Eunuch humiliated Ji Xiaolan and Ji Yun, just 16 words. Why did the old eunuch commit suicide in shame?

Speaking of Ji Xiaolan, I'm sure you've seen his personal image portrayed by later generations in many film and television works, especially when it comes to his name, people will first think of Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth. Why do you call him Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth is actually synonymous with his personal speaking style. Therefore, why the eunuch wanted to humiliate Ji Xiaolan, but used the word 16 bring disgrace to oneself, which actually had a lot to do with Ji Xiaolan's own language charm.

There was an episode before the shame suicide, and this happened. The thing is, one day, Ji Xiaolan hurried to see the emperor, but he met a group of little eunuchs on the way. The eunuchs had to pull him and tell him jokes, saying, "Once upon a time there was an emperor with a eunuch by his side. Eunuch can do anything ... "

Ji Xiaolan didn't stop for official business, but one eunuch wanted to know and asked the eunuch who was telling a joke, "What's under the eunuch?" At this time, Ji Xiaolan inserted a sentence: "There is nothing under the eunuch." Later, the little eunuch told the old eunuch who had a good relationship with him.

The old eunuch knew about it and wanted to see for himself whether the minister was the legendary "iron tooth and copper tooth". Then a pair of couplets was given to Ji Xiaolan, saying, "Little Hanlin, wearing winter clothes and holding a summer fan, talked about it in the Spring and Autumn Period." Ji Xiaolan immediately said the second couplet, "The old manager was born in the south. Is that thing still there in the north?" The couplets pay attention to alignment and neatness, and the second couplet happens to be 16. I was ashamed after listening, so I walked away alone.
