Shen Jiahang is not a wealthy family, but Shen Shen is also a wealthy person, and he is very humble when he visits him, and he is grateful to Xie Qin and his wife for taking care of their son during this time. As for why his son went to Chongqing to be a guest house waiter, Shen Shenyi explained it this way

After graduating from university, Shen Sibao went to Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts to study, and when he graduated with a master's degree, Shen Shenyi wanted his son to come back to take care of the family business. However, Shen Sibao thinks that running a scholar's calligraphy and painting itself requires enough humanistic accumulation, and he is still too young to walk around.

So Shen Sibao left and went to work in various places. Not long ago, I also went to Chongqing. Shen Shenyi didn't know that his son was working as a waiter at the Zogou Guest House, and he was very surprised when he heard about it, so he rushed over, claiming that he was relieved to see the Xie family and his wife. They are very good people and take good care of the Four Treasures, and the Four Treasures have learned a lot of things here that they can't learn elsewhere.

Shen Sibao replied to Zhou Mengzhuang's words yesterday. Explain Zhuangzi first and then explain the question, Xie Qin and his wife felt that this guy was not simple, and they secretly wondered in their hearts, but the situation at that time didn't have time to pay attention to him, and before they could ask carefully, Shen Shenyi, the boss of Sibaozhai, came to the door. Their reaction was surprise at first, then abruptly, and then the more they looked at Shen Sibao, the more they wanted to laugh, and they thought this guy was quite cute.

Xie Qin showed the strength of hindsight. said that he felt that he was not simple when he saw Shen Sibao at the beginning, otherwise, why would so many people invite him back to the guest house? This young man is really outstanding, and he wants to be trained as a guest house manager, so he is too condescending. Regardless of whether this is true or not, everyone will have fun when they listen to it.

The timing of Shen Shen's visit was very coincidental, and the Xie family and his wife were in a good mood, because their daughter's strange illness for many years was successfully cured, and there were no adverse sequelae, how could they be unhappy? That night, the hotel that still held the banquet last night booked a private room to open a table to entertain Shen Shenyi, who came from afar.

The Xie family and his wife have a very good impression of the Shen family's father and son. The atmosphere at the wine table was very cheerful, and Xie Xiaoding and Shen Sibao, a pair of young people, had a lot of whispers, and Xiaoding pestered Sibao and asked this and that in a whisper. When the tone said that he wanted to reach out and pinch his ears in the mysterious place, he was stopped by Xie Qin with a straight face, and Sibao kept laughing.

While chatting at the wine table, Shen Shenyi asked his son what his son's plans were next? Sibao whispered that he wanted to study abroad, mainly to better broaden his horizons. Then everyone else stopped talking, each with their own thoughts.

Shen Shenyi pondered for a long time and nodded: "Originally, I was still not very relieved, but seeing that you have taken good care of yourself during this time, it is not a bad thing to learn more and have more experience while you are young." As for where to study, you decide for yourself, and if you need my help, just say it, so what about now? Even if you go to study abroad, you can't leave right away. ”

Shen Sibao said with a smile: "At the moment, I am still a waiter at the chair dog guest house, at least I can't finish the work this summer vacation, and as soon as you come, Dad, I will resign and quit, which is not a good attitude."

Xie Qin hurriedly waved his hand and joked: "Four, you are too polite, otherwise, you two." Months to be a guest house manager? Let me also take a summer break? ”

Xie Xiaoding clapped his hands and said, "Good idea." After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law coming to Chongqing?" Sister Xiaoxian specially told him to recruit him well, and Sibao and I accompanied him to play everywhere, there are many fun places near Chongqing! Sibao, you've been here for three months, and you haven't had time to go out yet, right? That's a guest house job, Dad, don't you say? ”

Shen Sibao whispered: "You Fang said, don't call your brother-in-law indiscriminately, the relationship between people and your sister has not yet been determined!" It's nothing for you to call a boy like that, the key is that your little fairy sister is soft-skinned, and the girl's family has a bad influence. ”

Gong Rong nodded and said: "Sibao is right, Xiaoxian didn't say it explicitly, you don't have to scream at your brother-in-law and brother-in-law, this guy from You Fang is indeed very good, if he didn't come this time, he wouldn't have invited Mr. Zhou to cure your illness so coincidentally." ”

The meal was over, Shen Shenyi did not stay in the Yiyan Guest House, coincidentally, he also stayed in the Yangtze Island Hotel, and only stayed for two nights. Something happened early the next morning and flew back to Hangzhou, and Xiao Ding accompanied Sibao to the airport to see him off.

After Shen Shen left, the "thing" of the tour party that afternoon. It's done, and he took Hua Youxian back to the Yiyan Guest House, Xie Qin and his wife were still very concerned about Zhou Mengzhuang's situation, but You Fang didn't answer any flaws. The happiest person is Xie Xiaoding. Pulled You Fang and said that he must go out for a good time in the past few days, brought Xiaosi with his bag, and told him very excitedly about Shen Shenyi's visit, chattering non-stop.

Since Xiaoding's illness has been cured, You Fang originally planned to find an excuse to leave here, and he always has 20,000 yuan in his pocket for nothing, and it is not like that, he is not Xie Xiaoding's "brother-in-law" after all. But it's not good to say that I'll just leave, I'm thinking about what excuse to find, seeing that Xie Xiaoding's interest is so high, let's go shopping with them for a day or two first, and it can be regarded as someone who has entertained them.

What is the relationship between Shen Sibao and Xie Ding now? The parents on both sides knew it, but they didn't say it. Young people, let's slowly cultivate their feelings, it's not fashionable to arrange now. The Xie family's parents were worried that their daughter would not be able to find a partner, but now they are not in a hurry, such a beautiful and lovely girl, are they still afraid that they will not be able to get married? But from the bottom of their hearts, they felt very good about Shen Sibao, and now they think about it. This guy's cutest old "is before Xie Xiaoding's illness was cured." I just like her

The next day, You Fang, Hua Youxian, Shen Siyu, and Xie Xiaoding, the four young people, went out shopping. Because he knew what Shen Sibao's family was doing, Xie Xiaoding specially took them to Porcelain Guzhen, known as "Little Chongqing". It is a microcosm of Chongqing's thousand-year-old prosperity, known as Longyin Town in ancient times, and was named porcelain mouth in the early years of the Qing Dynasty because it became a porcelain business distribution center.

The ancient town is east of the Jialing River, only three kilometers away from the bustling main city, there are old streets in the town that were built in the Song Dynasty after thousands of years of changes, a total of 12 streets and alleys, the ground is paved with stone slabs, most of the buildings on both sides are Ming and Qing Dynasty styles, and the shops along the street are lined with antique.

At noon, in a very quaint restaurant decorated in the town, I tasted the special flavor of Mao Xuewang and Qianzhang Skin, and the spicy Shen Sibao opened his mouth to inhale, drank beer in a big gulp, and then continued to eat. It sweats well in hot and humid solar terms.

After eating, the four of them visited the ancient temple of the Tang Dynasty Baolun Temple, this tourist attraction is now the area does not sense its aura, and Chongqing City is full of messy disturbances, most of the buildings are built in the past dynasties, such as the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty columns, the lattice windows of the Republic of China, the tiles and so on in the past ten years. You Fang is most interested in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, which is also the eye of this ancient town. The earth qi spirit is extraordinarily pure and vigorous.

This hall is the relics of the Tang Dynasty, the main beam is also engraved with the words of "Yu Chi Gong Jianxiu", and the wooden structure is connected without a nail. There is a pair of rare Taiji pillars in the hall. The two of them hug the thickness together, carved with a coiled dragon lifelike, a pillar of the cornerstone protrudes out of the ground, the ground is angry, and a pillar of the cornerstone is a few inches down. The earth's qi is sinking, but it is only between the two feet.

With these two pillars as the pivot of the array, the spirit of heaven and earth is naturally operated, and the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall is actually arranged into a semi-artificial, semi-natural yin and yang formation pattern. Is that okay? You Fang was almost stunned! He is very good at studying the Yin and Yang Formation Array, so he can see it at a glance. There is naturally no problem with the spar array and the formation with divine sense, but how to lead the yin and yang between heaven and earth to rotate at the same time in one place has not been able to grasp the essentials, and the most mysterious part of this formation has not yet been grasped. See the main hall of Baolun Temple. He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the temple was called "Treasure Wheel."

It seems that traveling the world is too important for a generation of earth masters, if it is not for the coincidence of entering the Baolun Temple today, you Fang wants to comprehend such mysteries. I don't know how long it will take to understand. He secretly thought in his heart, such a running formation is still not strong now, and when the skill is profound in the future, he must try to practice the magic of this heaven and earth treasure wheel.

Shen Sibao also looked at the two pillars and the entire hall for a long time without saying a word, I don't know what he thought in his heart?

There is even a well in front of the statue of the Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is covered with a stone drum. Of course, building a well here is not to draw water, it is a standard feng shui well; It is also the center of the ground of this town, this temple, this hall, and this array, and the introduction of the agile qi of the Jialing River can move the natural operation of this formation.

There is a legend that this well can pass through the "nine stone jars" of Jialing River Bay. "Someone once threw a duck into the well, and afterwards in the "Nine Stone Jar." Now the duck has swam out. Legends are just legends, but this ancient well that is quietly sealed with a stone drum can sense the mighty air flow of the dragon water in his consciousness, just like standing at the gyration of the Jialing River, isn't it shocking?

You Fang practiced the Jianmu Heart Method at Chaotianmen. I realized that in the countless disturbances, the two rivers are vibrant, and there is stillness and intangibility in the movement; When I saw this small ancient well in Baolun Temple, I felt that there was movement in the stillness. Everywhere in the sky. This is a realm that he can only imagine at present, and the operation of his divine consciousness is not yet within his reach, and now he has experienced it firsthand, and he can integrate and nourish his mind and spirit.

What's even more interesting is that all the wonders in the main hall were not noticed by You Fang when he entered the temple. After entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the impact on my heart can be imagined, and I didn't say anything for a long time.

Could it be that the work of divine consciousness and divine thought requires the combination of the two and the operation of such mysteries as the spiritual center? I saw the way to break through the level, but my kung fu didn't reach that point! At this time, he was inexplicably thinking, if he traveled with him to Yinghua today, what would be the feeling of exchange and verification?

Alas, why did I think of her again? Don't you want to think about it anymore!

Since it was a group of several people, it was impossible to stay here for too long, so the tour party secretly made up his mind. He will come back to this place to experience and comprehend the mysteries of feng shui. Interestingly. When a few people walked out of the main hall, Shen Sibao also had this thought, he seemed to lose his mind, and he didn't even notice You Fang's abnormal reaction.

Walk out of the Baolun Temple and wander in the town, come to the antique street, here to operate all kinds of antique calligraphy and painting, tourism handicrafts, of course, full of all kinds of antiques, fake more, real less.

With the eye of the wandering party, even if you don't use your sense, you can basically know what the color of the goods is when you glance at it and touch it. Shen Sibao is also an expert in this aspect, don't forget what he does at home, he chatted all the way, and the two talked very speculatively. Shen Sibao was surprised by You Fang's professional level in cultural relics appreciation, and Xie Xiaoding rushed to explain that You Fang was a graduate student at the School of Archaeology and Museums of Peking University.

It can be seen that Shen Sibao's education in this area is quite formal, and he cites scriptures when talking about any topic. And the little wanderer is a person who has walked through the wild road and the right road, he has had a family tradition of the Jianghu book since he was a child, and since he met Wu Pingdong, he has also received a formal archaeological education, including his

If you talk about pure eyesight, this kind of person should be the best, and his father is doing "antique." The distinction between true and false is clearest. Most of the people from the serious academy do not have such experience, unless it is a first-class master like Zhou Xiaoxian. The level is not below You Zuming. Shen Sibao has a family education, and he is a master of the secret method of mastering divine sense, and he is also very good at appreciation, but it is a different style.

You Fang is from the Jianghu faction, but he talks about his academic profession without revealing his identity flaws, Shen Sibao is from the academy, but he talks about the Jianghu Taobao very casually. This street is also lively.

The two of them chatted lively, Hua Youxian listened attentively with wide eyes, but Xie Xiaoding was a little impatient, pouting and saying dissatisfiedly: "You two are of a high level." I know! Can't you talk about all these things I don't understand? ”

Shen Sibao apologized with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about something else." ”

Then they talked about the authenticity of the antiques in the shops on the roadside, each with its own intentions. Shen Sibao made Xiao Ding happy, and deliberately asked her to watch it first, and then he explained, as if he was secretly cultivating spiritual sense. On the contrary, he pointed out the age, authenticity and usefulness of each thing to Hua Youxian, so that Hua Youxian felt like he had induced spars in the Jiangxi mine. It is also in the dark to guide the clarity of spiritual sense.

Hee-hee-ha is busy all the way, but unfortunately there are too many fakes and too few genuine goods here, and the real goods that I occasionally see are ordinary copper coins, clay pots, scattered jade, and miscellaneous porcelain from folk kilns. to the end. You Fang and Shen Sibao simply chatted about the counterfeiting of antiques and analyzed the counterfeiting of various fake antiques on the roadside

Segment.

Xie Xiaoding was very naughty, and after listening to it, he ran into the shop and asked people, is the thing sold fake like that? Shen Sibao hurriedly pulled her back. and told her not to be so foolish.

When a few people walked into a calligraphy and painting shop at random. You Fang and Shen Sibao almost looked at the corner of the glass counter, where there was a couplet written in hand on silk.

Hua Youxian and Xie Xiaoding also involuntarily noticed. At the same time, he frowned, his expression was a little strange, as if he was not feeling well.

This is not an ordinary couplet, looking at the content and format is an elegiac couplet. Buying calligraphy and painting also has to be a picture, auspicious, who can buy the elegiac couplet written to the deceased and hang it back? This kind of thing is actually put in the calligraphy and painting shop, because it is the handiwork of modern celebrities. This elegiac couplet was written by Li Hongzhang, mourning Xue Huan's side room, Mrs. Jin, and also his daughter-in-law's family. Xue Huan, a native of Yibin, Sichuan, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, an official to the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu, was in charge of the trade affairs of Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou, Taiwan, and Tamsui.

The history of his people is complicated. In his early years, he set up foreign affairs in office, and in his later years, he built a college in his hometown. In the Second Opium War, he strongly advocated strengthening coastal defenses, and Beijing and Tianjin should prepare for war as soon as possible to meet the enemy; In dealing with trade affairs, we will try to uphold sovereign interests as far as possible within our capabilities at the time. But on the other hand, he also colluded with the British, French, and American armies. Cooperate to encircle and suppress the Heavenly Kingdom.

This kind of thing is usually burned after the memorial service, and the heart is expressed to the spirit in the sky. Generally unlikely to stay. If you see this kind of antiquity, it may be that the family of the deceased thinks that the identity of the writer is special and worth preserving, or it is placed in the tomb as a funerary object.

Seeing that Hua Youxian's expression was not very comfortable, You Fang asked in a low voice: "This is a memorial to the deceased, look at it yourself, how do you feel?" ”

Hua Youxian frowned and said, "According to our hometown, there is yin qi and I feel uncomfortable on my body. ”

You Fang: "Describe it more carefully. ”

Hua Youxian thought for a while: "It seems that something is scattering out, and the glass can't stop it, just like the fallen leaves buried under the soil in winter, there seems to be an invisible smell."

You Fang nodded: "You described it well. It was taken out of the burial chamber and unearthed for some years, but it has been sealed and has only recently been put on display. ”

Hua Youxian was slightly taken aback, and whispered: "Could this be ,,? ”

You Fang still nodded silently, acquiescing that this thing was stolen by tomb robbers. Induction to distinguish its physical properties. It is an elegy that was buried with the owner of the tomb. It shouldn't have been unearthed for a short time, but it was only recently taken out. It could only have been stolen from the tomb of Mrs. Kim, and there could be no other origin.

It appeared in this shop and was sold as an antique calligraphy and painting, and it seems that the owner of the shop is more or less two hundred and five. I know calligraphy and painting identification, but I don't care too much about anything else. This kind of thing is also difficult to manage in today's chaotic cultural relics market, and the owner can say that he received it from the countryside, anyway, it is something more than a hundred years ago, and no one can tell the origin.

And over there, Xie Xiaoding pulled Shen Sibao's sleeve and said, "This couplet is so weird!" ”

Shen Sibao explained: "This is an elegiac couplet, written to commemorate the deceased, looking at the title and the inscription, it was written by Li Hongzhang to Xue Huan's wife Jin, which should be a funeral thing." The contaminated yin qi is heavier. ”

Xie Xiaoding: "No wonder I don't feel comfortable looking at it!" , who is Xue Huan? ”

Shen Sibao really knew, and explained to Xie Xiaoding in a whisper on the side. At this time, a clerk came out from behind and beckoned, "Several." Want to buy calligraphy and paintings? ”

You Fang nodded and said, "Yes, I want this couplet from Wuxia, boss, you can make a price!" ”
