Walking into Ruyi Fang was a middle-aged woman of about fifty, but her hair was gray, and she was still very boring, wearing an ordinary flower shirt that could not be more ordinary, and black wide-legged pants underneath, looking a little nondescript, carrying a black leather bag in her hand.

The bag is also a little old, it looks very old, and it is a little dirty, and there are obvious traces of mud in the cracks of the bag.

The main reason why Yang Kang concluded that she broke into it by mistake was that this person definitely did not look like a person who wanted to buy antiques, and at the same time, he was also sure that this person would not spend thousands of yuan to buy a vase with only an ornamental price.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be a little scared, her eyes were dodgy, her eyes fell on the shelves of their family's Duobao Pavilion, she seemed to be a little curious, and even she had to reach out and touch it first, but she still didn't dare to touch it after all.

"Auntie, what do you want to see?" No matter what, Yang Kang still greeted him very politely.

"Oh? Oh? Being greeted by him like this, the middle-aged woman instantly came back to her senses, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

"Auntie, what do you want to buy?" Yang Kang asked again.

"The owner...... I...... Your home...... Do you receive something? The middle-aged woman stammered.

"Huh?" Yang Kang was stunned for a moment, and remembered that almost all antique shops pù wrote that gold, silver, and jade were recycled at a high price, and there were even people who collected old rubbings or something.

Like the rubbings of the "Taiyin Treasure Book" in Feng Xiucai's hand, if it really came from the Yin Shang Ancient Tomb, and they really only rubbed three copies. Well, it's worth a lot of money.

If it weren't for knowing that Feng Xiucai didn't care about them, and that thing was very important for him to study the "Taiyin Treasure Book", Yang Kang was embarrassed to ask him for it.

"What do you have?" Yang Kang asked, remembering the old man who sold the Doucai flower pattern teacup in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty last time, he was instantly happy, maybe he could pick up a leak today?

The middle-aged woman carefully placed the broken leather bag on the table, then opened it and took out the contents of a plastic bag from inside.

Yang Kang didn't move, just looked at her. Waiting for her to open the plastic bag too. Yang Kang was suddenly a little confused.

It was an old book, and he could tell at a glance that it was not a printed rare copy, but a genuine handwritten manuscript. On the old dark blue cover. There are four big characters written uprightly - "Fengyue Baojian". There are also a number of crimson collector's seals.

Treasure of the Wind and Moon? Treasure of the Wind and Moon? A manuscript of Dream of Red Mansions?

At this moment, Yang Kang was really excited, and he hurriedly touched the ancient book carefully. Open it carefully.

But then, Yang Kang was a little stunned, this manuscript started from the fifth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", it was when Jia Baoyu sleepwalked in the fantasy realm, and finally the fifteenth time, after Qin Keqing's death, Qin Zhong had an affair with the little nun in the steamed bun nunnery, and was broken by Jia Baoyu......

Yang Kang carefully flipped through the pages and found that even in it there were some collection seals, as well as some people's instructions and annotations.

There are several famous manuscripts of the Dream of Red Mansions, the most famous of which is the Jiaxu Edition, which is also known as the Fat Yan Zhai Reappraisal Edition.

In addition, there are Yi Mao Ben, Gengchen Ben, Mengfu Ben, Qi Ben, Jia Chen Ben, Shu Xu Ben, Dream Manuscript and so on, among which the Dream Manuscript was found in the Imperial Capital in 1959, which was once collected by the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Social Sciences, and is now collected in the National Museum.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is, which manuscript does this volume in his hand belong to?

While thinking about it, Yang Kang couldn't help but use the Taiyin Treasure Book, he could clearly feel the Taiyin Treasure Book vibrate slightly, and there seemed to be a layer of soft light floating on his eyes, and then he saw that on the old book, the treasure light emanated, extremely rich.

"It's weird!" Yang Kang frowned slightly, if it was an ordinary manuscript, it shouldn't have such a rich treasure light? Unless it is the Jiazhu version, that is, the re-evaluation of the fat inkstone, however, the re-evaluation of the fat inkstone is extant sixteen times, including one to eight times, including the five to fifteen times in his hand. Moreover, although this old book has been altered, increased and subtracted a lot, it is obviously not a re-evaluation of Fat Yan Zhai.

The thing is true, but Yang Kang is suspicious, which manuscript does this belong to, several famous manuscripts of the Red Chamber have been taken out by him to confirm one by one, and in the end he found that none of them seem to be ......

Yang Kang thought about it as he flipped through the old book again, this time, he specifically looked at some collection seals, but the collection seals on this old book were almost incomparable with the dream manuscripts collected by the National Museum, and even more so with the famous Jiazhu book. And what's worse is that most of them are not celebrities, and he doesn't even have any impression in his mind.

"Cao Mengruan?" Yang Kang thought for a moment, "This name seems familiar?" Where have you seen it? ”

This is one of the seals in the collection of the old book, and it is the only one that he has some impression of.

After thinking about it seriously, Yang Kangyang slapped himself with his hand, fuck, Guo Fatzi is right, he shouldn't read any novels and books if he is fine, what games should he play in the world, he should read more historical documents, study and study antique knowledge......

Isn't this dream Ruan the word of Old Master Cao, relying on it?

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged woman kept looking at Yang Kang nervously. Seeing him flipping through the old book repeatedly, she didn't dare to disturb it, just watched.

However, after watching it several times, this little boss actually raised his hand and slapped himself, and the middle-aged woman who watched it was a little crying and laughing - this boss can't be wrong, right? It's really a pity to see people look handsome.

Yang Kang ignored the middle-aged woman, and was suspicious in his heart - the middle-aged woman thought he was sick, and she slapped herself in the face.

And at this time, he suspected that Old Master Cao was sick, so what seal did he put on his manuscript? Do you show yourself to be literate?

Although there is this possibility, Yang Kang still feels that Cao Xueqin should not do such a thing, so can this old book be Cao Xueqin's manuscript? When he wrote the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions"? Only then will he put his seal on it.

The Jiazhu version of Zài that is preserved today is not Cao Xueqin's manuscript, but a manuscript of someone else.

However, when Master Cao wrote a book and wrote a biography, he naturally needed to write a manuscript, and there was no computer at that time, so he could only write on paper.

Cao Xueqin's birth year is probably 1715 to 1763, while the famous Jiazhu book is 1754, that is, when Cao Xueqin was still alive, the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" has been circulated and has a great reputation, so it is very likely that his original manuscript was collected by someone with a heart, bound into a book, and collected.

Yes, it should be like this, Yang Kang thought of this, and was almost certain that this was Cao Xueqin's manuscript, not a manuscript.

"Auntie, how much do you sell this thing for?" Yang Kang asked tentatively.

"Huh?" The middle-aged aunt was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Boss, 10,000 yuan...... Can it not? ”

10,000 yuan? Yang Kang was a little suspicious, he heard it right, if this is really Cao Xueqin's manuscript, it is not easy, if it is known by those people in the red school, the door of his Ruyi Fang will be trampled on.

Seeing that Yang Kang didn't speak, the middle-aged aunt was a little embarrassed again, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

"Why don't you look at it?" The middle-aged aunt said busily.

"No, no, no, 10,000 yuan, I'll give it to you, I won't pay you back." Yang Kang said, immediately carefully put the old book in the drawer of the desk, then turned on the computer, printed out a handicraft resale agreement, handed it to the middle-aged woman, asked her to sign it and give it to him.

The middle-aged aunt's surname is Li, called Li Sandi, an ordinary name that can't be in the ordinary.

Then, Yang Kang collected the sale agreement, took out 10,000 cash from the drawer under the desk, and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

Looking at the whole pile of red banknotes, the middle-aged aunt named Li Sandi was instantly excited, she carefully counted three times, and one of them was wrong, so she counted it again, and Yang Kang was a little anxious for her.

Then, she carefully wrapped the money in the plastic bag that had originally contained the book, and placed it in the black leather bag.

"Auntie, why is your surname Li?" Yang Kang saw that the transaction was completed, and he was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" The middle-aged aunt didn't understand why Yang Kang asked this question, but still said, "I don't have a surname Li, what can I have a surname?" You're a funny little boss. Touching the thick pile of banknotes, Li Sandi's mood was also very good.

"I thought your surname was Cao?" Yang Kang was instantly disappointed, he originally thought that this middle-aged aunt might be Cao Xueqin's descendant. The only person who is likely to have preserved Cao Xueqin's manuscript should be a descendant of the Cao family.

"Huh?" Li Sandi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she said, "Boss, do you still know fortune telling?" My man's surname is Cao. ”

Yang Kang wanted to slap himself again, he was really confused today, such a thing would naturally not be a dowry for his daughter to leave the cabinet, if it was a family heirloom, it should also be a man's.

"Who are you Cao Zhengguo?" Yang Kang asked, this name also appeared many times on the manuscript of the old book, and it was very deceitful - this person was probably looking for psychological comfort, holding the seal and stamping it randomly, purely messy.

Li Sandi thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "That's my man's grandfather, who has been dead for many years." ”

Yang Kang thought about it, but he could also understand that Cao Xueqin was a well-educated Confucian, can he guarantee that future generations are also literate people, God knows what kind of mentality this Cao Zhengguo has in order to take the seal of his name and stamp it around?

"What about the Shiraishi Sanren?" Yang Kang asked again, this seal appeared a total of five times, this should be an alias, however, he couldn't remember which big collector called this name at the end of the Qing Dynasty. (To be continued......)
