"Oh, Mr. Warner, your study room can be called a small library!" Tangning couldn't help exclaiming after stepping into Warner's study.
In fact, it's no wonder that Tangning was so surprised, because there are indeed too many books in Warner's study, and not only are there a large number of books, but there are also many kinds of books, and there are even books in various countries, such as English, French, Chinese, and Japanese. the wait.
"It's not that exaggerated, but I really like reading books, so I bought a little more!" Warner replied modestly.
With Tangning's language proficiency, in addition to English books, she could only read Chinese books, so she went to the Chinese bookshelf and looked at them. It turned out that Warners had similar appetites as hers, and basically they mainly focused on Ming and Qing novels. I only talked about a few of the classics and histories. In fact, it is normal when I think about it. Except for the work factor, when we buy English and French books, we will not buy Rousseau and Heraclitus. Most of them also buy Alexandre Dumas and Sherlock Holmes.
"Huh? You actually have "The Mirror of Flowers" here!" Tangning exclaimed again. ("The Mirror of Flowers" was published in 1818.)
"Mr. Tangning, do you also like "The Mirror of Flowers"?" Warner asked in surprise.
Tangning replied a little embarrassedly, "Uh, to be precise, I liked the first fifty episodes of Tang Ao, Lin Zhiyang, and Duke Duo Jiu's overseas travels, but I'm not very interested in the next fifty episodes!" actually
"I also like this part very much, it's a bit like Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", but more imaginative than Swift!" Warner echoed.
Tangning explained, "That's because most of the overseas countries in "The Mirror of Flowers" were born out of the ancient Chinese book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is much easier than Mr. Swift's pure imagination. At the same time, it also shows the profound heritage of Chinese culture!"
"It seems that Mr. Tangning, you have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture than I do!" Warner praised.
Tangning waved her hand and said, "I just know a little bit, but the thing I regret the most right now is that I came back from my last trip to China too hastily. I should have brought back some books like Mr. Warner!"
"Mr. Tangning, what are your favorites? I can give them to you!" Warner said with interest.
Tangning shook her head and said, "How can this be possible? You brought it back with all your hard work."
But then he said, "But if I can, can I borrow this "Mirror Flower" for a few days?"
"Of course!" Warner replied without hesitation.
After Tangning put the book "The Mirror of Flowers" away, she suddenly saw a lot of paintings and calligraphy piled up in the corner, so she asked curiously, "Mr. Warner, why haven't these books been sorted out?"
Warner explained, "Hey, because there are too many things to do during this time, and the space in this study room is limited, so I haven't organized it all the time. It makes you laugh, Mr. Tangning."
At this moment, Tangning suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Mr. Warner, is this where Mr. Maddison's Statue of Liberty was found?"
Warner nodded and replied, "That's right, I saw Mr. Tangning that day that you were interested in Maddison's works, so I went back and looked for it, but I only found one like 'The Statue of Liberty'."
Hearing this, Tangning wanted to ask me to help you sort it out, but on second thought it seemed too abrupt, not to mention that she didn't know Warner that well, even Levin's stuff couldn't be done by herself. I did, so I could only sigh in my heart.
Just as Tangning was about to leave the study, Warner suddenly asked, "Mr. Tangning, don't you like Japanese literature? I have a set of The Tale of Genji that is said to be the royal version."
"Uh, actually, I don't speak Japanese, so I can't read it!" Tangning replied embarrassedly.
Hearing Tangning's words, Warner's eyes flashed with surprise. Just as he was thinking about whether Tangning's words were true or false, Tangning continued, "But I'm very interested in Japanese Ukiyo-e. Do you have any here?"
Warner nodded repeatedly and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I have two "Thirty-six Views of Fuji" by Hiroshige Gechuan here, but I don't know if it's true or not, it's strange to say, I don't know what's going on. In the past two years, the French seem to like Ukiyo-e very much, so the price is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more fake paintings."
"Oh, I do know the reason for this, because a group of French painters are inspired by Japanese Ukiyo-e, and are creating a new school of painting, plus the previous Ukiyo-e was too cheap, and even reduced to wrapping paper, so They buy a lot, so it's normal for the price to go up," Tangning explained.
Then he invited: "By the way, I have a few oil paintings of this school in my house. If you are interested in Mr. Warner, welcome to discuss it!"
Warner suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's what it is, then I will come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will definitely come to learn from you, Mr. Tangning!"
"Mr. Warner, you are very kind, then I will wait for you at home!"
After Tangning left, Sheila walked downstairs and asked Warner coldly, "Why did you invite this person, don't you know I hate him?"
"I know, but this person is very important. When I find out the secrets on him, I will help you to avenge him!" Warner replied lightly.
"It's not in a hurry~www.novelbuddy.com~ But when will the thing you promised me start?" Sheila asked again.
Warner replied impatiently: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, the preparatory work for this matter is very complicated, and it will take half a year to start at the earliest. Why do you start urging me every day now?"
Seeing Warner like this, Sheila seemed to be frightened and wanted to please him. She walked over from behind and hugged him in a low voice, "I'm not rushing you, but you also know what kind of life I'm living now. So I want to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Speaking of which, he seemed to have made up his mind, then slowly loosened his belt and whispered in Warner's ear, "I, I agree to your request, all your requests, can this speed up?"
And Warner turned around and pressed her on the table to the side, and said viciously, "It depends on your performance!"
Sheila could only helplessly sigh softly, and then cooperated.
ps: Hey, Ge Tuo is gone, but I don't know when "Ge Tutu in 1985" will be finished, mainly because the author does not continue to write it.
