Man creates his own history by each man pursuing his own, consciously desired ends, regardless of the outcome of this history, and the result of the many desires to act in different directions and their various effects on the outside world is history. - Engels
We all know that in ancient times in our country, it was very normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, but families with three wives and four concubines were rarely able to be safe and stable. Although the average family does not fight as constantly as the imperial palace, there are often some contradictions between the wife and the concubine. Of course, such things existed in ancient times, but there were some exceptions. In fact, at that time, there were even some people who were forced to take concubines, and the relationship between the wife and the concubine after the concubine was very harmonious.
Today's story is about a man who was forced to take a concubine, named Huang Zongyan, who was a figure at the end of the Qing Dynasty in China. Huang Zongyan can also be regarded as a famous person, and his father was one of the talents valued by Zeng Guofan at that time. Because of the family relationship Huang Zongyan became married early, the wife was also born in a rich family, the most important thing is that Huang Zongyan's wife is very considerate, the relationship between the two is very sweet after marriage, in today's words, it is to get married first and then fall in love. At that time, Huang Zongyan's idea was to be able to live a life as plain as his wife, and there was no idea of taking a concubine at all. However, an incident forced him to take a room of concubines.
It turned out that Huang Zongyan and his wife had been married for many years, and the two were very affectionate, but his wife's stomach had not moved. In the feudal period, most people felt that having no queen was a very unfilial thing, not to mention that Huang Zongyan's parents had always hoped that their family could have a descendant. In such a situation of thirst for incense, Huang Zongyan could only be forced to take a concubine, leaving a vein of blood for the Huang family in this way. In fact, Huang Zongyan did not promise to take a concubine at the beginning, he liked his wife very much and did not want to hurt her wife's heart because of the concubine. Only in the end, Huang Zongyan still did not resist his mother's emotional offensive and chose to take a concubine and have a child.
Huang Zongyan's concubine was an ordinary rural woman with a diligent and gentle personality. After Huang Zongyan took a concubine, the girl soon became pregnant. It seems that the failure of the wife to get pregnant was really his own problem. Many times the status of women in the family who are pregnant will be much higher, and the same is true for the Huang family. Because of the concubine's pregnancy for a while, the Huang family treated this girl as a baby to serve. Unfortunately, Huang Zongyan received the task to go to Yunnan, and contracted a serious illness on the road, and soon passed away, so even if the wife still had a lot of concerns about the concubine at first, now like the Parents of the Huang family, looking forward to the arrival of the little life, leaving a blood line for the Huang family and her husband.
However, on the day of childbirth, the concubine had just given birth to a child, but she frightened the wife to the ground, and it turned out that the first child of the concubine was a daughter. Zheng's wife herself was not able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the Huang family, and now that her husband's deceased concubine has only given birth to a daughter, this is indeed something that makes Zheng's wife very distressed. Fortunately, after the midwife's words made the wife see hope again, and also made everyone in the Huang family breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the girl born by the concubine this time was only a child in her belly, and at that time she was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus, and this news suddenly made all the people in the Huang family who were carrying their hearts relax. After Huang Zongyan's wife learned of this news, she was also very grateful to God for not letting the Huang family cut off the incense. However, Huang Zongyan's concubine was not so lucky, and died within a few years after giving birth to two children. Perhaps it is also because some of the diseases brought about by the birth of the child have affected her body to have such an ending. However, it is worth mentioning that the daughter of the two dragon and phoenix fetuses born to the concubine is Zhang Ailing's mother, Huang Yifan.
