"That person just now is the nanny of Lao Ma's family. Yang Jingbin said softly while leading Wen Shuo to the backyard.

On the bus when he came, he had already briefly told Wen Shuo about Ma Youcheng's general family situation and living habits - Ma Youcheng only has one daughter, who was sent abroad to study in high school last year, and it is time to go to college this year, and his wife Chu Min also followed her daughter to study abroad. In recent years, Ma Youcheng has been running all over the country, and even going abroad to participate in some auctions, and is often invited to participate in some related activities and lectures, and will also go to some half-light and half-dark folk antique trade guilds to pick up the missing treasures, and the rest of the time is to take care of his own private museum, which is also the first private museum in the country, and by the way, write about his own experience and publish a few books. So usually, only nannies live in this valuable courtyard.

Wen Shuo was so envious that he said in his heart: "This is what people call life!"

When I came to the backyard, I lifted the curtain and entered the hall, and I saw Ma Youcheng, who was wearing ordinary home clothes, sitting at the dark brown quaint tea table, sipping tea leisurely, reading with a book in his hand, and hearing the sound of someone coming in, he put down the book in his hand, looked up and smiled: "Lao Yang, why are you here again......?"

After asking half of the question, Ma Youcheng had already gotten up and smiled: "I remember, it's Wen Shuo, right? You haven't mentioned him to me a lot, and besides, I've seen him, the last time he gave a lecture in your academy, he sat in the penultimate row, and he didn't miss the position." ”

In daily life, throwing Wen Shuo into a bunch of students at Beijing University, if you pay a little attention, it is indeed easy to remember this relatively special student.

Because he was fair-skinned and fat, his clothes were simple to the point of shabby.

But today's Wen Shuo is in a suit and leather shoes, and his appearance and temperament are obviously very different from usual, and Ma Youcheng can quickly think of the location of Wen Shuo during that class, which is enough to show that Ma Youcheng has a keen observation and extraordinary memory that is far beyond ordinary people. After all, in the big class that day, there were hundreds of teachers and students in the classroom, and Wen Shuo sat in a much lower position.

Wen Shuo admired this, but inevitably had doubts - Teacher Yang said that Ma Youcheng was unwell, but now, he looked bright and fine.

Could it be that the two of them deliberately sang a play, just to invite Lao Tzu, a master of the world?

What's the plan?

However, he naturally didn't want to ask these words, so he bowed down very politely and said, "Hello Mr. Ma." ”

Yang Jingbin was also very puzzled, when he left here at noon, Ma Youcheng was still lying on the bed, his complexion was very bad, he didn't even have an appetite for lunch, and from time to time he would come up with three or two meaningless words, or muttered something vaguely like a low-headed hysteria, which scared the nanny Lin Sister-in-law so much that she didn't know what to do.

But now Ma Youcheng, and when he was sick at noon, it was completely two people.

"Old horse, your body ...... Looks much better?" Yang Jingbin greeted, and glanced at Wen Shuo with some embarrassment.

"Well, I took a nap and felt better. Ma Youcheng invited the two of them to sit down, and while boiling water again, cleaning teapots and teacups, and replacing tea leaves, he said: "I won't tell you, it's also an old problem for many years, but this time it's been delayed for a longer time." I didn't expect that all of a sudden my mental state was much better, so I got up to make a pot of tea and read a book for a while, and it just so happened that you and Wen Shuo came. I'm still wondering if I used to be too sensitive and superstitious, for fear that I would be exposed to too many antiques and unconsciously get contaminated with something, and then die inexplicably, which is really wronged, so I will have a heart disease?"

"That ......" Yang Jingbin is not the kind of person who can speak tactfully, he looked at Wen Shuo and said, "What do you think, what's going on?"

Wen Shuo couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He hasn't had time to perceive, observe, and analyze, how can he know what Ma Youcheng's symptoms are?

Maybe it's a mental illness.

Ma Youcheng was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why the master and apprentice were so weird, and seeing that the expressions of the two were a little unnatural, he took the initiative to chat with a kind expression: "Wen Shuo, your teacher Yang has a kind and stubborn temperament, and it is rare to hear praise from his mouth, but since you entered Beijing University last year, I can hear him mention you every time I meet and chat with him, which makes me feel very strange, and it also shows that you are really a rare talent." Think about it, it is true, born in poverty, entering the capital with a clean breeze on both sleeves, doing business in the military training base to make money, not greedy for vanity and face, being upright and realistic, diligent and studious, this is enough to be admirable. And last year, when your teacher Yang broke into a catastrophe, you were even more chivalrous, single-handed, using the most incredible, but the simplest and most direct method, almost brutally sang a classic pot bottom salary, which can be described as turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain...... Afterwards, when I heard that this was a thrilling process, I really admired it, and I couldn't help but float a lot of white at home for it, and I deserved the word "high!"

As he spoke, Ma Youcheng gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't praise me like that, I'm so shy...... Actually, that time I was forced to have no choice, fooling around, and it was lucky to succeed. Wen Shuohan smiled and scratched his head.

"I really believe in luck. Ma Youcheng said with a smile: "But in this world, there are too few people who can have such luck as you." And with your age and origin, being able to think of the seriousness of that matter in advance, and how to solve it in a very short period of time, and not hesitate to act decisively until it is perfectly resolved, is enough to show that you not only have great luck, but also extraordinary mind and courage. ”

Yang Jingbin showed a look of fascination for memories, nodded and agreed: "When I think about it now, I still feel guilty and palpitating, thanks to Wen Shuo, ......"

Wen Shuo was more and more embarrassed to be praised, thinking that this Mr. Ma not only has an extraordinary ability to appreciate antiques, but also has an extraordinary ability to recognize people, otherwise, how could he judge a person so accurately just based on Mr. Yang's narration!

Oops......

I'm so embarrassed!

While being narcissistic, Wen Shuo has also been carefully observing Yang Jingbin's expressions when he and Ma Youcheng are talking - Ma Youcheng is a real old Jianghu and old fritter, and the city is very deep, so if he pretends to be, Wen Shuo feels that he doesn't have the eyesight to see anything, but Yang Jingbin is not a person who can lie and act by nature.

Therefore, Wen Shuo could see that Teacher Yang Jingbin did not lie to him.

So while he was humble and embarrassed, he poked out a wisp of qi to carefully sense the aura emitted by Ma Youcheng personally, as well as the natural five elements balance state in this courtyard mansion, whether there was anything abnormal.

In fact, when he first entered the courtyard, he already perceived the natural qi that was different from the outside world, but this courtyard itself has a long history, and the geographical location is too close to the country's highest power-center-center, and it is itself in the place where the national power of the capital converges, in which the precipitation and accumulation of historical culture and important trends are naturally much thicker.

Therefore, Wen Shuo was not too vigilant because of this.

At this moment, as soon as he poked his qi out of his body, he shook suddenly, and then quickly withdrew his qi into his body, relying only on the keen perception of the external breath that he had cultivated on the surface of his body in the years of cultivation, to carefully and carefully sense and analyze the subtlety of the natural balance of the five elements here.

The reason why it is strange is that this kind of qi machine obviously has majestic power, but it does not have majestic momentum and reality, but it also has a strong repulsion, resistance, defensiveness, and even a little active aggression.

Seeing Wen Shuo suddenly frowning and concentrating, Ma Youcheng was surprised and looked at Yang Jingbin.

Yang Jingbin was embarrassed, and it was difficult to say anything for a while.

Fortunately, Wen Shuo only lost his mind for a short time, and while concentrating on it carefully, he also noticed Ma Youcheng's surprised expression and Teacher Yang's embarrassment, so he temporarily retracted his mind and said, "Teacher Ma, can I take a walk around your house?"

"Huh?" Ma Youcheng was displeased - after so many years of intoxication with antique appreciation and research, he naturally has a deep research and familiarity with traditional culture, and at the same time admires the essence of traditional culture, especially caring about traditional etiquette and rules.

And Wen Shuo's request is obviously very rude and unruly.

Yang Jingbin became more and more embarrassed and embarrassed.

"That's right. Wen Shuo explained calmly: "I came to visit you this time because Teacher Yang was worried that you were unwell recently, so he wanted me to help take a look. To tell you the truth, I used to follow a reclusive master and learned some metaphysical knowledge, of course, you can say superstitious. And just now, I noticed that the balance of yin and yang and the five elements in your house is slightly inappropriate, well, just like you just said about your biggest worry, maybe ...... in a word"

Ma Youcheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Jingbin's solemn and serious, and still had a somewhat excited expression, so he looked at Wen Shuo, frowned, and said, "You mean, I have dirty things at home?

"Not sure, so I'm hoping to look around. Wen Shuo said indifferently.

With Wen Shuo frankly admonishing, Yang Jingbin naturally didn't have to hide anything from the difficulty, and echoed and explained: "I had an evil encounter last year, and Wen Shuo helped me take care of it, well, it should be said that he saved my life." ”

Ma Youcheng showed an incredible look on his face, and after thinking for a while, he decisively got up and said, "Please ......"

"Thank you. Wen Shuo nodded politely, and then stood up, but did not immediately move around, but closed his eyes slightly, silently recited the mantra to run the mind, and the qi in the body did not probe outside, but only accelerated the operation of the internal circulation, and improved the keen perception of the external world on the surface of the body, and after standing quietly and carefully perceiving for a while, he opened his eyes, followed his own induction and analysis and judgment, and turned around and walked towards the room on the west side.

Ma Youcheng and Yang Jingbin immediately followed.
