Return to the mountains and forests to make fun of grandchildren

Look at life and be indifferent to fame and fortune

Yang Wenduan, who has eight out of sixty, is promoted to the kingdom and sent to the government in advance, which can be regarded as a complete merit. He has his own mansion in Lin'an, lives with the third son Yuandao, and enjoys the joy of family. Who knows, the old man said that he was tired of living in Beijing, and he would return to his roots when he was old, Yang Yuandao had no choice but to inform the fourth brother to repair the old house and welcome the old man back to his hometown.

Yang's ancestral hometown is at the southern foot of Qinwang Mountain, Shanyin County, Yuezhou, during the Chunxi period, Yang Wenduan was an official to the Ministry of Rites, and his children have all started a family, so he took out the money to rebuild two sets of houses on the old house. The house in the east courtyard is larger, with three courtyards and four courtyards, which is prepared for himself and his three sons to live, and the west courtyard is for his younger brother Yang Wuduan. The younger brother did not go to school, he has been farming in the township, and has two sons, the fourth and fifth in line, with his official position, the youngest nephew Yuanwu and the eldest nephew Yuancheng's son are all enyin into the office. Therefore, his Yang family is extremely prominent in the local area.

Qin Wangshan's Prime Minister's Mansion was quickly repaired, and Yang Yuandao led his wife Xu and children to send his parents and two elders back to their hometown. The sons and nephews of the Yang family, who were doing official business outside, came from all over the country, and the sparsely populated Yueguo Mansion suddenly became lively.

The old man walked around every day, raised flowers, wrote and wrote, and quickly adapted to this leisurely and free life. Yang Yuandao's son Xinpeng was only six years old and was in the enlightenment stage, and the old man taught him to write calligraphy. An hour later, Xinpeng got tired and asked his grandfather to tell a story.

Yang Wenduan stroked his beard and smiled, just talk.

More than 100 years ago, there was a man named Huang Tingjian, who was very talented. When he went to Jiangzhou to be an official, some literati in Jiangzhou heard that Huang Tingjian was known as a "prodigy", and now when he came to his own ground, he was very unconvinced, so he asked Huang Tingjian to visit the famous places in Jiangzhou, in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to show his ugliness. When they came to the Jiangzhou Smoke Water Pavilion, they saw a pilgrim smoking a hookah. There was a literati whose mind turned, and he used the topic to play and chanted a couplet:

Smoke water pavilion, smoke hookah, smoke from the water.

After speaking, please Huang Tingjian to the next link. Huang Tingjian, without stage fright, thought of the "wave well" he had just visited, and blurted out the following couplet:

Wind and wave wells, fighting waves, wind and waves.

When everyone heard this, they applauded in unison: "Don't say that the waves rise from the wind, but say that the wind rises from the waves, which shows the wonder of the waves." Wonderful, wonderful!"

After that, everyone traveled all the way to a bridgehead called "Sixian Bridge", Huang Tingjian said: "Thanks to you, I am also making a comparison to help you Yaxing." Casually chanted on the couplet:

Sixian Bridge, Sixian on the bridge, Degao Thorn history is famous.

There are allusions here, the Tang Dynasty Bai Ju Yi Yuan and ten years were degraded here, for Jiujiang County Sima, made a long poem "Pipa Xing", the poem has a sentence "Jiangzhou Sima Qing shirt wet".

Everyone never expected that Huang Tingjian would oppose the guest, and turned them into an "army", and they were caught off guard, you look at me, I look at you, but no one can match it. Huang Tingjian saw that they were silent, and said with a smile: "I already have a link here, please advise:

Pipa Pavilion, Pipa under the Pavilion, amorous Sima tears.

When everyone heard this, they applauded in unison. In fact, Huang Tingjian still has something to say in this sentence, he compared the literati in Jiangzhou to the amorous Bai Juyi, because he couldn't get the next couplet, so he ridiculed them for "tears". It's just that these elm-headed literati only care about applauding for a while, and they haven't come back to their tastes yet.

Huang Tingjian and the others stopped and stopped, and unconsciously came to the "Little Qiao Dressing House". A literati arched his hand to Huang Tingjian and said: "A few years ago, there was a local scholar who was newly married, and on the night of candles in the cave room, the bride took this dressing house as the theme and made a comparison of the upper couplet, and the newlywed husband made the lower couplet, but unfortunately the scholar has not been able to come out, and later died of depression. No one has been able to do it for many years, please sir. ”

Huang Tingjian responded, let's hear it.

The literati shook his head and chanted:

Dressing upstairs, infatuated eyes, infatuated with affection, with the intention of flattering the gentleman, you are not in love.

Huang Tingjian is extremely smart, listening to this Confucian scholar repeating this couplet here and now, there is a sound outside the strings, and the words are intentional, thinking, these Confucian scholars actually compare me to an idiot to flatter, it is really ridiculous, I must compare the wonderful couplet, and pay tribute to them. When he looked up and saw the temple in front of him and the smoke-filled Yanzhi Mountain, he touched the scene, and immediately opened his eyebrows comfortably: "That scholar is too narrow-minded, I will come to the half-couplet, let him look under the nine springs." As he spoke, he chanted to the following couplet:

On Yanzhi Mountain, the fallen trees are Xiao Xiao, the flowers are Xiao Xiao, and there is no chance to know the spring breeze in the province, and it is difficult to stay in spring.

Only then did everyone realize that Huang Tingjian compared himself with the spring breeze, and compared their group of Confucian scholars to fallen leaves and remnants of flowers that had been defeated, with elegant rhetoric and puns on meaning, without any traces. Reading between the lines also answered the reason asked by Shanglian that "you have the intention to flatter the gentleman, but you don't fall in love". All the Confucian scholars admired it one by one, and everyone was impressed. Fang knows that Huang Tingjian's name of "prodigy" is true.

Later, after Huang Tingjian worshipped the great writer Su Dongpo as his teacher, his talent advanced by leaps and bounds.

One day, Huang Tingjian and Su Dongpo were under a pine tree by the lake in the south of Xuzhou, drinking and playing Go. The chess game was playing to a critical point, but a pine nut was blown off by the wind and happened to fall on the chessboard of the two. Su Shi picked the pine nuts in his hand and said: "I have a comparison of the upper link, if you can't play the lower link in the three chess, you should be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

Huang Tingjian looked at Su Shi's long flying hair, and said with a smile: "Mr. has this Yaxing, I should accompany him." If you can't do it, you are willing to be punished. ”

Su Shi smiled and said:

Panasonic Go, pine nuts fall with the chess pieces.

Huang Tingjian held a chess piece in his hand, looked up and saw that under the willows by the lake, there were people fishing, and he had already made a connection in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed. Su Shi believed that it was true, poured a glass of wine with a smile, and wanted to punish Huang Tingjian. Huang Tingjian pressed Su Shi's arm holding the wine glass with his hand, and said:

Willow edge fishing, willow silk is often accompanied by fishing wire hanging.

At sunset, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian returned home with chess. I saw that the sunset was brilliant, the twilight was golden, the water and the sky were one color, it was extraordinarily magnificent, and the fishing songs were singing harmoniously, melodious and pleasant. Huang Tingjian made a big fortune for a while, stopped moving, turned his head and said to Su Shi: "In the past, Cao Zijian became a poem in seven steps, and his name has been passed down through the ages. How about the two of us today in seven steps?" If not, take seven steps back. Su Shi also thought well, and agreed very happily. Huang Tingjian was afraid that Su Shi would play tricks, so he stepped forward and grabbed one of Su Shi's arms, and said a sentence:

The sunset reflects the water, and the fishermen sing all over the river.

Not only painted the scene, but also embedded the name "Man Jianghong" at the end of the couplet.

Huang Tingjian came out with a sentence, and dragged Su Shi forward with all his might, wanting to punish Su Shi for taking seven steps back.

Su Shi knew that Huang Tingjian intended to play tricks, so he immediately squatted down, and no matter how hard the little Huang Tingjian tried, it was difficult to drag. Suddenly, Su Shi suddenly let go of his hand, and Huang Tingjian fell to the side because he used too much force. Su Shi laughed and blurted out:

The snow flies into the sky, and the farmers sing all the joy.

This scene happened to make Yang Yuandao hear, so he asked, can he understand you talking about such an elegant thing?

If you don't understand, you have to speak, and after a long time, he has the desire to read and seek knowledge.

Knowing that the third son was here to say goodbye, Yang Wenduan stared at him and told him: Don't deliberately seek an official position, do something practical with your conscience, and have a hobby, it's enough. As he spoke, he looked out the window at the mountain peaks and thoughtfully:

Blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on, and behind the infinite scenery there are often hidden clouds. When it comes to promotion, everyone is willing, in fact, it may not be a happy event, it depends on whether the location is suitable, it depends on the environment and interpersonal relationships, if one of the links is out of the pool, the parties will encounter trouble, face embarrassment and even unlucky ending.
