Chapter Seventy-One: First Sight of Ip Man

Standing on the street for a long time, Ye Xuan really came back to his senses, looked down at himself, and saw that this time the system did not give him a salute, but empty-handed, wearing a gray cloth coat and short hair, he touched his body and found 10 silver dollars, 10 silver horns and 5 100 banknotes (no fiat currency has been issued at this time).

Walked around the store next to him and asked about the price, Ye Xuan finally understood a little bit what the value of the money on his body was at this time, 1 silver dollar can be exchanged for 10 silver horns, one silver horn can be exchanged for 130 Wen, and one city quintal (160 city catties) of rice costs 10.2 silver dollars, if compared with the purchasing power of the real Hua Ming Kingdom, now a silver dollar is about 30-35 Hua Ming coins. The paper money is relatively unstable, and now the government of the Republic of China is still adopting the policy of the silver standard, the purchase of paper money is not high, and 100 yuan of paper money can only buy less than 50 catties of rice. (I found a lot of information, and I can't find the purchasing power of paper money in this period of the Republic of China, so I can only roughly calculate it, if you know the book friends, you can tell sΓΉ about sugar water, thank you!) οΌ‰

Thinking back to the tasks released by the system, Ye Xuan groaned for a moment, beckoned on the side of the road, and an empty rickshaw stopped in front of him, "Boss, where are you going!" ”

"Master, do you know Ip Man, Master Ye's home?" Ye Xuan asked.

"I know, why don't I know, Ip Man is our celebrity in Foshan, come, boss, please get in the car, I'll send you over." The driver of the rickshaw patted the towel draped over his shoulders on the cushion on the car and said with a smile on his face.

"Boss, sit tight!" When Ye Xuan sat in the back of the car, the coachman shouted, picked up the handle on the side of the car, held it steadily, and ran forward steadily.

The rickshaw ran through the streets and alleys for more than 20 minutes, and finally came to the front of a mansion, "Here, boss, this is Master Ye's home." ”

Looking at the mansion in front of him, Ye Xuan nodded, being able to own such a mansion during this period, Ye Man is really an out-and-out rich second generation.

It's a pity that Ip Man won't be able to live in this mansion for long, and in another two or three years, this place will be forcibly occupied by the Japanese army.

Retracted his thoughts, walked up from the car, and looked at the car that was pulling him to run and sweat profusely and was wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with a towel, Ye Xuan asked with a smile: "How much, master?" ”

"Boss, look, it's okay to give twenty yuan." The driver wiped his sweat and smiled innocently.

took out a piece of one hundred money from his body and handed it to the coachman, Ye Xuan smiled: "Give it, don't look for it!" ”

The coachman was stunned, and then held the hundred yuan tightly in his hand, and was a little surprised and at a loss, and kept thanking: "Thank you boss, you are really a good person, thank you boss, thank you ......"

Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand, although he didn't have the ideal of being rich and helping the world, but he was once an ordinary person at the bottom, so he could naturally understand the hardships and bitterness of the life of the people at the bottom.

The coachman who was thanking him nodded goodbye, Ye Xuan walked to the gate of the mansion and patted the black iron door in front of the gate, and soon after, an old housekeeper walked out: "This gentleman, may I ask you something?" ”

"Hello this old man, is this Master Ip Man's home?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"This is Ye Zhai, yes, I don't know what this gentleman has to do with my young master?" The old housekeeper Uncle Wang looked at Ye Xuan, seeing that he was slender and powerful, thinking that he might have come to learn martial arts from his own young master, and seeing that he was well founded, he immediately asked politely.

"In Xia Ye Xuan, he likes martial arts since he was a child, and not long after he arrived in Foshan, he heard that Master Ye is superb in martial arts, so I came to ask him for advice." Ye Xuan hugged his fists.

"Oh, this gentleman, please, my young master happens to be at home." I heard that I really came to learn martial arts from my own young master, I have been the housekeeper of the Ye family for decades, and Uncle Wang, who has watched Ip Man grow up since I was a child, knows the preferences of my young master, and my young master has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he likes martial arts.

"Thank you!" Uncle Wang opened the iron door, and after Ye Xuan thanked him, he walked into the Ye family's mansion.

"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, I'll go in and report it." Uncle Wang closed the iron door and said.

"Okay, please!" Ye Xuan smiled unintentionally.

Uncle Wang smiled and nodded, and walked towards the door.

Ye Xuan had nothing to do, and began to look up and observe the courtyard of the Ye family. The courtyard of the Ye family is very large, separated by a two-meter-high wall, it is more like a small world, the courtyard is deep, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, there are two peach trees planted in the flower beds on both sides, the branches are full of pink peach blossoms, and the air is faintly exuding wisps of fragrance, making people think that they are in a paradise.

No wonder the Japanese army will forcibly occupy this courtyard in two or three years, and the eyes of the little devil are really poisonous!

"This is ......" Just when Ye Xuan was enjoying the scenery of the courtyard, a deep voice came from the gate of the Ye family, Ye Xuan turned around, and saw an elegant middle-aged man in a coffee-colored robe and gown walking out and walking towards him with a smile.

"Master Ye, hello! In the lower Ye Xuan, since childhood like martial arts, I heard that Foshan is the hometown of martial arts, recently just arrived in your place, I heard that Master Ye you are superb in martial arts, I don't know if Master Ye is free now, I want to ask Master Ye for advice! Ye Xuan smiled and hugged his fists.

"Master Ye, hello!" After speaking, he paused, as if he thought of calling himself like this just now, smiled a little awkwardly, and humbly hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to teach, everyone is a person who practices martial arts, exchange martial arts, learn from each other, so that we can make progress together!" ”

As soon as Ye Man came out, he began to look at Ye Xuan, and found that he was not only slender, powerful, solid muscles, and steady as an old tree, but also between walking, there was a temperament that was different from that of ordinary martial arts practitioners, this temperament was intangible, and only those who had accumulated years of martial arts could feel it by perception between the same level. This makes Ip Man, who has been unable to find an opponent in Foshan, can't help but see Hunting Heart, but all those who practice martial arts, no one will not like to fight with a master, especially a person like Ip Man who has not been able to find an opponent for many years, has always had a high and cold mentality, this time he can meet a master who may be similar to himself, and how can he let it go, which is why Ip Man so readily agreed to learn from Ye Xuan.

"How about we go over there and have a fight?" Ye Xuan took a look at the courtyard and found that there was a vacant lot on one side, so he asked.

"Master Ye, please!" Ip Man was already faintly starting to get a little excited.

"Please!"

The two walked to the open space and stood about two meters apart, the two of them hugged their fists and gave their hands, and then Ip Man's face was solemn, his legs were slightly bent, a tong sheep horse was pierced under his feet, his right hand turned into a fist and shrunk around his waist, and his left hand was stretched out, and the whole person was like a bow ready to be fired: "Wing Chun, Ip Man!" ”

Ye Xuan's right hand held a fist to the upper left, his right foot stepped up and bent his knees, his left foot pointed forward, and at the same time, his right fist and left palm were pushed forward, and he posed a "Hong Fist" salute pose: "Bao Zhilin, Ye Xuan!" ”
