It happens that Ximenkui, the richest man in Qinghe County, has a son named Ximen Qing, which is in line with Shi Naian's positioning of this role. In Water Margin, Ximen Qing is not just a child of a big family. Yan Shifan bullied the city and robbed his daughter, which made Shi Naian hate it. So he merged the background of Yan Shifan and Ximen Qing, and Ximen Qing in Water Margin came into being.
But the original Ximen Qing in Qinghe County, although he may be a bit of a dude, is definitely not what the novel describes, and he looks like a promising young man with a lot of brains in business. Later, he will make his father's career bigger and bigger, and his love with his wife is also very good. This is a historical story.
Prototypes of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian
Wu Dalang, formerly known as Wu Zhi, was born in Wujiana Village, Qinghe County. Born in poverty, he studied hard at a cold window for ten years, became a gifted scholar and became a disciple of Yue Longmen. Later, he did go to yanggu county, but he went to yanggu county as a county magistrate.
And Pan Jinlian is indeed Wu Dalang, that is, Wu Zhi's wife (collectively referred to as Wu Dalang for the sake of subsequent clarity), but Pan Jinlian is not someone else's servant girl, but a lovely girl, a serious magistrate, who lives in Huangjinzhuang not far from Wu Jia Village.
Pan Jinlian appreciates Wu Dalang, a talented young man, and often helps him. Later, he signed a life-long contract with Wu Dalang privately. Later, I met Wu Dalang, who was also a handsome man. He is the top student in high school at a young age, and his future is limitless. So he married Pan Jinlian to Wu Dalang. After they got married, they fell in love in harmony. Later, they raised four children.
