After Xiao Taohong Jiaorui gave birth to her daughter Sangmei, she gave the child to the newly widowed Gu Yulong’s first wife Yuqiang to raise, while she sold the “Taozhi Yaoyao” branch in Hangzhou City. All her belongings were converted into silver notes and stored in that rosewood cage together with the fine gold, silver and luxurious costumes that Gu Yulong bought for her. Then, Xiao Taohong returned to the Peach Blossom Opera Troupe, scored twice, and once again became the lead and leading actress of the Peach Blossom Opera Troupe. She was determined to grow old with her seriously ill senior brother Mantianxing and never be separated. Unexpectedly, the troupe suddenly encountered an unexpected change during the performance. In the troubled times full of disasters, Chen Xueli, the silk king and wealthy gentry in Hangzhou, directed and acted in "Heroes Save the Beauty" to cause trouble. He sent people to plot and kidnapped Manchu. Tianxing, forced, conspired, used soft and hard tactics, threatened and forcibly married Jiaorui as the concubine of the fifth house. After Chen Xueli married his concubine Jiaorui, he spent more money than Gu Yulong. The rosewood box and cage he built for Jiaorui was larger and more luxurious than Gu Yulong's. It was filled with costumes inlaid with pearls and emeralds that he had tailor-made for Jiaorui. and dramatic headdresses carved with diamonds and jade. What moved and confused Jiaorui even more was that in order to relieve his concubine Jiaorui's loneliness, Chen Xueli built a stage for her with three sides facing water, four corners lying on waves, and five corridors. He also recruited a family troupe. He specially hired actors from Shanghai who had returned from studying in France. Zhang Deng, a charming Jiangnan talent, taught Jiaorui chess, music, calligraphy and painting, the Four Books and Five Classics, and French aristocratic etiquette. Jiaorui and the modern and trendy Zhang Deng were affectionate while rubbing each other's ears, but they were discovered by the wily Chen Xueli. Chen Xueli remained calm and sent someone to castrate Zhang Deng's "male root" with a sharp weapon, and expelled Zhang Deng from Hangzhou. From then on, Jiaorui's status in the Chen family was low, and she suffered multiple persecutions and humiliations from Chen Xueli, his eldest wife Bai Shi, and several other concubines.
Jiaorui, who was in trouble, missed her daughter Sangmei, who was born to Man Tianxing, heartbrokenly. She sent people to find Yuqiang to get her daughter back, but she didn't know that her mother Xueyi (Sai ??Taohong) was also in Blackstone at this moment. The eldest wife Zhu Mudan was tortured to death in the village bandit's den, and her days were like years. Xueyi (Sai ??Taohong) is worried about her daughter who was sold by Zhu Mudan when she was three years old and her life and death are unknown. She is thinking about the past time when she was doted on by Shang Shiyue and warmed and shrouded by the happy red paper umbrella.
While the widowed Yuqiang worked hard to raise Yanhong and Fengyun, she raised her daughter Sangmei for Jiaorui without any regrets, neither humble nor arrogant, and refused any financial help Jiaorui offered. The lonely and helpless Yu Qiang formed a true love with Shang Zidan, the son of the old steward of the umbrella shop in the miserable wind and rain, and gave birth to their son Shang Han. Just when they were determined to overcome difficulties and obstacles and come together, the mystery of Shang Han's life experience was revealed vividly and ruthlessly under the careful arrangement and encouragement of Hu Yudie's mother. Jiaorui tried her best to help Yuqiang out of the predicament, and started a contest with Hu Si's wife and Liu Xiangxu, but the bloody Lin revealed the identity of Jiaorui and Shang Shiyue as "father and daughter" and their disappearance in the memory of the late Qing Dynasty. The sudden conflict affected Yu Qiang, causing Gu Guhei to brutally retaliate against Shang Zidan and Yu Qiang. Jiaorui and her father Shang Shiyue couldn't recognize each other when they were facing each other; Yu Qiang died of shame and anger; Shang Zidan, who was deeply affectionate and righteous, raised four children, Yan Hong, Fen Yun, Sang Mei and Shang Han, by himself, and finally became depressed. Ji, clutching a jade butterfly that symbolizes his and Yuqiang's suffering love, bids farewell to this world.
People are unpredictable and disasters arise. The bandit Gu Guhei of Heishizhai is not only responsible for the death of his son Gu Yulong, but also because he doubts his fellow junior Liu Xiangxu’s good intentions for the umbrella shop and his long-term support for Shang Shiyue, who is seriously ill. Because of the sluggish business, Eguchi Ichiro coveted and hated the business and fame of "Shang Zihao". The "Shangzihao" umbrella store was attacked by Gu Hei and Eguchi Ichiro, and was looted again. Shang Shiyue would rather turn into a fire phoenix than leave his umbrella store in the fire. Liu Xiangxu threw herself into the sea of ????fire to save her. In Shang Shiyue, he was also burned to death in the fire. All the grievances and hatreds were burned and annihilated in the raging fire, and eventually the umbrella shop was turned into ruins. Jiaorui rushed to the scene of the fire to look for her father, Shang Shi. When the moon met, she only saw the ruins of annihilated ashes and the damage of broken walls.
Xue Yi (Sai ??Taohong), who became the wife of Yazhai, was tortured into a "living dead" in the gangster den of Heishizhai. She heard the tragic news that Shang Shiyue was burned to death and the umbrella shop was burned down. , and from the "living dead" to the "dead and alive" who are in pain. At this moment, she thinks about her daughter who was abducted and lost many years ago day and night, but she doesn't know where her Jiaorui is now.
Eguchi Ichiro's Oriental Umbrella Shop prospered due to the decline of the "Shangzihao" umbrella shop. It quickly opened up and monopolized the Jiangnan and national markets. It was both the best and a unique business. The new generation of the "Shangzihao" umbrella shop is experiencing new hardships in the ruins, smoke, dust and vicissitudes of life. Yanhong went to the Forgetting Temple outside the city to become a nun during the war. She encountered the kidnapped and down-and-out young boy Mantianxing. The two of them sympathized with each other. She fell in love and secretly gave birth to a shady son; Fen Yun fell into trouble and went to a water mill in a village, where she met Fu Sheng, an imposing young patriarch. The two became wild mandarin ducks in the water mill and gave birth to their daughter Shiwei. However, he violated the family rules and was expelled and sanctioned as "unethical" by the simple and stubborn mountain people, and almost suffered "sinking in the pond".
Jiaorui, who had fallen out of favor, survived strongly in the Chen family and gradually managed to survive. Chen Xueli died of a sudden illness. During the overt and covert fights with the Chen family's concubines, Jiaorui got help from Zhong Shaobai, who had fled the umbrella shop and joined the army and had been promoted to general. She got her wish and obtained the Chen family's vast fortune and married Zhong Shaobai. After becoming the general's wife, her daughter Sang Mei also returned to her. General Zhong Shaobai once had a deep affection for Yu Qiang, so he regarded Yu Qiang's daughter Sang Mei as his own and cherished it extremely.
Jiaorui brought a rosewood box and cage given to her by two men to marry Zhong Shaobai. Zhong Shaobai also behaved more grandly than Gu Yulong and Chen Xueli. The third rosewood box and cage she built for Jiaorui was filled with In order to express his love for Jiaorui, in addition to the 7749 pieces of silver jewelry, he also brought back a red paper umbrella from Jiaorui's mother, Sai Taohong, who was the founder of the umbrella shop back then. When Shiyue is infatuated with love, she uses the mulberry leaves collected on the vernal equinox to raise silkworms to make silk, uses the white dew rainwater to reel and weave silk to make the umbrella cover, and uses the first bamboo on the waterside to make the umbrella ribs. A red paper umbrella made with the most demanding requirements that will last a lifetime. Back then, Shang Shiyue used this red paper umbrella to marry his favorite woman Xue Yi (Sai ??Taohong) as he wished; now General Zhong Shaobai took it back from Heishi Village to express his true love and affection for Jiaorui. Compassion. Xiao Taohong got this red paper umbrella made by her father and found out that her mother was working as the wife of Heishizhai. Hanging on the red paper umbrella was a red gem that was as crystal clear as broken red ice. Jiaorui took it off and put it on her face, as if she had been close to her mother's body and the lonely maternal love that remained deep in her memory. This red necklace, which symbolizes chastity and the youthful blood and tears of women of five generations in the past, was personally placed by her father on her mother's neck on their wedding night. It was also a vague and cruel thought left by her mother to Jiaorui. Jiao Rui, who dares to love and hate, although her freedom, desire and love are not restricted by the shackles and shackles of Hong Yingluo, her life and blood and tears are like Hong Yingluo, with both cold pink and green traces and cruel peach sorrow. Apricot resentment is a fragrant and lonely stone, as heavy as youth, oppressing life. Jiaorui used a precious ruby ??from her collection, tied it with her mother's Hong Ying Luo, and wore it around her neck. From then on, she became the sixth generation descendant of Hong Ying Luo, and finally had a red paper umbrella that symbolized true love. Jiaorui strongly wanted to see her mother.
Jiaorui’s daughter Sang Mei and Shang Han’s childhood sweetheart. Out of repayment for Yuqiang, out of attachment to the merchant umbrella shop, and even out of guilt for Gu Yulong, Jiaorui decided to Her daughter Sang Mei was betrothed to Shang Han and helped Shang Han regain his strength and rebuild the Shanghao Umbrella Shop in the ruins. She received the support of her husband, General Zhong Shaobai. However, the bandit leader Gu Hei of Heishizhai and Ichiro Eguchi in Hangzhou City were harassed and invaded unpreventably, and Zhong Shaobai's army could not protect the safety of the umbrella shop. Zhong Shaobai decided to quell the bandit rebellion and bloodbathed Heishi Village. However, Gu Hei took Xiao Taohong's mother Xueyi (Sai ??Taohong) as a hostage, so that Zhong Shaobai's team could not act rashly. The newly opened umbrella shop of Sang Mei and Shang Han was unable to operate, survive and develop normally. They racked their brains and couldn't figure out who the enemy was that was always against them. They could only make red paper umbrellas in a small way. In order to support their family, Sang Mei and Shang Han came to Hangzhou together. Sang Mei worked as an embroiderer on the streets, while Shang Han went to the streets to sell umbrellas. By chance, when the young couple walked through the door of Eguchi Ichiro's Oriental Red Paper Umbrella Shop, they were attracted by the grand momentum and hot business in the umbrella shop. Eguchi Ichiro's wife took a fancy to Sangmei's exquisite embroidered green clothes and the outfit and style of a Jiangnan embroidery girl. She wanted to hire Sangmei to teach Chinese embroidery to her daughter Eguchi Yoko, but Eguchi Yoko was attracted by her talent and unique temperament. Shang Han fell in love at first sight and fell in love with her, and gave him a Japanese flower paper umbrella that he could freely visit the Oriental Umbrella Shop. Sang Mei, who is at the end of her rope, does not know the background and details of this Japanese umbrella shop, nor does she know that the sentimental Yoko has evil thoughts about Shang Han. Without knowing it, Sang Mei acts as Yoko's flower girl. , who showed his skills in tie-up embroidery and was jealous, admired and relied on by Eguchi Yoko. At the same time, Yoko's brother, the Japanese ronin Michio Eguchi, who advocates Bushido, was also fanatical about Sangmei, who taught Yoko embroidery. He waited for an opportunity to entice Sangmei to embroider a cherry blossom pattern on his kimono belt, but Sangmei refused. .
The army led by Zhong Shaobai took control of the south of the Yangtze River and entered Hangzhou City. Ichiro Eguchi fled after hearing the news. His son Michio Eguchi and daughter Yoko Eguchi stayed in Hangzhou because they were obsessed with love. Sang Mei and Shang Han returned to Yuzhen to escape being chased. General Zhong Shaobai and Jiaorui enjoyed the fruits of victory and moved into Ichiro Eguchi's small western-style building.
The moment Jiaorui, who was about to give birth, walked into the small building, she saw the red paper umbrella in Yoko's hand and the vicious eyes like the thorns of Maimang swords. Little did she know that her general husband was treating this woman at the same time. Eyes hallucinate. In order to find Shang Han, Yangzi went to Yuzhen under a red paper umbrella. That night, Jiaorui gave birth to her son Zhong Wangchen in pain.
The war-torn Yuzhen has its own kind of chaos and darkness. The gangsters in Heishizhai have never given up harassing and invading the shaky Shanghao Umbrella Shop. Sang Mei and Shang Han rely on making umbrellas. He struggled to survive by selling umbrellas and gave birth to his son Shang Xin. Xueyi (Sai ??Taohong) took the opportunity to go to the Forgotten Temple to offer incense and secretly came to the Shangzihao Umbrella Store. Looking at the ruins of the umbrella store that had been burned by smoke and fire and the dilapidated simple workshop, she recalled the glory and glory of the umbrella store. Shang Shiyue, who was as affectionate as the sea, gave him a peerless love that was as fragile and fragrant as a red paper umbrella, shielding from the wind and rain. Thinking of all the good things that had been disillusioned and destroyed, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Jiaorui and General Zhong Shaobai came to Yuzhen to visit Sang Mei and Shang Han. They met their mother Xueyi (Sai ??Taohong) unexpectedly. They were so sad that they cried until the sky thundered and rained. Jiaorui strongly invited her mother to go back to Hangzhou with her, but her mother insisted on going back to Heishizhai because Gu Heishen was seriously ill and was dying. She came out this time to pray for him - for a dying man, She suddenly no longer hated her enemy who wanted to be killed by a thousand cuts. Even though she had never loved him before, there was no need for hatred anymore, and she had even sublimated it into peace and forgiveness. Those sorrowful vicissitudes and desolate sufferings in life have long formed a dependence and habit on her lonely life. She can't get out, come back, let alone break out. Zhong Shaobai and Eguchi Yoko met unexpectedly in Yuzhen. The experienced general suddenly became passionate and sensitive, but Yoko came to Yuzhen to pursue love and find Shang Han. She could only be brave. However, he resolutely confessed his sincerity to Shang Han and boldly fought with Sang Mei in secret and jealousy. He didn't care at all about the moisture in the general's eyes and the ever-lasting love. Michio Eguchi also came to Yuzhen to chase Sangmei, and used his superb Japanese umbrella-making skills to help Sangmei and Shang Han's small umbrella shop get out of the trough. Michio Eguchi always cared for Sang Mei in every detail, which caused Shang Han's misunderstanding and contradiction, but he gradually gained Sang Mei's gratitude and understanding. In order to compete for Shang Han, Yangzi continued to create troubles, provoked and intimidated Sangmei, and intensified his charm and charm in front of Shang Han. In order to defend love, Sang Mei had a conflict with Yang Zi. When Sang Mei's mother Jiaorui cheered for Sang Mei, the conflict intensified. Yang Zi glared at Jiaorui, but stared into the passionate eyes of Jiaorui's husband Zhong Shaobai and secretly swore, Be sure to get it and take crazy revenge. Due to a moment of negligence, Sang Mei also caused Shang Han to be disfigured by the "acid water" used as an umbrella, burned out his vocal cords, and became mute. Sang Mei jumped into a well and died in shame and helplessness. Michio Eguchi held a samurai sword and prepared to punish his younger sister Yoko. He was stopped and protected by Shang Han, who was in pain and illness, and Zhong Shaobai, a general who came with a gun. In despair and grief, Michio Eguchi performed a caesarean section and died for Sangmei. The gurgling blood flowed beside the deep dry well to pay homage to Sangmei's spirit in heaven. Jiaorui and Zhong Shaobai took in Sang Mei's three-year-old son Shang Xin. However, the child accidentally disappeared shortly after arriving in Hangzhou. He was abducted by human traffickers and taken to Shanghai, where he was sold to a wealthy family and later became a drama star. Yangzi stayed in Yuzhen, and got his wish by getting Shanghan in the pomegranate blossoms during the Dragon Boat Festival in May. However, after becoming pregnant and giving birth to a daughter, he left without saying goodbye and returned to Hangzhou City, where he met Jiaorui, Zhong Shaobai and four-year-old Zhong Wangchen. ** and ** lived together in a small Western-style building that used to be an Oriental umbrella shop. Jiaorui was in pain, sorrow, and anger because her daughter Sangmei was manipulated by Yangzi and her family was ruined. On the surface, she restrained her hatred and pretended to be friendly and enthusiastic to Yangzi. Finally, when Yangzi's half-year-old daughter fell into a high fever and fell into a coma, she In the name of the child's death, he threw the child in a cemetery in the suburbs on a stormy night. Unexpectedly, the gravekeeper in the cemetery turned out to be Shang Han, who was brutally disfigured and lost his voice and was called "Uncle Mute". Amidst the wind, rain and lightning, Jiaorui threw the "dead child" in the cemetery. Before leaving, she softened her heart and beat her hand. A red paper umbrella was hanging over the "dead child".
There are no mausoleums in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, there are thunders in the winter, rain and snow in the summer, and the heaven and the earth are united, I dare to be with you! ”
The old umbrella shop is in ruins, and they are determined to rebuild it on the ruins; the beauty of the past has been destroyed, but they firmly believe that the beauty will last forever. For happy people, the pain in life should be without resentment No regrets; for Jiaorui, who has gone through many hardships and feels guilty, she can only break out of her cocoon and become a reborn butterfly.
