the countryside, but soon Jin Xuhua appears.

The writers immediately realized that the protagonist of the story was Kanaoka.

And Jin Xuhua: Her words and actions are really shocking!
Although there have been many calls for sexual liberation since the late Qing Dynasty, the progress has not been smooth.

For example, foot binding. Even though it had been banned long ago, some people in some remote areas still bind their feet because they feel that if they bind their feet, they will get married off.

Shanghai is considered good, but only young people do not suffer any punishment. Those who are older all have bound feet, such as Hong's sister-in-law, who has double-threaded feet.

They all wanted to free their feet, but after years of foot binding, the bones of their feet had already been broken and deformed by the time they reached adulthood. Even if they bound their feet again, the deformed feet would not return to their normal shape.

Nowadays, Western medicine hospitals have special foot release surgeries that can separate the deformed foot bones from the flesh, and then straighten the deformed foot bones to piece together a normal foot.

But it takes more than one operation to recover all the toes, so multiple operations are needed to restore the foot. Because of the current limited medical level and the fact that antibiotics have not yet been developed, the operation is also very risky. If there is an infection during the operation, you may lose your life.

Therefore, there are very few new surgeries.

Of course, it is better to bind your feet at the beginning, or when they are still growing, and it is hoped that they will return to normal after unbinding.

Foot binding was banned repeatedly, and arranged marriages became more popular.

At this time, many couples have never met before getting married.

If we were ordinary peasants, very poor, and seeking more than just to fill their stomachs, we could still get by.

But if Xiangxin has spiritual pursuits, then if Wang and Xiangxin have never met and they get married, the writing will probably be painful.

Hong Jiaoxiang wants to get married, partly because he sees his classmates happily getting married.

My classmate Hong wanted to get married blindly, but his parents forced him to do so again and again, and with the help of a matchmaker, Fang finally learned to read and write, so he agreed to the marriage.

After marriage, I realized that Fang Hong was illiterate and we couldn't communicate at all.

The pain of writing was so great that I simply left home and headed north.

Writing is painful, but will it be difficult to be happy if you marry?
After she got married, she was loved by her husband. Naturally, her husband's parents also loved her. But what happened next?

Fei Yang: Marriage is always harmful.

And there are many people around me who have never seen their other half before marriage.

Some people are fine after marriage, but there are also many people who are not at all happy after marriage.

Those men can marry two or three wives, but what about the rest?

They were powerless to resist:.

Yes, after becoming married, there is indeed a second reincarnation, but unfortunately, we still have the choice: Hong Youjing is free to reincarnate!

In this world, how many parents would push their children into the hot kang?

But no one thinks that Hong is right. They think that marriage should be arranged by parents and matchmakers.

It looks like Hong Jiaoxiang Hong Fei.

The writing feels that the engagement is arranged when the man is young: this behavior has feudal dregs.

Xie Jue believes that Xiangsheng should choose the one to accompany him, while Hong You lets his parents choose later.

But the writing style is the same: the idea is in line with the current mainstream.

It takes time. Everyone feels that their parents gave birth to and raised their children, so they should listen to their parents.

Even when parents are still married and have children, they will still feel that it is wrong.

At this moment, Hong Jiaoxiang read the free version of "True and False Daughter" and felt the resonance of marriage.

Jin Xuhuacheng: "You let Jin marry, so Jin must marry? Jin can only have a new object, Hong Youxiang a new life: just?" Jing Youcheng: "You gave birth to Jin, so you want to suck Jin's blood and eat Jin's flesh? Then Jin would rather you Hong gave birth to Jin!"

Jing Huancheng: "You are worthy of being Jin Hong's parents, so you are worthy of being Jin Hong's parents? Jin Hong has been doing a lot of work since he was a child. Jin Hong owes you!"

……

Jin Xuhua: Xiangsheng, life was very difficult. Jinghong was loved by his adoptive parents. He had to do housework every day and was beaten from time to time.

The scene was already full of life, so the shocking news came from the heart: scream.

Hong Jiaoxiang can understand Jing's ideas.

Jing's adoptive parents Hong Guo gave Jingxiang food to eat, and raised Jing as carefully as raising chickens and ducks at home, but treated Jing as a livestock and an object that could be exchanged for money.

Fei Xiangqie, after Hong Jiaoxiang saw it, there was a mistake:.

But what about the surrounding areas?
Everyone in the village felt that Jin Xuhua's parents were blessed to have not drowned.

We think that after Jin Xuhua becomes a fool, she will have a new and good home.

Even Boss Jin, after knowing that Jin Xuhua had her own son, still felt that Jin Xuhua was rebellious and had been ruined by her countryman, and needed to be properly educated.

As Hong Jiaoxiang read on, he felt his hair stand on end.

Jin Xuhua seemed to be in a cage, but Jing's shouting and Hong allowed Jing to break free from the cage.

Fei Xin is the protagonist, and Hong Xiang is also like:.

Hong Jiaoxiang sighed and said at last: "I don't know how the story will turn out. I hope Jin Xuhua, Hong, and Jin Yueji can break through Fei Xiang's plan."

The poem has very few words and ends abruptly when it describes Jin Xuhua returning to the Jin family and changing her name to Jin Yueji.

Fei Yexu said: "After watching "The Two-Faced Demon King", Jin Jing is about to start watching "The True and False Daughter". It seems that there is no Hong You in the world, and there are no Hong You in the world. How can there be no Hong You in the world? Since Jin Dad married Jin's stepmother, he has treated Jin as if she were dead. Jin's stepmother even treats Jin like a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh. She does disgusting things to frame Jin all day long. When Jin confronts Jing, Jin Dad will also accuse her of being a new Hong Xiao. Jin's marriage is up to us, and Jin really stays at home to stay with Hong."

The two sighed and wanted to drink, but there was nothing on hand.

Hong Jiaoxiang said: "Jin, go back first, and send the manuscript to the Xinxucheng Newspaper."

Fei Yexu nodded and took a photo.

After Hong Jiaoxiang left, he packed up his things and went to Nancheng Bookstore, intending to wait for his editor-in-chief to read Yun Jing's "Xu Cheng" and then send it to the "New Xu Cheng Newspaper".

In the editorial office of Xinxucheng Newspaper, Huang Peicheng was drinking tea with his friend Jiuxiangdan.

Huang Peicheng: Youxiang was drinking while Xiang was scolding Zaier Hongxiao. Youxiang wrote that Zaier should be sent to school, and that Zaier would learn bad things while studying.

"Jin carefully selected a good husband for Jing, but Jing was willing to marry him, just because the man looked ugly and old... Can looks be used to make a living?" Huang Peicheng's friend was very understanding.

Before Huang Peicheng could finish his words, the friend started chattering again.

Huang Peicheng was tired of the marriage, so he spent some time on it and sent it away.

Just as Xiang was leaving, Huang Peicheng said: "I will go over to ask about the situation after my uncle Xu arrives."

Huang Peicheng said: "Writing that Zi Xin'er wanted to climb up to the family, and rushed to send Zai'er to be his second wife, and he also had to beautify Xiangfan!"

Huang Peicheng's uncle said: "It is written in the exchange of gold, and Jin Yehong is willing to marry a new bride who is old and ugly:? I have never seen it written that when marrying a concubine: choose a tall one and look ugly:."

Huang Peicheng smiled at his marriage, and Hong Zaicheng talked.

If the girl Xinxu is mentioned in the book, she will definitely get married. After all, she is good-looking and can make a living.

When you get married, write bad things about your own father in front of the new and old men, so that the new and old men will not cooperate with your father and expose your father's good deeds.

After that, I can use the money from the new and old men to start a newspaper, and make friends with them...

Hong Fei could only succeed in front of his uncle Xu, while Huang Pei could only succeed after he did the things he did for his son.

The two became friends soon after, and Fei was ready to get married.

Huang Peicheng: Uncle Xu was overjoyed when he saw Fei Yexu.

As I was writing this today, I was staying in the editorial office of the Xinxucheng Newspaper, and I saw Mr. Yun Jing's update for the first time.

When Huang Peicheng saw Fei Yexu, he immediately asked his uncle Xu to go and make tea. After greeting him warmly, he asked Fei about the manuscript and the situation.

"'The Two-Faced Demon King' has been completed, and it ends with Jin Fei giving it away for the first time." Fei Yexu said.

Huang Peicheng was surprised when he heard this: "Is it just a matter of writing about marriage? Has Mr. Yunjing written a new book?"

While writing Xiangzhi, I had been reading the manuscript and had long realized that the book was about to end.

But I didn’t expect it to be written so quickly.

After the free book is finished, "Xinxucheng Newspaper": Will the sales volume decrease?

Fei Yexu said: "After finishing the marriage, Mr. Yunjing also asked Jin to bring the manuscript of the new book after the marriage."

Huang Peicheng was overjoyed when he learned that there was a new book: "Mr. Yunjing is really hardworking. He wrote a new book: What's it about?"

Fei Yexudan: "Youxiangbu writes about love: Xucheng."

Huang Peicheng was very happy: "The love story is very good! It is definitely the favorite of readers."

Write knowing readers' preferences, now the best-selling:, there is the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School: Xucheng.

If Mr. Yunjing writes a sample of Xiangbu, it will definitely be welcomed.

Compared to the completed "The Two-Faced Demon Lord", Huang Peicheng pays more attention to Yun Jing: Xin Xucheng.

After getting the two manuscripts, I wrote "The Two-Faced Demon Lord" and gave the manuscript to my uncle, and then I opened "The True and False Daughter" and finished it.

After reading the wedding notes, Huang Peicheng raised the same question as Fei Yexuxiang: "Fei has written about love: Xucheng?"

The book begins with opposition to arranged marriages. In just 10,000 words, it describes the collision between old and new ideas on marriage, but no one knows what will be written later.

It's written like this: new style of writing is written, and it's possible to write new love emotions.

Fei Yexu saw Huang Peicheng's expression and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Sang Jingyun and Sang Jingying were on their way home.

Sang Jingying asked Sang Jingyun: "Sister, do you think the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are right?"

Sang Jingyun said decisively: "Of course there is Hong right."

Arranged marriages cause many tragedies.

Unfortunately, this happens all the time.

In the 21st century, many people were still forced to get married by their parents when they got married. However, nowadays, it is even more common that people are forced to get married in a new situation.

For example, Zhang Henshui wrote that when he was eighteen years old, his mother called him back home to get married.

It was written that Hong was willing to marry Xiang, whom he had never met before. He asked to meet Xiang. After meeting Xiang, he was very satisfied and agreed to get married. However, on the wedding night, Xiang appeared in the bridal chamber, but Hong had never seen Xiang before.

Write about being deceived into marriage.

Faced with such a situation, men are better off: they can marry another woman in the future, what about the next one?
Many children leave home with trepidation and enter a completely unfamiliar new environment: a family that is still loved by their husbands. How painful must that be?

Fei Xiangqie, You Hong’s version:.

But if you want to change Fei Xiangqi, there is a long process.

Only after receiving education, being free from so many rules and regulations, and seeing the same rights as men, will they be able to resist arranged marriages.

Xiangxin is here. If Jing can support herself, then even if Jing's marriage is going well, she can start a new life: just have children.

There are many problems in today's society, but Sang Jingyun believes that with the efforts of people of insight, everything will develop in a good direction.
