When it comes to the beauty with both talents and looks in ancient times, we have to mention the Eight Beauties in Qinhuai, among which Chen Yuanyuan is well known, but there was a Bian Yujing who was in the same position as her at that time. Although they are both beauties, Bian Yujing didn't get what she wanted to marry the one she loved, because their identities were so different that two people who loved each other could only miss each other.
Bian Yujing is a very lofty and talented woman, because her father used to be a big official, but unfortunately he died young and his family came down. In order to take up the whole family, he took his sister to Qinhuai River to make a living by his own talents. Bian Yujing's true temperament was even more extreme after drinking a few glasses of wine to relax. At that time, her admirers could be discharged from the capital to the outside.
But it was not until she met Wu Weiye. Wu Weiye's brother, Wu Zhiyan, was going to Chengdu to be an official, so he prepared a practice banquet for him. Wu Zhiyan had a wide range of friends, and naturally there was Bian Yujing in the practice banquet. So they met. Wu Weiye has always heard of Bian Yujing's fame, but she has never seen it. I don't know if the rumor is true, so she was tested at the banquet and was soon impressed by Bian Yujing's talent. Since then, the two have been in close contact and their feelings are very ambiguous. During a drink, Bian Yujing expressed his thoughts and asked him if he would marry her. But Wu Weiye pretended that she didn't understand, which made her very disappointed, so she never mentioned it again.
Why did Wu Weiye refuse the active pursuit of his loved one? It was because under the feudal background at that time, an official was a player, and their identities were very different. Besides, Wu Weiye was a family man, and if it came out, it would affect his official position, so he could only silently refuse. After all, Wu Weiye didn't love her so much and wouldn't give up everything for Bian Yujing.
