There are two versions of the story about "son-in-law", which one do you prefer?
Now, we all call a satisfied son-in-law "son-in-law", but do you know the origin of this idiom? Some people who like to watch history may know that this idiom comes from Qin Mugong's daughter Nong Yu and son-in-law Shaw History in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Ideal son-in-law

Qin Mugong has a little daughter. When she was born, there happened to be a piece of original jade provided by other vassal States. Mu Gong found a craftsman and made it into a beautiful and flawless rough jade. When the youngest daughter was one year old, she used to "catch the week". This jade was put in a pile of gadgets and toys. The little princess has a good eye for treasures, and she won't let go once she grabs them. Later, it became her favorite thing to play with. So Qin Mugong gave her a nice name, Nong Yu. Nong Yu is beautiful, gentle and ice-smart. She likes elegant music such as ancient sounds, and is self-taught and good at all kinds of melodies. Qin Mugong asked a skillful craftsman to make a sheng out of rough jade, which sounded like a phoenix ringing. Mu Gong also specially built an open-air concert hall-Phoenix Terrace for her to perform against the boundless starry sky.

As the saying goes, when Nong Yu 15 years old, Mu Gong began to find a husband for Nong Yu, which is more demanding in Nong Yu, and most people still disdain it. "It's my husband who can sing with me. He doesn't want to." One night, he saw the moon and stars outside the window in the attic, so he asked the maid to play Feng Huangming with a sheng. Music reverberates in the night sky, just like the sky in Yue Xian. Suddenly, she heard a loud flute, which seemed to float down from the eastern sky, obviously in harmony with her own music.

Nong Yu looked at Zhuang Fasheng, but he didn't understand. Seeing the moon set in the west, it was getting late, and Nong Yu was in a daze. He dreamed that the Tianmen in the southwest was wide open, and colorful rays poured down on the balcony, like day. A beautiful boy (only Zhuge Liang has this costume in his mind) crossed Cai Feng and boarded Fengtai. Light lips: I am the master of Taihua Mountain. I am a fairy, and I should come here, because I am destined for you. "Then, take off the red Yu Di from me, lean on the bar to play the flute, and Cai Feng plays the flute and dances. Nong Yu asked him what it was. A: Hua is the first lane. Is this easy to learn? Since we are husband and wife, we will naturally teach you, so we can hold Nong Yu's hand. Nong Yu suddenly woke up and realized that it was a dream.

At dawn, Nong Yu told the dream to his father, Mu Gong. Mu Gong quickly sent Meng to Taihua Mountain to look for it. Sure enough, he found this man at the top of Taihua Mountain, with a crown and red lips. He is so proud that he transcends the worldly appearance. At first sight, he knew that he was not a mortal. Meng learned that the man's name was good at music, so he led him to see Mu Gong, who invited him to show his talents. Shaw History took out a red Yu Di, the jade color is moist, and it shines red in people's eyes, which is a treasure on earth. Just taste a song, and the breeze blows gently. Play the second song, colorful clouds in four. Playing the third song, I saw white cranes dancing in pairs in the air; There are several pairs of peacocks, who live in the forest: all birds are singing together, and only when time passes will they disperse. Mu Gong is very happy. When Nong Yu was in the curtain, he saw the difference and said happily, "This is really my husband!"

On that day, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. Mu Gong married Shaw History and Nong Yu, so the husband and wife sang with each other and enjoyed each other.

Because this Shaw History is a fairy among immortals, he doesn't eat human fireworks and only drinks a few cups of health wine every day. Although Nong Yu is a mortal, he also studied and practiced the art of breaking grain with her husband, and gradually he can be refreshed without eating whole grains. After half a year, one night, the husband and wife were sitting under the moon playing the flute, which attracted the red dragon on the right side of Fengtai and Cai Feng on the left side of Fengtai. Shaw History said, I am a fairy, and I can't live on the earth for a long time. Today, Dragon and Phoenix came to meet us. It is really time for us to go. The husband and wife rode the red dragon and Cai Feng respectively, driving Xiangyun, and flew into the sky, from which the son-in-law came. When Mu Gong heard the news, he looked around disconsolately and sighed, "Immortals have their fruits! If there is a dragon and phoenix to pick me up at this time, I will abandon the mountains and rivers like an ear! " So I ordered people to go to Taihua Mountain to look for traces of the gods, and there were still traces there. Mu Gong ordered people to build a temple in Xingyan, which was dedicated every year. Now it's called "Little Girl Temple".

In fact, there is another version of the legend about son-in-law, and that is the legend about Dayu.

It happened in Hongze Lake area. Dayu got married at the age of 30 because he devoted himself to water conservancy. According to legend, when he was passing through Tu Shan, he took a fancy to a beautiful girl who admired Dayu for a long time and agreed to marry him in person for a hundred years. For the next step of harnessing Huaishui, Dayu took the girl and her family away, arranged them in a village near the west bank of Hongze Lake, chose the auspicious day for marriage, and hurried on his way.

At that time, Hongze Lake was a huge project. To this end, Dayu adopted the method of gradually advancing from the lower reaches of Huaihe River, and finally overcame the difficulties. The girl finally looked forward to the auspicious day of the zodiac. The bride was dressed up, but there was no sign of Dayu. It turned out that Dayu was so busy at work that he forgot all about marrying a girl on this day until someone reminded him. But time is tight, and there are water monsters around Hongze Lake. At this point, I saw Ying Long, who was in charge of water conservancy with Dayu, coming from the construction site. Dayu had to go to Lapras to attend the wedding.

At this moment, the bride on the other side of Hongze Lake is anxious and everyone complains. After a sudden thunder and lightning, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that Dayu Lapras fell from the sky, which was a sigh of relief. According to historical records, after Dayu got married, he only lived with his wife for four days and left her. After that, in 13, Dayu went home three times, but he didn't go in. It was passed down as a beautiful talk, and the idiom "son-in-law" has been passed down to this day.
