The scholar went to borrow his wife, but he didn't expect to make the fake come true and achieve a marriage
In ancient times, there was a small town called Qingxi, and there was a scholar named Li Xiuyuan in the town. Although he was born in a poor family, he was talented, read poetry and books, and hoped to change his fate through the imperial examination. However, fate always seems to be against him, every year he takes scientific examinations, falls every year, and is nearly thirty years old, he is still alone, and his family is even more poor.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan was invited to a neighboring village to attend a wealthy businessman's birthday banquet. At the birthday banquet, the guests were like clouds and it was very lively. Although Li Xiuyuan was a little out of place, he had an open-minded personality and soon chatted speculatively with several literati and artists. During the banquet, an old man named Mr. Wang suddenly made a strange proposal, saying that it was to help the fun, and he wanted to borrow a "lady" from the guests present to pour wine for him to show his elegance.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and felt that this move was quite inappropriate. But Master Wang laughed and said that this was just a game and didn't need to be taken seriously. Li Xiuyuan's heart moved, thinking that his family was poor, if he could take this opportunity to meet some nobles, maybe it would help his future. So, he stood up and arched his hand: "Master Wang, although I don't have a wife in my next family, I am willing to serve you and borrow a lady to pour wine for you." ”
After hearing this, Master Wang laughed and nodded in agreement. Li Xiuyuan left the banquet and hurried home. He was thinking about where to borrow a suitable "lady". After thinking about it, he thought of Mrs. Liu in the town, who could speak well and traveled extensively, and might be able to help him with this.
When Li Xiuyuan arrived at Liu Media's mother-in-law's house, it was already hazy at night. He knocked on the door and explained what he was doing. After hearing this, a trace of cunning light flashed in her eyes, she looked Li Xiuyuan up and down, and said with a smile: "Xiuyuan, you are so busy, I have to think about it, old woman." However, I do have an idea, but whether it works out or not depends on your own creation. ”
Li Xiuyuan hurriedly nodded yes, secretly worried in his heart. Mrs. Liu attached herself to his ear and whispered a plan. It turned out that Mrs. Liu had a distant relative, and there was a daughter in the boudoir named Xiaowan. Although Xiaowan was born in poverty, she is beautiful and intelligent. Mrs. Liu planned to let Li Xiuyuan pretend to be Xiaowan's fiancé and go to the Wang family's birthday banquet to deal with it.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he hesitated a little in his heart. But thinking of his future, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Mrs. Liu immediately sent someone to invite Xiaowan over to prepare for it.
After a while, Xiaowan was taken to Mrs. Liu's house. When she saw Li Xiuyuan, a shy smile appeared on her face. Li Xiuyuan saw that she was born delicate and lovely, and he couldn't help but feel a little like it in his heart. But thinking of the purpose of his trip, he quickly gathered his mind and discussed countermeasures with Xiaowan.
The two had agreed to do so, so they were accompanied by Mrs. Liu and went to the Wang's birthday banquet together. At night, the streets and alleys of Qingxi Town are particularly quiet. The breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness. Li Xiuyuan was uneasy in his heart, not knowing what would happen next.
When I arrived at Wang's house, I saw that the lights were bright, and the guests were still drinking in laughter. When Master Wang saw Li Xiuyuan coming with a beautiful woman, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked Xiao Wan up and down, nodded and praised: "What a Peugeot lady, you are really blessed to be far away." ”
Li Xiuyuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly introduced Xiao Wan to Master Wang according to the words discussed in advance. After hearing this, Master Wang laughed, ordered someone to bring a wine glass, and asked Xiaowan to pour wine for him. Although Xiao Wan was nervous, her demeanor seemed down-to-earth and generous, which won everyone's appreciation.
The birthday banquet lasted until late at night, and the guests left one after another. Li Xiuyuan was also about to leave, but was left behind by Master Wang. Master Wang took his hand and said, "Xiuyuan, I think you are a promising person, and this little lady is also very virtuous." Why don't you just stay and marry the Wang family?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect things to come to this point, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Xiao Wan was also red-faced, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing this, Master Wang smiled and said, "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, and it's not too late to go back and discuss it." With that, he ordered someone to send Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan back.
When the two returned to Liu Miao's mother-in-law's house, it was already the middle of the moon. They sat under the lamp, looking at each other, their hearts full of mixed tastes. Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Today's events are really unexpected. I didn't expect it to come true, but it made a marriage. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wan raised her head and glanced at him, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She whispered, "Brother Xiuyuan, actually...... In fact, my heart rejoices too. ”
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart. He held Xiao Wan's hand and said affectionately: "Xiao Wan, although I, Li Xiuyuan, am not talented, but if I can have you as my wife, I will definitely cherish this life and live up to my good fate." ”
The two looked at each other, affectionate. Mrs. Liu saw it on the side, and she was also smiling from ear to ear, she said: "Okay, okay, since the two of you are in love, then the old woman and I will go to the Wang family to reply and settle this family affair for you." ”
After that, Mrs. Liu left in a hurry. Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan also cleaned up their moods and went home to prepare.
A few days later, the matchmaker of the Wang family came to the door to propose marriage, and the marriage of Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan was decided. On the day of the wedding, Qingxi Town was decorated with lights and gongs and drums. Li Xiuyuan rode a high-headed horse and married his beloved Xiaowan.
After marriage, the two respected each other like guests and loved each other. Li Xiuyuan no longer indulged in the imperial examination, but instead devoted himself to rural education, opening a school to teach children to read and write. Xiaowan takes care of the housework at home and takes care of her husband and children.
As the days passed, Li Xiuyuan's reputation gradually spread. His school attracted more and more students to study, and his home became more and more lively. And the relationship between Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan is also getting deeper and deeper in this ordinary and warm life.
A few years later, Li Xiuyuan's school cultivated many talented and beautiful people, and his deeds were also rumored to be good stories. And his marriage to Xiaowan has become a beautiful conversation in Qingxi Town.
Whenever night falls, the people in Qingxi Town will always gather together to tell the story of Li Xiuyuan's marriage through his wife. They all said that this was the result of providence and the goodness of people's hearts. And Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan also found their own happiness and satisfaction in this story.
As the years go by, Qingxi is still the same. And the love story of Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan has also become a legend that will never fade in this land, spreading a beauty and warmth, inspiring future generations to pursue true love and cherish fate. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan have spent dozens of spring and autumn together. Their children have also grown up, some have inherited their father's mantle and continued to teach, while others have traveled to other countries to pursue their dreams. And Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan, although they are over half a hundred years old, their relationship is still the same as before, and they grow old together.
One day, Li Xiuyuan sat in the study, flipping through the books and manuscripts of the past. He recalled his borrowing of his wife back then, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He turned his head to look out the window, only to see the sun setting, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the town, a quiet and peaceful place. A wave of emotion surged in his heart, and he wrote a poem: "I borrow a wife to spend this life, and my marriage is determined to be the same heart." The green stream is accompanied by a long stream, and the years are more leisurely. ”
Xiao Wan walked into the study and saw that Li Xiuyuan was writing poems, so she walked up to him and asked softly, "Xiuyuan, are you reminiscing about the past again?"
Li Xiuyuan put down the pen, held Xiao Wan's hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, thinking of all the things we knew back then, it's really like a world away." If it weren't for that birthday banquet, we might never have crossed paths. ”
Xiao Wan also smiled, she snuggled in Li Xiuyuan's arms, and said, "Xiuyuan, do you know? Actually, I have never regretted meeting you back then. Although I was a little panicked at first, then I realized that it was the best thing of my life. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of sweetness and satisfaction. They know that no matter how the years change, their love will be as eternal as ever, like the flowing water of a green stream, which will last forever.
As the years go by, the story of Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan is sung in Qingxi Town. Whenever someone mentions this loving couple, they will sigh at their fate, and envy them for decades.
And Li Xiuyuan and Xiaowan also found their own happiness and satisfaction in this ordinary and warm life. They know that as long as they have love in their hearts, no matter how many hardships and obstacles they encounter, they can work together to get through it to the end.

It tells us that the power of love is endless, and it can bring two originally strangers together and go through the ups and downs of life together.
