Translation:
Zhao Sicheng, Haolei'an, a native of the capital. One day when he passed the home of a bachelor of the state of Lu, the scholar of Lu asked him: Where are you going? Sicheng said : I suddenly remembered that today is Mr. Xi Ya’s birthday, so I went to wish him a birthday. Scholar Lu said: Then I should go with you. What gift did you bring? Sicheng said: 2 handkerchiefs. Scholar Lu said: Then I will too. I took this with me and went into the house to look for it. There was no handkerchief. After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered the dried fish that someone at home had given me, so I asked my family to get it. They said that half of it was left. After thinking about it, Academician Lu thought that there was nothing else at home. He took the half of the dried fish and went with Zhao Sicheng. Mr. Xi Ya stewed the fish and bought wine, and drank happily with them, talking about things and singing to each other until they finished eating.
"Birthday Wishes for Scholar Lu"
Original text:
Zhao Sicheng, Hao Lei'an, was from the capital. One day I passed the residence of Master Lu. Lu said: "What do you mean by the public?" Zhao said: "Today is Mr. Xi Ya's birthday, and he will live a long life." Lu asked: "Why do you call me Zhi?" Zhao said: "Pa Erfang." Lu said: "I Zhi should also be like this. "When you enter Qiji, there is nothing." After hesitating for a long time, I recalled that I had been given a dead fish and asked my family to take it. The family reported that they had eaten and only half of it was left. Lu Gongdu's family had nothing else, so he went to Zhao with half of it to congratulate him. At the west end, I cooked fish and sold wine to drink the two gentlemen. They were so happy that they immediately advocated peace and stopped. .
