In the Song Dynasty, Liu Deming, a rich man in Taohua Village, had a daughter named Yu Yan, who was not married. At the time of Huatian Festival, Liu Deming ordered Chunlan, the servant girl, to accompany Liu Yuyan to secretly visit her husband. Xiangyang juren Ji Bian went to Beijing to take the exam. Due to lack of money on the way, there will be stalls selling paintings in Huatian. Chunlan saw Ji Bian's extraordinary talent and appearance, and went home to meet Liu Deming. Liu Deming invited his family and didn't want to invite the bully Zhou Tong by mistake. Zhou Tong ordered Liu Yuyan to get married in three days. Chunlan designed Ji Bian to dress up as a man and meet Liu Yuyan. When they were engaged, Zhou Tong suddenly robbed the bride and accidentally robbed Ji Bian by mistake. Xuan was accused of robbing the birth procedure and was taken to court; Zhou Mei Lou Yu found out that Ji Bian was faking and asked the truth, so she released Ji Bian and gave him money to take the exam. I went to my office to complain that my daughter was robbed, and I went with Dou Tou Leiheng, but Zhou was brought back. At this point, Chunlan mistakenly thought that the person who was robbed was, but explained that the person who was robbed before was, which made Zhou change his men's clothes and marry Liu Yuyan. On the night of flowers and candles, Zhou told the truth. Chunlan was afraid of coming back to haunt him in the future, but she left Zhou in the village to deal with his brother. After his release, he informed and got married in Zhuang that night. Liu Deming was at a loss. Luda came to stay and was furious. He pretended to be a bride, hid in a tent, arrived in the evening, was beaten by Ruda, and ran away. On the way back to Luda, Jong Li, the tiger general, persuaded him and sent him back to Zhuang to confess his sins. Ji Bian won the first prize and went to Taohua Village. The truth came out as soon as everyone met. Finally, she married Liu Yuyan, and Zhou married under the matchmaking of Chunlan.

Ps: About the geographical location of Taohua Village:

It was not mentioned in the original book, but the location of Taohua Village in Ziyang Town, Yanmenguan appeared in the book adapted after liberation, which was illogical (Juzi from Xiangyang, Hubei Province went to Kaifeng, Henan Province to take the Yanmenguan exam in Shanxi Province ...), and most of the adaptors at that time took Beijing for granted; At that time, Beijing belonged to Liao country, and Yanmenguan was the real border.
