On the wedding night, I mistook the maid for the bride because of myopia. What happened?

The Qing Dynasty was an era of talented people. Under the background of that era, many poets who could write poems were born. These scholars studied and wrote poems in the hope of changing their destiny and having their own brilliant life in the imperial examination. You know, reading at night in ancient times was a very bad thing for your eyesight, and many scholars had poor eyesight.

There was once a funny poet in the early Qing Dynasty. Because of myopia, he once made a joke on the wedding night. This man is called Ding Peng. He was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. His grandfather was a famous poet Ding Henian in the Ming Dynasty, so he is a scholarly family. In 1655, the senior high school scholars took the place of the Qing government to communicate with foreign envoys, especially with Islam.

It also promoted cultural exchanges between countries, and later in 167, it served as the promotion department in the Ministry of Rites. Compared with his political talent, Ding Peng is more famous as a scholar, perhaps because he loves learning too much, and Ding Peng has made himself nearsighted. In the 21st century, we can do surgery to treat mild myopia, even if it is more than 1 degrees myopia, we can also wear glasses.

But in Ding Peng's time, there was no such thing as glasses, and it was impossible to have such a precise operation, so for him, everything was a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, and he had made many jokes because of myopia. In ancient times, men could have three wives and four concubines. On one occasion, Ding Peng married a new concubine. In the evening, he drank more wine because he was happy when he got married, and he was in a daze when he entered the bridal chamber at night.

at first, I took a closer look and found that my newly married concubine was beautiful, so I was very happy to enter the bridal chamber with her. But when he got up the next day, he found that it was not his bride who slept next to him, but a maid who served at home. Only then did he realize that he had been teased by his wife at home.

It turned out that my wife knew that she was highly nearsighted, so she switched the bride and deliberately played a trick on him. It was this incident that made many people laugh at him, and everyone called him the funniest poet of that era. In addition to this joke, Ding Peng has also made many jokes. Once before, when he was walking on the road, he accidentally bumped into someone else, and this "other person" happened to be his boss.

You know, in ancient times, this was a crime of irreverence. Upon learning, he immediately apologized to his boss, saying that he accidentally bumped into him because of his high myopia. This was just his unintentional mistake, and his boss did not punish him after learning. In this way, his myopia slowly spread to everyone.

It is such a clown who died in 1686, but his book Poems of Bai Yan House and the interesting things he brought to people around him have been circulated all the time.
