It will rain. Who does my mother want to marry? Story analysis

A long time ago, there was a scholar named Zhu Yaozong. His father died of illness when he was a little over one year old. His mother was afraid that Zhu Yaozong would be abused by her stepfather, so she simply refused to remarry and shouldered the burden of life alone.

Zhu Yaozong was smart since childhood and liked reading. Seeing that her son is a good reader, the mother used the money saved to hire a teacher named Zhang Wenju to tutor her son. Zhang Wenju was also a poor scholar, but he was knowledgeable and taught Zhu Yaozong a lot. Two teachers and students, one is good at teaching and the other is smart and studious. Results Zhu Yaozong 15 years old was admitted to the scholar, and 18 years old went to Beijing to take the exam and became the top student in high school.

When Zhu Yaozong entered the palace to take the exam, the emperor saw that he was brilliant and handsome, so he urgently recruited him as a doctor. After thanking the emperor for his long-term kindness, Zhu Yaozong couldn't help thinking of his mother who raised him with great pains. So, he told the emperor about his miserable life with his mother since childhood, and how his mother raised him alone to prevent him from being abused by his stepfather, and how to ask teachers to impart knowledge and cultivate him into an adult under extremely difficult circumstances. The emperor was very moved after hearing this, and immediately wrote to the mother of Zhu Yaozong, the number one scholar who had been widowed for many years and had never remarried, to set up a "chastity archway". Zhu Yaozong was naturally very happy.

Traditionally, champions of new disciplines will go back to their hometown to visit relatives. When Zhu Yaozong came home, the mother was so happy that she saw her son win the first prize. However, when she heard the emperor ordered her to "set up a chastity memorial arch", she obviously showed an uneasy look. It turns out that Zhang Wenju's wife, Zhu Yaozong's teacher, died a few years ago. In the days when Zhu Yaozong's family got along with Zhu Yaozong's mother, they gradually developed feelings. Although Zhang Wenju left Zhu Yaozong's home after he went to Beijing to take the exam, their feelings remained the same. Recently, Zhu Yaozong's mother is considering formally marrying Zhang Wenju. Now I hear that the emperor is going to build her a chastity memorial arch. How can she not worry?

Zhu Yaozong was frightened when he heard that his mother was going to remarry her teacher Zhang Wenju. He plopped down on his knees in front of his mother and cried, "mother, this is not allowed." My son has told the emperor that you should not get married again. Now, if you remarry, you will be guilty of cheating the monarch. This is a great sin to punish nine tribes! " Zhu Yaozong's mother felt in a dilemma after hearing this. Remarriage is undoubtedly the crime of deceiving the monarch; Unable to remarry for so many years, she lived alone in an empty room and had a hard night. Who knows? Thinking about it, Zhu Yaozong's mother couldn't help sighing and said helplessly, "Everything is destiny takes a hand." After that, she casually took off a brisket skirt and handed it to Zhu Yaozong, saying, "It's not easy for my mother to raise you. Tomorrow morning, you should show your filial piety to my mother, wash this skirt and hang it in the yard. If the skirt dries before dark, I won't remarry; The skirt is not dry, which means that this is an act of god. You don't have to stop me from remarrying. " Zhu Yaozong knew that it was not easy for his mother to support himself, so he had to do as his mother said.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was blazing in Wan Li. Zhu Yaozong was secretly happy. He thought that in such fine weather, even ten or eight skirts can be hung, not to mention one skirt. Knowing that he had washed his mother's skirt and just finished basking in the sun in the yard, the clear sky suddenly became cloudy and it was raining heavily. The skirt hanging in the yard was wet by the heavy rain, much wetter than it was just washed and wrung out. It rained heavily until after midnight, and my mother's skirt was always like soaking in water. How to do this? After dark, Zhu Yaozong's mother looked at the pouring rain outside the window and said to Zhu Yaozong, "Son, it's going to rain, and mom is getting married. The will of God is inviolable! " Although Zhu Yaozong complained in his heart, it was an act of God, and he was helpless.

After returning to Beijing, Zhu Yaozong truthfully reported his mother's marriage with his teacher Zhang Wenju, washing his mother's skirt and Torun's affairs to the emperor.

Since then, people have used the phrase "it's going to rain and my mother is getting married" to describe those irreversible things.
