The Fatal Encounter between Wu Song and Pan Jinlian (I)

In the Book of Poetry, it is said: Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent, a lady, a gentleman is a good gentleman.

High school textbooks have written: People have three basic desires, namely appetite and sexual desire to survive.

Probably the most ups and downs in "Water Margin" are the stories of the Wu Dalang family in Yanggu County. Today, I would like to say a few words for Pan Jinlian.

First, the life

Pan Jinlian has had a rough life since childhood. Outside the south gate of Qinghe County, there is a tailor surnamed Pan, who died young, leaving a 9-year-old daughter and wife to live a difficult life. 9-year-old daughter Pan Jinlian looks delicate and cute, and her feet are well wrapped, and in order to exchange some silver for a living, her mother sold her daughter to Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion to learn to play and sing, pen and ink paper, and knitting for female workers. Six years later, Wang Zhaoxuan died, and her mother sold it to Zhang Dahu's family for thirty-two silver. Zhang Dahu is already the age of Hua Jia, bare stick, childless and childless under his knees, and he is dependent on his mother for his life. For this reason, he was very miserable and felt that the family wealth was worthless to him. In order to relieve his depression, his mother decided to buy a maid, so 15-year-old Pan Jinlian entered the Zhang Mansion in this way. It is said that the female eldest eighteen changes, 18-year-old Pan Jinlian out of the closed moon shy flowers, sinking fish and falling geese, the original book described her as follows: the face is like a three-sided peach blossom, the sandalwood mouth is light, and the waist is graceful. This attracted Zhang Dahu, who was in his sixties, and everything that should have happened happened. Later, Pan Jinlian was beaten up by Zhang Dahu's mother, and Zhang Dahu was in a deteriorating state because he was in the same room with Pan Jinlian, and he was afraid that Pan Jinlian would suffer after his death, so he took the initiative to marry Pan Jinlian to Wu Dalang. At this time, Pan Jinlian had already changed hands three times. Writing this, I can't help but sigh, everything is fate, half a point is not by people!

Let's talk about Wu Dalang again. Wu Dalang's original name was Wu Zhi, a native of Wujiana Village, Qinghe County, Hebei Province, and the description of him in the original work is as follows: he is less than five feet tall, his face is ugly, and his mind is ridiculous, and the people of Qinghe County see that he was born short, and give him a nickname, called "three inches of Ding" and "valley bark".

The two people with a huge difference in appearance are married in such a fate creation, which also lays the groundwork for Pan Jinlian's self-abandonment and even embarks on a road of no return.
