Chapter 501 502【Strange injustice in the world】
Two days later, Xiang Nan was admiring chrysanthemums in the garden with Du Xiaoyue and Xing''er.
The so-called fish tank and pomegranate tree on the ceiling is also a rare pleasure for Mr. Fat Dog and Fat Girl.
At this moment, Lao Cai came over and said, "Sir, there is a girl named Xiangyun outside the door looking for you."
"Ah?! She still dares to come? I''ll beat her away to see if she dares to harm others!" When Du Xiaoyue heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and she said fiercely.
"Xiaoyue, don''t be impulsive yet." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Old Cai, please invite her in."
“Sir, you know she’s harming you, why do you still want to see her?” Du Xiaoyue asked in confusion.
"Hey, you can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can''t escape the fifteenth grade." Xiang Nan explained, "It''s just like if you are competing with others and just avoid it, you can only passively get beaten. Only by using tricks at your fingertips can you turn defeat into victory."
Upon hearing this, Du Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
…
While speaking, Lao Cai had already invited Xiangyun over.
When Xiang Nan saw her, she was indeed beautiful, and her character was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just like the frost and autumn chrysanthemum, proud and brave in the wind.
“Little girl Xiangyun pays homage to Mr. Ji.” Xiangyun stepped forward and saluted.
"Hmph, you still dare to come! Do you know that you almost put my husband in jail? Fortunately, he is smart and saw through your trick! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you." Du Xiaoyue scolded.
"Xiaoyue, please don''t be rude~" Xiang Nan waved his hand to her, then smiled and said to Xiangyun, "Miss Xiangyun, please get up."
"Mr. Ji, Xiangyun didn''t mean to harm you." Xiangyun stood up and apologized, "Xiangyun just hopes that Mr. Ji can save "Dream of Red Mansions"."
"The girl is talking about the fact that "Dream of Red Mansions" has been declared a counter-book. I hope I can help vindicate it?" Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
"Mr. Ji is really smart as ice and snow, yes, that''s what Xiangyun meant." Xiangyun immediately admired Xiang Nan when he saw what he said.
"Who is Miss Xiangyun? Why do you want to vindicate "Dream of Red Mansions" regardless of your wealth or life?" Xiang Nan asked knowingly.
"Xiangyun is Mr. Xueqin''s maid. When Mr. Xueqin passed away, he specially gave me the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions"." Xiangyun explained, "Mr. Cao also said that if there was someone in the world who could make "Dream of Red Mansions" published all over the world, This person must be Ji Xiaolan."
"Thanks to Mr. Xueqin''s trust, Ji is ashamed." Xiang Nan nodded, "But this matter is quite difficult. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is the emperor''s official anti-book. The emperor''s golden words, once spoken, are hard to follow. If you want to It is not easy for the emperor to change his words. "
"Sir, you have read "A Dream of Red Mansions". What do you think of it? Is it really an anti-book?" Xiangyun asked.
"Of course not. This book can be called the most wonderful book in ancient and modern times, and Ji loves it endlessly." Xiang Nan gave a thumbs up and praised, "It is rated as an anti-book and the most unjust case in the world."
"Since you know this, why don''t you help "A Dream of Red Mansions" be rehabilitated? Could it be that you just watch such a good book being destroyed?" Xiangyun said plausibly.
"Hey, didn''t you listen to what my husband said just now? This book is against the emperor''s order. The emperor personally ordered it, so what can my husband do?" Du Xiaoyue saw her aggressiveness and couldn''t help scolding her again.
"Everyone knows that Mr. Ji is the emperor''s most valued minister. Can''t he say something to the emperor?" Xiangyun continued to ask.
"Miss Xiangyun is totally wrong. The emperor''s most valued ministers are Heshen and Fukangan. One of them is in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of financial power; the other is in charge of the Ministry of War, and is in charge of military power. I, Ji Xiaolan, can''t do anything. As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, how much power does he have?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Also, do you know why "Dream of Red Mansions" was designated as a counter-book?
“Why?” Xiangyun asked doubtfully.
"It''s because of the false accusations made by He Shen and Fu Kang''an." Xiang Nan told Xiang Yun about He Shen and Fu Kang''an''s false accusations. "The two of them made false accusations first, which already made the emperor disgusted with "Dream of Red Mansions".
??Ji Ji, an unfavored minister, wanted to vindicate "A Dream of Red Mansions", so he had to fight with two favorite ministers and the emperor. Does Miss Xiangyun still think this is easy? "
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Xiangyun finally understood the difficulty of this matter.
?Originally, she didn''t understand government affairs and thought that since Xiang Nan was the emperor''s favorite, it wouldn''t be difficult to give a fair response to "A Dream of Red Mansions", it was just a matter of saying a few words. Now she knew that this was not a matter of words. If things went wrong, Xiang Nan would be beheaded.
"In this case, Xiangyun doesn''t dare to force Mr. Xiangyun anymore." Xiangyun nodded, "Xiangyun said goodbye."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
…
"Miss Xiangyun stayed. Ji only said that it was difficult, but she didn''t say that she couldn''t do it." When Xiang Nan saw it, he smiled and tried to persuade her to stay.
"Do you want to put forward any conditions, sir?" Upon hearing this, Xiangyun turned around, looked at Xiang Nan, and asked doubtfully.
She has asked for help before. Even if that person can do it, he will still use pretentiousness and blackmail. Today, Xiang Nan''s performance is exactly the same.
"Miss Xiangyun has misunderstood. Ji has nothing to ask for. I just want you to understand how difficult this matter is. Don''t take chances and act blindly." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Although we have just met for the first time, I can tell. , Miss is a very passionate person. Your deep feelings for "Dream of Red Mansions" are not fake.
But the more you love "Dream of Red Mansions", the more careful you have to be. Now not only the imperial court is searching for "A Dream of Red Mansions", but booksellers, collectors, and even people with ulterior motives also want to get this book.
?Since the girl is Mr. Xueqin’s dying maid, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you. But the girl took no precautions and showed her face in broad daylight, just like a child walking around in a busy city holding gold, which inevitably attracted people''s covetous attention.
What Ji said came from the bottom of his heart. I hope the girl will think twice. "
Xiangyun couldn''t help but be stunned when he heard what he said, and then bowed deeply to Xiang Nan, "I''m sorry, sir, Xiangyun misunderstood you. Sir, Xiangyun is so righteous, but Xiangyun is ashamed."
“It doesn’t have to be like this.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, “Miss Xiangyun, Ji has another suggestion that I hope she will consider.
?Girl is now being hunted by the government, which shows that your identity has been exposed, and the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is no longer safe in your hands. Once the government gets hold of these manuscripts, they will definitely burn them. By then, Mr. Xueqin’s legacy will be gone.
So Ji hopes that you will leave the manuscript to me for safekeeping, and I will hide it in Sikuquan Library. The collection of books in the library is rich and vast, and the important place of the imperial court is tightly guarded, making it difficult for young people to break into it.
It is said that water is hidden in the sea, and trees are hidden in the forest. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is hidden among them to ensure peace. Although Ji cannot help him counter the case for the time being, as long as this book can be saved, Ji believes that it will one day be published in the world to fulfill Mr. Xueqin’s last wish. "
"Sir, you are indeed very witty." Xiangyun nodded and said, "I listen to Mr. Ji."
"In this case, it''s not too late. We should act as soon as possible to avoid long nights and many dreams." Xiang Nan nodded.
