Once upon a time, there was a rich businessman. His surname is Ling. His family sells medicine, and he became a vendor on the rich side because of selling medicine. However, he only has one daughter, so he cherishes her very much. Rich businessmen use the best teachers to teach their daughters and give them the best treatment at the same time, so that she can have a good learning environment. Therefore, Miss Ling is also an elegant and knowledgeable person. Seeing that his daughter was about to reach marriageable age, the rich businessman thought of a way, hoping that her daughter could find a good object and a trustworthy person to inherit their family's property. The method chosen by wealthy businessmen is: literary talent to attract relatives.
The so-called literary talent is to recruit relatives. To put it bluntly, Mr. Lin wrote three couplets, and then invited many talented people to do them. If anyone can satisfy the young lady with these three couplets, then that person is the son-in-law of the rich businessman. There is a scholar named Xiao who also worships Miss Ling very much. He knew nothing about medicinal materials, but he heard that Miss Ling used medicinal materials to make couplets, so he went to the drugstore for a long time and learned a lot of medicinal materials before marrying relatives.
The scholar solved Miss Ling's first two couplets easily, but when Miss Ling talked about the third couplet, the scholar was blindsided. The first couplet of this couplet is: Pulsatilla, Petunia plowing the land. This Chinese Pulsatilla, Petunia and Radix Rehmanniae are all medicinal materials. It's not easy to match three herbs with one word, and the sentences should be neat and up and down. But the scholar didn't flinch. He thought hard for a few days at home and thought of it: Fairy, lovesickness with matchmaker. This corresponds exactly to the upper part. The scholar completed the challenge, married Miss Ling and inherited the family property.
