Chapter 136 Duke Wei nostalgically married Wen Ji

"Zhezhi" is a famous song and dance in Tang Dynasty.When Li Ao was the governor of Tanzhou, once at a banquet, musicians performed "Zhe Zhi".Among them was a dancing woman who was haggard and frowning, but she didn't look sick.A censor named Yin Yaofan who knew the reason wrote an impromptu poem: Li Ao was shocked after reading the poem, and called the woman to ask.The woman told Li Ao that she was the daughter of Wei Yingwu Aiji, the former prefect of Gusu.After Wei Yingwu's death, her brother also died. She was a lonely woman, she had no other choice, so she committed herself to the music club and became a dancer, humiliating her parents and ancestors.After speaking, wept bitterly.

Li Ao sighed for a long time, and said to the woman: "Don't cry, I have a little relationship with the Wei family." He asked the woman to take off the dance clothes, changed her clothes, and took her to the back hall to meet his wife Han.The Han family is Han Yu's daughter, so it is said that she has an old relationship with the Wei family.Mrs. Han saw that although Mrs. Webster was a dancer, she spoke elegantly, and she was dignified and beautiful, with a hint of ladylike demeanor, and she liked it very much.Therefore, Li Ao chose a scholar from among the guests at the banquet and asked him to marry Mrs. Wei.

Shu Yuanyu's servant heard about this incident in the capital, wrote a special poem, and sent someone to send it.The poem reads like this:
The poem uses the allusion that Cao Cao Nian had an old relationship with Cai Yong, and redeemed his daughter Cai Wenji, who was exiled to the Huns, and let her marry Dong Si as his wife.
