In the early 1920s, Zheng Zhenduo got married in Shanghai, and the bride was Gao Junzhen, the daughter of Gao, a veteran of the Commercial Press. The wedding adopted the most fashionable "civilized wedding" ceremony at that time. According to etiquette, both parents of the married person must affix their personal seals on the marriage certificate to show their loyalty.

The day before the wedding, Zheng Zhenduo remembered that her mother had not printed the letter, so she wrote to Qu Qiubai to handle it for a rainy day. On the same day, I received a reply from Qu Qiubai, but there was no writing paper, only a piece of "Autumn White Seal Carving", which read: "Lithography is two yuan per word, and one is taken every week. Time-limited dispatch, double embellishment. The side section is almost two yuan, not counting words.

Tooth seal, crystal seal and bronze seal are discussed separately. "Zheng Zhenduo a look, thought it was an excuse for Qu Qiubai busy carving, but let others carved a spare. The next morning, when the wedding was about to begin, someone sent a red wedding gift package, which read: "Mr. Jindo and Ms. Junzhen got married and gave 50 yuan as a gift. Qu Qiubai. "There is no cash or gift certificate in the wedding bag, only a tripartite Shi Tian seal.

One party is Mrs. Zheng's; The rest are the bride and groom. Mrs. Zheng has a large single chapter, the bride and groom are combined into a pair, and the word "Changle" is engraved on the side to congratulate the newcomer Changle Yongkang and grow old together. Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen are both from Changle County, Fujian Province, and their meanings are both puns. The three chapters are exquisite and elegant, and the master understands the truth of the book "fifty yuan a gift" after enjoying the play.

The original three chapters are engraved with the word 12, and the embellishment should be 24 yuan; Double dispatch is 48 yuan; Border currency 2 yuan, hence the name "fifty yuan a gift". Qu Qiubai's unexpected joy added a special festive atmosphere to Gao Zheng's wedding, which became a much-told story for a while.

Newton forgot to eat.

Newton, a great British physicist, once invited a friend to dinner at home. The food was ready, but before his friend arrived, he went into the laboratory and concentrated on the experiment.

When my friend came, I couldn't find Newton. Because he was in a hurry to go to work, he finished his meal alone, put the leftover chicken bones in the box and left. In the evening, Newton finished his experiment and prepared to eat. But when he saw the chicken bones in the box, he showed an epiphany and said with a smile, "I thought I hadn't eaten yet, but I have already eaten."

3. Madame Curie's "lucky" lovelorn.

1883, 16-year-old Polish girl Maria, later Madame Curie, went to a noble family as a tutor, and she planned to earn some money to go to college. Two years later, casimir, the eldest son of this family, fell in love with Maria, who just turned 19, and they planned to get married.

Of course, it is impossible to go to college. However, due to their different family backgrounds, their marriage was firmly opposed by casimir's parents, and casimir, who was weak-willed, gave in to his parents. Maria was miserable and prepared to "bid farewell to the world", but she finally restrained herself with tenacious will.

As a result, she turned her personal misfortune into a driving force to devote herself to greater goals, and became an education to cultivate the kindness of poor local children and the courage to go to Paris to study alone. People think this is a lucky lovelorn. Otherwise, her history will be rewritten and mankind will lose one of the greatest female scientists to date.

4. Don't indulge in pillows
