The maid of Zhang Ailing's family predicted Zhang Ailing's future in two sentences.

Zhang Ailing was born in a wealthy family, and her grandmother Li Ju was the daughter of a prime minister. Li Ju's father was Li Hongzhang, a famous Qing Prime Minister in modern history, and his grandfather was Zhang Peilun, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Peilun, a middle-aged poor official, is about twenty years older than Li Ju, a beautiful young daughter of Xiangfu. Li Ju is one of the low-married. Li Hongzhang gave his daughter a very generous dowry, which is a kind of compensation.

Therefore, Zhang Ailing's father (also known as Zhang) didn't have to work all his life, lived on his own heritage, lived in luxury, and became a slave and called a maid. Zhang Zhiyi and his ex-wife Huang Yifan have two children, a daughter Zhang Ailing and a son Zhang Zijing. However, Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Yifan never took care of the children, and the children were taken care of by special nannies.

The Zhang family has two spinsters who take care of Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing respectively. Hefei people like to call the maid "Gan", the maid who takes care of her is Zhang Qian, and the maid who takes care of Zhang Ailing is He Gan, just like what we usually call "Zhang Ma" and "He Ma".

As a mistress, Zhang Ailing is particularly disgusted with Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian, wrapped in little feet, is smart and competitive, leading everywhere. She is particularly proud of taking care of her young master. And what will the maid who takes care of Zhang ailing do? Because I am a girl, I feel guilty and make way for zhangqian in everything.

However, the young Zhang Ailing has a strong idea of equal rights between men and women. She can't stand the arrogance and son preference of Zhang Qian, the maid, and often has disputes with her. Zhang Qian discontentedly said to Zhang Ailing, "You have such a temper that you have to live in an exclusive village! I hope you will marry far away in the future-my brother doesn't want you back! "

The most interesting thing is that Zhang Qian, a maid with little culture, can also predict the future fate of Zhang Ailing from the position of grasping chopsticks with her fingers. Seeing Zhang Ailing grabbing chopsticks at the bottom, she said, "Chopsticks are near, but marriage is far away."

Clever Zhang Ailing quickly moved her finger to the top of chopsticks and said, "How far is it?" Zhang Qian proudly said: "If you catch far, you will marry far."

This made Zhang Ailing, who was very young, speechless with anger. Zhang Qian, a servant who prefers boys to girls, made Zhang Ailing think about the equality between men and women very early. She must strive for strength and surpass her brother Zhang Zijing. And Zhang Ailing realized her dream, and she is indeed much better than her younger brother.

Although Zhang Qian's divination was just to annoy Zhang Ailing, she was right. Later, Zhang Ailing went to America, married an old American writer, and never came back to visit her brother Zhang Zijing. Zhang Ailing not only married far away, but also ran far away from her heart, while her younger brother Zhang Zijing was not only geographically far away, but also mentally alienated.

What Zhang Qian, an old maid, inadvertently said predicted the fate of Zhang Ailing, a female writer. Although it was unintentional, it became a reality.
