Secondly, I believe everyone has heard the saying that love has nothing to do with age, and it is possible to meet true love at any age, so Zeng Guofan, who was protected this time, met another woman who he wanted to protect for life. In addition, a powerful person like Zeng Guofan, marrying a concubine younger than himself can be said to be as simple as eating and drinking water, and men at that time had the right to marry three wives and four concubines, so no one would object to Zeng Guofan.
Not only that, Zeng Guofan was suffering from severe psoriasis, especially when he was itchy. Sometimes even Zeng Guofan's own wife doesn't want to tickle him, not for other reasons, but because of nausea. At that time, Zeng Guofan's illness had developed to a very serious degree. For example, after you play a game of chess with him, you will find that all the skins on the board have been scratched by Zeng Guofan.
So when Zeng Guofan married this concubine at that time, he said such a sentence to outsiders, that is to say, I married her back to make him tickle me, and there was no other idea. Then I heard Zeng Guofan's rhetoric, and outsiders dared not say anything.
