"Yes. But it's not just the book, didn't I also buy this album!" Chang Song introduced, "There are also old wall calendars, old printed paintings, old letters, old postcards, etc., quite miscellaneous." ”

"This bookstore seems to be interesting, how did you find it?"

"A colleague said that he likes to collect villain books. Let's see?"

"Okay!"

Wu Duo settled the account, and the two walked over.

When he arrived at the door of this bookstore, Wu Duo looked up and saw that there was a plaque hanging above the small door, with the words "old bookstore" written on it, and the original name of this store was called old bookstore.

Wu Duo entered the door of the store, and there was an old-fashioned account desk on one side of the door, and behind the account desk sat a man with a Chinese character face, looking about fifty years old, with neatly combed short hair, and a gray shirt covered with camel-colored wool and thin shoulders, quite elegant.

Presumably he is the shopkeeper.

"Hey, young man, here you go again? I told you, that's all there is to the Spring Palace. The boss looked up and saw Chang Song come in and recognized him.

Wu Duo looked at the boss's hand, it was actually a Chinese translation of Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit", and couldn't help but secretly shout "I'll go", it is not easy to read this book.

"Boss, I'm eating cow nest bones nearby, and I'm going to take a stroll after eating, and if you're so loud, everyone else will look at me!" Chang Song was slightly embarrassed.

The boss smiled, "Okay, then you can watch it casually!"

In fact, there were not many customers in the store at this time, only three or four people. There was also a little girl who was picking up a stack of old books, presumably an employee hired by the boss.

Wu Duo first took a general look, this store is not wide, but long, from the door to the inside is quite deep, on both sides of the wall are bookshelves and bookcases, in the middle is a table, between the table and the bookshelf are two aisles.

Things are really miscellaneous.,Mainly old books.,There are also ancient books bound in the line.,And then there's the ones that Chang Song said.,In addition,There's a big bookshelf dedicated to villain books (comic books.)。

Not long after Wu Duo came in, a guest brought a box of villain books from the big bookshelf to pay for it: it was the 1985 edition of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House's "Romance of the Gods", a box of 15 volumes.

Comes in the original box, and it's kept pretty well. The boss quoted 2,000 yuan, which was more expensive than the album of the secret drama that Chang Song bought, and it was not discounted, so the guest actually bought it without hesitation.

Later, Wu Duo found that in this old bookstore, there were many publications from the Republic of China period, and some of them were not bad.

For example, the Xuanhe Printing Society of the Republic of China has a hand-bowl seal "Wu Changshuo Print", which is a large white paper with two volumes of original letters. How can an ordinary bookstore that sells used books have such a good price? However, the boss's asking price is not ambiguous, and it will not be sold if it is less than 28,000.

There is also the "Complete Works of Suiyuan" of Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty published by Shanghai Civilization Book Company during the Republic of China, a full set of 32 volumes of thread binding, one is not missing, and it is also something that can exceed 10,000 when it is sold.

However, all valuable things are placed in the bookcase with glass, and the lock is hung, so you can only look through the glass first, and you want to look at it carefully and call the boss to open the lock.

"I also have this "Complete Works of Suiyuan". Seeing Wu Duo reading the book inside through the glass, Chang Song leaned aside and smiled.

"You're so broad!"

"Mine is the modern version. ”

"Whew!" Wu patted his leg, "don't pant so much." ”

Chang Song laughed dryly, "However, this set of books is really worth reading, and it is one of the excellent models for learning ancient texts." It was also after reading this book that I realized that this Suiyuan was the prototype of the Grand View Garden in the Dream of Red Mansions. ”

"Oh?" Wu Duo really didn't know about this stubble.

"Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin, the coat of the Internal Affairs Office, is deeply loved by Kangxi, and Jiangning weaving is a fat poor. Kangxi made six southern tours, all of which lived in Cao's house. However, after Cao Yin died, the Cao family weakened, and later became involved in the prince's struggle for the crown, so something happened. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Cao Xueqin's father was convicted and his house was raided. ”

Wu Duo nodded, "I know this." Could it be that the Cao family garden later became a Sui garden?"

"That's right!" Chang Song continued, "After the Cao family was raided, the Cao family's garden was taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But what about this Sui Hede, he hasn't covered the heat yet, and he was also robbed of his house for corruption. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, this garden was finally bought by Yuan Mei, and Sui Garden was changed to Suiyuan, and he called himself the old man of Suiyuan. ”

"So that's what happened. Earlier, it was Cao Garden, then it became Sui Garden, and later it was changed to Sui Garden. When Cao Xueqin wrote Dream of Red Mansions, she wrote the Grand View Garden based on Cao Yuan. "Yes, don't chat yet, I'll take a look at the things here." ”

Then the two men went their separate ways.

Walking to the edge of the innermost stage, Wu Duo saw a few old books on antique appreciation published in the nineties, and flipped through them.

When I flipped through it, I found a "Modern Famous Painter's Album" pressed underneath.

This book was published earlier, it was published in 80 years, 8 copies, and it is quite thick, printed on coated paper, and it is really not light to hold in your hand.

Don't look at this book at the bottom, because it is a hard-shell cover, so it is really well preserved, Wu Duo turned over more than a dozen pages, and found that under each painting, there are comments and notes, and some have an introduction to the style of the seal, which is quite in place.

"This book is available. Wu Duo looked at the pricing and found that it was ridiculously low, and then he realized that this was the price of a book from the 80s.

Wu Duo took the book to the account counter, "Boss, how much is this album?"

The boss just looked at it roughly, "This is a genuine book on coated paper in the eighties, give a hundred yuan!"

Wu Duo didn't bargain, "Okay, let's put you here first, I'll take a look, and there are other suitable ones to settle accounts together." ”

As a result, Wu Duo and Chang Song spent a lot of time in this old bookstore, and Wu Duo not only bought this "Modern Famous Painter's Album", but also bought a copy of "Zunsheng Eight Notes, Yan Xianqing Appreciation Notes" published during the Republic of China.

This book is actually a professional work of appreciation, written by the Ming Dynasty scholar Lu Lian. Lian Lian is a scholar, a health care master, and a master of cultural relics identification. The most interesting thing about this book is that in addition to appreciating cultural relics, it also finds another way, taking the appreciation of antique cultural toys as an important means of health preservation, which can be described as entertaining and educational.

Chang Song had dinner with his girlfriend in the evening, and drove Wu Duo home before leaving.

After Wu Duo went home, he also tried to save trouble, so he simply put noodles out; the noodles were put out of the pot with cold water, and the fertilizer was evenly blended; he mixed beef sauce and poured rice vinegar and sesame oil to stir it······

After eating, Wu Duo sat on the sofa and carefully flipped through the "Modern Famous Painters' Picture Book", wanting to know which paintings of famous artists were roughly, and had a number in his heart, and it was convenient to study at any time in the future.

As a result, when I turned to "Qi Baishi", I found that there was a piece of letter paper in the book!

This is an old letter paper from the Republic of China, about 24 centimeters in length and 20 centimeters in width, printed with a red vertical grid.

Maybe it's because it's been sandwiched in the album for a long time, and it's very flat.

Wu Duo picked up the letter paper and felt a little damp, but the handwriting on the brush was still clear and normal, and it had no effect.

The handwriting is written vertically from right to left, and the red vertical grid is regarded as nothing, which is simply written as a blank piece of paper.

This word, no, this should be called calligraphy, although the writing is a little grassy, but the skill is profound, and Wu Duo seems to be a little familiar······

The head of the stage is: Brother Cixi.

I took a rough look at the content of the letter, which seemed to be a letter of thanks, thanking the "Brother Cixi" for his help, especially for helping to publish a collection of poems, and said that in order to express his gratitude, he would give "Brother Cixi" a few paintings of his own before the Spring Festival.

At the end of the letter, there is this sentence: It is a good prediction.

To put it mildly, this is a bit arrogant, as if his paintings are awesome!

But when Wu Duo recognized the payment, he couldn't help but nod silently, well, it should indeed be "pre-happy".

Because the signature is: Qi Huang nodded his head.

Qi Baishi, formerly known as Chunzhi, later changed his name to Qi Huang, the word is on the verge of life, and the number is Baishi, Baishi Mountain Weng, Lao Ping, etc.

After the prerejoicing, Wu Duo took a deep breath, stretched out the middle finger of his left hand, and pasted this piece of letter.
