Couplet Story 124- Double Happiness
At the end of Qing Dynasty, there was a farmer named Hu Yunlong in Songzi, Hubei Province. His family is poor and he only went to school for a few days. But he is smart and studious, and he also has some knowledge of ancient Chinese. He also wanted to try this year's provincial exam, so he packed his bags and set off. I stayed in an inn this day. Seeing his good looks, the boss intends to recruit him as a son-in-law, pointing to the lantern hanging in the middle of the living room to test his talent:

Run the lamp, the lamp will run away, and the lamp will kill the horse and hang the hoof.

Hu Yunlong didn't answer at the moment, and the boss was a little disappointed. He said, "Go to bed early and come back later." Said Yunlong entered the examination room. I wrote an article on the first day, and my grades were average. The policy was correct the next day, and the examiner gave a pair on the spot. The examiner pointed to the flying tiger flag in front of the examination room to Yunlong Road:

Flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, the flag is folded when the wind blows.

Hu Yunlong suddenly remembered a word from the innkeeper and answered without hesitation:

Run the lamp, the lamp will run away, and the lamp will kill the horse and hang the hoof.

The examiner praised him very much and thought he was the best. When the list was published, Hu Yunlong topped the list and won the first place in the exam. On the way home, Hu Yunlong stayed in the inn again and said to the boss, your old man's "merry-go-round" can be like this:

Flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, the flag is folded when the wind blows.

The shopkeeper was so happy that he betrothed his daughter to him. Hu Yunlong's cleverness lies in that he can borrow couplets on both sides to make a double happiness.

According to legend, Wang Anshi, who lived in Linchuan, Fuzhou during Renzong's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, was only twenty years old, but he was a handsome young man with extensive reading and high spirits.

In the second year of Li Qing, Wang Anshi, who was full of ambition, went to Beijing to take the exam. One person rides a bike, and one is full of nerds, traveling in the capital of Tokyo at night. On this day, I went to Jiangning Majia Town, where people came and went. When I asked, it turned out that it was the first horse in town that was looking for a husband. The locals say that Mr. Ma's family is very rich, but there is only one daughter. This woman is not only handsome, but also familiar with the four books and five classics since childhood. She knows all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ma Yuan regards women as the apple of her eye, and chooses a spouse according to the article. The first level is the sign on the lantern hanging on the door: "When the lantern stops, so does the lantern." The word "step" should be regarded as the first part. According to the local people, a * * *, there are three levels, miss may try again.

Wang Anshi saw it and praised it: "What a sentence! It's a pity that I have no time to delay here. Be sure to meet this talented woman when you have time. " Sighing, he never had a chance to continue.

When Wang Anshi took the exam, Fei Shu made great contributions and was the first to hand in the paper. The examiner is Ouyang Xiu, a famous contemporary writer, then political adviser and Prince Shao Shi. He was very happy to see Wang Anshi, a handsome young man, and asked, "How was the answer?" Wang Anshi said: "Students think they are OK." Ouyang Xiu pointed to the Flying Tiger Flag outside the hall and said, "Flying Tiger Flag is hiding."

Wang Anshi knows that the examiner's "body" is the bottom line. It is often difficult to find the following. On second thought, I couldn't help but say "Ah" and then replied: "The lantern is on, it has stopped." Ouyang Xiu was overjoyed: "You are really witty." Wang Anshi thought, "That talented woman is my sage and helper."

Farewell to the examiner Wang Anshi, hurried back to the inn, and didn't talk about poems and volumes with other students and candidates. They had a party to drink and asked extremely children to pack their things. The master and servant arrived at Ma's hometown in Jiangning day and night.

On this day, Wang Anshi's servant came to Majia. I saw that the road was deserted, and Wang Anshi was cold-hearted, thinking that Miss Ma had chosen a good husband. I hurried to the door of Mafu, only to find two big lanterns hanging in front of it. One has words and the other is blank. Wang Anshi was overjoyed and rushed forward. I saw two family members standing listlessly by the door, with a book case in front of them, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone from soup to nuts. Wang Anshi picked up a pen and flew away with a wave of his hand. A family member lazily picked it up and sent it to the lobby.

Mr. Ma is sitting in the lobby, absent-minded. It has been nearly three months since he chose his husband through words. Many talented people all over the country have seen it, but none of them have been recognized by the young lady. It's really urgent. The family sent a conversation, but Mr. Ma was too lazy to leave and waved the maid to show it to the young lady in the inner court.

Miss Ma was in a hurry, but after all, it was the words and deeds of a good family. I took the sentence and opened it, only to find that the book said: "Flying Tiger Flag Flying Tiger Flag Rolling Tiger Hide". The brushwork is strong and powerful, and everyone is imposing. The young lady looked at the rim of her eyes and scolded, "Friend, I am so hard to wait!" " "Hearing this, the maid hurried out to report. Mr. Ma was overjoyed and ordered his family: "Please come in quickly!" Wang Anshi entered the hall and visited Ma Lao. The young lady is watching through the inner curtain. But I saw Wang Anshi young and handsome, high-spirited, with a loud voice and beaming. Wang Anshi is knowledgeable, and the last two customs naturally pass easily. two of a kind represents his whole life. Ma Lao is also a scholar. He is also an expert on poetry and classics. Naturally, he will not let go of this virtuous husband. Wang Anshi had to take an excellent boy home to report good news and let his parents take the next job.

On this day, the letter of appointment and the betrothal gift were sent to the Wang family, and the Ma family was decorated with lanterns, gongs and drums, and the whole family was beaming. At this moment, there came the news that Wang Anshi was appointed as the fourth Jinshi. The Majia compound was suddenly filled with jubilation, firecrackers were everywhere, and gongs and drums were loud. Du Fu's "Four Happiness Poems" said: "After a long drought, you will meet the rain, and you will meet an old friend in another country; On the wedding night, do it for the first time. " One day, both the horse and the king were very happy. At this time, Wang Anshi was overjoyed. He grabbed a pen and wrote a big book on red paper, which his family and maids posted everywhere. This is the reason why people in China post big double happiness everywhere when they get married. Wang Anshi still felt that he was not satisfied at this time, and wrote a pair of couplets: "Clever couplets become double happiness songs, and lanterns and flying tigers knot silk."

Since then, Wang Anshi has been taught by Ouyang Xiu and assisted by Miss Ma. Eventually, he became a famous politician, thinker and writer in the Song Dynasty, and was included in the Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, leaving a brilliant page in the history of China.
