Looking through Mr. Lin Yutang's "Clouds in Beijing", I think Mulan's half-life is worth living!

Although 10 years old, she was abducted on the way to escape, her eldest daughter was shot at the age of 36, and her husband had an affair at an unquestionable age. However, in more than 30 years of frequent wars and regime changes, Mulan is indeed the darling of the world: the apple of her parents' eyes, the head of the family trusted by her husband, and of course the treasure of her husband who Sunya has always admired.

As for the bloody experience of "Mulan was left out in the cold on the wedding night" in Chen's TV series, it can be said that it is a myth invented to highlight the characters.

(1) Being abducted and rescued is not only vitality, but also a shackle of love.

1900, the Qing government suffered from internal troubles and foreign invasion. Eight-Nation Alliance (Russia, Germany, France, the United States, Japan, Austria, Italy and Britain) invaded China, and the warlords of the Boxer Rebellion scuffled. The huge Beijing city was shrouded in gloom and the people were miserable.

In order to avoid chaos, the Yao Mulan family will go south to Hangzhou. However, in the chaos of war, the mule was frightened and Mulan was separated from her family.

Little Mulan was lonely and helpless, afraid to the extreme. She asked the Boxer for help to find her relatives, but she fell into the hands of traffickers.

Mulan's parents were very scared: their daughter was young and beautiful, and what might happen in the war and chaos was more terrible than death.

But it's a blessing in disguise. Hope is often hidden behind despair, and there is a turning point in despair.

After Mulan was lost, Yao's father searched everywhere but failed, so he asked Uncle Mulan to hike to Texas along the Wugu River and posted a reward notice along the way:

This notice happened to be seen by Zeng Wenpu, a good friend of Yao's father. Considering that Mulan is the apple of her friend's eye, and 10-year-old little Mulan's intelligence in appreciating Oracle bones, this court official can't be calm.

Zeng Wenpu used his authority to use green gang to find Mulan.

He said to Mrs. Zeng, "You know I've been looking for jewelry for years. But today I just found a real treasure for you, and that is her (Mulan). "

For the Yao family, this life-saving grace is greater than heaven and earth, and it is difficult to turn back again.

Mulan, who was clever and sensible, won the joy of the Zeng family. As soon as Grandma Zeng saw Mulan, she boasted, "Such a beautiful child is really beautiful. If only I could be a daughter-in-law for our Zeng family! " The Tsengs thought Mulan was the future bride of Sunya, the third young master.

Many years later, Yao Mulan, who is traditional in heart and believes in destiny, can only cherish Kong Lifu, who fell in love at first sight and shared the same interests, and accept Sunya when facing the proposal of the Zeng family.

Mulan was heartbroken at the loss of her daughter.

Really brave, dare to face a bleak life, dare to face dripping blood. What kind of mourners and happy people are these? "

This passage is from Lu Xun's "In Memory of Liu Hezhen Jun"

One of the leaders of Beijing student movement was shot dead by Duan government in 1926 "March 18th massacre". He is only 22 years old. Mulan's eldest daughter Aman, who was only 15 years old, was also killed in the case.

Daughter Aman, loved by everyone, is almost a copy of Mulan from appearance to personality.

Mulan cried when she saw her little body lying in the coffin covered in blood. This painful blow is far more painful than the death of my mother. Mulan was silent all day, sobbing alone and often muttering to herself in her dreams.

She asked her husband to leave Beijing for Hangzhou. In troubled times, she just wants to live safely.

"I need to be quiet. The world is in chaos. There are wars everywhere, and it is getting closer and closer to Beijing. I just want to be with you and the children. I won't allow the children to leave me again. I'll educate them myself.-Can't we go somewhere else? Going south to Hangzhou and living next to the West Lake, can't you live a simple and peaceful life? "

But Mrs Tseng didn't die. How could the filial Mulan leave her mother-in-law who fell in love with her biological mother and fly away?

It was not until three years later, at the beginning of 1929, that Mulan and Sun Yacai came to Hangzhou with their children.

(3) Leaving the war sadly, the marriage derailed.

In Hangzhou, Mulan's family lives in Huangcheng, which is extremely quiet.

Mulan took off her silks and satins, put on a cloth, sewed clothes and cooked by herself, and even picked up a spatula to clean the black smoke at the bottom of the pot. Mulan jokingly called herself an "old country woman".

Neighbors will not think that this woman is living a luxurious life in Beijing.

But Mulan's idea of a perfect life was not perfect for Sunya. The contrast of life attitude made Sunya feel ridiculous. He likes lively fashion and the joy of entertainment feast. Soon, he had an "extramarital affair": having dinner with Cao Lihua, a student of the Art College, before and after the flowers.

Of course, there is another important reason for Sunya's infidelity.

After Lifu was arrested as a revolutionary, Mulan fainted with grief. Mulan was afraid that Lifu would be shot in prison and never see Lifu again. She risked her life and might be defiled, and broke into the headquarters alone at night, pleading for Lifu's release.

Although Mulan talked lightly to Sunya about how to persuade the Commander-in-Chief, Sunya obviously felt that Mulan was overreacting to her husband. No matter how great a man is, he will always be jealous and doubt true love when he sees his wife risking her life to save another man, and Lifu is much better than himself. After this incident, Sunya's attitude towards Lifu changed from sincere enthusiasm to indifference.

Sunya's infidelity made Mulan unusually calm. After knowing Cao Lihua's background privately, she secretly asked her father, Mr. Yao.

The relationship between father and daughter is really harmonious. They are wise in dealing with problems, quietly, and resigned.

Cao Lihua, who finally learned about Sunya's marital status, not only stopped the loss in time, but also became friends with Mulan, and Sunya lost her way.

After this incident, Sunya saw Mulan's broad-minded manner, realized what true love was, loved Mulan more, and her feelings were restored.

Yao Fu said that 1 Kong Lifu is worth three great-grandchildren and 10 Yao Tiren (Mulan's brother).

Yao's father loved Kong Lifu very much, whether it was the original or the adapted script, and hoped Mulan would marry him. It's just that the Tsengs are Mulan's second parents, and Mulan and Sunya are recognized as a couple. When Mr. Zeng came to propose marriage, Yao's father couldn't refuse, while traditional Mulan thought it was destiny takes a hand to marry Sunya.

Grandpa Yao gave Mulan the most grand wedding in Beijing.

The second son of the Zeng family married Su Yun, the daughter of Niu Si Taoist in Beijing. Niu Sidao is known as the "cow god of wealth", a senior official of the Ministry of Finance, and there are money houses everywhere at home. It is rumored that Niu Jia has gold pits and silver pits. He has been married to his daughter for 48 years, and the scenery is infinite. Mulan's dowry is as high as 72 liters, with gold and silver jewelry, antique silks and satins, bedroom and study supplies, and the wedding procession will also block traffic for a long time. Women are happy to see the most spectacular dowry in Beijing. On the wedding day, Mulan had a diamond pin on her chest, which was worth 5,000 yuan.

The reason why I prepared a generous dowry for my daughter is not only because my family is well-off, but also because I fought for my daughter's in-laws status, which is the most straightforward embodiment of Yao's love for her.

The Tsengs are proud of marrying Yao Mulan, who is both talented and beautiful in Beijing.

On the second day after the marriage, Mulan gave the Tsengs a "tea toast" as a formal meeting. Mulan's natural grace, decent speech, modest behavior and forbearance made her great-grandmother hand over the power of housekeeper in front of everyone: "If we don't hand over the family affairs to our grandchildren, who will?" She said to her grandson, "Little Three, I won't allow you to bully her (Mulan). This marriage is really a perfect match. "

Mulan, as the youngest daughter-in-law, quickly won the trust of Mrs Tseng, and the shrewd mother-in-law began to assign family affairs to Mulan one after another, and gradually handed over all the power.

Mulan has always been a woman admired by Sunya.

Sunya blushed shyly every time she heard Mulan's name before marriage. Sunya was nervous at the thought that Mulan was going to study in England, for fear of losing Mulan. ...

On the wedding day, Sunya was ecstatic because a beautiful woman came back. That night, he bent down to rub Mulan's feet, holding Mulan's feet in his hand, and said excitedly, "What's the matter now? I can count on you, can't I? "

The happiness of the young couple far exceeded Mulan's expectations.

They are open and free, like to be close to nature and accept new things.

Mulan likes to visit parks and places of interest in the suburbs of Beijing, and Sunya is her best donkey friend. When the Qing court ordered the braiding, Mulan immediately cut Sunya's braids. When China shows silent movies, Sunya likes to watch movies with Mulan again and again.

Mulan had an unfulfilled promise with Lifu before her marriage: to visit Yuanmingyuan together. She asked Sunya if she was jealous, and the approachable Sunya replied, "Why are you jealous?"

Sunya was not interested in politics, nor did he have Lifu's talent. He admired Lifu's talent very much and became good friends.

Sunya made no secret of his shortcomings. He said to Mulan, "Of the two sisters, your sister is luckier than you (Mochow married Lifu). You know, I'm useless. What can I achieve in this world ... The only thing I can boast about is that I have a life to marry a good wife. "

Mulan was deeply moved by her husband's self-mockery and replied, "My good husband, you are not bad, fatty."

The marriage between Mulan and Sunya is full of sweetness, respect and interest, which is enviable.

Many friends think Mulan and Kong Lifu are congenial and have the same view. It would be a pity to miss it.

In fact, it may not be regrettable.

From a secular point of view, the marriage between Mulan and Sunya is a good one. Because the Tseng family was a rich and powerful bureaucratic family, Sunya was good-looking and gentle-tempered, and it was difficult to find a husband.

Two Yao sisters: Mulan and Mochow.

Mr. Fu, a good friend of Yao's father, also proved that the marriage of Yao's two daughters was the top grade from the perspective of five elements: Mulan was the golden destiny, Sunya was matched with the water destiny, and gold glistened in the water. On the contrary, Mochow was born in soil, Lifu was born in wood, and civil engineering met and prospered.

Facts have proved that Mulan and Sunya, Mochow and Lifu, their combination is complementary and each has its own position. Mulan gave Sunya a push to push him forward. Mochow could pull Lifu back, restrain him and keep him sane in troubled times.

If Mulan marries Lifu, it will make him more poetic, but Mulan is not a careful and thrifty housekeeper, which may make Lifu poorer. Moreover, Lifu has a strong self-esteem, and if Mulan pushes Lifu hard, it may bring disaster and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mulan's life is envied in all aspects, and she can't help but sigh, "Mulan's life is really good!"

Think of Mo Yan's famous saying: "When your talent can't support your ambition, you should calm down and study;" When your ability can't control your goal, you should sink down and experience it. "I only think that Mulan can get the love of her relatives, the love of her friends and the respect of her servants because of her ability and character.
