Tell two short stories about the frugality of the ancients and see the funny side of the ancients. First of all, when Fan Zhongyan's son Fan Chunren was an official in the imperial court, he once left his colleague and secretary Duan Chao at home for dinner. After Huang Duan went back for dinner, he solemnly said to others, "It's a pity that the family style of Prime Minister Fan's family has changed!" The person who heard this didn't believe it. Ask him what happened. Duan Chao replied: "usually, their family eats, and the dishes are always pickles and salted tofu." This time, his family left me for dinner, and two small skewers of meat were actually placed on pickles and salted tofu. "

Second, Harry has always insisted on his honesty. When he was a magistrate of a county, all the dishes at the dinner table were planted by himself and the people behind the official residence. Wine, meat and the like are rarely eaten. It is said that his only luxury is to buy two pounds of meat for his mother's birthday. At that time, it was widely spread in officialdom as news. Even Governor Hu Zongxian couldn't help saying to others in a critical tone: Do you know that Harry bought meat? He bought two Jin, two Jin!

In addition, Su Dongpo, a Su Dongpo, was a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He had a close friendship with Huairen, a monk of Baiyun Temple at that time, and they appreciated each other. But when they are together, they often bicker and tell many humorous stories.

One day Su Dongpo went to play with monk Huairen again. As soon as he entered the temple gate, he shouted, "Where's the bald donkey?"

When monk Huairen saw that it was Su Dongpo, he said with a smile, "Dongpo eats grass."
