Su Xiaomei Legend Su Shi's younger sister, Su Xiaomei, has been reading poetry since she was a child, is proficient in managers, and is a talented woman. When the little sister was sixteen years old, there were many people who came to the door to say that they were close, and the little sister was not ready to get married too early because she was still young, and she tried to learn more things when she was young, so she was very disgusting to the people who came to the family, but she couldn't be rude. So she came up with a way to ask all the suitors to answer three questions, and if they answered correctly, they would marry him.

Su Xiaomei chooses her husband with talent, and there are many talented women in Shu, and there is another Su Xiaomei in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the spirit of Sichuan in the Song Dynasty was completely reformed by the Su family, Su Xiaomei's father Su Xun, and her brother Su Shi and Su Zhe were all talented and talented.

Su Xiaomei is neither fat nor thin, with thin red lips, a round face, big black eyes, a high forehead, and a prominent jaw, she looks like a wise man at first glance. She has loved to fight with her two brothers since she was a child, and she is naïve, especially her eldest brother Su Shi has a full beard, a fat belly, and wears wide robes and large sleeves.

Su Shi seems to have a little sister, known as Su Xiaomei, and there are often stories about Su Shi's Buddha seal and Su Xiaomei in the story classics.

Qin Guan's wife is called Xu Wenmei, not the legendary Su Xiaomei. This is what he himself wrote for his father-in-law. His father-in-law is a wealthy businessman surnamed Xu in Gaoyou, because he has a little money, he donated an official account of the main book, and gave birth to three daughters, named Xu Wenmei, Xu Wenying, and Xu Wenrou.

Qin Guan said at the end of the article "Xu Jun's Book of Lines": "The three Xu Jun and the three women sighed and said: The son should study, and the woman must marry a scholar."

With a beautiful wife, such as his Zhiyun. ”。

There are rumors, but later generations are fictitious, Su Shi only has one younger brother, Su Zhe. The so-called Su Xiaomei was only made up by later generations based on the maidservants around Su Shi in his later years.

According to the official historical records and all the family letters collected from Su Shi, it can only be said regrettably that Su Shi does not have a sister like Su Xiaomei. It is rumored that Su Shi has such a sister who is smart and full of poetry and books, in order to make Su Shi's image of such a great literati through the ages more perfect, Su Shi has a younger brother named Su Zhe It is true, Su Shi and Su Zhe and their father Su Xun are included in the Tang and Song dynasties. Teacher Kang Zhen has a detailed explanation of Su Shi's family in the Baijia Forum, and the address is below.

Yes, it is Su Xiaomei, a talented woman.

1 Su Dongpo and his sister often joke in the form of talking about poetry, which is funny and funny. Su Xiaomei's forehead is higher, and Su Dongpo's chin is longer. One day, Su Dong's mouth accounted for two sentences and teased his sister: "Three or five steps before leaving the hall, the forehead will go to the front of the painting hall first." ”

The little sister did not show weakness, and opened her mouth to say two sentences: "A little lovesick tears last year have flowed to the cheeks so far." Both brothers and sisters used exaggerated methods to satirize each other's physical characteristics, which was very interesting.

2 One day, Su Dongpo's friend Huang Tingjian came to visit, and as soon as he sat down, the little sister said: "You came just in time, I have two unfinished poems, you can help me revise them." Huang Tingjian hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." In front of Su Dongpo, how dare you say to revise your poems! ”

Su Dongpo said modestly: "Brother don't be polite, my sister trusts you so much, of course I asked you for advice." Huang Tingjian is not an ordinary person, he is the founder of the Jiangxi faction, and his poems and essays are very famous, but he is still humble: "Then I'll try." ”

Xiaomei said: "I have two lines of poetry, and I want to add two words, but I don't know which word is appropriate to add for a while." You help me figure it out. ”

You name it! The two of them asked at the same time.

Light breeze fine willows, light moon plum blossoms. What's better to add these two words? ”

Su Dongpo pondered for a while and said: "The breeze shakes the fine willows, the light moon reflects the plum blossoms, and the 'shake' and 'reflection' are good!" ”

Huang Tingjian also thinks that Su Dongpo's opinion is correct: "In my opinion, 'shaking' and 'ying' are very good. Su Xiaomei shook her head.

Su Dongpo thought about it again and said: "Then add 'dance' and 'hidden' to become 'light breeze dancing willows, light moon hidden plum blossoms'." ”

Huang Tingjian continued: "These two words are good, there is movement and stillness. ”

Xiaomei shook her head again, smiled, and said: "The words I added are 'help' and 'loss', that is to say, 'the breeze supports the fine willows, and the light moon loses the plum blossoms', how about it?" ”

Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian clapped their hands after hearing this: "This 'support' is a 'loss', and the light wind, fine willows, light moon, and plum blossoms are all written alive, it's really good!" ”

There are few talents in the bottom of the pen, and there is no limit to the strategy in the chest.

Dongpo secretly changed the little sister union.

Su Dongpo's sister Su Xiaomei is both talented and beautiful, and she can be good at poetry. In order to find a satisfactory Lang Jun for the little sister, the Su family is ready to choose a marriage with literature. Fang Ruoxu, the son of a wealthy family, has been envious of Su Xiaomei's literary talent for a long time, and hurriedly came to the door to apply for the election after hearing the news.

He presented a few poems, and Su Xiaomei saw that it was bland, so she took up the pen and wrote a couplet on it as a reply. Lian said:

There is little talent at the bottom of the pen.

There is nothing in the chest.

As soon as Su Dongpo saw the couplet written by the little sister, he was worried that he would anger the wealthy family of the Fang Mansion and cause right and wrong, so he quietly added a word to the upper and lower couplets of the little sister, and changed the couplet to:

The talent at the bottom of the pen is rare.

There is no slippery poverty in the chest.

Fang Gongzi was overjoyed after reading it, and was eager to see Su Xiaomei. Su Dongpo knew that the little sister was clumsy by nature, and he was worried that the joke would be too big, and it would be difficult to end up with money, so he hurriedly stopped it. He borrowed the poem written by the little sister to deceive Fang Ruoxu, saying:

My sister has a long face, a protruding forehead, and her appearance is not good, if you don't believe it, there is poetry as proof. As he spoke, he said

Last year, a drop of lovesick tears has not yet reached the cheeks this year.

Before going out of the door for three or five steps, the forehead went to the front of the painting hall first.

If Fang believes that it is true, he will not force it. (zhuan)

Su Dongpo's younger sister was originally named Su Zhen, alias Su Xiaomei, and was the wife of Qin Guan, a well-known lyricist in the people. She is smart and talented, and she is good at poetry and songs.
