On Zeng Guopan’s wedding day, the bride ran away

The late Qing Dynasty was a time when history underwent major changes, and Zeng Guopan was also a man of great influence at the time. His life was like an ups and downs trio, turning from passive and low at the beginning to generous and exciting. He also made outstanding contributions in the long river of history. His outstanding talents, both in literature and in leading the army against the enemy, make him worthy of this title. The incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, especially the late Qing Dynasty government, created a huge gap between our country and other countries. Fortunately, many patriots and loyal ministers emerged during this period, such as Zeng Guopan, Li Hongzhang, Lin Zexu, Deng Shichang, etc. They all made outstanding contributions to the country. The impression about Zeng Guopan Dazhi is that there is no description of this person's deeds in history books. I was very confused when I wrote about Li Hongzhang and Lin Zexu. They were both ten famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty, but there was no brief introduction to Zeng Guopan's deeds.

1. Zeng Guofan’s ordeal Zeng Guofan could be said to have been depressed in the first half of his life. He failed to take the imperial examination and missed it. When they got married, things ended unexpectedly. It's like a test given by God. As the saying goes, "If someone is sent from heaven to this person, they will definitely strain their mind and starve their body." This is what he must experience. At that time, he still had to follow the rules of his parents when getting married. Fate, the matchmaker said, but after he experienced failure again, his wedding was on the way, and the turning point in his life also came.

When Zeng Guofan got married, it was the most shameful marriage in his life. In this marriage, he should have been the dazzling groom in the wedding, but he did not expect to become one. It was a joke and became a joke in history. He himself felt humiliated. Although he was later rated as a great man in history, now he has indeed become a joke in the eyes of everyone.

No one wants to joke about a major life event like marriage. Marriage is a solemn and festive event for everyone. Zeng Guopan's path to education was not easy. Others may have some talent in reading, but he may have forgotten his talent in other countries. As the saying goes: "Genius depends on ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent talent." Zeng Guopan is such a person. He would recite some profound literary works when he was a child. But this does not mean that he is a smart student. On the contrary, he is a bit of a headache for stupid people. Even the gentleman Liang Shang who stole things from his house couldn't stand it and humiliated him.

2. Two things about Zeng Guofan’s marriage. Zeng Guofan’s mentor could also be said to be his father-in-law. He really couldn’t stand it anymore. In addition, he had missed the imperial examination many times. Ouyang Ningzhi’s heart He couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to be Zeng Guopan's matchmaker. Ouyang Ningzhi's temper was a bit arrogant in today's terms. He had a good relationship with Zeng Guopan's father and was really considerate of him. Wasn't this because he was worried about Zeng Guopan's marriage? He thought Zeng Guopan had a good supporter, so he targeted the Wang family, which he thought was quite famous.

The Wang family actually looked down upon Zeng Guopan, but Mr. Ke Nai and Mr. Ouyang agreed that Zeng Guopan was a hard-working and progressive man, so they agreed to the marriage. If Ouyang Ningzhi had not told him about the marriage, he would definitely not tell him about the marriage. But without what-ifs, the tragedy still happened. He didn't consider at all whether a family as prestigious as the Wang family would look down on Zeng Guopan.

This is a festive day. The clouds in the sky almost look like hearts to him. He is happy on this day. The wedding will be held as usual, and all he needs to do is welcome the bride into his home. The wedding will end perfectly, and he can hug the beauty back home. But the bride-welcoming team had already arrived at the gate of the palace. The red-hot bride-welcoming team waited and waited here but never saw the bride come out. When I asked, I found out that the bride had run away. Isn't this a slap in Zeng Guopan's face? Mr. Ouyang felt really sorry, even though Zeng Guopan told him not to care. But Mr. Ouyang changed his mind and decided to marry his daughter to him, so his second wedding began. This time it went smoothly. Ouyang Ningzhi was very relieved about him.

After getting married, problems arose. Mrs. Zeng was a good wife that everyone praised, but Zeng Guopan had a new problem. He had desquamation and looked so scary that Mrs. Zeng almost divorced him. After this time, Zeng Guofan has no worries. With such a beautiful and virtuous wife at home, he is more motivated and can concentrate on his career outside. Behind a successful man, there must be a woman. This sentence is also consistent with Zeng Guofan's situation.

If it weren't for his wife's advice, he might still be depressed, and he might really be stopped in the scientific examination. Even though he has a lot of knowledge, he still needs to have the motivation to work hard in life.

3. Achievements that come after hard work will eventually pay off.

After some advice from his wife, Zeng Guopan finally used his hard work to get a gift for his wife - —The reputation of Mrs. Yipingaoming. In addition, he was conscientious and loyal in his work in the court. At the same time, he also ushered in modern literature for the country. Our first ship was also built with his help. In the military, he had the experience of training the Hunan Army, and that wedding was like a test set for his life. Although he had failed in his previous life, his conduct and behavior were extremely good. OK In Zeng Guofan's view, the matter of getting married in the future may not be a joke.

It was precisely because of the Wang family's remorse that he found such a virtuous wife. No one knew whether the Wang family would regret it if they knew Zeng Guopan had such achievements now. I think there must be some regret. His life has been full of ups and downs. While he is strict with others, he is also extremely strict with himself. At the same time, he is also very scheming. After the army led by Zeng Guopan suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle, he played a small trick to shirk the responsibility. He also cherished his life and would not really do it. The things that hurt his life, behind these things, are just a conspiracy on his part. Conclusion: As the old saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Even if Mrs. Zeng made demands on him, without his previous thirst for knowledge and hard study, it would be difficult for him to achieve the following achievements. Ouyang Ningzhi's character is also respectable. Because of his improper consideration, Zeng Guopan's wedding became the laughing stock of the whole city. He did not escape responsibility but felt guilty, so he married his daughter to him. His big wedding. Wulun is Zeng Guofan, Ouyang Ningzhi, or Ouyang Ningzhi's daughter. Their characters and virtues are admirable and learnable.
