Chapter 499 500【Number One in the World】
"Woman?!" When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she suddenly became excited and quickly said to Lao Cai, "You won''t tell her that Mr. Ji is not at home?"
"I said it all, but she also said that she has something to do with Mr. Ji and won''t leave until she sees him." Lao Cai explained.
When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she couldn''t help but get angry, "Humph, I want to see who is so shameless and shameless as to come to pester Mr.
?She walked to the door angrily and opened it, only to see Xiang Yun, whom she had seen during the day, standing outside the door.
“Hey, it’s you?!” Du Xiaoyue was surprised.
“Girl, it’s you!” Xiangyun was also surprised to see Du Xiaoyue.
“Miss Xiangyun, are you here to take back the painting?” Du Xiaoyue then asked.
"No, I''m here to see Mr. Ji." Xiangyun shook her head and said, "Girl, can you let me in to talk?"
Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Okay, come in."
Xiangyun then stepped in and said, "Girl, you are from the Ji Mansion. Are you Mrs. Ji?"
Xiaoyue felt happy, "Not yet," she waved her hands, and added in her mind, "It will be soon."
“I am a friend of Mr. Ji, my name is Du Xiaoyue.” She introduced herself again, “Come, please sit down. Myolie, let’s have some tea.”
“Miss Xiangyun, what do you want from Mr. Ji?” Du Xiaoyue asked curiously.
"It''s like this. I know that Mr. Ji is a book lover. I have a book in my hand that I hope to dedicate to Mr. Ji." Xiangyun explained, "The sketch of Qinxilan is also for him."
"It turns out that the character is pronounced ''xi'', a sketch of Qin Xi Lan, what a beautiful name." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "It turns out that the girl wants to donate books, but our husband is still working on books in Siku Library, and it will probably be very late. return."
"Then please ask Miss Xiaoyue to forward it to me." Xiangyun thought for a moment and said, "If Mr. Ji thinks my book is good, please ask him to come to Huangye Village in Xiangshan to find me again."
“Okay, I will definitely do it.” Du Xiaoyue nodded.
"Then I''ll take my leave first." Xiangyun immediately stood up and left.
…
At around nine o''clock in the evening, Xiang Nan returned home from Siku Hall.
He is now responsible for editing Sikuquanshu. To be honest, it is really a hard job.
When revising books, I have to satisfy not only the emperor, the scholars, but also future generations, so the pressure is quite high.
?Coupled with the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, there are millions of volumes of books of all kinds. It is naturally not an easy task to compile them all.
How to classify, how to proofread, and how to make choices is a big question. Fortunately, Ji Xiaolan has real talent and knowledge, and Xiang Nan is also a well-known journalist, so this work can be done in an orderly manner.
Through book repair, Xiang Nan also came across many lost and banned books, many of which contained obscene words and pornographic songs, such as "The Little Nun Descends the Mountain", "Lantern Music", "Female Lovesickness", and "Ten Beautiful Pictures" ”, “Phoenix Formation” and so on.
?These books are mostly banned outside and difficult to see, but they are abundant in Siku Library. According to Guo Degang, it is [looking critically], so Xiang Nan had an eye-opening experience.
?In addition, when he was compiling Sikuquanshu, he also tried to add many new books that he knew about astronomy, architecture, mathematics, agriculture and forestry, chemistry, physics, etc. There are many people from all over the country in Siku Hall. Many people have studied knowledge for many years and are leaders in their respective fields at that time.
For example, the well-known mathematician Ming Antu once proposed nine basic equations and had unique insights into the analysis of trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions; he pioneered the method of finding the circumference of an ellipse by cutting circles; he was the first to discover Kata Lan number; the mathematical methods he pioneered have played a positive role in astronomical reasoning, geographical surveying and mapping and other fields.
It can be said that Ming An Tu’s mathematical level was top-notch even in the world at that time. In Siku Pavilion, it is naturally the best.
?However, Ming''an Tu''s mathematical level is roughly equivalent to that of a high school student.
Therefore, when Xiang Nan wrote "Calculus", "Analytical Geometry", "Linear Algebra" and other advanced mathematics subjects, the mathematicians in Siku Hall all admired him.
? And Xiang Nan’s talents in the fields of architecture, agriculture, forestry, astronomy, physics, etc. are admired by everyone in these fields.
It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in military affairs. Xiang Nan was originally hailed as the most talented man in the world, but many people were still unconvinced.
?However, as Xiang Nan showed more and more talents, these people had to admire that Xiang Nan was indeed a genius with extraordinary talents, and they became more and more convinced of his title as the most talented person in the world.
…
As soon as Xiang Nan returned home and sat down, Du Xiaoyue walked in with a smile and said, "Sir, you must have worked hard today to study your books."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded. Although he was well-read and had a strong memory and was in the prime of life, reading a book for a day was quite tiring.
"Sir, I will give you a good book. I guarantee that you will feel refreshed immediately after reading it." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"What kind of good book has such a great effect? ??Bring it to me and have a look." Xiang Nan asked curiously.
?Du Xiaoyue then handed over the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan took it and took a look. He was stunned at first, then surprised, and then smiled.
??He read the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" when he was in high school. To be honest, after watching it at the time, I didn’t think it was that good. I just envy Jia Baoyu''s wealthy and luxurious life, and lament the end of the Jia family''s final confiscation and annihilation.
After growing up, broadening his knowledge and gaining life experience, Xiang Nan discovered the greatness of this book when he read "Dream of Red Mansions" again.
Leave aside its stories, thoughts, and connotations, just talk about its first 80 chapters and only 610,000 words. It has created nearly a thousand characters with names and surnames, flesh and blood, different personalities, and distinctive characteristics.
Compared with today''s million-word online articles, it is not easy to write a character well.
?It is a pity that only the first eighty chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" were written by Cao Xueqin, and the last forty chapters were continued by Gao E. Although Gao E''s sequel is already outstanding among many sequels to "A Dream of Red Mansions".
?However, compared with the first 80 chapters written by Cao Xueqin, there is still a big gap between the 40 chapters written by Gao E. Moreover, Gao E''s version also conflicts with Cao Xueqin''s original intention.
?According to Cao Xueqin''s original intention, the Jia family should be completely finished, just like a bird that has eaten all its food and throws it into the forest, leaving a white and clean land. There is no way that Shengjun will be revived again.
So Xiang Nan actually feels quite sad that he has not watched the last 40 chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Now that he had the opportunity to see it, he was naturally happy.
?However, he also understood that the book "Dream of Red Mansions" was a trap dug for him by He Shen and Fu Kang''an. Once he gets his hands on this book, he will have to spend another two days in jail.
“Hey, for the sake of "Dream of Red Mansions", I have to suffer a lot." Xiang Nan thought to himself.
