Chapter 10 One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
Lonely newcomers, please recommend, collect!!!!!!!!!!
At this time, "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" had a similar experience with the manuscript "The Heart of a Girl", which was popular in China from sixty or seventy years ago, and although the book was banned by the authorities, it still spread from Beijing, the political center and Shanghai, the economic center, to the whole country.
In addition to Yongzheng, the most injured person in "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", the second person is naturally Yongzheng's sixth son Aixin Jueluo Hongyi, although this sixth prince is the stepson of Prince Guo Yunli, the seventeenth son of Emperor Kangxi, but he is only the stepson who inherited the title.
Prince Guo is not a hereditary iron hat king, and the current head of the family, Zaizhuo, is already the eighth generation, and the title has been reduced from the original prince to the prince of Feng'en Town.
Zai Zhuo was born in September of the 29th year of Daoguang, and in July of the seventh year of Guangxu, he succeeded his father Bei Zi and became the eighth generation of the head of the family of Prince Guo, and this year he is already a 59-year-old man who is ill in bed all the year round, and most of the things at home are handled by his eldest son Pu Yan.
In the face of such a slander of the family, Pu Yan cried to the Empress Dowager Cixi on the one hand, demanding that the people who write and read books be severely punished, and on the other hand, strictly ordering the family members and servants at home not to talk about this matter, but where is there a wall in the world that does not leak, the matter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" finally reached Zai Zhuo's ears, and after reading the description of the life experience of the six princes in the book, he was angry and died directly.
Zai Zhuo's death undoubtedly added another fire to this novel that has already been hyped up, and the palace secrets are naturally difficult to verify except for the witnesses themselves, even the descendants of Aixin Jueluo are also skeptical after seeing this book, but after seeing Zai Zhuo's reaction, they really believe it, and they also see Zai Zhuo's death as a shame after the scandal is exposed.
Of course, all of the above is an afterthought, and when Sun Wei was able to get out of bed and walk around, the impact of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" was only in the concession, and the newspaper pages of the entire concession were detonated by this sudden novel, whether it was a big newspaper or a small newspaper, they were not afraid to report this matter with the largest page, and all the reporters were looking for the source of the book.
So far, the entire concession has more than 1.5 million permanent residents, but it is actually very small, in this more than 1.5 million people, there are no more than 5,000 foreigners living in the permanent residence, and the number of foreigners living temporarily is at most, and the original version of this book is the English version, even though everyone has doubts about the foreigners who are familiar with this kind of palace secrets, but still most of the perspective is turned to the foreigners.
In fact, every reporter has the talent of being a paparazzi, although these reporters in the concession can not blatantly track and interview foreigners, but they can still knock on the side, and finally focus on Mary Wilson, the daughter of the British consul in Shanghai, after many confirmations by these reporters, the first edition of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" was circulated from her hands, and then every update was also started by her.
"I haven't seen Miss Mary for two days, has she been heavy on her studies during this time?" Sun Wei, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, suddenly asked Wang Qian, who was sorting out his clothes.
"Do you miss her so much?" Wang Qian looked up at him for a while and asked.
"Where, I'm just curious!" Sun Wei categorically rejected his wife's inquiry, but soon he said a little unwillingly: "Anyway, since I finished talking about "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", she has disappeared, didn't I tell her before that I also conceived a historical masterpiece "The Legend of Miyue", doesn't she want to hear it?" ”
Sun Wei is very proud that he will have a masterpiece of 15.6 million words and more than 70 episodes of TV episodes in no more than 500,000 words, and this pride makes him suddenly have the desire to harm another set of high-rated heroine TV series "The Legend of Miyue", but the story has not been told, but the person who listened to the story has disappeared.
"She's here to hear it, but I guess she'll be afraid to see you for a while." Wang Qian said with a joking charm.
"Why?" Sun Wei was confused by what Wang Qian said, but soon he thought of a possibility, and asked Wang Qian a little uncertainly: "You mean she told others the story I told you?" ”
"Not only did I tell others, now you go outside to take a look, even the illiterate grandmother knows that there is a banned book in our concession that has caused a sensation in the imperial city, and I heard that Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, has reported this book to the imperial court. I said uncle, if you are idle, you can help me share the burden, and send away those who come to stalk and shoot horses every day, why do you want to tell stories about breaking the ban! Without waiting for Wang Qian to speak, Xiaolan, who was helping beside her, suddenly interjected and complained.
"You deserve it, someone took the initiative to help you share the burden, but you said that others scolded you, you are tired yourself." In the past, Xie Xiaoshu was naturally taking care of it, and when Sun Wei was hospitalized, Wang Qian was reluctant to show up because of her identity, so she naturally handed over everything to Xiaolan, once Xie Xiaoshu secretly came to see that Xiaolan was busy and wanted to help her, but she scolded her.
"Don't you think about it, even if I'm tired, I won't let that fox come near the door of our house!" Xiaolan said in a tone that was even more domineering than that of the hostess.
"You're so powerful, I don't know and think you're my real lady." Sun Wei gave Xiaolan a thumbs up and praised.
"Miss, my uncle is bullying me again!" Xiaolan complained to Wang Qian angrily.
"At this time, you are still in the mood to mess around." Wang Qian reprimanded the two, and then said to Sun Wei: "I didn't tell you about this matter before because I was afraid of affecting your condition, but now that you are still in the mood to make trouble, there must be a way to calm this matter." ”
"What's the way...... Yes," Sun Wei said in a lengthened voice.
"What's the solution?" Wang Qian and Xiaolan asked at the same time
"Of course it's a cold salad, do you think it's still steamed." Sun Wei said indifferently.
"What kind of cold salad and steaming, I'm telling you seriously, this is a life-threatening matter, in case Mary can't hold the pressure and confesses you, we'll be finished." Wang Qian said worriedly.
"It's not as serious as you think, the court doesn't dare to do anything to the daughter of a British consul without tangible evidence, and even if Mary really can't resist confessing to me, I won't admit it to death, and no one will believe that I, an illiterate person who has only studied in private schools for a few days, can know so many palace secrets." Sun Wei explained to Wang Qiankuan.
"Seriously, you haven't even been to the north, let alone know the royal family, how do you know such a secret thing as the Yongzheng Dynasty?" Wang Qian asked curiously.
"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear a lie?" Sun Wei asked with a smile.
"How can you tell the truth, and how can you say a lie?" Wang Qian was puzzled.
"The lie is that I dreamed of entering the court and witnessed the occurrence of this period of history, and the truth is that the book was all made up by myself, what Zhen Huan and fake Huan are simply characters I made up." Sun Wei said with a smile.
"Just because you made up such a person, it made the whole Shanghai Beach scandalous, no wonder my father said that you were born to be a scourge!" Wang Qian said dissatisfiedly.
"You can't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Mary's girl, the next time you see her, remember to tell her, I promise not to kill her when I see her." Sun Wei said with a smile.
"Death Phase!" When Wang Qian heard this, she glanced at Sun Wei and scolded.
They knew that Sun Wei could not exercise too much, so they did not take the most popular rickshaw now, but rented a rather spacious carriage for Sun Wei and Wang Qian, while the Wang couple and Xiaolan walked in front in the rickshaw, and the two bodyguards who had been protecting Sun Wei's safety outside the ward followed on foot.
About ten minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the Shikumen in an alley, and then Xiaolan stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the Shikumen.
"Master, Mrs., Aunt, Miss, you are back, lunch is ready!" The door was opened by a coarsely clothed woman in her forties, followed by two short-dressed men, one about the same age as the woman and the other in his twenties.
"Mother Wu, where's Lingling?" Wang Qian, who was helping Sun Wei get out of the car, didn't see her daughter come out, and asked the woman.
"Miss Sun just fell asleep after being tired of playing, do you need me to wake up?" The woman asked.
"No need, let her sleep more, just leave her food." Mrs. Wang preemptively commanded.
"Yes, ma'am." The woman answered.
Then the Wang couple and Sun Wei walked straight into the gate, leaving Xiaolan to pay for the car and direct the bodyguards and servants to carry the luggage.
After entering the courtyard, the Wang couple and Wang Qian washed and prepared to eat under the service of Wu's mother, while Sun Wei observed the shikumen building where he lived with great interest.
This is a standard five-bay building, a door is a long horizontal patio, on both sides are the left and right wings, directly opposite is the guest hall with long windows on the floor, the guest hall is about four meters wide and about six meters deep, the two sides of the guest hall are secondary rooms, there is a wooden escalator leading to the second floor behind it, and then there is the back patio, which is only half as deep as the front patio, there is a water well, and behind the back patio is a single-story slope annex house, which is used as a kitchen, miscellaneous house and storage room, and next to it is the back door of the back yard.
Sun Wei found that the shikumen he lived in was very different from the shikumen he saw in his previous life, not only with a complete left and right wings, but also with a spacious interior building, but unfortunately this shikumen did not have a well-known pavilion.
"Ah Wei, what are you looking at, don't come here to wash your hands and eat!" When Sun Wei was observing the back patio, Wang Qian's voice came from inside the hall.
"Coming soon!"
