Prime Minister Zhang studied well and didn't do anything serious. At that time, everyone laughed at it. The prime minister is calm. A word a day, a pen, a book and a paper dragon snake. Let my nephew record it. My nephew turned a deaf ear when the waves were dangerous. He took the book and asked, "What is this word?" The prime minister has been familiar with it for a long time, and he doesn't know it himself. He scolded his nephew and said, "If you hadn't asked earlier, I would have forgotten."

Prime Minister Zhang likes calligraphy, but his writing is not neat. People laughed at him at that time. Premier Zhang will not change as before. When I get a good sentence one day, I will find a pen and write it down quickly. The paper is full of dragons and snakes, which is very scrawled. Then let my nephew copy it. When I copied the strange strokes in calligraphy, my nephew stopped because he couldn't understand them. Take the words written by Prime Minister Zhang and ask him, "What is this word?" Prime minister Zhang looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't know it himself. So he scolded his nephew and said, "Why didn't you ask earlier and let me forget?"
