Everyone has their own little habits, and for used book collectors, there are many such and that controls, such as "Lu Xun Control", "Zhang Ailing Control", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Control", "Dream of Red Mansions Control" and so on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

That's right, Lin Yi's love for "Golden Bottle Plum" is higher than many ancient literary books, not to mention anything else, just the old man Yue Han's full copy of Qilu's version of "Golden Bottle Plum" has always made him unforgettable, and he even dreamed of this book.

In fact, everyone has a unique habit, there is a source, Lin Yi's source should be six years ago, when he was still in high school, when he visited a booksstall, he spent 45 yuan to buy a set of 3 volumes of the Hong Kong version of "Golden Bottle Plum", which was issued by Hong Kong Bright Book Company, known as "The Real Golden Bottle Plum", and the typesetting font and paper were miserable.

At that time, Lin Yi's behavior was still a "young stumble". After buying it, he swallowed it in one go. For a long time, school teachers often taught us to study hard and make progress every day, and said that we should not read pornographic novels and erotic books, and "Golden Vase Plum" is one of the big poisonous weeds; But today's young people are precocious, the more you forbid, the more curious they are, plus the domestic "physiological and health class" is simply a decoration, ignorance and curiosity in that aspect overcame everything. Therefore, holding "Golden Vase Plum" makes a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy not in a hurry?

The so-called "True Golden Bottle Plum", that is, a clean book with vertical traditional characters, is said to have deleted more than 12,000 words. More than the clean version of the People's Literature Publishing House has been deleted. It can be said that the word "real book" has hurt Lin Yi, and a set of books has not found a few words that can make people's "beast blood boil" and "small universe explosion".

In fact, the mystery of "Golden Vase Plum" has been around for a long time, not to mention that it was banned and banned as a "banned book" in the Ming and Qing dynasties, even in the period when the literary style of the Republic of China was opened, it still could not be put on the table. The most bizarre thing is that during the Cultural Revolution, a very small number of thread-bound books were produced at that time, and they belonged to the same "special supply" as seasonal vegetables and fruits, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. Only the top leaders at the provincial and ministerial levels and the provincial military level have the right to read this book. The Shanghai Library also allows only university professors of liberal arts to read the book in person. The fact that comrades at these two levels can read this book is still the "grace" of the supreme leader. Ordinary people have only heard of such a "yellow book" in China, but they have never seen it. As a result, "The Golden Vase of Plums" is full of mystery and seduction. So much so that Lin Yi saved 45 yuan at a young age to buy this set of "Pit Dad's" "Real Golden Vase Plum".

Then two years passed, Lin Yi graduated from high school, and at this time, he could be regarded as an "adult", and adults could do a lot of things that adults could do, such as flipping through "Big Characters and Foot Golden Plum Bottles" through other means, that is to say, Lin Yi swallowed the forbidden fruit and fulfilled his curious dream.

After reading the whole book, Lin Yi felt strange that this book did not bring sexual impulse to himself, a beautiful guy, at all, but brought him real reading pleasure and rich enlightenment. Lin Yi has always believed that "The Golden Plum Bottle" is a masterpiece of classical fiction that can be compared with "Dream of Red Mansions".

On the surface, "The Golden Vase of Plums" shows the Northern Song Dynasty, but in fact it is a metaphor for the humble and filthy, unruly, snobbish, and trivial details of the civil society of the Ming Dynasty, which profoundly reflects all aspects of urban life in the Ming Dynasty, creates many classic characters, and reveals the theme of life karma and fate.

Of course, there are also a lot of erotic and erotic descriptions in "Golden Vase Plum", however, Lin Yi feels that this is not the mainstream. Some details of the erotic depiction of "Golden Vase Plum" have been deleted, which really affects the shaping of the characters' personalities. For example, writing that Ximenqing plays with women writes about the obscenity and shamelessness of this bully; wrote about Pan Jinlian's bed, and wrote about this woman's sass; wrote about Li Bei'er and Ximen Qing's affair, which shaped this woman's inferiority; wrote about Chunmei's room technique, wrote about this woman's wit, etc. These things were removed, of course, affecting the full appreciation of the work. However, in general, these are just branches, and if they are deleted, they will be deleted. Even the clean "The Real Golden Plum Bottle" and "The Words of the Golden Plum Bottle" do not affect the delicacy and splendorism of the mainstream description of this novel.

In short, "Golden Vase Plum" is a big book, writing about the state of the world and people, and the hearts of the people in the world are first-class, and the impact on Lin Yi is very profound. It is precisely because of this that Lin Yi has been sparing no effort in the collection of editions of this book, it was good to say that he had no money before, but now he has a little bulge in his pocket, and he no longer considers the specific price of the book, but good books are hard to find, sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them, so it depends on the "chance" between you and the book.

At this moment, looking at the book in his hand, Lin Yi didn't know if the "opportunity" between himself and this book had arrived.

The hardcover book was heavy in my hand, and I saw that it had a big red cover, and the gilded characters --- "The Complete Book of Words of the Golden Bottle and Plum", and the words "Treasured Edition" and "1---6 volumes were bound together" next to it.

Traditional Chinese characters, from left to right, turn the title page, it is marked, "one to one hundred back", "price 188.00 yuan". Turn the page again, but it's the copyright page.

Edition: 1st edition in August 1982, 3rd edition in August 1993, 15th printing in 2001.

Printer: B1, 4th Floor, Waterfront Industrial Building, No. 6 Kwun Wing Yip Street, Kowloon, Meiya Printing Co., Ltd.

Publisher: 2nd Floor, Hang Yi Yu Building, 4 Flamingo Garden East, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Hong Kong Taiping Book Company.

Seeing this, Lin Yi understood that this hardcover "Words of the Golden Vase Plum" was the legendary version of the "Taiping Bookstore". In the mainland, there are many pirated editions of this version, which are divided into six paperbacks, and three hardcover volumes are the most, and some are sold on the used book network, and the price is basically between 400 and 600 yuan, and the price of some is as high as 1,000 yuan, and some are slightly lower at about 60 to 80 yuan.

But like this kind of hardcover one-volume, Lin Yi has seen it for the first time. Thinking about it, since I saw such a book in Macau, it probably wouldn't be a pirated book, I looked through the pages and looked carefully, only to see that the handwriting inside was as small as a grain of rice, and there were illustrations of the golden bottle plum in Chongzhen's version, and I tried to read a few paragraphs, basically there were no typos, and the paper and binding were also quite good, at least much better than those ordinary pirated books.

Although Lin Yi has a lot of old books, he doesn't dare to make up his mind whether this book is the original or pirated, but no matter what, he is moved and wants to keep this book for himself.

No way, as a bookworm who likes to buy old books, as long as you see the book you like, you will inevitably feel itchy, especially when you hold that book in your hand, you are even more reluctant to put it down.

At this time, Lin Yi took the book and touched it, read and looked, and his heart fluctuated, the reason is very simple, this book was hidden by the thin old man, which means that people discovered this book first, and they also liked this book.

Lin Yi has also encountered such a situation before, he worked hard to find a book, because the boss was not there, so he hid it, but the next day he came over to find that the book was gone, and it had been sold by others, the kind of loss was very uncomfortable, like someone cutting off the flesh of his heart with a knife, so that he couldn't eat for several days, couldn't sleep well, and always thought about the lost book.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yi hesitated, people who love books like their lives, of course, can understand the sadness and frustration of others after losing their books.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", after reading so many books, Lin Yi still understands this truth.

So gritting his teeth and enduring the feeling of cutting flesh in his heart, Lin Yi reluctantly stuffed the "Golden Vase Plum" back to the place where it was originally hidden.

……

Just when Lin Yi put the book back in place and hid it, he saw a burst of laughter, but it was Ah Shuibo, the owner of this bookstore, who came back.

Ah Shuibo, 63 years old, is in good spirits, wears a sun hat with the words "Welcome to Macao for a day trip" and a small red flag in his hand, and looks like he is making a temporary cameo appearance as a tour guide.

In fact, it is true that it is difficult to do business in Macau bookstores, and Ah Shuibo used to open bookstores to rent books, and martial arts, romance, comic books, and doll books are all very good to rent and sell...... However, with the popularization of computers and mobile phones, people rent books and read less and less, and in the end, there is no one at all. So Ah Shuibo had a thought, changed the "rented bookstore" to "used bookstore", and made a living by selling some of the previous inventory.

At first, he made a little money, but the old books were of good quality, and there were not many valuable books after all, and they were gone when they were sold out, and the economy of Macau was sluggish at that time, so the business of his used bookstore plummeted.

In order to make a living, Ah Shui Bo went out to find odd jobs to do, just at this time the mainland to support Macao's economic development, the development of Macao's tourism industry, the mainland to travel to Macao more and more, the tour guide is not enough, Ah Shui Bo is also the "old man" in this area, the various scenic spots can not be more familiar, so he was lucky to become an "amateur tour guide", as long as you bring one or two teams a day, you can earn seven or eight hundred patacas, which is much better than selling books.

Ah Shuibo was in a very happy mood today, as soon as he entered the door, he smiled heartily and said to his wife who was doing embroidery: "I make a lot of money today, I will take a tour group, and I will tip a lot. (I made a lot of money today, I picked up a tour group and gave me a lot of tips, and now the mainlanders are really getting richer.) ）”

"Look at the way you look, someone is polite, and the mi-made system is like an old thin road. (Look at your smug look, there are guests here, don't look like an old child.) The woman reminded him.

Ah Shuibo seemed to have just seen Lin Yi, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you from the mainland?" ”

Lin Yi was surprised, because the other party spoke Mandarin this time. (To be continued.) )
