Chapter 68: The Way of Husband and Wife

Zhang Liang fled, my eyes were fixed on the door that had just been closed, my heart was very chaotic, chaotic like a tide, hissing everywhere, pouring into my brain, suddenly my nose was sour, and my heart was a little sullen.

Maybe it's really just drunk and disorderly, and a qiē is just an unintentional and unintentional impulse that any man will have. And this time it was also my own trouble, it wasn't that I deliberately tricked him to make him drunk and confused, how could such an accident happen, fortunately it stopped the situation out of control in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, how could I suddenly feel that I was cheating and he was the victim...... I frowned, and I couldn't help but sigh, every time I was rectified by myself, I was so ridiculous......

I slowly turned my head, swallowed a sour mouthful, looked at the empty room, the candlelight was still swaying gently, the red ribbon used for decoration was so eye-catching, festive red, there were still melons containing wine on several cases, the bitter memory of the wine was worried, and the melancholy in my heart swept up again, and at this moment the strong bitterness seemed to begin to taste on the tip of the tongue again. My fingers touched my lips, here had stayed his kiss, warm and tender, the things in front of me were confused, it was a messy and burning just now, my heart trembled faintly, a qiē is just a dream, no matter how beautiful it is, I can't hold it in the palm of my hand

My eyes suddenly became a layer of mist, and I felt a string of coldness in the corners of my eyes... My heart is confused, where should I stay, the future has become so far away, and where should I put my heart now, does it really need to be closed to be the safest?

In a fog of eyes, I saw that the room was suddenly opened again, and Zhang Liang, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, appeared by the door again. The hair on his forehead was wet and red on his cheeks, and it looked as if his face had been buried in the water, could it be that he had just woken up? He looked at me, as if he had noticed the wetness in my eyes, and his body stiffened. His eyes flickered, and a look that he couldn't tell whether it was pity or self-blame flashed, and he leaned forward to come here, but his steps were fixed there without moving a step.

"Yun'er, I'm ......" His warm voice sounded faintly, and he suddenly swallowed again in the middle of the conversation, and it took a long time for him to speak again: "Your illness is not yet cured, I don't worry about you alone." ”

Hearing this, for some reason the sour feeling suddenly hit my heart again, I hurriedly buried my head in the quilt, and said lightly: "I'm so tired, I want to sleep." Then I heard his footsteps and moved to the side of the desk.

There was silence in the room again. Like every night, we are so close, and we seem so far away, fate makes us know each other, implicate and bind, but we can't find a reason to cling to each other.

The wedding ceremony is not completely over, and there is a meeting with the in-laws on the second day. I have no relatives with Zhang Liang, Xunzi, as the most respected elder in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, has always loved and reminded Zhang Liang, and he is naturally like a father.

Early in the morning, a group of people gathered in front of the new house. Zhang Liang, Yan Lu, Fu Nian, Tianming holding a bamboo plate, and the master of ceremonies who presided over the wedding. The atmosphere is a little strange, except for Tian Mingle's eyes shining at the dried fruits on the bamboo plate, everyone else has an embarrassed look like a smile, Zhang Liang is even more complicated, seeing that my eyes are a little red and swollen, and there are many elusive looks in my eyes, which are flickering and uncertain. I didn't think about it so much, so I stood next to him.

The master of ceremonies led us to the residence in Xunzi Bamboo Garden. I took the bamboo plate in Tianming's hand, which contained dates and chestnuts, and bowed with my face to the east, and then I stepped forward, knelt down, and placed the bamboo plate on several cases in front of Xunzi, Xunzi stroked it with his hand, and I stood up and respectfully bowed again. Fortunately, I watched "The Book of Rites" for an afternoon yesterday, and I also kept these rules in mind, otherwise it would really go wrong.

Then, the master of ceremonies handed me a glass of mulled wine, which was a gift on behalf of my in-laws. After that, there is a "feeding ceremony", that is, according to the custom of preparing some commonly used food to give to the in-laws, in order to show the life of the parents-in-law, and the bride will also share the care in the future. After all the etiquette was done, the master of ceremonies left the room.

The room was quiet for a moment, I raised my eyes to look at Xunzi, only to find that his face didn't seem to be very good, and I suddenly felt a little nervous, secretly wondering, I didn't seem to have done anything wrong in etiquette? Why did Xunzi look a little angry?

"Ovary, what's going on?" Xunzi asked coldly.

What's going on? I beat the drum in my heart, Xunzi won't ask...... That's it......

Zhang Liang was speechless for a while, Tianming on the side seemed to have discovered something, his curious gaze stopped on Zhang Liang's face, and suddenly said: "Yes! Third Master, what's wrong with your mouth?

Tianming's unintentional question rolled like thunder, echoing in the room for a long time, the atmosphere was so embarrassing that everyone froze, and everyone wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. I have been scorched outside the sky and thunder, and my heart is miserable, which pot is not opened.......

Yan Lu can always perceive people's hearts, and his mind is still so meticulous, he hurriedly pushed Tianming with his elbow, looked at him and shook his head gently, and stopped Tianming in time before continuing to speak openly. And Tianming was still confused, blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Lu, and when he saw Yan Lu's serious face, he obediently closed his 'big' mouth.

Zhang Liang was stunned for a while, and his cheeks turned crimson untimely: "Uncle Xun, forgive your nephew for being stupid, may I ask?"

"The two of them are not giving up, what do you say?" Xun Zi asked majestically word by word.

Zhang Liang was speechless for a long time, and it seemed that Mousheng was not calm.

At this time, Fu Nian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Xun, the matter was caused by the little sister Fu Lin, so that there was some misunderstanding between the ovary and Miss Ziyu, so that it ......."

Before Fu Nian finished speaking, Xunzi suddenly got up and said solemnly: "The way of husband and wife must not be wrong, and the foundation of the father and son of the monarch and the minister is also (1). The way husband and wife get along is the best touchstone to test a person's character and virtue. Self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. If you can't even take care of your family, what can you do!"

Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi admonished. The way of a gentleman is to create a husband and wife, and to the end, to observe heaven and earth (2). The little nephew must keep in mind. ”

"Hmm~~" Xunzi nodded and looked at me again, and said sternly: "What does Ziyu think of the way of husband and wife?"

I'm ashamed, Confucianism is really three outlines and five constants, even the way of husband and wife has to be questioned, fortunately, I once wrote a paper on the ancient idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, I stabilized my heart and said: "The way of husband and wife, with yin and yang, access to the gods, the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the great festival of humanity." (3) The poem says: The wife is well together, like a drum and a harp. Brothers are both harmonious, happy and delayed. Yier's house, Leer's wife. ”

Many people have a lot of misunderstandings about traditional Chinese culture, thinking that ancient China only valued the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, the kindness of fathers and sons, and did not talk about the love between men and women and the love of husband and wife. In fact, among the major civilizations in the world, it is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese civilization attaches the most importance to the relationship between husband and wife and pays the most attention to the way men and women get along. In "The Mean", five kinds of relationships in society are described, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers, and friends. As a matter of fact, the three of the three programs and the five permanent programs that we are talking about should be precisely said to be the five programs, but the first three programs are the most basic social programs. Among them, the husband and wife are the first of the five outlines, from which the social relationship of qiē arises, and therefore must be the most important. Thinking of this, I also understand why Xunzi suddenly admonished so solemnly today.

"Well, a gentleman takes virtue as his action, and he can see it every day. Since you know the way of husband and wife so well, you should do it physically, and don't say anything about it. The master thinks that he is a righteous and self-reliant. If you don't lead by example, how can you teach Confucian disciples?"

"My nephew obeys the teachings. Zhang Liang said respectfully. In fact, as far as I know, he is rarely blamed by Xunzi, but I didn't expect to be killed by me this time.

"Okay, you guys go down, I won't punish the newlywed Yan'er much. Xunzi finally finished the questioning, waved his hand, sat in front of the desk, and began to close his eyes and meditate again.

After being reprimanded for some reason, I walked by myself with my head down. Originally, there was a footsteps of everyone around, but it became quieter and quieter, and I looked up, only to find that everyone had long since disappeared, and only Zhang Liang was left. I'm dizzy, they won't all deliberately take a long detour, right...... These people are really ......

(1) The way of husband and wife must not be wrong, and the foundation of the father and son of the monarch and the minister. : From "Xunzi Dalu"

(2) "The way of a gentleman, the end of the creation is the husband and wife, and the end is also, observe the heaven and the earth": from the "Mean" to the effect that the way of the gentleman, the www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion lies in the relationship between the husband and wife, when this point is done to the extreme, it will understand the great truth between heaven and earth.

(3) "The way of husband and wife, with yin and yang, access to the gods, the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the great festival of humanity." Ban Zhao, a talented woman from the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote "The Female Commandment", which means that yin and yang are the core concepts of Chinese thought, and husband and wife are the most direct and common yin and yang relationship, so the way of husband and wife is not only the beginning of human ethics, but also the same virtue as heaven and earth, with a certain sacred characteristic.
