Just as he was about to jump up and scream, Yinzhen stabilized himself again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wait a minute......
Could it be that this red bean song was not written by Cao Xueqin, but by Lao Ba?
Did Lao Ba write it first, and after circulating it for decades, it was won by Cao Xueqin, and then stuffed into the Dream of Red Mansions?
That's not right either! How do you look at this "Red Bean Song" and how to fit the tragedy of Bao Dai, put it in the dream of Red Mansions, I can't see that it is plagiarism at all, and whose poems are not good for him to plagiarize, so he has to plagiarize the eighth child? Cao Xueqin is looking for death!
No, this is not written by Lao Ba, this should be Cao Xueqin's original!
But how did the eighth know about Cao Xueqin's works in advance? Where did he see it?
His mind was full of cranky thoughts here, and his face changed like neon lights, but the rest of the people didn't pay attention, and after listening to the song, everyone applauded.
The third elder brother said that he should find a courtesan and sing the song of the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother waved his hand and smiled: "On a whim, the third brother should not take it seriously." Everyone just listen to the laughter and laughter, and when it reaches the ears of the emperor, they will blame me for being promiscuous. β
After the banquet for a while, they were full of wine and food, and they got up to say goodbye, but at this moment, the eighth elder brother called Yinzhen: "The fourth brother stays." β
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen.
The eighth elder brother smiled and groaned: "I have some things that I want to ask the fourth brother for advice." β
Yin Zhen thought about it and nodded: "Okay." β
So when everyone had departed, the servants came up and cleaned up the remnants of the feast, and brought tea again.
The eighth elder brother didn't drink it, he looked at Yinzhen, and suddenly smiled: "The fourth brother has heard the song "Red Bean Song", hasn't it?" β
Yin Zhen didn't expect him to ask this, his expression was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
The eighth elder brother continued: "The fourth elder brother knows that I didn't write it, and there are other people who composed this song. Really? β
Yin Zhen's heart was slightly turbulent, and he thought about it for a long time before he said tentatively: "Since you didn't write it, then where did you get it?" β
The eighth elder brother's expression became complicated, and after a long time, he said: "I wrote this song, and I didn't write it." I saw it from a book in the studyβnot from the book, but from a piece of paper sandwiched between the book, and on this piece of paper, this "Red Bean Song" was written. β
After he finished speaking, he paused again: "It's my handwriting, it's my own handwriting, but I don't remember it at all." β
Now, Yinzhen understood.
Seeing that his expression had changed, Eighth Elder Brother hurriedly asked, "Fourth Brother knows what's going on, right?!" There were so many people here just now, only the fourth brother, when he heard this red bean song, the look on his face was wrong, fourth brother, you tell me, who made this red bean song? β
was forced to ask by the eighth elder brother about this, and Yinzhen couldn't pretend not to know.
"It's hard to explain this in a sentence or two." Yinzhen said with difficulty, "There are some things that you have indeed forgotten...... But even if I say it, you don't necessarily believe it. β
"Fourth brother, you say! I'll believe what you say! β
Yin Zhen had no choice but to say: "You once left the Qing Dynasty, you left for three years, you went to another world, no, it's not that the soul is gone, but the living people leave, leaving a fake here, there are hundreds of years separated from the Qing Dynasty, you ...... there"
Yin Zhen couldn't go on, because the face of the eighth elder brother had already explained everything.
He sneered slightly: "The fourth brother refuses to tell the truth, so why bother to say some crazy things to prevaricate me?" β
When Yin Zhen heard this, he felt sad and speechless.
He was silent for a moment and stood up: "Since you don't believe it, then I won't say it anymore and take my leave." β
He was about to leave, but the eighth elder brother called out to him again.
"Okay, the fourth brother refuses to tell the truth, and I don't force it." He looked at him in disappointment, "That's good, the fourth brother told me who made this red bean song - this, you should always know, right?" β
Yin Zhen looked at him for a long time, and finally said: "Supervising the imperial history Cao Yin, do you remember?" β
Eighth Elder Brother was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Remember." How? He wrote this red bean song? β
"No, it was his grandson."
"Cao Yin's grandson?! Which of his grandsons? β
Yin Zhen was stunned for a long time: "...... It seems that a single name is a dipping word. β
"If it was written by his grandson, how do I know it?"
ββ¦β¦β
The eighth elder brother looked at Yinzhen for a long time before nodding slightly: "Okay, I won't ask, thank you for telling the fourth brother." β
On the way back, Yinzhen was thinking nonsense all the way.
He now understands why the eighth elder brother insisted on inviting him, a political enemy, to the banquet today, the eighth elder invited so many people, and then recited the red bean song in public, just to find someone who reacted to this work.
The only one who has heard red bean songs and knows its origin is Yinzhen.
But so what? He told the truth, but he was regarded as a liar by the eighth elder brother.
Yin Zhen was inexplicably sad in his heart, and now, the hope of awakening the memory of the eighth elder brother was even more slim.
When he returned home, he sat down and didn't drink a cup of tea, he heard the noise outside, Yinzhen got up and was about to ask, but Gao Wuyong came in in a panic: "Lord Wang, Wu Seventeen, the housekeeper in the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion is here!" β
Yin Zhen was stunned: "What is he doing here?" β
"It's not just him here, Lord Wang, he also brought people to tie up our Sjepan!"
When Yin Zhen heard this, he hurriedly rushed out of the house!
When I arrived in the front hall, I heard the noise over there, and some people shouted, "To be a thief is to be a thief!" I took you, and you still want to argue! Even if you are a prince, you can't ignore the facts! β
At the same time, he heard Sjepan shouting, "I'm not a thief!" I'm looking for a cat! I'm going to find my Pu/Jing! It's locked up by you! β
Yin Zhen thought to himself, this is a bad thing!
He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried into the antechamber.
As soon as he came, the people who had been clamoring just now fell silent.
The housekeeper in the Ninth Elder Brother's Mansion, Wu Seventeen stepped forward to greet Yinzhen first.
"Lord Wang, the slave is Wu Seventeen, the housekeeper in the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion."
Yin Zhen recognized this person, before, Si Jie Pan lived in the house of the Ninth Elder Brother, it was this Wu Seventeen, who took care of him before and after, and it seemed that he was very good to Si Jie Pan.
But at this moment, the person in front of him had a fierce face, as if he had made up his mind to come to the door to quarrel.
Yinzhen had to ask: "Get up, what is going on?" β
"Back to the prince, this foreigner came to our ninth master's mansion to steal, and was caught by a few minions, and the minions asked him where he was, but he refused to say, only said that he was your person. Our lord sent the servant and said, go to the prince and ask you, if this foreigner lies, then bring him back, and our lord will interrogate him well! β
Sjepan was on the sidelines, blushing and still yelling, "I didn't steal!" No! You've locked up Pu/Jing! Don't let it run out! Give me back the cat! Give me back the cat! β
Wu Qiqi smiled: "Even if we lock up the cat, the cat is also our ninth master!" Not out there! The ninth master thought that the cat was running around, so he ordered someone to lock it up. You climb into the courtyard wall and try to steal the cat, it's not stealing, it's what! β
Sjepan was so angry that tears flowed from his eyes: "Cats can't be tied up in cages!" You've strangled the hair on its neck! How can you treat Pu/Jing like this! β
In front of Yinzhen, Wu Qiqi didn't dare to make any more noise, he simply bowed: "Lord Wang, the slave wants to ask the Lord to show me, is this foreigner from your house?" If not, the minions will take him home......"
"This foreigner is from my house."
At this sentence, everyone in front of them was stunned.
Everyone didn't expect that Prince Yong would fight against Brother Jiu for a foreigner who came from nowhere.
When Wu Qiqi heard this, he laughed dryly: "Then, this is not easy to do......
Yin Zhen said lightly: "What's so hard to do?" My minions, I will deal with them myself, and I will not bother my ninth brother to do it. If I break my belongings or tear my clothes, I will pay for it. β
Wu Qiqi also understood that this was the Yongwang Mansion, and when it came to this point, it would not be beneficial for them to make any more trouble.
So I had to say stupidly: "Since you are the prince, you are the person, and the little one naturally doesn't dare to talk much, and in the future, please stop doing such things as chickens and dogs!" β
After saying that, he left with a black face and his servants.
Gao Wuyong hurriedly stepped forward and loosened the rope for Si Jiepan, who rubbed his numb arm, he was still indignant: "Lord Wang, they abuse cats!" β
Yin Zhen looked at him blankly and sighed for a long time.
"Forget it, Sjepan, that cat belongs to Brother Jiu, it belongs to their family, we can't move, you better don't think about it."
Sjepan endured it for a long time, and finally burst into tears: "That's my cat...... Why did it become theirs? Why won't they give it back to me? β
Yin Zhen was also sad, he patted Sjepan on the shoulder and persuaded him to enter the house.
Accompanied him to shed tears for a while, and Yinzhen asked him the details of the matter.
It turned out that Si Ge Pan went to the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion again, and he walked around the courtyard wall for a long time, and just happened to hear Pu/Jing's screams, he climbed up the courtyard wall and saw that the cat was tied up.
"I jumped off the wall and wanted to save Pu/Jing, but they found out, so they shouted that they had caught the thief, and I was arrested by them, and it happened that Brother Jiu came back......"
Speaking of Brother Jiu's return, Sjepan's expression suddenly changed, his eyes drooped, and his face turned a little red.
Seeing him like this, Yin Zhen's heart moved.
"Sjepan, have you seen Brother Nine?! How do you feel? β
Sjepan raised his face, and he looked at Yinzhen blankly: "I...... I can't tell. I feel like that person, I know, I like...... I seem to like him a lot. β
Yin Zhen looked at him abruptly: "Really? β
"But it's not just about liking. At the same time, there is also disgust. Disgust and sadness at the same time......" Sjepan held his head, "I don't know what's wrong with me!" My brain is almost numb, I like and hate this person! What's going on? Lord, how can you like and hate at the same time? Do I like him or do I hate him? β
Yin Zhen couldn't answer, what Si Jiepan liked was Brother Jiu, and what he hated was naturally a copy of Brother Jiu's face.
After a while, he had to say with difficulty: "Don't think about it, Sjiepan, in the future, don't approach this person, whether you like it or hate it, I can tell you that this person is very dangerous, and he will hurt you." For your own safety, don't approach him again. β
Sjepan lowered his head for a long time before he was full of sadness and hummed softly.
Today's mess caused Yinzhen not to sleep well all night, he felt that there was a wall-like shield, just around him, he knew the truth, he could see the facts, but he couldn't reach it, he couldn't break through these walls, and grab the hands he really wanted to grab......
He can't even save a cat now, and Pu/Jing is locked up by Brother Jiu and locked in a cage - where is this what the Ninth Brother did in the past! Once, he knew that there were psychopaths in the community who abused and killed the stray cats in the yard, and Brother Jiu was so angry that he took a knife to find the family, carried the man all the way to the top of the platform on the twentieth floor, grabbed his neck and threw him down. It wasn't until the other party begged for mercy and wrote a letter of guarantee that he stopped.
But now, it has become himself who abuses cats.
No, it's not, Yin Zhen reminded himself that a copy is a copy, and a copy is just a historical puppet, it's fake, and he's not the real Ninth Brother!
The next day, Yinzhen went to the court, but he was still listless, the whole person was confused, and even when Kangxi asked him, he also answered weakly.
What can be done to bring Sjepan to his senses? How to explain it so that the eighth elder brother can recall the past? His mind was full of these thoughts right now.
Who knew that when he was scattered, as soon as he walked outside the hall, he was stopped by the eighth elder brother.
Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the face of the eighth elder brother, a cloud of black gas, gritting his teeth, and his two eyes were so angry that they were sparkling out.
"What's wrong? Eighth, you are ......"
"Yesterday, the fourth brother told me that the "Red Bean Song" was made by the grandson of Cao Yin, the superintendent of the imperial history." The eighth elder brother said word by word, he stared at Yinzhen, "Today, I specially asked someone to inquire, the superintendent of the imperial history Cao Yin does have a grandson named Cao Zhan, but that child is not yet a year old now!" β
Yinzhen opened his mouth and stammered!
Eighth Elder Brother stared at him and suddenly sneered: "Fourth Brother, aren't you using me as a pastime?!" β
Yin Zhen opened his mouth: "No!" I'm telling the truth! It's that Cao Xue...... Red bean koji written by Cao Zhan ......"
"Less than a year old! How did he write such a long tune?! β
"He'll be able to write when he's grown up!" Yin Zhen was anxious, "You told me to tell the truth, what I said was the truth!" If I'm lying, I'm telling you that someone else wrote it! β
The eighth elder brother dropped his sleeves: "Enough!" β
He looked at Yin Zhen coldly, nodded and said, "I know that from you, fourth brother, I can't hear a word from the bottom of my heart." I was self-inflicted, thinking that the fourth brother swore that day that day that he would treat me as his own. It seems that I was wrong! β
Yin Zhen was angry and sad, and he also shouted: "Okay! Then you can ask, all over the world! If you can find a second author, the fourth brother, I will make amends to you! β
Eighth Elder Brother took a step back, and he looked at Yinzhen lightly: "I won't ask anymore, and I won't inquire." In the future, me and the fourth brother, you should go our separate ways! β
After speaking, he didn't look at Yinzhen and turned his head away.
Yinzhen was left standing alone outside the hall, looking at him blankly, so aggrieved that he almost cried.
β¦β¦ The "Red Bean Song" was really written by Cao Yin's grandson.
(Note: Cao Xueqin is not born at the moment, in order to facilitate the story, I changed his birth time) (to be continued.) )
