Liu Daxia was old and the emperor allowed him to retire from his hometown. When we set out, we packed two soft bags and rode the donkey home alone. Along the way, the sun was shining, and people were thirsty for donkeys. Near the village entrance. There is a little girl in rags, about seven or eight years old, carrying water. From a distance, she saw:
Two buckets swing from side to side, and three shoulders look around.
It's just that when it's near, the donkey doesn't hesitate to talk. He drinks water when he sees it. The daughter thought it must be thirsty, so she put down the burden and let the donkey drink enough. When the donkey finished drinking, the daughter poured out the water and picked it up again. This is exactly:
The old donkey is an animal. How can he speak politely? The younger daughter sees good deeds like a bodhisattva.
Liu Daxia saw it in her eyes and felt sorry for her, so she started a family relationship with her. It turns out that my little daughter's name is Laner. Because the family was poor and couldn't afford her, she became the child bride of the Xu family a few years ago. People in rich families look down on her and are mean to her, even worse than a servant at home. Liu Daxia thinks that this woman is ugly and kind-hearted and should help her. Then he asked, is there anything festive in your family recently? Laner said, It happens that my old lady will celebrate her eightieth birthday on the eighth day of next month. Liu Daxia ordered: Then tell your family that a distant second uncle is coming to celebrate the old lady's birthday.
Laner said everything at home, and no one at home took her words to heart. On the eighth day, the Xu family was busy buying wine to welcome guests and giving gifts for their birthdays. Liu Daxia came here on time in a faded blue gown. Laner was filled with joy and told everyone that this is my second uncle. When Xu Jia saw that Uncle Laner was empty-handed and dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't agree. Liu Daxia went to the gift-giving place and drew a pair of couplets from his sleeve as a birthday present. On the couplet, he wrote:
The water in the pool has risen for eighty years, and the phoenix tail stands out from the crowd outside the slope.
The receiver said it several times and didn't know what it meant. A guest standing next to him looked Liu Daxia up and down and said, This word is really good.
When it's time to sit down, knowledgeable guests should first invite the rich and powerful one by one. When they were invited to the table, the guests gave way to each other and refused to sit down. Liu Daxia sitting in the corner saw this scene and sat down straight. Everyone present looked at each other. You look at me, I look at you. I always feel that it is not a taste. One of them couldn't help talking: Why are you so rude? Have you never sat at a table in your last life? At this time, Liu Daxia slowly looked at his chest and said, I didn't know in my last life that I sat less in my life. I have only sat at the table three times in my life, once when I got married; The second time, Emperor Qianlong and I made the right bet in the garden. The emperor lost, and the emperor invited me to sit in the imperial garden once. This is the third time. Today, I came uninvited. Speaking of this, Liu Daxia unbuttoned his clothes and took off his coat: It's crowded and hot today, and it's rude. At this time, the embroidered robes of court officials were exposed. Everyone was dumbfounded, afraid to eat rice or drink wine. They quickly fell to their knees and confessed their crimes.
Liu Daxia stood up and said in a very calm tone: I am Liu Daxia, Laner's second uncle.
