"That's right, in the fairy world, this is a classic novel that everyone must read." Zhang Hao nodded and said, "We immortals have the ability to know the future of the world, and a few decades later, a person named Gao He sorted out and published the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" and signed the name of Mr. ”

His words were actually a little flawed, but fortunately, Cao Xueqin was immersed in excitement and didn't notice the contradictions in Zhang Hao's words at all.

After a while, he excitedly asked, "I finally got what I wanted!" Shangxian, isn't the transaction between you and me related to "Dream of Red Mansions"? ”

"That's right." Zhang Hao said with a smile, "It is said that Gao E's "Dream of Red Mansions" was restricted by the Manchu Literary Prison, so he couldn't use your original work for the next forty times, but asked others to continue to write it.

Therefore, I would like to take a look at your original work to confirm whether this claim is true. ”

"I see." Cao Xueqin nodded and said with a wry smile, "I don't dare to hide it, the reason why I didn't publish "Dream of Red Mansions" is that I am afraid that my family will be implicated." The contents of the last forty episodes really cannot be published at the moment. ”

"In that case, I can make a deal with you." Zhang Hao said, "I am willing to exchange 10,000 taels of gold for the original of your "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

"The immortal saved me between fire and water, how can I get an inch?" Cao Xueqin shook her head and said, "I only need a hundred taels of gold." ”

"Sir's work is unparalleled in the world, how can I be stingy?" Zhang Hao said, "Sir, if you are afraid that ten thousand taels of gold will be too ostentatious, I can give you the gold in batches." ”

"Shangxian, you really don't have to." Cao Xueqin refused again, "Now, I no longer yearn for the prosperous and wealthy life I used to have, I just hope that my family can be healthy and safe, and it is enough to have no worries about food and clothing." ”

After saying that, he smiled again and said, "If the immortal really doesn't want to go, why don't you provide me with another meal!" Seeing that it was lunch time, there was no rice at home, and I was really ashamed of my wife and children. ”

"Well, if you have financial needs in the future, you can call me at any time." Seeing Cao Xueqin's resolute attitude, Zhang Hao had no choice but to nod and say, "I'll go and prepare a meal for Mr., can the gold ingots be replaced with broken gold nuggets?" ”

Cao Xueqin happily arched her hand and said: "That's the best, thank you to the immortals!" ”

Zhang Hao said: "I'll go and come back." ”

Back in the real world, he took out enough weight of gold from the system and headed straight to the nearest gold shop.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask Steward Su to help him buy vegetables and meat, as well as a bag of polished rice.

After coming to the gold store, Zhang Hao quickly found the staff at the counter: "Please help me process these gold ingots." ”

"Yes, sir!" After inspecting the composition of the gold ingots, the staff responded, "Do you want to process this gold into other crafts?" IMHO, these gold ingots of yours are very collectible crafts in themselves. ”

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "No, just make it into small pieces, just like those broken gold used in film and television dramas." ”

The staff was instantly stunned: "Huh? ”

Zhang Hao didn't explain the reason, and said in a deep voice: "I'll pay the processing fee as usual, no problem, right?" ”

"Of course, no problem at all!"

Although they were amazed at the extent of Zhang Hao's defeat, the staff still performed their duties seriously.

Dozens of minutes later, Zhang Hao left the gold shop with the gold that had been cut and shattered.

When he drove home, Steward Su had already prepared rice and vegetables for him.

After thanking the other party and watching the other party walk out of the courtyard, Zhang Hao put the broken gold into a cloth bag and then returned to the trading room.

Cao Xueqin asked in surprise: "Shangxian, why did you come back in the blink of an eye?" ”

"It's done." Zhang Hao handed the cloth bag to the other party and said, "100 taels of gold, Mr. Cao weighed it." As for the meals, they will be delivered directly to your home. ”

"Naturally, I can trust the immortals!" Cao Xueqin carefully put away the cloth bag and said again, "Thank you Shangxian, I will take the original of "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

"No need," Zhang Hao waved his hand and teleported "Dream of Red Mansions" into the system space, and at the same time sent the rice and vegetables to the dilapidated kitchen of Cao Xueqin's house, "After I have copied it, I will return the original to Mr. Cao." ”

The original of "Dream of Red Mansions" is precious, but he is not ready to keep it for himself.

If "Dream of Red Mansions" in the parallel world could not be passed down because of this, he would have to carry the cauldron.

"Shangxian, I'm bored on weekdays, and I've already copied several originals, so you don't need to return the originals to me." Cao Xueqin said, "Shangxian has the grace of life for my whole family, so why worry about it?" ”

"Okay, then I'll take the book!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Mr. Cao, if you encounter trouble in the future, you can call me in your heart at any time." ”

Cao Xueqin couldn't help nodding and said, "Thank you Shangxian, then let's say goodbye!" ”

Zhang Hao knew that the other party was in a hurry to go back and ask the doctor to treat his son, so he didn't talk nonsense, and directly teleported Cao Xueqin back to the kitchen of his house.

Achievements popped up in the system:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the transaction with the three traders and unlocking the achievement 'Language Mastery'.

Language proficiency: In the system, communication between the host and the trader is not affected by language differences. ”

Looking at the white flowers that appeared in the rice jar out of thin air, as well as the bright vegetables and high-quality beef on the stove, and then touching the hard gold in his arms, Lao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

How scared he was, the previous scene was just a dream of his Nanke.

Fortunately, all of this happened in real time.

He hurriedly called his wife, and after telling her, he was ready to go out to ask for a doctor for his son.

His wife's eyes were red, and she still pointed to the sky in disbelief and asked, "Xianggong, is this really?" ”

Cao Xueqin nodded, put her hand to her lips to signal the other party to silence, and hurriedly ran out of the house.

There was also a tear of joy in the corner of his eye.

In the system space, Zhang Hao carefully opened the original of "Dream of Red Mansions" and directly turned to the content after 80 times.

He has long been proficient in words from the system, and it is natural that he can read traditional Chinese characters.

Sure enough, the content of the last 40 episodes written by Cao Xueqin himself is very different from the content in his impression of the "genuine" "Dream of Red Mansions".

While watching, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Daiyu and Baochai ended like this, it turns out that Baoyu is the last..."

The fact that time in the system is not affected by real time is a great thing for him.

When he finally raised his head from the book and observed the situation at Cao Xueqin's house with the eye of heaven, he saw that the Cao family had already lit candles and were enjoying dinner at the table.

Lao Cao's sick son seemed to have taken medicine, and his face was a little bloody at this time, and he was drinking rice porridge in small sips, while constantly looking at the beef on the table.

His mother noticed his little gesture and gently sandwiched the beef into his bowl.

Cao Xueqin said happily on the side: "Eat more, eat slowly!" ”

Looking at the happy appearance of the Cao family, Zhang Hao smiled with satisfaction.

Although he didn't make the difference in this transaction, it was a good thing to be able to help a great writer who had been bumpy for 10,000 years.
