The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai
Once upon a time, there was a landlord surnamed Zhu, known as Zhu Yuanwai, and his daughter Zhu Yingtai was not only beautiful and generous, but also very smart and studious. However, due to the fact that women could not enter the school in ancient times, Zhu Yingtai had to lean on the window railing every day, looking at the readers who came and went on the street with bookcases on their backs, and was very envious! Can a woman only embroider at home? Why can't I go to school? She suddenly asked herself: yes! Why can't I go to school?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yingtai hurried back to the room and mustered up the courage to ask his parents: "Dad, mother, I want to go to Hangzhou to study." I can wear men's clothes and pretend to be men, and I will not let others recognize me, so promise me! Zhu Yuanwai and his wife disagreed at first, but they couldn't stand Yingtai's coquettish pleading, so they had to agree.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Yingtai and the maid dressed up as men, said goodbye to their parents, took the bookcase, and happily set off to Hangzhou.
On the first day of the school, Zhu Yingtai met a male classmate named Liang Shanbo, who was outstanding in learning and had an excellent character. She thought: Such a good person, if they can be together every day, they will definitely learn a lot of things, and they will definitely be very happy. And Liang Shanbo also felt that he was very close to her, and there was a feeling of familiarity at first sight. As a result, they often talk about poetry and literature together, care for each other in cold and hot, and are side by side, and they have no guesses. Later, the two became brothers, and they were inseparable all the time.
Spring goes to autumn, three years have passed, and the school year is over, and it is time to pack up, say goodbye to the teacher, and return to your hometown. After three years of classmates, Zhu Yingtai has fallen deeply in love with her brother Liang, and although Liang Shanbo didn't know that Zhu Yingtai was a girl, he also admired her very much. They reluctantly broke up, and when they got home, they missed each other day and night. A few months later, Liang Shanbo visited Zhu's family, and he was surprised and delighted by the results. It turned out that at this time, Zhu Yingtai he saw was no longer the handsome little scholar, but a young and beautiful girl. At the moment of goodbye, they both understood their feelings for each other, and they had already been heart-to-heart.
After that, Liang Shanbo invited someone to Zhu's house to ask for relatives. But how could I look down on this poor scholar, he had already married his daughter to the young master Ma Gongzi of a rich family. Liang Shan Boton felt that all thoughts were lost, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and died not long after.
Hearing the news of Liang Shanbo's death, Zhu Yingtai, who had been fighting with his parents against the arranged marriage, suddenly became unusually calm. She put on a red dress and walked into the sedan chair to welcome her relatives. The team of greeting relatives beat gongs and drums all the way, so lively! When passing by Liang Shanbo's grave, the sand suddenly flew away, and the sedan chair had to stop. I saw Zhu Yingtai walk out of the sedan chair, take off his red clothes, wear plain clothes, slowly walked to the grave, knelt down and cried loudly, and suddenly the wind and rain were shaking, the thunder was loud, and with a "boom", the grave cracked, Zhu Yingtai seemed to see her brother Liang's gentle face again, she smiled and jumped in. Then there was another loud bang, and the tomb was closed. At this time, the wind and clouds have dissipated, the rain has cleared, all kinds of wildflowers sway softly in the wind, and a pair of beautiful butterflies fly out of the grave and dance freely in the sun.
