In feudal society, the idea that men are superior to women is deeply rooted, and women's status is generally lower than that of men. However, some women from famous schools are different. The status of these women is very different from that of ordinary people. They have lived a wonderful life since childhood. If this big family has no other children, then the woman's treatment will be more generous.
Emperor Kangxi came to power and his national strength was also very strong. Due to the shift of economic center of gravity to the south, many large families have appeared in Jiangnan area, including Lu Fu. Luf's master, except for a daughter, has no children under his knees. So his daughter naturally became his treasure, and she had a good life since she was a child. Luf's master loves his daughter very much and almost meets all her requirements. Such doting has caused his daughter to have some personality defects, and she has done many shameful things behind her back. As a lady, she not only didn't lead an honest and clean life, but also had sex with different men all day and never stopped. Coupled with her bad temper, her scandal soon spread all over the country and was spurned.
In ancient times, women's status was originally low. If such a scandal spreads to others, no one dares or wants to propose. Therefore, the daughter's marriage worried Master Ruff all day. In order not to let his daughter get married, he promised to give her a generous dowry to get married.
Although many people don't want to marry such a woman with worrying conduct, the dowry given by Luf's master is really too much. Not long after, a man named Xu came to propose. Ruff's master smiled at first, but after asking others, he realized that this man was almost as bad as his daughter.
The man surnamed Xu is also the son of a big family, but he is a bully and often goes in and out of dusty places. Because of this, his reputation stinks and no one wants to marry him. After hearing the news of Luf's proposal, he immediately came to propose with a bride price.
If it is the master of other big families, it is impossible to marry his daughter to such a notorious bully. But Ruff's master doesn't care so much, because his daughter's reputation is not better than his. When two people get married, it's just the same smell. This is still a worry for me, and my family will not be pointed at by others in the future.
Soon, the wedding banquet was held. On this day, people came to watch the lively wedding. The lords of the two families were very excited because they solved a worry, but then they made a fool of themselves because of this marriage.
When the wedding reception was in full swing, the housekeeper brought an anonymous couplet. The lords of the two families were also very happy at that time, thinking that someone really wished the couple well, they quickly opened the couplets to watch. Unexpectedly, the contents of this couplet can make two families make a fool of themselves. After reading it, the owners of the two families were livid; After reading it, the people who came to watch the fun laughed.
The first couplet of this couplet is what we said above: "Miss, the lower mouth is bigger than the upper mouth", and the second couplet is: "Xu Gongzi, there are more wicked people than righteous people". This couplet means "profound", and the second couplet is classic and ironic. In the end, neither family found out who sent this couplet. But he must be a scholar and despise the marriage between the two families.
