In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Lv Mengzheng in Luoyang, Henan. He was born in poverty and made a living by selling words and writing poems. One day, Lv Mengzheng passed by the gate of Mr. Zhao's residence and saw a group of literati putting on airs and making a lot of noise. When asked, it turned out to be Mr. Zhao's son, who is in his 50 s. He was very happy, so he spent a lot of money to hire a scholar to be his doorkeeper. Now, these Confucian scholars are searching for their guts and fighting for no rights. Suddenly, NiXingGuan, the son of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, shouted "Yes", so he proudly wrote a couplet and posted it on the door of Zhaofu:
A son should inherit his father's career;
I will repay your kindness.
When the Confucianism saw it, it quickly flattered, and Mr. Zhao also had mixed opinions. Who knows that Lv Mengzheng, who stood by, couldn't help laughing: "This couplet is posted at the door, and I am not afraid of others laughing!" Seeing that he was a poor man with a coarse cloth and a blue shirt, Ni Guanxing proudly said, "Fuck off, you have no right to comment!" " Confucian scholars also gave a burst of laughter.
Lv Mengzheng in the face of ridicule insult, disagree, clear voice sing a way:
Look up and laugh at yourself for being poor, because you are poor and different from others;
Pull out the Longquan sword at the waist, cut off the poor roots and never be poor.
Nye Kwan Hing grabbed Lv Mengzheng and said, "What do you think is wrong with this alliance? If you can't tell me the reason, I will go to the yamen to sue you for insulting Sven! " Lv Mengzheng pushed off her hand and said confidently, "Do you want to sue me? I want to sue you! This alliance is not only rough, but also a disaster of genocide. " Hearing this, Mr. Zhao was shocked and bowed down and asked, "Guest, please tell me the cause of the accident." Lv Mengzheng said with a smile, "This alliance has reversed human relations and disrespected your father. How can I be a minister before the monarch and a son before my father? " When they heard this, they looked at each other and were speechless.
At this time, Mr. Zhao felt that Lv Mengzheng had a point, so he asked Lv Mengzheng to make another couplet to show off the lintel. When Lv Mengzheng saw the kindness and difficulty, he said: "There is no need to rewrite it, just change the words in the couplet and change it to' father's business; Monarchs and ministers can report. "Mr. Zhao see quick wit, young, and want to give it a try, then go out as their own, ask and:
Not old enough to think of pavilions;
At NiXingGuan Lv Mengzheng, smiled and said:
No one is a scholar.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao was full of praise and planned to betroth his daughter Daiju to Lv Mengzheng. At this time, NiXingGuan jealousy daihatsu, bad to ruthlessly sang 1:
How can there be a dragon horn in a cow's head?
Lv Mengzheng did not show weakness:
How can a dog's mouth grow ivory!
NiXingGuan immediately way:
A cold Confucian wants to climb Longfeng osmanthus;
Lv Mengzheng saw a statue of Buddha in the middle of the living room and said:
Sambo sits on the shore, sitting like a lotus flower.
Ni's poems are mediocre and silent. Although he was angry, he had to leave in frustration. Mr. Zhao was shocked and immediately sent the maid to the boudoir to tell her that she had chosen a daughter-in-law for her. Miss Daiju is smart since she was a child, good at poetry and songs, and has both talent and appearance. After hearing what the handmaid said, she told her father that she also had a couplet. If Lv Mengzheng could make a couplet, she could talk about marriage. Her first part is:
Lotus root is due to lotus;
Miss Lv Mengzheng is a homophonic couplet, then a wave of his hand:
Apricots do not need plums.
Seeing that she was clean and metaphorically right, the young lady couldn't help smiling and acquiesced in this marriage. After marriage, the young couple are like-minded, loving each other and inseparable.
There is another folklore about Lv Mengzheng's marriage. Please read the next article "Beautiful Couples in Gorgeous Buildings".
According to the Yue Opera Dream of Red Mansions, Lv Mengzheng was unexpectedly admitted because of winning the lottery. In fact, Lumeng had already taken a class before winning the color ball.
It is said that Lv Mengzheng's entrance examination in Beijing was postponed, the travelling expenses were exhausted, and she was down and out. One day, the daughter of Prime Minister Liu threw an embroidered ball to marry her husband, and the capital was very lively. Lv Mengzheng also went to join in the fun. Seeing him in rags, the doorman outside Cailou stopped him and said, "It's past the admission time. Can you punish him face to face? " Lv Mengzheng said with a smile: "You can't judge a person by his appearance, nor can you judge the sea." The guard was speechless by his words, so he took Lv Mengzheng downstairs to see Miss Liu.
Miss Yue, who is sitting on the colorful building, is 29 years old, smart and handsome, and can play chess, calligraphy and painting. The matchmaker stepped on the threshold, and friends and relatives were either royalty or official children. Liu, the prime minister, did not dare to allow this family to offend that one, so he had to make a list of "throwing colored balls" and find relatives and friends. When Prime Minister Liu told her daughter about it, Miss Liu cried sadly and said, "The colored ball is not long-sighted, which will ruin her daughter's life." Prime Minister Liu Yue said, "Do you keep your word?" Miss Liu asked her father to add one item to the list: On the day of throwing the ball, you must enter the venue on time, and if you are too late, you will be punished for class. Prime Minister Liu doesn't know what daughter means. Miss Liu said, "With this rule, playboys, embroidered straw bags and uneducated people will definitely enter the market early; A learned wit dares to be late ... "Liu, the Prime Minister, agreed to her daughter's request.
At the moment, Lv Mengzheng was taken to Cai Lou. Miss Liu opened the bead curtain and saw that although she was in rags, she had regular facial features and bright eyes, which was quite a bit of a scholar. She ordered the maid to ask May her name and age, and then she asked a question:
Black and white do not distinguish between north and south;
Lv Mengzheng blurted out:
Green and yellow didn't come for anything.
After listening to Lv Mengzheng's class, Teacher Liu feels very good. She pays attention to hierarchy and level, but she is not elegant, so she asked another question:
Fish umbrella with lotus leaf;
Oh, Yin adjusted her clothes and replied with a smile:
Trivial lice nest.
Miss Liu has another pair:
A silver gun can stop a million soldiers;
Lv Mengzheng waved a begging stick along with the sound should way:
Half a bamboo pole drives away thousands of evil dogs.
Miss Liu thought she was really talented, and even answered three courses eloquently. It's a pity that he kept silent and begged, but he couldn't help being funny and angry. Xiang Mei wanted Lv Mengzheng to succeed, so she said to the young lady, "Lu Xianggong was down and out, and suffered greatly. The lesson he gave must contain bitterness." She leaned to miss ear, miss smiled and made an antithesis:
On the cross street, it's called grandpa, grandpa, grandpa;
Lv Mengzheng suddenly eyes a bright, blurt out:
Hooray, hooray, hooray.
Teacher Liu immediately smiled, lifted the bead curtain, walked onto the stage with colored balls in his hand, and threw them at Lv Mengzheng, who had no intention of seeking relatives and friends. Lv Mengzheng load, lifted the broken cotton gown, a catch the colored ball.
