When Su Dongpo was twenty years old, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Six conceited juren looked down on him. They discussed preparing appetizers and invited Su Dongpo to dinner, intending to tease him. Su Dongpo went with pleasure after receiving the invitation.

Before chopsticks were moved, a juren put forward a drinking order, which must quote historical figures and events, and you can eat a dish alone after ordering. The other five people cheered again and again.

"I'll go first." The older one said, "Jiang Ziya is fishing in Weishui!" Then I took a plate of fish.

"Qin Baoshu sells horses in Changan!" The second proudly took the horse meat away.

"Su Ziqing is herding sheep in Beihu!" The third man took the mutton without weakness.

"Zhang Yide Zhuoxian sells meat!" The fourth man held out his hand to barbecue.

"Guan Yunchang Jingzhou scraping bones!" The fifth one couldn't wait to take the bone.

"Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in Longzhong!" The sixth proudly picked up the last dish of vegetables.

When all the dishes were finished, the six juren were happily preparing to laugh at Su Dongpo while eating, but Su Dongpo took the time to strike the table and shouted, "Qin Shihuang annexed six countries!" "

Say that finish, six dishes are served on the table, and six juren can only stare.

Cleverly reprimand corrupt officials

When Su Dongpo was an official in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, he once traveled incognito, went to the state capital, and attended a relative's birthday party. None of the guests present knew that he was a great writer Su Dongpo.

In the banquet room, someone suggested, "Let's have some wine to entertain. What do you think? " At that time, the magistrate Yang Gui and the county magistrate Wang Bi were also present, both of whom were corrupt officials.

Wang Bi said, "I'll go first. A friend for two months, the same color frost and snow; I don't know which month it will be frosty, nor do I know which month it will snow. "

Another official then recited: "A mountain has two words, coal and charcoal are the same color;" I don't know which mountain produces coal, and I don't know which mountain produces carbon. "

Yang Gui also shook his head and said, "A Lv Zi has two mouths, and tea and wine are the same color; I don't know where to drink tea, I don't know where to drink. "

At this time, Su Dongpo intoned: "One word is 21, and the turtles are the same color; I don't know which is the tortoise, and I don't know which is the tortoise. "

As soon as Su Dongpo finished reading, Wang Bi woke up: Well, "turtle" and "expensive", "turtle" and "pen" are homophones. Isn't this an insult to Yang Guifei and Wang Bi?

He immediately pointed to Su Dongpo and shouted, "fanatic, how dare you curse!"

Su Dongpo said, "If you want to swear, I think what you just recited is swearing. Frost and snow can't cover the sun, coal will burn to ashes, and tea and wine will turn into urine. They are all things that will die soon. Isn't this a curse? The tortoise is a symbol of longevity, and my order is a birthday. "

Wang Bi was speechless. Only then did Yang Gui see that the guests had good reasons. After asking about Su Dongpo's identity, they secretly complained.
