With the popularity of TV series, the name Ji Xiaolan has become almost a household name. The story of Emperor Qianlong's many trips to the south of the Yangtze River has produced various versions. Let's talk about some interesting things that happened when Ji Xiaolan and Qianlong went to Jiangnan.
Long went to Jiangnan many times in his life. The real meaning of going to Jiangnan is not only to visit some people and experience it on the spot, but also to visit the mountains and rivers. Therefore, among the squire officials, literati such as Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong, and Yuan Mei were always willing to entertain themselves. Every time they went to Jiangnan, they could leave some interesting stories for future generations. It turns out that this year, Emperor Qianlong was bored living in the palace and wanted to go out for a walk, so he decided to go to Jiangnan again. Also accompanying him were Ji Xiaolan, Yuan Mei, Xiao Shenyang and others.
After walking out of the Forbidden City and giving up the complicated affairs in the palace, I immediately felt refreshed and extremely comfortable. It won't take long before it reaches Tongzhou. When you look at the curtains of the car, pedestrians are walking in and out carefree. Tongzhou Road is a busy scene. I immediately became excited, called him into the sedan chair, and said, Ji, Tongzhou is the first post station in Jingmen, and it is a lively place. You know there is also Tongzhou in Jiangsu, which is also an important transportation artery. It's really Nantongzhou, North Tongzhou, North and South Tongzhou connecting north and south.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan knew that Qianlong had made a recharge call accidentally, and he wanted to make a bottom-up call himself. Just after leaving Beijing, Tang was not used to the emperor's elegance. However, the first half is smart, but the second half is difficult to get right. Ji Xiaolan looked around and saw many pawn shops. He came up with an idea and said hooray, look at the east and west sides of this road. Both the East Pawn Shop and the West Pawn Shop are used to pawn things.
After hearing this, Long said, Ji really deserves his reputation. This couplet is natural. Then the monarch and his entourage abandoned the ship and walked south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal with great interest. When you come to the boundary of Cangzhou, you can see a temple on the east bank of the canal, with cornices and brackets, pavilions and pavilions, which is majestic. Long said, Ji, I am in your hometown of Cangzhou. What kind of temple is this so magnificent?
Ji Xiaolan immediately replied: Long live my report! This is Shuiyue Temple, a famous temple in Cangzhou. Long said, Shuiyue Temple, okay! Ji Aiqing, I have a couplet. Why don't you come? Ji Xiaolan said, I ask the emperor to give me an alliance! Long Yin said that fish and rabbits were swimming in Shuiyue Temple. This couplet may seem ordinary, but it is actually uniquely crafted. There are fish in the water and a rabbit in the moon. The moon reflects the water and the rabbit moves with the fish. It is also a local scenery, a ready-made scene.
After hearing this, Ji Xiaolan thought for a while, and then said: Tiger attack Shanhaiguan. Facing Shuiyue Temple in Shanhaiguan, the tiger leaps, the dragon flies, the fish and the rabbit move. Moreover, there are tigers in the mountains and dragons in the sea. Shanhaiguan itself is surrounded by mountains and sea, echoing from top to bottom, which is natural and appropriate. Qianlong clapped his hands after hearing this. Jun and his party crossed the Yangtze River, which naturally changed the world and the vast and rough appearance of Jiangbei. Everywhere you go, you will find beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery.
At this time, Yuan Mei, a great talent from the south of the Yangtze River, stood up and said, Long live, our south is rich in mountains and rivers and full of talents. Long agreed. Ji Xiaolan stepped forward and said: Master Yuan, although there are mountains, rivers and talents in your south, there is a saint in our north. After hearing this, Long said, "Ji is too good. If she wins, stop joking." After saying that, the three people smiled and continued moving forward. It can be seen that Ji Xiaolan was indeed a courtier with quick thinking and outstanding eloquence, and was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong.
