It is only natural that a husband loves his wife. Husband and wife love each other, the family is harmonious, the career is smooth, and life is happy. Love is selfish, and there is no room for sand in the eyes of both husband and wife. Therefore, it is normal to be jealous of each other, and proper jealousy can even promote a more harmonious relationship between the two sides. But we must grasp the limits. Exceeding the limit will be counterproductive. In history, some people are naturally suspicious and jealous. They don't trust their wives and always suspect that they are cheating on them. Therefore, he did a lot of stupid things and was laughed at by future generations for thousands of years.

For example, Li Yi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty! When he was in Tang Xianzong, he was named a bachelor of Jixian Temple. However, due to negative talents and arrogance, the official career is not smooth. I was in a bad mood when I went to work for a long time. Later, I didn't even work as a civil servant. I simply resigned and embarked on a journey of tourism. It can be said that you can leave when you want. It's smart and enviable. In addition to being willful, this man also suffers from jealousy, that is, he is jealous and always suspects that his wife is cheating. In order to spy on his wife, he came up with a way to sprinkle a layer of ash outside his wife's concubine's room every night to check their movements. When it got out, it was laughed at, and everyone said that he had gone a little too far.

But there is something even worse than Li Yi. There is a scholar in Kunshan who is as stupid as Li Yi, and he is pedantic. In order to test his wife's loyalty to him, he hid in front of his house at night, and when his wife came back from going out, he pretended to be a pervert and jumped out to hug her. His wife would rather die than obey, shouting. Seeing this, the scholar was overjoyed and said excitedly, I have a virgin in my family! What a scholar! I'm impressed.

It is said that some people now use strange QQ and WeChat to test the loyalty of their wives or husbands. This method has the same effect as Kunshan scholar.

if you don't think it's wonderful, this man has done more wonderful things.

One day, the scholar hurried to find the bricklayer in the village. He told the bricklayer that there was a very urgent matter at home, so that the bricklayer had to go with him.

The mason is building a house for another family at this time, and he can't leave. The scholar was furious. The bricklayer saw that he was furious and thought that something really happened at home, so he put down his work and went back with him. At home, the mason asked the scholar, what's the important thing?

The scholar pointed to a crack in the wall of the inner room and said to the mason, Please help me paste this.

The mason was dumbfounded. You kid played me. What was the emergency? The time limit for building a house is tight, so what's so urgent about your big gap?

when the scholar heard this, he was anxious. He said, Oh, where do you know? There is a man who is as thin as a monkey living next door to my house. Although the crack is small, the thin man next door can get in and out at will. Do you think it's urgent? Do you think I should worry?

The mason was asked by the scholar and had to give up. Then divide three times five by two to help him paste the crack.

it is no wonder that such wonderful flowers should be used as jokes by future generations. So husband, which woman can stand it? In today's world, women would have dumped you for a long time.
