First of all,
According to legend, Wang Anshi, a geek who has lived in seclusion for many years, once said something big after serving as prime minister:
"Four horses are a scorpion, insects are silkworms, and the ancients made words, which is certainly not meaningless."
Su Shi asked, "Do you know why a pigeon has nine birds?" Wang Anshi asked cheerfully. Su Shi answered:
"Shi Mao said,' Du Fu is in mulberry, his son is seven Xi', and even the master and mother are nine."
Such a wonderful answer makes people laugh.
Secondly,
It is said that Su Shi has a younger sister, who is not inferior to her brother in intelligence and cleverness. Brother and sister often play with each other in poetry. At that time, Su Shi had a big beard, a long chin, a high forehead and deep eye sockets. Two people make fun of each other, but this is the scene:
Su Xiaomei smile elder brother:
"There was no place to find it after several quarrels, and suddenly I heard a voice from Li Mao."
"Last year, a tear of lovesickness has not yet flowed to my cheeks."
Mr Dongpo smiled at his sister:
"Three or five steps before appearing in court, go to the painting hall first on your forehead."
"I finally wiped my face several times, but I left two springs."
Although it has been verified that Mr. Dongpo has no younger sister, it was invented by later generations. But through these rumors, we can see people's true temperament, Su Shi's humor and interest in people.
Humorous people are often the most considerate, imaginative and considerate people, and only such people can find endless fun from ordinary life.
And those serious Taoists, respected by outsiders, are hard to like by their own families.
