Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 61
Liu Xian was from Lingling, Jingnan.

His clan and relatives are all in Lingling.

In history, he wanted his nephew Zhou Buyi to learn from Liu Ba, a famous scholar in Lingling.

But Liu Ba refused, so after the death of his brother-in-law, he brought his sister and nephew to Xiangyang.

A few years later, Liu Biao sent Liu Xian as an envoy to Xudu, and he also took his nephew Zhou Buyu with him.

Zhou Buyi had a good relationship with Cao Chong. After Cao Chong died, Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Pi would not be able to control Zhou Buyi, so he killed Zhou Buyi.

This shows how smart Zhou Buyi is.

Of course, Shen Chen didn't know that this was a top smart person, so he readily agreed to Liu Xian's request.

Soon he saw what a child prodigy is. After returning to the academy, Liu Xian took Zhou Buyi to meet Song Zhong, and Song Zhong took advantage of the situation and arranged him for Shen Chen to teach Zhou Buyi.

The current Shen Chen is not what it used to be. In the past two years at Xianshan Academy, with the books he read and the knowledge brought by later generations, even Wang Can praised him as the best.

But when learning for Zhou Buyi, he found that Zhou Buyi, who is only five years old this year, is actually very smart, and has already memorized all the basic lessons.

As a last resort, he could only teach him other books, such as "Spring and Autumn", "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Changes" and the like, which barely suppressed him.

After less than a month, he could memorize these books without a doubt. Fortunately, he only knew how to read and memorize. The notes in it were enough for him to learn for a year or so. Shen Chen continued to teach, did he want to empty him out? possible things.

June [-]th, it's late summer.

The weather was fine that day, so Wang Can invited friends Sun Meng, Pan Jun, Shen Chen and several other students of Song Zhong to visit hermits in the Zhonglu Mountain area in the northwest of Xiangyang.

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, and arrived at Zhonglu Mountain after noon. Today they visited a great Confucian named Handan Chun.

Many people in later generations thought that Jingzhou celebrities were just Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and others. In fact, compared with the chaos in the Central Plains, Jingzhou's political situation is very stable, so a large number of celebrities and scholars flocked here.

Like Wang Can and his friend Shi Sun Meng, and this Handan Chun, who is 64 years old this year, was a very famous calligrapher in the late Han Dynasty.He lived a very long life until the Cao Wei period, and was called Cao Zhi's "Four Friends" together with Ding Yi, Ding Zhen, and Yang Xiu.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the scriptures were more important, but poetry, painting and calligraphy gradually took shape.For example, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, loved calligraphy and painting very much. He created Hongdu School, specialized in training calligraphers and painters, and was able to be awarded the official position of a county magistrate as soon as he graduated.

As the so-called "better and lower effect", under the promotion of Emperor Han Ling, calligraphy and painting gradually became the mainstream.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, poetry writing was very popular. Wang Can himself was a famous poet at that time, and Handan Chun also wrote poems, but not as good as Wang Can. Wang Can liked calligraphy, but not as good as Handan Chun. Admired, today is a special visit.

At the foot of Zhonglu Mountain, one can already see houses and courtyards from a distance. Handan Chun is a guest of Liu Biao, and he is also from the Handan family of Yingchuan. Naturally, the place where he lives is not bad, which is equivalent to a country villa in the Han Dynasty.

After a few people came over, they saw a huge banyan tree in front of the courtyard, with dense branches and lush branches. Under the tree, an old man had set up a desk and wrote articles on paper.

It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain paper, but it is very easy for aristocratic families.In fact, Shen Chen is now also researching paper-making production technology, hoping to make a fortune from it.

The old man was writing for a while, before the crowd approached, he suddenly laughed out loud, and sat on the mat on the ground with his belly full of joy.

The servants who waited on him to write were used to it, they stood by one by one, and no one went up to ask him what was wrong.

This situation confused Wang Can and others.

Seeing him laughing out loud for no reason, Shen Chen thought to himself, what kind of symptoms are these, he must be sent to a psychiatrist in future generations.

When the old man was almost out of breath from laughing and got up from the ground to drink some water, they came forward with doubts and said, "Mr. Zishu."

Handan Chun turned his head and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wang Can, and my style name is Zhongxuan."

Wang Can smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Mr. lives here in seclusion, so I'm here to visit."

Handan Chun's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "So it's Wang Zhongxuan, I've heard your name a long time ago, Anu, go get some more seats."

The servant next to him went to get the mat.

Wang Can introduced: "Sir, these are my friends. This is the son of Lord Jun Rong, Shi Sun Meng."

Shi Sun Meng cupped her hands and said, "Meng, I met Mr. Zishu."

"These are Mr. Zhongzi's students."

"My name is Pan Jun, and my name is Chengming. I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Wang Han, and my name is Derong. I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Zhou Sheng, and my name is Hongguang. I have met Mr. Zishu."

"My name is Shen Chen, and I have met Mr. Zishu."

Several people saluted one by one.

At this time, the servants had already brought the mats, and Handan Chun said, "My friends, please sit down."

"Thank you sir."

Everyone sat down at the table, and the servants came over with tables and prepared drinks and fruits.

After everyone was seated, Wang Can said curiously, "I saw you laughing just now. I don't know why? What made you laugh so much?"

Handan Chun still had a smile on his lips, he waved his hands and said, "I just remembered a story, so I laughed wantonly."

"Oh?"

Wang Can and others were very curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Then let me tell you."

Handan Chun said cheerfully: "This story is like this. A certain Chu person lives in poverty. After reading "Huainan", he learned that "mantises can hide from the leaves by sitting on cicadas", so they looked up to take leaves under the tree. Waiting for the cicadas to pick them, the leaves fall under the tree; there are fallen leaves under the tree first, and they can’t be divided again. Don’t let the cicadas take a few buckets and return them. Take the leaves from Zhang and ask his wife: “Have you seen me? Shi Shiheng's wife replied, "See you." The scriptures said that she was very tired, and Ling said, "I don't see you." "Moran was overjoyed, and Ye Ye went to the opposite side of the city to pick up people, and the officials bound the county. The county accepted the resignation and talked about it. The officials laughed and let it go. Do you think it is ridiculous or not?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

A few people laughed lowly, amused by Handan Chun's jokes, they patted the table and said: "This Chu person is too stupid."

"It's funny."

Handan Chun amused himself again.

Only Shen Chen smiled awkwardly, with a smile on his face, MMP in his heart.

TMD.

"Yiye Blind Eyes", the second volume of the third-grade Chinese language of the People's Education Edition, was originally edited by this old boy?
It made me not only have to recite the full text, but also had to write it silently before going home from school.

You scary whale.

Shen Chen was cursing in his heart, and the friends beside him were laughing, but he couldn't laugh, tears rolled in his stomach.

Poor elementary school students of future generations.

"Why don't you laugh, little friend?"

Handan Chun looked at Shen Chen wonderingly and said, "You are Shen Chen, you have been very talented in Jingzhou for the past two years, isn't it funny?"

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "The story Mr. told is very funny, but I have an even funnier story."

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at Shen Chen, and Handan Chun said, "What funny story do you have?"

Shen Chen said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, on the eve of the Battle of Hongshui, there was a man from the Song Dynasty who walked in the street: Song Zifu was like a stupid pig. The official Fu went to the county, and the county commander asked him why, and he talked about it. He was sentenced to 22 years. The second year is the crime of humiliating Duke Xiang, and the 20th year is the crime of leaking the secrets of Song Dynasty."

The crime of leaking the secrets of Song Guoji..

Several people read it carefully for a while, looked at each other, and then burst out into loud laughter: "Hahahahahahaha."

Handan Chun was so happy that tears fell, and rolled on the mat like an old child with his stomach in his arms.

"It's killing me laughing."

"This is too much fun."

"Song Xianggong's stupidity has become a secret, hahahahaha."

"From today onwards, there will be another Song country joke in this world, Ah Chen, you are so talented."

Wang Can and the others were also laughed out loud, and this joke was not as dry as Handan Chun said, it was the kind that was more detailed and funny.

However, Shen Chen waited for them to laugh for a long time, and finally regained his composure, before saying solemnly: "Everyone, don't laugh too early, this story is not over yet."

"Isn't it over yet?"

Handan Chun wiped his tears and got up from the ground and said, "What about the back?"

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Not long after the battle of Hongshui, this person was released. At that time, people asked the county commander why, and the commander said: Song Zifu is like a stupid porpoise, which is known to everyone, so there is no way to cure it."

"Hahahaha, after the Battle of Hongshui, Song Xianggong's stupidity is known to the world, so it is not considered a secret."

"Hahahahaha, Ah Chen, you are trying to make me laugh to death, hahahaha."

"Wow, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"Sooner or later, I will die laughing at Ah Chen's story."

Everyone laughed again.

Seeing the success of the ancients with a low smile like this, Shen Chen smiled slightly, a bunch of scumbags who have never seen the world.

In fact, you can't blame them for being happy.

There were a lot of jokes like this at that time. Starting from the Spring and Autumn Period, celebrities from all over the world liked to make up jokes to satirize hostile countries.

For example, "Zheng Ren Buys Shoes", "A Learning Walk in Handan", "Cao Shang Licks Hemorrhoids", "Wait for a Rabbit" and so on.

Among them, the jokes of the Song Dynasty are the most famous, such as exploring the Li to get the pearl, waiting for the rabbit, pulling the seedlings to encourage growth, Cao Shang licking hemorrhoids, etc. The protagonists in them are all Song people.

Therefore, the compilation of jokes in Song Dynasty became a particularly interesting phenomenon at that time.

Because the Han people went back to their origins, most of their ancestors were descendants of the Zhou Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty was a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, not our race. This view was still retained in the Han Dynasty, so it was ridiculed by the people of the time.

It's just that although there were many jokes at the time, there were very few really funny ones.At most, it is to create some stupid images like "Standby and Wait for the Rabbit" and "Pull the Seedlings to Encourage Growth".

On the other hand, Shen Chen's jokes had endless aftertaste and excellent irony, which naturally made these people who had never heard such irony laugh out loud.

Apart from that, there is one more thing.

That is why the joke adapted by Shen Chen is very interesting, it talks about the events before and after the Battle of Hongshui.

After all, everyone knew about the Battle of Hongshui.

Song Xianggong had to engage in an army of benevolence and righteousness, and waited for the Chu army to cross the river and set up their formation before fighting.

As a result, he was beaten to the point of bleeding, and he became a joke.

In addition, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been the crime of leaking state secrets. The Han law calls it the crime of leaking secrets and the crime of spying on ministers. The combination of the two is very appropriate and ironic.

Everyone laughed for a while.

Handan Chun wiped his tears, got up from the ground while clutching his stomach, waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I'm about to die of laughter, this story must be written down."

Wang Can was surprised: "It's just an interesting story, do you want to write it down?"

Handan Chun explained: "I'm editing a book recently, and I plan to name it "Laughing Forest". I am collecting these stories that make people laugh. Shen Chen's story is so profound, why not write it?"

This "Laughing Forest" is the first joke book in Chinese history, and the Chinese text "One Leaf Obstructing Eyes" comes from this book.

Apparently Handan Chun planned to include Shen Chen's joke in it.

Hearing his words, Shen Chen trembled all over at the time, secretly thinking that it was not good, and he was burdening the primary and middle school students of later generations.

In the future, I am afraid that there will be a new classical Chinese essay "Song People's Street" turned out.

Do you want to stop the old man?

But if you think about it carefully, forget it.

None of my business?

We've all time-traveled, so we can't time-travel and go back to primary school.

Then gave up.

However, the atmosphere was mobilized by Shen Chen.

All at once, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Wang Can and Handan Chun explored knowledge, calligraphy and poetry. Shen Chen also actively participated in the period, which was praised by everyone.
