Two examples of Ji Xiaolan's wisdom

Ji Xiaolan studied in a private school when he was a child. He is brilliant, unforgettable, remembered and has the reputation of a child prodigy. Mr. Shi likes it very much. Because there was no pressure on his homework, he took time to feed the birds to the hole in the wall and then blocked the hole with bricks. Mr. Shi discovered the secret and blamed him for doing nothing, so he secretly threw the sparrow to death, put it in the hole, and then beat it on the brick that blocked the hole:

Fine-feathered poultry died after brick making,

After class, Ji Xiaolan went to feed the birds and saw the couplets on the brick, which said that the birds were dead. Knowing that it was Mr. Shi, he continued to write a couplet:

Mr Si Tong, the coarse-haired beast.

Mr. Shi was annoyed to see the update of the General Assembly. He took a pointer and asked why he insulted Mr. Shi. Ji Xiaolan unhurriedly replied:

"I am according to Mr. Part One to part two. Look, coarse to fine, hairy to feather, wild to home, beast to poultry, stone to brick, first to last, life to death. Right? Please advise. "

Mr. Shi was speechless and left. A few days later, Ji Yun went to see Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi is still angry and his face is as heavy as water. He sat firmly in the plush chair and refused to welcome him. Ji Xiaolan made another strange move. He walked back from Mr. Wang's house and asked how to read and write the word "Shuo". Mr. Shi doesn't mind. He didn't wake up until Jiyun left. It turns out that the "lottery ticket", that is, the "turtle in the door", is to scold yourself for not going out to see Fujian, but it is not good to add responsibility.

"Vertical, crooked!" [8]

Play with children and judge satrap.

One day, Ji Yun and several of his friends were playing ball in the street. When the official sedan chair of the prefect passed by, their ball was just thrown into the sedan chair. At this time, the chief screamed and all the children fled in shock. Only Ji Yun stood up and stopped the sedan chair to rope the ball. The satrap is glad that he is bold and naive, and he doesn't blame him. He kindly asked his surname and age, deliberately tried his talent and said, "I have a pair of couplets." If you can match, I will give it back to you, otherwise it is mine. " Ji Yun nodded in agreement. The first part of the satrap goes out:

"There are six or seven boys, but you are very cunning."

Jiyun replied without hesitation:

"The satrap is two thousand stones, the only male ..." The last sentence was delayed. The satrap asked him, "Why didn't you say the last sentence?" He replied:

"If the satrap returns the ball to me, it is the word" Lian "; Not paying back is' greed'. " Seeing that he was clever and resourceful, the satrap was sure to get ahead in the future, so he returned the ball to him. [ 1]

The eunuch in Hanlin's drama

An old eunuch found it interesting to see Ji Xiaolan wearing a fur coat and holding a fan in his hand in winter. He said, "Little Hanlin, wear winter clothes and take a summer fan. Can you read one in the spring and autumn?"

Ji Xiaolan recognized the southern accent of the old eunuch and said to him, "Old manager, he was born in the south and came to the north. Is that thing still there? " [5]

Betting at the party

Ji Xiaolan, a famous person in Qing Dynasty, went shopping with his friends one day. Walking down the street, I saw a small shop in front of me, and the proprietress was busy. Ji Xiaolan made a bet with a friend, "I made the boss wife laugh in one sentence and make the boss wife make trouble in another."

My friends didn't believe me and decided to gamble on a banquet. I saw Ji Xiaolan go to the store, bowed to the watchdog in front of the store and called "Dad!" The proprietress "poof" a loud music. Ji Xiaolan turned around and shouted at the proprietress: "Mom!" . Suddenly, the proprietress flew into a rage and cursed Ji Xiaolan.

So Ji Xiaolan won a banquet. [8]

The title link satirizes quacks.

According to legend, there was a quack with poor medical skills and frequent accidents. Ji Xiaolan was delayed several times, and Ji Xiaolan was very dissatisfied with him. Doctors have repeatedly asked Ji Xiaolan's "Mo Bao", the intention is, of course, to borrow Ji Xiaolan's fame and status to improve his social status.

However, for a time, Ji Xiaolan was merciless and had to write a plaque for him: "Mingyuantang". The doctor saw the beautiful words and left happily. Others don't understand what Ji Xiaolan's inscription means. He explained: "Isn't there a saying in the scriptures that' if you can't do it, it's enough' and' if you can't do it, it's enough'? Doctors like this have to sayno. " Everyone who listens is dumb. Then I asked him, "What are you going to do if this doctor pesters me again and insists on matching couplets?"

Ji Xiaolan replied that he had thought of two couplets, one with five words, and changed the phrase "I was exiled by a wise king because of my mistake, and I have been ill for so long without seeing a friend" in Meng Haoran's five-character poem to "The nameless rich man abandoned me, so many patients were scarce" (the nameless one in the first couplet refers to poor medical skills, the rich man refers to patients who borrowed medical treatment, and the reason is in the second couplet. Another seven-character couplet, the first half is a ready-made sentence from Du Fu's "Military Vehicle Shop" poem: "The new ghost is wailing there with the old ghost", and the second half is a ready-made sentence from Li Shangyin's "Ma Wei" poem: "Its fate is uncertain."

I don't think these two couplets will be written in the future, but as far as their antithesis is concerned, they can be said to be seamless and ridiculous. [8]

Inscription Fu Liansheng

In the spring of the forty-first year of Qianlong, the shoes of "Fuliansheng" were spread out amid the noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers. The owner Liu Fuwa was overjoyed. When it comes to the origin of "Fuliansheng", there is a little-known story of Ji Xiaolan. In the thirty-third year of Qianlong, he was demoted to Urumqi because of his involvement in the Lujia case. At that time, Liu Fuwa was a small shoemaker in Beijing, and once owed a favor to the university students in Hebei. Liu Fuwa was very grateful after hearing this and saw Ji Xiaolan off before she died. When leaving, Liu Fuwa sent a pair of cloth boots sewn by herself, wishing the university a pleasant journey. Time flies. Ji Xiaolan has been in the desert for almost two years. One night, when the bright moon was in the sky, Ji Xiaolan was leafing through Li Taibai's poems, singing "A cloud rose between the light in the sky and me, hiding his city in my melancholy heart", and the old things in Beijing came back to his mind. He couldn't help turning over the old things. There are jacket boots given by the emperor and rare treasures given by bureaucrats. Suddenly, Ji Xiaolan's eyes rested on a pair of brand-new black cloth boots. At that time, when I looked carefully, the bottom of the line made by the shoes was very thick, and a small word "Fu" was embroidered with a red line inside the waist of the shoes.

Suddenly, I remembered the scene when Liu Fuwa saw him off that day and said with emotion, "The people really love each other." So Ji Xiaolan took off his old boots and put on new boots made by Liu Fuwa. Disembarking, Fuwa's shoes really brought good news to Ji Xiaolan. A few days later, Emperor Qianlong ordered Ji Xiaolan to return to Beijing that day, and he was reinstated and promoted to a university degree. Ji Xiaolan hurried back to Beijing for several days in this pair of cloth boots that brought the gospel. Since then, Ji Xiaolan officialdom, bon voyage. It's true: Fuwa was born in Wisdom Fofo Agbo and she was promoted to a bachelor's degree. Later, Ji Xiaolan sent someone to find Liu Fuwa, then a shoemaker. Ji Xiaolan asked Liu Fuwa what her wish was. Liu Fuwa said, "I just want to have my own shoe store one day." Ji Xiaolan smiled and said: "Well, Liu Fuwa, blessed, your shop is called' Fuliansheng'!"

Talents enter Hanlin

Ji Yun's Notes on Yuewei Caotang

On June 15th, the second year of Yongzheng (AD 1724), Ji Xiaolan was born in Cuierzhuang, Hejian Prefecture, Zhili (now Cangxian County, Hebei Province). There have been various magical legends about his birth for a long time. According to Zhu's epitaph, on the eve of his birth, "there was a strange light in the water every night" and a light flashed into the cloud tower where he was born, which was later considered as "the embodiment of spiritual things". So in the name of "cloud". "Cloud" means day, and Xiaolan is his word. [ 1]

This strange birth is obviously a legend made up by later generations, but it is true that Ji Yun has special functions since he was a child. At the age of 69, he told himself in Reading Notes of Huaixi Magazine of Wei Caotang: "When I was four or five years old, I could see things at night, just like during the day. After seven or eight years old, I gradually lost consciousness, and after ten years old, I couldn't see anything. Or wake up in the middle of the night, occasionally see, for a while. From the age of 16 to the present, it's only a year or two or hit it off at once, such as lightning Shi Huo. If the cover wants to increase, then God will reduce its ears tomorrow. " Lao Ji's words are probably true. [ 1]

Ji Xiaolan has been called a "child prodigy" since he was a child. There are many stories about his extraordinary talent as a teenager, such as playing games and being too defensive.

Notes of Yuewei Caotang

Talent is important, but learning the day after tomorrow is the basic element for Ji Xiaolan to become a "generation of Confucian scholars". Ji Yun was deeply influenced by his father and strictly urged by his family. Of course, he is also diligent, well-read, and with his own smart talent, his knowledge is increasing day by day. In the 12th year of Yongzheng, Ji Xiaolan entered Beijing with his father and studied under the famous painter Dong Bangda. He is a master of the royal painting academy in Qing Dynasty after Wang. After five years of Qianlong (1740), Ji Yun returned to his hometown to take an examination of the boy, nicknamed "child prodigy", with excellent results. After having obtained the rural examination for 12 years in Gan Long, the articles are rich, colorful and fascinating. After having obtained the provincial examination, the examiners are the famous acton and Liu Tongxun. These two people can't help but say that they are the first after having obtained the provincial examination. /kloc-entered the Jinshi in March, 0/9, ranking 22nd in the senior high school entrance examination and 4th in palace examination. In the same year, he entered imperial academy and started his career. Since then, he has served as an examiner in Shanxi and Shuntian, and studied in Fujian. During Ji Yun's busy learning and serving the emperor, there were many compliments and quips between the monarch and the minister, which not only won wide acclaim, but also won the praise of Emperor Qianlong. [ 1]

After Ji Xiaolan entered the Imperial Academy, his intelligence was brought into full play. One year, Tommy Tam visited Mount Tai in the East, and Ji Yun accompanied him. In front of Migao Rock in Dongyue, Emperor Qianlong suddenly remembered the sentence of "Yang Mi is high" in The Analects of Confucius, and happily integrated a rather difficult couplet: "Yang Mi is high, no matter how hard he drills, it can be Migao." Without thinking, Ji Xiaolan read the next couplet: "Out of its kind, out of its kind, it should be natural." Yes, naturally ingenious and impeccable. [ 1]

Jun Chen Xiajiangnan

Gan Long traveled to Jiangnan many times in his life. The real significance of Ganlong's trip to the south of the Yangtze River is not only to inspect some people's feelings on the spot, but also to travel around the mountains. Therefore, among the retinue officials, Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong, Yuan Mei and other literati are happy to entertain themselves. Every time they go to Jiangnan, they can leave some romantic stories for future generations to tell. Speaking of this year, Emperor Qianlong lived in the palace, wanted to go out for a walk, and decided to go to Jiangnan again. Accompanied by Ji Xiaolan, Yuan Mei, Shenyang, etc. Out of the Forbidden City, I left behind the complicated affairs in the palace and immediately felt refreshed and particularly comfortable. In a short time, I arrived in Tongzhou. When Ganlong lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, he saw the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles on the carefree Tongzhou Road. Suddenly, I was in a good mood. I called to the front of the sedan chair and said, "Ji, Tongzhou is the first post in Jingmen, which is very prosperous." You know there is also a Tongzhou in Jiangsu, which is also the traffic artery. This is really Nantong, North Tongzhou, and North Tongzhou connects the north and the south. "

Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan knew that Qianlong had inadvertently made a top allied, and he wanted to make his own bottom allied. Just out of Beijing, don't spoil the emperor's elegance. But this couplet is clever, and the next couplet is hard to change. Ji Xiaolan looked around and saw many pawnbrokers. He had an idea and said, "Hooray, look at the things on both sides of this road. The east pawnbroker, the west pawnbroker and the east pawnbroker are all things."

Gan Long said after listening: "Ji really deserves his reputation. This couplet is just right and natural." Later, the monarch and his party abandoned Madengzhou and went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal with great interest.

When I came to the boundary of Cangzhou, I saw a temple on the east bank of the canal, with cornices and arches, pavilions and pavilions. Say, "Ji, you have arrived in your hometown of Cangzhou. What's so grand about this temple? "

Ji Xiaolan immediately replied, "Long live my report! This is the Shuiyue Temple, a famous temple in Cangzhou. "

Gan Long said, "Shuiyue Temple is good! Ji Aiqing, I have a pair of couplets. Why don't you come? "

Ji Xiaolan said: "Please give us a link!"

Gan Long chanted, "Fish in Shuiyue Temple swim in rabbits." This couplet looks ordinary, but it is ingenious. There are fish in the water, rabbits in the moon, and rabbits follow the fish when the moon is reflected in the water. It is also a local landscape and a ready-made scene.

Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan thought for a moment and then said, "The tiger in Shanhaiguan jumped over the dragonfly." From Shanhaiguan to Shuiyue Temple, there are tigers in the mountains and dragons in the sea. Shanhaiguan itself is surrounded by mountains and seas, echoing up and down, which is naturally appropriate. Gan Long clapped his hands after hearing this.

When the monarch and his party crossed the Yangtze River, nature changed into a different world and changed the vast and rugged face of Jiangbei, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery everywhere.

At this time, Yuan Mei, a great talent in Jiangnan, stepped forward and said, "Long live, there are mountains, waters and talents in our south." Qianlong called it.

Ji Xiaolan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yuan, although you are a talented person with mountains and waters in the south, we have saints in the north every day."

Gan Long said after listening: "Ji Aiqing is really amazing, and even jokes are not allowed." Say that finish, three people smile and move on.

In Hangzhou, it was dusk, and the monarch and his party stayed in the palace. The next morning, I visited the West Lake. There is a unique scenery in the morning of the West Lake: smoke from the kitchen chimneys around, a layer of mist on the lake, and red carp swimming in groups. There is a ferryman in the distance, wearing a hat and hemp fiber, rowing a boat and singing a fishing song, enjoying himself. When Qianlong saw this scene, his interest increased greatly and he asked, "Ladies, who can write the scene in front of him into a poem with ten ones?" Voice behind him, silent for a long time, no one answered. Gan Long said: "Literati, there is a saying that' South Yuan and North Ji', Yuan must discuss it first." See Yuan Mei search the belly, a face of dull. He said, "Long live, I'm stupid. I can't remember it at the moment." Gan Long said, "What about Ji Aiqing?" In fact, Ji Xiaolan had long thought about it, but he cut a dash all the way. This time, he didn't want to take the lead. Hearing the emperor's hand-picked, he whispered: "one pole, one paddle, one fishing boat, one ferryman, one hook;" A clap and a smile, one person monopolizes a river. After singing, everyone counted, no more, no less, just ten "one" words, praising and saying, "In terms of talent, I am better than anyone else! "In the middle of the lake, I saw red-violet reflecting the sun and green leaves. When the boat passed slowly, a frog jumped from the water onto a lotus leaf. At this moment, the unhappy little Shenyang smiled mysteriously, thinking that Ji Xiaolan had seen enough scenery along the way. This time, I want to shine in front of the emperor and play tricks on him. Pointing to the frog that just jumped up, he said to Ji Xiaolan, "Toad was wearing a green coat when he left the water." At that time, Ji Xiaolan, the assistant minister, was dressed in green official clothes, and Xiao Shenyang compared Ji Xiaolan to a toad to make fun of him.

After hearing this, Ji Xiaolan immediately smiled and said: "There are adults, soup crabs cover red robes!" Xiao Shenyang is a senior minister, wearing a red official uniform. Ji Xiaolan's reply was not only neat, but also compared Shenyang to a bullying crab, implying sarcasm. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, while Xiao Shenyang was flushed.

The monarch, ministers and others sang in chorus, and the atmosphere was high, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time. Unconsciously, it was evening, and the brilliant red sunset shone on the lake, sparkling and row upon row, and the trees hung upside down, adding attractive aura to the beautiful West Lake.

Suddenly, a white crane roared past. Qianlong is still in full bloom, but when he sees this, his face is more radiant. He stood up and said, "Ji Aiqing, I want you to write a poem on this crane."

How dare Ji Xiaolan ignore him? He stepped forward and said, "A crane flies in the sky in Wan Li, and cinnabar tops jade."

When I sang here, I had a brainwave and pointed to the black spot in the distance and said, "Ji, you are wrong." That crane is obviously black. "

Ji Xiaolan smiled and intoned, "Just because I came back late from foraging, I mistakenly entered the West Wild Goose Lake in Xi."

Hearing this, Qianlong and all the ministers were surprised by Ji Xiaolan's flexibility and wit.

Later, when Qianlong visited Pagoda of Six Harmonies on the Qiantang River, he made a couplet: "The tower has six or seven floors, surrounded by east, west, north and south." Ji Xiaolan once again won the favor of Qianlong, saying that "December is a year's constitution, spring, summer, autumn and winter".

The portrait of Ji Xiaolan [8]

Clever understanding of "the old man"

Ji Yun is well-informed, well-informed, witty and eloquent, and has an "iron mouth". No one can say for sure. According to legend, when Ji Yun compiled Sikuquanshu, once it was hot, and Ji Yun was afraid of the heat, he was shirtless, knitting his hair and reading and proofreading at his desk. Just then, Emperor Qianlong stepped into the library. Ji Yun saw it and knew it was disrespectful to see the emperor in this way. But he didn't have time to dress, so he quickly hid under the table and covered himself with a curtain. Emperor Qianlong pretended not to see it, told everyone to make themselves at home and work as usual, and sat in Ji Yun's seat without saying a word.

Ji Yun hid for a long time, sweating like a pig, very uncomfortable. Seeing no movement, he lifted a corner of the curtain and asked, "Is the old man gone?" Looking up, Emperor Qianlong was staring at him and said seriously, "Ji Yun must not be rude." This time, Ji Yun was so scared that his legs went weak that he quickly climbed out from under the table, found a dress to put on, and kowtowed and confessed: "Damn it!" Emperor Qianlong said, "I can forgive others, but I can't forgive you for calling me an old man." This' old man' is born when you say anything, and dies when you don't say anything. "

Others listened to one by one for Ji Yun pinched a cold sweat. Ji Yun stood up, thought for a moment, took his time, and smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, yes! Listen to me, the emperor said long live, this is called' old'; The emperor is the first of trillions of people, known as the' head'; The emperor is the son of heaven, and this is his son, so the emperor is called the old man. " After listening to it, Gan Long smiled and said, "Good! All right! All right! You were really reborn in Chunyu Kun and reincarnated in Cao Zijian. I forgive your innocence. " [8]

Trouble caused by tobacco bags

Ji Yun likes smoking and has a big pipe in his hand all day. All officials secretly call him "da ji Guan". On one occasion, Ji Yun had no time to put out his cigarette, so he had to hide his pipe in his boots and appeared in front of the holy family. The smoke burned in his boots, and Ji Yun endured the pain. He hoped that the emperor would finish it quickly, just waiting for the smoke to come out of his pants. The emperor asked him what happened, and Ji Yun replied, "There is a fire!" The emperor hurriedly let him go out to put out the fire, and Ji Yun went out with one foot. For a long time, Ji Yun was on crutches.

On another occasion, after the compilation, Ji Yun wrote a book in one breath when he wrote a summary of the "book list" for the emperor. The steward was jealous of Ji Yun's talent. In order to crowd out Ji Yun, he found two people to write a "book list". Later, because what I wrote was really unsightly, I had to bring Ji Yun's, sign my name and present it to the emperor. Before Qianlong finished reading it, he asked, "Is this written by Ji?" It turns out that Qianlong knew Ji Yun's rhyme for a long time. [8]

The monarch and the minister guessed riddles together.

On the eve of the Lantern Festival one year, Emperor Qianlong asked every minister to put a note with riddles, couplets or poems on it and send it to the palace for everyone to enjoy and celebrate the Lantern Festival.

On the Lantern Festival, the royal garden is full of colorful lights. Qianlong and the civil and military officials walked up and down in the imperial garden, as if wandering in the sea of lights. Whenever they walk to a lamp, or enjoy poetry, or guess riddles, or talk, they burst into hearty laughter from time to time.

Minister of civil and military affairs accompanied Emperor Qianlong to Ji Xiaolan to offer lanterns, only to see a lantern riddle couplet hanging on it, saying:

Black is not, white is not, red and yellow is not; It seems that they are neither livestock nor wild animals.

There are poems, words and Analects of Confucius. Blurred to the east, west, north and south, although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article.

When the man Wu saw this riddle couplet, he immediately restrained his smile and brow, and they were all stumped.

Emperor Qianlong, who loves dialogue and riddles, is at a loss at the moment. The monarch and the minister racked their brains together, but they still didn't know what to say after guessing. In the end, Ji Xiaolan had to solve the mystery himself.

It turns out that crossword puzzles are typed. The first part is "guessing" and the second part is "riddle". [9]

Gu Xi Duihuajia

In other words, when Emperor Qianlong was in power for 50 years, in order to celebrate the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and to celebrate his 50 years in power, Emperor Qianlong invited people over 60 to dinner in Beijing. Emperor Qianlong was very happy and asked who was the oldest. One of them called himself 14 1, and the emperor was overjoyed.

Because the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in l644, which happened to be 14 1 year. This person just witnessed the history of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he recruited Ji Xiaolan to join him:

Shanglian:

The reunion of Hua Jia will last 37 years (Hua Jia is 60 years old, and the reunion is 120, plus 3×7=2 1, which is exactly141);

Ji Xiaolan thought for a moment, namely the bottom allied:

Ancient and rare celebrate the spring and autumn (ancient and rare is 70 years old, double celebration 140, and one more time is just 14 1).

This couplet is so neat that Ji Xiaolan is really the best talent in the world. [9]
