159 Don't Humiliate Eunuchs!
Compared to the weakness of Confucian scholars, they only dared to think about how to write a sequel. The scholars in Jinling City fell into great anger.
The previous implementation of the new imperial examination policy, Xiao Hunhou has already caused them a lot of trouble, which makes them feel angry.
Xiao Hunhou actually ended "The Story of Stone", how could they bear it?
Finally found a reason and went to find trouble for Xiao Hunhou openly.
"Down with Xiao Hunhou!"
"Let's go, let's go to Prince Ping's Mansion to break his dog's head! Let him be more awake!"
"Let's go, this time I won't go, it's a coward!"
Groups of scholars mustered up their courage, shouted in three or five times, and came to the Pingwang Mansion together.
Outside the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion, he was blocked by more than a dozen elite prince's mansion guards. The extremely angry scholars finally became timid and decisively recommended Xie Lingyun as the representative, and went to express their strongest indignation and protest to Xiaohunhou.
As long as someone enters the Prince Ping’s Mansion to protest, it is enough to prove that these scholars are not too cowardly.
Besides, Xie Lingyun is already a minor official in the court, and even if he offended Xiaohunhou, his fate would not be too miserable.
Most of the other scholars still have to take the imperial examination, and it is not easy to "beat" the examiner directly.
...
Xie Lingyun was alone and entered the Pingwang Mansion with great anxiety to find Chu Tianxiu in Yuyuan.
Many people are brave and courageous.
Every person can drown Xiaohunhou with one mouthful of saliva.
Let him go alone to scold Xiaohunhou, the god of heaven is pitiful... Can he fight Xiaohunhou be better than Xiaohunhou?!
"Brother Lingyun, what's the matter?"
Chu Tianxiu glanced at him.
"Little Marquis...I want to ask, what does 'close' mean?"
Xie Lingyun asked guiltily.
"That's what, maybe it's a eunuch."
"Eunuch?"
Xie Lingyun was confused.
Xiao Hunhou finished the "Stone Story". What does it have to do with the eunuchs in the palace?
"There is nothing below... Isn't it just a eunuch? This is just a vivid metaphor. This little marquis never meant to insult the eunuchs of the palace!"
Chu Tianxiu was also helpless.
Out of respect for the original work of Mr. Cao Xueqin, he definitely would not write the plot after Chapter 80.
"Little Marquis, you can't just leave it alone... You can't grow the ones below?"
Xie Lingyun almost begged.
"Have you heard that eunuchs who have broken roots will grow again? No, right!"
Chu Tianxiu shook his head and said earnestly: "Eunuch and unfinished are the two ultimate directions of novels with more than one million words.
However, this is also an open-ended writing without an ending... with endless possibilities and imagination. This little marquis doesn't mind others continuing to write "The Story of the Stone".
Aren’t you conceive a novel? Sooner or later, you will embark on my old path. Eunuchs or unfinished ones. You must be mentally prepared!”
"Ah...really?"
Xie Lingyun was stunned.
He was conceiving a new novel, designing a scholar who failed the palace examination, and designing a daughter-in-law "Yingying", a famous daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, to fight against all parties for love, an extremely romantic love story.
Could it be that eunuchs will be unfinished?
Xie Lingyun walked out of the Pingwang Mansion in a daze.
The scholars rushed up and surrounded Xie Lingyun, asking what they had talked about after seeing Xiaohunhou.
...
The next day.
There were hawkers shouting "Da Chu Mansion News" on the streets of Changle and at the entrance of Danyang Bookstore.
"Shocked! Major news from the "Da Chu Mansion News": Xiaohunhou's masterpiece "The Story of Stone" was officially completed, and the whole book is only eighty chapters. Xiaohunhou officially announced the completion of "The Story of Stone"!"
"There is a rumor in the market that Xie Lingyun, a scholar from the Xie family, got the manuscript and bravely entered the Pingwang Mansion in anger, questioning Xiaohunhou, "What does it mean to settle down?"
Xiaohunhou defended himself, this is probably called eunuch... It means that there is no more below!
However, Xiaohunhou also said that eunuchs and unfinished novels are routines in the long and magnificent novels... Please keep calm and don’t throw bricks or smash rotten eggs, just get used to it.
Xie Lingyun burst into tears when she heard this, knelt down and begged, and grew out of it.
Xiao Hunhou said that if he is an eunuch, he will never be able to grow again.
Although the eunuch in "The Story of Stone", when it comes to the best of things, what isn't this a kind of "open" writing? - Leave plenty of space to let everyone use their imagination to their fullest.
To put it better, ‘open’ writing is a trend in future novels.”
"Unbelievable! There is a rumor that Xiaohunhou found out that he had finished his talents and had already paid a lot of money to ask for a child in private... No, please write the "Stone Story" for him! The offer is as high as fifty taels of gold, so those who want it should hurry up!"
"Jia Sheng, a famous scholar in Jinling, volunteered to continue writing "The Story of Stone" to realize his dream for everyone. Wu Sixian said that he was also thinking."
The vendors waved the "Da Chu Palace" excitedly and shouted, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Xiaohunhou not only sold books, but also sold "Da Chu Di Daily" soared. Many young ladies and noble women who never read "Da Chu Di Daily" bought "Da Chu Di Daily" to see the news on it with their own eyes.
After confirming the news with their own eyes, they couldn't help but cry and burst into tears.
For many days and nights, they fell asleep with the "Stone Story" and wandered in the Rongguo Mansion full of dreams and tragic beauty.
"What does Xiao Hunhou mean? Do you castrate yourself by wielding a knife?"
"Our daughter-in-law and young women in Jinling have unanimously requested that it grow out!"
Don’t be seized by them and catch Xiao Hunhou, otherwise they must ask Xiao Hunhou for an explanation.
...
Jinling Imperial Palace.
Cai and the eunuch are serving the emperor, and the emperor is busy.
He took advantage of his leisure to read "The Story of Stone" in his hand. When he read the sad part, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
Emperor Xiang Yanran was reviewing the memorials. Seeing Cai He, who had always been steady, he couldn't help but wonder, "Cai He, why are you sad?"
"Your Majesty, Xiao Hunhou has finished the "Stone Story". He said he was an eunuch?"
Cai He said in a crying tone.
"He is a eunuch, what does this mean? Xiao Hunhou castrated himself with a knife and wanted to enter the palace to be a eunuch? ...There is no shortage of eunuchs in the palace!"
Emperor Xiang Yanran was surprised.
Why is Xiao Hunhou so unconscious? Isn’t he just becoming a son-in-law? He has any grievances that he cut himself off.
What should I do if Princess Danyang of the Ping Prince’s Mansion?
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to see Xiao Hunhou standing beside him all day long after he becomes a eunuch... Xiao Hunhou hasn't even made the palace messy?!
"Xiao Hunhou is not his eunuch, he is the eunuch in "The Story of the Stone"... but he is gone, but he is a eunuch!
Xiao Hunhou is bullying too much. He obviously gave up his burden and stopped writing, but he even used our eunuchs as an example to humiliate us eunuchs!"
Cai He looked sad, "Your Majesty, these days, the eunuchs in the palace have strongly protested this statement... Our eunuchs have not offended him, Xiaohunhou!"
Chapter completed!
