During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Xu Yun in wei, and on the day of his marriage with his wife Ruan, Xu Yun heard that the bride was very ugly, and after the new marriage and worship, he used the excuse to lie outside and refused to enter the cave.
The bride knew that she was calm and waited quietly in the room until she heard that the groom's friend Heng Fan had come, and the bride felt even more worried, because he was a righteous gentleman and would definitely persuade Xu Yun to come in.
Sure enough, Xu Yun, under the persuasion of Heng Fan, felt that since it was a foregone conclusion, he could not change anything, so he walked into the room with a hard scalp.
However, when Xu Yun saw the appearance of the bride, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
The bride knew that he hated himself ugly, and knew better that he would not come in again when he went out, so she decisively went forward and pulled Xu Yun's clothes. Xu Yun immediately said with a questioning tone, "How many virtues should a woman have?" ”
Originally, he wanted to embarrass the bride, but the bride confidently replied, "I only lack looks." How many of the hundred virtues a man should have? ”
"Me?" Xu Yun tilted his head back, "Of course I have it all!" ”
The bride said, "A hundred virtues are headed by virtue, but you are lustful and not virtuous, how can you say that you have them all?" ”
Xu Yun listened and found that his wife was quick-thinking, and what she said was reasonable, and she was really ashamed of herself.
At that moment, Xu Yun had respect for his wife.
Since then, the two have respected each other and lived in harmony.
Soon, Xu Yun became an official attendant (responsible for selecting officials). During his tenure, Xu Allow offended some people. Those people often complained to Emperor Wei Ming, criticizing him for unfair use of people, and it just so happened that he did promote many of his fellow countrymen.
Emperor Wei Ming listened a lot and began to have doubts about Xu Yun's employment.
One day, Emperor Wei Ming suddenly sent someone to arrest Xu Yun, and the family members were in disarray. Only Nguyen was very calm, and when Xu Yun was about to be taken away, he immediately went forward to instruct him: "Don't plead in the face of the monarch, but use reason to persuade." ”
Along the way, Xu Yun thought about his wife's instructions and felt that it was very reasonable. Anyway, he really hadn't done it, just thinking about it, and his originally flustered mood gradually calmed down.
After Xu Yun's arrest, the whole family cried loudly, thinking that the great trouble was coming, and only Nguyen calmly reassured everyone. He also personally made the millet porridge that Xu Yun loved to eat and waited.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xu Yun to return.
It turned out that at the imperial court, Xu Yun calmly quoted the Analects from "Ju'er Know" (meaning, to promote people you know) to explain that because you knew your fellow countrymen and knew their true talents and practical learning. Moreover, after they took office, they were very competent, and asked the emperor to send someone to investigate, and if one of them was incompetent, he was willing to accept punishment.
Emperor Wei Immediately arranged for someone to investigate. The results proved that what Xu Yun said was not false, so he let Xu Yun go.
After that, Xu Yun continued to be promoted and became the leader of the middle. He had personal relations with Zhongshu Ling Li Feng and Taichang Xiahou Xuan. At this time, the whole political climate was becoming more and more devious and changeable.
In 249 AD, Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Rebellion" and took control of the imperial government. Due to the feud between sima and cao, sima took the opportunity to wantonly kill the members of the Cao clique headed by Cao Shuang, and both Li Feng and Xiahou Xuan were unfortunately killed.
Although Xu Yun was lucky enough to escape the disaster, he was also terrified and panicked.
A few years later, Xu Yun was appointed general of Zhenbei. Xu Yun thought that the previous storm had subsided, and he was also promoted, which was quite proud.
But Ruan Shi was not happy, she knew that since Sima Shi had executed others, how could she let Xu Yun go? Retaliation is only a matter of time.
Sure enough, not long after, Xu Yun was exiled by Sima Shi, the King of Jinjing, and died on the road.
When she heard the bad news coming, Nguyen's expression did not change, because she had expected this result.
The protégé who came to report the funeral wanted her to quickly hide several children, afraid that the King of Jin Jing would kill them all, and even the children would not let go.
Nguyen knew of this possibility, but instead of hiding the children, he built a thatched hut next to her husband's tomb and took the children to live there to guard the tomb.
After king Jing of Jin knew that Xu Yun still had children, he was worried that the children would avenge their father and threaten him in the future, so he sent someone under the guise of visiting, but in fact, he wanted to observe how capable Xu Yun's children were, and if they were capable, they would be arrested and brought back to get rid of the troubles.
When the children received the news, they asked their mother how to deal with the visitors.
The Ruan Clan comforted the children: "Although you are all very good, your current studies still need to be improved, and your abilities still need to be exercised, so there will be nothing to do." ”
She told the children that when the man came, she should be sincere and frank when talking to him, but there was no need to show too much sorrow, and the crying should be stopped, let alone ask more about the court.
The children took their mother's instructions and received the visitors well.
After the man returned, he reported to King PuJing, as Nguyen had predicted, that his children were extremely ordinary, so that King Pujin did not have to worry.
After hearing this, King Jingjing of Jin dismissed the idea of arresting the children.
The lives of the children were finally saved.
Excerpt from "The World Speaks a New Language"
Although Nguyen is not beautiful, she is very clever, and many things are safely survived by her calmness, although Xu Yun was killed in the end, but it also saved his bloodline.
