At that time, his protege was instructed to ask Wang Dao for a son-in-law, and Wang Dao asked his protege to observe his sons and nephews under the east wing. When his apprentice returned, he said to Chi Jian, "The young people in the Wangs are very nice, but when they heard that someone was going to choose a son-in-law, they all looked very stiff. Only one person eats with his stomach exposed in the east bed, as if he didn't know about it. "
Chi Jian said, "This man is the best son-in-law!" When I asked, it was Wang Xizhi, so I married my daughter to him. A widow in Huiji keeps a goose, and her singing is very beautiful. Wang Xizhi wanted to buy it, but he didn't buy it, so he drove to see it with his relatives and friends.
When the old woman heard that Wang Xizhi was coming, she cooked a goose to entertain him. Wang Xizhi sighs all day. I once saw an old woman selling hexagonal bamboo fans in Jishan. Xihe is written on a bamboo fan, each with five words.
The old woman looked angry at first. Xizhi said to the old woman, "As long as it is written by Wang Youjun, the price can reach 100 yuan." The old woman did as he said, and people rushed to buy it. A day later, the old woman brought another fan, but she just laughed and didn't answer. His calligraphy is valued by the world, which is similar to this situation.

2, bamboo fan inscription
Wang Xizhi walked across a bridge in Yin Shan. An old woman went to a charity sale with a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, without any decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi was very sympathetic to the old lady. She went up to him and said, "There are no words on the bamboo fan. Of course not. May I ask you a question? " The old lady doesn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, I gave him a bamboo fan to write letters. Wang Xizhi raised his pen, wrote five words on each face, and then returned them to the old lady.
The old lady can't read, and she feels sloppy and unhappy. Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. " A Wang Hao left, and the old lady did as he said. This set of people is really Wang Youjun's calligraphy, and they are all eager to buy it. Bamboo fans will be sold out soon.
