Let's talk about where he lives first, and read Wei Caotang. Don't mention thatched cottage, everyone thinks of thatched cottage. It is said to be a thatched cottage, but it is actually a courtyard with a clear brick and wood structure covering an area of 570 square meters, which basically belongs to the architectural pattern of a two-in-one quadrangle. Yuewei Caotang is another name for this courtyard. Think about this time, when we buy a house of 100 square meters, it will be big. Compared with Ji Xiaolan's nearly 600-square-meter quadrangles, it is simply weak.
According to historical records, Ji Xiaolan had one wife and six concubines in his life, and two of them were handsome and intelligent. If you marry them, you will never come back. It is used to do housework. So if you want to raise it, you really can't afford it without money.
In addition, "I am 80 years old this year, and I am still lascivious. I eat dozens of pounds a day, and I don't vomit a grain a day. It's really amazing. Fair life does not eat noodles or occasionally, but rice is never catchy. Just drink ten plates of pork and make a pot of tea. " At that time, pork was not as good as it is now, and ordinary people could not afford it. And Ji Xiaolan eats dozens of pounds of pork every day. Now he is rich and can't afford it. Therefore, in terms of the economic level at that time, although Ji Xiaolan's family was not so rich, it was known as the richest man in the world in the18th century, and it was definitely rich.
Ji Xiaolan's greatest achievement in his life is that he didn't compete with these two people as shown in the TV series. His greatest historical achievement is actually that he presided over the compilation of Sikuquanshu and Yueweitang Annotation. Therefore, what Ji Xiaolan really praised in his time was actually his talent. Ji Xiaolan has a true sense of humor. Niu Ying of the Qing Dynasty said: "Ji Wenda is a public figure who likes humor, but many officials are humiliated." Therefore, there are many interesting stories about Ji Xiaolan.
When Ji Xiaolan was very young, he liked to play rattan ball with his friends. One day, he and his friends were playing football as usual. The sedan chair of the county magistrate passed by and the ball hit the sedan chair of the county magistrate. The referee picked up the ball and Ji Xiaolan stepped forward to pick it up. The magistrate joked, "There are six or seven boys, but you are cunning." Ji Xiaolan said: "The satrap is two thousand stones, and he is the only one ... If you return the ball to me, it will be the only one"; If you don't pay back, it is' independence and greed'. " The referee lamented his cleverness, so he returned the ball to him.
After becoming an official, Ji Xiaolan worked in the south study room of the palace. When it is cold in winter, Ji Xiaolan wears winter clothes and holds a long fan. An old eunuch saw him like this and made fun of him. So he went up to him and said, "I have a couplet here, not just whether Ji will pick it up or not." After Ji Xiaolan nodded, the eunuch said, "Little Hanlin, wearing winter clothes and holding a summer fan, have you read the Spring and Autumn Annals?" A pair of couplets, all in spring, summer, autumn and winter, is difficult. The old eunuch thought that Ji Xiaolan was not sure, so he waited for a joke. Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaolan smiled: "The granny Guo-zi-jian diploma is in the south and has come to the north. Is that thing still there? " "Ji Xiaolan's wit is really amazing.
Gan Long and his opponent Gan Long said, "There is a star chess in the sky. Who can play it?" Ji Xiaolan replied, "There are pipa roads everywhere, and no one can play them." Qianlong wanted to test Ji Xiaolan, so he asked to write a poem with ten ones. Ji Xiaolan's theory is that "a hat withers, a fishing boat withers, and a fisherman has a hook". I don't know how to answer these two sentences. When Qianlong saw this, he shouted and patted the table and said, "I can't stand it anymore. "I didn't expect Ji Xiaolan to have a brainwave and realize the truth of' one shot, one shout and one laugh, and one person catches a river alone'.
Moreover, Ji Xiaolan has many famous pairs and riddles.
For example, black is not, white is not, red and yellow is not, as if it is neither domestic nor wild; There are also poems, words and Analects of Confucius, which are vague about east, west, north and south. Although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article. The answer to this riddle is actually "guess", which makes people unable to think. Just here, we can see that Ji Xiaolan's literary accomplishment is very high.
