Chapter 377. at swords' points

Since ancient times, "there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts", coupled with the contempt of literati, on many occasions, the jealousy of literati will make many people do some very angry things. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention anything else, the most in the cultural circle is the pen and ink lawsuits, whether it is in newspapers and magazines, or in the online media, you come and go, everyone is happy.

However, at a large-scale exhibition of ancient books like the one in front of us, someone actually stands up and takes the initiative to provoke the organizers, and is the collector of these ancient books on display, then the meaning is unusual.

If this person who stands up is just an ordinary reader, or an ordinary audience watching the exhibition, then it is easy to say that it would be good to let the security comrades invite him out, but this person who stands up is very famous and famous, he is a rare book collector in Jiangning--- descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Zijun.

Speaking of the Zhu family in Jiangning, we have to mention the world-famous first pavilion of book collection--- "Tianyi Pavilion".

The reason why "Tianyi Pavilion" has become today's Tianyi Pavilion is not only due to the arduous perseverance of the thirteenth generation of Fan's family, but also thanks to the generous donations of a group of famous book collectors in Jiangning. Among them, there is an old man with a white beard and long beard, clear and sparse, and elegant temperament, who has made a decisive contribution to the improvement of the quality of Tianyi Pavilion's collections, and he is Zhu Zanqing, a well-known bibliophile in the collection circles of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the 20---th century.

It is said that Zhu Zanqing has loved reading since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was extremely concerned about the circulation of book collections. At the same time, he took advantage of his work to travel back and forth between Hangzhou and Shanghai to buy the books he needed.

Unlike ordinary bibliophiles, who specialize in the collection of the four collections of the "Subset of Classics and History", Zhu Zanqing often has a unique way and insight in acquiring books. He has a wide range of collections, including manuscripts of famous works, reading notes, chronicles, operas, religion, folk customs, phonology, etc., and his highlights are frequent. His collection of books, many rare books and rare books, has attracted the attention of the world, which is of course the result of Mr. Zhu's painstaking efforts to collect money. When he encountered a shortage of money and a classic book that was difficult to give up, he would rather sell his belongings than give up, so people laughed at him as a bookworm.

One of the most "favorable" "treasures" in Zhu Zanqing's collection is the manuscript of Vance Tong's "Ming History Manuscript". In 1934, Sha Menghai learned that the people of Henan had a "Ming History Manuscript" to sell, and ran among the collectors in Yongshang to spread the news. At that time, Ningbo's famous Tibetan Tarsus Room and Worm Lodge were both abandoned due to high prices. In the end, Zhu Zanqing borrowed money and scraped together 900 silver yuan to buy the book. Later, he purchased the manuscript of Huang Zongxi's "Ming Copy", and he put the two books into a bookcase, calling it "Juzhang Shuangbi" (Juzhang is the ancient place name of Ningbo), and cherished it. Subsequently, the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" was identified by many famous scholars, bibliographers and calligraphers, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the manuscript of Vance Sitong. In this book, Wan's selection, trade-offs, divisions, and arrangements in the process of compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty are all clearly visible, so it has the nature of an important base for the Qing revision of the History of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that this "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" has rare historical value and is precious.

It is also worth mentioning Gu Xiao's "Notes on Etiquette". Jia Lin Yunbao, a bookrunner, often went to Zhu's house to "sell" some ancient books and antiques to Zhu Zanqing. One day in 1944, Lin Yunbao brought Zhu Zanqing the 21st year of Wanli's supervised version of the "Commentary on Etiquette", 17 volumes, 6 volumes, with a large number of proofreading inscriptions, and the seals of "Si Shi Zhai" and "Gu Guangqi Yin". It turned out that this was the school book of Gu Guangqi, the most prestigious school surveyor in the Qianjia period. Huang Bagu School has always been the object of bibliophiles, and its literature and cultural relics are no less valuable than the Song Dynasty.

However, Lin Yunbao's asking price was frighteningly high. In order to get Gu Xiao's "Etiquette Notes", Zhu Zanqing lasted half a month, six or seven times back and forth, and sold 6,000 yuan with "Ningbo Mansion Chronicles", "Siming Six Chronicles", "Fenghua County Chronicles", "Zhenhai County Chronicles", "Yuyao County Chronicles", etc., and endured the pain to put the real estate out of the pawn, and also put on a big fur jacket, and made a comeback banknote of 7,000 yuan, and Yi Gu School six volumes, and the matter was finally completed.

Compared with the unremitting efforts to collect books, Zhu Zanqing's family lives quite frugally, and most of his income is used to acquire book collections. From the collection of hundreds of thousands of volumes at its peak, Zhu Zanqing became an accomplished bibliophile, bibliographer, collector of cultural relics and connoisseur in eastern Zhejiang.

But these are nothing, what made the Zhu family become a famous family in the Tibetan world is that when Mr. Zhu is dying, he will never forget the books and cultural relics he spent his life collecting and collecting, and the final destination of these collections has become the most concerned thing before his death. And in the end, he actually donated all these treasures to the "Tianyi Pavilion".

At present, Tianyi Pavilion collection of 300,000 volumes of ancient books, one-third from Mr. Zhu Zanqing's donation, in addition, Mr. Zhu Zanqing also donated more than 1,700 pieces of calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, antiques and other cultural relics to Tianyi Pavilion, it can be said that the Zhu family has actually achieved today's "Tianyi Pavilion", without the generosity of the Zhu family, there is no "Tianyi Pavilion" now.

Because of this, as a descendant of the Zhu family, he has always been extremely respected by the cultural circles, the ancient book circles, and the collection circles. The Zhu family represents the highest glory in the Tibetan world, as well as selflessness and justice.

At this moment, if no one is qualified to stand up and make irresponsible remarks about this exhibition, but the people of the Zhu family can, and Zhu Zijun who stands up can --- just because he is a member of the Zhu family.

……

Lin Yi didn't know Zhu Zijun who was standing up in front of him, and even if he saw him for the first time, he could be sure that he had no grievances with this person, but he didn't know why the other party wanted to provoke him like this.

Zhu Zijun also looked at Lin Yi, yes, he had no grievances with Lin Yi, but he knew the dirty things that this young man was doing behind his back. Since ancient times, he has been extremely strict with his family education, and he is even more jealous and hateful about things that cannot be seen in the Tibetan world, so when everyone is silent, or pretending to be deaf and dumb, he decisively stands up and wants to judge Lin Yi with justice.

"Mr. Lin, is it? I'm sorry, it may be very inappropriate for me to stand up like this, after all, this is a large-scale ancient book exhibition, and for many book lovers, it is a rare opportunity to see rare and ancient books--- but I still have to stand up, not to disrupt the situation, not to target you, I just want to find out a little bit--- these books, is it yours? Zhu Zijun spoke sharply and asked loudly.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't know why this gentleman asked like this?" ”

"I'm not a gentleman, my surname is Zhu, Jiangning Zhu's family!" Zhu Zijun said proudly. Anyone who knows his details thinks that he does have this kind of pride.

"The reason why I asked this question is because I got a message that this collection of books belongs to Professor Jiang Qingping, and Professor Jiang has only one daughter, just ask, such a large scale of rare books can be said to be priceless, who would easily hand them over to a nanny, and this nanny coincidentally sold them for 800,000 yuan? Isn't this kind of story very mysterious, very evil, very unreasonable? ”

After hearing this, Lin Yi understood, it turned out that the reason was here. Come to think of it, it's hard to believe that such a "big luck" thing is said to anyone.

"How shall I explain this to you, Mr. Zhu; I know that many people are very skeptical about this, but I have a clear conscience, worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, this batch of books is indeed bought by me for 800,000 yuan, and it is indeed the collection of Mr. Jiang, I have never met him before, if I say why I can inherit these books from him, then I can only say two words--- chance! ”

Zhu Zijun smiled, "Chance? It's inevitably a little too subtle. Of course, I also believe that people and people are fateful, and people and books are also fateful, but obviously, it is not you who have more fate with these books, but the real owner of these books---"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zijun raised his voice and said: "Here is the real heir of this batch of books, Professor Jiang Qingping's daughter, Ms. Jiang Yuhan!" ”

As he spoke, he saw a middle-aged woman, accompanied by a foreigner man, walking on the stage together.

For a time, the whole scene was tense. (To be continued.) )
