Chapter 500 501【Who wins and who loses】
Xiang Nan immediately flipped through the book.
To be honest, after reading this book again after many years, he has gained a lot of insights.
Especially with Ji Xiaolan's talent, learning and experience, he can better understand the world and people in the book, and can better understand the subtleties of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
"Sir, how is this book written?" Du Xiaoyue asked with a smile seeing that Xiang Nan was fascinated by it.
"This book is very well written." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile, "It can be called the most amazing book in ancient and modern times!"
"That's great, sir, tell me quickly." Du Xiaoyue hurriedly urged after hearing this.
"Hey, you can't read or listen to this book!" Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Why is that?" Du Xiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "Sir, this must not be that kind of bad book!"
Although she usually doesn't like reading, she has also heard that there are books full of obscenity and robbery, which are obscene, dirty and shameless.
"Where did you think, sir, how can I be that kind of person." Xiang Nan Dayi said solemnly, "The reason why I don't let you read this book is because I know it is a counter-book.
Recently, Fukang'an is investigating the case closely. Anyone who hides, reads, circulates, copies, engraves, prints, sells or sells "Dream of Red Mansions" will be thrown into prison.
Many bookstore owners and Tibetan readers have been arrested, so I don’t want you to be implicated. "
"Ah, no way?! It's just reading a book, how can there be such a big crime?" Du Xiaoyue asked in surprise.
"It sounds unreasonable, but this is the practice of this dynasty." Xiang Nan sighed, "The literary inquisition is flourishing in this dynasty, and just one poem or article will be copied and executed by everyone.
The reason why the four girls assassinated the king was because their father was killed in the literary inquisition, and their mother hanged herself, so that their family was ruined and their families were destroyed. That's why they hated the emperor so much. "
"So that's how it is, it's terrifying." Du Xiaoyue said in surprise, "In this way, sir, didn't the man who gave you this book just want to harm you?"
"Who is sending the book?" Xiang Nan asked, "Who's the name, and where does he live?"
Du Xiaoyue then told her acquaintance with Xiangyun and the process of Xiangyun sending the book, "Oh, I understand now, no wonder the officers and soldiers wanted to chase her, it turned out that it was because she had hidden the anti-book."
"Well, you're not stupid." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Hmph, she is so hateful! I saved her with good intentions, but she actually repays her kindness with revenge!" Du Xiaoyue said angrily, "Next time I see her again, I will never forgive her."
"Okay, don't be angry. Bring the brazier~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Bring her painting by the way."
Du Xiaoyue nodded, and then brought the brazier and paintings.
Xiang Nan then ignited the manuscripts and paintings on candles, threw them into the brazier, and burned them all.
He knew that these manuscripts and paintings were all copied by Xiangyun himself, and they were not original manuscripts, so they were not important. And staying in thatched cottage is the root of disaster, it would be better to set it on fire.
"By the way, sir, she said that she lives in Huangye Village, Xiangshan, why don't we catch her tomorrow." Du Xiaoyue looked at these harmful books and burned them all, and suddenly felt relieved, "Ask her face to face. Clearly, why did she want to harm you!"
"Hey, since she intends to harm me, how could she tell you the real address." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "According to my estimation, it's either a fake address or a trap."
"It makes sense." Du Xiaoyue nodded.
…
He is writing "Gewu" these days, which is to introduce the basic knowledge of physics. Such as mechanics, optics, magnetism, heat and so on.
Although Xiang Nan knew that after completing the task, he would leave this world. And whether the world will continue to run, he doesn't know.
But he still wants to do his part to leave more knowledge to the world and this country. Perhaps by learning his knowledge, future generations will be able to broaden their horizons, develop innovations, make achievements in the field of science and technology, and perhaps avoid a century of humiliation.
No matter how bad it is, when we sort out these ancient books in the future, future generations will know that the Chinese have achieved world-leading achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology and many other fields as early as the eighteenth century. That's an honor too.
…
While Xiang Nan was writing a book in Sikuguan, Du Xiaoyue came to Huangye Village in Xiangshan.
She wanted to see what kind of trap that Xiangyun had set here.
After she came to Huangye Village, she quickly found Xiangyun's residence by asking the woodcutter.
However, she didn't break in immediately. Instead, she flew onto the big tree by the side of the house and looked down from the heights to inquire about the movement in the yard.
And seeing this, she was startled.
She saw groups of officers and soldiers ambushing in the yards around Xiangyun's house, and the leader, she could see clearly, was Fukang'an.
"It's dangerous! Fortunately, Mr. is clever and saw through their plot in time. Otherwise, if you come to Xiangshan rashly, you will be caught in a trap." Du Xiaoyue said in fear, and then jumped off the tree and fled the place quickly.
…
In the evening, Xiang Nan returned home.
Du Xiaoyue told Xiang Nan what she had seen and heard in Xiangshan.
"Mr. Ji, fortunately, you are smart and saw through their plot in time. Otherwise, you would have been caught by Fu Kang'an." She said happily.
Xiang Nan nodded, "So Xiaoyue remember, you have to be more careful in everything you do in the future. I always fight against He Shen and Fu Kang'an in Chaoshang, and they will do everything they can to get rid of me." , always thinking of digging holes for me.
You are the person next to me. If they can't win me, they might start with you, so you must be careful. "
"Yes, sir. This time it was Xiaoyue who was careless and almost harmed the husband." Xiaoyue nodded and said.
…
At the same time, Hefu.
Fu Kang'an was also complaining to Heshen, "My lord, I led my people to stay in Huangye Village for a day, but I didn't see Ji Xiaolan taking the bait. Has he already heard the news?"
"It's hard to say. Ji Xiaolan is extremely smart, and has always been cautious. He is not fooled, and I am not surprised at all." He Shen waved his hands.
"Then what should we do? Could it be that this game of chess is for nothing?" Fu Kang'an said quite angrily when he heard this.
He managed to think of a way to deal with Xiang Nan, but the other party refused to take the bait, which really made him angry!
"Don't worry, bro, this game of chess has just started, and we don't know who will win." He Shen waved his hand and smiled.
"My lord, do you have any future recruits?" Fukang'an asked for advice when he heard this.
"Ji Xiaolan is known as a romantic talent, and she loves books like her life. If Xiangyun came to ask for help, with her beauty, her status as Cao Xueqin's dying maid, and the full copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" in her hand, it is impossible for Ji Xiaolan not to be fooled. .” He Shen pointed out.
"Oh!" Fukan'an's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile.
