Chapter 256: The Cream Man in the Bookstore
"When you say that, I'm more inclined to be a hypocrisy. Cai Pengxi suddenly sighed, "There must be a demon when things go wrong, but he wants to be a family heirloom." ”
"I really can't say that the individual strokes of Qianlong's imperial inscription poems are unnatural, and everyone feels different after all. Yu Yao also sighed, "Although Pingshui met, I have done my best, he doesn't take the problem of 'Shiqu Baoji' seriously, and I don't have a problem." ”
"That's his problem. Cai Pengxi said, "However, if it is really fake, I don't know if this demon master is still alive." ”
"It's hard to say. However, the Tan family is known for their fake calligraphy and paintings, and Tan Xinding can't recognize ······"
The two chatted for a while, both sighing.
At noon, the two had dinner together in a private restaurant, and when they were eating, only Peng Xi spoke, "I heard the blue-skinned Tang Baleng on Tan Xinding's wrist, I heard the tutor talk about it." ”
"Oh, didn't Lang Gong give it to his daughter?"
"Exactly. Eventually, it reached him. Such an important family heirloom, he was so careless. ”
"He seemed depressed last night, so he drank too much. But today I don't see any frustration. ”
"It's also his luck, if he is picked up by others, I'm afraid he will hang. ”
Yu Yao smiled, "This is the ······ I met with Lin Fengcao."
Cai Pengxi and Lin Fengcao haven't met yet, but Yu Yao has already said that they are both in Yanjing and can be contacted at any time.
After the meal, the two separated, and Lao Man sent Yu Yao back to the hotel first.
Yu Yao doesn't plan to go out either, he will go to the Special Cultural Relics Survey Bureau in the suburbs tomorrow, and he will rest in the hotel in the afternoon.
Lin Fengcao never contacted Yu Yao, Yu Yao was afraid that he would be busy with class, so he didn't call until the evening and told him that the blue-skinned Tang Baling had been returned to its original owner. In this, it is natural to mention two sentences about the Tan family.
Lin Fengcao said, "I said, it turned out to be the prince of the Tan Group. ”
Yu Yao also talked about meeting Cai Pengxi and appreciating the "Flowing River Heavy Mountain Map" at Baorong Gallery.
"Oh, and such a miracle? I've been making time to visit the old man for the past two days. Lin Fengcao continued, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together and talk about it by the way." ”
Yu Yao also had to have dinner. Lin Fengcao mentioned a restaurant, there are many small bookstores near this hotel, so he often goes to visit and eats a few times, mainly cooking Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, and the taste is not bad. The environment is also relatively quiet, with private rooms, which are convenient for talking.
The two ordered a few special dishes, as well as a pot of the restaurant's home-brewed plum wine, chatted while eating, and ended at nine o'clock.
Out of the hotel, Lin Fengcao glanced in from the entrance of an alley next to him, "Hey, it's not closed yet?"
Yu Yao followed and took a look, a shop in the alley was still lit, it was a bookstore.
"Let's go, let's take a look, this shop is different, sometimes you can find some rare books. ”
Yu Yao nodded, and the two walked over together.
This shop is actually a courtyard house in the three west rooms of the alley, opened a door as a store. The south room and the main entrance are in front of a crossed alley.
The name of the store is "Shande Study", and the owner is a man in his fifties with a beard and a strong Jin accent.
"Teacher Lin, you didn't come here this weekend, but you came here so late today. What are you doing?"
"I happened to have dinner with my friends, and when I got out of the hotel, I saw that you haven't closed yet!" Lin Fengcao introduced with a smile, "This Boss Luo, this Mr. Yu." ”
"The two of you look at it casually. Boss Luo smiled.
This store is divided into three large areas, the innermost is mainly rare books, the middle is mainly some old books, but it is also a rare edition, and the outermost, that is, towards the door of the store, is mainly new editions.
Most of the types of books are cultural and artistic. Now the bookstore's business is not doing well, and the books in his store are actually collectible.
When Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao entered, there was still a "little white face" about forty years old in the store. Of course, his age can't be considered "young", but he looks too creamy, not only has white skin, but also looks delicate, and he dresses fashionably, which really doesn't match the old style in this store.
After Boss Luo said hello to Lin Fengcao and Yu Yao at the cash register, he came over with a set of books and put them on the cash register, "Boss, this set of books was supposed to be ten volumes, but it turned out to be two volumes less, and it was not complete." ”
This set of books is covered with a backing letter, and it is impossible to tell what kind of book it is.
"Not all?" Boss Luo opened the letter and took it out one by one to count.
Lin Fengcao was very familiar with Shande's study, and went over to shop after saying hello, while Yu Yao first stood near the cashier and took a general look, and when Boss Luo opened the letter, he didn't go far away, so he glanced at it a few times.
This is a set of "Seven Books Collection Notes", with the date of "Ming Xuande".
"It's eight volumes, one volume of general commentary, and seven volumes are divided into 'Seven Books of Martial Arts'. Boss Luo replied after reading it.
"In the "Seven Books Collection Annotations" officially engraved during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to what you said, there are also two volumes of 'essentials'. After the cream man finished speaking, he added another sentence, "Although this is engraved by the Republic of China, it should also be complete." ”
Boss Luo was not happy when he heard this, "How are you talking about this?
The cream man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, you're still not happy, I haven't asked the price yet, otherwise you have to be a Ming Dynasty official, and I will be shocked." ”
"I've been pouring rare books for years, so we can't pretend to understand. Boss Luo responded.
The cream man smiled and patted a book, "The official engraving of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty is very particular about paper, and it is still tough to this day, and the color is very yellow." Your paper is yellow and gray, and the cotton is less than fifty percent. ”
Yu Yao couldn't help but nod secretly. Although the so-called "yellow through gray" is not so easy to see, presumably Boss Luo should know, but how can he easily think that he is engraved by the Republic of China?
"This paper has passed hundreds of years, and there will be differences in different environments and preservation methods. "Boss Luo deserves to be very fast, and he has been doing business for a long time, so he is naturally familiar with the road.
The cream man shook his head slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, and then spoke faster, "On the last page of the first volume, there are two cases of typos; after the frontispiece of the second volume, there is no shying away from changing the words, and on the second page of the third volume, there is a wrong line······"
The cream man reported seven or eight mistakes in one go.
Boss Luo's eyes almost popped out when he heard this, and Yu Yao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
After a while, Boss Luo came to his senses, he completely put down the shelf, and arched his hand, "It's really a god! I won't say more, what you say is what you say." In addition, this set of books was only eight volumes when I came, and I really didn't see the two volumes you mentioned!"
The cream man waved his hand, "This set of Republic of China reproduced version is actually the least wrong, otherwise I wouldn't want to buy it." But with two volumes missing, it's not interesting. ”
