Xianwu: Opening and Hua Xiaolan's Apprenticeship with Shaolin

Although he has read private schools, he is not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs.

Just follow the teacher, learn to read and write.

They don't even have the qualifications to be admitted as a scholar.

Therefore, Chen Xin, the second brother of Xiaohu, can't help but feel a little inferior.

Xiaohu found out that something was wrong with his second brother and asked:

"What's going on at home lately?"

"I...I'm interested in someone."

Xiaohu's second brother, Chen Xin, said shyly, a little embarrassed to speak.

"Wh... what? You're getting married?!" Xiao Hu was startled and teased.

I didn't expect my second brother to get married and start a business.

"I haven't proposed yet." The second brother's face flushed red, and he faltered and said, "I just..."

"Is it Li Blacksmith's daughter? She's so pretty!" Xiaohu guessed: "Also, she likes my elder brother for several years. They grew up together, just like Xiaolan and Zhou Yuan!"

When Xiaolan heard this, she also wanted to bless her.

But Xiaohu's second brother Chen Xin shook his head and said shyly:

"No, Xiaohu, not her, the girl I like, she is..."

"Not Li Blacksmith's daughter?" Xiaohu planned on his second brother again, a little surprised.

Because from childhood to adulthood, the two were childhood sweethearts, and they were well matched.

Unexpectedly, his second brother fell in love with another girl.

"That must be a very beautiful girl!" Xiaohu guessed.

After all, Blacksmith Li's daughter is known for her beauty.

"Is that girl virtuous? How much dowry does she have?" Xiaohu thought more realistically.

In ancient times, daughters were called money losers, because they had to prepare a generous dowry to marry a daughter.

"Does she know how to calligraphy and painting?" Xiaolong also asked.

Obviously, these two questions reveal their different love preferences.

Xiaohu focuses on practicality, while Xiaolong focuses on talent.

"Okay, don't ask any more." When Xiaolan heard the two's questions, she felt that she couldn't listen anymore.

However, she also asked a question:

"By the way, does she like you too?"

This question can reflect Xiaolan's view of love very well.

It's not the same as Little Tiger and Little Dragon.

Appearance, money, talent... These are not important, what matters is whether you like it or not.

Just like she likes Zhou Yuan, even if Zhou Yuan has nothing, Xiao Lan will always be the same.

"What's her name? How did you meet her?" Xiaolan asked curiously again.

"Her name is Mei Li, and she is the adopted daughter of the owner of Weijiabao. I like her very much, but I'm not sure if she likes me."

Xiaohu’s second brother, Chen Xin, said:

"Merry was abandoned when she was born, and the Lord Weiburg adopted her."

Because he worked in Weijiabao for a long time, he had the opportunity to meet Mei Li.

"Master Weibao? It's Wei Shan, the wealthy owner of Weijiabao." Xiaohu thought to himself.

Weijiabao is a small castle built by Wei Shan.

No one knows where Wei Shan got the money to raise a lot of domestic slaves and build a small city.

All I know is that Wei Shan is very rich!

There seems to be a steady stream of money!

"When I sent wood to Weijiabao, Miss Mei Li would often talk to me about her sadness."

Xiaohu's second brother sighed and said:

"I sympathize with her experience, I like her unconsciously and want to take care of her, but I'm not sure what Mei Li thinks,

By the way, she's been reading a book recently and was so addicted to it that I went and bought a study and took it with me. "

With that said, Xiaohu's second brother, Chen Xin, took out the book.

The title of this book contains three words:

Dream of Red Mansions!

"Isn't this the book I asked the bookseller to publish in Kaifeng City?"

When Xiaolong saw the title of the book, he was pleasantly surprised:

"I didn't expect it to be spread so widely in only three months. The bookseller must have made a lot of money, and I will ask him for it!"

"You actually wrote this book?" Xiaohu's second brother, Chen Xin, was also surprised.

"That's not true, I'm just the discoverer of this extraordinary book, and it's me who made this book available to the public."

Xiaolong was a little proud, and then said solemnly:

"The creator of this strange book is Zhou Yuan!"

"What?!" Xiaohu's second brother, Chen Xin, looked at Zhou Yuan behind Xiaolan, but he didn't expect it to be written by Zhou Yuan!

"But the author written on the title of the book is Mr. Xueqin. Are you Xueqin?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Seriously, Xueqin really isn't me."

Mr. Xueqin, it was Zhou Yuan who got the pseudonym for this book.

"Zhou Yuan, don't be humble, this is obviously a book you wrote yourself, you named it yourself, how can you not admit it?" Xiaolong retorted:

"Although you need to be low-key, you can't be too low-key. I believe that even if the emperor reads this book, he will definitely praise you."

"Yes, Brother Zhou Yuan." Xiaolan also said, "I watched you finish this book with my own eyes, and it took me five years."

The two grew up together, so basically, Xiao Lan knew exactly what Zhou Yuan did.

"Okay, I wrote it." Zhou Yuan really couldn't explain it clearly.

After all, there is no Mr. Xueqin in this world, so Zhou Yuan should take his name.

"This book is really well written. Mei Li is so addicted to it that she can't extricate herself."

Xiaohu's second brother Chen Xin praised and said:

"She said that if she could meet the author who wrote this book in her lifetime, she would die without regrets.

This book gave her great spiritual comfort! "

After all, in Dream of Red Mansions, there are many women with tragic fate,

So Mei Li can easily find a sense of substitution.

"Zhou Yuan, can you go see Mei Li with me? I want to fulfill her wish." Xiaohu's second brother Chen Xin pleaded.

"Brother Zhou Yuan, just go and see her, that girl is so pitiful~" Xiao Lan also supported.

Zhou Yuan nodded, just as he also wanted to see this girl Mei Li.

……

At this time, the group had arrived at Chenjia Village.

at the same time……

Weijiabao, in the boudoir of the daughter of the lord of Weibao,

Mei Li is dressing in the mirror,

She was wearing a delicate Luo skirt, her black hair was fluttering, and she wore a golden hairpin.

If you look at it from the back, at first I thought it was a big beauty!

But looking at her face makes people choked up.

There seems to be no problem with the facial features, but when combined together, they look weird and ugly.

"Woooooo~"

Mei Li looked at herself in the mirror, sobbing and crying.

Tears fell, dripped into hands, and turned into a diamond in the blink of an eye!

Very beautiful diamond!

"why?!"

She threw the diamond out of her hand and said angrily:

"Why am I called that! Mellie? I'm not beautiful at all!"

"I don't want my tears to turn into diamonds, why am I so cursed!"

No wonder she was so sad.

"Don't be so surprised."

At this time, her adoptive father, Wei Shan, the owner of Weijiabao, walked into the house and said with relief:

"You should have been beautiful when you were born!"

"Eunuch, tell me more about my life experience." Mei Li asked while weeping.

"When I found you, you were born a few days ago, and there was a note with your name Mei Li written on it. I don't know anything else."

Wei Shan's words have been repeated many times.

But in fact, he killed Mei Li's mother.
