Text / Zhang Xiaonuan
Wen Yanjing swore in front of Sheng Hong and the eldest lady: Even if seven or eight princesses look at me in the future, I will not be moved.
But the reality is that Wen Yanjing was restless not long after he was released.
In the original work, Hualan said this:
The sixth brother-in-law treated the sixth sister as eyeballs, held it in his mouth for fear of melting, held it in his hand for fear of falling, and refused to separate for a moment. The fifth brother-in-law had to beat from time to time. A while ago, the fifth brother-in-law's upper peak gave a beautiful concubine, and the fifth sister made a lot of trouble, and finally had to agree.
The vow Gu Tingye made in front of Minglan has been fulfilled, Gu Tingye is the oldest in the pile of men, Minglan is the old few in the pile of women, Gu Tingye said that he only loved Minglan in his life, and he also did it. In the original work, it is said that he gave the two beauties given to him by the king of the clan, and then gave them to the pawns who could not marry his daughter-in-law, and only Minglan was in his eyes.
But Wen Yanjing's oath in front of the old man moved a place and left it behind.
I think at the beginning, his love was better than Jin Jian, and it could not withstand scrutiny, more like a play directed and acted by himself, only Rulan was fascinated and entered the game.
fame
When Minglan learned that the man who Rulan's private meeting at night was Wen Yanjing, which was the object that Sheng Hong promised to Mo Lan, Minglan cursed on the spot: He is shameless, he lost the marriage of his fourth sister, so he came to pester you.
Rulan retorted: Brother Jing is a down-to-earth gentleman, and besides, he saw me first. At the beginning, my father chose him to be the son-in-law of the fourth sister, and specially invited him to come to the house to drink tea, it was that time, I lost the kerchief in the garden, Brother Wen happened to pass by, he thought I was a little female envoy, so he helped me pick up the kerchief. Later, he came a few more times, and every time I waited for him in the garden, I thought of saying a few more words to him. He said I was good-looking, very comfortable to look at, and very open.
In fact, when Rulan said these words to Minglan at that time, Minglan questioned, and Wen Yanjing's words made sense of deceiving Rulan.
Wen Yanjing's words simply could not withstand scrutiny.
First, Rulan is a concubine of the Sheng family, the eldest lady can't wait to drap the most expensive mink on her little daughter, Rulan's dress must look gold and noble, in terms of wearing, how can it look like a little female envoy?
Second, Rulan is ruthless in the Sheng family, and she loves to put on the head of the concubine, and she has to use the concubine to press Mo Lan's head everywhere, so, judging from the temperament emanating from her body, how can it be a little female envoy?
Just these two points, in Wen Yanjing's heart, there has long been a score. However, in order to show his love for Rulan, he will definitely say things like "I love you and your identity has nothing to do with it", who will be stupid enough to say "I love you because you are a concubine of the Sheng family".
Moreover, from the conversation between Rulan and Minglan, it can also be seen that Wen Yanjing is really a master of the love scene, and he is very treacherous.
Rulan said to Minglan: Later, he knew that I was the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, and my father asked him to marry a daughter, and he also wrote me a letter, and he will never see me again.
However, when Wen Yanjing and Mo Lan's marriage was abandoned the day after his marriage, his love letter arrived in Rulan's hands again, and he successfully pinched Rulan again, which shows how clever Wen Yanjing is in prying his sister.
When Wen Yanjing refused Rulan, he said "the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker", showing that he knew the general body; The marriage with Mo Lan was abandoned, and when he catered to Ru Lan, he said "I still love you and can't let go", showing that he was sincere.
This treacherous emotional intelligence, taking down Rulan, this silly girl, is not a matter of minutes.
Rulan really loves Wen Yanjing, Minglan once advised her to be psychologically prepared, the eldest lady will not agree to beating to death, not to mention, Wen Yanjing is Mo Lan picked the rest.
But Rulan said categorically: If my mother does not agree, I will be killed head-on. If one person pretends to be another person in his heart, he can do anything.
This is not enough, Rulan is going to die and live for him. Perhaps, Rulan looked at Wen Yanjing above because she liked this person, but she didn't know that Wen Yanjing's liking for her and his love for her were not so pure.
Take him colluding with Gu Tingye and deliberately letting people find out about this when he had a private meeting with Rulan, this is a bet on Rulan's name, and it is so ugly to spread it.
Has he ever thought about what to do if the Sheng family still does not want Rulan to marry him after the matter is revealed? This can ruin the girl's innocence for a lifetime.
He colluded with Gu Tingye, wouldn't he be a little too self-sufficient. Gu Tingye has the ability and ability to clean up the mess, does he have it? If the Sheng family bites to death and does not marry Rulan, then he will harm Rulan for a lifetime.
Using Rulan's name as a bargaining chip to bet on your emotions and desires is too selfish to love.
Perhaps, Wen Yanjing has long grasped Sheng Hong's mind, Sheng Hong knows that this little daughter is not suitable for marrying into the Gaomen compound, and marrying a small family may be happy.
After marrying Rulan, Wen Yanjing's quality of life has improved significantly.
House, future
The Wang family bought Rulan a large mansion with two in three openings on the outskirts of Beijing, and now it is a large flat floor, and some female envoys and mothers-in-law have been purchased.
Wen Yanjing naturally took his mother and brother to live in a big house.
Mo Lan once joked Ru Lan and said: I just have no income, but also rely on the husband's family to live diligently, unlike some people, who still take the dowry to support the man's family, no wonder people say that their daughter is a loss of money.
For the sake of this big mansion, Old Lady Sheng also scolded the big lady. Knowing that Rulan's mother-in-law is not a sensible person, knowing that Rulan and this mother-in-law are not together, she has to buy a big mansion for Rulan, such a spacious residence, the mother-in-law naturally takes her younger son to live in.
If the eldest lady really thinks about Rulan, she should buy a small mansion, enough for her and Wen Yan to live respectfully, when the mother-in-law sees that the place is small, she will be embarrassed to squeeze in, so that the life of the little two will be more comfortable.
When the eldest lady heard this, she suddenly realized, however, she regretted it.
Sure enough, after the mother-in-law lived in the big mansion, it was difficult everywhere.
Either punishing Rulan station rules, or deliberately stuffing a room for her son's house, and deliberately giving Wen Yanjing a concubine while Rulan was pregnant and unable to serve Wen Yanjing.
Rulan once said to Minglan: I just thought that before I went to visit my eldest sister in the Earl's Mansion and saw her evil mother-in-law, I said at that time, if I live such a grievance in the future, then I would rather be an old sister-in-law for the rest of my life!
In order to live comfortably, Rulan is the only girl in the Sheng family who marries, but she still hasn't escaped her mother-in-law's ugly face, perhaps, it is normal in life that things backfire.
Just like Minglan said, if I am a blessed person, even if I am Gao Pan, I will live comfortably; If I am a blessed person, even if I marry low, my life will still be bumpy.
Rulan did not call a single place, and went home to complain to the eldest lady.
The old lady gave advice to the eldest lady: ask Brother Bo to talk to the fifth aunt, tell him to be smarter, if the old lady and his wife have a conflict, he can distinguish right from wrong, there is no need to favor either side, what to do... Hmph, speaking of which, our Sheng family has had a daughter who has been separated from each other!
The so-called let Wen Yan respect reasoning is to let him not face his own mother, after all, his mother has never been reasonable.
Since then, no matter what the disagreement between Rulan and her mother-in-law is, Wen Yanjing will always hide and no one will help. He felt that to dodge is not to face his mother, but to help Rulan? This point, we have to mention Changbai.
Wen Yanjing and Changbai are also the pillars of the family, they are also married to a Gaomen girl, and their own mother is also difficult to deal with, but Changbai can protect the Hai clan in front of the eldest lady, Wen Yanjing can't.
What is true love for a woman? It is to defend her all the time, that is, to do something between the contradictions between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, rather than to hide quietly.
The big lady was able to get along with the Hai clan in the end, and a large part of the reason was that Changbai defended the Hai clan, and the big lady did not dare to make a second. And Rulan's mother-in-law embarrassed Rulan repeatedly, in large part because Wen Yanjing was caught in the middle and did nothing, and always hid when encountering things.
Rulan is born simple and doesn't want much. She used to show off in front of Minglan like she had won, and whenever she had a conflict with her mother-in-law, Wen Yanjing would hide from Hanlin Courtyard to work overtime, as if Wen Yanjing's avoidance was already a great help to Rulan.
On the career path, Changbai and Sheng Hong also gave Wen Yanjing great help, of course, this is also inseparable from Wen Yanjing's own efforts.
But the reality is that there is no shortage of hard working people in this world, the same opportunity, there are hundreds of people with equal qualifications to compete, but in the end, it is often people who work hard and have connections who can win this opportunity.
It cannot be said that a marriage with a picture is shameful, Wen Yanjing likes Rulan, loves Rulan, but if you can still get something in this person you like and love, or material, or future, it will not be the best of both worlds.
Jia Pingwo once said: marriage is a cooperation, there is no need to make love look, remember, love will disappear. The bottom men in order to continue the incense, the middle men in order to find helpers, the upper men in order to find strong teammates, scumbags just want you to help the poor.
Obviously, Wen Yanjing is a middle-level man, looking for helpers, and Rulan's family background is the booster of his life and career; And Gu Tingye is looking for strong teammates, he is fighting for his career outside, and Ming Lan is a huge intertwined family internally.
Concubinage
In the original work, it is written that Wen Yan took concubines twice.
The first time she took a concubine, it was the mother-in-law who forced Wen Yan to stuff women in the house in order to be angry as Lan.
At that time, Rulan was pregnant, did not cry, did not make trouble, but stood quietly in the rain crying, like a jealous and dazed little woman, deeply in love with her husband can not extricate herself, because she is afraid that her husband will change his heart and do not know what to do.
Although she was extremely aggrieved in her heart at that time, she wanted Wen Yanjing's vow to be so categorical and only loved her, but now, because she was pregnant and could not serve left and right, she wanted to take a concubine, if she didn't stop it, the concubine would have already entered Wen Yanjing's arms.
Despite the thousands of angers in her heart, Rulan did not learn from her mother, to force her husband not to take a concubine, let alone beat and scold the concubine, let her stay away from her husband, but thought of Aunt Lin, she learned to show weakness from Aunt Lin, only talk about feelings, and say nothing else.
Rulan's move completely broke Wen Yanjing's defense, and he deeply felt that he could not bear such a woman who had deep feelings for him in this life.
At that time, she had just gotten married, and Rulan was still very rare in her heart, so the thought of sharing her husband with other women was unacceptable.
As far as men are concerned, they finally have a good life, have money to spend, have houses to live in, have officials, and do not take advantage of the early happiness and happiness.
The second time he took a concubine was when Wen Yanjing was released to Quanzhou as an official.
Shangfeng sent Wen Yanjing a beautiful concubine, and Wen Yanjing wanted it very much, otherwise he would not have made trouble with Rulan for this.
The trouble is noisy, the quarrel is also noisy, Rulan is not as tough as she was at the beginning this time, she honored Wen Yan for this beautiful concubine and fulfilled Wen Yanjing's beautiful dream.
First, Rulan has two children, her mind has long been not completely on Wen Yanjing, she still loves Wen Yanjing, but she is really not as dead as she was at the beginning.
At the beginning, she married this person, the picture is that he can be devoted to her, financially can not catch up with Mo Lan to marry well, she must crush Mo Lan in the degree of emotional happiness, but in the end, she understood that if a man wants to change his heart, you can't stop it at all, instead of guarding a smelly skin, it is better to keep two children.
How dishonest Wen Yanjing was after being released, the words of the original Zhonghualan have long exposed the truth. She said Wen Yanjing needed to "beat all the time" in matters between men and women.
Second, Rulan wanted to make the relationship between husband and wife unharmonious because of a concubine, so that her children would live in an environment where her father and mother were not in harmony since childhood.
Sometimes, for the sake of children, turn a blind eye, and life can go on. Moreover, Wen Yanjing is still very responsible for her.
To say, Wen Yanjing is really the biggest winner among the four sons-in-law of the Sheng family.
Through a marriage, a house, a career, and finally did not leave a beautiful concubine.
And Rulan, but did not get a pure feeling that she wanted at the beginning, in the end, the material was not on the map, the feelings were not on the map, and she ended up being ridiculed by Mo Lan.
I am reminded of this passage from the original book:
The lifestyle of ancient women is the wisest. Manage your property well, ensure a good material foundation, and then love yourself, love your children, love your kind mother's family, occasionally love a little man, not too much, you won't be sad until he finds another woman, and the lower limit is that you can show affection to him just right without feeling disgusting.
Perhaps, at the beginning, it will be light, and the back will not be too sad, after all, you don't know whether this person you meet is worth your love than Jin Jian's efforts.
