Zhu Pan is an orphan girl who wanders around and makes a living by begging. When she arrived in Qingning County, her mother-in-law who brought her up died of illness, and she had no choice but to settle down here to earn a living.
She has no property, no job, and no skills. She can only make a living by washing and cooking for others in exchange for a few copper coins.
When the imperial court conducts a population census, it is hoped that these homeless people will find it difficult to pay taxes and need subsidies from the government, so Qingning County does not want to keep her.
The lady in charge of the village reminded her: "Pan'er, you are born with such good looks, why don't you find a reliable man to marry, and register as a household registration based on his status?"
Looking at her beautiful face reflected in the river, she began to look for a good husband wholeheartedly.

Cen Shi was a rough man who only knew how to associate with wood. He lived with shavings and sawdust all day long. He was taciturn but trustworthy and reliable. Unfortunately, he was too poor and no one wanted to marry him.
Zhu Pan gritted his teeth and borrowed two pieces of snowflake silver from the lady in charge, rented a small house opposite the carpenter's shop, and came to flirt with him every day.
"Brother Cen, the legs of my table are a little wobbly. Can you help me take a look?"
"Brother Cen, the pot lid on the stove is cracked. Can it be repaired?"
Most of the time, Cen Shi just raised his eyelids and looked at her. He said "hmm" in his nose, took the object, repaired it neatly, and didn't even look at it when he handed it back to her. The money was collected fairly, and sometimes even a few cents were missing.
As the days passed, the government officials came to her door to force her to leave, and she was almost running out of money. That little bit of hope was finally exhausted in the man's silence day after day.

The fourth son of Feng Yuan's maternal family, who was always romantic and gentle, fell in love with Zhu Pan at first sight and immediately sent a matchmaker to tell her that he was willing to take her as a concubine.
Zhu looked forward to Cen Shi's back outside the window, despairing of all thoughts. With trembling fingertips, he took the concubinage document which was equivalent to the deed of sale.
The news seemed to have grown legs and spread throughout the streets in an instant.
Cen Shi was hunched over, planing a piece of wood in his shop. Sawdust flew up and fell all over his head and shoulders. The neighbors' comments came intermittently.
After a pause, the plane made a deep mark on the wood.
He felt poor and had a dull temper. He could not give her wealth and happiness, so it was better not to provoke her from the beginning. But at this moment, hearing that she finally had a home, I felt very unhappy.
Amidst the flying sawdust, he rushed out of the shop and saw the familiar thin figure in the alley ahead. He was being half-supported and half-dragged by two servants from the Feng Mansion, and was about to disappear around the corner.
