It is said that there was a drugstore in Guilin during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. The owner of this drugstore is surnamed Wang, and people call him Wang. Wang Zhanggui married many wives and concubines in his life, but for some reason, he never had a son, only a daughter. Therefore, Wang Zhanggui has high expectations for this only child and does not hesitate to spend huge sums of money. He only hopes to cultivate a daughter and let this family have successors in the future. Wang Zhanggui not only invited his daughter to private schools, but also invited famous musicians to teach her. In a few years, Miss Wang was trained to be both talented and beautiful, and became a famous talented woman in the local area.
Miss Wang soon grew into a young girl. At the age of marriage, countless officials and gentry's children came to visit relatives. Not only because miss Wang is beautiful, but also because of the aristocratic family business she hopes to get. After all, this is a win-win thing, and Wang Zhanggui naturally knows the minds of these people. However, these playboys who come to visit relatives and friends can't get into Miss Wang's eyes at all. Finally, they were all declined by Miss Wang, and they were relieved. After all, he didn't see a good son-in-law among these people.
So in the end, the two decided to test the man with couplets in order to find a person who suits Miss Wang's mind and marry her. This matter was finally adopted. When the news of a couplet looking for a lover was announced, many scholars came here. After all, this kind of thing is very attractive to scholars, so everyone wants to try it. Seeing Miss Wang's fine features and charm, she is even more eager for couplets. These talents are all very excited and want to marry this beautiful Miss Wang.
Seeing so many talented people, Miss Wang thought it would be better to have a difficult couple. After a little meditation, she finally made this difficult couplet with the title of the medicinal materials in her home industry: Yu Yejin Hua as the root. As soon as this first couplet was said by Miss Wang, many scholars were scared away. Because this picture is more difficult, if you want to make a bottom line, you must not only have talent, but also be very familiar with these herbs. Most gifted scholars shook their heads, and no one dared to try to align this couplet.
Among the onlookers, there is a scholar named Lin. He is honest, but he lacks talent. So I had a brainwave and went to a drugstore to ask the owner for advice. When the shopkeeper saw that it was Lin Xiucai, he wanted to give him a hand. After a long meditation, he sang a couplet: nine skins of Cordyceps sinensis. Lin Xiucai presented this next copy. After reading the second copy, Miss Wang couldn't help smiling with satisfaction. Then Lin Xiucai, who looked at good looks, was determined to continue the exam. Then another couplet was produced, giving Lin Xiucai a day to think about it. The first part: water lily, Scutellaria barbata, look at the flowers and look at the water lily.
This couplet also uses the name of medicine, which is very clever and even more difficult than the last one. So, Miss Wang gave Lin Xiucai a day to think. After getting this copy, Lin Xiucai went on to consult the pharmacy shopkeeper. After seeing Miss Lin's online couplets, the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing, and casually replied: Mother-of-pearl holds a pearl jade bowl, and he uses mother-of-pearl water lotus, a pearl for Scutellaria barbata, and finally holds a pearl jade bowl to greet the flowers and shine on the water lotus. This kind of reconciliation is very clever, which made Miss Wang take a fancy to it at first sight and was impressed by Lin Xiucai's talent, but she didn't know that neither of the two bottom allied units was Lin Xiucai.
However, Miss Wang's admiration for Lin Xiucai has been born, and she is secretly glad. The girl immediately took out the couplet that had been fixed for life while the iron was hot. The first couplet: Chinese Pulsatilla, Petunia ploughing. But Lin Xiucai knew nothing about the names of these medicines, so she had to take this picture to the shopkeeper again. These three requests for help also made the shopkeeper exhausted, just for the sake of the young man's lifelong event, he tried his best to help. So he thought and thought, and finally came up with a wonderful bottom line: immortal, lovesickness has a matchmaker.
Conclusion When Lin Xiucai took over this bottom line, women were angry and ashamed. And one side of Wang Zhanggui see daughter so look, then know her daughter's mind, can't help laughing. Wang Zhanggui quickly invited Lin Xiucai to the back room to discuss their marriage, and finally set an auspicious day. And the legendary marriage of these two people eventually became a much-told story and a beautiful talk after a meal.
