Chapter 518 is explained by the author himself

This is all the reason why the ancestors have not been broad.

Fang Ze suddenly thought that this situation should be a typical real case of poverty limiting imagination.

Ordinary people have no way to write 'Jia Bujia, white jade is the bed gold and horses.' That's the kind of wealth that only the real powerful have."

There are some things that I have never seen and really can't imagine.

For example, someone posted a few photos taken and taken at Facebook headquarters on the Internet, showing a walking corridor, a small garden and benches overgrown with flowers and trees, a manicured lawn and a place near the lawn for hundreds of people to rest and eat.

It's basically a small park with a nice environment.

Although the scenery is average, the person walked for more than ten minutes and did not come to the end, so it can be seen that the place is very large.

And then.

And then this is actually the roof of Facebook's 20th building.

Now that there's the Internet, you can know about it. In Cao Zhan's time, who built a garden on the roof of the building. Outsiders who have never seen the world can't even think of it.

For example, in 1771, a count of Tsarist Russia approached a German painter and asked him to paint a picture of a battle in Tsarist Russia, which mainly depicted the destruction of all the ships of the Turkish army by Russian artillery fire.

After the German painter finished painting, the count was not very satisfied with the painting, because the painter had not participated in naval battles and could not paint the kind of burning appearance of a warship after being hit by artillery fire.

So the count sent the painter to the port, blew up a ship directly in front of him, and said: 'Look, that's it. ’

Not only can't you imagine the happiness of rich people, but you can't even write about it.

Facing Cao Zhan's words, Fang Ze immediately fell silent.

After all, although he is now wealthy, it is still a little difficult to replicate the scene of Cao Fu back then.

The main thing is that now it is necessary to hire someone to be a servant in the house, and the price is unimaginable. Hiring a nanny who only takes care of the children in the imperial capital will cost thirty or forty thousand a month if it is reliable, let alone hire a lot of servants.

Fang Ze was silent, but Cao Zhan said that he criticized the content of the last forty chapters, then shook his head and closed the book, and asked Fang Ze. "If I take out the last forty times now, I won't lose them again, right?"

"No, it won't. Fang Ze hurriedly said, "But after you take it out, whether others believe it or not is another matter." ”

"Believe it or not?" Cao Zhan was a little confused.

"Well, because Dream of Red Mansions is now too high in China, and it also feeds a lot of related scholars. In addition to studying your book, they also repeatedly explore the truth behind Dream of Red Mansions, such as whether you wrote this book. ”

Fang Ze's words made Cao Zhan hesitate, questioning has always been an instinct of human beings.

This instinct is falsification for literati and bug-finding for players.

For example, you can't understand why some players don't play the game well and always try to find bugs in the game (except for Ubisoft players), and some literati never stop questioning whether the original author of the article is true.

After all, history is a little girl who dresses up at will, as long as you can really find convincing evidence, then you will immediately become famous all over the world.

Such a profitable thing, and without any cost, is indeed a very worthwhile thing to do. Anyway, as long as you dig deeper, no one can find something wrong.

For example, in the last forty episodes, everyone generally says that it is a continuation of Gao E, but now because there are too many doubts, I don't say that anymore. The original Gao He continued to Dream of Red Mansions has also become an anonymous continuation, Cheng Weiyuan, and Gao He finished.

But it's true. Because in the introduction to Cheng Yiben, which was co-authored by Gao He and Cheng Weiyuan, he himself said this.

And after his revised Houlou Dream was published, he began to enter the court as an official and see the world as the first place in the top three in the palace examination. If he had been asked to compile the next forty times in his later years, maybe it would have been different.

Cao Zhan, who learned of this situation, became a little worried, he never thought that one day people would question that the book he wrote was not written by himself.

However, Fang Ze advised him to relax, which of the authors of the four famous books has not been questioned. It is because there are many people who study Dream of Red Mansions that there are many people who question it, as long as he can prove that he is indeed himself.

Fang Ze took the book, scanned the QR code and paid, and was about to take Cao Zhan out to eat, when the boss happened to come back.

"Guide?" Fang Ze was about to greet the owner of the bookstore, when he looked up and saw that Jiang Shaohao, the guide he had just met a few days ago, was also here.

"Yo, what a coincidence. Jiang Shaohao said hello to Fang Ze, and then said enthusiastically, "I'm going to record a video of the Red Mansion explaining here, do you want to be a live audience." ”

"It's not eaten yet. As soon as Fang Ze finished speaking, he saw Cao Zhan's interested eyes, so he changed his tone and asked, "But if it's not long, it doesn't hurt to watch it for a while." ”

"I can't delay much, but I can still learn some knowledge. Jiang Shaohao said and moved the table and stool out with the boss, and then set up the camera.

"What kind of form are you guys in?" Fang Ze asked.

"It's almost the same as a hundred pulpits. Jiang Shaohao said while directing people to arrange the scene, "The owner of this bookstore is a lover of Red Mansions, and after I heard about it, I planned to let him record a teaching video of Red Mansions in this academy, and then put it on the Internet, so that I can promote my educational institution and bookstore." ”

Oh.

After Fang Ze understood, he went out and bought two breads, and then he and Cao Zhan sat in the audience with the other people, waiting for the bookstore owner to start talking about the Red Mansion.

To be honest, the level of the boss is still good, as an amateur, because he has been exposed to a lot of information all year round, so many places are the head of the road.

However, after all, I am not a professional researcher, and some mistakes are inevitable.

So this caused Cao Zhan to listen more and more uncontrollable below.

After all, the guy standing above was talking about his book, but he was talking about it with a lot of mistakes, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Literati, look at your own works the same as your children, your children have made people misunderstand, as a parent, you have to interject two sentences.

So Cao Zhan began to remind the bookstore owner sentence by sentence that something was wrong.

Although the owner of this bookstore has a good personality, he is always pointed out by Cao Zhan to make mistakes, and he feels a little bad in his heart. But after all, what Cao Zhan said was reasonable, and some of the habits of the ancients also explained the Tao, so he leaned down and said, "Why don't you come up and talk about it, and I will study?"

The boss was polite, but Cao Zhan took it seriously, and really stood up and said to the bookstore owner, "Okay, I'll talk about it." ”

After Cao Zhan stood up, several employees at the scene were a little anxious, afraid of destroying this video, but Jiang Shaohao waved his hand and motioned for others to leave it alone and let Cao Zhan go up and speak.

He also understands the Dream of Red Mansions, although it is only half a bottle of water, but who said it still knows him.

So Fang Ze ate bread and mineral water, and sat down to listen to Cao Zhan, who was getting more and more talking, to talk about the Red Mansion for an afternoon.

And not only the content of the first 80 chapters, but also the content of the last 40 chapters.

Of course, Cao Zhan talked about the original, but the audience at the scene thought that he relied on his own conjecture to talk about the last forty times.

The bookstore owner sitting below was originally a little disdainful, but as Cao Zhan spoke, his expression became more serious. And even many people who came to the bookstore to buy books stopped listening because Cao Zhan's speech was so good.

"I'm done. "Cao Zhan talked for too long, because his body couldn't hold it anymore, and it was finally over.

"Okay!" Hearing Cao Zhan finish, Jiang Shaohao was the first to take the lead in applauding, and soon the applause was continuous.

"I didn't expect to meet a master here. Jiang Shaohao was the first to rush up and shake hands with Cao Zhan, "I don't know where the master is high." ”

"I'm at home at the moment. ”

"What about before. Jiang Shaohao asked again unwillingly.

"Ahem. Fang Ze walked up at this time and interrupted Jiang Shaohao. "Instructor, this elder in my family is not in good health, and I haven't eaten for a day today, so let us go back to eat and eat first, and then talk later. ”

"Can you leave me a contact information, I would like to ask the old man to give a few lectures on the Red Mansion. ”

"Instructor, don't I have your contact information, we're talking back, I'm afraid the old man has a stomach problem. Fang Ze and Jiang Shaohao exchanged a few words, and then hurriedly pulled Cao Zhan away.

The original author personally came to the stage to talk about the Red Mansion, and Fang Ze was sure that after this video was released, it would cause a lot of discussion in the red academic circles.

Even if no one knows that this Cao Zhan is that Cao Zhan, but some of the living habits of the ancients, some rules of the big family, and the unspoken rules of the upper class society at that time.

These various things that people can't know at all in the future, if Cao Zhan himself tells them, will definitely attract the attention of others.

It's like a high-ranking official, who has nothing to do and records a video for everyone, talking about how we usually work and how we discuss. How to distribute power among various departments, and why do some things that everyone can't figure out.

That, the picture is too harmonious to imagine.

In the evening, he found a tea restaurant for a meal, Fang Ze saw that Cao Zhan's complexion was not good, and knew that he was tired today, so he let him rest early.

The next day, Jiang Shaohao's phone called, saying if he could ask Cao Zhan to record another video. And they who recorded it before are now doing post-processing, and it is estimated that it will be released on the Internet in the next few days, I hope Fang Ze can pay attention to it then.

When Cao Zhan woke up, Fang Ze took Cao Zhan to the first floor of the Demon Management Bureau for dinner, and said about it, Cao Zhan thought about it but refused.

"That's a pity. Fang Ze said, "What is the content of the forty episodes after the Red Mansion, we may not know for the rest of our lives." ”

"I can only stay here for five days, and there is no way to write down the contents of the last forty chapters of the stone record alone. Cao Zhan thought for a while and said, "And just like Mr. Landlord said before, if you really write it out, everyone will approve it or not, or two words." ”
