Other articles 2015-04-08

Yan Zi was both virtuous and talented. He assisted the three kings of Qi. He was in a high position and had a rich salary, but he was simple and frugal. He used his excess money to help his relatives and was very sympathetic to the people.His moral friendship with his wife is also very commendable.

During the reign of Duke Jing of Qi, Yan Zi helped Duke Jing to govern the government with his wisdom and virtue, and was highly valued by Duke Jing.Jing Gong had a beloved daughter who was young and beautiful, so he wanted to marry her daughter to Yan Zi.

One day, Duke Jing of Qi came to Yan Zi’s house as a guest. When he was having a good time, Duke Jing happened to see Yan Zi’s wife and asked Yan Zi: Is that the one who just now the wife’s wife?

Yan Zi replied: Yes.

Mr. Jing smiled and said: Hey, he is old and ugly!I have a daughter who is young and beautiful, so it is better to marry a husband.

After hearing this, Yan Zi stood up respectfully, left the seat, and bowed to Duke Jing: Go back to the emperor, although the wife of the minister is old and ugly, he has lived with her for a long time, and naturally he has seen her beautiful young times.Moreover, as a wife, she was born with a strong life and her beauty was born with a weak body.When my wife was young and beautiful, she entrusted her life to me. I was hired and married. I have been with the minister for so many years. Although the king has given me honor, how could Yan Ying go against her entrusting to her when she was young?

So, Yan Zi bowed twice more and politely thanked Duke Jing. Seeing that Yan Ying attached so much importance to the meaning of husband and wife, Duke Jing stopped mentioning this matter.

Once, Tian Wuyu went to Yan Zi's house and saw Yan Zi alone in the inner room. A woman walked out of the house with gray hair and wearing black coarse cloth clothes, very frugal.Tian Wuyu pretended not to know and deliberately said to Yan Zi in a sarcastic tone: Who was the person who came out of the room just now?

Yan Zi replied politely: It's my wife.

Tian Wuyu looked at Yan Zi and said: The status of the Central Minister is the most important thing. The annual income of the land tax can reach 700,000 yuan. Why do you still have to use your old wife?

Yan Zi then said: Yan Ying heard that retiring his old wife is called chaos;Taking a beautiful concubine who is young is called lust;If you forget your meaning when you see colors and betray your morality when you are rich and noble, you are often called the opposite path.How could Yan Ying have committed sexual acts, disregarding ethics and rebelling against the ancients' ways?

When a husband and wife join hands, they should have lived together together and spent their whole lives together. How could they ignore their wives when they gain power?Although Yan Zi was a minister of Qi, he met the monarch himself to propose marriage. He was a priest, but he still did not want to go against morality and tactfully declined the monarch's good intentions. His virtue was admirable.

Tian Wuyu visited Yan Zi's house, but despised Yan Zi's wife.Yan Zi was not angry because of Tian Wuyu's impoliteness, nor was he ashamed and upset because Tian Wuyu despised his wife. Instead, he treated him with courtesy and explained to Tian Wuyu with moral words that he should not do anything to commit adultery and rebellion, and his moral integrity is respectful.

It is a rare fate that a husband and wife are destined to be together.Day after day, year after year, we care for each other, respect our parents and educate our children together, and have gone through so many ups and downs, and have tasted so many ups and downs together, and have lost our youth for this family.And after going through hardships together, can we be as sweet as we are?Yan Zi set the best example for us, never leaving us. Even if the king proposes marriage and others laugh at him, he still respects and loves his wife so much, and has feelings and righteousness. This is the true love between husband and wife.
