"The word is my husband", a seemingly ordinary couplet, it seems that any talented person can do it. But none of the talented people who really participated in it could play the best game on the spot. What kind of wisdom and ingenuity are hidden in this?
The Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the economic development led to the prosperity of culture. At that time, most of the women were also able to write poetry and paint, and their writing was outstanding. As the leading silk family in the Song Dynasty, the name of Shen Rou, the daughter of their own daughter, was louder than their famous product.
Shen Rou is not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. has reached the prime age but has not yet chosen the husband he likes, and everyone whispers about it. On this day, the Shen family posted a note on the door - the word "heaven" is my husband.
Shen Rou is finally going to recruit relatives! This move immediately attracted countless literati and scholars to flock to them, all of whom wanted to try their skills. I didn't expect Miss Shen's Shanglian to be such a simple sentence, which surprised everyone. have been brewing couplets in their hearts, but they have not seen masterpieces for a long time.
A young man dressed in white hurried to the scene, muttering a word. As soon as he arrived, he read out the next couplet aloud - a woman has a heart to become a wife. Everyone was stunned, such a wonderful sentence, they couldn't think of it!
The spring breeze is not as good as you, after all, this son directly hugged the beauty. So, who is this man in white? Let's take a look at the story behind this story.
During the Song Dynasty, the economy in the south of the Yangtze River was developed, and the silk industry was particularly prosperous. The Shen family has been in the silk industry for generations and has grown into a leading wealthy family south of the Yangtze River. Shen Rou, the daughter of the Shen family, has a name as beautiful as her person. She is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also proficient in articles since she was a child, and is also very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The Shen family loves her up and down, so Miss Shen is a little willful. She has reached the 28th Festival, but she has not chosen a satisfactory husband. Li ** saw that her daughter was older, and it was too late if she didn't get married. Li **, who has always doted on his daughter, also had a headache for this.
On this day, he was in reverie, and suddenly saw Shen Rou come in with a radiant spirit, carrying a scroll of paintings. She spoke: "I have an idea, and I will recruit relatives soon!" Li ** was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked his daughter how to behave. Shen Rou then said what she had in mind.
It turned out that Miss Shen was tired of her parents picking out some dignitaries or rich people for her, and none of them were satisfied. She wants someone who is not only rich and powerful, but also has real talent and learning to join hands with her. So she decided to imitate the ancients and recruit relatives in the form of couplets. She wrote her thoughts on this painting scroll, which is the Shanglian "Tianzi is my husband". This seemingly simple couplet has a deep meaning. Those who are brilliant will be able to match the next couplet, so that she can pick out someone who really has a heart for her.
Li ** was overjoyed after hearing this, and praised her daughter for her intelligence. He immediately instructed his family to post a note and hang the scroll at the door. The ancestors of the Shen family are rich, and Miss Shen is both talented and beautiful, as soon as such news came out, it immediately spread among the literati students in Jiangnan. They came to try to make the next couplet, and they fought to be this family.
On the appointed day, many people gathered in front of the Shen Mansion, all with sad faces. They pondered and meditated, but they couldn't find the next couplet. This seemingly ordinary couplet actually hides Miss Shen's thoughts. Among them, "the word "heaven is my husband", which means that the word husband is a little more than the word sky, that is to say, the ideal husband needs to be more outstanding than ordinary people to be worthy of himself. This hidden mind made the literati present think wildly but had no idea where to start.
As the minutes ticked by, people were disappointed. At this time, I saw a young man dressed as a scholar running in a hurry, and without hesitation, he read out the following couplet aloud: "A woman who has a heart will become a wife." After hearing this, everyone lost their color, such a wonderful sentence, they didn't expect it!
The young man in white was named Wang Yue, and he was an ordinary scholar in a neighboring city. Wang Yue is intelligent and studious by nature, and although he was born in an ordinary family, he is still fully committed to his studies. Wang Yue likes to read ancient books the most, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and he also has a lot of experience in Chinese language and writing. He is also good at writing and writing lyrics, and often writes words to express the emotions in his heart.
Wang Yue has a cousin who works as a bookkeeper in the Shen family, and the two families have a close relationship. My cousin often mentioned Miss Shen to Wang Yue in private, saying that she was extraordinary, intelligent, and almost unmatched. The cousin also privately revealed that Miss Shen has a tricky temperament and has never chosen a suitable husband. Wang Yue listened to the joke of his cousin, if you praise people like this, aren't you saying that your master's son is not good enough? My cousin had no choice but to shake her head.
Just a few days ago, my cousin suddenly sent a letter to Wang Yue, saying that Miss Shen was going to recruit relatives in the form of couplets, and as far as she knew, Miss Shen was already tired of ordinary husbands. Wang Yue laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart that this Miss Shen is really not simple. That night he began to meditate hard, trying to make a wonderful couplet. He repeatedly chewed on Miss Shen's personality and thoughts revealed by his cousin, and guessed what her uplink would be.
Within a few days, Wang Yue finally learned from his cousin the content of Miss Shen's link, which was just eight words: "Tianzi is my husband". My cousin also said that many people came to try the couplet, but no one made it. Wang Yue didn't answer for a long time when he heard this, but there was a look of clarity on his face. It turned out that he had already made up a couplet in his heart!
Early in the morning, Wang Yue got up early in the morning, cleaned up and stopped, changed into the new white clothes given by his cousin, and hurried to the Shen Mansion alone. By the time he finally squeezed into the crowd, he was out of breath. But he didn't feel tired at all, and said brightly: "A woman can become a wife if she has a heart"!
As soon as the next link came out, everyone present was in an uproar. This seemingly simple lower link actually echoes the upper link beautifully. The three words "woman, self, and heart" in "a woman has a heart to become a daughter-in-law" are superimposed to form the word "daughter-in-law", which means that as long as a woman wishes, she can marry into her favorite family, which is in line with the deep meaning of Shanglian.
After listening to the next link, Shen Rou smiled shyly behind the screen. She didn't expect this ordinary-looking young man to come up with such a good sentence! He was immediately invited to a seat and began to get to know the couplet boy.
It turned out that Wang Yue worked as a farmer to help supplement his family on weekdays, and studied hard at night. He is well-read and knows all about ancient and modern allusions. Most importantly, he is exceptionally intelligent and can put his emotions into words and write moving masterpieces. It can be seen that although he was born in an ordinary family, he has excellent knowledge and emotional intelligence. After Shen Rou learned about it, she liked this young man even more, saying that he was the ideal husband in her mind.
Within a few days, the two families made a family appointment. On the wedding night, Shen Rou asked Wang Yue with a red face, how do you make such a clever lower link? Wang Yue smiled and didn't answer, just stroked his new wife's hair. After a long time, he whispered: "I guessed your mind, this is my luck." ”
Miss Shen was ashamed when she heard this, and buried herself in his arms. She thought to herself, my vision is really right, this genius really understands me. What a happy thing it would be to grow old with him.
Soon after the marriage, the Shen family handed over the account room to Wang Yue to manage. Wang Yue was studious, shrewd and capable, and soon managed his business in an orderly manner. With the joint efforts of him and Shen Rou, the influence of Shen's silk industry in the country has reached a higher level. And the newcomers have also gone through ups and downs hand in hand in this career, and finally became a good story.
The ancients, like-minded people, even if the vicissitudes of life, do not change their original intentions. Wang Yue and Shen Rou are a perfect example. At first, Wang Yue only valued Miss Shen's talent and mind, but since the wedding night, this love has gradually brewed and finally mellowed like wine. And they have also achieved themselves in this foundation, walking through all kinds of ups and downs hand in hand, and witnessing the glory and prosperity of the Song Dynasty together.
We ordinary people may not be able to fully understand their minds, but this story has become a story for the ages. It inspires us to be the one who meets the truth. Even if you and I are ordinary, you might as well cultivate your own sentiments and knowledge. Maybe one day I will meet a person who has the same heart and heart, and join hands to the white head, isn't it beautiful?
It seems to be an ordinary uplink, but it contains a unique thought. This requires the opponent to have extraordinary insight and wisdom in order to be able to play the best link. Perhaps in our daily life, there is no shortage of such small foreshadowing and thoughts. The fate of acquaintance requires the hearts of both parties, so the day when you meet someone with the same heart will not be far away.
