"A county official is very stingy, and only uses a plate of meat to entertain the private school gentleman, which is thin and small. The gentleman mocked with poetry: "The master's knife is sharp and sharp, the master's mother's hand is light and loose, a piece is cut like paper, and it doesn't weigh much when it is lightly loaded." Suddenly, a breeze blew from the window into the sky. Hurriedly made people look for their traces, and they had passed the twelve peaks of Wushan. ”

This county official is not very literate. One day when he sat in court to try the case, the certificate handed to him by the master had the names of three people: the plaintiff Yu Gonglai, the defendant Qi Bian Diu, and the witness Xincao. The county magistrate looked at the name of "Yu Gonglai" and shouted: "Come up!" When the three of them heard this, they hurried to the front of the hall to listen to the fate. The county magistrate said angrily: "I called the plaintiff, why did you come together?" Then, he looked at the name of "Qi Bian Diu" and shouted: "Go down!" When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly retreated to the bottom of the hall. The county magistrate was even more annoyed and said, "Call the defendant, why do you go down together?!" Seeing this, the master didn't dare to say it directly, so he said: "The plaintiff's name has another pronunciation called Yu Gonglai, not 'all come up', and the defendant's name also has another pronunciation, which is called Qi Bian Diu, not 'Qi down'." The county magistrate asked, "What is the name of the witness?" He replied, "New cauldron." The county magistrate said, "I guess he has another way of reading, otherwise I would have called him 'Daddy'." ”

There was a gentleman who was a good drinker, and the servant often drank it secretly, so he dismissed the man and made up his mind to choose someone who didn't even know how to drink. One day, a friend introduced a servant, and the gentleman pointed to the rice wine and asked, "What is this?" The servant said, "It's Chen Shao." The gentleman thought that he knew the alias of the wine and that he would drink, so he didn't hire him. A few days later, my friend introduced me again, and the gentleman took the test again, and the servant replied: "Huadiao." The gentleman was secretly shocked that this man even knew the best in wine, but he still didn't use it. A few days later, someone came again, and the gentleman still questioned him with rice wine, and the servant shook his head and said he didn't know. He also questioned him with soju, and the servant said that he did not know him. The gentleman left the man behind. One day, the gentleman went out and instructed the servant, "There is ham hanging on the wall, and fat chickens are raised in the courtyard, so you must be careful not to lose them." There are two bottles in the cabinet, one is white arsenic and the other is red arsenic, and you can't move. If you eat it, your stomach will break and you will be poisoned immediately. "After the gentleman left, the servant killed the chicken and cut off the legs, cooked it, drank wine, and ate until he was drunk. When the gentleman returned, he saw that there were no chickens, no wine, and no meat, and that the servant was lying on the ground, so he kicked him awake and asked him where it was. The servant cried and complained, "After the gentleman had gone, the little man was watching the things in the house, and suddenly a cat came and ran away with the ham, and I went after him, and another dog came, and drove the chicken to the neighbor's house." I saw that I had caused trouble, and I was afraid that my husband would come back and blame me, so I didn't want to live, so I ate white arsenic first, and then I ate red arsenic, and I couldn't die, and now I was dizzy, lying here and struggling. ””
