Chapter 499 500 [No. 1 in the world]
"Woman?!" Du Xiaoyue was a little excited when she heard it, and hurriedly said to Lao Cai, "Won't you tell her that Mr. Ji is not at home?"
"I said everything, but she also said, I have something to do with Mr. Ji, and I won't leave until I see him." Lao Cai explained.
When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, "Hmph, I'm going to see who is so shameless, come to pester Mr.
She walked to the door angrily, and opened the door, only to see Xiang Yun, whom she had seen during the day, standing outside the door at the moment.
"Huh, it's you?!" Du Xiaoyue was surprised for a while.
"Girl, it's you!" Xiang Yun was 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 his head and said, "Miss, can you let me in to talk?"
Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Okay, come in."
Xiang Yun walked in immediately, "Girl, you are from Ji Mansion. Are you Mrs. Ji?"
Xiaoyue was overjoyed, "Not yet," she waved her hand, and added in her heart, "It will be soon."
"I'm Mr. Ji's friend, 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 our Mr. Ji?" Du Xiaoyue asked curiously again.
"It's like this. I know that Mr. Ji is a book lover. I have a book in my hand, and I hope to dedicate it to Mr. Ji." Xiangyun explained, "And the blue sketch of Qinxi is also for him."
"It turns out that the word reads 'Xi', Qinxi Orchid Sketch, what a beautiful name." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "So the girl wanted to donate a book, but our husband is still working on the book in the Siku library, and it will probably be very late. return."
"Then ask Miss Xiaoyue to pass it on to me." Xiangyun thought for a while and said, "If Mr. Ji thinks my book is good, please 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." Xiang Yun immediately got up and left.
…
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xiang Nan returned home from the Siku Pavilion.
He is now in charge of editing Sikuquanshu. To be honest, it is really hard work.
The revision of the book must satisfy the emperor, scholars, and future generations, so the pressure is still quite high.
In addition to the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, there are more than tens of millions of volumes of various books. It is naturally not an easy task to compile and organize them all.
How to classify, how to proofread, how to choose, is a university question. Fortunately, Ji Xiaolan has real talents and knowledge, and Xiang Nan is also well-versed, so this work is done in an orderly manner.
And through book revision, Xiang Nan also saw many lost and banned books, many of which were obscene words and pornographic songs, such as "Little Nun Going Down the Mountain", "Flower Lantern Music", "Woman's Lovesickness", "Ten Beautiful Pictures", etc. ", "Phoenix Array" and so on.
In addition, when compiling the Siku Quanshu, he also tried to add many new books he knew about astronomy, architecture, mathematics, agriculture and forestry, chemistry, physics, etc.
In the Siku Pavilion, there are many people from all over the country. Many people have studied knowledge for many years and were the best in their respective fields at that time.
For example, Ming Antu, a well-known mathematician, once proposed nine basic equations, and has unique insights in the analysis of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions; he created the method of circumcision to find the circumference of an ellipse; he was the first to discover Kata Lan Shu; the mathematical method he pioneered has played an active role in the fields of astronomical reasoning, geographical surveying and mapping.
It can be said that Ming Antu's mathematics level was top-notch even in the world at that time. Naturally, it is first-class in the Siku Pavilion.
However, Ming Antu's mathematics level is roughly equivalent to the level of high school students in today's analogy.
So when Xiang Nan wrote advanced mathematics subjects such as "Calculus", "Analytic Geometry", and "Linear Algebra", the mathematicians in the Siku library all admired him.
Xiang Nan's talents in architecture, agriculture, forestry, astronomy, physics and other fields are also admired by everyone in these fields.
The so-called literary no first, military no second. Originally, Xiang Nan was hailed as the world's most talented person, but many people were still not convinced.
However, as Xiang Nan showed more and more talents, these people also had to admire that Xiang Nan was indeed a genius and extraordinary talent, and they became more and more convinced of his title of the world's number one genius.
…
As soon as Xiang Nan returned home and sat down, Du Xiaoyue walked in with a smile, "Sir, you have worked hard writing books today."
"A little bit." Xiang Nan nodded. Although he was well-read and memorized, he was in the prime of life, but reading books for a day was hard enough to be honest.
"Sir, I will give you a good book. I guarantee that you will feel refreshed immediately after reading it." Du Xiaoyue smiled.
"What a good book, it has such a great effect, let me 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 a look, first he was taken aback, then surprised, and then smiled.
"Dream of Red Mansions" is a novel he read when he was in high school. To be honest, after watching it at the time, I didn't think it was very good. I just envy Jia Baoyu's rich and luxurious life, and lament the ending of the Jia family's family raiding and extermination.
After growing up, having broadened his knowledge and gained life experience, Xiang Nan discovered the greatness of this book after reading "Dream of Red Mansions".
Don't talk about its stories, ideas, and connotations, but just talk about the first 80 chapters, only 610,000 words, and it has created nearly a thousand characters with names and surnames, flesh and blood, with different personalities and distinctive characteristics.
In comparison, it is not easy to write a character well in today's million-word web texts.
It's a pity that only the first 80 chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" were written by Cao Xueqin, and the last 40 chapters were continued by Gao E. Although Gao E's sequel, among the many sequels of "Dream of Red Mansions", it is already considered outstanding.
However, compared with the first 80 chapters written by Cao Xueqin, Gao E’s 40th chapters are still far behind. Moreover, Gao E's continuation of the version also conflicts with Cao Xueqin's original intention.
According to Cao Xueqin's original intention, Jia's family should be completely finished, as if eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, leaving a white and clean land. There will be no chance of receiving Shengjun again and reviving.
So Xiang Nan is actually quite emotional that he hasn't watched "Dream of Red Mansions" forty times. Now that he has the opportunity to see it, he is naturally happy.
However, he also understands that He Shen and Fu Kang'an dug a trap for him in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". Once he touches this book, he will have to go to jail for another two days.
"Hey, for the sake of "Dream of Red Mansions", just feel wronged." Xiang Nan thought.
