Not long after, the unique roar of her Beetle's engine came from downstairs, but it still sounded like it was idling and did not start and leave.
I guess she was on the phone with someone in the car.
I guessed wrong.
A few seconds later, I received a WeChat message from Shen Xingyue, with only four words: Manchu Laodang.
However, as soon as I finished reading these four words, she withdrew the message.
Then, the Beetle started up, and the sound gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Manwen old document, what is it?
When I couldn't decide, I asked Baidu. I took my phone from the bedside and entered these four words.
There are quite a few entries on Baidu that involve "Old Manchu Archives". The explanation given by Baidu is: the official history books and archives written in Manchu during the Huang Taiji period of the Qing Dynasty are not general histories, but
It is a history book recorded in sections. The first section records the history from the ninth year before Tianming to the eleventh year of Tianming, that is, 1607-1626 AD. The second section covers the first to sixth years of Tiancong (1627-1632).
), and the third section is a separate history of the first year of Chongde (1636), three sections, totaling 27 years of history.
Looking at these time periods, I quickly understood what Shen Xingyue meant.
It is now clear that Muzig was imprisoned in 1622, which happened to be in the middle of the time period of this "Manchu Old Documents". Shen Xingyue was reminding me to find the answer in historical materials myself.
However, when I searched for the electronic version of "Manwen Old Documents" on the Internet, I found that the content was fragmented and I couldn't bear to read it.
Dangdang sells physical books, but it takes another three days to ship them.
I had an idea and looked up the local Xinhua Bookstore in Fucheng. I called and asked if this book was available. The store manager said no, but he suggested that I go to the library to check it out. Fucheng is located in the hometown of Manchuria. The library has a lot of information about the history of Manchuria.
Of books, this book should be included.
I have limited mobility now and can't take the wrong path. I found the phone number of the Fucheng Library and asked if this book was available. They said that there was indeed a copy in the computer database, but because the book was published for so long, it was too late.
It was rotten. It was disposed of and put in a warehouse the year before last. I don't know if it can still be found.
"Please help me look for it," I begged. "When it's done, beauty, I'll treat you to dinner!"
Although I am single, I have always had a good relationship with women. The gentle and gentle female administrator of the other party readily agreed and asked me to wait for news.
Ten minutes later, the female administrator called me back. She actually found it and asked me when I would come to the library.
"Go now! Keep it for me, don't lend it to anyone else!"
After hanging up the phone, I endured some discomfort, got dressed, left the hotel, and took a taxi to the library. When passing by a shopping mall, I asked the driver to stop and went in to buy a bottle of Dior perfume, which cost more than 800 yuan.
I don’t know if the quality is high or not, but it’s just a piece of my heart. I tried it on my wrist and it smelled unique and nice.
When I arrived at the library, I was a little surprised to see the female administrator. I didn’t expect that there would be so many beauties in the small city of Fucheng. How should I describe their looks? They were not the voluptuous and charming type like Shen Xingyue, but the neighboring ones.
The cute little girl is a bit like a very popular host recently, named Bingbing, who is very good at playing cards.
Moreover, her name is also Bingbing - it's written on the badge.
Zheng Bingbing.
I presented the gift of perfume. Zheng Bingbing was very happy and handed the book to me directly, saying that the book had expired and she had the authority to delete it from the system database and gave it to me for free.
I kept an eye out and said I wanted to see the borrowing record of this book.
The library management system has been recording records since 2008. There are only two borrowing registrations for this old Manchu document.
The previous one was borrowed by Shen Xingyue in 2020.
The previous record occurred in 2017, and the borrower was Song Lei.
This is very reasonable.
Zheng Bingbing and I added each other on WeChat. After thanking each other again, I took the book and took a taxi back to the hotel.
After a lot of trouble in the hospital in the afternoon, it was almost evening. While eating the leftovers of Milanese pastry, I carefully flipped through "Manchu Old Files" - I had to be careful, the book was published in the 1970s.
The price tag is only 2.33 yuan, but the paper has become somewhat jade-like and will fall into pieces if you apply force.
According to the chronological order, I soon found the record part of 1622... This chapter has been completed!
