Couplets are commonly known as pairs and are deeply loved by the people. Throughout the ages, there have been many humorous couplet stories in folklore.
I am a real swimmer, a reader who loves couplets. Remember to follow me.
Today I share with you a folk couplet story: the bookish who sells words is difficult to know the county on the road, and the two wonderful couplets make the officials find themselves bored!
Speaking of ancient officials, it was very imposing. Officials walking on the street must let the servants carry the palanquin, sound the gong to open the road, and drive away the pedestrians, which is really quite domineering.
One day, there was a luodi reader named "Zhang Xiu" who was selling calligraphy and paintings on the street.
It also happened that the Lord of Zhixian County, that is, the County Grand Master, just returned from the incense on the temple outside the city, and a large group of people rushed to clear the scene.
The vendors quickly slipped away with baskets and goods, but Zhang Xiu's stall selling calligraphy and paintings could not be cleaned up at once. A calligraphy on the east side and a painting on the west side, it is still quite difficult to clean up.
Just after cleaning up for a while, the three servants rushed to Zhang Xiu like wolves and tigers, and viciously took out the chain: "Shusheng, you are really bold, or go to the squat prison!" ”
Zhang Xiu had read many years of books, and said without humility: "Have I committed any crimes?" Why are you arresting me? ”
The three servants laughed at the same time: "Nerd, the chain in our hands is the law, and we let you squat in prison, that is squat!" ”
Zhang Xiu was not afraid of danger, and smiled the same way: "For no reason, how can you let you come here?" Let Hu Wei come out of the palanquin and say that Zhang Xiu wants to talk to him! ”
One of the servants was furious: "Bold rebel thief, is the name of the county master your name?" ”
There was also a servant, but he was a little surprised, thinking in his heart: "This person dares to call the name of the county grand master directly, maybe he knows the county grand master, or don't mess around." ”
Therefore, he quickly stopped the action of his companions preparing to hit people, ran to the master's side, and whispered a few words.
Master Ye looked at it from a distance, felt that the scholar in front of him was extraordinary, thought about it, or informed the county master of the news.
When the county grand master "Hu Wei" listened, he was happy in his heart: "It turned out to be the stinky student who couldn't pass the meritorious name!" I think that when he was in school, he was a proud and arrogant person! Now what, can only be reduced to the street to sell calligraphy and paintings, poor! ”
Thinking like this, the county grand master naturally did not miss the opportunity to taunt Zhang Xiu, quickly stepped out of the palanquin, came to Zhang Xiu's side, smiled and said, "Who do I think it is?" It turned out to be an old classmate. Oops, where are the old classmates now? Why are there so many baskets around you? Is this to be a smith? ”
Zhang Xiu smiled, cleverly borrowed Tang Bohu's famous sentence, and immediately replied: "No alchemy Jindan, no sitting meditation, no cultivation for Shangjia." Idle to write and sell it in the mountains, and do not make the world make evil money. ”
The county master did not know that this was Tang Bohu's poem, and he smiled in his heart: "What is the use of this idiot who can write poetry?" Now this year, we still have to be able to get on the head, which is the right way. ”
Then the county grand master arched his hand and pretended to admire Zhang Xiu's talent: "Wow, Brother Zhang, you are more literary than before."
Just now the servant came to report that you were noisy on the street. If I were to deal with you, it would be no classmates, and I can't say it. But if you don't deal with it, you will let the people gossip.
In this way, the little brother is not talented, he wants to test Brother Zhang's pair, and trouble Brother Zhang's pair to come out of the next link. If Brother Zhang is out of the lower link, then everything is easy to say, but if Brother Zhang is out of the lower link, hehe... ”
Zhang Xiu saw the county master's intention of being difficult, but he did not have the slightest intention of fear, and smiled: "Then please know the county lord to come up with a question." ”
The county master's eyes rolled and he came up with a shanglian: "The township elder looks up at the sun and the moon." ”
This shanglian pun, ostensibly saying that the people look up at the sun and moon in the sky, but in fact they are complacent, saying that they are the county grandfather, and the people can only look up.
Obviously, in the eyes of the county master, Zhang Xiu, a poor scholar, naturally could only look up to his share.
Just as the so-called feng shui takes turns, the county master is to find the previous field.
Zhang Xiu knew in his heart, and as soon as he moved, he immediately said to the next link: "The farmer covers his nose and laughs at the article." ”
Xialian also said a pun, saying that the county master's article was written very smellily, which was nothing more than good luck, which made jinshi an official.
When the county grandfather heard it, he was very upset with the anger in his heart.
Therefore, the county grand master rebelled and continued to make things difficult: "Brother Zhang, I still have an upper link, trouble you to the lower link." Hold a short pen, write a long essay, occupy a high hall, sit in a big position, and manage the south and manage the north. ”
Obviously, this Shanglian is still the same old way, taking the opportunity to come up with the question, deliberately showing off his current status, saying that Zhang Xiu was managed to death by the county master.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Xiu picked up the bamboo basket containing the calligraphy and painting, and answered easily: "Take a hook knife, cut the bent bamboo, break the straight contempt, weave the flat basket, and load the east and the west." ”
The master next to him listened and thought in his heart: "Wow, the next link is simply a neat mother to open the door, the work has arrived at home!" And this lower link refers to Sang scolding Huai, saying that the county master is loading something, it is simply too great! Cowhide, cow gas, bull fork! ”
The county grandfather repeatedly, again and again, provoked and failed, and his face was very unnatural. Seeing the smiling faces of Master Shi and Ya Gong again, I really felt that it was not interesting to be self-pleased, and my face was dull.
At this time, the county grand master did not dare to continue to harass Zhang Xiu, and could only pretend that there was something wrong, hurriedly got on the palanquin, and slipped away!
When the servants saw this, they also looked confused and ran away with interest.
Zhang Xiu smiled and did not pack up his things, but instead took out the calligraphy and paintings and continued to sell them.
Soon, this story was spread among the people, making the people relish it!
