Chapter 91 Gu Qing, give up
"This set of books, do you have the whole set?" Lu Li put down the Great Ming Unification Chronicles, stretched out his hand and clicked on the Qing engraved Warring States Policy below, and said.

Although the question is used, but the tone is very sure.

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 dragging sound with a smile.

I nodded and said, "We can find a place, such as now, you can watch it, and I will accompany you. After reading it, I will take it back."

As I said that, I took out the stack I transcribed last night from my backpack, pushed it towards him and said, "Didn't you say that you are interested in some of the records in it? If it's not convenient to meet, I can transcribe it for you."

Lu Li raised her brows even higher, and tapped her finger on the book.

My face turned slightly red again, and I murmured: "Look, I was cheated out of 4 just now, I'm not talking about you... It's just that I don't have many things anymore."

Among the collection of books left by my grandfather, there are 160 or seven rare books that can be called ancient books. In addition to this set of Warring States Policy and Great Ming Unification Chronicle, there are three other sets and some orphaned books.

The price Lu Li told me is of course worth a lot, but in terms of quantity, not to mention inferior to the library, even less than one-tenth of what Gu Mingyuan collected back then.

It is no longer possible for me to enter the library of Normal University, and the ancient books library in Shencheng Library will not be open to me.

I am afraid that there will be very few opportunities for me to read this kind of books with historical afterimages in the future.

Besides, I am not short of money now, why should I sell it?
The corners of Lu Li's lips twitched, and he picked up my stack of manuscripts, flipped through a few pages and said, "Your handwriting is very beautiful, have you practiced it since you were a child?"

"Yes, I started practicing at the age of seven." I smiled and said, "The first time I learned to write, I just took a brush and wrote in traditional characters."

"Looking at your font, you should have practiced with Yan Ti first, um, you started with Yan Gong's authentic handwriting?" Lu Li carefully looked at the third page turned, and asked with a hint of uncertainty.

I smiled and shook my head and said, "It's a rubbing, the rubbing of Yan Gong's inscription."

"Is there any more now?" Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked.

I shook my head and said in a low voice: "No, I just practiced with it when I was a child, and later, I practiced by myself."

After Gu Mingyuan's death, I never saw those copybooks again, but after six years of practicing under Gu Mingyuan's hand in hand, those fonts have been deeply rooted in my blood, and I can't forget them even if I want to.

And because I no longer follow the practice, I will have some experience of my own when writing, and gradually, I have my own strength of character.

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

That's why I dared to suggest a manuscript to Lu Li.

I am confident that my copy, at least, will not be wrong in content, and will still be pleasing to the eye.

"When I was young?" Lu Li slowly turned a page and said, "Did you read a lot of rare books? I'm not talking about the Normal University library."

With a shy smile, I said: "A long time ago, some of them, I have almost forgotten."

At that time, Gu Mingyuan taught me to practice calligraphy, and also asked me to recite some ancient books, but most of them were concentrated in some isolated books, such as the Warring States Policy and the Han Dynasty Policy, which were often dozens of books in sets, and I was not asked to recite them. Yes, those I recite while practicing, I still maintain this habit after all these years, so I still remember them, but I couldn’t understand these big tomes when I was young, so I couldn’t remember much at first, and I can’t remember them now. Indeed almost forgotten.

Even if I have studied those documents, I can't say that I want to read this set of Qing engraved Warring States Policy like Lu Li, just to know the differences in it.

And Gu Mingyuan once said that the greatest role of these rare ancient books is here. Those ancient books that have survived for hundreds of years and thousands of years have extremely rich historical materials, and some of the official history has not been recorded, or lost in the long river of history. Can explore clues, and then restore some historical truth.

For those scholars who study historical epigraphs, every ancient book is a treasure.

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

Just like the Sancai Tuhua, Gu Mingyuan threw it at the end of the bookshelf after reading it back then, and he attached great importance to a set of early Qing and Ming histories at that time.

Gu Mingyuan said that the records of that set of books were very different from those published before the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty, compared with the history of Ming Dynasty published after the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty.

Just like my grandfather’s set of engraved unification annals of Ming Dynasty, if it was Gu Mingyuan, he would definitely love it like a treasure, thinking that it is an excellent material to supplement the Ming Dynasty in the history of Ming Dynasty.

But in the books I read on the study of ancient books that are published now, in a few sentences as simple as Lu Li...

I think, after all, I am still a layman.

"A long time ago?" Lu Li looked up at me again.

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

Lu Li smiled, picked up the book of Warring States Policy that I had copied, and turned both sides at the same time.

Just when I thought he would keep reading for a while and would not speak for a while, so I went to take a sip of coffee, I heard him say lightly: "Actually, Professor Gong appreciates you very much, he saw the notes you made in the library Only then did Mr. Chen acquiesce in letting you borrow some books from the ancient book library. When he talked about the graduate students he brought, he also praised them. It is really valuable to have such attainments and spirit of exploration, that's why Huang Li went to the library to check on you, who is it?"

My coffee got stuck in my throat, and I almost spit it out. I finally swallowed it down, and said hurriedly, "I'm really not a liar, I really didn't steal that student ID card!"

"I know." Lu Li raised her head and said with a chuckle: "I asked Gu Yue, she actually sold the student ID card herself, and someone offered her 200 yuan to ask her to buy it, and said to let her buy it. Just go back and do it in two months.”

"Buy?" I was taken aback.

"However, I checked the person who bought the certificate. I heard that it was an on-the-job teacher who came to study in other provinces. Now that he has expired, 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, this matter is not clear, and Professor Gong will not accept you as a student."

"I didn't think..." I hurriedly distinguished.

"Huang Li's father is the curator of Shencheng Library." Lu Li interrupted me: "Their family is very influential in the field of history and ancient books and literature. As long as she talks about it outside, Professor Gong doesn't explain it. If you don't, no professor will accept you as a student."

"I do not……"

"So," Lu Li interrupted me again: "If you want to engage in academic research, I can tell you, give up, this circle is very small, no one will bring you in, and any research you do will not Some people believe and agree with you, and, at your current level, without a good teacher, you can't find the real direction of learning, so, Gu Qing, give up."
