Prince of Tay Do Duong Van Quan: Rich in money, rich in children, left his wife with a series of mysterious lovers

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, many sons of rich families appeared in the South. "Chickens hate each other crowing", the princes do not give up anyone in the match of wealth, willing to play.

In particular, the clash between the son of Bac Lieu Tran Trinh Huy and the son of the Western capital Duong Van Quan is the most mentioned by people.

Prince of Tay Do Duong Van Quan

According to the genealogy of the Duong family, which is still handed down in Binh Thuy district (Can Tho city), Duong Van Quan (the third uncle of Quan) is the eldest son of Duong Lap Cang and Tran Thi Thao.

Duong Lap Cang gave birth to 4 boys and 7 girls, their youngest child is Duong Quang Tich. Currently, their great-grandson, Mr. Duong Van Phuong, is inheriting this famous family house, located next to the ancient house of Binh Thuy.

According to Mr. Phuong, this house was built by Mr. and Mrs. Duong Lap Cang in 1908.

At first, his uncle Quan officially inherited, but due to his liberal temperament and reckless play, the inheritance right was transferred to his brother, the youngest son of Duong Lap Cang's grandparents. The house is now 110 years old with the architecture still intact.

Opening the genealogy book of the Duong family, Mr. Phuong showed us a picture of the members of the genus and showed us a portrait of Duke Guan.

According to many documents handed down, Duke Quan was a very handsome, elegant man.

The property in his hand was inherited from his grandparents. With money in hand, he generously spent it on those in need of help.

His father's characteristic is that if he can say it, he must do it. No matter how difficult it is, he wants to do it sooner or later.

About the level of money spent by Uncle Quan, Mr. Phuong said that every time he was sent to collect rice money, he used that number to play until he ran out of money to go home. Even if his father knew about it, he would only scold him lightly because after that, his uncle would have any disability.

At a time when he felt the need to have someone nearby to stop his extravagant actions, the family married him. The official wife is Mrs. Nguyen Thi Can, who is a dignified and gentle woman.

The couple gave birth to 2 boys and 6 girls. However, with his available nature, the third uncle not only did not cultivate but also got caught up in the habit of cheating his wife and children.

Rich in money, rich in children

With a handsome label, a lot of money, Uncle Quan is the dream model of many girls. After many lures, many times of flirting, the girls were spoiled and cherished by him.

In their hearts, they all wanted to lean on the prince's shoulder to have some grace. Both love and money, every girl wants to be taken care of by her father.

Mrs. Can, the wife of Quan's uncle, initially tried to dissuade him, but he just hummed to let it go. As soon as he promised his wife that he would not be promiscuous, he immediately married a beautiful young mistress.

In just a short time, he was the half-husband of 4 women. Of course, as a result of that love, he had many children. Not stopping, he also paired dozens of other lovers.

Although his wife and girlfriend are quite numerous, his father's women have never been jealous. Mrs. Can, after persuading her husband not to, retreated to be a shadow so that his uncle could freely roam around.

Challenge with Prince Bac Lieu

At that time, Mr. Ba Quan's house was very large, from Tra Noc village (Can Tho city) to the end of Phung Hiep village (Hau Giang province). Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Hoa, the third grandchild of the great prince Ba Quang, said: "My uncle has a total of 4 -5 wives and 6 -7 children. He is handsome and famous, so when Ba Lang established a career and was secretly loved by many other girls.

This person also said that Duke Quan once said that Tay Do and Hac Duke agreed to play cards, each game bet hundreds of silver coins, if anyone runs out of money first, he will lose and have to bow his head to make way for the winner.

The fight lasted past noon, but the two still had sacks of money with them. Impatiently, the two sides changed the rules to count money to see who had more. So the two gentlemen sent people home, brought all the money out... counted.

As a result, Ba Quan's son was defeated because although he was rich, he was "nothing" compared to the young master who had tens of tons of gold in the Tran family.

Being rich and having other "foolish" hobbies, the reputation of Prince Quan Lan reached Saigon. There is a "shocking" story that everyone still remembers that Prince Quang challenged the "cash" to the famous first son of Bac Lieu, Tran Trinh Huy.

"At that time, my great-grandfather also heard a lot about Mr. Huy in Bac Lieu, but never had a chance to meet him. Once, he heard a few bodyguards announce that Huy's car had passed through Can Tho. So my great-grandfather pulled him up. The bridge was stopped by Cai Rang. After that, Mr. Huy's car came, and the two sides faced each other on the bridge", said Mr. Hai Sang, the third grandson of Ba Quang's son.

As soon as he knew that the other group was Prince Tran Trinh Huy, Duke Quan immediately challenged to see who had more money. The two sides agree to play cards, each bet hundreds of silver coins, if anyone runs out of money first, they will lose and have to bow their heads to make way for the winner.

The fight lasted past noon, but the two still had sacks of money with them. Impatiently, the two sides changed the rules to count money to see who had more. So the two gentlemen sent people home, brought all the money out... counted.

As a result, the eldest son Ba Quan lost miserably because although he was rich, he was "nothing" compared to the young master who had tens of tons of gold under the Tran family. However, right after that, Prince Tran Trinh Huy sent a letter to ask to ignore everything and make friends by admiring the meaning and especially the "gossip" habit of Duke Quan.
