The historical tradition of growing old together

Treat each other like guests, and take Qi Mei as an example. I'm talking about the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, two great talents in the Western Han Dynasty who wrote "Changmen Fu".

Sima Xiangru was down and out in his early years. After his parents died, he stayed with his friend JI Wang, a county magistrate. Zhuo Wenjun was the apple of the eye of a rich man in Lin Qiong (now Qionglai) in the Han Dynasty. Zhuo Wenjun was only seventeen at that time. This book describes the beauty of Wen Jun: "Her eyebrows look like mountains from a distance, her face is often like hibiscus, and her skin is as smooth as fat". She is also good at playing the piano, playing chess and painting, and her literary talent is also extraordinary. I was engaged to a grandson, but the grandson was short-lived and died in a hurry before getting married, so Wen Jun was widowed at home. Zhuo Wangsun has contacts with Wang Jiduo. Sima Xiangru, a young and lonely scholar and poet of the Han Dynasty, came from Chengdu to visit Wang Ji, a classmate of Lin Qiong County Magistrate. When the king magistrate gave a banquet, he also invited Zhuo Wangsun to accompany him. Later, Zhuo Wangsun was arty and fawned on the county magistrate, and invited Sima Xiangru to visit him. During the dinner, it is inevitable to play music. Sima Xiangru learned that Wen Jun, the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun, was beautiful and literary, so he played a song "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix". Zhuo Wenjun also longed for Sima Xiangru's talent for a long time, so he hid behind the curtain and eavesdropped, but he couldn't recognize the meaning of courtship in the piano. Two people are in love. However, they were strongly obstructed by Zhuo Wangsun and had to elope. After returning to Chengdu, life was hard, and Wen Jun pawned his headdress. Opened a restaurant, and Zhuo Wenjun sold his own wine. When the news reached his father's ears, Zhuo Wangsun had to take his new husband and daughter back to Lin Qiong because of his worries. But they are still content with poverty, self-reliance, opened a restaurant in the market. Wen Jun should be a servant and like a washing machine.

I hope the landlord likes it.
