中國成語故事：黃公好謙卑
Huang Gong was a citizen of the state of Qi, whose shortcoming was his excessive modesty1 to such an extent as to debase himself in spite of the fact.
Though his two daughters where beautiful ,he said they were ugly out of modesty. Being brought up in the boudoir, the girls could not show their faces in public, so they were well known for their ugly appearances. As a result of which nobody in the country proposed marriage to them.
An aged2 bachelor in the state of Wei, who had not gotten married mustered3 up his courage, and married Huang Gong's elder daughter. Seeing she was a peerless beauty, he told others, "My father-in-law was just modest. His younger daughter must be beautiful, too!"
After these words spread, many people strove to marry the younger daughter. When the man who married her returned home, he found her to be a stunning4 beauty.
黃公是齊國人，他有一個毛病，就是一位謙虛甚至到了不顧實際、刻意貶低自己的地步。
他的兩個女兒雖然長的很漂亮，但由于做父親的謙虛說是丑陋，而養在深閨的女孩兒又不可能公然出來見人,以至丑陋名聲遠揚，全國之大，竟然無一人向她們求婚。
魏國一個年齡很大卻沒有找到的老婆的光棍壯起膽子，娶了黃公的大女兒，一看是絕色美女，興奮地對別人說：“我岳父不過是喜歡謙虛，她的小女兒肯定也很漂亮!”。
話傳開后，許多人前來爭聘。娶到小女兒的人回家一看，果然是國色天香。
