The blessings of the people of Qi

The words come from "Mencius":

The people of Qi have one wife and one concubine. , when a good man comes out, he will be full of wine and meat and then turn against him. If his wife asks him for food and drink, he will be rich and honorable. His wife told her concubine: "When a beloved man comes out, he will be full of wine and meat and then turn back. Anyone who asks for food and drink is rich and noble, but no one has come, so I will leave the beloved man in his place."

When fleas arise, give to a good person, and there is no one in the country who can talk to him. When the deceased died in the Eastern Guo, those who offered sacrifices would beg for the rest; if they were not enough, they would take care of them - this is the way to satisfy one's needs.

His wife returned home and told her concubine, "A beloved man is someone you look up to for the rest of your life, and now it is like this." She and her concubine ridiculed her beloved and wept together in the courtyard, but the beloved did not I know that when gifts come from outside, they are proud of their wives and concubines.

From the perspective of a gentleman, the reason why people seek wealth and success is that it is rare that their wives and concubines are not ashamed and do not cry with each other.

Joke-The Blessings of the People of Qi

"Mencius" said, "What if the people of Qi have one wife and one concubine?" Why, later generations took it out of context and called the happy combination of one wife and one concubine a blessing for all people. In fact, those who have read this story will know that this Qi man's life was not happy at all, and he was so poor that he went to the cemetery to pick up food left over from sacrifices. What's even worse is that the truth he carefully concealed was revealed by his wife and concubines, which completely disgraced the man. Based on my guess, the Qi people must have been deprived of their money by their wives and concubines. Prices are so high that even a husband and wife cannot avoid crying in cow clothes, let alone the addition of concubines. For example, Zhang Ailing described a certain Luo in "The May 4th Legacy". Three or four wives, his ex-wife and the second wife, lived together in a lively manner. They had to support three women and their servants, as well as their children. wet nurse. Made it very difficult.

Having said that, the happiness of being together is still the most restless yearning in the hearts of men in the world. Murakami once said: "My dream is to have twin girlfriends, that is, the twin girls are both equally my girlfriends." From Jacob marrying two cousins ??to Schiller and the Leng sisters for more than ten years From Emperor Shun's Ehuang Nüying to Na Ying and Wang Nawen both giving birth to sons for Gao Feng, it can be seen that this kind of thinking runs through ancient and modern China and the West.

This is not only true for men, but also for women who have the desire to have both. For example, there is an old joke in "The Legend of Xiaolin": The man from the east is ugly but rich, and the man from the west is beautiful but poor. The woman said: "I like to eat at the host's house and sleep at the west's house." The Green Snake written by Li Bihua also said that every woman hopes to have two men in her life: Xu Xian and Fahai. Fa Hai is a golden statue of a god who tried every possible means to win his favor. He has been waiting for him for the rest of his life to look up to him with a few false words. Xu Xian is a beautiful young man who holds hands and draws his eyebrows carefully, telling you the most beautiful words. Come and iron your soul.

But after Xu Xian got it, he couldn't speak a word accurately or make a strong move. What if Fahai is willing to surrender? I think he is strong, lazy, doesn't understand gentleness, and it's a waste of time. This is just like Zhang Ailing’s red and white roses. Marry a red rose, and over time, the red one will become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white one will remain "the bright moonlight in front of the bed"; marry a white rose, and the white one will become a grain of rice sticky on the clothes, but the red one will It's a cinnabar mole on the heart. Alas, love is a thing, and it’s hard to describe how good it is. So, let's go together with three people, if we can still go to the cemetery and steal the sacrifices. At least you don't have to find another partner. Behind closed doors is a table of mahjong.
