Chapter 579 Zhonghua Bookstore
“There are several used book stalls next to the north gate of the market, with a lot of these things.” Xu Hui said: “Shu Yi said you would definitely like it, so he copied the titles of the books and asked the boss to Organized into one place "
"Shu Yi, thank you." Zhou Zhi smiled happily: "After we finish eating, we will go check out those old books stalls!"
"You don't have to ask how many. Money?" Xu Hui was curious.
"Three cents a book, no matter how thick or thin it is." Jiang Shuyi answered the question immediately.
"Shu Yi!" Xu Hui refused now: "I promised to rip him off!"
Jiang Shuyi put down her chopsticks and took out an old kraft paper cover from her bag. Notebook: "There is also this. It seems to be a manuscript. The content seems to be the knowledge you studied. I don't know if it is useful, so I bought one from the boss first."
"This one is also the same. Sanmao?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"A dime." Jiang Shuyi said: "Twice as expensive as waste paper."
This book weighs almost a pound, a cent to a pound, it is really much more expensive than today's waste paper Twice as expensive.
Opening the book, Zhou Zhi stopped laughing.
The first paragraph that catches the eye is:
General inspection of "Guangyun", there are 46 prefixes that apply "Zhouyi" or explain the situation of "Zhouyi", and partially preserve the "Zhouyi" of Tang and Song Dynasties "Of Appearance, "Guangyun" and "School Edition" say "绻, department, there is a 绻jue, "Yi" is called Mi."
Note: The 92nd line of Fu hexagram in the current version of "Yi" is a poem. "I have a good prince, and I will spend time with you."
Wang Bi's note: "I have a good prince, and I want to scatter it with the things."
"Explanation" says: "Mi, originally also called Mi, scattered."
Han Shiyun said: Gongye.
"Pi Cang" is used as silk, cloud, and scattering.
"Shuowen" says: 绻, ox bridle. Mi, grits. Extravagant, invincible.
"Ancient and Modern Yun Hui Ju Yao": "绻, tie, and Tong Zuo Mi."
"Huainanzi": "Don't let go, the bullock cart will never roll over." This cover is a fake character for "绻".
"Book of Han": "It looks like a noble, and its ribbon is used to increase its salary."
"Historical Records of Sima Xiangru": "The ribbon should not be broken."
"Han Shu Xiongnu" writes "Ji Mi".
The fundamental reason is that according to "Guangyun", the "mi" in the current version of "Yi" may be originally regarded as "绻".
This is a note, written with a pen, and the handwriting is neat. The content of the note is to examine the difference between the modern version and the ancient version of the word "mi" in the "Book of Changes".
In a short period of research, the author quoted twelve ancient Chinese classics to discuss his findings. Finally, based on the literary meaning of the "Book of Changes", he deduced that its original character should be "绻", and the word "mi" in this article ", it should be a fake word.
The rigorous scholarship and profound knowledge are quite similar to Qian Zhongshu's style and temperament in the "Guan Zuibian".
Flip through a few more pages, and the whole article is full of this kind of content. It has almost the same theme, which is to examine the words used in the "Book of Changes" based on "Guangyun".
Zhou Zhi suddenly became nervous: "Shu Yi, at which stalls did you find this?"
"Hurry up and take me there!" Zhou Zhiwan stopped again: "Wait a minute and I'll call Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fei."
After saying that, he turned around and entered Daya Zhai: "Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fei, hurry up Come with me to the second-hand bookstall and find something. "What did you find? Did you find something valuable?" Fei Guan immediately became excited.
“It’s not a treasure, it’s a manuscript, related to my major.” Zhou Zhi said, “By the way, Uncle Zhang, do you know the person in charge of this police station? Can you? Can't you call them?"
"Is it so serious?" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"Well, it's very important from the content point of view. I'm an absolute scholar. I want to ask the seller about the origin of this manuscript, I'm afraid he won't cooperate."
"Then you go first, I'll give you a call ." Seeing Zhou Zhi speaking solemnly, Zhang Cheng nodded.
"I'll let you go." Lao Wang is a retired professor from Sichuan Normal University. He just browsed through the manuscript Zhou Zhi brought in, and now he stood up: "Any word can lead to more than a dozen books. Circumstantial evidence, this senior’s accumulation is not mentioned.”
So everyone left Lao Li to look after the store, and the others walked towards the bookstall in the north of the city.
The old bookstall occupies a wall at the north entrance. A middle-aged man wearing an apron, sleeves, and a cloth hat is sorting out old books.
Seeing Jiang Shuyi coming over, the middle-aged man looked happy at first, "Girl, all the books you want are here. I'm packing them into a sack for you. I'm sure...
But Jiang Shuyi stretched out his hand. Pointing: "That's him! "
The middle-aged man then noticed the large group of people in Wuyang Wuyang behind Jiang Shuyi, and was startled: "Are you sure... you want it? What do you want... to do? ”
Zhou Zhi took a look at the store. Except for the place where the pins are plugged in, the floor was full of books. The store was filled with piles of cardboard boxes, almost touching the wires on the ceiling. There was no safety risk. Small.
But not now. While I was talking about this, many of the documents spread out on the floor were important documents. At a glance, I had already seen the comparative editions of "Twenty-Four Histories" and "Manuscripts of Qing History" published by Zhonghua Book Company, and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" ", "Gu Yi Series Three"
I bent down and moved a place to stand, and saw the "New Collection of Zhuzi", "Collection of Yin Zhou Bronze Inscriptions" and "Collection of Oracle Bone Inscriptions".
"Boss, where did you get all these books?" Zhou Zhi saw the ashtray that the boss put on "Cefu Yuangui", he couldn't help but frowned again, and patiently took it out of Fei Guan's pocket. He took out a pack of Hongtashan and threw it to him.
The boss took the cigarette and saw that Tashan was very happy. He put the cigarette away and took out his own red plum to spread the cigarette for Zhou Zhi: "Do you want to smoke? He looks quite young."
“I don’t smoke. But there are many books in your store that I I like it. I just heard from my companion that the books in your store are only three cents each, no matter how thick they are.”
“Ah, I took out all the books this little girl asked for, there are six in total. Sixteen copies, a total of nineteen dollars.”
After finishing speaking, he picked up a thick book of "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels" and said: "How about adding another book? You see, for such a thick book, it only counts you two cents. Please give me an integer of twenty!"
When Zhou Zhi saw that the book was still new, he took it over and saw that it was eight years old. The five-year-old edition came to the used bookstall so quickly. I couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “I don’t need this book either. I have a whole set at home. But there are quite a few books that I like in your store. We have to sit down and slowly read them.” Talk."
" But I don’t have a place for you to sit here..." The boss rubbed his hands nervously: "What books have you read?"
Zhou Zhi picked up a book of "Book of Jin" and pointed to the beautiful book. The four characters in imitation Song Dynasty font: "Recognize these four characters." I want all the books published by Zhonghua Book Company.”
“Ah? Little brother, don’t you just kidding me?” The boss was a little surprised: “There are many books in my store. These four words!”
"I can see it." Zhou Zhi was as satisfied as a fox after eating too much. He waved his hand: "I want them all."
"Oh, the big customer is here!" The boss shouted happily into the store: " Wife, get up, the big customer is coming!"
"Here he comes," a rustling sound came from behind the bookcase in the store. After a while, a woman came out and spoke with a Henan accent: "Brother, are you here to buy our books? I'll pick out what you like."
"Brother said, I want all the books from Zhonghua Book Company !” The boss pushed the "Book of Jin" in his hand: "Look for these four words!"
