【Shang Shufang】

Ji Xiaolan was already waiting at the door, waiting for the emperor and the brothers.

"Respectfully, please ask the emperor to be in good faith."

"Xiaolan doesn't need to be polite. Little Swallow, come and see Master Ji, Master Ji is very knowledgeable and talented. I think your name of 'Huanzhu Gege' is due to him. From now on, I will rely on him as your mentor. You have to learn from him. ”

"It is an honor for the minister to be able to lecture and read for Gege in the future. Ministers should do their best. ”

"Master Ji, it's easy to say." Little Swallow hugged his fist and saluted.

Ji Xiaolan almost didn't react, and nodded in surprise.

"Master Ji, Benjamin also came to listen. No matter how busy the affairs of the Ruyi Pavilion are, I can't bear Master Ji's class. ”

"Hahaha, Benjamin really worked hard to learn Chinese, little swallow, don't lose to Benjamin." Don't look at him as a foreigner, but he knows a lot about Chinese culture. The emperor said.

The emperor's praise made Xiaoyanzi feel awkward, she glared at Benjamin and said unconvinced; "How could I lose to him?"

"Okay, let's start class."

"Your Majesty, Gege, please."

After all the Agogeges were seated, Ji Xiaolan began the assessment of Xiaoyanzi.

"Today is the first time that Zhu Gege has entered school, Chen thought, you might as well put aside those thick and heavy books and do something light and interesting, what does Gege think?"

"Oops, I'm going to be tested." Xiaoyanzi thought to herself, and then secretly turned her head, looking at Chaoyu, Yongqi, and Ertai.

"Then the minister will come out with some pairs."

"Pair?"

"Don't be afraid, it's just two words, it's not difficult."

Little Swallow nodded, and then secretly looked at Chaoyu and them. Chaoyu winked and motioned for Little Swallow to listen to her answer later.

This is, there was a bell in the distance, and Ji Xiaolan had an idea: "Okay, the opponent of the minister is the bell and drum." ”

Little Swallow looked at Yongqi. Yongqi covered her mouth and said softly; "Gong cymbals."

Little Swallow was confused: "Radish? ”

"Huh?" Ji Xiaolan thought she had misheard.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

"Back to the master, the little swallow is talking about gongs and cymbals, gongs are gongs of gongs, and cymbals are cymbals of cymbals. Wouldn't bells and drums be wonderful against gongs and cymbals? Yongqi rescued the little swallow.

"What the fifth elder brother said is. Okay, Nachen has another pair, satin. Gege please, right. ”

The little swallow looked at Ertai again. Ertai coughed and whispered, "Luo Bo." ”

"Turnips?" Little Swallow tentatively did.

"Hahahaha, hahaha." This time, everyone laughed even harder.

"Huh? How is it a turnip again? Ji Xiaolan was puzzled.

"Master, what Xiaoyanzi said this time is the Luo of Ayaluo, the silk is the silk of cloth, and the silk is the Luo silk, why can't it?" Ertai explained.

"It seems that Gege will only be right, not right." Ji Xiaolan shook her head: "There is 'Chen' and no 'statement'." Then I'll start the third pair, Yue Fei. Gege please, right. ”

"Turnips!" This time, Little Swallow is very determined.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed so hard that everyone turned their backs. Chaoyu and Yongqiertai were helpless.

Ji Xiaolan walked to Yongqi and Ertai's side. "Fifth Elder Brother, Ertai, do you still have a solution?"

Yongqi and Ertai began to scratch their ears and cheeks.

"Master Ji, this little swallow is talking about the Luo of Luo, the anchorage. There was a descendant of Luo Cheng in the Tang Dynasty, named Luo Bo, who was a famous filial son. Yue Fei to Luo Bo, loyal ministers to filial sons, isn't it a wonderful union? Chaoyu hurriedly stood up.

"Hahaha, good! Well solved, Chaoyu, you deserve to be my favorite Gege. Xiaolan, Xiaoyanzi is surrounded by masters, it seems that you have to put a little more effort into it. Yongqi Chaoyu, a few of you are also a little more restrained, and you are not really helping Xiaoyanzi. ”

"Gege, I wonder if you have any research on the 'Four Great Talents?' ”

"The 'Four Great Talents', yes, people!"

"Of course it's people, yes, what people." Ji Xiaolan was a little embarrassed.

"Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu." Chaoyu took advantage of the emperor's lack of attention and began to remind Xiaoyanzi.

"Sugar gourd!" Little Swallow cried out in surprise.

"Hahahaha!" Now, everyone laughed even louder.

"Huh?" The emperor put on a face, and the little brothers immediately stopped, but they still couldn't hold back and laughed secretly.

"Xiaolan, don't ask about these 'four talents'. You have ten days to figure out who said the four talents. ”

"Huh? Emperor Amma, ten days. "Little Swallow is very aggrieved.

"No bargaining, just ten days."

"Eh, okay, let's put down these 'four talents' for the time being. Let's talk about the Four Books and the Five Classics. I don't know how much Gege knows about the Four Books and the Five Classics. As soon as Xiaoyanzi sat down, Ji Xiaolan threw her another question.

"Forty-five pounds, it depends on what it is, everything is different. This has to be calculated: "The little swallow doesn't seem to be stumped."

Yongqi and Ertai were relieved to see that Xiaoyanzi could cope with it.

"Calculation, how to calculate, everything is different, it is natural, but what is the difference."

"Ha, forty-five pounds, it depends on what you're going to buy. For example, 45 catties of rice is 150 yuan, and soybeans are 45 catties, which is another price. Forty-five pounds of firewood is the cheapest, and forty-five pounds of millet I don't quite remember. Ah, forty-five pounds of barley, this has to be counted. Little Swallow said and gestured with his hands.

"Hahahaha!" This time, Chaoyu and they couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Ahem." The emperor coughed twice, and everyone stopped laughing. "Xiaolan, don't take the test for the common sense of Chinese studies, change the topic, hurry up and change the topic, otherwise my eyes will fall out." The emperor whispered next to Ji Xiaolan.

"Okay, okay, let's play another word game. We use vagueness, clarity, ease and ease, and it is rare to compose a poem. Gege, please. ”

"Ahh Little Swallow took away the book that was used to cover her face. "I ......"

"I'll demonstrate it." Yongqi stood up. "The fog in the sky is blurry, the dew on the grass is clear, the fog turns into dew easily, and the dew turns into fog."

The emperor applauded with satisfaction.

Yongqi motioned to Chaoyu and asked her to demonstrate to Xiaoyanzi.

Chaoyu immediately stood up. "Then, I'll take the girl's home-made female red as an example. The thread threads the needle and the eye is blurred, and the embroidery on the cloth is clear. Embroidery is easy to change threads, and thread changes to embroidery is rare and rare. ”

"Good!" The emperor looked at Chao Yu and smiled dotingly.

Chao Yu saw that Xiaoyanzi was indifferent, and looked at Ertai again. Ertai also stood up: "Then I will also give an example of Huanzhu Gege." The inkstone grinding ink is blurry, and the writing on the paper is clear. It is easy to change words in ink, but it is rare to change words into ink. ”

Both the emperor and Master Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"I, I really want to do it, but I can't do it. Haven't you laughed enough? ”

"Gege, it's okay to try. It's a really, easy, easy question. ”

"Okay, then I'll write four sentences as well. Walking into the classroom is vague, and walking out of the classroom is clear. It's easy for the master to test me, and it's rare for me to answer the master! ”

"Hahahaha!" This time, Ji Xiaolan also leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, "The meaning is there, and the words are used." There is progress, there is progress. ”

The emperor smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

Ban Jie gave a thumbs up to the little swallow in the Ming Dynasty.

"Alas, Xiaolan, Xiaolan, I see that you are in the biggest trouble."

"Alas, yes, yes, *annoying, *annoying."

After the course, several elder brothers, brothers, and sons, foreigners got together to chat again.

"Hahaha, little swallow, those three radishes of yours just scared me out of a cold sweat." Yongqi said.

"Haha, the second sound, how can it be soft. You'll have to think about it before you find out. Ertai agreed.

"It's all you who hurt me, how can they both be turnips! I was also puzzled, but I couldn't think of anything else, so I had to say it. ”

"Today's class is the most exciting class I have ever taken in Chinese. It was so funny, just holding back my laughter, and it made my stomach hurt. Benjamin said.

"You still think it's funny, ten days, I want to figure out the 'four talents' in ten days."

"Today, you're the most showy." Benjamin said.

"Really?"

"That's right, Benjamin is right, even Huang Ama was robbed of the limelight by you today. As for Master Ji, he usually corrects us, how can we fix him, and there is still the sentence 'It is easy for the master to test me, and it is rare for me to answer the master.'" That's what we say. Chaoyu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, don't you see his unspeakable appearance of suffering? As for the four books and the five classics, well, to calculate, each one is different, rice, barley firewood, soybeans. Hahaha" Ertai learned to look like a little swallow.

"Gege ......"

"Eh, turtledove, you fouled, haha." Before Benjamin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Little Swallow.

Chaoyu and Ertai glanced at each other. "Turtledove, Benjamin, you've changed your name."

"No, no, only the little swallow calls me turtledove."

Yongqi's heart was a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, he's a turtledove who can't flip heels." Little Swallow said deliberately.

"Little Swallow, I'm a little curious about you, why are you all about food in your head?" Benjamin immediately changed the subject.

"Eh, yes, don't mention the 'radish', but that Tang Bohu, why is it a 'sugar gourd'." The fifth elder brother took over.

"You are all people who live in the palace, and you have what you want. I didn't eat or drink when I was a child, and when I saw others eating sugar gourds, I didn't, and I thought about it all day long. Who would think about learning the 'Four Great Talents' and 'Forty-five Pounds' when they are starving. Little Swallow said very flatly.

"I didn't expect you to come to life like this. We really don't know about the suffering of the people. "Chaoyu looked at the slightly sad little swallow, and felt really uncomfortable." But those hard days are over. ”

"But a new hard day is coming." Little Swallow cried with a sad face.

"How so, we've solved your problem, haven't we?" Ertai said.

"But, who are the 'Four Great Talents'? What the hell is 'forty-five pounds'? The little swallow was so angry that she danced.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I teach you. Yongqi said with a smile.

"It just so happens that I also learn a little bit along with it, and I know a little bit about this 'forty-five pounds'. But I really don't know about the 'Four Great Talents'. Benjamin said.

【Sofang Zhai】

Everyone came to Shufangzhai. As soon as he sat down, Mingyue Caixia and the four eunuchs all greeted him.

Benjamin pulled out his album and prepared to paint.

Mingyue Caixia served tea to everyone, and the four eunuchs pushed and shoved and didn't know what to do.

"The four great talents refer to the four celebrities of the Ming Dynasty. Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing. The fifth elder brother took a sip of tea, and then explained to Xiaoyanzi.

"Tang Bohu's real name is Tang Yin, and he is known as the first genius in Jiangnan, alias Liuru layman." Ertai said.

At this time, Xiaoyanzi was already yawning. Benjamin captured her expression at this moment and drew her.

"Zhu Zhishan is a calligrapher, he was born different, his right hand, one more finger than others." Chao Yu continued.

At this time, Xiaoyanzi seemed to have some interest. "One more finger."

"Yes, so, he gave himself another name, called Zhizhisheng."

"Squeak, what a squeak, wouldn't it be nice to just call one more finger. Literati, that's how they love to be weird. Do we have to know what those four people do? What's the benefit of knowing it? They don't live with us, so what does it matter if they have one finger more and one finger less? The little swallow snorted.

Ertai sighed. "This is common sense of Chinese culture. Each of us should know the history and people of our country. ”

"I don't know, I'm not going to live to be eighteen!" Little Swallow was a little unconvinced. "In my house, not only do I not know about it......" Xiaoyanzi looked at the four eunuchs, who nodded embarrassedly. Small stools, small tables, small mosquitoes, small insects. ”

"The minions are here!"

"Foul foul, deduct your monthly salary!"

The little eunuchs slapped themselves in the face with remorse. "Gege, spare us one more time, don't dare next time."

"That's the name of the four of them, little stools, little tables, little mosquitoes, little bugs. It's about the same as the yellow, green and blue of our Ruyi Pavilion. My master couldn't figure out this or that, so he named them by three names. My master has been in the palace for forty years, and the little eunuchs have changed for several generations, all of them are yellow, green and blue. Benjamin was surprised by the name of the eunuch of Shufangzhai.

Little Swallow patted her head. "Hahaha, I know what the 'Four Talents' are!"

"You know, we're not done yet." Yongqi said.

Chaoyu and Ertai were also puzzled.

"It's the four of them, our 'four talents' in Shufangzhai! You see. Little Swallow walked up to the four eunuchs. They usually always say 'the slave is here, the slave is what, the slave is guilty', and in addition, there is a sub-word in their name. Therefore, just take a talent word and a sub-word, and add it together to be 'talent'. Haha, in the future, if I shout 'Four Great Talents' in Shufangzhai, you will all come in. If I call for a small table and a small stool, you are not allowed to say that the 'minion' is there, but that the 'genius' is there, you know? ”

"Ah, slave, slave......" The little table almost slipped his tongue, and the little stool slapped him hard. Gege, can you really call it that? ”

"This is an order, you must say it in the future, otherwise you will be fired." Little Swallow pretended to be angry. "Little mosquito!"

"Slave ......" Because of habit, the little mosquito almost blurted out, and the little insect hit him. Stupid and waiting, the talent is here. ”

"What do you mean, stupid?" Benjamin asked.

"Yes, I also want to know, last time in Yanxi Palace, the little mosquito also said this, stupid wait." Chaoyu said.

"It's 'stupid' is the mantra of the little mosquito." The little stool explained.

"He's just a mantra." Little Swallow said. "Little bugs!"

"The talented man is also there, anyway, this 'genius' is much better than the little bug."

"Bright Moon and Colorful Xia!"

"The slave is here."

"Foul foul foul, what are you two going to call it?" Little Swallow crossed her waist and thought. "Yes, in the future, you two will be the two beauties of our Shufangzhai. If I call you, don't say 'slaves' are there, but 'beautiful women' are there." ”

"Ah, that's not good, slave, alas, don't dare." Mingyue said.

"I don't dare." Caixia said.

"Don't you dare, alas, then I have to leave Shufangzhai and go to work in other palaces."

"Two beautiful women obey orders." Mingyue Caixia hurriedly responded.

"Hahaha." Chaoyu and they were amused again.

"The six of you, do you know who the four great talents are?" Little Swallow said solemnly.

"You know." Little Swallow was surprised. "Who?"

"It's just the four of us!"

"The two beauties also know that it's the four of them!"

"Hahahaha, hahaha." Everyone couldn't stop laughing.

"Little Swallow Gege, I serve you." Benjamin smiled and stood up.

"You just laugh and laugh, you don't even know that they are really geniuses. The little stool is our literary genius, and he knows what "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Small table, kung fu genius, Shaolin faction, Wudang faction, Emei faction, he has learned them all. Little bug, he is our zoological genius, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, pigs can't bother him with anything. Little mosquito, come on, come on, come on, he's our mantra genius, he knows all the mantras. And our two beauties. Mingyue is our temperament beauty, Caixia is our gentle beauty. ”

"Hahaha, disrespectful and disrespectful, I really didn't expect you to be a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, everyone is an expert." Ertai said.

"Of course. Talented and beautiful women remember your new identity, now, go out and get busy. ”

"Wow."

"What you say makes sense, people have knowledge for a lifetime, and no learning is also a life. But people who have studied rarely let their children come to the palace to be servants and maids. Even if they are poor, they will have their own principles. Those who have studied will not go to the palace to become eunuchs, and knowledge gives them the opportunity to choose. Yongqi said.

"Are you saying that if you study, you won't be poor or hungry?"

"Many people who read have been poor all their lives. But living poorly, spiritually rich. Chaoyu said.

"I don't understand." Little Swallow shook her head.

"It's just that reading makes people happy."

Little Swallow was surprised. "Ah, I won't, I still practice kung fu, and it's happier to do tricks."

"That's because, you don't find the fun in books, you see Benjamin, he goes to Master Ji's class every time because he is interested. You'll be interested, too, as long as you're willing to learn. Yongqi said patiently.

I understand, you just let me figure out who the four talents are, alas, okay, okay, I'll just learn. O you who are provincial, say that I am not as good as a turtledove.

Benjamin smiled and froze. "Yongqi is really willing to be attentive to Little Swallow." He thought to himself.
