In the bustling city of Chang'an, there was a young man named Cui Hu, who was handsome, lonely and pure, and rarely interacted with people. After years of hard work, he finally stood out in the imperial examination and won the title of Jinshi.
On a bright Qingming Festival, Cui Hu strolled alone in the southern suburbs of the capital and stumbled upon a secluded manor. He knocked softly on the door, and waited a long time before a beautiful girl poked her head out of the crack in the door. Curious, she asks about the identity of the visitor, to which Choi politely replies and expresses his thirst. The girl turned to leave, and soon brought out a glass of water.
In the courtyard, the two sat opposite each other, and the woman leaned against the small peach tree, with a graceful posture and a focused expression. Cui Wu tried to break the silence with words, but the girl remained silent. They looked at each other quietly for a long time, until Cui Hu got up and said goodbye. The girl sent him to the door, her eyes showing reluctance.
In the year since, Cui Hu has never set foot in that manor again. However, when another Qingming Festival arrived, he suddenly couldn't suppress his longing for the mysterious woman, so he resolutely went to find it. However, the door is still the same, but it is locked. He inscribed a poem on the door: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ”
A few days later, when he passed through the southern suburbs again, he faintly heard crying in the manor. He stepped forward to inquire and learned that it was a sad old father crying. The old man told him, "Are you Cui Hu?" You killed my daughter! Cui Hu was shocked and learned what had happened. It turned out that since the woman read Cui Hu's poems, she was depressed and finally died of hunger strike.
The old father was grief-stricken with the loss of his beloved daughter. Cui Hu was also deeply touched by this sudden tragedy, and he asked to enter the manor to pay tribute to the woman. When he saw the woman still lying peacefully on the bed, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He gently placed the woman's head on his lap and called affectionately: "Here I am, here I am!" Miraculously, the woman's eyes slowly opened, and she came back to life half a day later.
The old father was overjoyed and gratefully entrusted his daughter to Cui Hu. Since then, the two have been married and have spent the rest of their lives together. This legendary love story has also become a good story in Chang'an City, which has been passed down to this day.
