When Gan Long saw a couplet, he mistakenly thought that the family was going to rebel. Why did he blush after hearing the explanation?

Because the owner of the couplet is just a lonely old man, and there is no intention of rebellion. He may feel sorry for the old man, and he was a little rude to him before, so he blushed.

The content of the old people's couplets is like this: the first couplet reads "A family is not rich with 10 thousand yuan", the second couplet reads "Five children have no children", and the horizontal comment reads: I am here. During the very harsh period of the Qianlong literary inquisition in Qing Dynasty, this offended the sensitive and suspicious face of Emperor Qianlong, but at that time, Qianlong was visiting incognito.

Emperor Qianlong liked traveling incognito very much. During his reign, he went to Jiangnan six times. On the surface, he visited incognito, but in fact, he built many gardens for himself and his concubine to live in. While observing the people's feelings, he appreciated the unique beauty of Jiangnan. Jiangnan has a warm climate and is really a place to raise people. Gan Long was very angry when he saw the couplets, but he traveled incognito, so he restrained his temper. Ask this family, what does this couplet mean? There is only one old man in this family. Originally, I meant to live alone in the world.

Although Gan Long is not very talented, he also likes to write poems. You think you are attractive, so you learn from others. I like these words very much. He went on to ask what the rest meant. The old man answered for him one by one. At that time, Gan Long's face must be very worried. The old man is lonely and wants to interrogate him like this. What can an old farmer do? I'm so paranoid. So he drank the tea that the old farmer made for himself, because he didn't trust this man before and didn't even dare to drink tea. This story is just a version. There are many legends in history, but they generally reflect the terrible literary inquisition at that time.
