years old in the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Qingbo in Shandong Prefecture. He was 18 years old this year. He has been well-read since childhood, has a wealthy family, is majestic and gentle. He can be said to be a serious tall, rich and handsome man, but he has never found a suitable woman to be his wife. The matchmaker introduced him many women, but these women could not catch his eyes. Gradually, he also didn't care about his marriage and was still single.
On this day, Zhang Qingbo went to the teahouse to rest, drinking tea while admiring the streets of the city. There was a woman selling sesame cakes opposite the teahouse. The woman looked about the same age as him, dressed simply, and seemed to have a pretty face, but unfortunately, she grew a large mole on her face.
At this time, a few ragged beggars came over the street. They begged everywhere, but no one was willing to give them food. The vendors on the street quickly drove them away after seeing it. But when they came to the stall selling sesame cakes, the woman did not drive them away, but instead took out some sesame cakes and distributed them to these little beggars. The little beggars thanked them one after another and then left.
All of this was seen by Zhang Qingbo. He was moved by the kindness of the woman. This was the woman he was looking for. Zhang Qingbo asked the waiter: "Waiter, do you recognize the woman selling sesame cakes opposite?"
The waiter looked at the woman and said, "Sir, I really recognize this woman. She is the daughter of the Zhangtou family nearby. She is named Zhang Yueling. She is very virtuous, but there is a black mole on her face, so no one wants to marry her so far, so she has not yet gotten married."
Zhang Qingbo was deeply attracted by the woman. After entering the night, he began to toss and turn, and his mind was filled with Zhang Yueling's figure. The next day, before dawn, Zhang Qingbo took his entourage and the bride price to Lao Zhangtou's house.
At this time, Zhang Yueling was making pancakes with his father. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the door. Zhang Yueling opened the door and saw that it was a handsome young scholar. He asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Zhang Qingbo was very nervous when he saw it was Zhang Yueling. He said, "I am here to find Lao Zhang."
Zhang Yueling let Zhang Qingbo in the door. Lao Zhang warmly welcomed Zhang Qingbo. During the meal, Zhang Qingbo explained his purpose. Lao Zhang didn't expect such a young and handsome scholar to fall in love with his daughter. He felt very incredible, so he asked, "Young child, my daughter looks ugly, so many women, why do you fall in love with my daughter alone?"
Zhang Qingbo smiled and said, "Dad Zhang, your daughter's beauty is something that others cannot find. Please remember that I am infatuated with her, and you agree to me."
Lao Zhang asked, "Are you saying true?"
Zhang Qingbo said, "Of course it is true, I am infatuated with Ling'er",
Lao Zhang was afraid that Zhang Qingbo would regret it and wanted to agree quickly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yueling was confused and said, "My father is old now. If I get married, what should I do if my father has no one to take care of me?"
Zhang Qingbo said, "Ling'er, don't worry. After I get married, I will also take the old man to the mansion and take care of you. What do you think?"
Zhang Yueling was moved by Zhang Qingbo's true feelings and expressed his willingness to marry Zhang Qingbo.
A few days later, Zhang Qingbo and Zhang Yueling got married, and many guests came. When everyone saw the bride's face, they were very surprised and whispered. Zhang Qingbo was afraid that Zhang Yueling would feel uncomfortable, so he wanted to comfort her, but when she saw that she didn't care about it, Zhang Qingbo did not say anything.
The wedding night is not drunk, and people are drunk. After Zhang Qingbo came to the wedding room, he was very happy to see the person he had been thinking about day and night. When he lifted the red veil , he saw a very beautiful face under the red veil, which was red in white, like a watery fruit. Zhang Qingbo thought he was dazzled by drinking, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, and found that it was indeed a very beautiful face.
Zhang Qingbo was completely awakened and hurriedly took a step back and asked, "Who are you?"
The bride smiled and said, "My husband doesn't recognize me? I am your wife Zhang Yueling."
Zhang Qingbo shook his head and said, "No, no, Zhang Yueling has a mole on his face, but you don't."
The bride smiled and said, "Hehehe, the mole on my face was painted by myself. I don't want others to be with me because of my appearance. Besides, I haven't gotten married before, so who can I show you if it's so good."
Zhang Qingbo calmed down and observed it carefully for a while. It was indeed Zhang Yueling, very happy and said, "If you don't want to, your wife's heart is beautiful, and your person is even more beautiful."
After getting married, Zhang Qingbo took Lao Zhang to the house and took care of her with Zhang Yueling. The two of them have a very loving relationship and a happy life.
