What does Zeng Guofan's folding fan refract?

People red is not much.

In 1861, Zeng Guofan was promoted to governor of Liangjiang, and one of his cousins came to the door crying.

Zeng Guofan's cousin said: "Xian Nephew, I was bullied by bullies, and let the county officials beat 20 boards. You're going to be the lord for me!" ”

Who knows, Zeng Guofan deliberately skipped the topic and only took his cousin to the mountains and rivers, without mentioning the matter of helping.

The cause and effect of this matter is like this.

It is said that Zeng Guofan's cousin's field was occupied by the county's bullies.

The poor old man went to the county official to file a complaint, but he did not expect that the county official had already been bribed by the bullies, not only did not make decisions for him, but also beat him 20 big boards.

When he returned home, his cousin was indignant: "My nephew is obviously a high official, but no one knows." People only think I'm a bad old man, and no one dares to bully me. No, I can't stand it, I have to find my nephew. ”

Therefore, the cousin endured the pain and found Zeng Guofan.

After entering the door, the table said that he cried and complained, indicating the reason.

Who knows, Zeng Guofan did not answer the phone.

He deliberately skipped the topic and instructed his family: "Properly arrange your cousin, give him good food and drink, and take him to visit the beautiful scenery of the lower city and soothe his mood."

In this way, for more than ten days in a row, my cousin ate, drank and had fun, and the serious work was not accomplished at all.

He was puzzled and wondered, "Xian Nephew, have you forgotten about your uncle?" Or is it too hard to handle?"

Zeng Guofan replied, "I haven't forgotten!" Easy to do! I just want to do more filial piety for you. ”

A few days later, Zeng Guofan suddenly threw a feast and invited some high-ranking officials from the DPRK. Strangely enough, he put his cousin in the main seat.

During the banquet, Zeng Guofan frequently toasted to his cousin, and the dignitaries also toasted, as if the cousin was really the most honorable person here.

At the end of the banquet, Zeng Guofan took out a blank folding fan. He held up a fan and respectfully said to his cousin, "Nephew is not filial, and he cannot fulfill filial piety before your knees." You're not here, and I can't entertain you well. Now that you're going back, I'll send you a folding fan to show your heart. ”

When he finished, he took out his pen and ink, put his name on it, and stamped it.

After the adults present saw it, they praised The filial piety of Lord Zeng. Moreover, they also asked to send blessings to their cousins and leave their own names.

After the banquet, Zeng Guofan bid farewell to his cousin and said nothing about helping.

When my cousin came home, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

But on second thought, he thought of the fan.

So, he took the fan to the county court.

The county magistrate had thought that the old man was too weak to measure up and wanted to be beaten again.

Who knows, he showed off the folding fan and asked the county official to look at it.

When the county officials looked at it, the fan was full of the names and seals of the high officials of the DPRK, and after checking, they found that they were all true.

The county official trembled, changed his bad attitude in the past, and instantly paid tribute to the old man, afraid that the forces behind the old man would destroy him.

After that, he not only returned all the old man's fields, but also severely punished the bullies.

From this incident, it can be seen that Zeng Guofan is not concerned about his cousin's affairs on the surface, but behind his back, he has done all the planning.

In the end, the problem was solved effortlessly and did not fall into the tongue.

This matter, which seems to be a small matter, is actually a big thing.

If Zeng Guofan personally went down to help, he would end up bending the law for personal gain and bullying others.

But if he doesn't help, the people in his family will hate him for being ruthless and scold him for forgetting his roots!

People at that time still cared a lot about this!

Therefore, in the name of filial piety, he pulled many officials together to leave a name for his cousin's folding fan.

In this way, the nature of the folding fan changed.
