Compared to the weakness of the Confucian scholars, they only dare to think about how to write a sequel. The scholars of Jinling City fell into an incomparable rage.

Before the implementation of the new policy of the imperial examination, they were already miserable, which made them hold their stomachs.

Xiao Duhou actually ended "The Story of the Stone", how could they bear it.

Finally found a reason, and went to find trouble with Xiao Duhou.

"Down with the little dusk!"

"Let's go, let's go to King Ping's Mansion to break his dog's head! Let him sober up! ”

"Let's go, it's the cowards who won't go this time!"

Groups of scholars plucked up their courage, shouted three or five, and came to the Pingwang Mansion together.

Outside the gate of the Ping Palace, they were blocked by more than a dozen elite palace guards, and the extremely angry scholars finally relented, and decisively elected Xie Lingyun as the representative, and went to express the strongest indignation and protest to Xiao Duhou.

As long as someone enters the Pingwang Mansion to protest, it is enough to prove that these scholars are not too cowardly.

Besides, Xie Lingyun is already a small official of the imperial court, even if he offends Xiao Duhou, the end will not be too miserable.

Most of the other scholars still have to take the imperial examination, and it is not good to directly "beat" the examiner.

...

Xie Lingyun was alone, and he entered the Pingwang Mansion with great anxiety and found Chu Tianxiu in Yu Garden.

People are bold.

One person can drown the little dusk with a mouthful of saliva.

Let him go alone to scold the little dusk marquis, God will be pitiful... How can he fight a little faint marquis?!

"Brother Lingyun, what's the matter?"

Chu Tianxiu glanced at him.

"Little Marquis... This, the younger brother wants to ask, what does 'end' mean? ”

Xie Lingyun asked weakly.

"Well, it's probably a eunuch."

"Eunuch?"

Xie Lingyun was at a loss.

Xiao Duhou finished "The Story of the Stone", what does it have to do with the eunuchs in the palace?

"It's gone... Isn't it a eunuch? This is just an image metaphor, this little marquis has no intention of insulting the eunuchs and eunuchs of the palace! ”

Chu Tianxiu was also helpless.

Out of respect for Cao Xueqin's original work, he categorically would not write the plot after eighty chapters.

"Little Marquis, you can't just leave it alone... Can't you just grow it out underneath? ”

Xie Lingyun almost pleaded.

"Have you ever heard that a eunuch who has broken his roots will grow again? No, right! ”

Chu Tianxiu shook his head and said earnestly: "Eunuchs and unfinished are the two ultimate trends of more than one million words.

But isn't this a kind of open-ended writing with no ending... The possibilities and reveries are endless. This little marquis doesn't mind others continuing to write "The Story of Stones".

Aren't you conceiving a long book, and sooner or later you'll be on my old path. It's either a eunuch or an unfinished business, you have to be mentally prepared! ”

"Ahh Really? ”

Xie Lingyun was stunned.

He is conceiving a new book, designing a palace test for the first scholar, and designing a famous daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion "Yingying", fighting with all parties for love, an incomparably brilliant love story.

Could it be that the eunuchs will also be unfinished?

Xie Lingyun walked out of the Pingwang Mansion in a trance.

All the scholars immediately rushed up, surrounded Xie Lingyun, and asked what they had talked about after seeing Xiao Duhou.

...

Next.

There are hawkers, on the streets of Changle and at the gate of Danyang Bookstore, shouting and selling "Da Chu Di Newspaper".

"Shocked! Major news of "Da Chu Di Daily": Xiao Duhou Hong's masterpiece "Stone Records" was officially completed, and the whole book is only 80 chapters. Xiao Duhou officially announced the end of "The Story of the Stone"! ”

"There is gossip that Xie Lingyun, the son of the Xie family, got the manuscript and bravely broke into the palace of the king in a rage, and asked Xiao Duhou, 'What does it mean to finish?'

The little dusk marquis argued that this is probably called a eunuch... It's just that there is no more meaning below!

However, Xiao Duhou also said that eunuchs and unfinished works are the conventions of long and huge books... Please keep your emotions calm, don't throw bricks and smash rotten eggs, just get used to it.

Xie Lingyun wept when he heard this, knelt down and begged, and grew out underneath.

But the little dusk marquis said that if the eunuch is a eunuch, it will never grow again.

Although "The Stone Story" is a eunuch, but on the bright side, where is this not a kind of 'open-ended' writing? - Leave plenty of room for everyone to let their imagination run wild.

At best, 'open-ended' writing is a trend in the future of long-form writing. ”

"Unbelievable! There is gossip that Xiao Duhou found out that he was exhausted and had privately begged for a son... No, ask for a ghostwriter to continue writing "The Story of Stones" for it! The price is as high as 50 taels of gold, so those who want it should hurry! ”

"Jinling's famous Confucian Jia Sheng volunteered to continue to write "The Story of Stones" to realize everyone's dreams. Wu Sixian said that he also had this intention. ”

The hawkers excitedly waved the "Da Chu Di Daily" and shouted, lest the world be chaotic.

Xiao Duhou not only sold his books, but even the sales of "Da Chu Di Daily" also skyrocketed. Many young ladies and aristocratic young ladies who have never read the Di Bao have bought the "Da Chu Di Newspaper" and read the news with their own eyes.

After confirming the news with their own eyes, they couldn't help but cry and break their words angrily.

For many days and nights, they fell asleep with "The Story of Stones" and wandered in the dreamy and poignant Rongguo Mansion.

"What does this mean, Xiao Duhou, wielding a knife from the palace?"

"We, the daughters and young women of Jinling, unanimously and strongly demand that it grow!"

Don't let them seize the opportunity to catch Xiao Duhou, otherwise they must ask Xiao Duhou for an explanation.

...

Jinling Imperial Palace.

Cai and the great eunuch were serving the emperor, and the emperor was busy.

He took advantage of his leisure time to read "The Story of Stones" in his hand, and when he read the sad place, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he burst into tears.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was reviewing the chapters, and when he saw Cai He, who had always been steady, he couldn't help but wonder, "Cai He, what's sad?" ”

"Your Majesty, the little marquis has finished the "Stone Record". He said he was a eunuch? ”

Cai He said with a crying tone.

"He's a eunuch, what does that mean? Xiao Duhou wielded a knife from the palace and wanted to enter the palace as a eunuch? ... There is no shortage of eunuchs in the palace! ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran couldn't help but be surprised.

Why can't Xiao Duhou think about it so much, isn't it just to be a door-to-door son-in-law. What grievances, cut yourself with a knife.

What should I do with the county lord of Danyang of the Ping Palace?

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to see Xiao Duhou standing by his side all day long after becoming a eunuch... The little dusk marquis still doesn't give the palace a toss of chickens and dogs?!

"Xiao Duhou is not his own eunuch, he is the eunuch of "The Stone Record"... It's just that the bottom is gone, isn't it a eunuch!

Xiao Duhou is deceiving people too much, obviously he didn't write it himself, but he actually used our eunuchs as an analogy to humiliate our eunuchs! ”

Cai He looked sad, "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the eunuchs in the palace have strongly protested against this statement... Our eunuch didn't offend him either! ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran was silent and said, "Declare my will, and the next decree will go to the Ping Palace's Mansion to reprimand the Marquis of Xiao Duan... The eunuch is much more reliable than him, and he must not speak to humiliate the eunuch again! ”
