I don't know if you have ever heard the Internet buzzword "appearance is justice", which means that as long as you look good enough, then what you say and do is right! Although this statement sounds a bit exaggerated, in real life, this phenomenon is indeed widespread, to give a very simple example, two people make the same mistake at the same time, but the one who looks beautiful will often be forgiven first.
The protagonist in today's story is a big beauty, when the wife knew of her existence, she brought her men to "kill the door", and as a result, the wife saw her face, she was instantly fascinated, and she couldn't get her hands on it at all, and from then on, a well-known idiom was born, and we will talk about this interesting story below.
Time back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty more than 1600 years ago, the Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Yan gave his sister Sima Xingnan xu to the talented son Huan Wen, this man was born into a famous family, after the Eastern Han Dynasty famous Ru Huanrong, proficient in piano and chess calligraphy and painting, and was also born very handsome, extraordinary demeanor, indeed a "good husband" candidate, in this way, The Princess Sima Xingnan of Nankang married him, and Huan Wen was also promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of The Horse.
For her husband, Sima Xingnan was also very satisfied, at the beginning of the marriage, the feelings of the husband and wife were also quite harmonious, you and I, and Huan Wen, who married the emperor's sister, the official path was also smooth, and later became a general of the auxiliary state, in the days that followed, Huan Wen sent troops to the Northern Expedition 3 times and made great achievements.
When Huan Wen led his troops into Shu to fight against Chenghan, the Chenghan Emperor Li Shi immediately surrendered, this greedy and fearful emperor, in order to save his own life, actually took the initiative to "sacrifice" his sister to Huan Wen, at first, Huan Wen wanted to refuse, after all, "the family has a humble wife", but after seeing Li's face, he was shaken, this woman, but "the first beauty in Shu", said Huan Wen was not moved, it must be deceitful.
In this way, Huan Wen brought Li Back home, but Huan Wen did not dare to let his wife Sima Xingnan know, so he secretly placed Li in the study. However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, this matter is still known to Sima Xingnan, she is a grumpy lord, without saying a word, with dozens of maids, carrying a knife rushed to the study, ready to "unload eight pieces" of this woman.
With a loud noise, Sima Xingnan kicked open the door, at this time Li Shi was combing his hair, looking at the menacing Princess Nankang, Li Shi did not panic at all, but calmly got up, said: "I have broken the country and my family is dead, and I am reluctant to come here." If I can be killed by you today, I will follow my wishes. ”
Looking at the woman in front of her, Sima Xingnan was stunned at that time, only to see Li Shi's soft long hair hanging on the ground, her complexion was as radiant as white jade, her eyes seemed to have tears, ChuChu was moving, and she was so humble when she opened her mouth.
Sima Xingnan immediately threw away the knife in his hand, stepped forward to shake Li's hand, and said, "I see Ru Yi pity, not to mention the old slave!" (I'm still sad to see you so beautiful, let alone those stinky men!) The idiom "I see juju pity" was born, and Sima Xingnan not only spared Li Shi, but also regarded her as his good sister.
After telling this story, I really can't help but sigh again that "appearance is justice" sincerely does not deceive me!
