Because of their careless friendship, the couple was scandalized into dwarfs and whores.

After accidentally making friends, an envied couple became the object of ridicule -

In the well-known Water Margin, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing are complete traitors. Wu Dalang became a dwarf selling sesame seed cakes, and was cuckolded by his wife at home, and was beaten to death by the adulterer and adulterer. However, a novel is a novel after all. After reading a lot of history, we learned that Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian did exist in history.

However, it is exactly the opposite of what it says in the novel. During the Song Dynasty, Wu Dalang was the magistrate of a county in Shandong. His wife happened to be named Pan Jinlian, but she was not a prostitute, but a well-educated noblewoman. The reason why they are so ugly in the novel and have become the object of ridicule by people throughout the ages is all because of careless friendships.

It is said that after Wu Dalang became an official, he used to know a poor scholar. At this time, he asked him to go to his home to visit him. He mentioned that he was looking for a job and wanted to work in Wu Dalang's yamen. Who knew that Wu Dalang was an official with a high corruption index? He didn't want to lose his principles, so he didn't agree.

However, although Wu Dalang did not agree to his request for a job, he gave him some gold and silver and let him live there before making plans, which was considered as a courtesy to the landlord. The down-and-out scholar, who failed to find a job, lived in Wu Dalang's house. After staying for a few days, he found that Wu Dalang's wife Pan Jinlian was as beautiful as a flower, so he was so bold that he started to tease Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian decisively rejected him and immediately turned away.

From then on, Pan Jinlian began to hint to her husband Wu Dalang to invite the down-and-out scholar back to avoid trouble again. Wu Dalang himself also noticed that the scholar's eyes were full of lust every time he looked at Pan Jinlian, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but now that Pan Jinlian had spoken, I told him to leave.

After this down-and-out scholar was driven away, he hated Wu Dalang's family. From then on, he worked behind closed doors and devoted himself to writing novels for Wu Dalang's family. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong happened to read the scholar's slanderous words when he was writing Water Margin, and he wrote them indiscriminately into Water Margin, which led to the subsequent ending.

This incident reminds us that we must be careful when making friends and stay away from villains, otherwise it will become an eternal joke by accident.
