Su dongpo wrote to his daughter-in-law two expressions of love, and his daughter-in-law added two sentences, when the son came in.

In the past, there has been a lot of cheating, but there is a special kind of affair, which is contrary to the moral and ethical principle of stealing a daughter-in-law. Still, that's not stopping it. In ancient times, the theft of the weng's daughter-in-law was called a "pickpocket".

The origin of the word "scoop up ashes" there are many kinds of legend story, the main theory is that: in the temple incense burners, burning more foil, time grew, formed the large, monks were put out the money. Later, when the people at the temple knew about it, they came to the stove to steal tin. Because of her daughter-in-law's consonant, it is extended to the old father-in-law to steal her daughter-in-law's lingo.
There is a classic story about "picking up the dust" : it is said that when the generation of the talented son su dongpo had just arrived in middle age, the family had a misfortune. His wife died of illness, and he never married again. His son was an ignorant man who spent all day eating and drinking, and doing nothing. His daughter-in-law is prompting a crisis, not only long, beautiful and versatile, unique romance omnipotent, verses without impassability, is willing to "bend to marry" the son of su dongpo unwillingly, main reason is that admire su dongpo talent and fame.

One time, the daughter-in-law gave the su dongpo tea, which was reading in the study, and the tea was sent to the desk, but the child's daughter-in-law's feet were stuck, while the eyes of a pair of water spirits looked directly at su dongpo. Su dongpo natural realized the taste of the "eye", but he understood that "expect", as a result, one side end up gently sipped his tea cups, then quickly with his fingers on the desk while together. After su dongpo for middle-aged widowed, temper big changes, usually will not wipe table for a long time, so that the table covered with thick grey, soon, he has written two verse was clearly displayed: "in the green fields again a pipa, longitudinal yangchun did not dare to play".

The daughter-in-law looked at, immediately put out the delicate jade hand, quickly in the back to write a two sentence: "if the father-in-law plays a song, the fat water does not flow outside the field". The red - faced race apple, ran away. At that moment, the son of su dongpo came back and saw that their father looking at desk trance, came over and asked what he see, su dongpo scared silly, but immediately and return to absolute being, hurriedly with sleeves will erase a handwriting on the table, and glancing said: "I didn't see what ah, I'm trying to scoop up ashes!"
