For example, in Zalu, Xiao Ting, someone mentioned:
? (Ji Xiaolan) This year, he is 80 years old, and he is still lustful. He eats dozens of pounds of meat every day and doesn't vomit a grain a day. What a miracle! ? At this rate, Lao Ji is eighty years old, but he still can't help being beautiful. He can eat dozens of pounds of meat a day. Of course, this meat-based approach is really too bizarre. Imagine, who can eat dozens of pounds of meat a day?
There are many records like this, which are generally the same. Comparatively speaking, the Book of Insect Sounds is even more bizarre:
? Ji Wenda said that he was a wild monster who wandered around, lived on meat, didn't eat a grain of rice and counted women every day. Five drums are like a day, and he goes back to the house once, once at noon, once at dusk, and once in bed. In addition, those who are lucky on a whim are also common. ? Compared with Xiao Ting's Miscellaneous Notes, Insect Records is more exaggerated and shameful. According to this calculation, Ji Xiaolan should be a concubine more than five times a day, once in the morning, once after returning home, once at noon, once at night and once before going to bed. In addition to these five times, Ji Xiaolan sometimes? Lucky? , is a fighter among men.
There are many similar unofficial history. For example, the owner of Xiaohengxiang Room also mentioned in the Grand View of unofficial history in Qing Dynasty:
? Gong () never eats rice noodles, occasionally, but rice never tastes good. When drinking, only ten plates of pork and a pot of tea are served. ? However, although these things are written by nose and eyes, you can see at a glance that these rumors about Ji Xiaolan are really unreasonable. For the time being, we believe that he can eat dozens of pounds of meat a day, but as far as his salary is concerned, can he really stand such extravagance?
In fact, although Ji Xiaolan was deeply favored by Qianlong, it was not smooth sailing. When Ji Xiaolan was an official, he tipped off his friends, so he got into trouble and was sent to the frontier. When he was in trouble, Ji Xiaolan lived a miserable life, and it was not uncommon for him to have no food. His favorite concubine also died of illness.
Ji Xiaolan's love affair is widespread, which may be related to his obsession with Yuewei Caotang Notes in his later years. This college student of the Qing Dynasty likes to write some gossip about unofficial history when he has nothing to do, which has somewhat influenced the impression of future generations on him. From one hand to the other, Ji Xiaolan became a monster.
There are not as many questions about Ji Xiaolan's wife as everyone thinks. Although the ancients said three wives and four concubines, is this true in unofficial history? Lascivious? Ji Xiaolan also has a wife and three concubines. His wife, Ma, comes from a scholarly family, and it is said that they are very loving.
