从前有位私塾先生,他的一个学生在京城做了大官,衣锦还乡时特地登门来看望老师。可这位老师却怏怏不乐,觉得自己教了这么多年书,还是“三间茅草房,一介穷书生”。于是便有意出对联想看看学生是否真的品学俱佳。先生出的第一联上联为:新竹长长过老竹,欺侮先生。学生对的下联是:旧莲种种出新莲,包涵小子。先生拍案叫绝。先生的第二联上联是:驴吃牡丹,这畜牲满口富贵。学生对的是:骡驮元宝,那杂种浑身金银。先生这则对联是想看看学生贪不贪财,学生既对得好,又表明了视钱财如粪土的态度,先生听了很高兴,随即出了表示恭贺的第三联:八目加贺,贺福贺寿贺登榜。 Once upon a time, a private school teacher and one of his students made a great official in the capital.
