The story of Qin Tiao Wenjun

After Liu Wu's death, he resigned due to lack of ambition and claimed to be ill. Sima Xiangru left Liangdi and returned to Linqiong, Sichuan (today's Qionglai City, part of Sichuan (administered by Chengdu City under the direct jurisdiction of the province), and lived in poverty. Linqiong ordered Wang Ji to make good friends with Xiangru and said to him: "Chang Qing, you have been away from home for a long time and are seeking an official position. It is not satisfactory. You can come and see me." So Xiangru lived in Duting, Linqiong. Later, Wang Ji visited Xiangru every day. Xiangru excused himself from illness, and Wang Ji showed even more respect.

When Zhuo Wangsun, a wealthy man from Linqiong, learned that "the (county) magistrate has distinguished guests," he held a banquet to entertain the guests and make friends. Xiangru deliberately claimed that he was ill and could not go, so Wang Ji greeted him personally, so Xiangru had no choice but to go to the banquet. . Zhuo Wangsun had a divorced daughter named Wenhou, also known as Wenjun. Because he had admired Xiangru's literary talents for a long time, he peeped at Xiangru from outside the screen. Sima Xiangru pretended not to know, and when he was invited to play the piano, he took the opportunity to play "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" to convey his love. Because Sima Xiangru I have also heard of Zhuo Wenjun’s name for a long time. Wenjun heard the sound of Sima Xiangru's piano and secretly looked at him through the crack in the door. He couldn't help being attracted by his style, grace and talent, and he also felt admiration for him. After the banquet, Xiangru conveyed his feelings to Wenjun through his maid. So Wenjun ran away from home late at night and eloped with Xiangru to Chengdu. Zhuo Wangsun was furious, claiming that his daughter had violated ethics, but he could not bear to hurt her, but he would not even give his daughter a copper plate.

Sima Xiangru’s family was extremely poor and had almost nothing except four walls. Zhuo Wenjun lived in Chengdu for some time and said to Sima Xiangru: "Actually, as long as you come with me to Linqiong and borrow some money from my brothers of the same race, we can manage to maintain our lives." Sima Xiangru listened. As she said, he followed her to Linqiong. They sold their carriages and horses to make capital and opened a hotel. Zhuo Wenjun worked as a clerk selling wine and taking charge of the store; Sima Xiangru wore an apron and washed cups, plates, and utensils among the clerks.

After Zhuo Wangsun heard the news, he was deeply ashamed and felt ashamed to see others, so he stayed at home all day. His brothers and elders all advised him: "You only have one son and two daughters, and you are not short of money. Now Wenjun has committed himself to Sima Xiangru. For the time being, Sima Xiangru was unwilling to seek an official position outside. Although his family was poor, But he is a man after all; Wenjun finally has something to rely on for his whole life. Moreover, he is a distinguished guest of our county magistrate, how can you embarrass him so much?" Zhuo Wangsun had no choice but to give Wenjun a hundred slaves and one million copper coins.
