During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, won the admiration of everyone for his outstanding wisdom and talent. He was both wise and brave on the battlefield and made great contributions to the stability and development of the country. However, when people mention his private life, people are often confused as to why he married the ugly girl Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying is a woman with an ordinary appearance and even a mediocre appearance, but she has extraordinary intelligence and wit. She came from a family of scholars and showed excellent academic Xi at a young age. She is proficient in literature, the art of war and Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, and is known as a rare female talent in the world.
People have always been curious and puzzled about the marriage of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. Why would a wise and brave prime minister marry a mediocre-looking woman? This mystery remained unsolved until a sentence from Zhuge Liang's son, Zhuge Zhan, revealed the mystery.
When Zhuge Liang was seriously ill and about to die, he gathered officials from his family and cronies. The filial Zhuge Zhan knelt in front of the bed, holding his father's hand tightly, his tears rolling in his eyes, but he tried to restrain his sadness.
Zhuge Zhan knew that he was his father's most proud son and his successor. He knew that he would inherit his father's wisdom and responsibility. He said to Zhuge Liang in a trembling voice:
"Father, I never understood why you chose to marry Huang Yueying. The mother is not good-looking, but she is gentle and virtuous, and she is very intelligent. Tell me, why did you make such a decision?"
Zhuge Liang looked at his son with a smile, his eyes full of affection and thought. He patted Zhuge Zhan's hand lightly and said, "I once thought about the meaning and purpose of life, and I aspire to make the greatest contribution to the country and the people.
When I first met Huang Yueying, I was deeply impressed by her talent and wit. Not only did she possess far more wisdom than anyone else, but I was deeply touched by her loyalty and love for me. ”
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Marriage should not be based only on appearance, but on the fit of the heart and mutual understanding. Although Huang Yueying has a mediocre appearance, her heart is kind and pure.
She, like you, is filial, intelligent, and kind. I believe she is my best companion and we can support each other and grow together. ”
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and continued: "In addition, there is another important reason for marrying Huang Yueying as his wife. I know very well that a good marriage is not only about personal happiness, but also about the stability of the country and family.
I hope to be able to set an example and demonstrate to the entire Shu Kingdom that marriage should not only focus on appearance and external conditions, but more importantly, on internal qualities and talents.
By marrying Huang Yueying, I want to convey such values and messages from this marriage, so that people can realize that people should evaluate a person's value by their inner beauty, wisdom and quality, rather than just their external appearance. ”
Zhuge Liang's last sentence revealed the mystery of why he married the ugly girl Huang Yueying. He hopes that through this marriage, people can change their perception of marriage and beauty, and make everyone realize that what really matters is inner beauty, not the surface of appearance.
After listening to his father's explanation, the corners of Zhuge Zhan's mouth rose slightly, and tears no longer dripped down. He understood his father's intentions, and he was also proud and remorseful.
He has witnessed the wisdom and kindness of his mother Huang Yueying since he was a child, but he once had an unfair evaluation of her because of her appearance. Now, Zhuge Zhan realizes that his father's choice is right and great, and he is determined to follow his father's example and pass on the values of inner beauty.
With the death of Zhuge Liang, his marriage to Huang Yueying has become a good story that people are vying for. Their marriage is a model for many couples throughout Shu, making people realize the true meaning of marriage and the key to the problem.
Through wisdom and mutual understanding, they run a happy and harmonious family together, setting an example for their children to be physically and mentally healthy and virtuous.
And Huang Yueying has also become a well-respected female model with her intelligence and intelligence. She upholds her husband's values, is committed to educating her children, and inherits her husband's wisdom and thoughts.
In her later years, she published a book about her husband Zhuge Liang's wisdom and military strategy, which was hailed as a book of wisdom and widely disseminated Zhuge Liang's wisdom and marriage philosophy.
