Journey to the West: Tang Monk's mother did not return to her mother's house for eighteen years, and Yin Kaishan, the minister of Tang Dynasty, was not suspicious?
Text/Jiang Zi shushu
In the story of "Journey to the West", Tang Monk's father is Chen Guangrui, the head of the dynasty, Tang Monk's mother is Wen Jiao, the daughter of Xiang Xiang, both of which are not ordinary people. As for their marriage, the original text is also very clear.
Unexpectedly, he swam to the head of the mountain gate of Xiang Xiang Yin, and there was a daughter born to Xiang Xiang, named Wen Jiao, also known as Man Tang Jiao, who had never been married, and was high in the cai lou, throwing a hydrangea bu son-in-law. At the right time, Chen Guangrui passed downstairs, and when the young lady saw that Guangrui was outstanding, she knew that she was a new branch leader, and her heart was very happy, so she threw down the hydrangea ball and just hit Guangrui's black gauze hat.
The official heard that Chen Guangrui was not only a high school champion, but also became the son-in-law of the chancellor, which can be described as a double happiness, but on the way to his post, he was injured by a water thief, leaving behind an old mother, living in the Wanhua Shop Liu Xiao'er's family for eighteen years, while his wife was abducted by the water thief and pretended to be him.
Later, Man Tang Jiao gave birth to Tang Monk, who was Jiang Liu'er, and eighteen years later, Tang Monk took Man Tang Jiao's letter and personally went to the mansion of the Prime Minister, which revealed the truth and took revenge on Xue Hate.
Some people wondered: Chen Guangrui's two sons traveled a long way to go to their posts, didn't they bring officials, servants, family members, and nursing homes? How could you be victimized by water thieves? Moreover, if the prime minister did not see his daughter and son-in-law return to the door during the past eighteen years, did he not send someone to check the reason?
Let's first look at the second question, did Chen Guangrui and Man Tangjiao return to the door? In fact, he had already returned, and after three days of wandering the streets, after receiving the will to go to the post, he returned to the Xiang Mansion.
Emperor Taizong was appointed as the lord of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and he was ordered to pack up and not miss the deadline. Guangrui Xie'en left the dynasty, returned to Xiangfu, consulted with his wife, paid homage to his mother-in-law, and went to Jiangzhou with his wife.
In other words, Chen Guangrui is actually the nature of entering the Xiangfu, he and Mantangjiao were married in the Xiangfu, he received the hydrangea ball, and at that time he was welcomed into the Xiangfu and married, what do you see in the original text?
The minister and the lady immediately went out of the hall, summoned the guests to praise, and matched the young lady with Guangrui. After worshipping the heavens and the earth, the husband and wife worshipped each other, and they worshiped their father-in-law and mother-in-law. The Minister instructed him to arrange a banquet and drink a night. The two of them joined hands and entered the orchid room together.
So, is it reasonable that Man Tangjiao will not return to her mother's house for eighteen years? In fact, it is very reasonable, because she is an ancient person, not a modern person, after a woman marries out in ancient times, unless the mother's family has a major event, specially sent someone to pick up, otherwise, the married woman can not return to her mother's home by herself, I don't believe you see Jiao Zhongqing sent Liu Lanzhi back to her mother-in-law's home, what was the mother-in-law's reaction?
"Peacock Flying Southeast": Entering the family hall, there is no face in the retreat. Amu clapped her hands and did not return to herself: "Thirteen teachings of Ru weaving, fourteen can tailor clothes, fifteen bullets of the basket, sixteen know the etiquette, seventeen send Ru to marry, the predicate is not broken." What is the sin of Ru Jin, not to welcome yourself?"
See?" In ancient times, the representative woman was suspended and made a big mistake, so after the marriage of Mantangjiao, it was quite normal not to return to her mother's house for eighteen years, not to mention that it was extremely difficult to travel a long distance across thousands of mountains and rivers.
As for Chen Guangrui taking his wife out, did he take anyone with him? In fact, there was, Chen Guangrui brought a domestic servant who was responsible for carrying luggage, and was also killed by water thieves.
Guang Rui ordered the servants to carry their luggage to the boat, the husband and wife were getting on the boat together, then Liu Hong opened his eyes and saw Miss Yin's face like a full moon, eyes like autumn waves, cherry small mouths, green willow waist, really a sinking fish and falling geese, the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, steep up the wolf's heart, so he and Li Biao designed, propped the boat until there was no one, waited until the night was quiet, first killed the servants, the second time Guang Rui beat to death, and pushed the corpse into the water.
Chen Guangrui, as a scholar, naturally has a servant to serve, as for Miss Yin, it is estimated that there is a lady accompanying her, and the author is too lazy to explain. As for the officials and servants, they will only have the boundaries of Jiangzhou, and it is impossible for the minister to send his own people to them for use, which is not in accordance with the rules.
Most importantly, Liu Hong is a water thief and a god of time, Zhenguan thirteen years, years old in his own body, eighteen years is just a moment, a dream of the child is nothing more than a dream, Tang Monk is just Chen Guangrui, Tianzhu Guo is just The Tang Dynasty, throwing hydrangea balls to recruit relatives is just a round of reincarnation, nothing more than a test of the red dust calendar.
Yi Cheng said, "Good! Good! just right! Recently because of the king's princess niangniang, twenty years old, she is on the cross street, high knot color building, throwing hydrangea balls, crashing into the sky to recruit horses. Today is a lively time, I think the mainland wang grandfather has not yet retired, if you want to reverse the Guan Wen, take advantage of this time to go. The eight windows of the building were exquisite, and the princess turned her eyes to see that Tang Monk had come closer, so she took the hydrangea ball and threw it on Tang Monk's head with her own hands.
Chen Guangrui spent eighteen years in the world under the sea, and after returning, he chose to follow the dynasty and take the position of a bachelor, but Xuanzang decided to meditate after eighteen years, choosing the Western Heavens to learn the scriptures, the princess of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and he did not love it. Because the Buddha said that nature is self-sufficient, the soul mate is in yourself, and the mystery of immortality is also in the heart, and there is no need to look for it.
There are poems as evidence, poems: Monastic aspirations are very, tearing down the former En'ai Hall. Foreign objects do not give birth to idle tongues, and there is a good yin and yang in the body. After completing the work, he returned to his hometown with a clear heart.
