Liu Xian is a native of Lingling, Jingnan.

His clan and relatives are in Lingling.

Historically, he wanted his nephew Zhou Budo to study in Lingling celebrity Liu Ba.

But Liu Ba couldn't refuse, so after the death of his brother-in-law, he brought his sister and nephew to Xiangyang.

A few years later, Liu Biao sent Liu Xian to Xu Du, and he also brought his nephew Zhou Budo with him.

Zhou Budo had a good relationship with Cao Chong, and after Cao Chong died, Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Pi would not be able to control Zhou Budo, so he killed Zhou Budo.

This shows how smart Zhou Budo is.

Of course, Shen Chen didn't know that this was a top-level smart person, so in the face of Liu Xian's request, he agreed with all his mouth.

Soon he saw what a prodigy was, and after returning to the academy, Liu Xian took Zhou Budo to see Song Zhong, and Song Zhong took the opportunity to arrange for him to be given to Shen Chen and asked him to do a Mongolian study for Zhou Budo.

The current Shen Chen has long been different from what it used to be, in the past two years in the Xianshan Academy, the books he has read and the knowledge brought by later generations, even Wang Cang praised him for his talent.

But when I gave Zhou Budo a study, I found that Zhou Budo, who is only five years old this year, is actually very smart, and all the Mengxue has been memorized.

As a last resort, he could only teach him other books, such as "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", "Zhou Yi" and the like, which reluctantly suppressed him.

After less than a month, these books will be memorized every week, but fortunately, he can only read and memorize, and the annotations in them are enough for him to learn for a year and a half, so Shen Chen will continue to teach, and it is impossible to hollow him out.

On June 14, it was late summer.

On this day, the weather was good, and Wang Cang invited his friends Sun Meng, Pan Jun, Shen Chen, and several other Song Zhong students to go to the area of Zhonglu Mountain in the northwest of Xiangyang to visit the hermits.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and came to Zhonglu Mountain in the afternoon, and they visited a great Confucian today, called Handan Chun.

In later generations, many people thought that Jingzhou celebrities were just Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and others, but in fact, compared with the chaos in the Central Plains, the political situation in Jingzhou was very stable, so a large number of celebrities and scholars poured here.

Like Wang Cang and his friend Shi Sun Meng, as well as this Handan Chun, who is 64 years old this year, is a very famous calligrapher in the late Han Dynasty. He lived a very long life, until the Cao Wei period, and was known as Cao Zhi's "four friends" along with Ding Yi, Ding Hui, and Yang Xiu.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, more emphasis was placed on scriptures, but poetry, painting, and calligraphy gradually took shape. For example, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty himself loved calligraphy and painting, created Hongdu Gate Learning, specialized in cultivating calligraphers and painters, and was able to give the official position of a county order as soon as he graduated.

As the so-called upward and downward effect, under the promotion of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, calligraphy and painting have slowly become the mainstream.

And the wind of writing poetry at the end of the Han Dynasty is also very heavy, Wang Cang himself is a famous poet at that time, Handan Chun also writes poetry, but not as good as Wang Cang, Wang Cang likes calligraphy, but not as good as Handan Chun's calligraphy, so the two admire each other, today is to come to visit.

At the foot of Zhonglu Mountain, I have seen the courtyards of houses from a distance, Handan Chun is a guest of Liu Biaomen, and he is also from Yingchuan Handan, and the place where he lives is naturally not bad, which is equivalent to a country villa in the Han Dynasty.

After a few people came over, they saw a huge banyan tree in front of the courtyard, the branches of the tree were dense, the branches were lush, and under the tree there was an old man who set up a table and wrote articles on paper.

It is more difficult for ordinary people to get paper, but it is easy for the big families. In fact, Shen Chen is also studying the papermaking production process now, hoping to make a fortune with it.

The old man wrote for a while, and before everyone could get closer, he suddenly laughed happily, and sat on the seat on the ground with a hearty stomach.

The servants who were waiting for him to write were used to it, and they stood by one by one, and no one went up to ask him what was wrong.

This situation confused Wang Cang and others.

Shen Chen laughed at him for no reason, and said in his heart What kind of illness is this, this will have to be sent to the psychiatric department in the future life.

When the old man was almost out of breath with laughter, and got up from the ground to drink saliva, they stepped forward with doubts and said, "Mr. Zishu." ”

Handan Chun turned his head and said in surprise: "You are?" ”

"My name is Wang Cang, and my name is Zhongxuan."

Wang Cang smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. lives in seclusion here, so I came to visit." ”

Handan Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "It turned out to be Wang Zhongxuan, I have heard your name a long time ago, Anu, go and get a few more seats." ”

And the servant who was by him went and fetched the mat.

Wang Cang introduced: "Sir, these are my friends, this is the son of Jun Ronggong, Shisun Meng." ”

Shisun Meng arched his hand and said, "Meng, I've seen Mr. Zishu." ”

"These are Mr. Nakako's students."

"My name is Pan Jun, my name is Chengming, and I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Wang Han, the word Derong, and I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Zhou Sheng, my words are broad, and I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Shen Chen, and I've met Mr. Zishu."

Several people saluted one by one.

At this time, the slave had already brought the mat, and Handan Chun said, "A few little friends, please sit down." ”

"Thank you, sir."

And when they were seated, the servants brought the table and prepared wine and fruit.

After everyone sat down, Wang Cang said curiously: "I saw Mr. laughing just now, somehow?" What is it that makes him so happy? ”

Handan Chun still retained a smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "I remembered a story just now, so I laughed uncontrollably." ”

"Oh?"

Wang Cang and the others were very curious, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Then I'll tell you."

Handan Chun said happily: "This story is like this, a certain Chu man lives in poverty, and when he reads "Huainan", he has to "the praying mantis serves the cicada and can be invisible from its leaves", so he took the leaves under the tree. The praying mantis holds the leaves and serves the cicadas, to pick them, and the leaves fall under the tree; There are fallen leaves under the tree first, and they can't be redivided. Yi Ye asked his wife, "Do you see me?" The wife replied, "See," and said that she was tired of it, and she said, "I don't see it." "Silently overjoyed, the leaves entered the city to take the characters on the opposite side, and the officials tied up the county. The county was resigned, and said that it was the end. The official laughed and let it go. You say, "Ridiculous?" ”

"Hahahaha."

A few people laughed low, and were amused by Handan Chun's jokes, and patted the table and said, "This Chu person is too stupid." ”

"It's funny."

Handan Chun amused himself again.

Only Shen Chen was smiling awkwardly on the side, with a smile on his face, and MMP in his heart.

TMD。

The second volume of the third grade of the People's Education Edition of Chinese "A Leaf Obstacle", it turned out to be made up by you, an old boy?

Not only did I have to memorize the full text, but I also had to write it silently before I could go home from school.

You horrible whale.

Shen Chen scolded in his heart, and his friends next to him were laughing, but he couldn't laugh, tears rolling in his stomach.

Pity the schoolchildren of later generations.

"Why don't you laugh?"

Handan Chun looked at Shen Chen in confusion and said, "You are Shen Chen, you have been quite famous in Jingzhou in the past two years, isn't it funny for me to say?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "The story that Mr. told is very funny, but I have an even funnier story. ”

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at Shen Chen, and Handan Chun said, "What a funny story you have?" ”

Shen Chen said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, on the eve of the Battle of Hongshui, there was a Song man on the street: Song Zifu was like a stupid dolphin. The county marshal asked why, and said to himself. He was sentenced to 22 years. Two years for the crime of insulting the public, and twenty years for the crime of leaking the secrets of the Song State. ”

Leaking Song Guoji's Secret Crime.......

Several people read carefully for a while, looked at each other, and then burst into a shocking laugh: "Hahahahahahahaha." ”

Handan Chun was so happy that tears fell, and he rolled on the mat with his stomach in his arms like an old child.

"Quick...... I'm going to die laughing. ”

"It's so much fun, too."

"Song Xianggong's stupidity has become a mystery, hahahahaha."

"From today onwards, there is another Song joke in this world, Ah Chen, you are too talented."

Wang Cang and the others were also amused, and this joke is not as dry as Handan Chun said, it belongs to the kind that the more you taste it, the funnier it is.

However, Shen Chen waited for them to laugh for a long time, and after finally relieving himself, he said seriously: "Don't laugh too early, this story is not over yet." ”

"Isn't it over yet?"

Handan Chun wiped his tears and got up from the ground and said, "What about the back?" ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Not long after, after the Battle of Hongshui, this person was released. The people of the time asked the county marshal why, and the marshal said: Song Zifu is like a stupid dolphin that everyone knows it, so it can't be cured. ”

"Hahahaha, after the Battle of Hongshui, Song Xianggong's stupidity is known to the world, so it's not a mystery."

"Hahaha, Ah Chen, you want to laugh me to death, hahahaha."

"Wow, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"Sooner or later, I will die of laughter at the story told by Ah Chen."

The crowd laughed again.

And looking at the ancients who had a low laugh point like this, Shen Chen smiled slightly, a group of scum who had never seen the world.

In fact, they can't be blamed for being happy.

At that time, there were many jokes like this, and since the Spring and Autumn Period, celebrities from all over the world like to make up jokes to satirize hostile countries.

For example, "Zheng Ren Buys Shoes", "Handan Toddler", "Cao Shang Licks Hemorrhoids", "Waiting for the Rabbit" and so on.

Among them, the most famous jokes of the Song Kingdom, such as Tanli Dezhu, Waiting for the Rabbit, Pulling Seedlings to Grow, Cao Shang Licking Hemorrhoids, etc., the protagonists in it are all Song people.

Therefore, the compilation of Song jokes became a particularly interesting phenomenon at that time.

Because the Han people traced back to their origins, most of the ancestors were descendants of the Zhou Dynasty, but the Song State was a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, not my race, and this view was still retained in the Han Dynasty, so it was ridiculed by the people of the time.

It's just that although there were a lot of jokes at the time, there were very few that were really funny. At most, it is to create some stupid images like "Waiting for the Rabbit" and "Pulling the Seedlings to Grow".

On the other hand, Shen Chen's jokes have endless aftertastes and excellent irony, which naturally makes these people who have never heard such irony laugh.

In addition to this, there is one more point.

That is, this joke adapted by Shen Chen is very interesting, talking about things before and after the Battle of Hongshui.

After all, everyone knows about the Battle of Hongshui.

Song Xianggong had to engage in some kind of benevolent and righteous division, and wait for the Chu army to cross the river and set up a formation before fighting.

As a result, he was beaten on the head and bled out, and he became a joke.

In addition, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been the crime of leaking state secrets, which the Han Law calls the crime of leaking the secret of the machine and the crime of spying on Shangshu, and the combination of the two is very appropriate and ironic.

The crowd laughed for a while.

Handan Chun wiped his tears while holding his stomach and got up from the ground, waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I'm about to die of laughter, this story must be written." ”

Wang Cang was surprised: "It's just an interesting story, do you still want to write it down?" ”

Handan Chun explained: "I am currently compiling a book, planning to call it "Laughing Forest", and I am collecting these stories that make people laugh. ”

This "Laughing Forest" is the first joke book in Chinese history, and the Chinese text "A Leaf Blind" comes from this book.

Obviously, Handan Chun planned to write the jokes that Shen Chen said into it.

Hearing his words, Shen Chen trembled all over at that time, and secretly said that he was adding a burden to the primary and secondary school students in the future.

In the future, I am afraid that there will be a new classical Chinese "Song People Poetry Street" turned out.

Do you want to stop the old man?

But if you think about it carefully, forget it.

What's the matter with me?

We've all crossed over, so we can't go back to elementary school.

So I gave up.

However, the atmosphere was mobilized by Shen Chen.

All of a sudden, the guests and hosts were happy, Wang Cang and Handan Chun explored knowledge, calligraphy and poetry, and Shen Chen also actively participated in the period, which was praised by everyone.
