Translation of Classical Chinese with "Knowing Tin Teapot"

Once upon a time, there was a rich boy A whose knowledge of writing was very rough. He has nothing to do all day, but he has a whim to donate money to an official, which makes him addicted.

On this day, in order to be an official, a certain person has to go through the "cliche" arranged by the yamen master: the first interview. The so-called interview is actually very simple, that is, the old man is the examiner and writes three words for someone to see face to face. However, the examiner is a Geng Jie, and he hates buying and selling officials. He heard a lot about the virtues of this rich boy. So someone can't pass this interview.

The examiner asked, "I heard that you are not only literate, but also familiar with Confucius and Mencius. Now my Lord has written three words. Do you recognize them? " Afterwards, I wrote the word "tea" on the paper.

A certain armor looked at it and said without thinking, "I know, I know, these three words are' tin teapot'!" There are several in my family. The old man was really angry and funny when he heard this. He sneered, "I wrote a teapot, but you said it was a tin teapot. You think of' teapot' as a tin teapot, which is the real white character. Once you become an official in the future, you don't know how many jokes you will make, even misjudged cases. So incompetent, go back and drink tea in your tin teapot! "
