Bao Zheng married a total of three wives, but why did only the dowry give birth to him?
Here I believe that many people have a big head when they mention history books, because China's history has more than 5,000 years, deep history and culture, and it feels that their brain capacity is not enough to learn, but if you talk about the following person, I also believe that everyone is not unfamiliar with him at all, and even can say a lot of things about him? Who is this person? Let me first give you some hints to guess, he has a curved crescent moon between his forehead, his skin is dark, and he is a more famous Qing official in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are even many TV dramas about his theme. Yes, he is the Bao Zheng that we all know, so I will introduce this Bao Zheng to you well.
Everyone's impression of Lord Bao is like a god, because many TV series are filmed in this way, the cases handled by Bao Zheng in this TV series are basically strange cases, there is almost no private feelings of Bao Zheng, and finally everyone thinks that Bao Zheng is an iron-faced selfless, judgment is like a god, not like ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires, but this is a misunderstanding of Lord Bao, because he also has his own private feelings, he also has his own wife and children as usual.
Bao Zheng has married three wives in his life, but the last child was born to his wife's servant, but this sentence is wrong to say so, why? Because in addition to Bao Zheng's life in the officialdom, he also has his own private life, he married three wives in his lifetime, and this wife's servant is Bao Zheng's third wife, in fact, there is not much description of Bao Zheng's first wife in the history books, we only know that this wife's surname is Li, and later died of illness, and at that time this wife did not leave heirs to Bao Zheng, so Bao Zheng married a second wife.
This second wife was still an official, unlike the woman who had not been educated at that time, this girl was full of poetry and books, had a high degree of knowledge in literature, and was also a very educated young lady, of course, this had a lot to do with Bao Zheng's ability to become a high official after that, so here I have to say that this wife is Bao Zheng's veritable Kennaisuke, because Bao Zheng once had a lot of disputes with people in the official field, but later with the help of this wife, it was resolved, so it was deeply pleasing to Bao Zheng. In the end, Bao Zheng was also very contentiously admitted to the meritorious name, which of course could not be separated from the help of this wife's back.
After Bao Zheng was admitted to the meritorious name, he decided to go back to take care of his elderly parents first, and his wife was also very considerate of taking care of everything in the family, without the slightest intention of blaming Bao Zheng. Such a good wife, why did Bao Zheng still marry a third wife? This may be related to the customs of the time, because this third wife was the dowry of his second wife, because the custom at that time was that if the master he married in the past died, then the dowry lady had to marry the past, so it became Bao Zheng's third wife, and this third wife also gave birth to bao Zheng's heirs, and we can also know in some historical materials that Bao Zheng's third wife's surname is Dong, and also gave birth to a son for Bao Zheng to continue the incense.
