What did Sima Guang do to avoid concubinage?

Sima Guang, Tianxi was born in Guangshan, Song Zhenzong in three years. Because his father Sima Chi was the magistrate of Guangshan at that time, he was given the name Sima Guang. He married Zhang when he was 19 years old, but he was not pregnant for many years, so Zhang began to take a concubine for him. In order not to take a concubine, he refused the beautiful woman his wife bought him and scolded his mother-in-law for sending him away.

First, in order not to take concubinage, Sima Guang did all this.

1, Sima Guang and his first wife, Zhang, have very deep feelings, but they have been married for more than 30 years and still have no children. In ancient times? There are three kinds of unfilial, and no queen is the biggest? So it was a big deal to have children, but Sima Guang didn't decide to have a concubine, so his wife secretly spent a lot of money and bought him a stunning beauty when he was young and put it in Sima Guang's room. When Sima Guang returned to his room to get ready for bed, he found a young woman lying in bed showing off her posture. Without saying anything, he left the room and went to the study to read alone.

2. Because Sima Guang has never taken a concubine, Zhang is under increasing pressure outside, and her mother-in-law loves her daughter dearly. Collusion? Sima Guang was invited to her mother-in-law's house to enjoy flowers, and then Zhang was excused and sent a beautiful maid to wait on Sima Guang. Sima Guang was very uncomfortable when he saw a beautifully dressed servant girl standing next to him. He tried to stay away from the servant girl, but the servant girl kept following Sima Guang closely, and Sima Guang suddenly broke out after forbearance.

Third, Sima Guang turned out to be an affectionate person.

It was a common phenomenon, even a trend, for men to have more concubines in Song Dynasty, but Sima Guang didn't think so, but he didn't like this phenomenon very much. He proved it with practical actions. Because Mrs. Zhang has never had children, Sima Guang adopted her own son and named him Sima Kang in order to reassure her and stop looking for a concubine for herself. In ancient times, she didn't want to marry a concubine.
