" returns the king's pearl to tears, wishing we could meet before we were married." This means that the marriage between two people is too short. They were already married when they met each other, and they are destined not to be together. Women care a lot about their marriage. They would rather find a poor man who is affectionate and righteous than just trust him for the rest of his life. For a woman, getting married is her second reincarnation, so you can’t be careful!
When a widow remarries, she attaches great importance to the man's character, fearing that he will not meet the right person. There was a widow who refused to get married and said, "Wild flowers can be found every year unless they are planted." The scholar who admired her replied that it was wonderful and successfully brought about a happy marriage.
In the Yuan Dynasty widows were very common
In ancient times, widows remarried, which may have been greatly affected in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Three Obediences and Four Virtues restrained women. Relatively speaking, in the Han ruling dynasty, there were more rules. It was believed that widows should observe chastity memorials. Even if her husband leaves him no heirs, he must remain a widow at home.
However, this practice does not seem to be very common in ethnic minority dynasties. Their views on marriage and love are more enlightened than ours. The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Mongols . The Mongols were also relatively open to the marriage system. It is okay for a widow to remarry at will. It is a social custom and others will not look down upon it. In the novels of the Yuan Dynasty, widows are highly visible characters, and in some cases they become a characteristic of a dynasty.
This kind of view represents modern people. Why can a man have three wives and four concubines, but a widow cannot remarry? For women, what is wrong with trying to find a good home for themselves? The Tan Ji'er in the Yuan drama " Wangjiang Pavilion " is the representative of this woman, who is brave and resourceful and dares to fight for her own happiness.
Unfortunately, she became a widow.
Tan Ji'er was very handsome when he was young. In those days, he had to choose from thousands of husbands. When he met a scholar, he lived a good life. Unexpectedly, something bad happened, her husband died suddenly, and she became a widow at a young age. After observing her husband's mourning for three years, she began to think about finding a good man to whom she would entrust her life to, and did not want to entrust her to him for the rest of her life.
Because the woman is outstandingly beautiful and talented, most men look down upon her. Therefore, those who had a little wealth at home took the initiative to propose marriage, but they were all rejected. Tan Ji'er didn't know at this time that while picking others, others were also "picking" her. This man's name is Arhun, and he is the son of a Mongolian official. His father is a high-ranking official in the court. This boy relies on his father's power to do many bad things. After
came to the local area, he heard about Tan Ji'er's name and wanted to take her as a concubine. But Tan disagreed. Arhun saw that the obvious one was not coming, so he wanted to use the secret method. If the other party did not agree, he would go to the government to "frame" her, so that she could not bear the consequences. Telling the truth was very common in the Yuan Dynasty. Dou E's injustice was not something that happened in that era. In this case, how big is the external pressure that Tan Ji'er faces? He must find a way to solve the matter.
She is not a woman who is willing to "sit back and wait for death". She understands in her heart that Alhun is not terrible, and his father is behind the scenes. This man is considered a powerful person in Mongolia, and he still has a sword given by the emperor at home. Although his son is unhappy, Arhun's father has hope for his son. On the day he went to serve as an official in another place, he directly gave the sword to the other party, which made Arhun even more arrogant.
Accidentally met the person he admired
Tan Ji'er knew that the Shang Fang sword was very important in order to bring down Arhun, so he decided to find a way to steal the sword. So she dressed up as a peasant woman and came to serve the other party. , the interesting thing is that Alhun has never met the other party. Seeing that this woman is good-looking, he is naturally very good. Tan Ji'er took the opportunity to get him drunk and stole the sword. When Arhun woke up, he only remembered a beautiful woman, but he didn't know who she was.
This sword is a gift from the Holy One. If it is lost, it will be a death penalty, so naturally I am very anxious. He didn't care about Tan Ji's affairs, so he used this method of "driving trouble to the east" very cleverly.But Tan Ji'er knew that it was inappropriate to keep Shang Fang's sword around him, so he decided to hide the sword in the temple. At this time, there was a scholar Shi living in the ancient temple. This man was about to take the exam. In order to save money, he came to the ruined temple to "deal with" and stay for one night. The two met for the first time, and Tan said his name in panic. After
came to the city and heard about Tan Ji'er's beauty and learned about the woman's deeds, he fell in love with her very much. He had a good literary talent since he was a child. He passed the scholar examination at the age of 19 and wanted to marry Tan Ji'er. But at this time, Tan didn't have any good impressions of him. The first time he saw her, his demented look made her think that he was a philanderer. So he politely refused, and Shi Xiucai didn't pay much attention to it.
At this time, he heard that the commander in the city was good, so he took the initiative to "recommend himself", and the other party also appreciated him very much. The two got in touch, and when they heard about Tan Ji'er and Shi Xiucai, they wanted to bring them together. Tan heard that commanded to see her, and thought this was an opportunity to deal with Alhun, and deliberately let them see the Shangfang sword left outside. At this time, Arkhun's father was looking for the sword in a hurry and did not see his colleagues. Tan Ji'er took the opportunity to report the wrong things done by the other party to the commander one by one. Naturally, he would be punished.
The two people "matched wits and courage"
In this way, the Arhun family was punished, and Tan Jier faced a crisis, but it was resolved smoothly, and he was naturally relieved. At this time, Shi Xiucai understood that this scene was directed and performed by Tan Ji'er, and he admired her intelligence. Thinking that this woman is what she wants, she pursues her fiercely. It is said that a martyr girl is afraid of pestering her husband. Even if Tan Ji'er is unwilling in every possible way, she cannot resist Shi Xiucai's "pursuit" and will inevitably not be attracted to her.
Shi Xiucai simply asked directly why he was willing to marry her, and Tan Jier said that he had to win her before he would marry. Two people came to a "comparison of literary talents", I produced the first couplet, and you produced the first couplet. If the woman loses, she must marry the other party. She said, wild flowers will grow every year if they are not planted. It is said that men in the world are unkind and will never be consistent with their wives. Even if they fall in love with her this time because of their beauty, there is no guarantee that there will be someone else?
Shi Xiucai’s literary talents are not fake. He replied directly, worries have no root and are born every day. The sentences should be neatly balanced and express your true thoughts. I am not looking for your beauty, but you as a person. If you think so, it's just for your own sake and don't care too much about the opinions of the outside world. This statement shows that Tan Ji'er has no common sense, so why do you believe that he is not a good person? She recognized Shi Xiucai's literary talent in her heart and happily accepted the marriage, and the two of them were together.
Summary
Wild flowers grow every year, and troubles arise every day without roots. This pairing quickly spread. People in the world also feel that this couplet is very neat, and they can also see the attitudes of the two people. Life is really too short. There is no need to worry too much about marriage. You care too much about what the outside world thinks of you. If you care too much about others, you will cause trouble to yourself, which is really meaningless.
