2. "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Zhihuan

There was a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. He wrote this poem by Wang Zhihuan into a banner and gave it to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Unexpectedly, he accidentally missed the word "Jian" in it, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious. Thinking this is to fool her into not knowing poetry. The calligrapher was frightened by this "crime of deceiving the emperor" and thought out of his wits that the words he wrote were based on Wang Zhihuan's poetic words: "Yellow River is far away/white clouds/Gucheng Wanren Mountain/Qiang flute has no need to complain/willow." "Spring Breeze/Does Not Pass Yumen Pass" Empress Dowager Cixi saw that what he said was reasonable, so she had to give up and gave him wine to calm her shock.

The teacher wrote a contract: "Every day, there are no chickens, ducks, or fish. A plate of vegetables is enough." The rich man looked at the contract and read it carefully: "Every day, there are no chickens, ducks, or even fish. A plate of vegetables is enough." Fish and meat are also acceptable, and a plate of vegetables is enough." He happily signed the contract. Unexpectedly, when the first meal was eaten, the teacher yelled: "Why is it all vegetables and no fish? Didn't we agree that every meal should have meat?" After finishing speaking, he read the contract to the rich man. The rich man was speechless after hearing this. From now on, I will prepare fish dishes for this teacher every meal.

A few years later, the youngest son When he reaches adulthood, he has to separate from his brother-in-law. Who will own the property and farmland? The two argued endlessly and had to go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit.

The son-in-law argued: "My father-in-law's suicide note clearly stated: A sixty-year-old man gave birth to a son, and people said: 'He must be my son!' All the family property and fields will be given to the son-in-law, and outsiders are not allowed to argue." ."

The county magistrate carefully considered the unmarked suicide note and came up with another way to separate the inheritance from his younger son. Let me ask: How does the county magistrate punctuate the mark?

The scholar wrote unpunctuated upper and lower couplets and horizontal comments, and read them to him:

The wine making tank is good, but the vinegar is sour;

The pigs are big and the mice are all dead. .

Hengbiao: more people, fewer diseases, wealth.

After reading this, the passerby felt that his friend was not interested enough, so he picked up his pen and added punctuation points to the original article, turning it into a direct inquiry. Do you know how the two of them broke up their sentences?

Answer to friends passing by: It’s a rainy day, a guest’s day, will you stay with me? Keep!

On a rainy day, staying with guests? God will leave me alone!

Stingy friends: If it rains, I won’t stay.

I looked at it carefully again with doubts. I read it correctly! Just ask them why they are laughing. Dad said: "The owner of the car doesn't mean this. "无" is a polyphonic word. When pronounced "无(mo)" here, it has a hidden meaning. It means that the car is compared to a bear. Please pay attention when the bear comes out.
