The top stars of traditional Chinese culture are Li Bai, the "poet immortal" of the Tang Dynasty, and Su Shi, the "Po Immortal" of the Song Dynasty.
For thousands of years, the two great gods, each with their own merits, have gained countless fans, and all kinds of anecdotes that happened to them have continued.
Compared with Li Bai, who always wants to ascend, Su Shi, who "can accompany the Jade Emperor on the top and the beggars in the Beitian Courtyard", will be more down-to-earth and have a more earthly atmosphere.
Su Shi is optimistic, open-minded, witty and humorous, and his attitude of calmly facing the ups and downs of life has inspired countless souls in the trough for thousands of years.
It is precisely because of people's love for Su Shi that there are various stories about his life's love, friendship, family affection, etc.
One of the more well-known is that he has a younger sister. I don't know the specific name of this sister, but the world mostly calls her Su Xiaomei.
Legend has it that Su Xiaomei is not only beautiful, but also talented, ice and snow smart, funny and humorous, so she often accompanies her brother Su Shi to make friends and discuss, and is a well-known talented girl.
It's just that this talented woman is a bit eccentric, and even loves to play tricks on people, and most men will be deflated in front of her, and even Su Shi, the elder brother of a generation of writers, will sometimes bow down to her.
Su Shi has a wide range of friends, so Su Xiaomei followed her brother and met a lot of people, such as the famous poet Qin Guan, the Buddhist monk of Buddhism, and many interesting things happened during the trip.
Once when Su Xiaomei was eating noodles, there was a "face-to-face noodles" Shanglian for Su Shi and others to match. Unexpectedly, the Buddha seal monk came out of the next couplet, and the little sister ran away ashamedly and angrily after listening to it.
What is the next couplet of the Buddha Yin monks? Let's move on.
Born in Fuliang, Raozhou (now Jingdezhen, Jiangxi), Foyin was a prodigy who could recite the Analects at the age of 3 and poetry at the age of 5. Later, he and Su Shi, who were like-minded, became friends and often drank and wrote poems together.
It is said that he didn't want to become a monk, but because he followed Su Shi to the scene of asking for rain when he participated in the imperial examination, he was given a shaving degree by Emperor Chrysostom by chance, so he became a monk.
Foyin, who was forced to become a monk, naturally had a lot of resentment towards Su Shi in his heart, so the two often scolded each other and ridiculed each other without affecting their friendship, achieving one beautiful story after another.
Once, Zen Master Foyin came to Su Mansion as a guest again, and it happened that Su Xiaomei was at home. Su Xiaomei had long heard of her brother, a flower monk friend who was a good "wine and meat", and this time she had the opportunity to come out to meet him generously.
After a friendly exchange of words and swords, it was time to eat, so Su Shi asked Su Xiaomei to cook a few bowls of noodles.
Su Xiaomei, who was on the rise, had to cook noodles very unhappily. Su Xiaomei deserved to be able to go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, and after a while, the fragrant noodles were cooked and served in front of everyone.
When the hungry Su Shi and Foyin were about to feast, they were stopped by the eccentric Su Xiaomei.
I saw the arrogant Su Xiaomei said: "It's not so simple to eat the noodles I made, the two brothers are full of poetry and books, it just so happens that I have a link here, you can eat it when it comes out, I'm sorry if it doesn't come out, let's cook it yourself!"
Su Shi and Foyin looked at each other, revealing a helpless expression and teasing: "There is no good face."
Su Xiaomei wanted such an effect, so she looked at the two people sitting down face-to-face, and came up with a link: eating noodles face-to-face.
There are three identical words in the simple five words of this uplink, and it is very in line with the current scene, which is indeed a bit difficult.
Su Shi is worthy of being a genius, and after hearing the upper link, he connected to the lower link after a little thought: people talk about people.
After listening to Su Xiaomei's praise, the number of words was the same, and she also described the scene where the three of them discussed literature, and the brother could eat noodles.
Su Xiaomei set her eyes on the Buddha Yin Zen Master again, and when she saw that he didn't move, she said proudly: "As long as the master admits defeat, then this noodle can still be eaten!"
Buddha Yin clasped his hands together and met Su Xiaomei's aggressive gaze, so he wanted to tease her, so he smiled and said to Su Xiaomei: Heart to heart is intimate.
After Su Xiaomei heard this, she immediately frowned, her face turned red, and then she ran away.
There is no problem with the lower link of the Buddha seal, but a monk actually said such intimate words to a little girl who has not left the pavilion, although it is a joke between friends, but Su Xiaomei still felt embarrassed at that moment, so she ran away with a red face.
The scene in front of him made Su Shi, who was eating noodles, laugh happily, and laughed at the Buddha Yin Zen Master: "You are really interesting, this time you will make people angry! haha."
The Buddha Yin Zen Master recited Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, but he ate the noodles with his hands, and he was still thinking in his heart, don't blame me, who called you this little girl too rude......
Of course, this interesting story is of course apocryphal, after all, Su Xiaomei is also imagined by future generations.
In history, Su Shi had no sisters, only three sisters, and only one named Su Banniang grew up, but she also died shortly after getting married.
The reason why there is a story of Su Xiaomei is because people like Su Shi and hope that his image will be more three-dimensional and perfect.
