A long time ago, there was such a person named Zhang Yuanwai. He had a daughter who was very beautiful and could read and write. Many people from ten miles and eight villages came to his house to ask for marriage.

But the old man seemed dissatisfied. He wanted to find a great scholar for his daughter. What kind of big show is he talking about? You must be able to read the Five Classics and Eight Books. At that time, someone who could read the Five Classics and Four Books was considered a big deal, and he wanted to find someone who could read the Five Classics and Eight Books. In fact, there were no Five Classics Eight Books at that time, but the old man thought that the Eight Books were twice as many as the Four Books. If you could read such a book, you must be a great scholar. The people who came to ask for marriage later were all scholars who had read the Five Classics and Four Books. No one except the senior staff liked it, and as time passed, no one dared to come.

On this day, a young man, dressed like a scholar, carrying a big schoolbag, walked to the door of the member's house and asked the old member for a drink of water. The old man told him that there was a well over there, so he should dig it himself. The young man went to fetch water and accidentally dropped his schoolbag into the well. As soon as the young man saw the water, he stopped drinking. He sat on the edge of the well and started crying. He kept saying: It's over. What a pity for my Five Classics. Eight books, what should I read in the future? Ouch, my Five Classics and Eight Books.

When the old man outside heard what the young man said about the Five Classics and Eight Books, he was very happy. He hurriedly invited the young man into the room, poured him tea, and asked: What do you do?

The young man said: I am a reader of the Five Classics and Eight Books. I went home to see my mother today. I passed by your house and I was thirsty. I was thinking about drinking some water so that I could go back. However, this book fell into the well again. I What are you going to see? As he spoke, he started crying again.

The old man was extremely happy, thinking to himself, everyone said that they have not read the Five Classics and Eight Books, isn't it in front of them today? It seems fitting that my daughter should marry him. The old man tried to persuade her, and then told the young man about marrying his daughter.

The young man was not very happy at first, saying that he had to go home to see his mother in a hurry. But after the old man begged again and again, he agreed. Today is an auspicious day, and the old man is planning a wedding right away, marrying a great scholar who has read the Five Classics and Eight Books into his family. After that, when old people met people outside, they would praise their uncle for his great knowledge and that he had read the Five Classics and Eight Books, and people would come to ask for help from his uncle to write or paint. Except for senior staff, ordinary people don't give face.

One day, an old friend of his also came to the door and asked his uncle to write a couplet. The old man couldn't refuse, so he agreed and told his uncle about it. In the evening, the young man said to his wife: I am not good at reading the Five Classics and Eight Books, and I don’t know many of my father-in-law. How can I write a couplet for his friend if he asks me to write it?

When the wife heard this, she said angrily: Then why did you lie to others in the first place? The young man said, I just thought of this method to marry you as my wife. Now that we are husband and wife, you have to take care of this for me. The daughter-in-law understood everything once she heard it, but she couldn't make it public. At that time, when you married a chicken, you would follow the chicken, and when you married a dog, you would follow the dog, so she had to write a couplet for him. This is how I dealt with it several times in the future.

On this day, a wealthy family in the village was going to hold a happy event, and they asked their elder brother-in-law to read out the gift list, which was hard for the young man to do. His wife looked at it and couldn't push it through, so she said: I will copy the gift list back the night before, and you can write it down one by one. When it comes time to read it, just pretend to be like this. If you can't remember it, just look at me. Gestures. The daughter-in-law copied the gift list back and taught her husband to read it. Aunt Zhang has a pair of earrings and Aunt Li has a pair of five kinds of brocade. He couldn't remember it, so his wife said, when the time comes, when I touch my ears, I will get a pair of earrings, and when I touch my chest, I will get five kinds of brocade.

On the day of the wedding, he pretended to hold the gift list, cleared his throat and read: Aunt Zhang...it took him a while to remember, a pair of earrings.

When the wife heard that she read it correctly, she was very happy. He read on: Li Ergu... After a while, he didn't think about it, so he looked at his wife.

The wife made gestures on her breasts with both hands. He just wondered what that place was? When I think about it, that place is my nipple! He said loudly: Aunt Li has a pair of nipples! Everyone in the room laughed. His wife slapped her thigh angrily, and he continued: "Two thighs." The wife stamped her feet again, and he said, embroidered shoes a pair... (End)
