Uncle Liang He’s first wife, Shi, gave birth to nine daughters but no sons. His concubine gave birth to his eldest son Meng Pi. Meng Pi had a foot disease, and his uncle Liang He was very dissatisfied, so he asked to take Yan's daughter as his concubine. The Yan family has three daughters, and only the youngest, Yan Zhengzai, is willing to marry her uncle Liang He.
Yan Zheng was less than twenty years old at that time, while Shu Lianghe was already sixty-six years old. There was a huge age difference between them. The two were not in harmony with the etiquette of their marriage. The couple lived in Nishan and were pregnant, so they were called " Yehe".

The story of Confucius:
1. Haste makes waste
Zixia was a student of Confucius. One year, Zixia was sent to Jufu (now Juxian County, Shandong Province) to be a local official. Before leaving, he made a special trip to visit the teacher.
Ask Confucius for advice: "Excuse me, how can we govern a place well?" Confucius said to Zixia very enthusiastically: "Governing a place is a very complicated matter.
< p>However, as long as we grasp the fundamentals, it will be very simple." Confucius explained to Zixia some things that should be paid attention to, and then repeatedly told him: "There is no desire for haste, and there is no small gain. "If you see small profits, big things will not happen."The meaning of this passage is: Don't just pursue speed in doing things, and don't be greedy for small profits. Simply pursuing speed without focusing on effects will fail to achieve the goal; only focusing on small immediate gains without focusing on long-term benefits will accomplish nothing major.
Zixia said that he must follow the teacher's instructions, and said goodbye to Confucius and took office. Later, "Haste makes waste" was passed down as a proverb, and it was often used by people to explain that being too hasty and trying too fast will be counterproductive and fail to achieve the goal.
2. Young people are terrible
When Confucius was traveling, he met three children. Two of them were playing, and the other child was standing next to them. Confucius felt strange and asked the standing child why he didn't play with everyone else.
?
The child answered seriously: "Intense fighting can hurt people's lives, and pulling and pulling can also hurt people's bodies. To take a step back, it doesn't matter if your clothes are torn. So I don’t want to play with them. Is it any wonder?”?
After a while, the child built a castle with dirt and sat in it for a long time. Nor did they give way to Confucius who was about to leave.
Confucius couldn't help but ask again: "You are sitting inside, why don't you avoid the cars?" "I have only heard that the cars have to go around the city, but I have never heard that the castle has to avoid the cars!" Child explain. ?
Confucius was very surprised. He thought it was amazing that such a young child could speak so well, so he praised him and said, "You know a lot at such a young age:"?< /p>
The child replied: "I heard people say that fish can swim in three days after they are born, rabbits can run in the fields in three days after they are born, and horses can follow their mothers in three days after they are born. The horse walks.
These are all natural things, what’s the big deal?” Confucius couldn’t help but sigh and said: “Okay, now I know how amazing the young man is!”
