Jordan Jia and the Lost Manuscripts Chapter 54

Mr. Shang told me at Mr. Zhang Boju's 80th birthday party that he knew some things about Quentin Snow. 

After that, he interviewed me and told me about it orally, and finally wrote down some information himself. His original text will be quoted in full when this book is revised after obtaining his consent. Now I will just give a brief summary.

He said that when he was young, there was an elder brother named Cao Jiugong in his family. The two surnames had been close since early on, and Jiugong lived in the Shang family because he had no home. 

As a family, they were like a family, so the word "Jiu" was placed in his name. This person had a different personality from ordinary people. He didn't like to laugh and was aloof, but he was warm and humble, and rich in literary talent and knowledge. 

So the whole family called him elder brother and respected him very much. Once, when I asked him about some questions while reading "Dream of Red Mansions", he showed a strange look and refused to answer, saying only "Let's not talk about this!..." After a long time, when I accidentally returned to this topic again, I insisted on asking him to talk about it. He was forced to tell Mr. Shang some secrets. This elder brother Cao said that he was originally a descendant of Quentin Snow.
