According to the original plan, Long Yifeng only needed to participate in the first day of the event, and he did not need to be on site in the next few days.

In order to make Long Yifeng's trip to Peking not too lonely, Xiao Yi took him to see the raising of the national flag early. As a citizen of the Republic, I look forward to being able to watch the national flag raising in Beiping. Looking at the bright flag rising, Long Yifeng seemed to have a passion in his heart that was about to surge.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Xiao Yi, Long Yifeng climbed the Great Wall. Long Yifeng joked to himself, as the saying goes, if you don't see the Great Wall, you are not a hero, but now you can be regarded as a hero.

In the afternoon, Mr. Liu arranged for dinner.

Mr. Liu introduced the situation of today's art exhibition to Long Yifeng, and in his words, it was definitely "a sea of people, and the grand occasion was unprecedented", and there was an endless stream of people who admired and sold paintings. As an expert in the hype of calligraphy and painting, Mr. Liu led his company's team to sell many works today through various introductions and auctions.

Several of the works brought by Long Yifeng were sold for very high prices. Mr. Liu also said that their company plans to fry Long Yifeng's works first, and then package him personally after Long Yifeng has been immersed in a period of time, and then carry out a planned and step-by-step process.

In fact, Long Yifeng doesn't want to be famous early, in his opinion, it is important to be famous, but the important thing is that he has works and strength. Only by creating good works can we gain long-term recognition. It is not excluded that there are currently some famous artists who have been fired by Mr. Liu's team, but they mainly have to rely on themselves, otherwise, even if they are famous, it will be a matter of a while.

Seniors like Li Lao have worked hard all their lives and made more brilliant achievements, and there is no need for hype at all.

Since Long Yifeng was only a child, after dinner, Mr. Liu did not arrange special activities such as drinking and singing, but asked Xiao Yi to accompany Long Yifeng to walk around, introduce the situation in Beiping, or buy some souvenirs and other things.

After shopping for a while, Long Yifeng saw that Xiao Yi was a little unable to hold on, so he proposed to go back to the hotel to rest. Long Yifeng slept in a single room, and he didn't have the habit of going to bed early, so he had to stand in front of the window and look at the beautiful lights of the city in a daze.

Beiping, he grew up and could only see it in textbooks, but now he is in front of him, in the center of the city, surrounded by only the vast night and neon lights intertwined, countless lights flickering, and he can't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. There are outstanding talents and social resources from all over the country gathered here, many good things are presented here, and many talented people seek to realize their value here. Compared with Miao Township, which is thousands of miles away, the difference between heaven and earth can be imagined.

It is not easy to live in such a city, and if you can live well in such a place, that is talent.

On TV and on the Internet, many people are far away from their hometowns and friends, but they come here to be drunk and confused, and their plump ideals finally turn into skinny realities. Long Yifeng yearns for Beiping, but he doesn't want to stay here, he hopes that he can go further, but in the end, he must go home, return to Miao Township, and return to Yumatang.

Nothing was said all night.

In the morning, Long Yifeng woke up from his cultivation, moved his body, and waited for Xiao Yi to knock on the door to arrange the day's itinerary.

About half an hour later, Xiao Yi knocked on the door and entered Long Yifeng's room. He told Long Yifeng that today's itinerary might have to be changed, because Mr. Liu called and said that Mr. Li hoped to take Long Yifeng to visit a friend.

To get Mr. Li's invitation, of course Long Yifeng was willing to go, and Mr. Liu hoped that he could have a deeper relationship with Mr. Li, so he agreed to Mr. Li's invitation on his behalf, and agreed to go to Mr. Li's house after noon, and then visit his old friend together.

The two simply walked around the surrounding streets, and after a short break after lunch, Mr. Liu sent a driver to send the two to Li's hometown.

Li's family lives in the traditional Beiping Hutong, a very traditional courtyard house, not too big, not too small. Beiping courtyard house, that is, one of the courtyard buildings, the so-called courtyard, that is, a courtyard with houses on all sides, quadrangle houses, the center is the courtyard. One house per house, and several courtyards in one house.

The courtyard runs through the central axis, the north room is the main house, the house in the east and west directions is the wing room, the south door is open to the north, so it is called the inverted seat family has money, when the population is large, the front and rear two combination courtyards can be built. The north and south are connected. Wealthy families can build three or four courtyards, which are also connected to the front and back. Flowers and fruits are planted in the courtyard for viewing.

The courtyard is small, with 13 houses, and the large courtyard or 30 rooms. The back wall of the wing house is a courtyard wall, and the brick wall is built at the corner, and the large courtyard is surrounded by a wall from the outside, all of which are made of tall walls and do not open the windows, showing a kind of defensiveness. The whole family is in the courtyard, and the people living in the courtyard are very comfortable, and the gate is closed at night, which is very quiet, which is suitable for family-centered reunion life.

In the daytime, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are very beautiful, the flowers are fragrant at night, the air is fresh, and the family sits in the courtyard at night, resting, chatting, drinking tea, and the whole family is happy. The family is in the yard, no matter what they do, outsiders can't see it, which is in line with the habits of the Chinese.

Xiao Yi introduced to Long Yifeng that the people who can live in the courtyard in Beiping now are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or famous celebrities, all of whom are elite people of superior rank. In addition to the ancestral property inherited from the family, it is difficult for ordinary people to afford a courtyard house.

Walking into the courtyard of Li's hometown, Long Yifeng immediately felt a strong smell of northern life and books. Although the yard is not too big, it is fully functional, with everything available, and the layout is exquisite and unique. Seeing the arrival of Long Yifeng and Xiao Yi, Li Lao expressed a warm welcome, and explained the reason why he suddenly took the liberty of inviting Long Yifeng to his house.

It turned out that when Mr. Li returned home yesterday, an old friend of his happened to visit. When the two were chatting, Mr. Li introduced the whereabouts of the day to his old friend, and took out Long Yifeng's works to enjoy with his old friend.

Who knows, when an old friend saw the calligraphy work given to him by Long Yifeng, he excitedly told him that this was a rare work. He said that Long Yifeng injected the spirit and connotation of martial arts into the four words of virtue and art, and the seemingly simple and ordinary works actually have rich connotations.

Li Laozuo saw the extraordinaryness of Long Yifeng's works, but he didn't expect his old friend to discover it from another angle. At the strong request of his old friend, he took the liberty to invite Long Yifeng to prepare to learn skills and exchange ideas with his old friend.

At the same time, Li Lao also introduced his old friend called Chen Zhiwu, whose ancestral home is from Hedong, who has lived in Beiping for many years, and has been opening a martial arts gym, mainly teaching Chen-style Taijiquan, and is also a calligrapher. Today, Long Yifeng is invited, on the one hand, to exchange calligraphy and painting experience, and on the other hand, you can also visit the Tai Chi gym of the restaurant Chen Lao.

Just go, no need to take a car, Li Lao took Long Yifeng and Xiao Yi to turn left and right in the alley, and soon arrived at the courtyard of Teacher Chen's house. Teacher Chen's courtyard is larger than Li Lao's, and there is a large plaque with golden characters hanging above the gate, which reads "Chen's Taijiquan Gym", which is like Taiji, rigid and soft, and it is the hand of a famous master at a glance.

Long Yifeng saw that this plaque might be mentioned by Chen Lao himself, and he could vaguely imply the strength of rigidity and softness, the power of yin and yang, between the outlines of the strokes.

Before he entered the courtyard, Li Lao shouted, "Is the old man at home? ”

Then I heard a gentle long laugh, and an old man with a childish face walked briskly, chattering: "Welcome, welcome, know that your guests are coming, where will you not be at home." ”

His mouth was not idle, and his eyes were still looking at Long Yifeng, who was following Li Lao, as if he wanted to see something out of him.

Elder Li introduced on the side: "This is the little friend of Long Yifeng that I mentioned to you yesterday, and everyone brought it for you." Let's see if it's the person you call martial arts. Hahahaha. ”

Regardless of his combat strength or his cultivation in Taijiquan, Long Yifeng didn't know how much higher he was than Teacher Chen, and he could already hide his breath, where could Chen Lao see it? After watching it for a long time, Chen Lao found that Long Yifeng did not find a trace of a martial artist's breath in addition to his spirit. However, he decided that Long Yifeng was not simple, and he asked everyone to go inside, and said:

"Brother Long doesn't look like a martial artist, but it's not simple. I'm afraid that my cultivation is too high to be too old and decayed, and I can't see through it. ”

Long Yifeng could see that Chen Lao's cultivation was very profound, and he was already much higher than ordinary boxers, and he was the most powerful martial artist he had ever seen since he was so old. He also practiced Taijiquan himself, and he had a good eye and impression of Teacher Chen, and he also wanted to know more about the other party's experience in practicing Taijiquan, so he said to Chen Lao with a smile:

"Chen Lao has won awards, and the kid has only learned some fur, and his lack of skill makes you laugh. ”

, Chen Lao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Long Yifeng admit that he did practice martial arts. I thought, such a young child, he can't see it when he cultivates himself, how powerful is that?

As a result, his attitude towards Long Yifeng became more and more enthusiastic, and the mentality of wanting to invite Long Yifeng to learn and communicate completely changed, but he wanted to listen to his teachings and guidance in the spirit of learning to listen.
