The anecdote about Ji Yun can be summarized in one sentence.

First, skillfully understand the "old man"

Ji Xiaolan is brilliant and sophisticated, but he is slovenly and often disheveled when working in hot weather. One day, Ji Xiaolan was working in the army with bare arms when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates: "The Emperor is here". Ji Xiaolan was afraid of being desecrated with bare arms, but it was too late to get dressed. In desperation, he had to get under the table.

Emperor Qianlong had already seen everything in his eyes. He sat down in the chair calmly and calmly. Ji Xiaolan hid under the table, panting and sweating. After an hour, he couldn't hear anything, so he got up the courage and asked, "Is the old man gone?" When Emperor Qianlong heard this, he asked sharply with a straight face, "Good Ji Xiaolan, what do you mean by calling me an old man without taking a bus?"

Ji Xiaolan hurriedly kowtowed and explained, "Long life is called old age, and head held high. As for the son, the emperor is a purple star, and the son of heaven is also. This is what the old man means. "

Emperor Qianlong turned anger into joy, smiled smugly and pardoned Ji Xiaolan.

Second, Ji Xiaolan quips.

As a teenager, Ji Xiaolan was brilliant. Once, he and his friends were playing ball in the street. It happened that the official passed by in a sedan chair. Carelessly, the ball was thrown into the car. The children looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Ji Xiaolan summoned up the courage to beg for the ball.

The official made a mock couplet. "There are six or seven boys, but you are very cunning." Let Ji Xiaolan make a couplet. If you are right, give him back the ball.

Ji Xiaolan thought to himself, "The satrap has two thousand burdens, and the duke is the only one ..."

"Why don't you finish?" The official asked. "Give me the ball back, and you are honest or greedy." The referee was stunned and had to return the ball to Ji Xiaolan. Little friends sincerely admire this clever child.

Third, every straw bag

Qing dynasty minister, Kun greedy. Once he built a new bamboo garden, knowing that Mo Bao in Ji Xiaolan was precious, he asked him to write a pavilion.

After a little thinking, Ji Xiaolan wrote "Bamboo Bud" on the paper.

He Kun quickly asked craftsmen to carve plaques and hang them on the pavilion.

One day, Emperor Qianlong came to the garden and saw a plaque of "Bamboo Bud" on the pavilion. He couldn't help laughing. Kun laughed with him. Unexpectedly, the emperor said, "What a Ji Xiaolan. This word "bamboo bud" is a straw bag when it is disassembled! "

Four. Interesting stories about Ji Xiaolan's couplets.

Ji Xiaolan studied in a private school when he was a child. He is brilliant, well educated and remembered as 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 feather bird brick is dead,"

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 Mr. Shi did it, he continued to write a couplet:

"Mr. Stone, 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, why did you insult your husband? Ji Xiaolan unhurriedly replied, "I will continue to make the next couplet according to my husband's first couplet. Look, coarse to fine, hairy to feather, wild to home, beast to poultry, stone to brick, first to last, life to death. Yes, it's still true. Please advise. "

Mr. Shi was speechless and left. A few days later, I 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 turned out that "lottery", that is, "turtle in the door", scolded himself for not going out to see the guests off, but it was not easy to add responsibility, and secretly scolded: "What a bad talent!"

Verb (short for verb) Jeddah Dai Yan

Smoking is one of the three major hobbies in Ji Xiaolan's life. He is addicted to smoking. He is addicted to cigarettes. The tobacco pouch used is custom-made and has a large capacity. Some people say it can hold three or four ounces of tobacco at a time. Although this is somewhat exaggerated, it is unique in Beijing and rare in the whole country. Therefore, it has the nickname "Ji Dayan Bao".

Ji Xiaolan is a heavy smoker. He often holds a pipe in his hand and keeps smoking, which makes him feel very comfortable. But sometimes I have to give up what I love, that is, eat, sleep and see the emperor. One day, Emperor Qianlong went to Yuanmingyuan to inspect the compilation of Sikuquanshu.

Ji Xiaolan was busy smoking. Just halfway through, he heard the cry of "Long live Grandpa". He quickly stuffed the pipe into the trunk and knelt down to greet Grandpa. After getting up, he felt a burning pain in his ankle, but the emperor was talking and it was difficult to interrupt. He had to bite his teeth and his legs trembled with pain. Seeing his anxious face, Gan Long was surprised and asked, "Ji Aiqing, what's the matter?" "I ... I lost my boots ... I was on fire." It's all vibrato.

Gan Long hurriedly waved, "Get out!" Ji Xiaolan hurried to the outside of the temple, sat on the stone steps with dignity and suddenly took off his shoes and socks. A puff of black smoke immediately appeared in the boot barrel, and a large piece of meat on his feet was burnt. Emperor Qianlong came out and saw that the pot was still smoking in the boot, and people bent over with laughter for a while. After a while, Ji Xiaolan became the real "Tie Guai Li".

Ji Xiaolan was only popular in the dynasty, and his colleagues visited him more often during his rest at home. Seeing that he was still holding a big pipe, he advised him, "Since you have suffered a lot, why not quit?" "Gentlemen, I am tired, but I don't know that I am deeply profitable! When grasping the tube every day, taking a few sips will feel like a spring. Without it, my thoughts will dry up and I will feel lonely. " Ji Xiaolan talked about the benefits of smoking and had a rather grand theory. "I am addicted to swallowing. If those who are obsessed with fashion want to show elegance, I won't."

Six, Ji Xiaolan and the old eunuch.

An old eunuch saw Ji Xiaolan wearing a fur coat and holding a fan in his hand in winter, which was very interesting. 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? "

Seven, banquet gambling contract

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.

Eight, Ji Xiaolan's title 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. So I asked him again, "What are you going to do if the doctor pesters me again and insists on matching a couplet?"

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" (nameless refers to poor medical skills in the first couplet, the rich man refers to patients who borrowed medical treatment, and therefore "is in the second couplet). It is also a seven-character couplet. The first part is a ready-made sentence in Du Fu's "Chedian" poem: "The new ghost is crying there with the old ghost", and the second part is a ready-made sentence in Li Shangyin's "Ma Wei" poem: "He is indefinite for life."

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.

Nine, clever use of words to explain praise and blame

Ji Xiaolan often exposed the shortcomings of small Shenyang in front of the emperor, which made small Shenyang very embarrassed. Gan Long is also interested in favoring small Shenyang, always looking for opportunities to play tricks on Ji Xiaolan. One day, when Qianlong was reviewing the paper, he suddenly found a paper written by Ji Xiaolan. According to the paper, Ji Xiaolan's statement about his leniency to the people is to buy people's hearts and win their reputation. It is not as good as the harsh laws of Shenyang, which is beneficial to the country and can be called the minister in charge of the world. Watch, dry long shine at the moment, thought, I came to Ji Xiaolan, Doby, to see how he decomposed.

The next morning, the emperor left Ji Xiaolan and Xiao Shenyang, friends, as soon as the political affairs were dispersed. He first said to him, "Hey, you talk about how treacherous and greedy you are every day, how his ministers hold grudges, how they dare to be angry and dare not speak, and how the world is said to be killable. But look at this paper. Some people say that Xiao Shenyang is a minister who has the ability to manage the world, while Ji Xiaolan just wants a hollow reputation. "

Ji Xiaolan took the letter and put it on the dragon case with his eyes. Little Shenyang quickly grasped it in his hand and gloated while watching it. "Ji Xiaolan, do you have anything to say?" Gan Long deliberately shook the mountain.

Little Shenyang laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not as good as the letter says, but I'm just doing my duty and doing my best for the emperor. As for Ji Xiaolan, hee hee, although it is not a good thing, it is not a heinous crime. I think the emperor was merciful and saved his life. It is expected that he can't turn the boat over with a small loach, so he was dismissed for the benefit of the people. "

Ji Xiaolan said with a smile, "Report to your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Go ahead!" Gan Long painted his face black.

"Although I am a fool, I also know everything in the world, which is very complicated. We can't generalize. It is not surprising that some people call adults competent ministers and denigrate them. For example, spring rain is like oil, farmers like to be wet, and travelers hate its muddy roads; Moonlight is bright, beautiful people like its Shu Lang, while thieves hate its light. God is not satisfied, let alone a minister. As for the ability to make peace with adults, I also understand why. Manure stinks, but its quality can be fertile; Although the tortoise is ugly, meat can prolong life. "

Hearing this, Shenyang naturally gnashed his teeth and stamped his foot, pointing to Ji Xiaolan's nose: "You, you, you-"Qianlong laughed and thought, although this Ji Xiaolan has sharp words, his explanation and argument are appropriate, and his examples are appropriate. They have always been quick-witted, so they quickly rounded up: "Two Ai Qing, stop it. You are all my ministers. I need you and him. I hope you can join hands to protect Daqing. "

Ten, Ming Ji lament

Shen Shi, with clear pronunciation and mellow voice, has been pondering since childhood. This Gusu woman who is determined to "be a housewife rather than a noble family" got her wish and became a concubine in Ji Xiaolan. Her name is as beautiful as jade, and she is probably the best among the wives and concubines in Ji Xiaolan. Unfortunately, at the age of 30, she was summoned by the Yan Army prematurely, leaving Ji Xiaolan with the sadness of "sweet soul returning under the moon". Her name is far less resounding than the couplet she left behind, which was once baffled.

It was a summer day, and she pasted the window with a thin summer cloth similar to tulle. Sunlight shines through the horizontal and vertical window lattice, which naturally brightens up every lattice. Occasionally, she said, "Xia Bu put up the windows, and all the squares were bright." The sentence is cleverly inlaid with Zhuge Liang and Kong Ming, and "Ge" is homophonic with "Ge". If you understand them, they are naturally interesting and can be described as ingenious and ingenious. No wonder Ji Xiaolan, the tumbler on Manchester United's altar, was frightened.

Scholars of later generations have a strong interest in this, one after another, eager to try, it seems that they can make a bottom line, and then they can surpass the bachelor. Someone simply dragged Ji Xiaolan into the couplet and said, "The mountain god looks up to the sky, and Shi Yun shines." It's a homonym, it's a night horn. Looking at the sky, I saw the clouds around the rocks stirring the fog on the mountain after the rain. United with Ji Xiaolan, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han and the co-organizer of Qing Dynasty, were equal.

Eleven, the monarch and his subjects went to Jiangnan.

From Kangxi to Qianlong, it was the heyday of the whole Qing Dynasty, which was called the prosperous time of Kanggan in history. In his sixty years in office, Qianlong not only ruled the country well, but also mastered everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be said that Qianlong has a busy life and a fascinating life. It is no accident that Ji Xiaolan stood out among many talents in the Qing Dynasty. Only at that time, with such an emperor, could a figure like Ji Xiaolan be created.

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.

The monarch and his party crossed the Yangtze River, and nature changed into a new world, changing the vast and rugged face of Jiangbei, with beautiful mountains and rivers 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 lotus reflecting the sun and green leaves covering the sky. 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 wore 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 tease 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. Hong Xiaolan's reply was not only neat, but also compared Xiao Shenyang to an overbearing crab, which implied irony. 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 by saying that "the Constitution was written in December and the year is spring, summer, autumn and winter".
