In the long ancient feudal society, the love and marriage relationship between young men and women were bound by many rituals and systems, and they were often not able to make decisions for their own happiness.
It is the popularity of arranged marriages that has caused many love tragedies in history.
Of course, there are also many people who are trying to fight for their own happiness. For example, some smart and clever women will try to use some special ways to achieve the goal of finding a partner who matches their hearts.
Couplets, as a literary form rich in cultural connotation and wisdom, are one of the ways they choose.
The couplet consists of two sentences, and the woman can express her inner thoughts by writing the couplet. The lower link is not fixed, which is a test of the wisdom and talent of the person who comes to respond.
Men and women exchange the purpose of understanding through the confrontation, so as to screen the other half of the like-minded.
This is an ideal way for ancient women to choose a husband under limited conditions.
In a quiet town, Wan'er, a beautiful, talented, and well-known talented girl, took this approach.
Wan'er's family is relatively solid, and there is only one daughter in the family, so she has become the baby daughter of her parents since she was a child. When Wan'er reached the age when she should get married, her parents began to worry about her marriage.
It stands to reason that with Wan'er's conditions, it is easy to get married, after all, there are countless young people who fall in love with her.
But Wan'er sneered at the people who came to propose marriage, talented people are a little petty, and she was perfect in poetry and couplets, so she wanted to take the way of recruiting relatives in couplets to find a husband who was both talented and beautiful.
When the news broke, the men of the whole town were boiling. Some people are eager to try, and some people are grinding guns to review the knowledge of couplets, all hoping to one day stand out at the recruitment conference and win the hearts of beautiful women.
When the day of the appointment came, Wan'er prepared a total of multiple couplets, and she first ordered someone to start showing the first couplet: "Spring breeze blowing peach blossom smile".
This uplink has a beautiful artistic conception and describes the beauty and vitality of spring at this time. In fact, both the structure and artistic conception are relatively simple, and there are many people on the scene who can come out.
One of the young talents named Haoran is right: "Autumn water reflects the willow leaves".
The upper and lower couplets are opposite in meaning and harmonious in artistic conception, so they left a very deep impression on Wan'er.
The marriage ceremony continued, and Wan'er ordered someone to unfold her second couplet: the water fairy held a jade hairpin, and the sound was slow in front of the wind.
The difficulty of this link has obviously escalated a lot, which embeds the three words "water fairy", "jasper hairpin" and "slow voice", not to mention the name of the brand, but also depicts a beautiful artistic conception with sound and color, and it still has to have a certain literary foundation if you want to perfect it.
Haoran, who Wan'er was optimistic about, did not disappoint her, and when everyone else racked their brains to think about it, he replied loudly: The poppy beauty wears red embroidered shoes, and the moon attracts step by step.
In this lower couplet, "poppy", "red embroidered shoes" and "step by step" are also the names of the word plates, and they also depict a beautiful picture of vivid color, the structure and artistic conception are perfect and fit with the upper couplet, attracting a lot of applause.
Wan'er nodded, expressing her satisfaction, not only for this link, but also for the person in front of her.
Say three couplets, how can there be less! So Wan'er also announced the last couplet: the beauty in the painting, her eyes are silent.
This Shanglian actually implies Wan'er's careful thoughts, which not only expresses her beauty, but also implies her implicit affection, just waiting for someone to come to achieve marriage.
Haoran, who has an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows, heard this upper link, and immediately said the next link: the talented people in the audience are full of love and hard to hide.
His lower couplet not only fits the artistic conception of the upper couplet, but also cleverly expresses his admiration for Wan'er through the couplet, and everyone applauds him when they hear it.
Of course, Wan'er was very satisfied when she heard it, and after three consecutive trips, she felt that Haoran was not only talented, but also had the same heart as herself, so she decided to marry him.
When Wan'er thought of the Ruyi Langjun she was looking for, and the next thing she was going to marry Haoran was, she couldn't help but feel hot all over her body and her pretty face flushed.
After a few days of preparation before the wedding, Wan'er and Haoran completed the wedding ceremony with the congratulations of relatives and friends.
After marriage, the like-minded husband and wife have lived a happy and enviable life ever since.
