Nine rings, the legend originates from ancient Chinese traditional folk. One says it was invented in the Warring States period, and the other says it was invented in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, it can be confirmed that the record of the Nine Rings is in Yang Shen's "Dan Lead General Record" in the Ming Dynasty, which is not earlier than Europe.

Regardless of when the Nine Rings were invented, it became popular in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, from scholars to peddlers and pawns, everyone loved to play "Nine Links".

It is precisely because Xu Qilin did not discover this intellectual toy during the time he traveled, and he didn't know if he asked others, so he made Sister Bo happy.

talked about the gameplay of the Nine Rings in detail, Xu Hui's IQ is extremely high, and he took it and fiddled with it twice, although it was not the correct way, but he also knew how to play.

Xu Qilin smiled again and showed the two-wheeled empty bamboo in his hand to his sister, then put it on the ground, picked up the small stick and rope, and slowly shook it.

As the empty bamboo turned faster and faster, the six whistles around the disc made a buzzing sound, louder and louder, high-pitched and majestic.

Xu Hui clapped his hands and laughed, and chanted: "The musician blows the flute without a trace, and the elf coil silk flies." Why did Xiaozhu become a big tool, and fitness and entertainment gathered popularity. I didn't expect the little brother to shake the bell, it's fun, it's good-looking. ”

In ancient times, the empty bamboo was called "Hu knocking", also called "ground bell", "empty bell", "wind gourd". Shaking the empty bamboo is also known as "shaking hum", "shaking the ground bell", "pulling the bell". Xu Hui chanted, but it was Cao Zhi's "Empty Bamboo Fu".

The buzzing sound also attracted the three little babies who were playing in the inner room, and Jinyang, Xiaoqi, and Xiaozhao all ran out to watch.

Xu Qilin deliberately flaunted, and came to two fancy moves, and it was just these two times.

"It's fun, it's fun." Princess Jinyang clapped her hands and smiled happily.

The little princess smiled crisply, the child's voice was loud, and the little fat hand was also clapped happily.

Xiao Zhao had seen it, so he laughed with him and joined in the fun.

Xu Qilin finished playing and closing the style, and let out a long breath, the appearance of the grandmaster, waved to the three little girls of Jinyang, Xincheng, and Xiaozhao very gracefully.

Xu Hui covered her mouth with a smile and said, "If you give it to me, it is better to give it to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Why, just made this one? ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "The little brother made three, and the weight is different. If Her Royal Highness the Princess likes it, she will take it to play. Moreover, this shaking bell, practiced regularly, can not only strengthen the body, but also have a lot of fun. ”

Glancing at Princess Jinyang, Xu Qilin felt pity for this little girl who only lived to be twelve years old in history, and continued: "Especially Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, if you can exercise regularly and moderately, your weak physique can gradually become stronger. As the saying goes: physical health and illness will disappear by itself. That is to say, treatment is not as good as prevention, and medicine is not as good as exercise. ”

Shaking the empty bamboo has long been a plaything in the court, and in ancient times, young women playing with empty bamboo were regarded as elegant acts, and Xu Hui did not resist this.

"Her Royal Highness Princess—" Xu Hui had just signaled, and Princess Jinyang had already run to the box and stretched out her hand to choose.

"I, I want it too." Xiao Mi stretched out her little hand, moved her little short legs, and hurried over, and the palace maid hurriedly covered it, for fear of falling.

Xu Hui smiled, turned to Xu Qilin and said, "Little brother has a heart." The matter of preparing for a thousand cows - I thought about it, but I didn't think it was appropriate, so I gave up. ”

"Thank you, sister." Xu Qilin was relieved and bowed down.

Xu Hui waved his hand and said, "Go back and study hard, and make a name for yourself with your talents." As for the great cause of being promoted to the rank of official, well, I don't think it's the right way, so don't waste time. ”

Don't, I'm just pointing to this! Why study hard, so you don't want to learn those useless things!

Xu Qilin opened his mouth, and felt that he had achieved his goal today, and it would be too late to talk about anything else in the future, so he stopped arguing.

But when he borrowed books, Xu Hui did not refuse, and asked the chamberlain to take the list of books listed by Xu Qilin to the pavilion to find it.

"I haven't seen you for nearly a month, and I don't know if you're lazy or not, whether your studies are wasted, so my sister will take advantage of today's exam." Xu Hui felt that this kind of time should not be wasted, and looked at the little brother with a smile, "It's not difficult for you to make a long speech, so I will make a poem that suits the occasion and listen to it." ”

Xu Qilin immediately had a bitter face, but when he saw that the old lady instructed the palace maid to take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and put the bookcase on the couch, this is going to be true!

Xu Hui did not stare at the candidates aggressively like the invigilators of later generations, but walked to the window and fiddled with the nine rings, which can be regarded as giving Xu Qilin a more relaxed examination environment.

The key is that Xu Qilin is the only candidate, and there is nowhere to copy if he wants to.

Appropriate for the occasion, appropriate for the occasion!

Xu Qilin first scratched his ears and cheeks, and then took a brush and bit the bamboo pole, showing signs of turning into a panda.

If you want to talk about plagiarism, of course, Xu Qilin can come up with a lot of poems from later generations, but if you want to meet the situation, you can't write it scribble.

It's early summer, or daytime, and if you come to a "bright moonlight in front of the window", or "thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting" or something, that's not the right way!

You really don't laugh at Xu Qilin, if it's you, who studied science and engineering, and suddenly asked you to write a poem that suits the situation, ordinary people really have to ponder.

Xu Qilin habitually wanted to turn the pen, but when he saw that the pen had been dipped in ink, it was full of dark spots, and he could only force himself to hold himself.

Grinning and looking around, Xu Qilin searched in his mind for the poems he remembered while observing.

The doors and windows of the temple were open, and the view was not obstructed much.

Xu Qilin saw the fenced flower garden outside, the flowers and plants were bright, and several colorful flowers were very eye-catching; The sky is blue, there is no air pollution, and there should be no holes in the ozone layer; Two or three white clouds sparsely reflected against the blue curtain......

His eyes moved slowly, and the figure of the old lady appeared in Xu Qilin's sight.

Dressed in a gorgeously colored dress, the palace bun is towering, the body is graceful, and he stands slim in front of the window. The early summer sunlight shines through the window lattice, reflecting the light and shadow, like a fairy.

Pregnant! Xu Qilin held the pen in his hand, bowed his head and wrote on the paper, and a poem was quickly written. But when he wanted to put pen to paper again, he hesitated, and his mind spun rapidly, hesitating between changing and not changing.

Yun wants to wear clothes and flowers, it must be a well-known famous sentence, change the object of praise, and say that Xu Hui's clothes and appearance are beautiful, there is nothing wrong.

But in the next sentence, when the spring breeze blows Revlon, there is a problem. It's summer, where is the spring breeze?

Change to heater? Inappropriate! Breeze.......

Xu Qilin was frowning and thinking hard, Xiao Zhao walked to his side, stretched out his hand to pull the corner of his clothes, looked up and said with a little face: "Second brother, Her Royal Highness the princess likes rag dolls, can I give it to her?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled, touched his sister's head, and said, "Okay, I'll make it for you when I get home." ”

Xiao Zhao laughed, stretched out two fingers first, hesitated, and changed it to three, "Do three, Her Royal Highness and I will have it." ”
