: Round 183 camphor tree (2)

The snow in the yard is as thick as the outside, but because there is a wall to block it, the cold wind is less and it is warmer.
Cao Zhen closed the door. "I went to the main room to see if there was electricity." No one lived in this house for several years, and I didn't know if there was a power outage.
Jing Sa informed the village cadres and looked around the ruined courtyard house. "It's a pity that this house is in the city of S. This is a first-class mansion!"
In old Beijing, a house like the Siheyuan, with a asking price of 100 million, can be stolen.
"What a mansion, spooky, like a haunted house." Xiao Chen complained.
The lush camphor tree in the yard blocked the sun because no one had trimmed it all year round. The sun was bright outside, but it was a little weird inside.
"Coward! But nobody has lived for years!"
Cao Zhen leaned his head out of the main room, "Come here, there is electricity in the room."
So, everyone entered the main room.
The most important room in the courtyard is the main house. Sitting north to south, in the old society, the ancestral sign was generally located in the middle of the main house, so the main house is the highest position in the whole house.
The main house of the Du family has considerable depth and height. There are three rooms with elegant architecture and ingenious structure. The winter is warm and the summer is cool. Unfortunately, no one has lived for a long time. The corners are covered with spider webs. The remaining furniture is easy to touch. It's a layer of ash, blowing a little, the dust will be scattered, and the throat will be itchy.
There is a copper stove in the middle of the main hall of the main house. There is a large kettle on the top. There are some coal in the stove below. Look at the color except for the dust. The coal has not deteriorated. Cao Zhen lit the fire and lit the stove. , Burn a pot of water, and wait for the hot steam to come out, and the room will warm up.
He looked at the furnishings in the house. Although the dust was covered, it was not difficult to see that these furniture were all good goods. Huanghuali, red sandalwood, mahogany, and simple styles were all old objects of some years. The carvings are tedious and complicated, and they are polished very smoothly. It is definitely not something that can be bought in the furniture city today. The drum tables, drum stools, incense tables, and Duobao Pavilion in the house are complete sets. Sophisticated and elegant style, even those who do not know how to know it must be valuable.
She was unclear about the situation of the Du family when she was alive, but by looking at these things, she knew that she had a very luxurious life, just like a family of old social landlords.
This is a way out from what I knew at the beginning. I thought it was just a wealthy man, but now it seems that it is not at a level.
So doubts also follow. Can people who make a living by opening a bookstore save such a family?
A rosewood carved multi-treasure pavilion, how many books can you buy to afford.
Could it be something left on the ancestor? However, according to the information found by the police, this Du family is a general bookseller. Although the last three generations are considered as scholars, they are very poor and have no family property at all. The Du family is a self-made book.
She looked at Jing Sa, "Where does the Du family's bookstore open?"
"It seems that it is a small town not far from the village. I don't know the specifics. If you wait for the village cadres to ask, he should know more details."
Nodded nodding.
Seeing that the water boiled, Xiao Chen took out a thermos cup and brewed a cup of tea for the god. The tea was a good Longjing. After it was soaked, the tea was full of fragrance.
Jing Sa and Cao Zhen smelled it, and they shy their faces even more.
After waiting for about ten minutes, an old man in a green army coat stumbled in.
When Jing Sa saw it, he got up and greeted him immediately, "Huang Huang is it?"
The old man took off the felt hat on his forehead, revealing his silver hair, and he could see that he had reached the end of his senior year. He held a cane in his hand, and his legs and feet were slightly unfavorable, but his body was very tough. He nodded and walked to the fire to warm him. After warming up, "Comrade police, let you wait for a long time, I am the head of this Huangjiatang!"
Huangjiatang is the name of the village. As the name implies, the residents here are all surnamed Huang. They are regarded as an ethnic group. There are also ancestral halls in the pond. They are dedicated to the ancestors of generations and generations. Many, Du family is one of them.
Cao Zhen motioned for Xiao Chen to contribute some tea leaves so that Huang Tangchang could also make a cup.
Xiao Chen is not stingy, anyway, it is not his money.
After the old man sat down, he asked straight away: "Old Huang, where is the Du's bookstore?"
Huang Lao took a sip of tea and slowly said: "It's in the town of Sanlidi in the village, but after so many years, the shop has changed owners."
"When did the Du family move here?"
"It was probably fifty years ago, when a junior in the village wanted to go to a big city to do business, he sold the ancestral land to Lao Du, oh, the land of this house, Lao Du built the house Since then he has lived here. The house was built by himself, but the shop was rented. Later, when the old Du and his wife died in a car accident, Du Fu ’s girl closed the bookstore. After the lease expired, the landlord rented it to someone else. , Now it seems to be a small supermarket. "
"Do you know what books you bought?"
"Doing business is all about living, selling whatever you like, there is no uniform, children's books, textbooks, classics, everything.
"Business is good?"
"I don't know this, but Lao Du's shot is very generous, it should be good, otherwise how can he build such a big house, after living in the village for a few years, Lao Du married his wife, who is not from our village, I am also a foreigner, saying that it was set by my family before, and it was settled in the village, and the business was also good. Then I took over the person. To say Lao Du, there is really nothing to say, but if there is anything in the village, he is all The first one came out to help. The village was short of water decades ago, and was looking for someone to dig a well. Old Du paid money without saying anything. Whenever the ancestral temple was repaired, old Du always donated money to contribute. The villagers were very crowded. Alien, but seeing old Du as a refreshing person, he has been treated as his own family for a long time, but unfortunately his life is too thin. It was in his midlife that he was in great trouble. The only one is also a seedling ... "Huang The old man shook his head and sighed, "Since Du Fu and his daughter-in-law have gone away, their temperament has changed greatly. The people in the village can help because they miss Lao Du's good, but the girl just doesn't open her eyes. , Like crazy, scolding when you see someone, rushing after scolding Want to stick her cold with a hot face? But the people in the village are honest and don't care about her. Later, Zhao Di found that she was missing, and the people in the village were looking for a meal, so she was afraid that something might happen to her. A few elders of the family also broke their hearts, but they could n’t find anyone, thinking that the young people might be bored with the life in the village, maybe they would go out and walk, maybe they would come back one day, so they asked someone to take turns to help the cuisine This house, but in the past few years, the young people in the village have gone out to work. The village has few people, and they are all old people. They have less energy, so they are less enthusiastic. Especially in the past two years, their own fields have been short of manpower. No one came, and I thought that Duff girl would come back sooner or later, but I didn't expect ... "He wiped the corner of his eyes," This family's life is really bitter. "
It was indeed bitter. In the end, the whole family died, and there was no one left.
"Although no one is here to take care of it, it can be seen that everything in it remains the same, and there is no shortage of it, you also have a heart."
One door died, leaving a huge house, the village was not rich, and they did not see them break in to divide things, showing how simple the people in this village are.
"That is of course. Old Du has helped so many things in the village before he was born. How can we do the kind of thing that people take tea and cool? In the past few years, there are really a few young and ignorant people who want to come in and steal some valuable things. Fortunately, I was found to have been arrested, or it would have completely lost the face of the villagers. "
"Have the relatives of the Du family been here?"
Huang Lao shook his head, "Lao Du didn't see him and his relatives when he was alive, but there were a lot of business people coming and going. After he and his wife died in a car accident, we also asked Du Fu and asked her to ask Do n’t contact the relatives of the Du family, but she refuses to say anything. Later, when she disappears, we also want to contact them, but we really do n’t know how to find someone. This is the old Du, everything is good. The daughter is spoiled, but it is also human nature. "
"How to say?"
"Did you see the camphor tree outside when you came?"
Everyone nodded.
"Lao Du's daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of gold coins. The old Du was very happy and specially spent a lot of money to drag people to buy two camphor trees from a distant place. I made a camphor box as a dowry. The one-year-old who had never thought about it fell into the stairs and fell off the stairs. He broke his neck directly, and it was too late to save. "
He was surprised and said, "Duff is a twin?"
"Yeah! I held the big one when the two dolls were full moon, hey ..." He took out his long pipe and took a sigh, "What about this man, really don't know what will happen tomorrow?"
The smell of dry smoke is not very good, but the old man smokes it.
Xiao Chen waved his hand in disbelief, thinking that the smell of smoke was bad for the body of the monster, and wanted to tell the old man to extinguish the smoke, but he was stopped by the eyes of the monster.
"Lao Huang, does the Du family have any other business besides the bookstore?"
"I haven't heard of this. Lao Du is a down-to-earth man. He takes care of the bookstore and never engages in speculation."
Luan whispered, "This is weird ..."
Jing Sa asked, "What's so strange?"
"There is only one bookstore. If you are in a big city with lots of people and high demand, it is not impossible to make a fortune, but in this place, how many books can you sell in a day?"
"This ..." Jing Sao froze, "Does it matter?"
He did not answer, and asked Huang Tangchang again, "What kind of person is Mrs. Du?"
"Lao Du's daughter-in-law?" Huang Lao said with a smile: "It's a big beauty, Lao Du Ke is baby, she seems to be in poor health. Lao Du is reluctant to let her out to meet people. When I showed up, I rarely saw it once. I once went to Lao Du to repair the ancestral hall. I happened to see it once. It was beautiful and beautiful, that is, it was bad. It was always bad looking, like a sick man. "
"Is my family a big family?" Perhaps Mrs. Du might have money.
"She has been married to Lao Du for so many years, and she has never seen her mother-in-law's family come.
Ordinary people?
Where did the Du Family's rich family come from? It might not have been from someone else.
"By the way, I heard that the Du family collected several ancient books, which were later sold by Du Fu. Does Huang Lao have an impression?"
"I have an impression, I have an impression! I heard that one book sold hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we are still wondering, what ancient book is so valuable! I heard Huang Shun say, oh, Huang Shun is a idler in our village and always likes to be everywhere Hanging out, if you are okay, you will still peek at the things in other people ’s homes. Hearing that the people who came to buy all brought cash directly to trade, he was curious and wanted to see what those books looked like, but they did n’t see anything. The books were wrapped tightly and packed into a strange box. "
"Strange box?"
"Well, he said that, and asked him why it was strange. He said that the box contained ice."
Hearing, Limiao was very surprised.
Chinese paintings and calligraphy have a long history, and many celebrities in history have experienced rare wars, famines, and man-made damages. What can be circulated so far is rare. Therefore, they are even more precious. The paintings and calligraphy are easily damaged, moth-eaten, and mildewed. Once they occur, the collection value will be greatly reduced.
One of the biggest natural enemies is moisture, which can easily cause mildew.
Especially old paintings and calligraphy, which are very old, have a lot of dust and microorganisms on them. Improper storage can easily cause mildew and insect pests. The most important thing is to keep them dry and disinfect them before collecting.
Commonly used for disinfection is fumigation, or putting appropriate amount of rut, musk, shrub, camphor, etc. in the painting box, and sealing for a period of time can also play a disinfecting effect.
However, I have never heard that books will be stored in ice cubes, and ice cubes will have a lot of moisture. Doesn't this mean providing conditions for the growth of borers and molds?

After the horror was delayed, I forgot a big forehead ... Ha ha, it is estimated that you have seen this cloud for a while.
Hahaha ...
In fact, when you reveal it, you will suddenly realize it.
In other words, I have been suffering from insomnia recently, and I am obviously very sleepy. I just can't sleep. I can sleep at three and wake up at six.
Lying trough!
