Talented Young Lady

"Do you have a complete set of books?" Lu Li put down the book of Ming Dynasty unification annals, and put out his hand to point on the Warring States policy of Qing Dynasty.

Although it is a question, but the tone is very affirmative.

I said, "yes, but I can't sell it. If you want to see it, I can lend it to you."

"Borrow..." Lu Li made a drag sound with a smile.

I nodded and said, "we can find a place. For example, now, you can watch it. I will accompany you. After watching, I will take it back."

With that, I took out the stack that I copied last night from my backpack and pushed it to him and said, "are you interested in some of the records in it? If it's not convenient to meet, I can give you a copy. "

Lu Li's eyebrows were raised higher, and his fingers tapped on the book.

My face did not feel a little red, murmured: "you see, I have just been cheated 40000, I am not saying you It's just that I don't have much anymore. "

Among the books left by my grandfather, there are 167 ancient books. In addition to this set of Warring States policy and the unified annals of the Ming Dynasty, there are also three sets and some isolated books.

The price Lu Li told me is of course very valuable, but in terms of quantity, it can't compare with the library, even less than one tenth of Gu Mingyuan's collection.

Now it is impossible for me to enter the library of Normal University, and the ancient books library in Shencheng library will not be opened to me.

I'm afraid I'll have very little chance to see this kind of book which has precipitated the shadow of history in the future.

Besides, I'm not short of money now. Why sell?

Lu Li picked up my stack of transcripts, read a few pages and said, "your handwriting is very beautiful. You practiced it since childhood?"

"Yes, at the age of seven." I laughed and said, "the first time I learned to write, I took the brush and wrote in traditional style."

"Look at your font, it should be the earliest practice to follow Yan's style. Well, it started with Yan Gong's original works?" Lu Li looked at the third page carefully, with a trace of uncertainty.

I laughed and shook my head: "it's a rubbings, rubbings of Yan Gong's inscriptions."

"Is there any more?" Lu Li's eyes lit up and asked.

I shook my head and whispered, "no, I just practiced with you when I was a child. Later, I practiced by myself."

After Gu Mingyuan's death, I have never seen those calligraphy again, but after practicing for six years under the guidance of Gu Mingyuan's hands, those fonts have been deeply rooted in my blood, and I can't forget them.

And because no longer follow the practice, I will have some of my own experience in writing, slowly, also have their own character.

Of course, this understanding was reached after I had the money to start buying books and went to the library to check a lot of modern paintings and calligraphy collections.

This is also the reason why I dare to give Lu Li a copy proposal.

I am confident that my transcripts, at least, will not make mistakes in the content, but will also be pleasing to the eye.

"As a child?" Lu Li slowly turned over a page and said, "have you read many rare books? I'm not talking about the library of Normal University. "

I took an astringent smile and said: "a long time ago, some of them have forgotten almost."

At that time, Gu Mingyuan taught me how to practice calligraphy, and also made me recite some ancient books. However, most of them focused on some isolated books, such as the Warring States strategy and the Han Dynasty strategy, which were always dozens of books. I didn't let me recite those books at the same time.

I still keep this habit in these years, so I still remember them. But these big ones were too young to understand at that time, so they couldn't remember much. Now they are almost forgotten.

Even if I have to study those documents, I can't say that I want to see the Warring States policy in Qing dynasty like Lu Li, just to know the differences.

Gu Mingyuan once said that the greatest function of these rare books is here. Those ancient books which have been preserved for hundreds of years have rich historical materials. Moreover, for those that have not been recorded in the official history or have been lost in the long river of history, a single copy can find clues, and then restore some historical truth.

Every ancient book is a treasure for those who study history.

But judging from the books I have read in the past year, today's society pays more attention to the rarity of its ornamental value.

For example, Gu Mingyuan left the book at the end of the bookshelf after reading it. He attached great importance to a set of early Qing and Ming history.

Gu Mingyuan said that there were many differences in the records of that set of books before and after the Qing Dynasty literary inquisition.

Just like my grandfather's set of Ming Dynasty unified annals, if it was Gu Mingyuan, he would love it as a treasure. He thought it was an excellent material to supplement the Daming area in the history of Ming Dynasty.

But in the books I read about studying ancient books published now, and Lu Li's simple sentences

I think I'm still a layman."Long ago?" Lu Li looked up at me again.

I laughed twice, closed my mouth, and decided not to explain.

Lu Li laughed and picked up the copy of the Warring States policy that I copied, and turned both sides at the same time.

When I thought he would turn over all the time and not speak for a while, but took a sip of coffee, I heard him say faintly: "in fact, Professor Gong appreciates you very much. He saw your notes in the library, and acquiesced in Mr. Chen's letting you borrow some books from the ancient book library.

When he talked about the graduate students he brought, he also praised them. At that time, he specially said to Oriole that it was valuable for a new student to have such attainments and exploration spirit. Therefore, oriole went to the library to check you. Who is it

My coffee was blocked in my throat and almost gushed out. I managed to swallow the coffee. I took some quick words: "I'm not a liar. I didn't steal the student ID card!"

"I know." Lu Li raised her head and said with a chuckle, "I asked Gu Yue. In fact, she sold the student ID card herself. Someone asked her to buy it for 200 yuan. She also said that she would go to make up for it two months later."

"Buy?" I was stunned.

"However, I went to check the person who bought the certificate. I heard that he was an in-service teacher who came to study in other provinces. Now that he has returned, he can't find anyone. Gu Yue will not tell the truth to others." Lu Li lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "so, it's not clear that Professor Gong will not accept you as a disciple."

"I didn't want to..." I was quick to tell.

"Oriole's father is the director of Shencheng library." Lu Li interrupted me and said, "their family is very influential in the field of history and ancient books. As long as she talks outside and Professor Gong doesn't explain, no professor will accept you as a student."

"I don't..."

"So," Lu Li interrupted my words again: "if you want to engage in academic research, I can tell you to give up your heart. This circle is very small, no one brings in, and no one will believe and approve of any research you do. Moreover, at your present level, without a good teacher, you can't find the real direction of learning. Therefore, Gu Qing, Give up. "
