In the legend, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, one was captured by Linqiong County One of the talented people whom I ordered to serve as a guest of honor was a beautiful woman who had lost her husband and was newly widowed. Their story begins when Sima Xiangru visits Zhuo's family and plays and sings the famous "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" in the lobby of Zhuo's family: "The phoenix is ??returning to its hometown, traveling all over the world to seek its phoenix. There is a beautiful lady here." In the boudoir, the closeness of the room poisons my heart, why do we cross our necks to become mandarin ducks?"
Zhuo Wenjun, who was listening behind the curtain, was moved, and after meeting Sima Xiangru, they fell in love at first sight. Agreed to elope. That night, Zhuo Wenjun packed up his belongings and walked out of the house, meeting up with Sima Xiangru who had been waiting outside, thereby completing the most glorious event in their lives.
After Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru returned to Chengdu, facing the poverty of their family, they generously returned to their hometown in Linqiong to open a wine shop and sell wine as a gangster, which finally made their father, who wanted to save face, admit their love. . Although later generations of moralists called their elopement "promiscuous elopement", this did not prevent them from becoming role models for many couples in the future.
