Xi Jian had a daughter, aged 28, named Xi Xuan, also named Zifang. He was born with talents and good looks, and Xi Jian's love was like a pearl in his palm. Xi Jian wanted to choose a son-in-law for his daughter. Xi Jian felt that Prime Minister Wang Dao's family had many children. He heard that all of them were talented and beautiful, so Xi Jian hoped to choose a son-in-law from among the children of Prime Minister Wang's family. One morning after court, Xi Jian told Prime Minister Wang his thoughts on choosing a son-in-law. Prime Minister Wang said: Well, I have many children in my family, so you can choose them at home. I will agree with whoever you like. Xi Jian ordered his housekeeper to bring generous gifts to Prime Minister Wang's house. When the children of the palace heard that Taiwei Xi had sent someone to look for his son-in-law, they all made great efforts, dressed up carefully, and came out to meet him, hoping that they would be chosen.

The housekeeper of Xi Mansion looked around and felt that all the young talents in the palace were very good. Finally, the housekeeper of Xi Mansion came to the study room of Dongkuaoyuan and saw a young man lying on his back on the bed against the wall. It turned out that Wang Xizhi was addicted to the ancient steles of Cai Yong, a famous calligrapher of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after repeatedly viewing them on the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion. , I didn’t take anything to heart, and I had already forgotten all about the blind date. When he hurriedly arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, because the weather was too hot, he took off his coat, exposed his chest and belly, and drank tea while thinking about Cai Yong's calligraphy. The housekeeper was shocked when he saw his expression and ignored his questions. The housekeeper of the Xi Mansion returned to the mansion and said to Taiwei Xi: There are more than twenty young masters in the palace. When they heard that the Xi Mansion was looking for a son-in-law, they all rushed to be the first. There was only one young master on the east bed, lying with his belly exposed as if nothing had happened. Xi Jian said: Haha, he is the one I want to choose! Xi Jian came to the palace and saw that this man was open-minded, elegant, talented and handsome, so he made a betrothal gift on the spot and chose him as his quick son-in-law.
