Chapter 43: Shun grew up in suffering
Di Yao selected Shun in the acre. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info first married his two daughters, Empress E and Nuying, to Shun, and after a period of investigation, he believed that Shun's character and talent could indeed be the pillars of the country.
So, Shun was summoned to the court. First, he took over the retired deed as the chief secretary and had an overview of the government.
A few years later, the politics were clear, the people were happy, and the government and the opposition were full of praise. Di Yao gave up the imperial throne to Shun when he was old. As a result, Shun became the first person in Chinese history to ascend the throne from Zen. He is the second emperor of the five emperors in Chinese history.
But it is said that Yu Township under Zhufeng Mountain in Hedong (today's Shanxi Province). The mountains are blue, the water is green, and the sky is blue. The mountains are full of flowers and green grass. Back then, there was a family living here, the male host's surname was Youyu, and the hostess's name was Shudeng. There is a three-year-old boy named Yu in the family.
The husband and wife worked hard all day long, cultivating between the acres. Life is quite fed.
On this day, I climbed the back mountain to collect firewood. She came to the hillside and kept looking down to collect firewood, and when she was tired, she straightened her waist, and when she looked up by chance, she saw a rainbow hanging in the eastern sky.
The rainbow red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, seven colors, against the blue sky, feel more vivid and dazzling.
Gripden was attracted by the rainbow and watched it for a long time. I can't help but fall in love. I thought to myself, "If I could cut a rainbow into a dress, it would be beautiful to wear." ”
Strange to say, the rainbow is like knowing what is going on in the grip. It really floated down from the sky and surrounded the grip. The grip is wrapped in a seven-colored rainbow. I just feel that the world is spinning, like drunk, like a dream.
It's like being embraced by a handsome, dashing, beautiful man. The two men adored each other, hugged each other, and danced on the green grass on the hillside.
Grip is light and spins freely. Gradually, Hold seemed to lose consciousness.
By the time she woke up, the rainbow had long since dispersed, and she was the only one lying on the green grass on the hillside. It's like I've just had a beautiful dream, and my heart is very sweet and nostalgic.
He thought about it for a long time before he got up and picked up firewood and went home.
Since then, he has felt pregnant. It turns out that this rainbow is still incarnated by the pivotal star in the sky, and it came to Gripden here to be reborn and reincarnated.
A year later, Gripden gave birth to a boy. The boy had a large, round head, a dark and square face, and heavy pupils, like the eyes of a heavy bird.
The mouth is large and can hold a fist in the mouth. There is a positive character pattern on the palm. In the same way as the handsome man that the rainbow had turned into, he named him Shun. It means a small flower.
Shun gradually grew up and was unusually smart. and righteousness, kindness, honesty, filial piety, and ability.
Especially Shun's special filial piety to his parents and his brotherhood. People who have seen Shun praise him, saying that Shun has a good appearance, he is early, and he will definitely make great achievements after he grows up. Shun's mother, Shake Deng, was even happier when she heard these words.
Who knows, the good times don't last long. It is really unpredictable, and people have good and bad luck. When Shun was four years old, his mother Gripden unfortunately died. Leaving behind the young Instant and his brother Yu, who was three years older than him.
From the window, a bleak singing voice came in: "Little cabbage, yellow in the ground, three or two years old, no mother." It's better to follow my father. I'm afraid of my father and my stepmother. married a stepmother, three years. Give birth to a younger brother who is better than me. My brother wears new, I wear old, my brother wears cotton, I wear single. My brother eats, I drink soup, my brother eats buns, I eat bran......."
Less than a year after the death of Shun's mother, his father married another stepwife.
Shun's stepmother, when she first came, treated Shun and her brother Yu quite well, although her face was ugly and her words were ugly, she could still let them eat a full meal.
Shun is very sensible, and he is especially cautious in front of his stepmother. I always wake up early, go to bed late, work more, and talk less. At a young age, he was able to cook on a fire, do laundry, feed pigs, chop firewood, and go to the fields to help his father farm and weed. Never dare to be idle.
Shun treats his stepmother as filial piety as his own mother, and screams sweetly. But all this could not move the stepmother's heart. The stepmother still regards Shun and her brother as a thorn in the flesh.
A year later, my stepmother gave birth to another younger brother named Xiang. Since the elephant was born, the life of the two brothers Shun and Yu has been even more difficult.
The stepmother gradually revealed the true face of the stepmother. And day by day. Turning their eyes at each other all day long, scolding non-stop, either doing this is wrong or doing that badly. The scolding is quite light, and the stepmother's broom pimple does not leave her hand, and she will split her head and cover her head at every turn.
After two years, the stepmother gave birth to a little sister, named He, and the little sister is kind by nature. Willing to be close to two older brothers. But the nature of the little brother elephant is the same as that of the mother. Obedient and stupid, without conscience. All day long, he took pleasure in torturing his two elder brothers, and he was against his two elder brothers in everything. and went crazy to black and white, and sued the two brothers behind their backs.
The two brothers didn't recognize it, and they couldn't get any good work. I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly. There were no cotton clothes in the tenth winter wax moon, and the two brothers shivered from the cold.
Gradually, even his father listened to his wife's greedy words, and his attitude towards the two brothers became worse and worse. Either beating or scolding, and not even allowed to eat. The brothers had to eat by the pyre by the stove.
After Shun and his brother Yu cooked the meal every day, they waited for their father, stepmother and younger brother to finish eating, and then they could return to the woodpile to eat the leftovers. If there is too much left, you can eat enough, and if you have less left, you will not be able to eat enough, and you can only starve.
If the two Shun brothers cook every meal, it's okay. If there is more soup and less water, the fire is in a big pot. summoned the stepmother and father to beat and scold.
Although the two brothers were abused, they spent their days in tears. But the two brothers were obedient and did not resent their father and stepmother. still treats his stepmother as filial piety to his own mother.
Later, my father suffered from an eye disease and lost his sight soon after. After losing his sight, his father's temper became even more irritable. At the instigation of his stepwife, he sprinkled all his grievances on the two Shun brothers. Because I can't go out to work, I stay at home all day. Pick on the fault of the two Shun brothers.
The neighbors all called Shun's blind father a gu.
One day, Yu took his little sister He to play in the yard. A gust of wind blew off a bamboo pole for drying clothes. The bamboo pole hit the lotus, and the lotus began to cry. The stepmother scolded again when she heard He's cry, saying that Yu wanted to kill her sister.
The younger brother elephant took the opportunity to trap his brother Yu. said that Yu deliberately hit the little sister He's head with a clothes pole, and the little sister cried.
He can't see with his eyes, but his ears are good. After listening to the elephant's witch telling, he burst into a rage. grabbed a wooden stick and hit Yu.
The blind man's hand was not on the head, and a stick hit Yu's head.
Poor Yu was knocked to the ground on the spot, foaming at the mouth and unconscious. Half a day later, he woke up, and since then he has lost his mind, dementia, and has become a waste.
Since then, the burden on Shun's shoulders has become heavier. In addition to doing the work I used to do, I also have to take care of my brother who has dementia.
With the lesson of his brother's beating, Shun also had a heart, and for his father's beating and scolding, he endured the small blame and ran away with the big stick.
In the torment, Shun grew to the age of fifteen. The little brother elephant and the little sister lotus can also play by themselves, and they don't need Shun anymore.
The stepmother thinks that Shun has become a superfluous person in the family. He was going to drive Shun out of the house.
The matter is not unknown, and the character is low. was bewitched by his stepwife again, and he had already broken his heart.
He called Shun over and scolded: "You brute, I provide you with food and clothing all day long, and you are still disgruntled, trying to be unfavorable to your family." How can I tolerate you, you can get out of this house for me now, I don't have a son like you. From now on, even if you freeze to death and starve to death, you will not be allowed to come back, so let's get out of here.
Although Shun pleaded bitterly, he remained unmoved. He picked up the big wooden stick again and held it high. said: "If you don't leave, I'll kill you first." Shun had no choice but to turn back three times in one step, and left the house crying after five steps.
Shun left the house and walked aimlessly. One day I walked to a place. The mountains and rivers here are blue and the scenery is beautiful. And it is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and there are large tracts of uncultivated wasteland.
Shun decided to settle here. He inquired with the locals, and it turned out that this place was called Lishan.
Shun borrowed seeds from the people here. Promise to return it ten times by the fall. He also borrowed tools for plowing the fields, "rake" and "rake".
Since then, Shun has cultivated fields and planted crops in Lishan.
