Wang Yan during the Jin Dynasty was a typical example of strict control over his wife. There are only three types of people in the world who are afraid of their wives. First, his wife is a beautiful woman, but he is not a handsome guy. He cherishes her very much and cannot bear to disobey her, just like a big gray wolf. Second, an old man and a young wife are afraid that they cannot win over his wife, so they obey him. Thirdly, the wife is powerful in the family, and the east wind overwhelms the west wind. As time goes by, the wife will naturally become a strict wife. Of the three situations, the third is the saddest. And Wang Yan is in this third situation.
So who is Wang Yan’s wife? Speaking of which, let’s clarify the affairs of the Guo family first. General Guo Huai is the grandfather of the Guo family. Guo Huai's son Guo Yu gave birth to a daughter who was Wang Yan's wife. Guo Huai's younger brother Guo Pei had two daughters, one married to Pei Xiu and the other to the powerful minister Jia Chong. Jia Chong's daughter Jia Nanfeng was the queen of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty. Guo and she are cousins ??and have a very close relationship. Guo's natal family was powerful, and with the support of her cousin the queen in the palace, Guo was extremely courageous. Pian Wang Yan also admired Xuan Yuan, a distinguished scholar, a quiet and elegant person, so the Guo family was almost invincible in the Wang family.
This woman is a typical shrew, with no talent, but an arrogant and stubborn temperament. He was never polite to anyone who came to Wang's house for business, and always asked for money first. When Wang Yan was in power, many people came to him to ask for help, whether seeking official positions, wealth, or discussing matters. It would not work if these people were not given a meeting gift. In fact, from a modern perspective, this is really a good way to make money. It's just that Mr. Guo is the kind of greedy person who likes to do other people's things. He has no virtue and no talent, and he can't say anything. It's acceptable once in a while, but as time goes by, if it keeps doing this, even Wang Yan becomes impatient. However, there was no way to stop her. She has a moody temperament. She talks and laughs when she is happy, but thunders when she is angry. She gets angry when she doesn't get along, and gets angry when things don't go well. Not to mention that the servants tremble in front of her and don't dare to speak. Even Wang Yan himself is weak in front of her, like a defeated cock, with no strength to fight back. .
Ms. Guo likes money very much, and she likes the sound of counting money. As long as she sees money coming, no matter whether it is gold, silver or copper, she can smell the money immediately. . She has a natural sensitivity to money. When he first married into the Wang family, Wang Yan only knew that his wife loved money. Later, her genius gradually emerged. As soon as the word money was mentioned, her eyes would immediately widen, like a hunter who has discovered the prey. And he vowed not to give up until he took the money as his own. Wang Pingzi, also known as Wang Yan's younger brother Wang Cheng, saw that his sister-in-law loved money so much that she even asked her maid to pick up excrement on the road, so she said: "Sister-in-law, you can't do this. You are our lady, how can you let the maidservant pick up excrement on the street?" The sinful maid went to pick up dung?" After hearing this, Mrs. Guo became angry and cursed: "In the past, when your old lady was dying, she entrusted you to me, not me. Why do you lecture me?" Pulling Wang. Pingzi took off Pingzi's clothes and yanked them away with the stick beside him. Wang Pingzi saw that the intruder was evil and struggled hard until his clothes were torn before escaping from the window. The servants nearby were stunned, this woman is so awesome.
Women are easily impulsive, which is understandable, and it is acceptable to be reluctant, but like Guo, it is a bit too much. It's not easy for others to say how to control his maid. It's fine if she doesn't listen to advice. Why bother to beat her? How can she look like a rich lady when she looks like a shrew? Besides, Wang Yan himself admires Xuan Yuan very much. , so he takes money very lightly. He hopes that Mrs. Guo can practice what a woman should do. But the days that followed did not follow the rules at all. This woman was greedy for money to the point of a bottomless pit. She was a bad person and money was her life. Therefore, he was very disgusted, but was powerless, so he had no choice but to hide, and did not even want to say the word money. Guo wanted to test him, so she asked the girl to surround him with money under his bed, so that he could not walk. When Wang Yan woke up in the morning, he saw that his feet were covered with money, and there was no place to put his feet. He shouted angrily, "Get these things away!" His helplessness and anxiety were palpable.
Fortunately, there is a saying between heaven and earth that one thing descends from another, and Guo is no exception. At that time, Li Yang, the governor of Youzhou, was a fellow countryman of the Guo family. He was known as the "Kingto Hero" and acted like the hero Lou Hu of the Han Dynasty. The person Guo is most afraid of is him. He trembles with fear when he hears his name. He must have been severely taught a lesson when he was young, hehe. When Wang Yan's struggle with his wife failed, he brought up Li Yang's name: "Not only do I advise you not to do this, but Li Yang also thinks that it is extremely wrong for you to do this." Strangely enough, although Li Yang is far away It was on the horizon, but the effect was very good. This shrew, greedy, and shrew turned out to be as well-behaved as Sun Wukong met Tathagata. How strange. Fortunately, this fierce woman who is not afraid of anything has someone to fear, but for the long-term plan, Wang Yan had better learn other people's self-protection methods to protect the family tradition.
