Chapter 142 Dream of Red Mansions
Chapter 142 Dream of Red Mansions
Yundu cautiously asked, "Anu?"
Ren Baozhi's polite smile deepened: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm very fine."
Yundu took Ren Baozhi's hand and said gently, "We know there are some things that A'nu doesn't want us to know, so we'll just pretend we don't know. It's just that in the past, you made occasional mistakes with us, but now your books are meant for the public. While your explanation just now may fool outsiders, it still lacks thoroughness. A'niang is worried that if you continue to be so careless, you'll eventually cause trouble."
After hearing these words, Ren Baozhi felt a warm sensation in the stone statue, which pieced itself back together. She took Yundu's hand and said, "You already know that I can conjure things out of thin air. Don't you think I'm some kind of monster?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Ren Lanyue held Ren Baozhi's arm and said affectionately, "Actually, we've discussed this privately. We feel that you, sister, are more like a fairy than a demon or monster."
Everyone nodded again, surprisingly unanimous.
"Look, you taught us to read and practice martial arts, constantly helping each of us, and also taught us many new and wonderful ideas. Only gods would help us like this without asking for anything in return."
Everyone continued to nod.
Yundu took over the conversation: "We all know that Anu has supernatural powers. This matter must not be spread outside. However, your actions today really make us worried. It is better to tell you so that we can help cover for you in the future."
Ren Baozhi couldn't describe how she felt at this moment. It turned out that her behavior had always been full of flaws. Indeed, even Li Qixi could discover her ability, let alone her family and friends who were with her every day.
She felt a little embarrassed, but also very touched. She was not just helping the characters in the book. It turned out that the characters in the book were also carefully helping her in places she hadn't noticed.
Since everyone already knew about this, Ren Baozhi didn't pretend anymore. After all, she was a wealthy woman now.
After opening the system mall, Ren Baozhi directly bought a box of toilet paper and placed it on the table. If the system had not activated the purchase limit mode, she would have bought some more menstrual napkins and soap.
As for electrical appliances, Ren Baozhi doesn't plan to buy any for the time being. It would be too easy to be exposed, and she rarely uses them herself.
Although everyone had known that she had special abilities, they were still shocked when they saw with their own eyes how Ren Baozhi could transform such a large box of things in an instant.
Ren Baozhi stood up and opened the box, introducing the paper: "This toilet paper is for wiping away waste after using the toilet. From now on, you can get rid of toilet paper. This is cleaner and less likely to get sick. The reason I can create these things is because I've helped you. The more progress you make, the more points I can get. The more points I get, the more things I can buy. If we can help women all over the world improve together, then I can buy even more things, and then everyone can enjoy them together."
Ren Lanyue hugged Ren Baozhi's waist excitedly and said, "Sister, you really are a fairy, right? Are points your fairy money? Sister, can you conjure up something else?"
Ren Baozhi said awkwardly, "As I said just now, I'm not a deity, so I can only transform one thing a day."
Ren Lanyue slapped her head and said, "I understand. It must be that we are progressing too slowly. Sister, you don't need enough points. Don't worry, we will study hard in the future and help more women improve together. Earn a lot of points for you! Let your magic power be boundless!"
Ren Baozhi smiled bitterly: How can I explain that I am really not a god.
One day, Zhu Fangfei and several sisters came to the Women's Newspaper again. As soon as they stepped into the store, they found that there were some new things on the empty bookshelf.
Ren Lanyue excitedly waved at Zhu Fangfei: "Sister Fangfei, come and take a look, these are the thread-bound books we have just put on the shelves."
"A thread-bound book?" Zhu Fangfei moved closer to the bookshelf and took out one of the books.
The cover of the book is blue with three big words written on it - Dream of the Red Chamber.
Ren Lanyue took the opportunity to introduce it, "Sister Fangfei, this copy of Dream of the Red Chamber is really good. Our Women's Newspaper is the only one in the whole capital that has it. Come and take a look."
Zhu Fangfei became even more interested after hearing this: "Since Yue'er recommends it so much, I'll definitely take a closer look."
Ren Lanyue raised her hand and swore: "It is absolutely beautiful, no deception to anyone."
After hearing what Ren Lanyue said, the literate customers nearby also came forward and took a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber". They wanted to see what was written in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
With Yundu and the others as cover, Ren Baozhi directly put fifty copies of "Dream of the Red Chamber" on the shelves. Anyway, outsiders didn't know when their thread-bound books were invented, so as long as the story was consistent, there would be no problem of being exposed.
In just a short while, all fifty copies of "Dream of the Red Chamber" were sold out.
Zhu Fangfei sat by the window with the book in her hand. As soon as she opened the first page, her thoughts followed the self-pitying stone at the foot of Qinggeng Peak and drifted to the gentle land of wealth and glory in the mortal world.
That day, there was no other sound in the room except the sound of footsteps, the sound of pouring tea, and the faint sound of reading newspapers coming from the study.
It was not until the closing drum of the West Market sounded that everyone's thoughts were brought back from the worldly world in the book to reality.
Zhu Fangfei read widely, so she naturally read faster. In just one afternoon, she had read the tenth chapter.
Although there were some strange stories during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, these stories were few and short. Dream of the Red Chamber was the first such long and epic work about love and hatred.
She closed the book amid the sound of drums, and her fingers stroked the cover repeatedly. Just ten chapters made her so reluctant to put it down.
The kindness and love of Lady Shi, the intelligence and sensitivity of Lin Daiyu, the shrewdness and strength of Wang Xifeng, and the simplicity and optimism of Granny Liu...
In just a few short plots, the characters in the book are portrayed vividly, and the descriptions of family, friendship, and love are particularly insightful.
Zhu Fangfei put "Dream of the Red Chamber" back on the bookshelf very gently, and felt a little absent-minded on the way home.
Seeing that "Dream of Red Mansions" is so popular, Ren Baozhi can't help but sigh that it is worthy of being one of the four great classics, it is really powerful.
She struck while the iron was hot, and after today, the Women's Newspaper added another project - reading novels.
