Chapter 834: A Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia
Cui Yingying asked: "Just now you said that you are 'a pear flower pressing begonia', do you know what this sentence means?" ”
"This sentence is mainly used to fight against the previous sentence 'Graceful and suave over the star', which means that pear blossoms are better than begonia flowers." Zhang Zheng explained.
"Brother Zhang, what you said doesn't seem to be right, the original poem is like this: eighteen brides and eighty langs, pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear flower presses the begonia. The 'pear blossom' here refers to the eighty-year-old white-haired old man, and the 'begonia' refers to the young and beautiful young woman. It's about an eighty-year-old man, who pressed on the body of a red-faced young woman, and came to 'old cows eat tender grass', not who is more powerful than whom, so you belong to the words that don't reach the meaning and just use words indiscriminately. Cui Yingying said.
"After my sister reminded me like this, I was like 'I recognized the wrong man and went to the wrong bed', which was indeed the wrong word and the wrong place. My sister is so good, thank you. Zhang Zheng thanked.
"There's nothing to be thankful for, I majored, so I just have a little more knowledge in this area than the average person. Brother Zhang gave me a lot of surprises, so I should be thanked! Cui Yingying said modestly.
"What surprise can my brother give you? It's just to tease you, my brother is a fool, and he can't be real. For example, the sentence 'a pear flower pressing a begonia' is actually made by Su Dongpo, a talented man in the Northern Song Dynasty, who ridiculed his friends. Zhang Zheng said with a smile.
"Ahh Brother Zhang originally knew the origin of this poem? Cui Yingying asked.
"Of course I do. At the beginning, Su Shi's friend Zhang Xian married an 18-year-old concubine when he was 80 years old, and in addition to his excitement, he wrote a poem to express his feelings:
I am eighty years old and eighteen, and I am red and white-haired.
It is the same as the Qing upside down, only separated by a sixtieth in the middle.
After the great writer Su Dongpo learned about this, he composed a poem and ridiculed his friend:
Eighteen brides and eighty langs, with pale hair and red makeup.
The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear flower presses the begonia.
Yingying girl, isn't that the case? Zhang Daguan said to Cui Yingying with a smile.
"Brother Zhang knew so clearly, but ......"
"Sister Yingying, but what?" Zhang Zheng asked with a smile.
"However, to put it nicely, it was Brother Zhang who deliberately teased his sister, and it was ugly to say, but the eldest brother was a little suspicious of teasing his sister." Cui Yingying said with a red face.
"Hey! I said sister, my brother really didn't mean that, I was just fighting for sentences, how could I talk about flirting? Zhang Zheng said.
"Su Shi's ridiculous work is usually listed as colored text, and my brother uses it here, isn't there any suspicion of molesting my sister?" Cui Yingying said with a smile.
"Ahh Brother carelessly, blasphemed the pure fairy-like Yingying sister, it really should be beaten, but, after a while, the kid will pay a heavy price for his mistakes, and now I ask my sister to raise her noble hand and forgive Xiaosheng, Zhang Sheng is polite. After that, Zhang Zheng hugged his hands and gave a hug salute.
"Haha!"
Seeing Zhang Daguan's pretending demeanor, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, during the Qing Dynasty, there was also an official who wrote a similar poem, do you want to listen to it?" Zhang Zheng said.
"Of course I want to hear it, then ask Brother Zhang to talk about it." Ying Ying said.
