Inadvertently making friends, an envied couple became the object of ridicule by the world-

In the well-known Water Margin, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing were complete adulterers and adulterers, while Wu Dalang became a shorty selling baked wheat cakes, and was cuckolded by his wife at home and killed by an adulterer and adulterer. However, novels are novels after all. After reading a lot of history, we know that Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian did exist in history.

however, it's just the opposite of the novel. During the Song Dynasty, Wu Dalang was the magistrate of a county in Shandong Province. His wife happened to be called Pan Jinlian, but she was not an adulteress, but a lady who was sensible. The reason why they are so ugly in novels and become the object of ridicule by the world through the ages is only due to carelessness in making friends.

It is said that after Wu Dalang became an official, he used to know a ruined scholar. At this time, he was asked to visit him at his home. It mentioned that he wanted to work in the yamen of Wu Dalang, but who knew that Wu Dalang was an official with a high corruption index, and he didn't want to lose his principles, so he didn't agree.

However, although Wu Dalang didn't agree to his job application, he gave him some gold and silver to stay and make plans, which was considered as the friendship of the landlord. The down-and-out scholar who failed to find a job settled in Wu Dalang's house. After staying for a few days, he found Wu Dalang's wife, Pan Jinlian, beautiful as a flower, so he began to flirt with Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian decisively rejected him and immediately turned away.

From then on, Pan Jinlian began to hint that her husband, Wu Dalang, invited the poor scholar back to avoid another disaster. Wu Dalang himself noticed that the scholar always looked at Pan Jinlian with bedroom eyes, and began to disagree, but since Pan Jinlian spoke, I let him go.

After being driven away, this impoverished scholar bears a grudge against the Wu Dalang family. From then on, he wrote books behind closed doors and devoted himself to the Wu Dalang family. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong happened to read this scholar's slanderous words when he was writing the Water Margin, and indiscriminately wrote it into the Water Margin, which led to the later ending.

This incident reminds us that we must be careful when making friends, and stay away from villains, otherwise one carelessness will become a joke for generations.
