亂點鴛鴦譜

• 1626: Feng Menglong, Common sayings for the ages, Chapter eight, Prefecture Chief Qiao arbitrarily fills out the marriage contracts (醒世恆言/第08卷 喬太守亂點鴛鴦譜)
• A chapter from a novel written in vernacular Mandarin in the Ming Dynasty. The novel is a collection of humorous folktales.
• Chapter eight synopsis:

  In the Song Dynasty, the Liu family had one daughter and one son. The son (Liu Pu) was betrothed to Sun Zhuyi, while the daughter (Liu Huiniang) was betrothed to the Pei Zheng. When Liu Pu got sick, Sun Zhuyi's widowed mother worried that she would have to pay the dowry, only to have her son-in-law die of an illness soon after the marriage. A plan was hatched to send her own son (Sun Yulang), disguised as her daughter, to the Liu's. If Liu Pu's health did not improve within three days, Sun Yulang was to return home, and no dowry would be paid. Since Liu Pu was too ill to spend the wedding night with his new "bride," it was agreed that Liu Pu's sister (Liu Huiniang) would take his place. Sun Yuliang, still disguised as his sister, was smitten with Liu Huiniang, and took advantage of her that night in the bridal chamber. When Pei Zheng's father discovered what had happened, he became outraged, and filed a complaint with Prefecture Chief Qiao. After hearing from all parties, Prefecture Chief Qiao decided to solve the problem by decreeing that Sun Yulang give up his betrothal to Xu Wenge, so that she could marry Pei Zheng. Sun Yuliang would then marry Liu Huiniang, and Sun Zhuyi would marry Liu Pu.

   • 國外的硬體發燒友獨特的創意和高超的動手能力，一向為國內玩家所稱道。不過有些改造看起來確實有些不倫不類，比方說下面這個被作者美其名曰「LogiNoki」的滑鼠MOD作品，就給人一種亂點鴛鴦譜的感覺，作者讓諾基亞6610手機和羅技G5滑鼠湊成了一對，將6610的螢幕和控制晶片拆下塞進G5的「肚子」裡，組合成一個帶LCD螢幕的滑鼠。 [MSC, trad.]

     The unique creativity and superb abilities of foreign hardware fanatics has always received high praise from domestic gamers. However, some innovations truly defy description. For example, one can't help but getting the sense that the mod design of the computer mouse below, euphemistically called "LogiNoki" by its creator, is an odd pairing. Its creator paired the Nokia 6610 cellphone with the Logitech G5 computer mouse by taking the screen and the control chip from the 6610, and inserting it into the "guts" of the G5. This combination produces a computer mouse with an LCD screen.
