Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 147 Funny Blue Guard

The red candle is burning.

Xiangyun said, "I'm a spy sent by Chen Weiyuan to Cao Xueqin. When Cao Xueqin was writing Dream of the Red Chamber, there were rumors among the people that many booksellers wanted to buy his manuscript, but he refused them all. Chen Weiyuan tried several times, but was rejected. Although Mr. Xueqin was poor, he was not willing to give in to money. In order to obtain Dream of the Red Chamber, Chen Weiyuan asked me to pretend to be a widow and move in with Cao Xueqin."

Du Xiaoyue, Mochou, Xiumei and Mo Li were also listening to her story.

Du Xiaoyue said: "Then you and Mr. Cao have..."

Mo Chou said, "Xiao Yue, don't interrupt."

Xiangyun said, "I quickly gained his trust. At that time, he was penniless, suffering from hunger and cold, and in poor health. I helped him proofread and take notes. I could have paid for him to eat better, but I didn't dare to, because I was afraid he would become suspicious."

Mo Li said, "He devoted his entire life to writing this book. He worked until his life was exhausted."

Du Xiaoyue said: "This Cao Xueqin, he is really a nerd."

……

At this moment, Lan Hai came to the door carrying a food box and called out, "Master Mo, Master Mo."

After calling for a while and no one responded, I called a few more times.

Mo Li opened the window and said, "What are you making such a fuss about?"

Lan Hai said, "Master Mo, I'm worried that you're tired from writing. I've brought you some midnight snack."

Mo Li said, "Do you know that people who write books need quiet?" Then he closed the window.

Lan Hai was disappointed and muttered to himself: "How could I not know? I was just too impatient." He sat down nearby.

Mo Li said, "A Dream of Red Mansions is a history of blood and tears for eternity. Xiangyun, you have fulfilled your duty. If Mr. Xueqin is still alive, he would definitely not blame you."

Xiangyun said, "Thank you, Master Mo."

She already knew that Chen Weiyuan was arrested by Liu Yong, so she dared to show up in public.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Sister Xiangyun, please continue. What you say is more touching than a storyteller."

Mo Chou said, "Were you by Mr. Cao's side when he passed away?"

Xiangyun said, "No. But when he felt he could no longer hold on, he told me that he hoped his book would be passed down."

Mo Li said, "I believe that the book Dream of the Red Chamber will be remembered for eternity."

……

Lan Hai sat for a while, then grew increasingly bored, and left. After an unknown amount of time, he returned with another food box, ran to the window, and said, "Master Mo, Master Mo, Master Mo."

Mo Li opened the window again and said, "Guard Lan, what's the matter?"

Lan Hai said, "It's almost dawn. I'm afraid you're tired, so I brought you breakfast. May I ask if you've finished writing your book?"

Mo Lihao said angrily, "Why are you so anxious? I'm writing right now."

Just as he was about to close the window, Lan Hai said, "Master Mo, could you please be faster?"

Mo Li said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" and closed the window.

Lan Hai was frustrated again and muttered to himself: "I am anxious, I am not anxious at all, it is the emperor who is anxious."

In the room, Mo Li took a red box and put it on the table, took out the books inside, and put a pile of white paper in it.

Then he walked up to the four girls and said, "Xiangyun once asked me to redress the injustice of Dream of the Red Chamber, but I refused at that time. Now, I promise you."

Xiangyun said, "Thank you very much, sir. Please accept my greeting." Then she knelt down.

Mo Li hurriedly supported her and said, "Xiangyun, you can't do that. Get up quickly."

Then he ordered: "Mochou, please call in Guard Lan."
