Liu Lanzhi's gentleness and chastity, "since ancient times, beauty has been unlucky", when people read this sentence, they are mostly associated with power and fame. In fact, this sentence also applies to ordinary families and ordinary people.
Liu Lanzhi was a small jasper in Lujiang County at the end of Han Dynasty. She "can weave at the age of thirteen, tailor at the age of fourteen, play the piano at the age of fifteen and recite poems at the age of sixteen". It seems that she is a well-educated and versatile girl. At the age of seventeen, she married Jiao Zhongqing, a civil servant in Lujiang County. Jiao's family has a simple population. Apart from her husband, there are only a widowed mother and a sister-in-law, which is considered a well-off family in the local area. After being married to Jiao's family, she got up early and went to bed late, doing housework: carrying water, cooking, washing clothes and weaving, and being busy all day, keeping the family of four in order. Jiao Zhongqing saw it in his eyes and enjoyed it in his heart. After work, he secretly beside his wife, whispering, saying love words. Occasionally, he plays the guzheng and sings a song gently. The couple are loving and happy, and the neighbors are envious of the beautiful young couple, but they are very unhappy. Jiao Mu began to unreasonably increase the workload of her daughter-in-law, then criticized her daughter-in-law in every way, and finally completely lost her rationality. She thinks that her daughter-in-law is simply a fox who destroys the harmonious atmosphere of Jiao's family, forcing her son to take Liu Lanzhi back to her family. At that time, Jiao Mu wanted to go to Liu Lanzhi because her daughter-in-law had no manners and loved to make her own decisions, which made my old man unhappy. This seems to be a big joke today, but it was an important reason in ancient times. In ancient times, there was a so-called "seven out", and anyone who met any of them could divorce his wife. "The Book of Rites, the Core Monument of Life" records: "A woman has seven things to do: disobeying her parents, not having children, going whoring, being jealous, getting sick, talking too much and stealing." From a psychological point of view, Jiao's mother has been widowed for many years, and it has become a long-standing habit for the mother and son to live alone. Suddenly there was a daughter-in-law in the family, and the situation that the mother and son lived alone suddenly changed, and they lost their psychological balance and took it out on her. At that time, Jiao Zhongqing thought there was nothing wrong with his wife's behavior. Why didn't she get her mother's love? He objected to his mother's doing so and swore in front of her: "If I send my daughter-in-law, I will never marry again in my life!" However, Jiao Mu used the last killer mace, a snot and a tear, threatening her death. At the last minute, Jiao Zhongqing was defeated and gave in to her mother's wishes.
That night, the husband and wife were in tears until dawn. Jiao Zhongqing explained his embarrassing situation again and again, and promised that the situation would certainly improve with the passage of time, and encouraged his wife to wait patiently for a while and come back to meet him in a few days. However, Liu Lanzhi dare not make such extravagant hopes. It was a farewell gesture, and she cried like a crybaby. Youzi reminded her husband to give away all the women's articles left behind, such as embroidery, skirts, bucket curtains, sachets, toilet boxes, silk ropes, etc., so as not to leave them behind and increase her distress.
Tears haven't dried yet. It's almost dawn. Liu Lanzhi was outraged and got up to tidy up. When she was wearing socks, every little thing was repeated four or five times, each time affecting her infinite affection for her husband, and she wanted to say goodbye. She walked out the door leisurely and said goodbye to Jiao Mu. She is serious and well dressed, which is a protest against her mother. However, this holy expression turned into tears when saying goodbye to my sister-in-law. In front of her sister-in-law, who is both a woman and a peer, she is miserable. She's leaving, and she can't bear to leave this house!
Time to go. A carriage carrying Liu Lanzhi left Jiao's house, and Jiao Zhongqing followed the car on a white horse, walking again and again. Every turn of the wheel is like crushing two broken hearts, and I feel pain involuntarily. Jiao Zhongqing dismounted and got into the car, and the two embraced and wept, once again swearing to heaven that they would never be negative; "You are like a rock, and my concubine is like Pu Wei. Pu Wei is like silk, and the rock has not moved. " It means the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, two of a kind. Never change your mind. When you get home, it's time to break up. "Raise your hand and work hard."
However, the development of things is always independent of human will. When Liu Lanzhi came home, her kind mother looked at her daughter who was in a dilemma and was very sad. However, Liu Lanzhi also has a grumpy brother. For elder brother, Liu Lanzhi had psychological preparation. On the way home, she knew: "I have my own father and brother, and my sex is violent." I'm afraid I can't do what I want to do, so I'll blow up my arm. "
Sure enough, after Liu Lanzhi returned home, the first thing was that the county magistrate sent the media to seek relatives and friends for his third son who had just turned eighteen. As a mother, she understood her daughter's feelings and declined under her daughter's pleading. Soon, the satrap asked Xiancheng to propose to his fifth young master. When the mother was ready to decline for her daughter again, her brother stepped in. In the old society, eldest brother took the place of father, and the family was dominated by men, so she agreed to this marriage, accepted the employment, chose a good day and prepared to meet her. Liu Lanzhi was silent, just covered her mouth with a towel and began to cry, tears streaming down her face. The so-called "pickling day is dying, and he is worried about going out to cry."
When he heard the news of remarriage, he rushed to the Liu family. It's already dusk, and Ma Si's voice is the sadness in his heart. I saw that the "Lu Qing" had been set up in front of the door. It was a tent with big curtains, which was used by the bride for the night before she left home. Seeing Liu Lanzhi, Jiao Zhongqing said angrily, "I am like a stone, which will not move for a thousand years, but what about the toughness of your Puwei?"? Why did everything change one day and one night? Our pledge of eternal love! I can only congratulate you on climbing the high branch and getting better every day. " Liu Lanzhi was heartbroken and sobbed and said, "Life is unhappy, and it's a long story. Why do you talk like that? " ! I am persecuted like you, and only death will show my ambition. "Liu Lanzhi ran back to Lu Qing with tears, and Jiao Zhongqing turned his horse's head in despair and set foot on his way home. All kinds of hardships in the world are sweet, and there is no death or division.
At that time, it was already the winter season, and the cold wind devastated the trees and the leaves fell. Gradually, at dusk in buddhist nun, it was quiet, the moonlight was cold and there was frost everywhere. Occasionally, one or two lonely birds moan in the air. Liu Lanzhi stumbled out of Lu Qing, jumped into the pond outside the village when people were unprepared, and explained the loyalty of love with her life.
When Jiao Zhongqing returned to his home over there, he went to the church to pay homage to his mother and said some farewell words: "You can't enjoy your knees, please take care of yourself." . His confused and overbearing mother is still comforting him: "You are a big family and an official in Taige. You should be careful not to become a woman's death, so you have no sense of dignity. The master has a virtuous daughter, graceful and beautiful. My mother is looking for you, and she will be in danger. " No matter how her mother encouraged her, Jiao was determined to die at this time, so she couldn't listen. Wandering in the yard that night, crows flew in droves after midnight. Jiao Zhongqing knows the difference and thinks that his beloved wife has been double suicide, waiting for him to walk with him on the road to the grave! So he took off his belt, tied it to a branch of the court and hanged himself.
In Liu Lanzhi, there is a rich mansion with "a golden chariot and a jade wheel, a green horse and a golden saddle", and it is amazing to die for love.
