On Pu Songling's Translation of Classical Chinese from Listening to the Mirror

The Zheng brothers in Yidu, Shandong Province are all scholars. Zheng has been famous for a long time, and his parents are very fond of him. Even his wife and children followed suit. Er Zheng's parents don't like it, his wife is looked down upon by his parents, and the status of the two brothers at home is very different. One cold and one hot, in comparison, the Zheng couple are still quite unhappy. Erzheng's daughter-in-law often says to Erzheng: They are all men. Why can't you fight for me and my children? So Erzheng got angry, studied hard and finally became famous. Parents treat them better, or not as good as Zheng. Second, Zheng's daughter-in-law has great expectations for her husband. On New Year's Eve next year, she secretly used the "mirror to listen" to divination: two people just got up and pushed each other and said: You are cool, too. Second, Zheng's daughter-in-law went home and didn't know whether this sentence was auspicious or fierce.

After the exam, my brother went home. In summer, two daughters-in-law cook for people working in the field in the kitchen, which is very hot. Suddenly, the Malays got the news that Zheng Da had won. Mother-in-law went to the kitchen and said to her eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest son won, so you go and cool off! Erzheng's daughter-in-law was angry and sad, crying and cooking. At this time, someone came to report to Joe Cheng. Second daughter-in-law threw away the cake rolling pin and stood up and said, I'm cool, too! I am angry and blurt it out. After careful consideration, I realized that the listening mirror is still effective.

Shi Yi said: Poor man, it makes sense that parents don't treat you as a son! This is not an emotional place in the family. But Erzheng's daughter-in-law inspires her husband, which is very different from those who have no talent. Throwing sticks is a pleasure!

Hope to adopt, thank you.
