0029 Longmen Rubbing
Meng Zhuang said, "Let's get your affairs done." ”
Meng Zhuang went out, and Yan Jingzhou called the other people: "Let's go, go and move the books." ”
In Meng Zhuang's study, when they saw this, the other three people were really stunned. The reason is that the house of the Meng Zhuang family is just a little big from the outside, but when you enter it, you can smell of books everywhere.
It is indeed very similar to the layout of Yan Jingzhou's house. But sometimes it's completely different. The two families are basically the same in terms of house layout and furniture, but the difference lies in the details:
Yan Jingzhou's home is hung with home and everything, cross-stitch and the like. Meng Zhuang's home is calligraphy and painting. Although Mei Yu and the three of them can't see whose work it is, judging from the situation that there are new and old, it should be a masterpiece and the owner's own work.
What really surprised them was the study. There are only three rooms on the second floor, and the study occupies two-thirds of the area, about more than 100 square meters, except for a small part of the open tables and chairs, which are full of books.
Yan Jingzhou said that there were more than 10,000 copies before, but in fact, I am afraid that there is more than that.
However, Mei Yu only took one book and stopped, she was very unhappy, because the book was covered with dust, and she obviously hadn't taken care of it for a long time. Although I knew it before I came, I still felt unbearable when I saw it.
It's just that this is someone else's house, even if she likes books, she can't make irresponsible remarks about other people's property.
Yan Jingzhou seemed to see through Mei Yu's thoughts, and she called Meng Zhuang: "Invite us to dinner." It's almost the New Year, and we'll help you clean up. How about it, three beautiful girls help you do the cleaning, be happy. ”
Meng Zhuang replied: "I'm very happy, but what I'm best at is ordering takeout in addition to boiled water." ”
Of course, the three of them didn't complain, Meng Zhuang was originally joking, but it was not interesting for them to cooperate so much. Meng Zhuang said: "In return, you can pick two books you like on the shelf. ”
Xin Lingling shyly asked: "Longmen Tuobei, can you lend it to me?" ”
Meng Zhuang hesitated, but agreed. He stood up: "Come with me." ”
If the Longmen Monument is not placed in the study, where will it be placed? Yan Jingzhou thinks that he is also very familiar with the Meng Zhuang family, is there any other study besides this study? She couldn't have imagined it.
However, the unexpected is yet to come.
There is also a hut behind the main house, about 40 square meters, which is used to put some miscellaneous items.
Because the layout of the houses of the two families is almost identical, Yan Jingzhou is no stranger to this place. But thinking that Meng Zhuang actually put the precious rubbing here, not to mention Mei Yu and Xin Lingling, even Yan Jingzhou was a little angry.
However, the mystery of Meng Zhuang's family is far beyond the expectations of the three girls.
There is a door in the corner on the left side of the utility room, because the left side of the utility room is connected to the main house, so Yan Jingzhou always thought that this door was used to enter and exit the main house.
But now that Meng Zhuang has opened it, it turned out to be a basement.
What surprised her even more was that the basement, which she had never known, was as large as the above-ground part, and became a whole with the above-ground house. And the entire basement is completely an underground library. To be precise, it should be the library of the past, and there are not many books on the shelves anymore. But it can also be seen that it was once full of books.
Yan Jingzhou remembered: When Meng Zhuang's family moved, they pulled away several truckloads of things, probably the books that were originally stored here.
It is not surprising that this is Meng Zhuang's hometown, but not his father's hometown.
Meng Zhuang's father was an educated youth, and after coming down here, he met his mother and became a wealthy man. Later, he did not catch the trend and returned to the city, but became a primary school teacher in the village. But he's very knowledgeable, so he's also studying cultural things. Later, it seemed that there was something that needed him, and he decided to go over after receiving invitations several times.
The shelves in the first and second rows of the library are also full of various materials, and the Longmen Rubbing Tablet is also among them.
Meng Zhuang carefully took it down and handed it to Xin Lingling, she was cramped and didn't dare to stretch out her hand, and asked Meng Zhuang: "Don't you need to wear gloves or anything?" ”
Meng Zhuang immediately smiled and told her, "It's not precious enough to be so cautious. ”
Xin Lingling took the rubbing book excitedly, sat at the desk and looked at it seriously. Mei Yu watched with her, and Yan Jingzhou and Mei Yu couldn't understand it, so they went to look through the bookshelf.
But the things on the shelves are also unintelligible. The two got bored and went back to work in the study on the second floor.
Mei Yu stood in front of the bookshelf in the corner for some time, and when she heard a voice coming, she hurriedly put the book back in the book. Seeing that the person who came was Meng Zhuang, his face was red and he was about to drip blood.
Meng Zhuang immediately understood and turned away from her sight.
But Yan Jingzhou didn't do it, she got out from behind the bookshelf, and went over to Mei Yu and took out the book she had just read: ""Cutting the Lantern", I like it too." ”
Mei Yu looked at Yan Jingzhou, in fact, she was seeing that Meng Zhuang was still there. didn't see Meng Zhuang's figure, she covered her face and lowered her voice and said, "What should I do, how can I see people." ”
Yan Jingzhou comforted her: "Maybe he doesn't know." ”
This is obviously too fake, Mei Yu said: "How is it possible, he obviously came over to have something, and then ...... That reaction says it all, doesn't it! ”
Yan Jingzhou's mind turned, and once again thought of a reason to comfort her: "Aren't books just for people to see, you read them with the glasses of literary discussion, what is there to be ashamed of." ”
Mei Yu is not a fool, she glared at Yan Jingzhou: "No wonder you always look so happy." ”
Yan Jingzhou said angrily: "Hey, are you still human, I tried so hard to comfort you." Besides, Meng Zhuang is not the same as the vulgar man you know, even if you watch the movie in front of him, he won't feel anything. ”
Mei Yu still couldn't let go, and said to Yan Jingzhou: "Forget it, I'll wait for you at your house." ”
Yan Jingzhou pulled her and called Meng Zhuang over: "Brother Meng Zhuang, you still read this kind of book." ”
As smart as Meng Zhuang, of course, he immediately understood what Yan Jingzhou meant, and he replied: "This book is quite well written, and it has a considerable status in the literary and archaeological circles. ”
The word decadence was written on Meng Zhuang's face, which was neither serious nor lighthearted.
This kind of Meng Zhuang makes people feel that he doesn't even have the mood to laugh at others. Yan Jingzhou also took the opportunity to say to Meiyu: "See." He probably just didn't want to talk to people at all. ”
Mei Yu wouldn't believe it, of course, but she also began to have this comfort: maybe he really just didn't want to talk. Because he seems to be a person who doesn't get along very well, this reason is really reasonable.
