The heroine is Zhuo Wenjun, one of the four beauties of China, who was born into a giant merchant family. Although no one in the family was a high-powered official, Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, used his own money to make friends with officials, and was a well-known figure in the local area.
At that time, the restraint on women was not as perverted as in the Song Dynasty. Zhuo Wenjun has been very intelligent since childhood, and when he became an adult, he was even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhuo Wenjun's father married her to a local reader, but unfortunately, not long after the marriage, the reader died, and Zhuo Wenjun also became a widow.
If you change to another woman, you may have spent this life in widowhood, but Zhuo Wenjun's situation is different. She is very talented, even after becoming a relative, she also has a great reputation in the local area, plus she has a father who spoils her, so Zhuo Wenjun is ready to remarry.
After this news was released, all the local talents boiled over and came to the door to ask for relatives, but Zhuo Wenjun already had the object of his choice, that is, the great talent Sima Xiangru.
Sima Xiangru, in the early years, because of his family's cold situation, he could only live in the family of his brother Wang Ji. This Wang Ji was much better than Sima Xiangru, he was the local county commander, and once, Zhuo Wangsun, the father of Zhuo Wenjun, invited Wang Ji to his house for a banquet.
Seeing this, Wang Ji called his good brother Sima Xiangru as well. Hearing that Sima Xiangru was coming, Zhuo Wenjun secretly hid behind the screen and peeked.
When Sima Xiangru saw Zhuo Wenjun's presence, he became even more energetic, and he played the song of Feng Qiuhuang and successfully captured Zhuo Wenjun's heart.
After the banquet, the two became entangled and fell in love. Zhuo Wenjun knew that Sima Xiang's identity was like this, and his father Zhuo Wangsun could never agree. In order to be able to be with Sima Xiang, Zhuo Wenjun resolutely eloped with him!
This move made Zhuo Wangsun very sad, and he immediately announced that he had severed the father-daughter relationship with his daughter, and his property would not be left to her in the future!
Zhuo Wenjun was a virtuous and good woman, and in order to provide for her husband Sima Xiangru to study, she took off her gorgeous clothes, changed into a coarse cloth and linen shirt, and stood in front of the mound to sell wine. After Zhuo Wangsun heard about this incident, he was deeply ashamed and scolded Sima Xiangru at home every day for being useless.
At this time, someone came to persuade Zhuo Wangsun, Sima Xiangru is not a bad person, anyway, the wood has become a boat, you, the father, should help them. This persuasion gave Zhuo Wangsun a step down, and he took out a sum of money to Zhuo Wenjun, and the couple also used this to get out of the poverty line.
Later, Sima Xiangru entered Beijing to take the exam, and after five years, he finally won the appreciation of Emperor Wu of Han with the "Shanglin Fu" and was given the title of Lang. Just when Zhuo Wenjun was looking forward to it, Sima Xiangru became a complete scumbag.
He had long forgotten his promise to Zhuo Wenjun, but instead wanted the woman of Na Mao Ling as a concubine. However, Sima Xiangru also wanted Zhuo Wenjun's approval, so he wrote a letter to Zhuo Wenjun, which contained only thirteen words, "1234567890 million".
Zhuo Wenjun is such a wise person, she immediately knew the meaning of Sima Xiangru, in these 13 words, only there is no "billion" word, which shows that her husband is no longer willing to talk about the feelings of that year.
So Zhuo Wenjun wrote a poem with a pen, that is, the famous white head chant:
It is as snowy as the mountains, as bright as the moon between the clouds.
Wen Jun had two intentions, so he decided to break up.
Today's drinking party, Mingdangou water head.
On the ditch, the ditch water flows east and west.
Miserable and miserable, there is no need to cry when marrying.
May the people of one heart be one, and the white heads be inseparable.
Bamboo rod Ho Yuan Yuan, fish tail He Zhen Zhen!
The boy is heavy-minded, how to use a money knife for!
After reading this poem, Sima Xiangru regretted it and hurriedly dismissed the idea of taking a concubine, and then returned to his hometown to personally take Zhuo Wenjun to Chang'an, and he grew old with a white head.
However, Zhuo Wenjun would not have thought that this poem would become a song sung by everyone after two thousand years.
