Chapter 13: Vintage and Apples
"What a sunny afternoon!" Lin Yi deliberately said a word of nonsense out loud. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 🔥 Why is it nonsense? Because everyone knows that today is a sunny day, and not only today, but every day is a sunny day, and the sun is so bright that all the people of the whole Ming Dynasty have a shadow in their hearts. In fact, since Xiao Mu came to the Ming Dynasty, every day has been a completely sunny day, and he has never seen what a rainy day looks like.
Lin Yi said loudly and went outside the door at the same time, checked the surroundings of a door, went back to the room to look out the window, and then closed all the doors and windows, and then came back and sat down: "It's better to be careful before talking about these things, so that people can hear them, and make some unnecessary trouble." ”
Xiao Mu looked at Lin Ye's series of movements, and highly affirmed Lin Ye's cautious attitude: "It's still thoughtful, I didn't think to check it carefully." ”
"It shows that you have a lot of nerves." Lin Yi sarcastically said, "Say, what is there to share?" ”
Xiao Mu ignored Lin Yi's sarcasm, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Didn't the famous writer George Bernard Shaw say that you have an apple, I have an apple, and after the exchange, we still have an apple; But you have one thought, I have one thought, exchange with each other, and we each have two thoughts. Xiao Mu said as he took out two apples from the fruit bowl and compared them back and forth, "Let's take out all the historical information we know and sort it out and share it, so that we will each have two pieces of historical information." ”
"Well, I've heard your aphorisms too, and there's some truth to what you're saying." It turned out that George Bernard Shaw became Xiao Mu's family......
Lin Yi agreed with Xiao Mu's opinion, and then took the lead in entering the state: "Since this is the case, let's start with the simplest question, do you know when the Ming Dynasty fell in the original history?" ”
"Well, I only know that Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he was probably in his thirties when he committed suicide and martyrdom, as for the specific year, I can't be sure...... I thought you knew, I wanted to ask you to come, who would have thought you wouldn't know......" Xiao Mu spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't answer, and his face was full of regret.
"Don't look down on people, of course I know, just now I just tested you, about the simple question of when the Ming Dynasty fell, naturally I can't help it." Lin Yi had a disgusted expression, indicating that he was offended by the rudeness.
"Oh? You know? That's great, what year is it? Wait, I'm going to get a pen and paper and write it all down. Xiao Mu was very happy, and excitedly went to find a pen and paper to prepare for the record.
"I remember seeing the information before, which said that in 1644 A.D., Li Zicheng entered the capital, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and Wang Chengen ......followed him," Lin said.
"Well, I also know about Wang Chengen, otherwise I wouldn't have taken him out of the palace last time. I've been to the Jingshan Park north of the Forbidden City before, and there's a sign under a crooked-necked tree that reads, 'Ming Sizong Martyrdom'. By the way, isn't this the case with your Jingshan Park in 2333? Xiao Mu continued.
"Seriously, where are you going?" Lin Yi said angrily.
Xiao Mu felt reasonable, so he pulled the topic back again, "So how many years are there before the fall of the Ming Dynasty?" By the way, what year is this year, do you know? ”
"I don't know...... Lin Yi also spread his hands, "It's also simple, if you know how many years Chongzhen has been the emperor, you can naturally calculate it." ”
"Now the problem is that I don't know how many years he has been emperor." Xiao Mu sighed and expressed great regret.
At the beginning of the sharing of historical knowledge, the two encountered a dilemma, and only knowing that 1644 AD did not seem to help......
The room was suddenly filled with an awkward atmosphere, Xiao Mu held a brush in his hand, and drew circles behind the words "1644" on the paper......
"Your writing is a little too ugly." Lin Yi also seemed to feel the awkwardness of the atmosphere, so he changed the topic and discussed his calligraphy with Xiao Mu.
"Each other, it's not like I've never seen your calligraphy masterpiece, it's really a god-like form, flying and jumping, shocking the world and crying ghosts." Xiao Mu said angrily, then held the pen horizontally with his left hand, and wrote the word "apple" like a ghostly drawing, "Oh, it's like this." ”
I was able to find an opportunity to ridicule Lin Yi, and seeing Lin Ye's deflated expression, Xiao Mu felt very comfortable, and then added fuel to the fire, teasing: "The word is a good word, but I don't know what the meaning of the word 'apple' written by Concubine Ai is?" ”
Hearing Xiao Mu tease himself with the title of "concubine", Lin Ye was naturally very angry, and was about to attack to let Xiao Mu see the serious consequences of offending himself, but after hearing that Xiao Mu did not understand the meaning of the "apple" he wrote, Lin Ye laughed in his heart.
"You really don't know what that means?" Ringo asked.
"I really don't know, please teach Concubine Ai." Xiao Mu still thought he was in control of the situation at this time.
"Hahaha......" Lin Yi suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, he is an uneducated person, do you know what Lin Yi means?" ”
"Lin Yi is you, you are Lin Ye, if you want to say that the meaning is eighty percent of the meaning of a crazy woman, what is there to ask." Xiao Mu looked at Lin Yi, who was laughing, with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean by a crazy woman." Lin Ye was not angry at all, and continued: "Lin Ye is a name for apples in ancient times, and it is written in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". You don't even appreciate the good intentions of the "apple" I wrote in my letter. Hey, how can there be such an ignorant person as you in the world, my hard work has not played any role. It's so hard to communicate with people like you who don't know how to learn, God, come and save me. Ringo scoffed as he drew a cross on his chest and pretended to pray.
Xiao Mu realized that he was in a passive state again, and laughed at Lin Ye for not playing well, but was ridiculed by Lin Ye instead. So he said angrily: "Even if you don't know what Lin Yi means, just put the handwriting written by a cerebral thrombosis patient in that letter, and you know that it's you!" ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward again.
Lin Ye felt that the heat was almost over, and was about to explain to Xiao Mu why he wrote the word "apple", when Xiao Mu suddenly slapped the table and stood up, startling Lin Ye.
"Someone!" Xiao Mu shouted loudly.
After a while, Wang Chengen walked in from outside, knelt down and said, "Greetings to the emperor and Niangniang, what are the emperor's orders?" ”
"Send some men out to find some Westerners, the ones with crosses around their necks, and ask them, "What year is the birth of their Jesus Christ?" Xiao Mu commanded.
"Jesus Christ? Is this a person's name? Wang Chengen looked puzzled.
"Yes, if you tell them the name, they will understand." Xiao Mu replied.
"Slave and maid, then arrange someone to do it." Although Wang Chengen didn't know what Xiao Mu wanted to do when he inquired about this, he still immediately received the order, "Probably Long Live Lord and Niangniang accidentally talked about the topic of foreign religion." While thinking so, I had to go out to make arrangements.
At this time, Xiao Mu stopped him again: "Wait, I still have something to ask you." ”
"Hooray, Lord, please."
"I ask you, do you know what 'Ringo' is?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Long live the Lord is making fun of the slave again, Lin Yi is naturally this thing." Wang Chengen pointed to the apple that Xiao Mu used to take George Bernard Shaw as an example just now, and said, "Don't hide it from Long Live Lord, the slave maid also ate one this morning, and now that the weather is hot, this thing clears the heat and goes to the heat, Long Live Lord and Niangniang might as well eat one every day." ”
"Well, yes, go and do what I told you." Xiao Mu said with a blue face.
Wang Chengen was naturally puzzled, but he also noticed that Xiao Mu seemed to be in a bad mood, so he hurried out of the house to not cause trouble for his master.
Lin Yi choked enough on the side, and after Wang Chengen closed the door and walked away, he couldn't help laughing again.
After laughing for a long time, Lin Yi finally held back: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, we can know what year it is when they ask the results." Feeling that the joke was almost over, Lin Yi hurriedly praised Xiao Mu again, trying to comfort Xiao Mu's injured heart.
"Give you such a name, how much your parents love apples!" Xiao Mu complained quietly.
"My mom liked apples when she was pregnant with me, do you have a problem?"
"No comment, it's a good name!"
……
After Wang Chengen left Xiao Mu and Lin Yi, he found Yang Tao and Hu Yun and said to them, "There is a will. ”
The two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground to obey the order.
"The emperor has an order, quickly go to find the believers of the foreign religion, and ask them how old they are this year." Wang Chengen said.
"Inferior Command." Yang Tao and Hu Yun stood up in confusion, glanced at each other, and after exchanging a look, they found that the other party did not understand the will of the Long Live Lord.
Yang Tao said to Wang Chengen: "Princess, is this 'choking jealousy' a personal name? ”
"Exactly." Wang Chengen replied.
"Then I don't know who this 'choking jealousy' is, where should I go to find out?" Hu Yun asked again.
"We don't know who this 'choking jealousy' is, the emperor said, go to the person wearing the chain of a cross around his neck and ask, tell them this name, they will naturally know." Wang Chengen replied. "Let's go, the emperor and Niangniang are still waiting to hear the results, our family will go back to the Long Live Lord to wait first, maybe the Long Live Lord still needs our family to serve."
"My subordinates will go." When the two heard Wang Chengen say this, they immediately understood that the matter was urgent, so they didn't dare to delay, and quickly found their respective subordinates, Yang Tao instructed his subordinates: "The emperor has sent us an urgent errand, let's go out of the palace immediately, go to find someone with a chain around his neck, and ask how old he has lived to choke to death......
"May I ask my lord, is this 'choking jealousy' a personal name? But if you want me to go to the street and ask someone with a chain around his neck? One of his men asked.
"Yes, it's the name of the person, and if you tell them that name, they will understand what is going on. Why don't you rush to run an errand? The emperor and the mother are still waiting for the results. Hu Yun replied.
"Since this man choked to death, eighty percent won't live long......" Everyone muttered in their hearts while preparing their horses to go out on errands.
