孔融小时候，不仅学习勤奋，而且善于思考。父亲外出拜客总是带着他去。10岁那年，他随父亲来到洛阳。正逢洛阳太守李膺大府内走。这时守门人忙把拉，问道：“你是哪家小孩，到一边玩去!”

孔融严肃地回答说：“请你们进去通报，山东孔融来访。”守门人见他一本正经，也不知是什么来头?笑着问：“小公子，可有红贴?”孔融说：“我家和你家主人世代交往，又有师生之谊，无需红贴，只管通报。”守门人怕慢待贵客，只好进去通报。这时李膺正和许多文人雅士交谈，听了通报，一时想不起这位孔融和自己家庭是什么关系，只好哈哈：“请进!”

小孔融兴冲冲走进大厅，一边向主人问候，一边拱手招呼各位来宾，态度不亢不卑。李膺一边让座，一边打量着这位俊才少年，心里好生奇怪：这小孩从未见过面，而他为何自称通家呢?于是，李膺问道：“小公子，你说我们两家世代交情，我怎么想不起来啊!”孔融微笑着说：“500年前孔子曾经问礼于老子，孔子姓孔，老子姓李，说明孔、李两家500年就有师生之谊。今你姓李，我姓孔，也是师生关系，我们两家不是累世通家吗!”

孔融语出惊人，在座客人无不暗暗称奇。太守李膺不禁哈哈大笑起来：“小公子真神童也。”唯有太中大夫陈韪不以为然，冷冷地说：“小时候聪明的人，长大后未必有作为。”面对挑战，孔融笑着说：“这样说来，先生小时候一定很聪明。”这一巧妙对答，弄得陈韪面红耳赤无言回对，暗暗坐在一旁生气。孔融则目不斜视，装着大人模样，一本正经地喝着茶，引得众人哈哈大笑。
