Chapter 126: Old Man Wei
Bai Ze saw at a glance Pang Laosan, who was talking to a tall young man in the distance, this kid was full of fat brains, and he was not tall, but he had to raise his chin high when he spoke. At the same time, Bai Ze's appearance obviously attracted his attention.
A middle-aged man with a white paper fan in his hand smiled at Bai Ze from afar, then lowered his head and whispered something in his ear, Pang Laosan turned his head and glared fiercely in the direction of Pei Yan and Bai Ze.
But at this time, it is obviously not the best time to "do things", Bai Ze has a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he only glanced at it, and then he didn't look at it anymore, there were not many people on the scene, but they were all well-dressed, either rich or expensive, this kind of atmosphere also made Bai Ze very unaccustomed.
"Look, Old Man Wei is here, and Secretary Wei is also with him."
"The one next to her is Secretary Wei's daughter, I heard that she is teaching at ...... North Hebei University."
I don't know who was sharp-eyed, I saw a few people walking in outside the door, and after saying a word, there was a sudden twitch in the entire big theater, and then everyone walked in towards the door, naturally divided into two rows, Bai Ze heard the sound and looked towards the source of the twitching, and immediately saw a white-haired, energetic old man surrounded by a group of people, walked in.
The old man's steps were very steady, and his feet stepped down alternately, as if they were light and heavy, and he looked no different from ordinary old men, but he seemed to be very light. On his left stood a middle-aged man with a lofty instrument, and on his right stood two girls, but they were Wei Tianzi and Xiangxiang, who had just separated from Bai Ze.
"So it's a family ......!" Frowning slightly, Bai Ze suddenly realized, no wonder he met Wei Tianzi on the antique street. It was also because he was usually too focused on practicing boxing and swordsmanship, which overlooked many things, otherwise Bai Ze would have guessed the truth of the matter from just some clues and previous conversations.
This old man is Wei Baohua, the most famous ancient weapon master in the domestic collection industry, and the middle-aged man next to him is his son, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Gancheng, that is, Wei Tianzi's father.
"How's that, you're surprised, aren't you?" Pei Yan stood very decently, and at the same time did not forget to explain to Bai Ze in a low voice: "Don't look at Old Man Wei's identity as a collector to the outside world, in fact, the Beiwei family in Jibei is an authentic red family!" Mr. Wei's father once spent a period of time in the Shandong Guoshu Museum, and later fought in the Anti-Japanese War, joined the Red Army, and was an old man in the Central Guard Regiment. ”
In addition, Mr. Wei also participated in the revolution when he was a teenager, and playing collecting is just a hobby after retirement. Nuo, that is his son, the parent official of our Gancheng ground, the secretary of the municipal party committee Wei Guofeng, is in the prime of life, and it is said that he has been favored by the people above, and his future is immeasurable. ”
"Besides, don't think that this is just a private exhibition! The people who are qualified to receive invitations to come here are all local celebrities, and this is about to change, and the relationship is not sloppy. Especially this big theater, which was built by Cao Kun back then, has always been a fusion of business, culture, performance, and various circles of communication, if these people can form a group, the influence and representativeness will be terrifying, and ordinary people can't think of it. And I also heard that at this party, there are also a few tide stalls in the capital who come to join in the fun, and there is one of them, who may be particularly interested in your beautiful alumnus ....... ”
Pei Yan's gaze swept over Wei Tianzi's face, and then looked at Bai Ze beside him, smiling with a little not too innocent, as if he meant something. He has been a soldier for so many years, and he has a keen eye when he practices guns, and he has long seen that after Wei Tianzi entered the big theater, his eyes always looked at Bai Ze again, his eyes were different, and then he thought that the two were alumni and lived in the same dormitory building, and he suddenly thought about it.
Bai Ze rolled the whites of his eyes, he was really helpless against Pei Yan, and he didn't pay attention to it at the moment, just listened quietly, looking around with his eyes.
As soon as the three generations of the Wei family came in, they kept greeting the people in the theater all the way. The people present all greeted each other respectfully, and for a while, the voices in the entire hall were much quieter. Especially Wei Tianzi's father, he was even more unsmiling, so that people couldn't help but lower their posture to look up. Before I knew it, my mentality was taken by it.
"What a big official!" Although Gancheng is only a prefecture-level city, it has the largest population in northern Hebei, and it is close to the south of the capital, and the person who can be the leader here must of course have something to rely on, although Bai Ze has just known the origin of Wei Tianzi's family and is not familiar with it, but it does not prevent him from making his own assessment of this family as an outsider.
"It is said that those who are officials should benefit one party. Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty also left two sentences of political precepts, saying that "private crimes must not be had, and public crimes must not be dispensed with", if the official can really do it, the public is selfless, and this person's temperament can already be called the ...... to the greatest. Bai Ze saw that the momentum on the middle-aged man's body was condensed, and everyone surrendered in front of him, succumbing to the situation, and somehow thought of his swordsmanship.
"When the Mudao people taught me to learn the sword, they once said that the truth of the world, in the end, returning to the origin is the same, if you want to practice the sword well, you must first have the right mind. The sword is a gentleman, and 'a gentleman has three changes: he looks at it as if he is warm, and he is strong when he listens to his words; It is said that it is in the realm of swordsmanship, and I want to understand it well. In the Confucian classics, the gentleman is particularly admired, and Mencius uses four words to describe it, that is, the spirit of Haoran, the greatest to the strongest, and the harmless with direct maintenance, which is stuffed between heaven and ......earth. ”
"Qi is directly nourished and harmless...... I am good at cultivating Haoran's qi......? These words can be used in swordsmanship! Yuan Shi's swordsmanship was originally taught in nature, which does not seem to conflict with the discussion in some classics, if some of the principles are used to evolve into fist theory and sword theory, maybe I can take a lot of unjust roads.
Bai Zelai didn't come to visit this ancient weapons exhibition in the first place, so as soon as his heart was touched, he immediately stood in place and thought about it, ignoring the people and things around him.
However, just because he doesn't pay attention to others doesn't mean that others don't pay attention to him.
Just when Bai Ze suddenly thought of many things and fell into deep thought, suddenly Wei Tianzi's voice sounded in his ears.
"Bai Ze, I just saw you leave in a hurry, it turns out that your destination is also here! ……。 ”
It turned out that at this time, everyone in the hall had finished greetings, and Wei Tianzi saw Bai Ze standing in a daze for some reason, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took his grandfather's arm and walked straight over.
Bai Ze was interrupted, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy for a while, but he also knew that on this occasion, he couldn't allow himself to comprehend swordsmanship at all, so he had to turn his eyes, raise his eyelids, and take a clear look at the old man of the Wei family who had already come closer.
The crowd was surging just now, and they all went to the door in one breath, although Bai Ze saw the old man, he only looked at it slightly, and had a little initial impression, at this time, he took a closer look, and only then did he see Wei Tianzi's grandfather's demeanor and appearance, which was really extraordinary, and it also confirmed his previous thoughts.
According to what Pei Yan said, the old man Wei Baohua is in his seventies this year, but his face is round, and although the skin on his face is wrinkled, he does not have the eye bags of ordinary elderly people, and the pores are delicate, and there are no age spots at all. The two eyes were clear and bright, blazing, with white hair and a beard three or four inches long, all meticulously combed, bright and soft.
This old man is not tall, lean and clear, wearing a white cotton Tang suit, stepping on a thousand-layer bottom of round cloth shoes, close, at a glance it looks quite a little bit of the ancients said "white hair and red face" taste, which also has a trace of Taoist inaction.
"Sure enough, he's a master of sword practice!!"
Bai Ze's vision was different from ordinary people, when he saw Wei Baohua for the first time, he instinctively felt that the momentum on this old man's body had something that he seemed to be very familiar with, and the other party specialized in collecting ancient weapons and swords, so it would definitely not be "groundless".
Because most of the people who are obsessed with collecting weapons and swords have some martial arts roots, at least they must know the characteristics and usage of the collection.
"Pei Yan also said just now that this old man's father came out of the Shandong Guoshu Museum, and later formed the Central Guard Regiment, which is the real 'Inner Guard'. No wonder he is good at swordsmanship!! At that time, the director of the Shandong Guoshu Museum seemed to be Li Jinglin, the sword immortal in the Republic of China, so if he practiced swordsmanship, he should be Wudang Sword, but this is really a good thing for me......! ”
"Grandpa, he is the Bai Ze I just told you about, a student of our school." Wei Tianzi screamed affectionately.
Pei Yan pulled Bai Ze and also called Old Man Wei. Bai Ze nodded, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and gave an old salute in the martial arts world to show respect. Although the two sides have no contact, they are both fellow swordsmen, and Wei Baohua is so old, these two points alone are enough for Bai Zesheng to maintain due respect and politeness.
"Oh!!" Seeing Bai Ze's salute, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze quickly swept over Bai Ze, "Young man! I heard Tianzi say, what happened just now was all about breaking the siege, and in the face of dozens of hooligans alone, he still didn't panic, and he won the battle, which is not bad. It turns out that we are all all the way, and there are not many young people like you nowadays who are willing to spend time practicing kung fu. ”
Old Man Wei's tone was very soft, making people stand opposite each other, and naturally gave birth to a feeling like a spring breeze.
"The old man has won the award, just stretch out his hand, it should be." Bai Ze was neither humble nor arrogant, he just smiled slightly and owed, and then his eyes flashed, and he took a step forward: "The old man is a senior, forgive me for being rude, please advise me one or two." ”
After saying that, a hand stretched out, just like a normal handshake, but the two fingers in the middle of the food stood together like a sword, and slowly pointed at the old man's wrist.
But he pinched his sword finger and wanted to test the sword secretly.
