As I sorted out the materials below, I couldn't help but have a cold fight. The women of the Three Kingdoms, you can actually do this?!

Women love beauty, and in order to get rid of a small acne on their face, they can spare no expense; Women are often afraid of pain, and a prick can make her scream. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there was such a woman who did not hesitate to damage her appearance to express her loyalty.

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but tremble again: Sister, I have obeyed you!

This woman's name is Xiahou Lingnu, and she is the daughter of Xiahou Wenning, the minister of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

The Cao family is the royal family of the Wei State, and the Xiahou family and the Cao family are generations of marriages. Xiahou Lingnu married Uncle Cao Wen, the cousin of the general Cao Shuang at the time.

…… ……

Xiahou Lingnu's father, Xiahou Wenning, thought that the biggest failure in his life was to marry his daughter to Cao Shuang's cousin Cao Wenshu.

Daughter Xiahou Lingnu was originally the pearl of his palm, and he thought that after marrying a prominent family like the Cao family, his daughter would be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.

However, I didn't expect that not long after Xiahou Ling's daughter got married, her husband Uncle Cao Wen died of illness, and he didn't even have time to leave a son and a half daughter.

encountered such a misfortune, the most distressing thing was Xiahou Wenning as a father, Xiahou Wenning hurriedly went to Cao's house to take his daughter back, but Xiahou Lingnu Ning could not obey.

Xiahou Wenning only regarded his daughter as willful, so he forcibly tied his daughter back.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the folk customs were open, and it was common for widows to remarry. But Xiahou Lingnu has a deep relationship with Uncle Cao Wen. She was determined to keep the festival for Uncle Cao Wen for the rest of her life and never remarry.

After Xiahou Lingnu returned home, she announced in public, "It's okay if you tie me back, but I will never remarry!" She also cut off her hair specifically as an oath, which is called "cutting the invention of the will".

After returning home, her family persuaded her to remarry. Xiahou Lingnu resolutely refused. The family said, "You are young and have no children, what kind of festival do you observe?"

Probably a girl pretending. They arranged a blind date, thinking that they would do it half-pushing, and then they would leave.

…… ……

When Xiahou Lingnu learned the news, she actually took out a knife and cut off both of her ears!

I remember that Van Gogh cut off his ear, but people have a neuropathy, and Xiahou Lingnu also has a neuropathy?

The family was stunned. Especially Xiahou Lingnu's mother, looking at her bloody daughter, couldn't help crying, "Son, why are you so troubled!" ”

Xiahou Lingnu shook her head: "Don't force me to remarry." Otherwise, I would have done something else. ”

…… ……

In order to show that she was born as a member of the Cao family and died as a ghost of the Cao family, Xiahou Lingnu simply moved to the mansion of the general Cao Shuang. Although Cao Shuang is a fool, he admires his cousin's daughter-in-law when he sees that she is a martyr, so he sends someone to take good care of Lingnu's life.

And so it was for a few years. At that time, everyone praised Xiahou Lingnu's loyalty, but some people felt that it was probably because of the power of Cao Shuang's family, so they were reluctant to leave this big tree.

Xiahou Lingnu's peaceful days didn't last long. In 251, there was a coup d'état in Gaopingling in Wei, and the general Cao Shuang was defeated by the Taifu Sima Yi, not only was the power taken away, but also the whole door was killed by Sima Yi. Xiahou Lingnu also lost her support. At this time, Cao Shuang had been labeled as a "rebellion" by Sima Yi, and became the bane that everyone in the court could not avoid.

Xiahou Lingnu's uncle was worried about being connected, so he announced that he would sever all relations with Cao Shuang's family, and forcibly welcomed Lingnu home. Xiahou Lingnu cried and screamed, struggling desperately, refusing to leave Cao's mansion, which had been killed. In the end, the people of Xiahou's family used violence again, kidnapped her home, and strictly guarded her to prevent her from doing anything out of the ordinary again.

At this time, Xiahou Wenning, Xiahou Lingnu's father, was serving as the prime minister of Liang County. He saw that the Cao family had been killed, so after a while, he sent his family to test his daughter to see if he had the idea of remarrying?

Xiahou Lingnu heard the sound outside the strings, sighed with tears and said, "Daddy wants me to remarry, right?" In that case, I had no choice but to agree. ”

When the people of the Xiahou family heard her say this, they couldn't help but rejoice, and began to prepare to arrange a blind date again. The supervision of her has gradually relaxed.

Who knew that Xiahou Lingnu seized this opportunity, sneaked out of the dormitory, found a knife, and cut off her nose! The ears are covered with hair, so you can get through the tricks, but this nose doesn't, see who is willing to marry me!

It's scary! How it hurts!

When Xiahou Lingnu's mother found out that something was wrong and came in, she saw her daughter lying under the quilt, calling a few times, but she didn't answer. The mother hurriedly came up and lifted the quilt, and the blood was already flowing all over the bed.

The mother suddenly cried out, so startled that the whole family rushed over, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this tragic scene.

Someone persuaded Xiahou Lingnu to say: "Life in the world is like dust clinging to the blades of grass, why do you push yourself to such a miserable state?" Moreover, you said that you want to keep the festival, but now that your husband Cao's family has been beheaded by Sima Yi, who are you keeping this festival for? ”

Xiahou Lingnu replied: "I heard, 'The benevolent do not change their temperance with prosperity and decline, and the righteous do not change their hearts with survival'. The reason why I keep the festival is not to cling to a position of power, but to take pity on Uncle Cao Wen's loneliness. When the Cao family was strong and prosperous, I still wanted to keep the festival for him to the end. Now that the Cao clan has declined, can you bear to abandon him? This is a ruthless and unrighteous beastly act, and I didn't do it! ”

The people of Xiahou's family and her parents, seeing that she was so resolute, had no choice but to respect her wishes and no longer force her to remarry.

The news gradually spread, and even Sima Yi knew about it.

Sima Yi was cunning and cunning, so he also rewarded Lingnu for her loyalty and martyrdom, and allowed her to adopt a son as Uncle Cao Wen's heir. In this way, Cao Shuang, who was killed by Sima Yi in the coup, can be regarded as having a successor.

Xiahou Lingnu's "widow observance", and such cruel self-harm methods, can undoubtedly be criticized as a typical case of "feudal etiquette poisoning women", Xiahou Lingnu herself is a brainwashed fool.

On the other hand, when Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, thousands of noble clans were silent about it. At this time, when a weak woman who is powerless, and her husband has already died of illness, can stand up and defend her unwilling position in the extreme way of self-harm, how precious is this!

Even if the means are bloody and cruel, even if the defense itself may not be in line with the trend, such defense itself shows a spirit that can be sung and cried. Under the fall of the Cao family, the clansmen of the Xiahou clan, Xiahou Xuan died in prison, Xiahou Ba fled to Shu Han, and only Xiahou Lingnu stayed in Luoyang and stuck to her position.

This is not only at the level of life, but also at the level of politics: is this not an indictment of the Sima family?

…… ……

Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", also appreciates this very much, so there is a poem in the book, which praises:

Weak grass and fine dust are all visible,

Xiahou has a woman who is as righteous as a mountain.

The husband is not as good as the skirt hairpin,

Self-care eyebrows are also embarrassed.
