Chapter 1
Wilson complained the whole way.
He felt it was really unreasonable. He was only twenty years old and in the prime of his youth, but he should be persuaded to go to church and abstain from sexual intercourse? !
How can there be such an inhumane person in the world?
He went to see this very famous philosopher today. He originally wanted to learn his wisdom, especially his understanding of Eastern “Zen”, which is said to have helped many people get rid of pain.
Unexpectedly, he saw the arrogance of this philosopher. The most outrageous thing was that he even advised him to abstain from sexual intercourse. How could he bear this?
He feels that he is an upright man, and in the future he will still make a lot of money, become a politician, and marry the most beautiful wife.
After returning home, he ordered his subordinates to search for various resources everywhere, and they must find the most beautiful woman in the world.
He comes from a prominent family, is smart and handsome, what woman wouldn’t want to marry him?
Since he issued the notice, many people have come to provide him with information every day.
In ordinary families, he can visit at will to see if the woman is beautiful;
If the other party is also from a prominent family, he needs to estimate his dignity and will make an appointment to meet in the church.
When men and women meet, they pretend to be careless, but in fact their brains are running at high speed.
Wilson is very handsome, has read a lot of books, and speaks elegantly, which makes many girls feel lovesick when they go home, but he doesn’t like any of them.
Wilson had an aunt who said to him: “It seems that ordinary women are not worthy of you. Only the daughter of a stubborn priest, Yvonne, is worthy of you. It’s just that her father is very weird and will definitely not let you meet, but you must If you meet the girl first before you can move on to the next step, you won’t be able to do this.”
Wilson asked: “Why is he called a ‘stubborn priest’? How do you know his daughter is beautiful? If she is beautiful, why don’t you want others to see her?”
The aunt said: “This old man is a famous moral defender, and he is very lonely. He has a lot of property at home, and he never asks for help. He has never had a friend in his life. He studies alone at home. No matter who knocks on the door, he will not open it. There is one The guest admired his reputation and went to visit him. He knocked on the door for a long time, but he not only did not open the door, but also did not answer at all. The guest had no choice but to write a poem on the door and left. Two lines in the poem were: Thought sagely high the noble man his path doth keep,
Alas! The stubborn grown, just like a priest!
When he later saw the poem, he said: ’You can just call me stubborn. ’He adopted the nickname ‘Stubborn Priest’. He had no sons, only one daughter, Yvonne, who was as beautiful as a rose and unmatched. Moreover, Yvonne has read a lot of books, which were taught by her father, and she can write all kinds of poems and songs. Their family is very strict. Their daughter neither goes to church nor goes shopping. She is now sixteen and has never left the house. As for strangers, her father is guarding the door and no one can enter. Yesterday, the stubborn priest was standing in front of the door. When he saw me walking by, he stopped me and asked, “I heard that you are introducing marriage to others?” ’ I replied: ‘Yes. ’ He invited me to his home and pointed to his daughter and said to me, ‘This is my daughter. She wants to find a decent son-in-law to take care of her in her old age. You can look for it for me. ’ I recommended you to him, and he said, ‘I have also heard about his reputation for talent, but I don’t know what his moral character is like? ’ I added: ‘Wilson is mature, steady and of high moral character. There is only one condition: Wilson must see the girl with his own eyes before he can accept the marriage.” After hearing this, he lowered his face and said, “Nonsense! Only prostitutes can be seen by others at will. How can a noble daughter see men at will? ’ I saw him say this and came out. So I know that this marriage thing will definitely not work out. ”
After hearing this, Wilson thought to himself: “I have no parents or brothers now. If I marry a beautiful wife, I’m really afraid that she will cheat on her. Even if I’m watching at home every day, there are times when I go on business trips? This old man is so old-fashioned. , Stubborn, if I marry into his house, I don’t need to be careful. He will definitely take care of his daughter. Even if I travel frequently, there will be no problem. However, I still need to take a look in advance to see if this girl is really beautiful. ”
Thinking of this, Wilson said to his aunt: “According to what you said, this marriage is a good one. But please try your best to let me meet, just for a brief look.”
The aunt said: “This is absolutely not possible. If you don’t believe it, you have to ask a wizard to do the calculation. Should it be done? If the wizard says it shouldn’t be done, forget it.”
Wilson said: “That’s right. I have a friend who is extremely skilled in witchcraft. I’ll ask him to judge and then give you an answer.” The aunt agreed and left.
The next day, Wilson invited friends who knew witchcraft to his home.
They knelt down devoutly and prayed in a low voice: “God! We don’t care about anything else, just because the stubborn priest has a daughter named Yvonne. I heard that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I want to marry her, but I have only heard about it but never seen it, so I ask God: If she is really that beautiful, I will marry her; if she is not as beautiful as the legend, I will no longer consider this woman. Please give me clear instructions!”
After the prayer, the wizard cast magic and obtained a poem from the crystal ball:
In gardens where the rouged beauties bloom, the foremost one stands tallest, for truth in beauty’s guise is small.
A worry lingers, as the charms of seduction’s art may lead astray, At crossroads of the righteous and the wrong, one must discern their way.
Wilson was very happy when he saw the first few sentences, knowing that this girl must be very beautiful.
But I don’t know what the next few sentences mean.
So I prayed again and asked God for clarity.
After a while, a poem appeared again in the crystal ball:
In matters of the virtue and the fall, the women’s course is steadfast, true; Yet’tis the men who must with care their household keep, in balance due. With doors shut fast, no buzzing flies shall find their way, No jade’s flaw flies in from nowhere, on its path to sway.
Wilson watched for a while, feeling very happy. He thought: “God has made it clear that Yvonne is indeed beautiful. The following poem may be their family’s doubts about me, reminding me to be careful. I think there is a stubborn priest, an old-fashioned person, taking care of me. Nothing should happen. The last two lines of the poem also make it clear that the door to their house is closed and no one can get in, so I don’t need to worry anymore.”
So, he bowed to the sky, thanked his wizard friend, and then called the aunt and said: “God gave me two poems, which are very good. Now I don’t need to see them in person. You can go directly to propose marriage.”
