After Becoming a Widow, I Shared a Husband with My Brother-in-Law

This eldest wife is a useless person. Her husband is useless, her family is useless, and she is useless. Her son is dead, and she clings to her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law can no longer control her, so she wants a child and a son of the head of the house as a backer. I really don't have any skills, I have a lot of thoughts.

I feel like I've been tortured and I can't see my daughter-in-law being well, otherwise I've suffered so much for so many years and still drag her into trouble.

Shouldn't the eldest father give birth to Pei Linzhi? The current boss?

He's a brother-in-law, not a brother-in-law

I'm unlucky. I picked up this book because of the writing, but later on I didn't treat the heroine as a human being at all, and let the newly pregnant heroine be fucked by the male protagonist. There is nothing more disgusting than this. Have you ever respected women? Have you ever respected pregnant women? I was caught off guard by a big thunder. Now I am so disgusted that I want to vomit out the last night's meal. I completely regard the heroine as a gou. Can I refund my money? If I can't, I can only admit that I am unlucky. A girl like the heroine was born under your pen. It is really a tragedy.

Why are you confused about the relationship between these characters? The eldest son was useless and had no head of the household, but his son became a householder; the third son was useful and became a householder, and his son Guan Congying went into business and later died! The eldest lady is also the mother of Zhi Zhi. The person in the palm of the hand is the third wife, Guan Zhi's mother, the heroine's mother-in-law?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Purple Sugar] kswl

I don't quite understand. Do you mean to keep the tradition passed down to the elders, or to pass it on to your own children?

Tiedan was already begged for by putting the lid on the pot, and I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected weight, but considering the social background at that time, there would indeed be small stones, clay balls, glass beads... 😆 😆

I have been reading articles on the subject of Jianxi recently, and it was by chance that I clicked on this article. I have to say that there are a lot of articles with the same title recently, but after reading the previous paragraph, I was attracted by Doujiaer's article. The author's seriousness and sincerity can be seen between the lines. She is not just writing words just to follow the trend, so she deserves a long review. More than a thousand years ago, Sima Xiangru touched Zhuo Wenjun's heartstrings with a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", and the sound of the piano acted as a matchmaker, creating an eternal legend. In the story of "Being a Widow and Marrying Her Eldest Brother", Pei Linzhi's Boyuanqin, which he made by himself, is not a noisy courtship instrument, but a token of his forbearance, affection and struggle. When the guqin, which had been gathering dust for many years, was finally delivered to Jiang Xiuyue's hands, all the hidden emotions and unspeakable thoughts of the two people who were tightly bound by ethics, identity, and fate all found their way home. This piano is the emotional watershed in the whole book. It expresses the love and helplessness of men and women under the shackles of feudal clans. It also makes this entanglement that began with "both children" lose its utilitarian background and reveal the most sincere sincerity. At the beginning of the story, it is shrouded in a layer of cold secular rules. Jiang Xiuyue and Pei Guanzhi were engaged since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts. Only three months after their marriage, their husband was killed when he went out and his body was not found. At the age of sixteen, she went from a bride to a widow overnight. The Jiang family felt sorry for their daughter and came to ask for peace and divorce, but the Pei family insisted that she leave an heir. At the time of the dilemma, Pei Linzhi, the head of the Pei family and the elder brother of Pei Guanzhi, was pushed to the forefront. Everyone else thought that the helmsman of an aristocratic family who abided by etiquette and bore the honor and disgrace of the whole family would never agree to such an unethical request as "the uncle and his sister-in-law are both married to the same family", but his simple "yes" broke everyone's predictions. This promise seemed at first to be a responsibility to continue the incense of the Pei family, but from that moment on, Pei Linzhi's heart had already deviated from the track of etiquette. He was in charge of the business at a young age and spent half of his life living under the label of "being stubborn and following the rules". He has learned poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music since he was a child, and playing the piano is his daily life for self-cultivation. Boyuan Qin is an old thing that he personally made when he was ten years old. The body of the piano is engraved with his Chinese character "Bo Yuan", which is a unique carrier of his youthful thoughts. When he was a boy, he was dedicated to shouldering the burden of the family. This piano accompanied him through countless days and nights alone, carrying his purity that had not been polished by the world. He never shows others easily, just like the feelings deep in his heart, he is used to keeping them alone. At that time, Jiang Xiuyue was the wife of his younger brother Ming Media, and was his "younger brother and sister" in name only. A high wall of ethics was built between the two of them, and he did not even dare to care openly, so he could only guard her silently in the dark. The initial relationship was full of embarrassment and alienation. On the first night of sex, Jiang Xiuyue apologized in embarrassment, and Pei Linzhi also whispered "Sorry". Two sentences of apology, showing that the two of them could not help themselves. She abides by her duties as a widow and is reserved and timid; he sticks to the bottom line of a gentleman and is restrained and forbearing. But the physical closeness and getting along day and night made the hidden feelings continue to break through. Pei Linzhi looked at this dignified and gentle woman, guarding the empty courtyard, taking care of Pei's family, and remaining calm in the face of rumors. Jiang Xiuyue also gradually discovered that this majestic head of the house had a soft and delicate heart. He would call in the imperial doctor when she was sick, protect her when she was criticized, and silently support her when she was at a loss. Love slowly grows in the pull, but both of them are trapped in the prison of identity. Jiang Xiuyue always remembered that she was the wife of her deceased husband, and at first she only wanted to seek reconciliation and escape from the house that trapped her. Pei Linzhi was bound by his status as "brother" and "head of the family", and his desire to covet his sister-in-law made him self-loathing. His dreams at night and subconscious heartbeats were all regarded as "dirty" by him. His love was restrained and humble, and he did not dare to express it with his mouth. He could only hide his feelings in small actions: a string of hand-picked blue jade beads, a silent protection in the wind and snow, and a responsibility to stand up in times of crisis. And the Boyuan Qin was his treasure at the bottom of the box, and it was the thought that he did not dare to touch - the Qin was the voice of his heart, and he was afraid that if it played the music, it would reveal the turbulent love in his heart. The trip to Yizhou was the key to the relationship between the two completely warming up. On the way to the Pei family's ancestral grave to bury Pei Guanzhi, wind, rain, nightmares, and assassinations struck one after another. The external crises shattered the sense of distance that the two people had deliberately maintained. On a rainy night, the coffin leaked, and he repaired it in the rain, catching the wind and cold; she cried alone late at night, and he stayed with her through the window; in her nightmare, she dreamed of her late husband drawing a sword towards her, and when she woke up, she was filled with panic, but he silently comforted her. Along the way, the boundaries of ethics and education are blurred little by little, from polite "brother" and "younger brother" to someone who can be relied upon to share weal and woe. It was also during this period that Pei Linzhi played the piano "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". The music was lingering and pathos, drifting leisurely in the night. The sound of the piano reached Jiang Xiuyue's ears. She understood the underlying sound and felt confused. She understood the meaning of the piano and his thoughts, but her late husband's figure, worldly vision, and guilt in her heart made her dare not respond. After the music played, Pei Linzhi did not give away his piano rashly. He still chose to be patient. He understood Jiang Xiuyue's struggle and did not want to force her with his strong love. On the way back, he was assassinated. In the shadow of the sword, Pei Linzhi killed decisively, and his usual gentlemanly appearance was gone. Jiang Xiuyue witnessed his bloody appearance with her own eyes, and the fear of her old dream resurfaced, and she began to deliberately distance herself. She was afraid that this relationship would lead to catastrophe, and that the crime of "brother taking in a brother's wife" in the law would drag him into the abyss. So she chose to escape, and after returning to Beijing, she hid in the Jiang family, trying to use alienation to cut off the ties, and to use the child in her belly as a dividing line to completely put an end to the entanglement that started with Jianli. Her retreat did not make Pei Linzhi give up. He understood her concerns: it wasn't that she didn't love, but that she didn't dare to love. She was afraid of rumors, afraid of the law, and afraid that both of them would fall into a place of eternal destruction. After much deliberation, he finally decided to give away the Boyuan Qin that he had treasured for many years, as if he was giving away his sincere youthful thoughts without any reservation. This is not an impulsive decision, but a decision made after long consideration. When Uncle Chang was ordered to take the guqin to Jiang Mansion, he didn't include a few words. But an old qin built by his own hands and kept with him for half his life is worth a thousand words. The immature word "Bo Yuan" on the body of the instrument represents his youthful appearance; the texture of the wood that has gone through the years represents his persistence for half his life; and the long and lingering rhyme of the instrument represents his deep affection that transcends status and breaks through ethics. When Jiang Xiu took over the Zhongni Qin and touched the word "Bo Yuan" on the body with her fingertips, all the entanglements, escapes, and pretense of indifference fell apart in an instant. She recognized it as an old thing that Pei Linzhi had made when he was ten years old, and understood the significance of this piano to him. Precious jewelry can be given as a favor, and the guqin, polished by one's own hands and carrying a half-life's thoughts, is the most sincere trust from a person. He said nothing, but told her in the most gentle way: I know your fears, I understand your struggles, and I will not force you to respond, but my heart will always stay for you. This Boyuan Qin carries many layers of profound meaning. The first is to say goodbye to forbearance. Pei Linzhi has restrained himself by etiquette and law for half his life. As the head of the family, he must abide by the rules in every word and deed. When facing the person he is attracted to, he has suppressed it for too long. Sending Guqin means that he no longer buries his love deep in his heart and is willing to face this unconventional feeling, even if the road ahead is full of thorns. The second is empathy and protection. He understood her timidity and knew that she wanted to draw a clear line by saying "the child belongs to Pei Guanzhi", so he told her with the guqin: You don't have to bear the fear alone, I will stand side by side with you, and we will withstand the wind and rain together. Third, it is pure intention. This relationship began with the forced "concurrent marriage" of the clan, with the utilitarian purpose of continuing the incense, and the guqin, as a spiritual token, stripped away all worldly calculations, leaving only two sincere hearts that attract each other. After getting the guqin, Jiang Xiuyue finally stopped escaping blindly. She recognized her own heart: she had already fallen in love with this eldest brother after spending time together day and night, sharing weal and woe. She was afraid of legal punishment and the world's criticism, but this feeling had already taken root in her heart. Pei Linzhi's act of giving away the guqin also made her understand that this upright gentleman was willing to break the rules of his life for her. Later, the two of them resolved their knots and were honest with each other. Even though she still said, "This is Guanzhi's child" and tried to distance herself, Pei Linzhi just accepted it silently. He understands her kindness and guilt, and does not force her to let go of the past immediately, but only wants to accompany her silently. At this point in the story, Bo Yuanqin's mission has been completed. It is no longer a simple musical instrument, but a testimony of the two people's emotions. From the initial mutual respect like "ice" due to their status, to the tugging and testing of secret feelings in the middle, and finally to the mutual support of each other facing their hearts, this piano runs through the emotional transformation of the two. The dual-family system in the feudal era was originally a cold tool used by clans to continue their incense. It forcibly tied widows and uncles together, creating a seemingly absurd relationship. But Pei Linzhi and Jiang Xiuyue developed the warmest love in this absurd fate. Pei Linzhi's gift of Boyuanqin was also a way of reconciling with his past self. In the past, he respected the law, was strict with himself, and engraved the word "ritual" in his bones and blood. For Jiang Xiuyue, he broke the constraints of etiquette and admitted his selfishness and love. He is no longer the head of an aristocratic family who only knows the rules, but an ordinary person of flesh and blood who dares to love and protect. And Jiang Xiuyue also reconciled with his fate the moment he took over the guqin. She was no longer trapped by the shackles of her status as a "widow" and "sister-in-law", and she was no longer trapped by the guilt of her deceased husband. She began to face her own emotions and accept this fate that was not favored by the world. Throughout the ages, Qin has often been used as a matchmaker. Sima Xiangru's "Feng Qiu Huang" is a bold pursuit, while Pei Linzhi's Boyuan Qin is a silent stay. There is no passionate string song, but there is a long and flowing affection; there is no straightforward confession, but there is sincerity that I have spent half my life collecting. In the strict courtyard of aristocratic families, under the cold rules of etiquette, this simple guqin played a love song of breaking free from bondage. He finally gave away the Zhang Boyuan Qin. What he gave away was an old piano, but also a sign of a lifetime of forbearance, deep affection and desperate courage. And when she took over Qin, she also received a love that transcended identities and was not afraid of rumors. Even though there are still wind and rain on the road ahead, even though the secular vision has never dissipated, when the music of the piano comes again, the two people who are bound by fate will eventually join hands to keep this hard-won sincerity in the feudal cage. This piano will eventually, as the years go by, quietly tell this story that began with helplessness and ended with deep affection.
