Chapter 39: Old Man Qi
Liu Yuhao didn't dare to tell anyone about the mysterious functions of his Eight Brocade Technique, not even the old man Qi who treated him like a relative.
Besides, before I understand the reason, no one will believe it, even if I say it, is there an eye in this world that can see through and identify the age of objects? Don't be sent to the hospital as mentally ill before you explain it clearly.
Liu Yuhao has had a habit of being afraid of injections since he was a child, and when he was a child, he cried when he saw his aunt in a white coat, and now although he doesn't cry, he is still a little stunned when he sees the doctors and nurses. Thinking about sending himself to a hospital or a research institution, Liu Yuhao felt numb in his scalp and didn't dare to tell the truth.
"People have dissolved unwanted scraps? I don't know if I'm young! Qi Lao was finally reluctant to look up at Liu Yuhao, but it was just two big white eyes that were thrown over.
"It's because you're young that you're curious, students know it's wrong, teacher, don't be angry."
After knowing why Old Man Qi was angry, Liu Yuhao let out a long sigh of relief, and was a little disappreciative in his heart, but this kid was still clever, admitting his mistakes, his attitude was more sincere, and his face was written with guilt on his face.
"It's a stinky boy who knows it's wrong."
Qi Lao slammed the book in his hand to the table, looked at Liu Yuhao who was standing beside him, and said, "Don't go and bring the tea in." ”
"Well, I'll go."
Knowing in his heart that the old man was not angry, Liu Yuhao stuck out his tongue and ran out in embarrassment, if he turned around and saw the old man Qi's sly smile, don't vomit blood!
"I think you're more bold than you weigh now."
When Qi Lao said this, the expression of hatred on his face, in Liu Yuhao's body, Qi Ji pinned his entire hope and trust, this closed disciple will inherit his mantle in the future, and nothing can happen.
"Flutter"
Qi Lao's words made Liu Yuhao couldn't help laughing. What does it mean to have more guts than your weight? This metaphor is a bit exaggerated. It seems that the teacher is really confused, and Qi Lao, who usually doesn't smile, actually said such a thing, and the old man is really crazy.
"I really play it out of curiosity, and if the teacher is not happy, I will never contact it again."
When he said this, Liu Yuhao seemed so insincere. Also, it is impossible for anyone to give up so easily, Liu Yuhao is not a saint, and he also has the same thoughts as everyone, but now this situation still extinguishes the fire in the old man's heart first, and then it will not be fun to provoke the old man to get angry.
"And later? Do you know the phrase "ten bets and nine crosses". Many people are addicted to it because of the occasional gambling price rise, and they can't extricate themselves, and finally end up with a ruined family. You are the ancestor of him."
The more Qi Lao's words were spoken, the louder and louder they became. But when it came to Qi Lao's own master, Qi Lao shut up and stopped talking as if he was going to have something in his heart. As soon as the person was old, he was a little out of breath when he was excited, and the old man Qi scratched his words, and sat in the chair tiredly, panting with red ears.
Liu Yuhao had never seen the teacher lose such a big temper, so he quickly withdrew the little Jiujiu in his heart, looked at his nose and nose, and stood motionless, not knowing what to do.
"I also heard that you are wrapped up with He Shijie's grandson, is there such a thing?"
As soon as the two shou eyebrows were raised, the old man's eyes released two sharp glances, and in an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to be suddenly a few degrees lower, and Liu Yuhao felt that the breath he exhaled could become frost. It's so cold, I reached out and buttoned the most button of the shirt to have a warm feeling.
"He Shijie's grandson? Teacher, are you talking about He Xudong? ”
Liu Yuhao was confused by Old Man Qi's question, and he couldn't think of a reason. Why do teachers know so much about their own affairs? I even know who I'm with these days! This is not counting, listening to the old man's tone, it seems that he is very uninterested in He Xudong's grandfather.
Wondering, scratching his head, Liu Yuhao was sure that the old man would definitely not like He Xudong's grandfather. I had to say with a smiling face: "Everything is under your orders, teacher." ”
"Hmph, little slippery head, what do you think in your heart, you think I really don't know, I'm not old and confused."
Old Man Qi snorted heavily, but when he spoke, the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and it could be seen that he was still very satisfied with Liu Yuhao's attitude.
"Teacher, in fact, He Xudong is quite good."
I don't know why Liu Yuhao suddenly said such a sentence, and Liu Yuhao regretted it after saying it. Where is this, why did I suddenly help He Xudong speak? I don't know him well, huh? Odd!
In fact, Liu Yuhao doesn't know that the arrogance in his bones and his own surname are very similar to He Xudong, the so-called heroes cherish heroes, it is estimated that it is this kind of subconscious mutual understanding and respect between people, which belongs to the heart, and it has nothing to do with the length of communication.
"I don't care what he is, He Xudong or He Xuxi. In short, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to burrows, so He Shijie is not a good thing, I don't think he can teach any good birds in that house! Yu Hao, you are still too young to know the sinister nature of the outside world, so you should be a little more careful when interacting with people. ”
Qi Lao waved his big fan-like hand and shouted stubbornly. It was as if he didn't want to give Liu Yuhao any chance to explain at all, just to convey his thoughts to his apprentices like a command, and instill his understanding of the He family.
I have heard about you in the past few days, and early this morning, Qin Weixian sent that Duan inkstone. You can see Ni Duan from the bottom of the purple clay pot, which shows that you have worked hard in your studies in recent years, but this is far from enough, you must continue to learn new knowledge in order to continue to improve. I want to start by talking to you about this gambling stone. ”
"Rely on the traitor, it turned out to be Qin Weixian, this fat man." Liu Yuhao swung his fist at Qin Weixian in his heart, smashing the fat man a few times, especially puzzled, and kicked it. "Mara killed the traitor Qin Weixian next door!" Liu Yuhao glanced at the corners of his lips and smiled.
After calming down, Qi Lao no longer complained about Liu Yuhao's gambling on stones, but taught his students with a little pride. Liu Yuhao still sat on the side and listened carefully as always.
Qi Lao closed his eyes and said slowly, as if he was enjoying a memory.
In the past, the buying and selling of jadeite rough was the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry industry, and her mystery was in this "gambling", so the buyer had the saying of gambling jade and stone. Generally, only from the appearance can not see its true face of "Lushan" at a glance. Even today, with the advancement of science, there is no instrument that can quickly determine whether it is a "treasure jade" or a "ruined floc" through this shell, so it is very risky to buy and sell.
From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was a jargon in the jewelry industry called "gambling house", and the so-called "gambling house" refers to a pair of discerning eyes for jewelry players to look for jadeite in jewelry stores. The success of the jadeite trade, especially the rough trade, depends on luck, like gambling and lottery, to invest in the future.
According to the "Dian Hai Yu Heng Zhi" written by Tan Cui in the Qing Dynasty, it is recorded: "The jade came out of the South Jinsha River, and the river used to belong to Tengyue, which was more than 2,000 miles away from the state. Yi people mined out of the riverbank, each pile of coarse ore, the size of the pebble, I don't know that there is jade, and the beauty and evil of jade, the estimator bought at will, transported to Dali and Yunnan Province, there are jade workshops, the solution to the jade, the flat land is rich! This is the historical origin of the "gambling stone" trade on the border between China and Myanmar and Thailand.
"Do you know the 'Washi Wall'?" Qi Lao opened his eyes and asked Liu Yuhao. Of course, Liu Yuhao knew this story, but he didn't know what Old Qi was going to say, so he just nodded, looked at this old man with a focused expression, and did not interject to speak. Qi Lao didn't have to ask Liu Yuhao to answer, he took a sip of tea and closed his eyes again, Qi Lao continued.
One of the most famous gambling stones in Chinese history is the "Heshi Wall". According to legend, two thousand years ago, there was a man named Bian He in the state of Chu, and he found a piece of jade. The two monarchs who took it out and dedicated it to the Chu State thought that they had been deceived, and cut off his left and right legs one after another. Bian He couldn't walk without legs, he hugged Yupu and cried in Chushan for three days and three nights, and then the king of Chu found out, so he sent someone to bring Yupu and Yugong to dissect it. The result is a gem-quality jade. This gemstone was named "Washi Wall".
Later, this gem was owned by King Zhao Hui, and King Qin Zhao promised to exchange fifteen cities for this gem, which shows the high value of this gem. This gemstone was later carved into a jade seal of the country, and it was not lost until the Western Jin Dynasty. If Bian He can survive to this day, he must be an outstanding gambling stone master. You must know that it takes a deep knowledge of jade to be able to see the advantages and disadvantages of jade through the outer skin of jade. "Immortals are hard to break, and Master Cunyu often misses." When jade is underground, it is mysterious, and no instrument can detect it. When it came out, there was a layer of rock shell on the outside, and no one could tell what was inside the shell, so the process of judging jade was called "gambling stone" in the industry.
These things are actually familiar to Liu Yuhao, but when the teacher said it, Liu Yuhao still listened to it with relish, and occasionally wrote a few in the small book at hand.
"I don't let you gamble on stones, it's all for your future, you didn't have much money in your hands, I wasn't worried much before, but now that you have money, and you make money from gambling stones, I can't help but worry, don't fall into it!." Qi Lao said earnestly
