In 312 BC, King Zhou was 3 years old, King Qi Xuan was 8 years old, King Chu Huai was 17 years old, and Zhuang Zhou was 58 years old.

This year! Zhuangzi's wife, sold her son and died.

Mai'er was Zhuangzi's third wife and the wife who accompanied him all his life.

Zhuangzi's affection for selling children is no worse than that of Rong'er. For the seller, Zhuangzi paid his true feelings.

Mai'er was known to Zhuangzi when he was a teenager, and he met again when he was in the lacquer garden. At that time, he was a seller in the lacquer garden, and he lost his father and mother at an early age, and he and his brother picked up children for their lives. Because the elder brother was a thief, he offended people, was framed and died, and sold his son and completely lost his relatives.

Zhuangzi happened to come to Qiyuan to take up his post, and after learning about the murder, he rushed over, and when he saw Mai'er, he remembered her. Because! She looks like her mother.

Mai'er learned that it was the remembered Brother Zhuang Zhou, and he was willing to follow him.

At the beginning, Zhuangzi did not agree to sell his son, but only commensurate with his brother and sister. Afterward! Zhuangzi relented and said that as long as Rong'er agreed, he would marry her.

The seller promised to give Zhuangzi a housekeeper for a lifetime, and kept Zhuang's brother to have food for the rest of his life, and did not worry about food and clothing.

Outcome! The seller did it.

Since marrying Zhuangzi, she has never let Brother Zhuang go hungry. Although in the years of pretending, on the surface their family is very poor, in fact! Everything was pretended, and her house had an endless supply of gold and silver, as well as a lot of jewels and jade.

She became pregnant a total of ten times and gave birth to five children and six babies for Zhuangzi. The first child was twin daughters, and the second child was a son named Zhuang Ping. The third child is also a son, named Zhuang Geng. The fourth child is a female baby, named Zhuang Lian. The last one was a son named Zhuang Su.

Several other pregnancies, all of which were miscarriages.

The seller also realized that the more children are born, the more worried they are about being a father. In this troubled world, it was very uncomfortable for her to see her children suffering. So! Habitual miscarriage and some of her unwanted to get pregnant, so she miscarried.

And then later! In order not to have children, she did not live with Zhuangzi. Even if the two sleep together, they restrain themselves and do not do things like men and women.

Not only will he have children, but he will also cook and take care of the house. Other than that! She also has a skill, which is embroidery.

The embroidery embroidered by the seller can be compared with the embroidery girl in the court! Even! It's better than embroidery. Because! At the beginning, the seller used folk silk thread and embroidered handkerchief.

Afterward! The embroidery embroidered by the seller with the silk thread and embroidered handkerchief of the court is better than that of the embroiderers in the court. Unfortunately! Due to the increasingly poor state of the Song Kingdom during the reign of King Kang of the Song Dynasty, coupled with the decline in population brought about by the war, and the backwardness of commerce, her embroidery did not sell at a good price.

Furthermore! Mai'er doesn't make a living by selling embroidery, many of her embroideries are half sold and half given to others.

When she was young, especially in the Qiyuan period, she was probably afraid of poverty, she was greedy for money and loved to take advantage of small advantages. Later, after settling in the small town of Mojia Fentan in Mengxian County, it was as if he had changed someone, and he was very generous.

But! She's not the kind of generosity that has no bottom line. She kept a large sum of money down for later vacancies.

Because of embroidery, the seller had an eye disease, and later stopped embroidering, only cooking and bringing his nephew.

Since his children got married, Zhuangzi rarely stayed at home, except for spending time with Hui Shi, but he was huddled on the side of the Mojia branch and wrote his books. And also! It is to preach in secret. So! Zhuangzi later cared less about the sale of children.

Furthermore! She doesn't need him to care, she not only cares about her brother Zhuang, her father, but also her children and grandchildren.

It was precisely because he didn't need his care that he let go of his hands and feet to preach secretly, debate with Hui Shi, and play.

Life! It's not just about being alive, there's other fun as well. When survival is no longer an issue, when life is free, we can play.

Children and grandchildren have their own lives, and they also need to experience their lives and complete their life processes, and we don't need to do those superfluous things for them.

Because! We cannot complete our children's lives in place of our children and grandchildren, but each person's life is done by each individual. It's the same with life's experience! Everyone's life experience is different, and only by experiencing it yourself is your own life experience.

So! Since his children got married, Zhuangzi began his new life. After worrying about food and clothing, Zhuangzi no longer needs to worry about the lives of his children and grandchildren, and he has a new life experience. In addition to writing books and debating with Hui Shi, that is to play.

And also! It's about using your time to cultivate.

Although he is a real human body, he will enter the mental realm sooner or later. When you reach the age of old age, you must enter the realm of the heart. Otherwise? The world will treat you like an old monster and will scare others.

When the children and grandchildren learned that their mother, grandmother, and grandmother had died, they all rushed back to organize the funeral. These descendants have all been betrayed by the kindness of their children, and they are all inevitably vulgar and cry bitterly.

Zhuangzi was also saddened, but after all, he cultivated profoundly, and after crying for a while, he stopped crying and entered the stage of recollection. His mind is full of stories about him and the seller. Sell! Resurrected in his brain. Of course! You were only resurrected in his brain, resurrected in his heart, and didn't really come back to life.

The cultivation of the seller is not deep, and he has not been able to cultivate into a real human body. But! He was led into the mental realm by the characters in the mental realm and became a conscious body.

Hui Shi learned that Zhuangzi's wife had died, and came to mourn.

When he came over, he saw Zhuangzi sitting there with his legs outstretched, and a basin was placed between his legs, and he was singing while beating the clay pot.

Hui Shi was very angry and blamed: "You have lived with her all your life, she gave birth to children for you until she died of old age, and if she died, you don't cry sadly, you still knock on the clay pot and sing!" You? You're going too far, aren't you? ”

Zhuangzi said, "Not like this! When she first died, I was the same, and I was very sad. Can I not be sad? As you said! She gave birth to children for me and took care of me for the rest of my life, and we have a relationship.

However! I thought about it: she wasn't my wife anymore, she was just a corpse.

At the beginning of all things, there was no such thing as life and death. One thing, or the beginning of life, means the death of another, or life. So! In front of the Tao, there is no concept of life and death. To be alive is to die of something, and to die is to be the beginning of something new.

In front of the Tao, in the long process of evolution and change, everything is just a white horse passing by, a flash. Where is the concept of life and death? It's as if nothing ever existed. So! Everything is invisible in front of the Tao.

We are all just a life process, not to mention in front of the Tao, but in front of human history, how many people have existed. But! How much can history record? So! How many lives have existed and come to this world. But? It's as if they didn't exist, as if they hadn't been to this world!

It's like air, you can't see it, you can't touch it, it doesn't exist at all. But! But the air is there. At the beginning of heaven and earth, it was nothing, and it was qi! That qi is the vitality. The vitality is mixed in it, and it enters the realm of trance, and then it becomes tangible and becomes existent. All things are born out of nothing, some are born out of nothing, and there is something out of nothing. There are all things that are born, and men are born.

Now! She died, transformed into a corpse, returned to heaven and earth, returned to the Tao. It's the same as spring, summer, autumn and winter. The dead person will lie peacefully between heaven and earth, and I will cry around her, I don't think I know the reincarnation of the destiny, so! I stopped crying.

Thanks! From nothing, to people, to her, to my wife, and then to the end of life, I gave her a complete life process. So! I'll sing! ”
