In the late Qing Dynasty, on the day of Zeng Guofan's big wedding, suddenly the bride repented in public, and such a disgraceful thing happened that made the Zeng family lose face, Zeng Guofan was ashamed and angry, and almost collapsed...
In 1811, Zeng Guofan was born in An ordinary small rich family in Hunan. His father attached great importance to education and hoped that he would take the meritorious name, Zeng Guofan worked particularly hard, but his qualifications were mediocre, and he needed to pay a lot of time to study to reach the level of others.
One day, Zeng Guofan was reading at night at the end of the study, when a thief sneaked in and hid on the beam of the study, trying to steal after Zeng Guofan slept.
Unexpectedly, this night, Zeng Gongzi repeatedly recited an article until late at night, and still could not recite it.
The thief couldn't bear to jump off the beam and said angrily, "Why are you so stupid?" Even I can carry it, you can't carry it yet! ”
After saying that, the thief memorized the article word for word and flew away, startling Zeng Guofan stunned... This incident hit Zeng Guofan quite hard, his talent was not enough, and he could make up for his clumsiness, and from then on he studied even more vigorously.
When Zeng Guofan first took the imperial examination, he went with his father, and as a result, both father and son fell off the list, and since then, the grandfather and grandfather have opened the road of common scientific examination, full of hope again and again, and returned from loss again and again.
Finally, when his father was 43 years old, zeng guofan was still unnamed on the list, but he saw confidence and hope in his father, and studied even more sleeplessly, and later passed the examination for xiucai and lifting people.
Seeing that Zeng Guofan's age was not small, his family began to worry about his marriage, but he only wanted to study.
Coupled with the fact that Zeng Guofan suffers from skin diseases, his body is full of scale-like ringworm, and he always covers himself tightly throughout the year, and when it comes to marriage events, he is even more inferior to the point of bottomlessness.
The teacher Ouyang Ningzhi has always been in love with Zeng Guofan, and he feels that although this student is a little stupid, he is sincere and studies steadily, and with his tenacity to not accept defeat, he will definitely make a difference in the future. He personally acted as a matchmaker for the proud protégé and introduced the qianjin of the local large wang family to Zeng Guofan.
The Wang family is a famous and prestigious family, and the Zeng family is very satisfied, but Miss Wang family does not look up to Zeng Guofan, who has no family background and no meritorious name.
In order to promote this marriage, Teacher Ouyang came to the Wang family several times to match, and assured the Wang family that Zeng Guofan was definitely a talent, and he would definitely obtain a meritorious name in the future and have a promising future.
Because Teacher Ouyang was very famous in the local area, the Wang family should have this marriage and set an auspicious day. It is really unpredictable, Zeng Guofan has been on two consecutive scientific expeditions all fallen to Sun Shan, this time Miss Wang Family is no longer doing it, she is a grand Bai Fumei, how can she live a lifetime with this poor boy who has no future?
Teacher Ouyang took the trouble to persuade him, but the Wang family obstructed his face and refused to say anything. Finally, the day of Zeng Guofan's big wedding arrived.
Early in the morning, he led the welcoming team to the Wang family, but he did not expect that the daughter of the Wang family would resolutely not marry and made a decision to repent of marriage in public.
Zeng Guofan listened, almost fainted, the home is already full of guests, the flower palanquins are brought up, just wait for the bride to get on the palanquin, but there is such a ridiculous thing, how do you explain to your parents? Where did the Zeng family's face rest?
Zeng Guofan was ashamed and embarrassed, and in full view of everyone, he really wanted to find a seam to drill into. The matchmaker Teacher Ouyang was even more sweaty, this thing was too bad! Hurt his own proud protégé.
Suddenly, he had a clever move and said to Zeng Guofan: "Guofan, complain that I am not doing things well, don't be in a hurry, I have a daughter, Nian Fang 18, if you don't abandon it, you will marry the little girl today." ”
Zeng Guofan's tears were about to come out, and he immediately knelt down to thank him and called the teacher "father-in-law". The teacher's daughter he has seen, although there is no appearance of the city, but the knowledge of the book, the fall of the generous, today only by marrying the daughter-in-law home, in order to save the face of the Zeng family, otherwise it can not end ah!
In this way, Ouyang Teacher's daughter Ouyang Shi was completely unprepared, and was vaguely married back home by Zeng Guofan that day.
On the night of the cave flower candle, the bride saw the skin disease on Zeng Guofan's body and was frightened. Originally, the marriage was rushed, and Ouyang's heart was wronged, which was even more sad, and Zeng Guofan also felt sorry for the girl.
Ouyang Shi was silent for a moment and said to Zeng Guofan, "Since I have married you, I am a member of the Zeng family, no matter what you look like, I am my husband, I hope that my husband will focus on his studies and will be able to make me a lady of the Commandments in the future!" ”
What is Lady Of commandments? That was a title given by the emperor to the mother or wife of a high-ranking official, and it was supremely glorious! The words spoken by the woman from Shuxiang Mendi were different, and Ouyang's soft whispers made Zeng Guofan both warm and full of confidence.
Since marrying his wife, Zeng Guofan soon passed the entrance examination and set foot in the official field. Since then, his life seems to have been opened, seven times in ten years, ten consecutive promotions, all the way to the spring breeze triumphant, the official to the governor directly subordinate, becoming the mainstay of the late Qing Dynasty.
His wife Ouyang Shi was also honored by the emperor as a lady of the Yipin Commandment, which was also the best reward for Zeng Guofan to his wife. The Ouyang clan honored his in-laws, ran the family, and was the sage of Zeng Guofan.
The two sons and daughters sang women's songs, Qinser and Ming, and Mu Xi bystanders. Although Zeng Guofan had no connection with Miss Wang's family in the high-gate household, he accidentally married Miss Ouyang of Xianhui Wangfu.
With the trust and support of his wife, Zeng Guofan developed his grand plans and achieved success in life. It really responds to that sentence: everything is the best arrangement! Friends, how do you see, welcome to leave a message!
