Men marry women, and the marriage is happy. A beautiful marriage has always been the desire of many people. And the appearance of the langcai woman, the door is right, it seems to have become synonymous with a happy marriage. The handsome man and the gentle and lovely woman stand in their own picture, and the perfect love is really enviable.
Throughout history, it seems that we can always see all kinds of marriages, piles of which have become good stories and praised by the people of the time. But are such perfect marriages abound? I can't see it all, and by wiping away the dust in the cracks of time, we can glimpse the incomplete majority of history.
Li Wen'an is one of the imperfect majority, and his marriage, in detail, is also inextricably linked to his life experience.
Born into poverty, he did not give up his ambition
In the early Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination system had not yet been abolished, and according to the ancient concept, many students studied hard for twelve years in order to win the rank of scholar, honor the ancestors, and obtain endless honors and supreme appreciation. Li Wen'an's father, Li Dianhua, was no more than this.
Li Dianhua devoted his decades of years to the imperial examination, in a vain attempt to change the fate of the family through the examination and climb the Bright Avenue, but he had to give up several unsuccessful examinations.
There is an old Chinese saying that "the son inherits the father's business", and when placed on Li Dianhua, it is the son who succeeds the father. Since The defeat of Li Dianhuake, he has devoted his efforts to cultivating children.
Li Wen'an, the son of Li Dianhua, is the fourth oldest in the family. Studying hard since he was a child, he vowed to complete his father's unfinished business, obtain a meritorious name, and shine on the lintel. However, the sky is not as good as people wish, for Li Wen'an, it is not easy to obtain a meritorious name.
Nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, it is this ambitious Li Wen'an, but he has an intellectual defect that is born inferior to others, and ordinary people work twice as well, but he is half the work. But he never gave up, and the "stupid bird flies first" method is an indelible and important reason for his later achievements.
The material foundation that Li Dianhua gave to Li Wen'an was not good, and in terms of the economic situation of the Li family at that time, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was not enough to make ends meet. The Li family was living a tense life at that time, the economic situation has been bad, and Li Dianhua, who is burdened with heavy debts, naturally cannot provide a good environment for children to study.
Even in this context of poverty, Li Wen'an has never given up on his ambitions. Although he lived a poor life with no last meal, he still tirelessly immersed himself in hard reading, and when the people next to him were in the wilderness, Li Wen'an, who had no distraction, threw himself into the knowledge of scientific examination early, and often learned to sleep and forget to eat.
Emperor Tian did not pay off, the then 35-year-old Li Wen'an keju succeeded, with the outstanding student Daoguang Jia Midday Examination, Daoguang Pengshu years achieved good results in the third place of the palace examination, and thus opened his brilliant and smooth Kangzhuang Shitu Avenue.
Behind every successful man, it is inseparable from the silent dedication of a woman. The important reason for Li Wen'an's success is not only his own solid foundation of diligent study, but also inseparable from a woman behind him, that is, his hair-tied wife, Li Shi.
Marry a good wife to the world
There was a lot of snow in the sky, and a girl was curled up on the rough road full of frost, if there was no help, in this extreme weather where the cold wind was raging, it would be difficult to save her life. Fortunately, the Jiren had her own heavenly appearance, and this girl was saved by the father and son of Li Dianhua who passed by, and has since become the Li clan.
Li Dianhua felt sorry for this girl and simply took her home to treat her as a daughter. The childlike Li clan has since had a home, and Li Wen'an, the fourth elder of the Li family, has also become her titular brother, although there is no blood relationship, but the relationship between the two is intimate, not relatives are better than relatives.
With the increase of age, in the blink of an eye, Li Wen'an, the fourth elder of the Li family, has also reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage. At this time, Li Dianhua was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, willing to worry about Li Wen'an's marriage without anything else, the family could not make ends meet, the poor and poor economic situation, how to get a wife for his son?
The sons in the family are too poor to marry a wife, and the little girl in the family, Li Shi, is also treated in the boudoir because of her innate appearance that is not as good as an ordinary woman, and no one cares.
The marriage of the two juniors in the family has never been resolved. Just when Li Dianhua was worried, a scene he accidentally saw made some thoughts germinate in his heart.
Li Wen'an, who returned late, put on his own clothes for the tired little girl Li Shi, who was busy with housework, and this scene attracted Li Dianhua's attention. After that, he began to pay attention to his son's behavior, and after determining his son Li Wen'an's intention for his sister, he gave Li Wen'an support and encouragement, and tolerated this love that was not favored by the world.
Li Wen'an's love affair with Li Shi slowly grew in the daily life of the two, and after a long period of consideration, Li Father finally made a plank and made the brother and sister get married. On an auspicious day, Li Wen'an, who was too poor to marry his daughter-in-law, and his ugly sister, who could not marry out, were happily married, which was incomprehensible to the people of the time.
Married to the wife, Li Shi showed her superb family management skills, the family was well taken care of by her, and the newlyweds' little life could be described as honey and oil.
In this lifetime, Li Gave birth to eight children for Li Wen'an, six men and two daughters, including Li Hongzhang, a famous late Qing dynasty minister in modern history.
Shi has a conspiracy with the national domain
Along with Li Wen'an, there was also a famous late Qing dynasty minister who was now famous for thousands of years, Zeng Guofan. It is naturally very simple to evaluate Mr. Zeng Guofan from the perspective of posterity: a politician, strategist, theoretician, writer, calligrapher, founder and commander of the Xiang Army in the late Qing Dynasty.
What is valuable is that Li Wen'an, who is in the same era background, also looks at him differently. As early as when Zeng Guofan was still an ordinary Beijing official, Li Wen'an had a crush on this contemporary of him, and he always had a good relationship with Zeng Guofan in the same year.
In his political career, Li Wen'an not only was he honest and honest as an official, but he was always shameless to ask questions and ask Zeng Guofan for advice on the way to serve his career, and the wisest thing he did was to send his son to zeng guofan as a teacher.
Li Wen'an, who had a plan in mind, sent his two children, Li Hongzhang and Li Hanzhang, to Zeng Guofan's door early. Li Hongzhang and Li Hanzhang did not disappoint their father, and assiduously learned from the master Zeng Guofan to shine the lintel of the Li clan.
Li Wen'an continued to work diligently in his later career, as Mr. Zhang Zai said, "establishing a life for the people", he was a clean and honest official, he never bent the law for personal gain in handling official affairs outside, and he was with his wife Li Shiqin and Ming at home. The two sons have also achieved little success, and Li Wen'an's life can be described as enviable.
Even if the family is poor and the wife is ugly, the truly talented and ambitious people will definitely not be depressed. Just like Li Wen'an, his success is inseparable from his own hard work and his wife's support, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there were no Li's husband and godson, Li Wen'an's life would definitely not have been so brilliant.
How about the wife of the chaff and the family lineage and appearance, Li Wen'an and his wife eventually cultivated Li Hongzhang, a modern celebrity of the late Qing Dynasty, as for how puzzling and confusing Li Wen'an's marriage with Li Was at that time, in the eyes of future generations, it was just a gossip and chat after tea as a comforting dispatch.
