Chapter 95: Little Uncle Tang Baolin
Cui Ze came to visit Luo Wenxuan out of consideration for his sister-in-law, hoping that Luo Wenxuan could take more care of his sister-in-law.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Cui Ze is more confident and calm, and his bearing is extraordinary, Luo Wenxuan is really impressive, and the secret road must be proud of the spring breeze in Yanjing.
The two chatted for a while, Cui Ze said goodbye, and the sister-in-law also came down to wait, and saw that Cui Ze's car was actually a Mercedes-Benz S600 with a Chengzhou license plate, not to mention the sister-in-law, even Luo Wenxuan was also taken aback.
This made Luo Wenxuan even more polite, and even made an appointment to have dinner together next time.
Luo Wenxuan returned to the office and immediately called a friend in Chengzhou to ask if he was familiar with the license plate of the Mercedes-Benz. When he learned that it was the car of the boss of Hengguang Real Estate Chengzhou Branch, he was stunned.
People are awesome people who can have direct contact with the mayor of Chengzhou or even the vice governor, but I didn't expect Cui Ze to be involved with this kind of person.
Could it be that the relationship between the Li family and Cui Ze is so good because Cui Ze has a more powerful character behind him?
Luo Wenxuan had countless questions, but he quickly dispelled all thoughts and secretly decided that he must give Cui Hongyu better treatment.
Cui Ze took his sister-in-law to buy some food, and then went home directly, it is not yet the rush hour after work, so naturally there is no congestion at all, and he can drive with ease.
Sending his sister-in-law home, he drove to Wenhua Road again, preparing to pick up his uncle Tang Baolin.
Cui Ze's little uncle Tang Baolin used to be a folk artist, who could paint and sculpt, not only has an artistic temperament, but also is kind and simple, Cui Ze's favorite is this little uncle.
However, in Tang Baolin's era, folk artists had a hard time and couldn't make money. As a result, Yang Weiguang and his aunt were very disgusted, and persuaded his sister-in-law to divorce him several times, and later made a lot of trouble.
Indeed, in that era when secular views were based on power as the standard for measuring people, Tang Baolin was far behind Yang Weiguang.
Later, Yang Weiguang got Tang Baolin into his state-owned enterprise and became a temporary worker, and those years were also the most painful years for Tang Baolin, doing heavy and boring physical work, and being ridiculed and ridiculed by vulgar workers, and even bullied, he has been silently enduring. Later, it was the sister-in-law who felt sorry for him, so she resolutely asked him to quit his job and go to the street to set up a stall to carve seals for people.
This has also become a place where Yang Weiguang's family criticized and looked down on his sister-in-law's family, saying that they didn't know how to lift, and good workers didn't do it, and they wanted to work as hawkers.
In the following years, the Yang family did not sarcastically ridicule Tang Baolin, but later the times changed, the workers of state-owned enterprises declined, and various self-employed people emerged, which can be regarded as no reason to ridicule Tang Baolin.
But once they meet, ridicule is still indispensable. Who called him the vice president of a state-owned enterprise?
Tang Baolin opened a small shop, selling a little handicrafts made by himself, as well as paintings painted by himself, and the income was not much, even after deducting the rent, he had an income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but he enjoyed it. The sister-in-law Cui Hongyu also supported him very much and did not dislike him because of this.
The relationship between my aunt and his wife has always been very good, if it wasn't for being tossed by Yang Weiguang's family for a few years, I'm afraid it would be better.
Cui Ze has always respected Tang Baolin, this is a real folk master, but he has not been able to give full play to his talent and has not realized his true value.
Tang Baolin is a good person with good rewards, and when he met his sister-in-law, even if his income was several times that of his, he was still very good to him. If it were someone like Jiang Ya, Cui Ze would only be able to hehe.
When he arrived at Tang Baolin's store, Cui Ze began to smile hippie, and the whole person was very relaxed. At home, he can only be serious, after all, he is the pillar of the family, and he can't let his mother feel that he is not mature yet.
Tang Baolin is a person who can understand and tolerate others, of course, he also has one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, his experience over the years has made him very lacking in confidence, and he has always been quite inferior, only after drinking, especially when he is drunk, that is when his real talent shines.
There are not many customers in Tang Baolin's shop, but they are all repeat customers, regular customers, who know Tang Baolin's ability and appreciate his mastery skills.
Every time Tang Baolin is asked to carve a seal, jade jewelry, inkstone, etc., these regular customers will automatically bring two bottles of wine, and by the way, they will get some food, and then go to Tang Baolin's store to sit down, drink relatively and chat casually.
Tang Baolin is also a person of temperament, if he is a sincere guest, he can see at a glance, he can also drink happily, when carving will be very attentive, very thoughtful, the general works are breathtaking.
This tradition is still preserved to this day, and as long as you enter his shop and smell the smell of alcohol, you will know that there is business at noon.
As soon as he heard that he was going to his house to drink, Tang Baolin immediately packed up and prepared to close the shop. Generally, if there are regular customers, they will call in advance to make an appointment.
"Little uncle, you are really a master now." Cui Ze couldn't help but make a joke about Tang Baolin.
"Hey, don't scorn me, I can only say that I am half a master." Tang Baolin grinned, he didn't have a frame at all, he looked like an ordinary craftsman.
It is said that it is half a master, but in fact, it is like this, the Yishan folk artist group gave Tang Baolin such an introduction, which means that Tang Baolin is an ordinary person without touching art, and the paintbrush and carving knife in his hand are half a master, if he is happy, he is a real master.
In these years, in the whole of China, it is really rare to be called a master.
Although this statement is ridiculous, it is also full of bitterness, a character who could have become a master, but was trampled by the customs, and once lived a wretched and humble life. If it weren't for the understanding and support of his family, Tang Baolin would have been abolished a long time ago.
Cui Ze also sighed, how good it would be if Tang Baolin could get out of his psychological cage and become a real master.
He knew that Tang Baolin's psychology was not something that could be cured by doing a few psychotherapy, but that it was necessary to stimulate him through specific things, give him confidence, and make him completely awake.
It seems that there is a long way to go this time, in addition to his father, there is also Tang Baolin, a master, waiting to be rescued by himself.
While Tang Baolin was cleaning up, Cui Ze began to browse his works, and saw a few small jade pendants that Tang Baolin had recently completed, so he picked them up and played with them carefully.
Still, he was taken aback by the play.
These jade pendants are ingenious, but what attracts him is the material, these jade may not be very valuable in the market, just some low-grade jade, but the internal molecular arrangement is very close to Cui Ze's imagination, he has always wanted to find this kind of jade, because this kind of jade can be born as a spirit jade.
This is the 31st century saying, the so-called spiritual jade, is able to absorb the energy of the universe independently, guided by the spiritual mind, can be sensed by the wearer, so that the human body can be stimulated by the energy of the universe, not only good for the body, the most important thing is that it is very helpful to the human soul, can boost people's spirit.
Now a lot of jade has the effect of calming people's minds, but it is too weak, and this kind of jade in Cui Ze's hand, as long as it is opened, it can have a strong effect, and it is also good for the human body.
Human beings can absorb the energy of the universe, and the legends of ancient times have immortals who have the power of heaven and earth, and those actually exist, but they are exaggerated. After standing at the top of the food chain, humanity began to truly degenerate, that is, to absorb the energy of the universe by eating. It is sad that green plants can still photosynthesize, but many of the miraculous abilities of human beings have been degraded.
In the 31st century, these have been declassified.
The enlightenment that Cui Ze said is actually similar to the enlightenment of this era, but it is more advanced, less mysterious, and direct and effective.
The consecration of Buddhism has all kinds of cumbersome rituals, but in fact, it is not necessary. The modern interpretation of consecration is a religious ritual, which is divided into Buddhist consecration, Taoist consecration, etc., according to different religions. Enlightenment originally came from Taoism, and it is one of the Taoist rituals, that is, the invisible and boundless true spirit in the universe is injected into the idol, and the idols also have the spirituality of boundless mana. Buddhism did not have consecration, but Buddhism has a ritual of blessing Buddha statues, which is similar to consecration. Until now, they are all called Kaiguang.
Both of them have something in common, that is, the practitioner corresponds to the Dao heart, is in harmony with the powerful energy in the universe, and prays for the blessings of the Bodhisattva and the Dao Monarch with his own cultivation power, wish power, and mantra power, so as to wash away the dirt in the nature of the enlightened object, and stimulate the original energy connotation of the enlightened object.
There is a truth here, but with the addition of religious explanations, Cui Ze only agrees with one sentence, that is, before the mascot is opened, just like all living beings in the world, the real spiritual light is polluted by ignorance and dirt, and cannot stimulate the real energy.
Human beings are born ignorant, and they need to gradually open up their spiritual wisdom through learning and thinking, so as to fit in with the operation of the cosmic avenue.
Other creatures and objects cannot be learned and spiritually opened through writing, culture and art, so they can only be through other means.
And to consecrate the jade pendant is to let the jade pendant have the ability to operate on its own and absorb the energy of the universe.
This would have been a very difficult process, but once Cui Ze had this jade in his hand, it would be easy to open the light, and the effect would be even better.
He had tried it before, and gave Gao Ying and Li Huaixuan both enlightened jade pendants, all of which said that they had an effect, Gao Ying may not be obvious because he often had him treated, but Li Huaixuan always called him and said that it was useful, this jade pendant made his mind a lot clearer, and his mood was also very stable.
With this 31st-century jade, known as Nerve Jade, he would have been more confident in his treatment.
"Little uncle, I'll take these pendants and play with them." These are treasures, don't fall into the hands of those who don't understand.
Tang Baolin nodded, what he made, as long as people really like it, it is okay not to give money. Because of this, he has accumulated a group of regular customers over the years.
