In ancient times, there was a country called "Shao'an" in the Yangtze River Basin, and the emperor's name was not said, and it was avoided.

The day is December 25th.

The emperor woke up early in the morning and heard a large group of eunuchs outside the palace shouting "Merry Christmas".

"Ai Concubine, why are these eunuchs outside shouting Merry Christmas? What does this mean? ”

The concubine replied trickily: "Your Majesty, you cut all their **, leaving only the eggs, but they didn't dare to complain, so they had to pretend to smile and say that the leftovers were happy." ”

"Oh, I see, in order to reward the loyalty of the eunuchs, you go and buy a barrel of wine, and wait until New Year's Day, and I will reward them for drinking."

The concubine bought a large barrel of good wine and put it in the hallway. The next day, she found that a quarter was missing, so she posted the words "Don't steal wine, drink it on New Year's Day" on the barrel. On the third day, a quarter of the wine was missing, and the concubine was very angry and posted the words "wine thieves cut eggs". On the fourth day, the wine was still stolen, and only a quarter was left, and now I couldn't explain it to the emperor! The concubine hurriedly asked the Queen Mother for instructions.

When the Queen Mother found out about this, she said to her: "Stupid! You don't put the word "urine bucket" on the barrel to see who still drinks it! ”

The concubine thought it made sense, so she complied.

On the fifth day she cried

…… The barrel is full.

On the sixth day, the concubine had an idea, and the words "no stealing wine" were pasted on the wine barrel.

As a result, many eunuchs cried......

I wish all the book friends of "Step by Step Frontier" a smile and a Merry Christmas!
