years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the people were open, and the emperor ruled the country with culture and focused on cultural development. Not only were there many literati and poets, but even the villagers in the countryside and the shipkeepers on the rivers could be revealed.
In a small village in Guangling, there is a shipman named Liang who rides a boat on the river and crosses the river every day to make a living.
The Liang Shipman has no other hobbies, he just likes to pair up couplets. Sometimes when it comes to a whim, he will write a first couplet. If you answer a second couplet that he thinks is wonderful, he will not accept your money for the ship crossing the river. In his words, this is called "couplets crossing the river."
On this day, two scholars came from the shore, and the boat named Liang Xigong crossed the river.
Liang Xigong supported the boat over and was about to ferry when a woman heard a voice from a distance: "Should you wait, please wait..."
Liang Xigong looked up and saw a pregnant woman with a big belly rushing to this side in a hurry. He stopped quickly and asked the woman to walk slowly.
The pregnant woman was approaching, and three eyes on the boat stared straight at her. It turned out that although the woman had a big belly, she looked a bit pretty, with delicate skin, red lips and white teeth, and she couldn't help but tease her.
Boatman Liang said to the three of you, "I'll make a couple. Whoever is right will not charge him for the boat. If anyone is right, he will stay here and leave next time. How about it?"
Boatman Liang thought that the two scholars would definitely be able to match each other, and the rest of the woman would not be able to match her, so he would support her across the river alone in the next time.
After hearing this, the two scholars nodded and said that there was no problem. Only the pregnant woman looked embarrassed and reluctantly agreed.
only listened to Liang Xigong's question: " My oar is sharp, the boat is round, the ferry is making life, and you can make money when you travel. ."
One of the scholars heard it and immediately said the second couplet: " My pen is sharp, the pen is round, and if you write with a god, you will definitely be the top scholar in literature."
Everyone applauded and praised it after hearing it. It was another scholar's turn. He thought for a while and said, ", my arrow is sharp and my bow is round. I won the top scorer in the field of school and selected the top scorer in martial arts."
Liang Xigong nodded after hearing this, and it was considered a passing. Everyone turned their eyes to the pregnant woman, and saw her looking at her belly and answered, ", my feet are pointed and round, I have three sons in one child, two top scholars in civil and military affairs, and the boss is not good at supporting the boat by the river.
The three of them listened to the pregnant woman's second couplet and immediately turned their heads. The two scholars looked at the river in red. Liang Xigong supported the boat dejectedly. The pregnant woman sat steadily in the middle of the boat, smiling in her heart.
