Chapter Twenty-Nine: Father's Neighbor

That night, Li Ping'an lived directly in Repulse Bay No. 2, and early the next morning, Li Ping'an ran to the grass in the courtyard and started his routine fitness exercise.

Shao Yifu also got up much earlier, and he felt very strange to see his son playing extremely slow Tai Chi on the open grass, because young people rarely use Tai Chi to exercise, and Li Ping'an's Tai Chi is so slow that it is twice as slow as the old people in the park. Shao Yifu watched his son finish a set of 36-style Taijiquan like this, and when Li Ping'an walked in front of Shao Yifu, he was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"Are you tired from punching this time?" Shao Yifu began to worry that his son's body was too weak.

Li Ping'an wanted to laugh a little when he heard Shao Yifu's inquiry, but he had an idea in his heart, "Dad, I'll pass on to you the breathing mantra that I have for this set of boxing!"

"What, do you have the mantra of Tai Chi?" Shao Yifu was very surprised. When Shao Yifu was young and a Taijiquan master from Chenjiagou learned some of the Taijiquan health mantras, the master told Shao Yifu that before the Sanfeng Zhenren ascended, the Taijiquan moves and formulas were handed over to the big apprentice Song Yuanqiao, but unfortunately the Ming Emperor Zhu Di immediately sent troops to surround Wudang after learning that Sanfeng Zhenren was ascending, and forcibly asked for the cultivation exercises left by Sanfeng Zhenren, Zhu Di thought that since Zhang Sanfeng could become an immortal, he could also be the Son of Heaven. In desperation, Song Yuanqiao could only hand over the Taijiquan Sutra left by Sanfeng Zhenren, but on the way back to Jinling, the Taijiquan Sutra was robbed by an unknown group of people, and most of it was finally destroyed. Later, Song Yuanqiao sorted out some mental methods according to his memory, which was modified into Song Taiji, and the general who escorted the unfavorable scriptures was removed from all official positions, and then incognito, the general's surname was Chen, which was the ancestor of Chen Jiagou and the founder of Chen's Taiji.

"Over the years, I asked my mother to help me buy some antiques, and I found this set of Tai Chi and the accompanying breathing method in an antique scripture written in a Sanskrit book. Li Ping'an told a white lie to his father Shao Yifu. In fact, this complete set of Taijiquan was exchanged by the old Taoist master and Zhang Sanfeng in the previous life, and the old Taoist did not pay attention to it, and when he saw that Li Ping'an liked the messy martial arts classics, he packed them and gave them to him, so that Li Ping'an could study them himself.

Shaw Yifu knew that his son was gifted and intelligent, and when he was six years old, he had studied Sanskrit with Master Ji Xianlin, who had come to Xiangjiang University for academic exchange. "What about the scriptures?" Shaw Yifu looked at his son expectantly.

"I later felt that this scripture was not trivial, and I was afraid that someone would covet it and burn it, but I memorized all the scriptures, and there were two kinds of cultivation methods recorded in it, one is a bit like yoga, and the other is this Tai Chi. Dad, I'll start teaching you now!"

After listening to his son's explanation, Shao Yifu was still skeptical, but he also began to learn this set of Tai Chi with Li Ping'an. Because of the foundation of Taijiquan, coupled with the external posture of Taijiquan is similar, Shao Yifu only took half a day to memorize the mental formula, and found the difference after a complete practice, this time it took an hour to punch down, although it was very tiring, but after that, he felt a lot lighter. This surprised Shaw Yifu inexplicably, and at the same time warned his son not to easily teach it to irrelevant people.

Just after lunch, a father and daughter, accompanied by bodyguards, came to Shaw Yifu's place as guests. The father and daughter live at No. 1 Repulse Bay not far away, and they are considered to be Shao Yifu's neighbors. This father and daughter are Macau gambling king Stanley Ho and his daughter He Chaoqiong, since Shaw Yifu moved to Repulse Bay, Stanley Ho and Shaw Yifu have become good personal friends. In fact, this visit also heard that Li Ping'an came here, and He Hongsen wanted to meet this young man who is now more accomplished than their older generation.

It turned out that He Hongsen had a quarter of Jewish ethnic blood and belonged to the peripheral members of the American Life Association, so he had heard some legendary stories about Li Ping'an.

Everyone sat down, and Shao Yifu began to introduce as the host, "This is the dog Li Ping'an, who has just returned from the United States. Andy, this is your Uncle He!"

Li Ping'an stood up and bowed to He Hongsen, "Hello Uncle He, I often hear my father read about you, praising you for starting from scratch and creating a business empire, let me learn more from you." ”

For He Hongsen, Li Ping'an still admires it. He Hongsen has a strong personality and did not have much capital when he started, because he had already fallen into the middle of the family when he was a teenager and tasted the heat and coldness of the world, so he studied hard, was admitted to Xiangjiang University with excellent results, and won a scholarship. He is the most powerful, profitable, famous and longest-reigning gambling king in the history of Macau gambling, and his life is full of legends. At the same time, he also played a very important role in the historical process of Macao's return to the motherland. However, what Li Ping'an admires most is this love history, not only married four wives in his life, but also has a lot of lovers, but the evening is a little unsafe, and the children even fight for property and even go to court.

Ho Hongsen waved his hand, "It's too famous, it's too famous." Now you're more than us old men. This is my daughter He Chaoqiong, she is your book lover and fan. ”

He Chaoqiong was still a teenage girl at this time, and shyly took out a pink diary for Li Ping'an to sign as a souvenir.

Li Ping'an signed his name, took out a peace charm of the same style that he had given to Li Xiaolong's family from his arms, hung it on He Chaoqiong's neck, and the little girl cherished it and stuffed it into her clothes.

The father and daughter left after the father and daughter had dinner, and when they left, the little girl He Chaoqiong asked Li Ping'an if he could go to his mid-level villa to play, Li Ping'an did not refuse, and clearly expressed his welcome.

Li Ping'an left the next morning because his half-brother was returning to Repulse Bay No. 2, and Li Ping'an didn't want to have too much contact with his relatives on the Shaw Brothers side. Before leaving, Li Ping'an gave his father a jade pendant made of mutton fat white jade, and when Shao Yifu wore the jade on his body, he instantly felt that he was exhausted, but he didn't ask much, after all, there was really some estrangement between father and son in the relationship.

Back at home in the Mid-Levels Villa, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao told Li Ping'an in turn about the arrangements for the property he acquired, and Li Ping'an found that it was generally going well and told Zhao Yazhi that Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao's three daughters would move into their new home in Shek O before the Spring Festival.

Li Ping'an bought more than 1,500 hectares of land in Shek O through a series of means, including almost half of the Shek O beach, Shek O is located on the south bank of the Xiang River, and has not been developed on a large scale at this time, but Li Ping'an bought such a large piece of land, and the future Shek O Park is destined to disappear in the long river of history.
