Chapter 35: Sun Lutang
Sun Lutang is, Ji Province, Wanxian East, Renjiatong people, it took more than 20 days to go there how to go, the two rode two fast horses, it took most of the day to get to Wuhan, and the next day in Wuhan and got on the train, Wei Yang is still the first time to see the train of this era, the speed is slow, and the noise of the mountains shaking is very unbearable.
The car is basically crowded, and the smell is strange, but fortunately, Wei Yang was prescient, bought two tickets at a high price, and had two window seats, unlike many people, and there is no place to stand.
But that's it, the smell of the car makes me unbearable, taking such a train is definitely a crime, "Weiyang" is now a little nostalgic for the high-speed rail of later generations, cheap, real, and fast.
I didn't encounter any trouble along the way, and it took three days and three nights to get to the capital, and I couldn't stand it anymore when I got off the car! The two of them found an inn to take a good bath for themselves, and Wei Yang didn't plan to visit the ancient Forbidden City!
Wanxian is not too far from Beijing, more than 100 kilometers, it takes a day to get to the fast horse, the ancient capital is not only big, the road is much better than other places, there is a passenger road to the end, the road is easier to walk.
But before the past, "I still have to prepare a generous gift", needless to say gold, Wei Yang prepared twenty kilograms, Chen Qingshan did not recommend that he give more, Sun Lutang is not a person who loves money, otherwise he would still use his skills to farm at home and be a poor peasant.
The capital is one of the most prosperous places at any time, and it can recover quickly after hundreds of years and no matter how many wars it has experienced.
No matter what kind of "precious gifts" are not lacking here, the premise is that you have enough money, "Chen Qingshan" is also very familiar with the capital, he has spent several years in the capital, and people who practice martial arts hope to become famous, there are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and it is easy to be famous if you have the ability, so there are also many martial arts masters gathered here.
Liulichang, Deshengtang, and Wei Yang picked a piece of Song Huizong's calligraphy and painting, which is a national treasure in later generations and is worth more than a thousand oceans in this era.
I bought three hundred-year-old ginseng, picked two fast horses in the horse market, and it was already evening after shopping, so I found a hotel at the east gate to rest, and rushed to the county early the next morning.
When the sun was about to set, the two rushed to the east of the county and Renjiatong, Chen Qingshan knew the address of Sun Sun Lutang's house, and he didn't need to ask anyone; Sun's house is not big, there are only about a dozen huts, and they still look very old.
It was an old mother who knocked on the door and opened the door, Chen Qingshan saw her respectfully calling Aunt Ren, and then asked: Aunt Ren and the master are at home?
Aunt Ren knew Chen Qingshan, and when she saw Chen Qingshan, she smiled and said: Qingshan is here, your master and they are all inside! After speaking, he opened all the doors, did not forget to nod kindly to Wei Yang, and took the gifts of the two, to Wei Yang's surprise, twenty kilograms of gold seemed to be weak in Aunt Ren's hands, and she shouted to the house without being affected, Master, Qingshan brought a guest.
There are five people standing in the courtyard of 100 square meters, an old man, two middle-aged men, a half-old girl, and a six- or seven-year-old boy, all of whom are watching a middle-aged man practice boxing.
Chen Qingshan bowed when he saw the old man, and after the salute, he respectfully called the master, the old man nodded, and said: Qingshan is here!
Chen Qingshan opened his mouth and said: The disciple is not filial, he has not come to visit the master for two years, and he hopes that the master will forgive his sins!
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not a person who likes to talk so much about false etiquette, so let's introduce the guests you brought first."
Sun Lutang, an old man who looks ordinary, can't see the grandmaster's grandeur at all, but Sun Lutang's son, Sun Cunzhou, looks very strong, and the whole person looks like a grandmaster, which is what Wei Yang just felt.
Chen Qingshan glanced at Wei Yang and said: This is the disciple's employer, Mr. Wei, a native of Hunan Province.
Wei Yang smiled at the old man and said: Wei came to visit rashly, and I hope that Master Sun will not be blamed.
Sun Lutang nodded and said, "Mr. Wei, it's really amazing to bring so many gifts to the door for the first time.
Wei Yang said with a smile: Yes, I have admired the name of my predecessors for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet him.
After Chen Qingshan said hello to two middle-aged men, he introduced the two men to Wei Yang, one of the two middle-aged men was Sun Lutang's son, Sun Cunzhou, and the other was Sun Lutang's disciple Sha Guozheng.
The little boy's name is Sun Baoxiang, the son of Sun Cunzhou, and the half-grown little girl is called Sun Jianyun, Sun Lutang's daughter; Everyone was polite, entered the hall, Sun Lutang and Chen Qingshan chatted for a while before getting down to business.
Chen Qingshan told Sun Lutang about Wei Yang's intention, and he was not surprised, but he didn't expect that Wei Yang specially invited him to teach martial arts.
Sun Lutang didn't refuse immediately, he just said that he would think about it, and after thinking about it, "Chen Qingshan" didn't say that Wei Yang was a bandit, he only said that he was the owner of Tongluo Village, and he also had his own considerations, no matter what, Sun Lutang was not a chore to go to Tongluo Mountain!
Wei Yang is not stupid, he will not dismantle his own platform, Chen Qingshan is helping himself, Wei Yang met Sun Lutang's family at night, he also has two granddaughters, his daughter-in-law and wife are still alive, a very simple old man; The salary paid by "Wei Yang" is not low, two thousand oceans per month, and he doesn't dare to open more, otherwise he is really afraid that Sun Lutang will not go.
After arranging Wei Yang to stay, Sun Lutang and his son discussed in the room together, no way, Sun was startled when he saw the gift, ginseng and calligraphy and painting Sun may not be able to tell the price, but the gold Sun still knows, this is not immediately Sun Lutang and his son to discuss.
The Sun family is not wealthy, because the family practices martial arts, and the family almost always enters more than it comes out, but fortunately, there are often Sun Lutang's disciples to help, and there are also official gentry to send points, so this life can barely go on.
Seeing the hundred-year-old ginseng, calligraphy and painting, gold, and the family were a little surprised, especially now that the Sun family is also facing difficulties, Sun Lutang was not less injured when he was young, and if he could have money to recuperate his body, he would have much less pain in the future.
This is a common problem of martial arts practitioners, Sun Lutang is an ordinary person, can get such a big reputation in the rivers and lakes, this is all beaten, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to never be injured, when he is young, he can rely on his spirit and spirit to support, but when he is old, his qi and blood are decayed, and the pain will come out, and many grandmasters and masters either die young or die miserably.
This is also the sorrow of martial arts practitioners! A boxing technique is a great success, and when you become famous, you will almost get old, and what you want in life is nothing more than fame and fortune, and it has ruined too many people, and it has also made many people famous, paid, and obtained!!
