"Old Tang Book" records one incident: Taichang Shaoqing Jiang Du, brother-in-law of Lin Fu, Du's wife gave birth to a son. Lin Fu wrote in his handwriting to celebrate: "I heard that there is a celebration of deer deer." The guest looked at it and covered his mouth. "Nongzhang" is written as "Nongzhang". The former is a noble weapon and the latter is an animal. The two are unrelated. As a prime minister, this mistake has to be said to be a curiosity in the world. "Old Book of Tang" specially records this short paragraph to show to future generations. After the Tang Dynasty, people often used "Zhizhiqing" to ridicule Li Linfu in their poems and articles, or use it to ridicule those who were ignorant.

I want to go to work as a soup cake customer, but I am worried about writing the deer book by mistake.

5. The newlyweds who join the army are enemies of the virtuous, and Ada Zhonglang is overjoyed. I have always known English things, so I will try to teach you how to cry. In the poem, Su Dongpo skillfully used an anecdote and said, "I am worried about writing wrongly in Nongzhu Shu", which is so humorous that it makes people shut up. This kind of hiding will definitely make the master happy, because the poem uses Li Linfu's joke to congratulate the master on having a son.
