Once upon a time, there was a couple who raised a smart and beautiful daughter named Qiaolian. When Qiaolian was eighteen years old, the master gave Qiaolian to a scholar in the east of the village without the knowledge of the girl and the wife, went to the banquet of the scholar, and received the money of the scholar. The wife gave the girl to the Taoist priest in the west of the village without the knowledge of Qiaolian and the master, ate the fish and meat of the Taoist priest, and received the gift of the Taoist priest. As for the girl Qiaolian, she also ordered a lifetime without the knowledge of her parents and Li Er, a farmer in the north of the village, and privately chose a good day.

Unexpectedly, on this day, the three sedan chairs were carried to Qiaolian's house to marry, and the family was confused.

The old master blames the wife for being unkind, and the old lady blames the old master for not discussing things. The young lady's face was pale, and she only hated that her parents should not do things. But things are already like this, and it is useless to be in a hurry. The young lady has to come forward in person and reply to the three greeters: "Since the three have come together, I have no choice but to be the only one. Qiaolian can only marry one person, and I will choose who is talented. Please summarize your conditions into four jingles and put them out first. At the end of the jingle, there must be three words:" bring "," love "and" come " so that I can choose each one."

As soon as the young lady finished speaking, the scholar said first: "I will take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone with me, and everyone loves to write poetry. It was useless to learn money last year, but it is more than enough to learn money this year."

The Taoist priest continued, "I take the book of gongguzhai with me, and everyone loves it when I read the scriptures. Last year's scriptures are useless, and this year's scriptures are surplus."

After that, everyone turned their attention to Li Er, a farmer. Li Er, who was kind-hearted, calmly said, "I will take the plow, rake and shovel with me." Everyone loves planting fields.

Finally, Qiao Lian managed her shiny black hair, moved her thin red lips, and said slowly, "I bring a comb and mirror with me, and I dress up to be cute. Please don't be surprised, gentlemen, the sedan chair from the field is disturbing you."

In this way, Qiaolian married Li Er, a farmer in the northern part of the village.
