Ye Linglong spontaneously changed her shoes as soon as she came in, and then walked into the living room in a familiar manner, and called Xiaohua in a familiar tone. Unfortunately, she called several times but could not call out the fat cat hiding in the study.
.
Ye Linglong didn't mind Xiaohua's indifference. She didn't come here to find it anyway. She sat down on the sofa and put the book on the coffee table: "The perfect jade returns to Zhao."
Shen Zizhuo then walked over, picked it up and flipped through two pages at random. He intuitively felt that the book did not look like someone had read it from beginning to end: "Have you finished reading it?"
"I've finished reading." Ye Linglong replied without feeling guilty at all.
Shen Zizhuo made a sound and made an unclear comment: "You read books very quickly."
"I have been a fast reader since I was a child. I can read ten lines at a glance." Ye Linglong was not lying, otherwise she would not have skipped a grade and entered Harvard.
"Do you remember one glance and ten lines?" Shen Zizhuo tricked her without leaving any trace.
Ye Linglong replied without any guilt: "Remember, my memory is very good. If you don't believe me, test me and see if I can answer it."
This was exactly what Shen Zizhuo wanted, so he asked a question: "Which emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Qianlong?"
At first glance, Ye Linglong didn't have an answer to this question in her mind. She had only been watching TV series recently, and there was no such answer on TV, but she held her nerve and counted up carefully.
The Princess of Pearls plays the story of Qianlong's illegitimate daughter, the story of Yongzheng's wives played by Zhen Huan, the story of Kangxi's sons played by Emperor Kangxi, the story of Shunzhi who loves beauties but not the country, played by Concubine Dong E, and the story of Xiaozhuang's Secret History.
Huang Taiji’s wife cuckolded him, and Nurhachi’s story of the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty conquering the country on horseback.
Well, looking at it this way, among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi was the only one who did anything practical. The other emperors either had illegitimate daughters or wives, and none of them was a serious emperor.
It seems a bit biased to say this. After all, the emperors were creating gaps between having illegitimate daughters and constantly marrying wives, and they also did not lack governance.
That's too far.
Ye Linglong quickly pulled back her thoughts, and after counting, she replied: "The sixth one. The ones above are Yongzheng, Kangxi, Shunzhi, Huang Taiji and Nurhaci."
Look, she will answer quickly.
Shen Zizhuo nodded and then asked: "What period was the United States in the Qianlong period?"
Ye Linglong:......
What? When asking about the history of the Qing Dynasty, just ask about the history of the Qing Dynasty. Why does it involve the United States? How does she know who was the president of the United States when Qianlong was emperor.
"Your question is over the top." Ye Linglong responded quickly, pointing at the book in his hand and complaining: "It's not written in the book."
"It's not written." Shen Zizhuo admitted, but changed the subject: "But the purpose of reading is not to memorize by rote, but to learn to draw inferences from one example to another. The Qianlong reign was from 1736 to 1795, which was when Washington established the United States."
Ye Linglong:......
She was a little unconvinced: "Ask another question."
"Vietnam during the Qing Dynasty was not called Vietnam, but Nanyue. It was later changed to Vietnam because which emperor deserved it?" Shen Zizhuo asked the third question.
Ye Linglong:......
This question is also out of scope, and it’s not even shown in the TV series.
"Kangxi." Forget it, just make a nonsense. It seems that Emperor Kangxi was very awesome. He asked Vietnam to change its name, so Vietnam wouldn't dare not change it.
"Wrong, it's Jiaqing. Nanyue is homophonic to Nanyue. Emperor Jiaqing thought it was unlucky and ordered it to be renamed Vietnam." Shen Zizhuo gave the correct answer.
Ye Linglong was a little confused. Which emperor was Jiaqing? She racked her brains to think about it, and then suddenly remembered: "Oh, I know this emperor, he was born to your concubine."
"I also know your concubine." Shen Zizhuo's words were obviously meant to tease her.
Ye Linglong frowned: "Of course, don't always ask me about the emperor. You ask about the emperor's wife."
"Okay." Shen Zizhuo agreed, and asked a casual question: "How many wives did Qianlong have?"
Ye Linglong was dumbfounded. Qianlong's passionate wife didn't want too many wives. How could she know how many of them she had? She couldn't even count them. Which concubine did this concubine belong to? Isn't this making things difficult for others?
"This is too difficult. Who knows how many wives he has from Sangong and Sixth Courtyard?" Ye Linglong asked unconvinced, "You can count them all."
Although she didn't read the book, she also knew that it was impossible to record every wife of Qianlong in the book, so the book would have to be at least twice as thick.
"There are only two in total. Counting the posthumous titles, there are only three. There are too many to count." Shen Zizhuo said.
"Impossible." Ye Linglong retorted resolutely: "Qianlong Guang had more than a dozen sons and several daughters. Could three women have given birth to so many children? He would have needed at least ten or eight wives.
"
Shen Zizhuo glanced at her sideways: "Pay attention to the question, I'm asking about my wife."
"I know, isn't a wife just a wife?" Ye Linglong was not deaf, she heard clearly.
"Wife is just a modern title. In ancient times, it was called wife. Only those who are married by a matchmaker and have three letters and six betrothals can be called wives. If you don't understand, you can simply understand that the queen is the emperor's wife, and other concubines can only be called concubines.
"During Qianlong's reign, he appointed two empresses. After Jiaqing ascended the throne, he posthumously named his biological mother the late emperor's empress." Shen Zizhuo patiently explained to her.
Ye Linglong:......
I was confused when I heard it, but I roughly understood that the wife is the queen, the queen is the eldest wife, the concubine is the concubine, and the concubine is the little wife.
"Talking about words." Ye Linglong whispered.
The questions asked here are either out of line or unpopular. If such a test paper is given to students for examination, are you sure they won't get beaten?
But she didn't know that college students in the history department didn't have to answer questions like this. This was a piece of cake only for high school students.
Shen Zizhuo had an idea after taking the exam for three questions. Ye Linglong probably flipped through the book a little bit, but he definitely didn't read it carefully. He didn't bother to expose her, so he put down the book and ended the Q&A.
Ye Linglong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't test her again. If she continued to take the test, she would have to expose her secrets. This is not a problem. You can't ask about Qianlong's illegitimate daughter, Yongzheng's eldest wife and little wife. It's no use asking.
It’s okay to ask Dayu’er and Dorgon about the secrets they have to tell.
She had been watching the Qing palace drama for several days in vain.
"The book is returned, do you have anything else?" Seeing her sitting still, Shen Zizhuo began to issue an order to expel the guest.
Of course Ye Linglong was in trouble. She coughed twice: "Well, I also want to remind Teacher Shen that you have an elective class tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes, I remember." Shen Zizhuo nodded.
"Have you finished your project? Do you want help?" Ye Linglong asked again.
"No, it's already done." Shen Zizhuo replied.
Ye Linglong:......
Can't you stay with me for a meal?
Really Mo's friend.
But Ye Linglong is not an invincible person. She always likes to take the initiative. Even if Shen Zizhuo doesn't let her eat, she can shamelessly do it.
"Ahem, I wonder what Teacher Shen will have for dinner?"
After asking this question, she saw an unknown smile flashing across Shen Zizhuo's eyes, as if he had known that she would ask this question, and then he deliberately didn't catch it, just waiting for her to lose her composure and ask it herself.
.
The originally shameless Ye Linglong never knew what shyness was, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pursue Shen Zizhuo, but when Shen Zizhuo looked at her with such a meaningless look, her shyness, which was more than twenty years late, was revealed to her.
When I came out, it seemed that the roots of my ears were a little red.
