Chen Xiguai buys new year's goods
It's the Spring Festival, and Chen Xiguai and his father, Daxie, go to Zhulin Street to buy new year's goods. His family was poor and had no money to buy meat, so he bought a deputy pig and carried it with a straw rope. Having no money to buy fish, he bought some shrimps, but couldn't find anything to pack, so the monster took off his socks and put them in socks. I had no money to buy tofu, so I bought some bean dregs. The monster took off his hat and put it in it. Bought water, shrimp, bean dregs, also can do a few bowls of Chinese New Year dishes, father and son to go back happily.
Walking on the mountain road, the monster felt a little tired and said,
"Going five miles up the mountain is ten miles"
The little monster took the pig into the water and said, "When you go into the water, you can get a catty."
The monster shook the socks with shrimp again and said with satisfaction,
"Tie two socks and feet"
He also said:
"Make a careful arrangement for the New Year"
Xiao Guai said with some indifference:
"Big Fang Fang is in debt"
Big Guai and Xiao Guai, so whatever you say and what I say, they all speak in couplets.
In the water, the common name of pig's large intestine, at that time, two Jin of water was usually used to fold one Jin of pork.
socks feet, that is, socks tubes; Hat and head, also known as hat bowl, hat top. This pair of couplets means: the shrimp pressed two solid socks by hand; Bean dregs are also firmly filled with a bowl full of hands. Chen Xiguai's hometown is going to sing opera, and some gentlemen want Chen Xiguai to write some stage couplets. Chen Xiguai started to write:
There is a canon and an admonition. If you look at it carefully, don't call the play useless;
when it comes to emotions, it means sorrow and fear, and the woman always makes it amazing.
one of the gentlemen said, "I can't see you are eccentric, but you are a little eccentric!" Come and write another couplet! " Chen Xiguai thought for a moment, and then wrote:
He is beautiful, male is male, female is female, even if he cares about his head but his feet;
My husband also talks and laughs, even though he is a windbag.
When the gentleman saw that Chen Xiguai, on the one hand, professed that he was a "windbag NO FENG フウカ", on the other hand, he made a sarcastic remark about the scandal of incest between men and women in the gentleman's family, and "caring about his head but not his feet", which made him angry! After a long time, the gentleman said, "The stage is open today, so you can write a couplet for opening another play. Chen Xiguai picked up a pen and quickly finished it:
Go to the stage and read Sister Liu's Play;
I'm afraid in the family, "Happy New Year to Brother Yu".
When a gentleman looks at it, the first part of this book is about the present, Sister Liu's Play, which shows how Sister Liu has an affair. This bottom line is an allusion to his family, and "Happy New Year to Brother Yu" actually "worships" Zhang Ernv! Doesn't his wife also have a "Yu Si Ge"? When the gentleman thought of this, he didn't want to watch the play, so he turned around and went home. There was a Taoist named Claire Kuo who cheated people a lot of money with a clay sculpture of Laozi. After his death, the temple was full of chanting and burning paper. Seeing that Claire Kuo died, Chen Xiguai could still win the belief of so many people, so he wrote a pair of elegies:
I eat and wear Laozi, and I depend on Laozi all my life;
If you can't call the Buddha, you can't worship him. Don't blame him if you put your feet in the air.
After Chen Xiguai wrote it, he read it several times, and felt that his heart had not been fully written, so he added a pair of elegies:
After the confession, he can live beyond life. Is Yan afraid of Taoist priests?
Paper money can be redeemed, and it is clear that the Buddha is a corrupt official.
