Fu Jin | Zhu Yizun's wife Feng Fuzhen

Speaking of Zhu Yizun, it is impossible not to mention his wife Feng Fuzhen.

Feng Fuzhen was the father Feng Zhending who gave birth to his first child at the age of forty. A middle-aged woman, Feng Zhending regarded her as a pearl in his hand. When she was five years old, her father hired a teacher surnamed Chen for her. Compared with the girls of the same generation, Feng Fuzhen was well educated, which provided great convenience for her to communicate with her husband who was on the go in the future.

Feng Fuzhen has been clever and clever since childhood, and has been deeply praised by relatives and neighbors. These words reached the ears of Zhu Yizun's mother, Tang Ruren, and she asked the matchmaker to go to the Feng family to propose to her son.

When Feng Zhending heard about the current situation of the Zhu family, he hesitated, so the Zhu family at that time had long faded the aura of the ancestor Zhu Guozuo as a university scholar and a prime minister, and became indistinguishable from ordinary people's families. Coincidentally, on this night, Feng Zhending suddenly had a very clear dream, in which Zhu Guozuo, dressed in imperial clothes, came to feng's house, and smiled and gave up his hand to sit. The next day, when the matchmaker came again to ask for news, Feng Zhending agreed to the family affair. Since the Zhu family could not even afford the dowry, they had to let Zhu Yizun enter the Feng family.

Feng Fuzhen married in the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Feng Fuzhen was 15 years old, and Zhu Yizun was two years older than her. At this time, at a time when the Ming and Qing dynasties were in chaos, in order to avoid the disasters of soldiers and bandits, the Feng and Zhu families moved and fled many times. Four years later, in the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649), Zhu Yizun began to become a teacher. At this time, the Feng family had moved to Meili, and their lives were slightly stable. It was also at this time that Zhu Yizun met many like-minded friends, who often exchanged poems and exchanged ideas with each other. Fill in the words and write poems, and drink alcohol to help entertain. But Zhu's friends are some poor and acid literati, who have spare money to buy wine and meat, Zhu Yizun is also a meager income, and it is very difficult to live at home. Zhu Yizun could only go to the pawnshop to do some ordinary things with his friends, which was used as money for wine and food.

Feng Fuzhen received a good tutor, and treated her husband's friends with warm hospitality, facing Zhu Yizun's frequent pawnshops and household possessions, and would never accuse in front of people, always letting Zhu Yizun's friends come with pleasure and return happy. When they all left, they picked up the broken cups and chopsticks, and they were busy. After that, he quietly sold some of his jewelry and redeemed the cotton robes and jackets that her husband had left in the pawnshop. However, a few days later, a group of Zhu Yizun's friends came to the party again, and Zhu Yizun had no choice but to send the clothes and robes that his wife had just redeemed to the pawnshop for wine and meat meals. Again and again, Feng Fuzhen had some complaints, but fortunately, at that time, the Merissa weaving industry was very developed, and Feng Fuzhen relied on spinning fabrics to exchange some copper tungsten and went to the pawnshop again to redeem it.

Feng Fuzhen's eldest son, Dewan, died early, and the second son, Zhu Kuntian, was born in the ninth year of Shunzhi (1652). In the third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1664), Zhu Yizun went to Shanxi to serve as an aide, and all the burdens of the family were on The woman Feng Fuzhen.

Feng Fuzhen led her two daughters to spin and weave cloth day and night to pay for Zhu Kuntian's education. Feng Fuzhen preferred to reduce his ability to eat and wear, and treat his son's husband like a guest. At night, Feng Fuzhen spun yarn while listening to her son recite the articles he had learned during the day. Feng Fuzhen also tried to get a famous post, prepared pen and ink paper, and asked her son to copy it with his heart and carefully ponder the mystery. In the face of some stupid disciples teasing, the young Zhu Kuntian inevitably had some heart, and Feng Fuzhen severely reprimanded him, not allowing his son to cross the thunder pond for half a step.

Zhu Yizun was away for many years and rarely returned home, and the dowry and marriage affairs of his two daughters were handled by Feng Fuzhen. Until the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1669), when his son Zhu Kuntian got married, Zhu Yizun finally returned home and handled his son's marriage with Feng Fuzhen. In the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1679), ten years after the marriage of his son Kuntian, Zhu Yi honored the erudite Hongru, taught the Hanlin Academy to review, and entered the History Museum to revise the History of Ming. It was only at this time that Feng Fuzhen was picked up by her husband. Soon, the Kangxi Emperor conferred the title of Qunchen, and Zhu Yi was given the title of Zheng Shilang (征士郎) and Feng Fuzhen (冯福贞) as a Feng Ruren. After all the hardships and hardships, Feng Fuzhen finally felt the glory brought to her by her husband. On New Year's Day of the twenty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1684), the Kangxi Emperor held a banquet to entertain his subjects, and Zhu Yizun was also invited. After the banquet, the emperor sympathized with the family of the speaker of the day, and specially gave two tables of precious food and good fruits to Feng Ruren, and Feng Fuzhen performed the ceremony of three prostrations and nine prayers.

The good times did not last long, and in the thirty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1692), Zhu Yizun, who had been in the eunuch sea several times, was deposed again, and Feng Fuzhen returned to his hometown with her husband Jun. The boats and cars along the way made the elderly Feng Fuzhen fall ill. After returning home, Feng Fuzhen was hit twice in succession. It turned out that Feng Fuzhen's birth mother had been ill and died for a long time, but the family hid from her, and after learning the murder news that her mother had died, Feng Fuzhen was very sad, and since then she has not thought about tea and dinner, and has been bedridden. Soon, someone came to tell Feng Fuzhen that the tomb tree on the grave of her father Feng Zhending had been cut down. Receiving this information, Feng Fuzhen cried out incessantly, and since then the hundred medicines have been ineffective and dying.

In February of the thirty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1694), Feng Fuzhen, who was sixty-four years old, was already skinny, tearfully holding the hand of his son Zhu Kuntian and saying with difficulty: Your father has been running around for many years, when you were young, I taught you to write and read, hoping that you would revive your ancestral cause. After saying that, Feng Fuzhen was already breathing heavily, and after closing his eyes for a long time, Feng Fuzhen tearfully sighed on the pillow: "This may be fate!" After saying this, Zhu Kuntian had already burst into tears, and at this moment, Zhu Kuntian felt that his mother's dry hand had fallen down...
