At least 2 jokes about Spring Festival couplets

1. Ji Xiaolan was a scholar and writer in the Qing Dynasty. One time, when he went home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, three brothers from a family in his hometown asked him to write Spring Festival couplets. He wrote a couplet that read, "Shocking the whole family, count one or two families." This was a serious matter. Someone accused him of deceiving the emperor for "offending". Emperor Qianlong learned that he summoned Ji Xiaolan back to Beijing for questioning. Ji Xiaolan replied: "I wrote the Spring Festival couplets; it's not wrong. The boss of this family sells firecrackers, isn't it an earth-shattering family? The second brother is in charge of fighting in the market, and he fights all day long. "One fight, two fights..." he shouted, didn't he count two people? The third one was selling roasted chicken, didn't he kill it first and then show it off?" Qianlong also laughed. 2. In ancient times, there was a family who was very superstitious and wanted good luck in everything. On the eve of New Year's Eve,

the father and his two sons discussed: "We will put up a New Year's couplets in the hall. Now let's each say

an auspicious word and make up a pair of Spring Festival couplets. Come." The two sons nodded in agreement. The father first stroked his beard and said: "Have a good year!" The eldest son thought for a while and said, "You are unlucky." The second son then read again: " No lawsuits!" After reading it, everyone praised it, and then my father wrote a long strip without punctuation and posted it in the middle of the main room.

The next day, the neighbors came to pay New Year greetings. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Spring Festival couplets and read out loud: "I am so unlucky this year, I will rarely get into lawsuits!"
