When Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was in power, there was a famous talented woman in Jiangnan. Her name is Wu Qi, and she is from Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). According to historical records, Wuqi was born in a well-off scholarly family. Wu Qi's grandfather's name is Wu Ting 'an, and he used to be a triple ambassador. Although Wuqi's father has never been an official, he also has a reputation for filial piety.
Wu Qi, who grew up in this environment, received a good education. Besides, she is very talented and smart. She can write poems at the age of five, and thousands of words at the age of fifteen. She is also good at calligraphy and painting and has become a famous talented woman in the local area. Wu Qi is not only brilliant, but also graceful, and she is a peerless beauty with both talent and appearance. Therefore, as an adult, there was an endless stream of princes and grandchildren who came to propose their marriage to the Wu family, which almost broke the threshold of the Wu family.
Wu Qi's father loves Wu Qi, too. He finally found a talented son-in-law for his precious daughter. Wuqi's husband, Guan Xun, was a handsome man and a famous literary group at that time? Restore the club? One of the members was friends with Hou Fangyu, a famous gifted scholar at that time. Wu Qi and her husband Guan Xun have the same talent, looks and hobbies. After marriage, they often sing poems, play chess and play the piano together, and live a very loving and sweet life, right? Only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals? They are immortal couples.
As mentioned earlier, Wuqi lived in Chongzhen period, and the Ming Dynasty died soon after Wuqi married Guan Xun. Wu Qi's husband Guan Xun is a patriotic scholar. He didn't want to surrender, and secretly participated in sending troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The result was killed by Hong Chengchou who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, Guan Xun's family was not implicated. Wu Qi's beautiful life came to an abrupt end. The death of her husband dealt a great blow to Wu Qi. She began to stay at home, hoping to use time to heal her inner wounds.
However, how sweet love is and how deep sorrow is. Wu Qi will never forget her sweet past with her husband, so she lives in pain all day and becomes very haggard. In order to forget her troubles and stop sinking, Wu Qi became a nun. Shang Jian? From then on, there was one less talented woman named Wu Qi, and one more female nun who was accompanied by blue lights and yellow rolls all day long.
Mao Bijiang has long coveted Wu Qi's talent and beauty, but because Wu Qi is the wife of her friend Guan Xun, she dare not expect anything. Now that Guan Ju has passed away, Mao Bijiang heard that Wu Qi had become a monk. Isn't this sudden death? So he found Wu Qi and said that he wanted to accept Wu Qi as his concubine. Before marrying Guan Xun, Wu Qi did have a good impression on pioneering Xinjiang, but now times are different. She is Guan Ju's widow and has become a monk. How could she agree to open up Xinjiang?
Wu Qi is kind and unwilling to directly refuse to make a fool of herself. Instead, she took out a pen and paper and wrote two poems on the paper. Since I promised myself an empty net, how can I afford a weak water to buy a mandarin duck? Although you and I used to have feelings, now I have escaped into an empty net and become a monk. I must cut off my family ties. I won't promise to be your concubine and fly with you, so don't call my attention again. Wu Qi's poems are euphemistic, but the meaning is clear.
How talented he was, he naturally understood Wu Qi's meaning at a glance, so he stopped pestering him and turned away. But Mao Bijiang knew that it was not easy for Wuqi to live alone, so he took the initiative to pay for the construction of a temple for Wuqi, calling it? Do not leave the temple. , meaning? Love doesn't leave pain? Since then, Wu Qi has been fasting and chanting Buddha in the temple, and has never betrayed her love with her husband Guan Ju.
