Chapter 377 Master and apprentice in the flower boat
Xia Shang laughed lightly, but said nothing. He only said: "No one in the world has seen Cao Xueqin. If I say you are Cao Xueqin, you are Cao Xueqin. And how many people who write books in this world will show their true names to others? This Cao Xueqin is actually Cao Xueqin. Even if your real name is not Cao Xueqin, no one will doubt you."
"Master, but this Mr. Cao is obviously a man, and my daughter's family..."
"Who says that Cao Xueqin must be a man? I have already said that no one in the world has seen Cao Xueqin, but is there even a few words in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" that mention whether the author is a man or a woman? Those who think that Mr. Cao is a man are just idiots in the world. The reverie. And the name Cao Xueqin also has a feminine charm, so what does that mean?"
"But……"
"It's nothing. I have already asked for this invitation, and I wanted to go there in Cao Xueqin's place. Now that you need this opportunity, I will give you Cao Xueqin's name. You don't have to worry, I will act quickly and carefully, Cao Xueqin Your name is a trump card in my hand. I will not take risks easily if I am not completely sure. Today you go back to Hero Manor with me. I still have many things to explain to you. I will use your protection tomorrow I will always be by your side, and even if you encounter something that you can't handle, I will always help you behind your back."
If you are still reluctant after the first meeting, firstly, you are unsure and afraid of making a mistake. Secondly, you also respect Mr. Cao from the bottom of his heart. The person who can write "A Dream of Red Mansions" can be said to be unrivaled in talent and learning, both ancient and modern. , but you want to pretend to be someone else, which can be described as a great offense.
But Xia Shang's tone was not one of discussion. It seemed that everything had been arranged and Ruo Chujian was not given a chance to express his opinions, which seemed a bit overbearing. This was quite different from Xia Shang's previous behavior.
But if we first met, the question we were most concerned about was, is the young master Mr. Cao?
Listening to what the young master said before, it seems like he barely acknowledged it.
But it’s hard to believe that all the sentimental characters in the book could have been written by someone as decisive as Young Master?
When I first saw him, I didn't think about it, but Xia Shang had already sent him to the carriage returning to Hero Village.
…
It is raining heavily. The water surface of the Grand Canal under the Lianli Bridge is dim. Several fragments of fishing boats are disappearing into the distance with the current. A flower boat parked by the river is swaying in the wind and rain. It was originally colorful and red. The beautiful flower boat looks sickly even in the rain.
There was a person on the parapet on the second floor of the flower boat. He was wearing black clothes that were still wet with rain and dew. His face was hanging by his ears without putting it on. He was looking at a carriage in front of the door on the opposite bank.
"Xian'er."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
The woman in black in front looked back and her eyes changed slightly: "Master... Master... why are you here?"
This woman in black was Luo Xian'er, and she seemed a little unnatural when she saw the master who suddenly appeared.
Xian'er's master's name is Luo Yanran, known as the Jade-faced Fox in the world. She is a notorious witch who is best at seducing. In the early years, various sects in the world fought for her, causing a bloody storm. But later, inexplicably, He disappeared and became one of the leaders of the White Clothes Sect. His own kung fu was only one step away from Dzogchen. He was an extremely dangerous person.
Few people know her true face, and they all think she is a charming and charming beauty, but in fact she is a serious and indifferent middle-aged woman.
Different from Luo Xian'er's embarrassment, Luo Yanran was dressed in a beautiful palace attire, pacing gracefully, and her beauty despite her coldness was surprising.
But Luo Yanran appeared unexpectedly, leaving Xianer at a loss.
Seeing that Xian'er was in a mess and didn't even take off her night clothes, Luo Yanran frowned: "What? It's a very bad time for Master to show up now?"
"No... Xian'er doesn't mean that."
"Then what are you doing here? Still wearing night clothes?"
"Disciple has something to do."
"What's up?"
"Regarding the crossbows of the Red Flower Society, last time the leader asked Xian'er to investigate the crossbows of the Honghua Society. Xian'er already has an idea, and now is the most critical time."
"It's been a long time since the crossbow matter, and it's not a difficult matter. Based on my understanding of you, you should have already completed it."
"Master..." Xian'er's eyes dodge a little, "This matter is a bit tricky. Xian'er underestimated the people of the Red Flower Club, so the mission was delayed a bit. But it doesn't matter, after today, the matter about the crossbow will be solved by Xian'er."
I must explain this to my master and leader."
"Really?" Luo Huajin asked lightly, looking Xian'er up and down, "Luo Xian'er, you have been with Master for eighteen years, and Master has watched you grow up day by day. What are you thinking?
Master, I know very well what methods you have. In the past, you always obeyed Master's instructions, but in the past half year or so, since you were left alone, Master has felt that your thoughts have become more and more wild.
"
Xian'er looked horrified: "Master! Xian'er doesn't have the slightest bit of..."
"Well, I don't mean to blame you as a teacher. Everyone will grow up, have their own thoughts, and choose their own path. This is something that no one can control. You have your own ideas and plans as a teacher.
It's all up to you. But one thing you have to understand is that you have to distinguish right from wrong on any issue related to the interests of the Holy Religion. If you make a mistake, it will be difficult for you even as a teacher to protect you."
"Xian'er...Xian'er understands."
"Do you really understand?"
"Master, what exactly do you mean?"
"I heard someone say that on the night of the operation, you grabbed something and then left."
Hearing this, Xian'er's face changed drastically: "Master, why did you say this! This is nothing! If Xian'er got something, how could he not teach it to Master? Someone must be trying to frame Xian'er."
"Xian'er, have you forgotten who master is? It is impossible for anyone to deceive. If the news had not been credible, my master would have asked you personally?" Yue Huajin said, walking to Xian'er
In front of him, he gently patted Xian'er's shoulder and said, "Xian'er, my teacher must listen to the truth. After all, you are my teacher's daughter, and I will never see anything happen to you, so only my teacher knows about this matter."
.If you recruit it from the truth, I can let the past go. If not, you understand my master's heart-stealing technique."
Xian'er's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Master makes atonement, Xian'er does have something to hide."
"Is what you have been busy with these days for the treasure that will determine the world?"
"Master clearly noticed that Xian'er did go for the treasure. But it was definitely not to keep it for himself. It was just that after getting the treasure that day, he accidentally lost it." (To be continued)
