For a man, what is expected is nothing else, but simply that he can give his all and dedicate himself to a good cause. — Albert Einstein
In China's great country, there are both talented people with both talents and moral characters, as well as beautiful and virtuous people, as the "Book of Poetry" says: "Smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes and looking forward to it." ”
To this day, beautiful women are still very popular, but in today's society, beauty like flowers is not the only opportunity for women to get men's love, so-called: "Husbands with virtue is talent, women without talent is virtue." "In today's society, it is useless, on the contrary, women are more popular with talent."
Just like Zeng Guofan's great-granddaughter, Zeng Baosun, is a woman with both talent and morality. She has an enviable identity and background, but it is this identity and background that has made her future and brought her a certain "negative impact".
It should be known that after Zeng Baosun was a famous person, his father, Zeng Guangjun, was a rare talent. At the age of ten, he was called "Holy Child" by Wang Min, and then praised by Liang Qichao as one of the "Eight Sages of poetry", although his talent was outstanding, his performance on the road to his career was mediocre, but despite this, the education of his daughter was never left behind, just imagine how a woman who grew up in such an environment would not attract the attention of others?
Among them, there was no shortage of powerful people--- Zhang Jingyao, the overseer of Hunan. It is a pity that Zhang Jingyao's talent is a dime in front of Zeng Guangjun, and his deeds are even more blind to Zeng Guangjun, it can be said that he is a person who does no evil, and zhang Jingyao at this time also has a very nice name called "Zhang Butcher". Who is safe to marry his daughter to him?
However, power is a good thing, and few people dare to provoke people with heavy power today, so Zeng Guangjun is very troubled, and he can neither blatantly refuse nor marry his daughter to such a "butcher".
As the saying goes: "Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves" Zeng Guangjun knew this truth very well, so he thought of a bitter meat plan--- "climb relatives" to cut off Zhang Jingyao's thoughts about his daughter.
However, the Climbing relatives here are not going to climb a more powerful person or a distant relative, but a "relative" of Zhang Jingyao, who is "climbed", to know that Zeng Guangjun's grandfather- Zeng Guofan once protected Zhang Jingyao's ancestor ---- Zhang Zongyu, and those who know history know that these two people not only have no relatives, but are still enemies, but who is Zeng Guangjun?
He cleverly grasped the item of Baoju, and forcefully pulled the relationship between the two families extremely close, turning Zhang Jingyao's dizzy head, but who was Zhang Jingyao? The person who can sit in a high position is naturally not a fool, although he has no idea about the affairs of his ancestors, but according to the generational division, he is Zeng Baosun's grandfather, how can the grandfather marry his granddaughter?
So after Zeng Guangjun's so-called "climbing relatives", Zhang Jingyao's thoughts about Zeng Baosun were much lighter. The ancients had clouds: "Concubines are in the heart of the lotus; although they are still implicated", but "light" does not mean complete abandonment, if there is a certain opportunity, it will continue to emerge like the grass of the grassland, the so-called: "wildfires burn endlessly, the spring wind blows and grows again" is this truth. And how could Zeng Guangjun, as a talented man, not understand this truth?
The so-called "wounding the enemy a thousand, self-inflicted eight hundred" is the most appropriate to describe Zeng Guangjun's next move, but it should be known that the talents love face, and Zeng Guangjun is the same, but for his daughter he gave up his so-called "face" to climb this layer of relationship to the end, and everyone said that his family and Zhang Jingyao's family had a relationship, and in the end it could be said that he was "a household name", just to dispel Zhang Jingyao's thoughts about his daughter.
The result was expected, and Zhang Jingyao finally completely broke off his thoughts about Zeng Baosun. And he eventually protected his daughter.
As the saying goes: "Men should marry, women should marry" But not everyone is like this, zeng Baosun is one of the exceptions. She dedicated her life to her favorite cause, and it can be said that she is a great woman,
Therefore, some people say: "Those who have made great achievements are not small" Since you love your career and sacrifice a little time for it, even if it is love, how about love?
As the Hungarian poet Petofi Sandor said, "Life is precious, love is more expensive, and if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away." And what is freedom? The understanding of the self is that you can do whatever you want at any time and anything, remembering what Wu Yuzhang said: "Life is in the world, and career is important." A breath is still there, never loose. ”
In the years of history, what can make you famous for thousands of years is definitely not a poignant or wonderful love, career is more practical than love, and it can also make you constantly revise yourself and improve yourself. It allows you to see the results of your efforts. And this may be one of the reasons why Zeng Baosun loves his career, because it makes Zeng Baosun himself more excellent.
Remember that Jay Chou has a lyric called: "I only know that it seems that serious men are the most beautiful" and serious women are not attractive? In fact, no, who does not love a woman with a promising career and a beautiful and moving person? It just so happened that this woman "married" to a special gentleman - Career. All we can give is a blessing with admiration. She did what we could not do in our lifetimes.
In today's society, the word tolerance does not seem to have completely fallen on the head of women, as a woman, if you do not marry or have no intention of getting married at a certain age, you will be inexplicably tied to a strange hat--- "leftover women", and at this time, even if you have a successful career, you will be despised by outsiders.
Your parents still value your marriage and don't care about your career, but when you tell them that you plan to never marry for the rest of your life, you will be put on another hat by your parents - "filial piety". Therefore, under the pressure of society and relatives, friends and parents, many unmarried people today have become formalistic marriages, and "freedom" has become a luxury, let alone single-mindedly doing what they love. How can we not envy Zeng Baosun at that time?
However, in the future world, there are many uncertain factors, and change can happen at any time, remember Pooh once said: "Ordinary people listen to fate, only the strong are their masters" and what we have to do is not to go with the flow, but to go up against the current! This is our wonderful world!
