[Now that we have taken stock of Zhuo Wenjun, we have to mention Sima Xiangru. 】
[Zhuo Wenjun was only seventeen years old and became a widow.
In this era that is extremely harsh and rough for women, Zhuo Wenjun's future fate seems to have been decided, that is, when the end is approaching, the emperor will award you a chastity arch, but you will never be able to fall in love again in your life, nor will you remarry.
Maybe some people are willing, but some people prefer to break the shackles of this worldly world and strive for more happiness for themselves!
Perhaps it was God's pity, or God's will, but Zhuo Wenjun finally met Sima Xiangru. From then on, there was a love story that has been passed down through the ages, and a typical image of a heartless man was born.]
[Sima Xiangru, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru was also a star-level figure. He and Sima Qian were both unsurpassed in the literary world of the Western Han Dynasty.
Sima Qian wrote history and was the author of the masterpiece "Historical Records" handed down from generation to generation.
Sima Xiangru mainly wrote poems and poems. He had an article called "Zixu Fu", in which there are two fictitious characters, one named Zixu and one named Wu You, who are the creators of the idiom "Zixu Wu You".]
[Sima Xiangru was young, eager to learn, and extremely talented.
During the reign of Emperor Jing, Sima Xiang Bianru, who was only in his twenties, was selected to work in the central court and served as the regular attendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
But as a martial arts attendant, to put it bluntly, he usually doesn’t do anything important. He just rides horses with the emperor, and occasionally goes hunting with the emperor. If he continues like this, Sima Xiangru’s life will be ruined.]
[However, Sima Xiang was also lucky. Just when he was depressed and confused, he met the first noble person in his life-Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu.
Although Liu Wu was famous as a martial artist, he preferred to make friends with literati from all over the world.
A number of famous writers such as Mei Cheng, Zou Yang, and Zhuang Ji had already been recruited by him into the palace, and they became the first writers in China who could get paid without working.
When meeting this close friend, Sima Xiangru naturally tried his best to hug him tightly.
Later, he followed Liu Wu and slipped out of Chang'an, the capital, and came to work in Suiyang, Liu Wu's fiefdom.
As a meeting gift, Sima Xiangru wrote an article and presented it to Liu Wu. It was the song "Zixu Fu" that made Prince Liu feel like he was admiring Sima Xiangru.
In return, Liu Wu gave Sima Xiangru a guqin, the "Green Qi", which he had treasured for many years.
"Green Qi" is a famous piano passed down from generation to generation!
There is an inscription inside the piano that reads: "Tongzi combined essence", which is the essence of the synthesis of tung and catalpa. The ancients were able to "synthesize" it, which shows that the manufacturing technology of the piano is very advanced.]
[Sima Xiangru’s trip to Prince Liang’s Mansion can be said to have made a fortune.
One article can be exchanged for such a priceless treasure, and more importantly, this famous piano later became an important prop for Sima Xiangru to seduce Zhuo Wenjun.
How can you not be envied, jealous, and hated by others when you have both wealth and appearance?】
["Although Liang Garden is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time." A few years later, King Xiao Wang Liu Wu of Liang passed away.
As soon as Liu Wu died, the group of literati in his mansion had no support and had to go their separate ways to make a living on their own.
As one of the many poets, Sima Xiangru was naturally no exception.
Desperate, Sima Xiangru thought of his good friend Wang Ji, who was the magistrate of Linqiong County at the time, and decided to go and seek refuge.
The days when he first arrived in Linqiong were the most difficult period in Sima Xiangru's life.
Sima Xiangru, who had been wandering abroad for many years, had nothing to do except cheating some wine money with his poems and songs. Because he had lived a wandering life with no fixed place for a long time, he had not even solved the major problems in his life.
After hearing what happened to Sima Xiangru, County Magistrate Wang expressed deep sympathy.
But he himself is just a small official, and his abilities and financial resources are not enough for him to help Sima Xiangru stand up, so what should he do?]
[They discussed and discussed, and the result they came to was: taking advantage of this rare leisure time, they should first solve Sima Xiangru’s personal problems and life-long matters.
As the saying goes, start a family and start a career. If you want to start a career, you must first start a family.
Although Sima Xiangru already had a minor literary reputation in the capital and Prince Liang's palace, Linqiong was located in the southwest, and everyone was busy with their own affairs on one-third of an acre, and few people cared about news about the literary world thousands of miles away.
However, Sima Xiangru has real talent and learning, so this is not a problem for him at all.]
"Hmph! Is the liar about to appear?"
"I really feel sorry for Zhuo Wenjun!"
"Although it was a two-way romantic love story at the beginning, Sima Xiangru's approach of loving the new and hating the old, always abandoning it, is really disgusting!"
[It seems that these two people have some tricks up their sleeves. They came up with a way to gain both fame and wealth from each other - "hype"! 】
[County Magistrate Wang paid Sima Xiangru the best house in the city out of his own pocket.
Early the next morning, County Magistrate Wang brought specially prepared gifts and, surrounded by a group of government servants, went through the city with great fanfare to pay a visit to the distinguished guest from the capital, that is, Sima Xiangru.
Every time he went to visit Sima Xiangru, County Magistrate Wang would pretend to be very respectful. This situation lasted for several days.
Not only that, Sima Xiangru also asked the book boy to block the county magistrate's drive on the pretext of feeling unwell, in order to show that he was not just a casual person who could worship him whenever he wanted.
No matter what the real situation is, the posture you put in front of outsiders must first be determined!
As for County Magistrate Wang, even though he was blocked by Sima Xiangru's book boy, he was still not annoyed and remained as infatuated as before.
After being blocked the first day, he respectfully went to Sima Xiangru's residence early the next morning to pay homage to Mr. Sima.]
[Finally, the double act sung by County Magistrate Wang and Sima Xiangru aroused great curiosity from others. 】
["What kind of big shot has come to the county so that the county magistrate can condescend to him over and over again?"
Once it has started, it is then passed to ten, and then to a hundred, and the more it is passed, the more powerful it is, and the more it is passed, the more outrageous it is.
Finally, it didn't take long for the entire county to know that Mr. Sima was from the big city-Chengdu. He was selected to work for the emperor at a young age, and later became the guest of the King of Liang, which showed his great talent.
Honor, dignity is the best among men!
What’s even more rare is that Mr. Sima is still a single aristocrat. If anyone has a girl to marry, they should hurry up and take action!】
[This speculation not only made Sima Xiangru's famous, but also the worth of the county magistrate Wang Ji suddenly raised a lot in the hearts of the local wealthy businessmen and gentry. Little did they know that this was actually a good show colluded by the two of them.
Although Linqiong is not a big place, because it is a land of abundance, it has also created a large number of good merchant homes.
In fact, these people have the same idea as Zhuo's father. Since the family is not short of money, they should find ways to improve their reputation and status.
Coincidentally, I recently heard from the county that a big shot from the capital had arrived, so all the bosses in the county began to find excuses to go to County Magistrate Wang's Yamen.
There are many reasons, but they have only one purpose: they hope that the county magistrate can come forward and invite Mr. Sima out for a chat.
After making a fortune, Magistrate Wang's support was not in vain. Not only did they gain fame, but their pockets also swelled visibly. This was exactly the result they wanted.
And not long after, the richest man in Linqiong County, Zhuo Wangsun, also successfully took the bait!]
