The person that is familiar with the history a little knows, the position that waits for problem female as a result of productivity in ancient time very special low, expression is in a lot of respects. For instance woman cannot constant show one's face in public, when the guest comes, want evasive, can not enter ancestor ancestral hall, when having a meal, cannot go up desk etc, it is more important to still have is, the woman forbids to read. And the man can read not only however and still 3 wife 4 concubine.
But not be to only the man shines brilliantly in historical endless flow since ancient times, a lot of women do not read same also very clever, for instance this whorehouse woman of Ming Dynasty. Although be whorehouse woman, but she is very clever, she gave according to legend an extremely clever couplet, bring so that the scholars at that time cry to be opposite hard greatly, and this couplet still beat unexpectedly Ming Dynasty is the biggest at that time talent.
The Ming Dynasty at that time is the biggest the talent is Jie Jin, some friends are a little new to this name perhaps, I will be everybody introduction. Jie Jin as a child when be called in place talent, because his gift is clever, countryside tries the first, still gain knowledge later yuan, the person lets admire a bit really for the age that this does not reach 30 years old with him at that time, because can accomplish him such very few, some also is later the character of go down in history as a honor. The has the first talent name that so he also can become really, and " always happy grand ceremony " also be he is chaired repair write, its oneself also leave a lot of classic work on the history.
But just achieved solution when Jie Jin is young yuan later, scene is infinite, because young more flirtatious, so he does not control his conceit indeed, the scholarship that feels in the world has him only is best, who be not a patch on he, this not one day he comes to whorehouse with 29 good friends, edge of a few people drinks an edge to chat, the Jie Jin that drinks at the height of one's enthusiasm begins to boast again oneself how how fierce, saying his is the world the first talent, what two pairs can is opposite on, can not beat his thing is waited a moment on this world. Friends are used to him early also such, also laugh laugh assentation a few.
But not be everybody is willing to listen to him self-dramatizing, this not, after a plays musical instrument whorehouse woman in whorehouse let, feel very funny, also feel very indignant to Jie Jin's word, want to give a thematic take an examination ofing to take an examination of this Jie Yuanlang, see she comes to Jie Jin only beside the say of weak tone delicate language: Hear childe knowledge is very tall, young woman also just has not read a few books, but in a few problems perplex a heart very long, want to be consulted with childe consult, it is OK to do not know. Solve Jin to listen to belle beautiful woman to want to discuss academic issue to him, very happy, the heart has wanted good ostentation one time, promise readily to come down then.
See that whorehouse woman poured a cup of green tea for Jie Jin only, next truly ponders spoke so a the first line of a couplet on a scroll: A cup of green tea, the Jie Yuanzhi that see solution is thirsty. This couplet passes 3 when see a word different pronunciation, the first reads aloud Jie to be read with 3 tone, the 2nd is to read aloud Xie to be read with tone of the four tones of classical Chinese phonetics, the 3rd reads aloud Jie to be read with tone of the four tones of classical Chinese phonetics, means says she pours satisfy one's thirst of a cup of green tea for Jie Jin.
After Jie Jin listens, feel this couplet is opposite hard really on, a long time returns think hard is to do not have countermeasure, the world is the biggest talent, can say apologize to whorehouse woman only, went blushingly. This story is passed later for a paragraph of a much-told story, and this couplet is in 600 years of later also nobody comes out rightly, do not know everybody visits an official whether to going out?
