Different Zeng Guofan: The thirteenth time Ouyang out of the book Xiangmen Di Bingyu Feng Cultivating people's homes

Zeng Guofan's original match, compound surname Ouyang, name Bingyu, later known as Lady Ouyang.

Zeng Zicheng (国藩), in the traditional society, passed the age of twenty before getting married, which is considered to be very late. It is said that a person who has no physical defects, whose intelligence is normal, and whose family is wealthy, should not be so late. What is the reason for such "abnormality"?

When Zeng Zicheng was studying and enlightened, he first studied with his father at a private school. Because of grandpa Zeng Yuping's foresight, he was afraid of delaying his grandson, so he didn't want his grandson to study with his son, who had taken the exam seventeen times and barely won the Xiucai until the age of 43. From the provincial capital of Changsha, he invited a gentleman named Chen Yanmen to teach him primary school.

If he was older, he was sent to Lianhu Academy in Hengyang to learn from Ouyang Ningzhi, who was very famous in Hengyang and Xiangxiang. This person is familiar with his father Zeng Lin's books, and he likes it very much. As a result, he taught what he had learned in his lifetime, and Zeng Zicheng's studies made great progress.

Ouyang Ningzhi decided that this son would become a great instrument in the future, and he was more interested in cultivating it. For him to have a better future, try to pave the way for him. Therefore, he wanted to find a powerful backer for him through marriage, so he helped him find the Wang family in Hengzhou. The Wang family, hindered by Ouyang's prestige and affection, agreed to the affair.

In the feudal era, the door was right, and the Wang family was naturally no exception. After a long time, the Wang family did not get any news on Zeng Zicheng's meritorious name, and learned that the Zeng family was not a famous and prestigious family, so they had the intention of repenting, but they did not tell it in time.

As he grew older, on the auspicious day when the two sides "agreed", Zeng Zicheng went to the Wang family with a generous gift to greet his relatives, and Fang knew that the Wang family repented of marriage. On that day, the Zeng family had already gathered guests and prepared a wine banquet, just waiting for the bride to drink as soon as she arrived. But the royal family refused to let the bride get on the car.

At this point, it was a hurry to spoil the Zeng family, and Teacher Ouyang was also like an ant on a hot pot. In case of poor handling, not to mention the loss of the Zeng family's face, Ouyang Ningzhi would also be a teacher in this life.

At this point, Ouyang Ning was anxious to be wise and calculated, so he said to Zeng Zicheng: "The teacher's next daughter, who looks ordinary, if you are not suspicious, you will immediately take her and become a relative." Zeng Zicheng also knew that the teacher had a daughter named Bingyu, who knew the book Andari, only because of smallpox, there were some numb spots on his face.

At this time, in order to take care of the overall situation, he immediately expressed his willingness to marry the teacher's beloved daughter. In this way, Zeng Zicheng's big wedding surprise turned the crisis into safety. Then a flash marriage was staged, and he became the dragon-riding son-in-law of the mentor. It can be said that the incident has become a good thing, and the good story has been passed down in later generations.

Although Lady Ouyang's posture is not outstanding, she is knowledgeable and courteous, virtuous and diligent. For several years, she not only served the elderly, but also busied herself with pigs and vegetables, never complaining bitterly and tired, and did not have the squeamishness of everyone from the Scholarly Mendi.

According to Zeng Jize, the eldest son of Zeng Guofan, he said that during the three years that his great-grandfather Zeng Yuping was bedridden, his parents "did not taste a pillow", and they were recognized by the neighbors as a good wife and mother, and a good granddaughter-in-law who was unparalleled in the local area.

For more than ten years after marriage, Zeng Guofan and Lady Ouyang were separated from each other, and Zeng Jize was also raised by her. It was not until 1840 that Zeng Jize was brought to Beijing for a reunion. During his more than ten years in Beijing, he gave birth to five daughters and three sons. In the second year of Xianfeng, Zeng Guofan was commissioned to preside over the Jiangxi Township Examination, and the Ouyang clan returned to their hometown in Xiangxiang with their children until 1863, when they stayed with Zeng Guofan's official residence.

Later, Zeng Guofan was transferred to the viceroy of Zhili, and went to the capital to see Cixi, and specifically asked about his wife. Since then, Lady Ouyang has been successively named Lady Yipin, Lady Yipinhou, And Lady Yipinhou, etc., and finally enjoyed all the glory.

Although the Ouyang clan was a lady of the dynasty, she had always lived a simple life, and throughout her life there was only a pair of jadeite and a pearl. Even after the death of Zeng Guofan (1872), Lady Ouyang continued to cultivate and study the style of diligence and frugality until the end (1874), and was deeply respected and loved by the Zeng government before and after her death.
