Chapter 195, Fish Mystery!
It took only three hours to remove the insects and renovate them....... If you find two housekeeping aunts to clean the house, I'm afraid it will take three hours to start, right?
Can repairing a book be the same thing as cleaning a house?
It's technology, it's art. It is a difficult task that requires ingenuity and caution.
Only I have such a clever restoration skills and a super-first-class speed cultivated in the course of more than ten years of book repair. For other people, I am afraid that it will take ten days and half a month to repair, and the workmanship is far less careful and exquisite than my own. It's all like this, and they still look very dissatisfied?
Thinking about it like this, Jiang Lai's mood was a little unpleasant.
Gotta add money!
"Jiang Lai Xiaoyou, I didn't mean that. Dong Yulin knew that Jiang Lai had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "I am lamenting that this speed is too fast. I thought that it would take a month at most to fix such a book, and at least ten days and eight days...... I've had people come and fix books before, and that's how quickly they've done it. I didn't expect that it would only take three hours to get to Jianglai Xiaoyou. This speed....... It's breathtaking. ”
"That's them. Jiang Lai looked cold and arrogant, and said loudly: "Some restorers lack work, and finally receive a project, so they work this book to grind time...... It's as if the more time you spend, the better you do your job, and the more professional your work will be. I have so much to do that I can't afford to spend ten days and a half a month on your book. So, three hours is the limit of what I can give it. ”
Some people's time is worth more than books, and some books are worth more than people's time. It depends on the person and the book.
Jiang Lai felt that his time was particularly valuable, he still had a large number of antiques to be identified, cultural relics to be restored, and Lin Chuyi to accompany him...... So, he couldn't have wasted too much time on this book.
"It's one thing to fix it, it's another thing to fix it. Xiao Qi answered beside him, full of doubts about Jiang Lai's every word, and retorted: "It's like a chef making soup, you can make a soup in thirty minutes, and you can make a soup in three hours, but can the soup you cook in thirty minutes be compared to the soup you cook in three hours?
"Not necessarily. Jiang said, "It depends on the level of the chef." A good chef can make a beautiful soup in half an hour, and a bad chef can make a soup in three days. ”
"You ......."
"I'm a good cook. Jiang said.
"Alright, alright. Dong Yulin stopped the two young people's verbal confrontation and said, "Jiang Lai Xiaoyou, then I will hand over this collection of poems to you." ”
"No problem. Jiang Lai readily agreed.
"Jiang Lai Xiaoyou, I have a reluctant ......"
"Since it's reluctant, then don't please. Jiang said: "You are embarrassed, I refuse to be embarrassed." ”
“......”
Yun Chengzhi couldn't wait to strangle this kid to death, and said: "Jiang Lai, Lao Dong has been a friend of his uncle for many years and is your elder, you listen to him first.......
"Then you can say it. Jiang came to look at Dong Yulin and said, "Your request is too much, I will still refuse you." ”
“....... That's right, Naruyuki bragged about your repair skills in front of me, so I wanted to take a closer look. I wonder if we have the honor to be able to watch from the scene when Jiang Lai Xiaoyou is repairing the books?"
"You have this honor. Jiang Lai nodded and said, "It's a trivial matter, I agreed." ”
"Thank you, little friend Jianglai. Dong Yulin said with a smile.
Xiao Qi really couldn't stand Jiang Lai's ugly face of "unstoppable", and said angrily: "Grandpa, what are you asking him to do?
"Xiao Qi, you don't understand. Dong Yulin shook his head and said: "Reading poetry is beautiful, and watching people and cultivating books is also appreciating beauty." Now, there aren't many people who can fix the book. ”
"Hmph, I don't think it's anything unusual. Xiao Qi looked disdainful.
"The elders speak, and the children don't interject. Jiang Lai said loudly.
"What do you say? Whose elder are you? Who do you say is a child?"
Jiang Lai pointed at Yun Chengzhi and asked, "What do you call him?"
"Grandpa Yun. ”
"He's my uncle. Jiang said.
“......”
"Okay, okay, give the poetry collection to Jiang Lai. Dong Yulin couldn't bear to see his pampered and arrogant little granddaughter deflated in front of Jiang Lai, and said: "Let's just watch Jiang Lai's little friend perform his stunts and rejuvenate this collection of poems infested by insects." ”
"Hmph. Xiao Qi snorted coldly again.
Jiang Lai took out the poetry collection from the box, which was a Song Dynasty engraved book "Tang Girl Fish Mystery Poem".
Yu Xuanji is a strange person, sexually intelligent, talented, good at reading, and especially poetry. Together with Li Ye, Xue Tao, and Liu Caichun, she is known as the four major female poets of the Tang Dynasty. and Wen Tingyun, the originator of the Huajian faction who wrote "It's not a thousand sails", has a New Year's friendship and sings a lot.
However, she is such a talented and beautiful woman, but she made up for Li Yi's concubine, and entered Chang'an Xianyiguan as a female Taoist priest because Li's wife could not tolerate it. What's worse is that he was also executed by Jingzhao Yin Wenzhang on the charge of beating a maidservant to death.
Although the name of Yu Xuanji has been passed down through the ages, but because it is not an official eunuch, the official history of the official text can not leave a piece of paper and a word, and his biographical information is scattered in the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Fumei's "Sanshui Xiaolu", the early Song Dynasty Sun Guangxian's "Northern Dream Trivia", the Yuan Dynasty Xin Wenfang's "Tang Caizi Biography" and other books.
In such an era, how unfair and unsympathetic is it to women?
The thin booklet that Jiang Lai was holding in his hand was the poem left by that amazing and brilliant woman thousands of years ago. Because it is a paved book, not a handwritten book of Yu Xuanji, or a handwritten book like Wen Tingyun, the collection value is not too high. However, this book inherits the woman's talent and works, and uses poetry to see love and sex, and through these poems, we can understand what kind of person she is...... Its literary value is also extremely high.
The sentence that is still popular today and is regarded as a model by countless girls, "easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare to have a heart" is from her poems.
Jiang Lai sighed softly and said, "If you are in this life, you should be a close friend." ”
"Jiang Lai's little friend also likes fish mysteries?" Dong Yulin had a good impression of Jiang Lai and asked out loud.
Jiang Lai shook his head and said, "I don't read much of her poems, but I am extremely sympathetic to her life. There is one thing that I remember deeply, Yu Xuanji climbed the south building of Chongzhenguan, saw the title of the new jinshi, and wrote a poem: Yunfeng is full of spring love, and the silver hook finger is born in the past. Self-hatred covers up the verses, and raises his head to envy the middle of the list. ”
In this poem, Yu Xuanji vividly expresses his ambition and the difficult living environment in which women are born, hating only his womanhood to cover up his poetic talent, and can only look up and envy the Jinshi inscription on the gold list. Nowadays, women can go to school, they can study, they can be named on the gold list, and they can express their opinions freely........"
Jiang Lai glanced at Xiao Qi, who was obsessed with listening, and said, "What a happy thing it is to be rude and scold." ”
