The wedding night was supposed to be a good time for the couple to linger and grind their ears and temples, but a strange bride had a problem in the night of candles in the cave room, forcing the groom to rack his brains between the beds, this unheard of bizarre scene is really embarrassing.
However, in the face of the couplet of the shy wife's "Water High Burst Twin Peaks Show", the scholar and groom made witty remarks and made a shocking couplet: "The river is tiled with ten thousand glows", which instantly warmed up the atmosphere of the wedding night.
According to historical records, this couple was a pair of talented and beautiful women in Ji'an Mansion in the Ming Dynasty. The scholar has been poor since he was a child, and he studied hard just to change his fate. After more than ten years of hard study, he finally passed the examination, but he was still worried about lifelong events.
With the help of his parents, relatives and friends, he tied the knot with the daughter of a wealthy family in the town. This young lady is not only outstanding, but also talented, and her parents invited a good gentleman to teach her poetry, calligraphy and painting, and she was involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
On the wedding night, after a lot of drinking, the scholar staggered to the cave room, and just lifted the bride's hijab, not wanting the bride to be interested in being a pair with him, so that he could go to bed. The scholar happily agreed, but he didn't know that the bride actually came to a sentence of "Twin Peaks Show on the Water", which immediately made him red-faced and speechless.
The ancients have always been subtle, and the bride's words are already very bold and explicit, which makes the scholars who have always followed the rules at a loss for a while, and they are in a dilemma. When he was embarrassed, the scholar settled down, and his eyes looked through the candlelight, enjoying the graceful figure of his wife. "Although this bride is a little eccentric, she is so beautiful as a flower, and her mind is so quick, it is not a good match."
Thinking of this, the scholar wittily came up with the next couplet "Wan Xiahui on the river surface", which is not only relevant, but also uses the river surface as a metaphor for the bride's flat abdomen, Wan Xiahui is a metaphor for the beautiful spring light of the candle night in the cave room of the two, which is full of fun, so that the bride is also blushing, happy and convinced, so she took the initiative to extinguish the candle and go to Wushan together.
Later generations commented that this scholar and groom were perfect and could be called a stroke of genius, and he deserved to be a genius who read poetry and books. If you change to a person who is more sluggish, I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself on the spot and mess up the cave room and spend the candle night.
As the Qing Dynasty scholar Wang Zicai said in "A Study of Bibliophiles": "Only talented and beautiful women can play poetry and play, and the meaning of beauty and purity is in ridicule, which can be described as elegant and vulgar." "
In ancient times, many beauties considered the talents of the people they liked in the way of poems and words, and chose mates based on the matching of talents and appearances, thus writing a series of good stories such as Chen Fan's high-rise Fu Yunying, Su Dongpo and Chaoyun's encounter.
Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said in "Zhuzi's Language": "When a husband chooses a mate, he must have both ability and political integrity in order to live up to this life." If you have beauty but no talent, although it is pleasing to the eye for the time being, it is not the way to stay with each other. "
It can be seen that since ancient times, the marriage of men and women must not only be the right match, but also have the same smell, so that they can be harmonious and harmonious. And the poetry answer is the best stage for talented and beautiful people to show their talents.
One party asks questions to test the wit of the other party; One side answered, showing smart thinking and solid literary skills. Sympathizing with each other, the love between talented and beautiful women often gradually heats up between singing and answering, and finally achieves positive results.
Nowadays, although this kind of elegant thing of poetry and words is rare, the beautiful tradition of husband and wife appreciating each other with talent and learning and laughing with poetry is in the same vein and shines. As Liang Shiqiu said in "Sketches of Yashe": "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes."
However, sincere love should be like poetry, which can travel through time and space, move the heart, and make people feel heart-to-heart and love each other. I hope that there are lovers in the world, who can be like talented and beautiful women, express their love with poetry, and harvest a happy marriage. "
