One day, Ju Zhishan came to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, in time to catch a rich family feast. When I asked about it, I knew that the owner started out as a cotton popper, and it took him 10 years of hard work to become the richest man in town. Zhu Zhishan out of curiosity, also want to go in to see. The gatekeeper saw him dressed in ordinary clothes, thought it was a disillusioned scholar, did not let him in. At that moment, a Confucian scholar came out from inside. This Confucian scholar had seen Zhu Zhishan once before, so he hurriedly bowed and invited him in for his master. The hall was full of scholars and township celebrities, who heard that Zhu Zhishan, the scholar from Jiangnan, had arrived, and all of them hurriedly stood up to welcome him, and the master was even more joyful. After three rounds of drinking, the master asked Zhu Zhishan to write a pair of couplets, ready to hang in the main hall. All the guests were also trying their best to see Zhu Zhishan's writing, so that they could have a good time.
Three Feet of Ice String to Play the Night Moon
One Day's Dance
The master can't read or write, but he immediately asked to be framed. The guests saw it: the couplet is about cotton popping, three feet of ice string, is the slingshot, a day of flying flotsam, is cotton. But although they know Zhu Zhishan is mocking the owner of the cotton-popping start, who dares to talk nonsense in front of the genius, but only a secret smile, let it go.
