Hospitality, like livestock prostitutes [1], and his wife Liu is absolutely jealous [2], so Dongpo has a poem: "The laity in Longqiu is also poor, talking about sleepless nights." Suddenly I heard lion roars, and my crutch fell into my palm. "Hedong lion refers to the Liu family. Poe was also drunk, and Ji Changshu said, "People must seek [3] to cultivate the British monarch.

In the past few years, I want to gradually seek pure happiness. There is no new progress in Ji [5]. What does Mrs. Liu think makes her sick? " Another post said: "It is said that [6] the old environment values friendship, and the law should be like this. What you have suffered [7] is not only a tour, but also the damage to the medical stone [8] and the recuperation of your daily life and diet.

Chen Nian, whose real name is Ji Chang, is the son of Chen Gongbi. He lived in seclusion in Qiting Mountain in Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) and called himself "Mr. Longqiu", also known as "Fangshan Zi". He likes to make friends and raise prostitutes, but his wife Liu is fierce and jealous, so Su Dongpo said in a poem: "Longqiu laymen are also poor, and they can't sleep at night if they talk empty words." Suddenly I heard lion roars, and my crutch fell into my palm. "Hedong lion refers to the Liu family. Su Dongpo once wrote to Yao Chen after drinking: "Send a quatrain to find Xiuyingjun. "I think Xiu Yingjun may be the fine print of Chen Jichang's concubine. While Yuan You was in Song Zhezong, Huang Tingjian wrote a letter to Chen Jichang, which said, "I know in detail that Mrs. Liu has been taking medicine, but how is she now? "In old age, you want to gradually seek a quiet life fun, and there is no new beautiful concubines. Then what's bothering Mrs. Liu that makes her sick? " Another post wrote: "Thank you for your interest in telling the old world that you should do as you say. When you are depressed, you might as well go sightseeing, which will naturally play a role in reducing medicine stones and recuperating your daily life. " Mrs Hedong can still pity your age and make you bohemian? "Visible liu's jealousy has long been obvious, so Su Shi and Huang Tingjian talked about it.
