During the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan West Province ruled Hongzhou, in present-day Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, with a family surnamed Deng. The family has a small business, and the life is still relatively rich. Moreover, the Deng family has a son, Deng Yan, who has been brilliant since childhood, and is proficient in poetry and songs. In particular, poetry is known as a small poetry fairy, and there is an endless stream of people who come to seek poetry every day, and it is conceivable that Deng Yan's future must be extraordinary. Deng Yan is a good poet, and sometimes he even reads poetry in his dreams. This good habit that should be praised by others, but why did it end up being a laughing stock? It turned out that the cause of this incident was because of a contest to recruit relatives.
Everyone does not know that there are almost no real competitions in history, that is all made up, and it is better to say that it is more appropriate than the literary recruitment. Literati are favored no matter what period they are. Of course, the prosperous Tang Dynasty was even more so, so the people set off a contest to attract affection, in order to choose a talented dragon-riding son-in-law.
In fact, Deng Yan already had a marriage contract, and was the youngest daughter of the Chen family who had been friends with the Deng family for generations. According to her father, the little girl of the Chen family was a rare beautiful woman, but Deng Yan had never seen it, because if a woman did not get married, she would not be able to see her future husband. Whenever there is a contest on the street to recruit relatives, this Deng Yan heart is like an ant crawling over, and the technique is unbearable. Listening to those so-called literati chanting poems to the pairs, Deng Yan really wanted to go up and kill them without leaving a piece of armor, what "chicken, two legs, feathers, very beautiful." Hearing Deng Yan almost laugh out of the overnight meal, there was still a cheer under the key stage.
Finally, one day, Deng Yan really couldn't stand it, because he heard someone make this poem: "Ah, the rice should be eaten in one bite, and the vegetables should be eaten in two bites." Don't ask me why, because I'm hungry. "And I'm about to win and hug the beauty." Deng Yan laughed heartily under the competition stage, when someone recognized Deng Yan, and the man said in a loud voice, "Such a good poem, why are you laughing so foolishly?" Now this Zhihong Prefecture knows that you are a little poetry immortal, and you are proficient in poetry and songs, since you can't look at other people's works, why don't you recite a poem? ”
Deng Yan was young and vigorous, who could be so excited, and immediately replied, "So good, everyone listens." After saying that, Deng Yan's footsteps lifted up to the competition platform, and as he walked, he said, "Autumn farmers harvest a thousand seeds in the evening, the grains are golden for winter food, the sunset insects are singing into the night, and a handful of rice is fragrant and fruity." The applause from the audience sounded thunderously, and when Deng Yan was enjoying himself, suddenly someone grabbed his hand and said that it was too late and fast, and he was afraid that Deng Yan would run away, and he pressed it on the marriage certificate at once, so the marriage certificate took effect, all of which happened between the electric carbide fire, and when Deng Yan reacted, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
When Deng Yan saw the person coming, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry, it turned out to be Old Master Zhang, this contest was done by Old Master Zhang, then didn't he say that he was going to marry the Daughter of the Zhang family, Deng Yan had an impulse to die, he regretted it, why he was so impulsive, this is all over. It is not that the daughter of the Zhang family is not beautiful, on the contrary, she and her fiancée Chen family daughter are known as double pride, but her personality is very hot, and no one dares to marry. Such a fierce wife, if you marry home, can you still have a good life? You can see that Old Master Zhang lacks two front teeth, which is all due to the daughter of the Zhang family.
If you want to quit marriage, you can't do it, not to mention that the government does not allow it, that is, the anger of the Daughter of the Zhang family, Deng Yan can't bear it. In desperation, Deng Yan went home to inform his parents and prepare for the marriage. In the end, it was fortunate that the daughter of the Chen family also crossed the door together, otherwise Deng Yan's life could be described as a sea of swords and fires. In this way, the Deng family still heard The howl of Deng Yan's ghost like a wolf and the sound of sticks hitting. It was all impulsive trouble, deng Yan never dared to chant poetry again, and within a few years he went out to take the exam and went to the capital to become an official, because he really couldn't stay at home, so he laughed at what face he had to see people
