"Of course it is to prove the identity of the young master? Otherwise, how will the little girl know whether what the young master said is true or false?"
"What else do you need to prove? I am Shi Changzai, the son of the Minister of Rites. Who in the capital doesn't know? Do you need to prove this? What a joke!"
"Since the young master said so, why do you need the little girl to prove whether she is Cao Xueqin? There are many people in the world who believe that the little girl is Cao Xueqin, so why bother to prove it?"
"This...but there are also many people in the world who express doubts."
"Everything in the world has some people who believe it, and some people doubt it. How can you make everyone believe it in your conduct? Just do it with a clear conscience. As for those who don't believe it, just let them not believe it."
"..." Shi Chang was at a loss for words.
Someone below listened and praised: "Although this girl I first met was born in a brothel, I didn't expect to be an open-minded and unrestrained person. It is rare among women. She is indeed an extraordinary girl."
"I said, Shi Changzai, your question is too boring, isn't it? This is a question that cannot be ignored, but you use it to make things difficult for a girl you just met. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"What did you say? Say it again?" Shi Changzai was furious and shouted at the person beside him.
There were also many people standing on Ruo Chuqian's side in this building, so another person spoke up: "Shi Changzai, I think you are also a veteran who has been in love with the land of wind and moon for a long time. Naturally, you know how to please women.
Why are you so unkind to the girl you met for the first time today? With your temperament, shouldn’t you flatter women whenever you see them?”
After hearing this, several people around laughed and said: "Hahaha... This is exactly what my brother said. Mr. Shi is also a frequent visitor to the flower market in the capital. His mouth is as sweet as honey. What girl can't be coaxed by him?"
Are you excited? Today, when you come here, you attack the girl you just met for the first time. It seems that you have a premeditated plan and the person who comes here is not good!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just have doubts about "Dream of Red Mansions". What's wrong with asking about my doubts? Is there no one else here except me who has doubts about the girl I met for the first time?"
"It's okay to have doubts, but when you asked, it was more or less in your head. Why don't you go and prove whether you are your mother's child?"
"you……"
"It has long been known to the world that "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by Chu Jian Girl, but you insist on Chu Jian Girl to prove it? As the saying goes, if you take off your pants and fart, you are the one, right?"
"Would you like to say it again?"
"What? Mr. Shi is going to use his father to suppress others?"
Seeing that several people were arguing, another person stood up from behind: "If one sentence cannot prove the origin of "Dream of Red Mansions", what if a second Cao Xueqin appears?"
When everyone heard this, they looked around and saw a handsome young man whom no one knew.
Suddenly the discussion started again.
"Who is this person?"
"I have never seen this person anywhere in the capital."
"His accent doesn't sound like someone from Beijing. I do have a Suzhou-Hangzhou accent."
After discussing it, they didn’t recognize each other.
But what he said was puzzling.
What is the second Cao Xueqin?
Several people around asked at the same time: "What does the young master mean?"
Unexpectedly, the other party said something astonishing: "I am Cao Xueqin. "A Dream of Red Mansions" was written by me. I am here today just to expose this person and dazzle you all."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and the place immediately became lively.
As soon as this person appeared, Nangong Chuxin was slightly frightened, and looked back at Xia Shang: "It seems that there will only be a lot of trouble today, but let's see how this precious girl of yours ends up? Also, are you sure?
Don’t you want to help her?”
"True gold is not afraid of fire..."
Before Xia Shang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nangong Chuxin: "Come on, don't tell me that Dream of Red Mansions was really written by that woman. Who else in the world can write Dream of Red Mansions besides Mr. Xia?"
Xia Shang wanted to deny it, but when he saw the other party's determined look, he swallowed his words back, and finally fell silent.
There was a simple exchange below, but there was a heated exchange of words below.
"You don't even look at who you are, and you actually say that you are Cao Xueqin?"
"Are you, an unknown person, crazy for wanting to be famous?"
"Don't attack like this. Since this person dares to say such words here, he must have something to rely on. It's better to see what else he has to say."
"That is, we are all literati, how can we judge people by their appearance?"
"Okay, in that case, we are willing to listen."
The person who called himself Cao Xueqin took two steps forward and said to Ruo Chujian above: "Since this girl claims to be Cao Xueqin, she must be very familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions". Then I would like to ask for advice on the chapter "Dream of Red Mansions"
In Chapter 15, Wang Xifeng takes control of the Iron Kan Temple, and Qin Jingqing takes advantage of the Mantou Temple. What is the content of the fifth paragraph? If you can do it exactly when you first meet the girl, then I will believe that the girl is Cao Xueqin."
"Exactly..." Everyone looked at each other and frowned.
"Dream of Red Mansions" is well-read by many people, especially the poems in it, and many of them know it by heart.
But if you want to memorize the entire paragraph of "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is not an easy task.
Some people were worried that the girl might not be able to answer the question for the first time, so they asked back: "Looking at your tone, it sounds like you can write it down word for word."
The other party smiled confidently: "What's so difficult about this? It sounds like... After a while, I saw two horses flying from the other side, not far from Sister Feng's car. They jumped down together, helped the car and said: "There is a lower place here.
"Grandma, please rest and change your clothes." Sister Feng urgently asked Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang for instructions..."
This person speaks with confidence and without pause.
Someone took the Dream of Red Mansions they brought with them and compared it one by one, and found that it was indeed word for word.
"That doesn't count. This person has been prepared for the test when we come up with a paragraph."
"I said that I am Cao Xueqin. If you don't believe me, you can feel free to test me."
"Then tell me about the last paragraph of Chapter 34."
"Aunt Xue was so angry here that she tried to persuade Baochai: 'You always know that evil man's words are unreasonable, why don't I ask him to accompany you tomorrow?' Baochai was full of grievances and anger, what should he do...
"
"Chapter 56."
The other party still answered fluently, and the one-by-one comparison was indeed accurate.
Then everyone asked questions one after another, but the person who called himself Cao Xueqin didn't stop at all.
His performance is getting more and more frightening. If it weren't for the author, it would take a lot of time to memorize the whole book to this extent. If it weren't for the author, it would be almost impossible for him to answer so quickly without making any mistakes.
.
Could he really be...
Everyone looked at Ruo Chujian above and had a little doubt about her.
Cao Xueqin, who was below, raised her hands and asked, "Now, what else does the girl have to say?"
"It takes a lot of effort to memorize the whole book, but calling yourself Cao Xueqin... makes people feel a little arrogant. As we all know, "A Dream of Red Mansions" has not yet been completed, and there are only seventy-nine chapters in the world. If you really
Cao Xueqin, please tell everyone about Chapter 80." (To be continued)
