Chapter 35 my bedside book

Some people say that people who live in Taipei do not have bookcases at home, but they must have wine cabinets.The author likes reading and drinking, so it stands to reason that the house must be a "house of two cabinets" with bookcases and wine cabinets.But the actual situation, the humble dwelling, although it can not only accommodate the knees, but also can't put up a brocade stand to put books and wine, and at the same time, it is tiring, resisting the dust and vulgarity, and there is no extra time to drink and study.But for many years, I have become addicted to the habit. Before going to bed every night, I need a roll in my hand to attract the Sandman, so that I can fall asleep soundly.Some people like to read the daily and evening newspapers in bed. Before going to bed, I only read books and not newspapers, because newspapers are printed with ink. If you are not careful, your hands will be contaminated by ink. If you get out of bed and wash your hands, you will be refreshed. Counting sheep the second time I go to bed, or reciting the white clothes mantra over and over again, I can't sleep well.People like to display clocks, clocks and other small decorations on the bedside table. Because I have no bookcase and have the bad habit of reading at night on the pillow, the width of the bedside table is only more than a foot, and the length is more than ten feet.On one side are various magazines of various types, and even the complete comics of Old Master Q are also kept on the shelves, while on the other side are several stacks of books on research and literature.At the beginning of this year, while wandering around Wenhai Publishing House, I found a series of modern Chinese historical materials, which had published 100 volumes, each with ten volumes and some with twelve volumes. It costs more than 200,000 yuan, which is beyond the reach of us poor scholars. Among them, the fourth series includes "Zhang Gu Ling Shi" written by the former uncle Wang Songru, and the ninety-second series includes the ancestor Zhong Lu Gong's "Unexpected Negative Zhai Famous Books" ("Famous Books" are sold in retail, but all the books I want have been sold out), so I had to grit my teeth and bought those two episodes and put them on the bedside so that I could read them every day when I went to bed.Among the famous collections, there are also some literature and history materials that I want to see and read, but unfortunately there are no retail sales. I think the only people who can buy the complete works are government schools.However, after they bought them, there were thousands of frames and shafts, sealed and locked, and there were probably very few of them that could really be viewed by people.In recent years, more and more tomes have been published, and the prices of the books are beyond our reach. If some of them can be retailed, it will benefit the scholars, and the merits will be immeasurable.
