The girl was born doomed to death. Fortunately, God blessed her and later gave birth to a great son.

The feudal era was a patriarchal society, and the fame and contribution of women were often immortal. According to traditional thinking, women can't record their first names in family genealogy, but only have surnames. Because of this, those great women in history have been buried, and we can only call them "so-and-so", as well as the mother of Zeng Guofan, a famous ZTE minister in the late Qing Dynasty. ? Although we can't know the exact name of Jiang, we can't deny her historical achievements. In the limited historical data, we can only know that Zeng Guofan's mother is five years older than his father Zeng Linshu. Because Zeng Linshu is the fourth child, she is called Jiang's "Lin Sisao". In addition, Jiang has a special name called "Sister Xi". It is said that the name "pity sister" comes from an inhuman custom in Hunan. Jiang's ancestral home was in Jiangxi, and later moved to Xiangxiang, Hunan. Jiang Jue, the twelfth ancestor of the Chiang family, died and was buried in a place called "Fairy bare skin". Later, I don't know if the ignorant Feng Shui master insisted that Jiang Jiajue's burial place was unlucky. In order to ensure the safety of future generations, it is necessary to "wash women" for nine generations. The so-called "washing girls" in the ninth generation means that all the first-born girls under the ninth generation must be killed, otherwise the social family will not prosper. ? Unfortunately, when Jiang was born, it was his father's first child. According to seniority, ginger is the seventh generation of the Jiang family. According to the saying of "washing women", Jiang was doomed to die when he was born. According to the rules made by her ancestors, Jiang Peilin cruelly left her under the bed when her daughter was born, trying to freeze her to death. Unexpectedly, my daughter's life is so good that she is still alive in the cold winter. People's hearts are all meat. When Jiang Peilin saw his daughter, he was very surprised and felt sorry for her. He ignored the family rules of his ancestors and decided not to "wash his daughter" in the future anyway. Because her daughter suffered such a big crime when she was born, the Chiang family nicknamed her "pity sister" Jiang Jia and Zeng Jia are family friends, and Zeng Guofan's grandfather Zeng Yuping and he are also old friends. Judging from the situation at that time, the Jiang family was relatively rich and was a local small and medium-sized landlord. Although Jiang Peilin is not famous, he is famous for his wealth and justice. Jiang Peilin is not a snob. He took a fancy to Zeng Yuping's son Zeng Linshu and betrothed his daughter to him. ? After marrying Zeng's family, Jiang and her husband, Zeng Linshu, managed the housework and managed the family diligently, and the Zeng family gradually improved under their management. Jiang's family is a good family, so her virtue is well known. Zeng Yuping spent the last three years of his life in a hospital bed, and Jiang took good care of his father-in-law without complaining. Later, Zeng Guofan praised her filial piety every time she talked about her mother. More importantly, after Jiang arrived at the Zeng family, he gave birth to five men and four women for the Zeng family, which is undoubtedly a great contribution to the Zeng family, whose incense has not been very prosperous. Jiang Jia not only gave birth to nine children, but also was a good teacher in education. She often said to Zeng Linshu: "Although there are many children in my family, they are all educated in a certain industry, cultivated in a certain industry, and well educated in a certain industry. I work at home and other scholars work outside. Why should I be poor? " ? Zeng Guofan has an indomitable and stubborn character, which is completely inherited from his mother Jiang. In his later years, Zeng Guofan said: Most of their brothers inherited their mother's virtue, but the advantage was that they were stubborn by nature. The word "stubbornness" is essential, and all successful articles must be filled with this word, which is composed of the word "stubbornness". "It is worth noting that Zeng Guofan's grandfather Jiang Peilin also had a great influence on him. Jiang Peilin likes this grandson very much and says that he will become a pillar of talent in the future. Jiang Peilin also saved Zeng Guofan's life. At that time, Zeng Guofan was ten years old and went to his grandfather's house to study. Once he and his cousin were playing by the well and accidentally fell into it. Jiang Peilin arrived in time and saved Zeng Guofan's life. Jiang Peilin also made up a very auspicious story about the disaster, saying that if he survived, he would definitely become a scholar in the future. This is undoubtedly the best encouragement for young Zeng Guofan. ? It is not difficult to see that his mother Jiang and his grandfather had a great influence on Zeng Guofan, especially his mother's noble character. In fact, Li Hongzhang's mother and Yuan Shikai's mother were the most outstanding women of that era. It's a pity that we can't know their real names, let alone their detailed deeds.
