Young Master Gu spends his days roaming the cat and playing with the dog at home instead of doing any serious business. Master Gu asked him to get a wife, so he picked a wife at random while holding the dog.
His daughter-in-law was the concubine of a sixth-rank official, and he had chosen someone to propose marriage. People said that concubines would not marry, but that they would marry their legitimate daughters.
Master Gu didn't want his legitimate daughter, so he went directly to his father and asked his father to propose marriage. His father said: "Are you marrying a fairy? I want you to propose marriage. Your father-in-law is so proud of me."
Young Master Gu said that he would not propose marriage and go to the countryside to marry a country girl, so as to save him a betrothal gift.
Master Gu was so angry that he scolded him, but he went to mention it to him. When he mentioned it, he only said one sentence: "My son has fallen in love with your concubine. If you agree, we will be the in-laws. If you don't agree, we will consider what to do."
The in-laws didn't say a word, so they knelt on the ground and said, "I agree."
After the marriage, the couple continued to play around with cats and dogs. Master Gu became angry when he saw his son and chased him to beat him. His wife was crying next to him. Master Gu comforted her and said, "My father doesn't hurt when he beats people. He has no strength to tie a chicken. Next time you see him, run away and don't stop him."
Intention: No matter what day, we must face it positively
