Bai Qiulian writes about the love between men and women, but it does not fall into the old trap of "judging people by appearance and moving people by money." New poetry occupies an important position in their love life and is independent in love themes. , there is no sense of sameness.
Comic book version in vernacular
Once upon a time, a family named Mu in Hebei Province had a son named Chan Gong. He was smart and studious, and he worked very hard in reading and reciting poems every day. His father's name is Mu Xiaobao, and he is a businessman. He believes that there is no future in studying. If he learns some business skills, he can become the master of a family in the future. When Toad Palace was sixteen years old, he took him to Hubei to sell goods. Although Toad Palace was forced to engage in business, he did not relax his studies and picked up books to review when he had nothing to do on the ship. One night, Mu Xiaobao went out to socialize very late and did not come back. Toad Palace was reading poetry alone under the lamp. He turned around and suddenly saw a figure outside the window. Under the moonlight, the shadow was very clear. He ran out strangely and saw a very beautiful girl. She saw Toad Palace and turned to leave, but turned back and looked at him shyly before walking away. A few days later, they bought the goods and loaded the ship and docked at the shore. The father went out for something. Suddenly an old lady came to the ship and said that the Toad Palace had harmed her daughter. He was taken aback and asked what was going on. She said that she had a daughter named Bai Qiulian who was listening to Toad Palace reciting poems in the hotel. Now she was thinking about her day and night and couldn't even eat. So she wanted to marry her daughter to him. Toad Palace was full of joy, but he was afraid that his father would blame him and he would not make the decision. He told the old lady the truth. She didn't believe it and insisted on Toad Palace. Toad Palace refused, and the old lady left angrily. After your father came back, Toad Palace told him tactfully about the old lady's visit. Your father just smiled and ignored him. Because he is a sophisticated man, he thinks that there are no well-behaved girls in the world. They originally planned to leave the next day, but unexpectedly that night, sand suddenly rose up and the boat ran aground on the lake. Mu Xiaobao had to go home first. Toad Palace was secretly happy and wished he could go find the old lady right away, but he had no address, so he had to go back to the boat in despair. In the evening, I suddenly saw the old lady helping Bai Qiulian to the boat, and said to Toad Palace: "Others are in such pain, but you act like nothing is wrong." After saying that, she helped Bai Qiulian to lie down on the bed, but she left. Toad Palace didn't know what to do for a while. It took him a long time to get the lamp and walk up to Bai Qiulian. He saw that she was sick and delicate, but her two watery eyes were still shining as before. When he talked to her, she just smiled and said nothing. Toad Palace teased her to talk. and caressed her hand, loving her even more. Bai asked Chan Gong to read her a "Gong Ci" written by Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty three times. Chan Gong followed her request and read it twice before she slowly sat up and said her illness was cured. When Toad Palace asked her where she lived, Qiu Lian said, "We are strangers and we are not yet married, so why do we need to know where my home is?" Toad Palace stopped asking. From then on, the two fell in love with each other and vowed to become husband and wife. One night, Bai Qiulian suddenly burst into tears while reading a poem. Toad Palace asked her why she was sad. She said, "Your father is coming soon. I just read a poem. The meaning in the poem is very auspicious. I'm afraid we two..." Toad Palace hurriedly asked her. She comforted him in every possible way. He sent her ashore, feeling very sad. He held her hand tightly and said, "If father agrees to the marriage, where can I inform you?" Qiu Lian said she would send someone to find out. After saying that, he left. As expected, his father came back. When he learned about this, he suspected that Toad Palace had attracted prostitutes, and was even more afraid of any damage to the cargo on the ship, so he started to curse indiscriminately. After checking that there were not many goods, I gave up. In early May, it rained heavily for several days in a row before the ship could sail. Toad Palace stood at the stern of the ship and shed tears reluctantly. After returning home, he couldn't afford to fall ill. His mother went around asking people to treat him. He secretly told his mother: "My illness cannot be cured by taking medicine. Only Bai Qiu can cure it." His father was very angry after hearing this. But seeing that Toad Palace was getting worse and worse, he became frightened, so he hired a car to take Toad Palace to Hubei again. In the place where the boat was originally parked, no one knew the old lady named Bai even after asking everywhere. When he was in a hurry, there happened to be an old lady on the lake rocking the boat to the shore. Mu Xiaobao hurriedly stepped forward and asked about the old lady whose surname was Bai. She said that her surname was Bai. She let Mu Xiaobao onto the boat. Mu Xiaobao saw a very beautiful girl sitting on the boat. He thought it was Bai Qiulian that his son thought about day and night. I also secretly like it in my heart. He told the old lady about Toad Palace's illness and asked for permission to let her daughter come to his ship so that they could meet. But the old lady refused to let her go because there was no marriage contract between the two families. Bai Qiulian overheard and shed tears. After the two begged hard, the old lady finally relented. Seeing that Toad Palace was so seriously ill, she lay beside the bed and cried. Later, he read poems to Toad Palace and sang songs to him. After a while, he actually recovered. After Bai left, Mu Xiaobao saw that Toad Palace looked cheerful and said happily: "This girl is good, but she didn't grow up on a boat. She was always dishonest and couldn't get married." Meeting a few days later, Toad Palace After telling her what her father meant, she said, "I have seen through your father's mind. I have a way to make her change her mind and make him beg for me." Toad Palace asked her if she had any good ideas, and she said, "Any businessman, It's all about profit. I can predict the rise and fall of prices, so he can make a profit, so he naturally has to find me as a good wife." When Mu Xiaobao learned that Bai Qiulian could predict prices, he didn't believe it, so he took it as she said. Half of the capital was spent on goods that were going to increase in price. After returning home, it turns out that I didn't make any money on anything, but I made a lot of money by losing this small amount of money. Only then did I believe she had foresight.
So the father and son came to Hubei again with gifts to propose. The old lady agreed, but she refused to accept any gifts. After the marriage, Bai Qiulian only gave him a bill of goods for profitable goods and asked him to go shopping elsewhere. Three years later, Bai Qiulian gave birth to a fat boy, and they were even happier. But one day, Bai Qiulian suddenly lamented and wanted to go back to the south, so Mu Xiaobao took his family to Hubei. When they arrived in the lake, they didn't know where the old lady lived. Bai's face changed greatly, and he urged Toad Palace to go everywhere to inquire. Toad Palace saw someone catching a big white fish on the road and it was very pitiful, so he bought it and released it. After coming back, Bai Qiulian was nowhere to be found. At dawn, she came back by herself, saying she was visiting her mother. Toad Palace asked her where her mother was? She said: "She was the fish you released yesterday! In the end, the Dragon King wanted to marry me as his concubine, but my mother didn't agree, so yesterday's disaster happened." Bai Qiulian asked Toad Palace to go to the Turtle God to ask for help, saying that he would be here tomorrow. , is a lame Taoist priest, and only he can avoid this disaster. If he asks you what you ask for, just ask him to write the word "free" on this silk ribbon. Sure enough, there is a Taoist priest, and he is chasing the Taoist priest. The Taoist pretended not to see Toad Gong, and Toad Gong kept chasing him. The Taoist threw his walking stick into the water and jumped in. When he looked carefully, the walking stick turned into a small boat. He knelt down and begged again. Seeing that Toad Palace was sincere, he asked him what he was asking for. Toad Palace took out the fish-belly silk and asked the Taoist priest to write the word "free" on it. The Taoist priest opened the fish belly and said, "This belongs to white fish. Wings, how did you meet her? " Toad Palace told him what happened. After hearing this, the Taoist smiled and said: "This thing is very elegant. How could the licentious old dragon threaten her like this. "As he said that, he took out his pen and wrote on the silk. When he came ashore at Toad Palace and looked back, the Taoist priest had disappeared. After Bai Qiulian saw the writing, he liked it very much. He asked him not to tell his parents about this. Bai Qiulian was able to survive on the shore because he brought lake water back to Hubei and treated it like jealousy. Three years later, when the water was gone and his father didn't come back, Bai Qiulian fell ill in bed. Bai Qiulian sadly said to Toad Palace: "If I die, don't bury me. As long as you recite Du Fu and Li Bai's poems to me three times a day, wait until the lake water comes, drink it for me, and I will be resurrected." "She died after saying this.
