At that time, it was getting late, and he decided to stay in the town and have a rest. Having nothing to do after dinner, he wandered in the street, only to find a lantern hanging outside the house of a large family, which was shining and dazzling.

Looking closely, Wang Anshi saw a pair of half pictures clearly written on the lamp, "Run the lantern, leave when the horse is bright, and bridle the horse."

Wang Anshi immediately thought of half a pair of lanterns outside the stable and replied without hesitation: "As soon as the lantern lights up, the horse will leave and the light will stop."

He answered correctly quickly and well, which surprised the examiner. After the exam, Wang Anshi returned to Majia Town.

Just as the bride and groom were worshipping heaven and earth, a newspaper came to report: "Wang daren is the top scholar, please go to Qionglin banquet tomorrow!" " "I was overjoyed. Mr. Ma was overjoyed and immediately reopened the banquet.

In the face of double happiness, Wang Anshi wrote a big word "Xi" on red paper, which made people stick it on the door and recite casually: "The couplet is a double happiness song, and the lantern is flying." Since then, the word "Xi" has spread, and since then, the word "Xi" and the double happiness in marriage have become popular among China people.
