Chapter Twenty-Three: An Unexpected Gain
Zhang Xiaoyao and Li Qing separated after eating steamed buns and millet porridge together in the breakfast shop, today is the weekend, and they just have nothing to do, Zhang Xiaoyao went directly to the Taijiquan gym, and everyone in the gym was full of enthusiasm and respect when they saw Zhang Xiaoyao.
There are a lot of students who are practicing Tai Chi and sparring, Master Lin Lang's injury seems to be fine, Lin Hongtao is still wearing bandages on his arms and shouting loudly over there in the instructor's movements and essentials, Master Lin Lang excitedly ran over and took Zhang Xiaoyao into a separate training room to immediately learn Tai Chi, Lin Hongtao also followed.
Zhang Xiaoyao knew that it would not work if he didn't have some blood when he met them, so Zhang Xiaoyao beat his Tai Chi method a few times, and saw that Lin Hongtao and Lin Lang were stunned, Zhang Xiaoyao's Tai Chi method was very different from what the two of them played.
But Lin Lang's family is also a family of Taijiquan, and he still feels that Zhang Xiaoyao's Taijiquan method is much more authentic than their family's ancestral Taijiquan method, so Lin Lang played several times according to Zhang Xiaoyao's Taijiquan method, plus Zhang Xiaoyao assisted in correcting on the side, Lin Lang played more and more smoothly, and all the blockages and incoherences in his previous Taijiquan were made up, and Master Lin Lang felt that he benefited a lot.
Immediately afterwards, he was about to bow to Zhang Xiaoyao, and said: "I heard that there is a sequence, the so-called master is the teacher, and the Tao is not lightly transmitted. ”
Zhang Xiaoyao knew that he was only passing on the basic boxing method, pace, etc., and the more important Tai Chi heart method Zhang Xiaoyao did not say a word, no wonder Lin Lang has not cultivated Tai Chi strength, at the beginning Tsing Yi Taoist did not say whether he could pass on the Tai Chi method to others, in case he provoked the powerful Tsing Yi Taoist, Zhang Xiaoyao did not dare to think about what the consequences would be, the action others can see and learn, but the heart Zhang Xiaoyao can only keep.
Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly stopped Master Lin Lang's movements, and made up a reason to say: "My master is for Wudang Zhang Sanfeng's lineage, the master ancestor and Zhang Sanfeng are close friends, the master has been practicing in seclusion, intending to carry forward the Taiji lineage, in order to prevent the decline of Taiji national arts, people who practice martial arts strengthen their bodies and protect their families and defend the country, so the master let me go out of the mountain to practice in the world, and find opportunities for Taiji Guoshu, Make some appropriate contributions to the country and the people, so the master does not restrict me from passing on the Taijiquan method, so everything is fate, and besides, we are also our own people, aren't we? If Master Lin is ashamed, then I will make the decision for my master, and you will be my senior brother, I hope we will carry forward Taijiquan together. ”
Lin Lang listened to Zhang Xiaoyao's words, he was grateful and admired for the spirit of the master, and immediately responded to Zhang Xiaoyao's words and became Zhang Xiaoyao's senior brother.
On the contrary, Lin Hongtao next to him was embarrassed, he is Xiao Xiaoyao's brother-in-law, but he is Lin Lang's nephew, do you call Zhang Xiaoyao junior brother or uncle? Lin Hongtao looked at the low and small Zhang Xiaoyao and shouted: "Little brother, you can't favor one over the other, I am your brother-in-law." ”
Master Lin Lang next to him was unhappy when he heard this, and said: "What junior brother? What brother-in-law? This is my junior brother, do you really want me to call you what you are? Why don't you go to death? Hurry up and change your name to be called Uncle or Uncle, is there a little concept of respect and inferiority, it's too unusual." ”
Seeing Lin Hongtao and Zhang Xiaoyao eating deflated adults also felt funny, but Sister Jing was standing over there, Zhang Xiaoyao still went up to the round and said: "Senior Brother Lin, let's talk about our own things, don't change our words, and if you can't get used to it, just match the two of us brothers." ”
Lin Lang also knew that it was difficult for Lin Hongtao, the nephew, so he agreed with Zhang Xiaoyao's statement, but he still sternly asked Lin Hongtao to respect Zhang Xiaoyao as much as his own uncle.
In the end, Zhang Xiaoyao played a smooth Tai Chi in front of all the students, leaving a full of admiration and praise, and the three of them who talked happily went to have lunch together, Zhang Xiaoyao went directly to Long Shao in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyao specially explained the problem about Li Qing, and made it clear that he fell in love with Li Qing in a gentle way, Long Shao didn't take this matter to heart at all, and encouraged Zhang Xiaoyao to make a move as soon as possible, and what he ate in his mouth was his own.
Zhang Xiaoyao smiled and agreed on the training plan and time with Long Shao, Zhang Xiaoyao was ready to return to school, and declined Long Shao's kindness to send the driver back to school, on the way back to school, Zhang Xiaoyao took a bus to pass by the Tianzhong antique market and got off the bus, Zhang Xiaoyao since the last time I understood that the emerald green aura was absorbed from the jade jade bracelet.
In the Tianzhong antique market, Zhang Xiaoyao directly ignored all the old coins, ancient calligraphy and paintings, antique objects and other store stalls, as long as there is jade, or jade where Zhang Xiaoyao will walk over and carefully pick up and watch, and even stick to the eyelids to see, Zhang Xiaoyao feels that most of the stalls and stores are modern things or imitations, Zhang Xiaoyao walked next to each stall.
In front of a stall set up by an old-fashioned old man, Zhang Xiaoyao looked at a jade Guanyin several times, in order to find a way to replenish the aura, Zhang Xiaoyao woke up Zhang Qiankun in his mind to help test the jade Guanyin.
As soon as Zhang Qiankun's voice appeared, he directly complained that Zhang Xiaoyao woke him up for no reason to waste the aura of the chaotic yin and yang beads, and said that it was simple to identify whether there was any aura, you listen: "Spirit, induce, qi, out, manifest, silently recite these few words, and then stick things on the center of your eyebrows, you can feel the aura or aura directly." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao also complained about Zhang Qiankun's not, and said: "Ya, you woke up and told me directly when you had aura in the past, how do I know, and blame me? You are asleep, how do I know how to test whether the aura exists? You go to sleep quickly, I will be angry when I see you." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao began to stick the jade Guanyin to the center of his eyebrows according to Zhang Qiankun's words, and sure enough, he sensed a trace of white aura, and the old man of the stall saw Zhang Xiaoyao holding it in his hand and looking at it a few times, then putting it on his eyelids, and then putting it on his eyebrows, and he felt that Zhang Xiaoyao was a layman.
The old man said directly: "Young man, this white jade Guanyin is a good thing, you really know the goods, my stall is the best, these are the ancestral objects in my family, do you want to sell them for 3,000? I rely on these things to support my family." ”
Several stall owners next to the old man laughed, and the smile seemed to say that the kid pit is one by one, and he will pit you today, but Zhang Xiaoyao pretended not to see the expressions of the other stall owners, so he deliberately put down the white jade Guanyin and got up and prepared to go to the stall next to the old man to see the others.
The old man was anxious when he saw that Zhang Xiaoyao was about to leave, and stood up and grabbed Zhang Xiaoyao, Zhang Xiaoyao happened to see that the shoes worn by the old man were still big ostrich brand-name leather shoes, which marked that Zhang Xiaoyao saw those sons and brothers in the Long Shao Club, and knew that this old man was deliberately wearing the old Tukeng people.
I only heard the old man say: "Young man, I see that you have been watching it for a long time, and you must like this thing, so I will give you two thousand five thousand if I die, do you want to?"
Zhang Xiaoyao said with a smile: "You obviously don't understand the market, these things are really your family's ancestral heirlooms? Do you dare to swear? At most, two thousand, love to sell or not, if you don't sell it, I just went to the uncle next to you to buy his Maitreya Buddha." ”
The uncle at the stall next to him heard Daxi and hurriedly shouted: "Come, young man, I will sell this Maitreya Buddha for a thousand, as long as you like it, take it away at any time, and Lao Ding's broken white jade Guanyin has not been sold for a year." ”
When Uncle Ding heard that Lao Zuo next to him said this, he quickly grabbed Zhang Xiaoyao and said, "Okay, young man, just according to the two thousand you said, take it away now, hurry up." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao knows that as long as there is aura, it is a good thing, but it has not been discovered by experts, and he doesn't want to take advantage of this Uncle Ding, although Uncle Ding is a little cunning, it is not easy to do a small business when he is old, not to mention that this white jade Guanyin Zhang Xiaoyao is definitely making a lot of money, so he counted two thousand yuan and gave it to Uncle Ding.
Took away the jade Guanyin Zhang Xiaoyao stuffed it into his pocket, and then went to Lao Zuo's booth to see the white jade Maitreya Buddha, and was happy to see it, there was still a white aura, Zhang Xiaoyao thought to himself that today was really a shit luck, so Zhang Xiaoyao deliberately praised Uncle Lao Zuo for being good, kinder than Uncle Ding, etc., and bought the white jade Maitreya Buddha for a thousand yuan and continued to walk inside.
Uncle Ding and Uncle Zuo, who left Lehehe, counted the money there, and from time to time they quarreled a few words: "Lao Ding, you have opened for almost 4,000 yuan, you have a treat tonight, let's have two drinks?"
"Lao Zuo, you girl, if you don't expose my old bottom, I will sell my white jade Guanyin for two thousand and a half, and please drink two cups? ”
Lao Zuo and Lao Ding's bickering attracted a circle of stall owners to laugh happily.
However, Zhang Xiaoyao was already far away from Lao Ding and Lao Zuo's stalls, and saw Zhang Xiaoyao approaching an antique small shop, the shop plaque was a four-character stubborn jade, a pair of couplets on the left stone is not open and not a jade, and the right jade is not a weapon.
In the store, an old man with a white beard calmly dressed in a Mao suit was sitting in front of the counter reading a newspaper, and there was a tea tray on the counter, on which was a pot of tea and a few teacups.
When the old man saw Zhang Xiaoyao enter the store, he skillfully made a pot of tea, poured a cup, handed it over, and invited Zhang Xiaoyao to sit on a wooden chair in front of the counter.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoyao drink two sips of tea, the old grandfather said: "Young people are easy to be impetuous, no matter what you do, you have to calm down first, tasting tea is tasting life, it lasts for a long time, and it is a guest at the door, and I only have a cup of tea to entertain, young people only have to choose what they like, the price is marked, and each piece is introduced." ”
It was the first time for Zhang Xiaoyao to see the shopkeeper and grandfather who entertained guests and sold things like this, so he put down the teacup and got up and began to look at all kinds of jade pieces one by one, one hundred, five hundred, five thousand, and twenty thousand, and even a piece of rough stone in the unopened, Zhang Xiaoyao turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, only to see that the old man was still sitting there drinking tea and did not look at his side.
Most of the jade pieces below 5,000 Zhang Xiaoyao have tested without aura, and the 20,000 test has a trace of aura, but there are not more than two pieces of aura bought at the stall outside, so Zhang Xiaoyao hit the idea on those unopened rough stones, a total of ten rough stones, with prices ranging from 2,000 to 20,000, adding up to a total price of about 50,000.
Zhang Xiaoyao tested the rough stones one by one, and finally determined that there were four pieces with aura, one large and two small three, and the largest one was the one with a price of 20,000 yuan.
The old man then paid attention to Zhang Xiaoyao's face, got up and filled Zhang Xiaoyao with tea and said: "Young man, you have finished reading, you have something you like, but looking at your teenage age and dress, you should not know how to be an expert, so just buy a cheap one and bring it yourself." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao drank two more sips of tea and got up and brought the aura jade he just saw to the counter, a 20,000 finished jade pieces, three rough stones, a total of 40,000 eight, Zhang Xiaoyao also felt that this shopkeeper grandfather was extraordinary, so he chose three pieces and left a larger rough stone for the shopkeeper, the right to do things to leave a line, and see each other in the future, Zhang Xiaoyao counted enough 40,000 eight to hand over to the shopkeeper's grandfather.
After accepting the money, the shopkeeper packed all the jade selected by Zhang Xiaoyao and handed it to Zhang Xiaoyao and said: "Young man, you are also relatively low-key, and you are also calm, you chose the 20,000 pieces of jade well, but the three pieces of original stones are a little impulsive, the stone is not opened, it is like gambling, gambling stones, it is also ten gambles and nine losses, have you decided? If you are not sure, you can still return it now." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao also appreciated the old man's practice and morality, but still resolutely bought the original stone and expressed his gratitude to the old man.
Just as Zhang Xiaoyao turned around and left the store and was walking to the door, the words of the shopkeeper's grandfather sounded behind him: "Young friend, if you are also a jade lover, you might as well go and see Xi'an Lantian Jade, XJ Hetian Jade, HN Dushan Jade, LN Xiuyan Jade and Burmese Jade Jade." ”
