Two days later, Xiang Nanzheng and Du Xiaoyue were admiring chrysanthemums in Xing'er Garden.

The so-called fish tank with 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 clearly know that she is 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 them, you can only passively get beaten. Only when you see the tricks, can you turn defeat into victory."

When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she smiled and nodded.

…

While talking, Lao Cai had already invited Xiangyun over.

When Xiang Nan saw her, she was indeed beautiful, and her personality was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just like the frost and autumn chrysanthemum, proud and brave in the wind.

"The young lady 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, 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 sir can save "Dream of Red Mansions"."

"The girl is talking about the fact that "Dream of Red Mansions" has been deemed as anti-book, and you hope that I can help vindicate it?" Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.

"Mr. Ji is really smart as ice and snow, yes, that's exactly what Xiangyun meant." Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Xiangyun was immediately filled with admiration.

"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 handed the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" to me." Xiangyun explained, "Mr. Cao also said that if there was someone in the world who could let "Dream of Red Mansions" be 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. "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 amazing book in ancient and modern times, and Ji loves it endlessly." Xiang Nan gave a thumbs up and praised, "It has been 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 just listen to what my husband said? This book is against the order of the emperor. 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's statement is totally false. The emperor's most valued ministers are Heshen and Fukang'an. 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, am just a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, how much power can I have in my hands?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Also, do you know why "Dream of Red Mansions" was designated as an anti-book?"

"Why?" Xiangyun asked doubtfully.

"It's because of He Shen and Fu Kang'an's false accusations." 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, an unfavored minister, wants to vindicate "Dream of Red Mansions", so he has 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 get justice for "A Dream of Red Mansions". It was just a matter of saying something. Now she knows that this is not a matter of saying something, and it won't be a good thing. , Xiang Nan will be beheaded.

"In this case, Xiangyun doesn't dare to force Mr. Xiangyun anymore." Xiangyun nodded, "Xiangyun takes leave."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

…

"Miss Xiangyun stayed. Ji only said that it was difficult, but did not say no." When Xiang Nan saw it, he smiled and persuaded 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 had asked someone to do something before. Even if the person could do it, he would still show off and threaten her. Now, Xiang Nan's behavior 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 met for the first time, I can see that. , the girl 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 "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, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you. However, the girl is not careful, showing her face in broad daylight, just like a child holding gold in the busy city, it is inevitable that people will covet you.

Everything 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, you are 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.

The girl is now being hunted by the government, which shows that your identity has been exposed, and the manuscripts of "Dream of Red Mansions" are no longer safe in your hands. Once the government obtains these manuscripts, they will definitely burn them. By then, Mr. Xueqin's legacy will be Disappeared into nothing.

Therefore, Mr. Ji hopes that you will leave the manuscript to me for safekeeping, and I will hide it in the Sikuquan Library. The library has a rich and vast collection of books, 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 in it to ensure safety. Although Ji cannot help it counterattack 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 the interests of the people. Mr. Xueqin’s last wish.”

"Sir, you are indeed very witty." Xiangyun nodded and said, "I listen to Mr. Ji."
