Who is this old man? I was in a daze thinking about delicious food when I was startled by his roar. Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaobao, who was sitting peacefully, became even more rude. First, he opened his mouth as if he was about to swallow a duck egg, and then he opened his mouth as if he was about to swallow a duck egg. , he quickly stood up and supported the old man who rushed through the door.
"Dad, don't get excited, don't get excited, sit down first and then talk." Yun Xiaobao said with concern while supporting the old man.
It turned out that this excited old man was Yun Baochun. I glanced at him curiously. He looked quite ordinary, but he was very imposing, but average, not as imposing as when my cheap master did it. Well, Not even close.
"Sit tight! You don't even know that the gods are coming to your door. Have you neglected the old gods?" Yun Baochun slapped Yun Xiaobao on the back without giving any thought to the middle-aged man. Yun Xiaobao’s face.
Yun Xiaobao stood beside him but did not dare to speak. Yun Baochun turned around, as if he was a different person, and asked respectfully and kindly: "Which one is Li Shenxian's disciple? I told you earlier that you would come to Chengdu. I Definitely have to welcome him in person, greet him in person..."
At this time, Old Man Jiang stood up and said, "Old Li is my master."
"Oh, hurry up and sit down, sit down..." As Yun Baochun spoke, he personally pulled Old Man Jiang to sit down, and he also sat next to Old Man Jiang.
"Excuse me, which immortal from the Lizi generation are you? How is Old Immortal Li?" Yun Baochun asked impatiently after sitting down.
"It's okay as soon as the gods say it. I'm Jiang Lizhun. As for my master, he's wandering around in the clouds." Originally, when I heard my master mentioned, I pricked up my ears and listened. That was the thing I was most curious about, but Old Man Jiang was too cunning. Okay, I sent him away with just one sentence.
"It turns out to be Brother Li Chun. I was only ten years old back then. When I met you, you were 3 years younger than me. If it weren't for your master, our family would have been in great danger, and I wouldn't have had a son. Speaking of which, although you look much older, you can still vaguely see the shadow of your old friend." Yun Baochun actually started gossiping.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. These things are all done by my master. I didn't do anything. I can't afford to be so polite to you. I came here just to sell a piece of jade. I raised the jade with my own hands. Your son and this If you can't come out alone, I have to ask you to judge the value for yourself." Old Man Jiang didn't seem to be interested in the past, and directly stated his purpose.
He said it in an understatement, but Yun Baochun's face suddenly changed. Surprise, disbelief, ecstasy and other emotions all appeared on his face. He asked uncertainly: "What do you mean? Are you going to sell the jade you made with your own hands? What difficulties do you have with this? It is my duty to do so, this jade is so precious."
"No, what you ask for will be rewarded. I won't take it for free. Look at this jade. If you think it's ordinary, then I'll leave." Old Man Jiang rejected Yun Baochun directly and insisted Insist on selling only jade.
But Yun Baochun didn't even look at the jade, and said directly: "Master Jiang, you don't need to look at it, just make an offer."
At this time, Yun Xiaobao was also anxious. He didn't know Mr. Li or Mr. Li. This kind of businessman character was engraved in his bones. He was still a little arrogant, thinking that In this area of Sichuan, there is no need to be afraid of anyone. Sometimes the old man talks about "ganghu friendship" too deliberately, which is not good for business.
In fact, it is not impossible to talk about "ganghu friendship". It is okay to help someone and be more generous, but business rules must not be broken, not to mention that Ma Dudu is here
Thinking like this, Yun Xiaobao couldn't help but say: "Dad, just look at that jade."
When Yun Baochun heard this, he didn't say anything. Originally he was holding a walking stick, but now he stood up directly, picked up the walking stick and hit Yun Xiaobao, shouting: "You are () Your heart is filled with lard, and you are covering your eyes with money? I will beat you to death for being ignorant and careless."
Old Man Jiang grabbed Yun Baochun, while Yun Xiaobao looked aggrieved.
"Let's take a look." Old Man Jiang said calmly, and handed the jade to Yun Baochun as he spoke.
Yun Baochun took a deep breath, pointed at Yun Xiaobao with some lingering anger, and then sat down. His hands were trembling a little, and he was very respectful. It could be said that he had received the gift handed over by Old Man Jiang. Block jade.
Next, something strange happened. Yun Baochun didn't look at the jade at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and pressed the jade tightly to his heart, as if he was feeling something carefully.
Yun Xiaobao was stunned, Ma Dudu was stunned, and Cao Er was stunned. I was still lying on the table bored, because I knew the difference between the jade in the master's room. I just wanted to stare at the jade very seriously and close my mind. With his eyes open, he could vaguely 'see' a layer of faint yellow light surrounding the jade in Master's room, some were more dazzling and some were lighter.
Where is Old Man Jiang? Even more indifferently, he simply picked up a cup of tea and glanced out the window. I knew that he was looking at the older girl.
After just a short while, Yun Baochun opened his eyes. The ecstasy on his face could not be concealed. He held the piece of jade tightly with both hands and the corners of his mouth trembled as he kept saying: "God bless my Yun family. .”
Then, he turned to Old Man Jiang and said: "Master Jiang, I guess what you are selling may be spiritual jade. I didn't expect you to really sell a piece of spiritual jade. This kind of thing cannot be measured with money at all. You You have to bow to me!" As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Old Man Jiang.
But Old Man Jiang stopped him again. He said, "It's easy to talk. It's really easy to talk. Everyone just gets what they need."
"What about half of my family property?" Yun Baochun slapped the walking stick and said proudly.
Old Man Jiang didn't speak and just took a sip of tea. God knows what he was thinking.
Yun Baochun was afraid that Old Man Jiang wouldn't sell, so he said directly: "Master Jiang, I know your master's rules. The easier the money is, the more he collects. If the money is dirty, he doesn't even bother to look at it. , let alone take action. The Yun family listened to Li Shenxian's advice in the early years and stopped doing the underground business, and the money was much cleaner. I think Master Jiang must have heard about it before he was willing to come to sell this thing. My family is better than But those Hong Kong businessmen, if they know this thing, the price must be higher than what I paid. But Master Jiang, I am sincere and have done a lot of good deeds over the years. Master Jiang, so be it, I only keep what I need for my family business. The remaining money will be used to buy this jade."
As soon as he finished his words, Ma Dudu almost spit out the tea in his mouth, and Yun Xiaobao stood up with a "huo" sound.
Old Man Jiang didn't say anything, but Ma Dudu yelled: "No, no, Mr. Yun, you must tell me the story of this jade. Do you want to buy it as a favor, or do you really want to buy this jade?" "
Yun Xiaobao also said in a deep voice: "Dad, I am also involved in the family business, you have to convince me."
Yun Baochun held the jade and never put it down. He looked at the two of them and said, "Ma Dudu, I know you are a jade lover. Yun Xiaobao, do you want a reason? You two are so good at jade. Over the years, have you heard of a legendary jade? Ling Jade! It is also a disaster-proof jade, something that can save lives in critical moments."
"You said this is spiritual jade?" Ma Dudu's originally small eyes were so wide that they almost fell out.
Yun Xiaobao suddenly sat on the stool in a daze.
Sometimes, when money reaches a certain level, life becomes very important. They have known how precious this legendary jade is, they have known each other for a long time, but this kind of jade is elusive, and there is no way to identify it. How do you look
I heard that there is a kind of person who is born with a heavenly eye, or a person who is a cultivator has a heavenly eye. At worst, it takes a person with a strong spiritual sense to see through this spiritual jade at a glance.
"Do you know? People who have been with jade for a long time will have a very keen intuition about jade. There is a method of appreciating jade, called the method of appreciating jade with your heart. This method of appreciating jade has many limitations and is almost lost, but it happens There are some tricks to reading spiritual jade. An expert who knows how to read the mind is so powerful that he can read jade with his heart. He can even feel the internal texture of the jade with his eyes closed." Yun Baochun said.
"I know this mind-reading method, I know it! I also heard that Mr. Yun, you know something about it, but it's too confusing. I don't even know where to learn it. Could it be that just now...?" Ma Dudu said in a voiceless voice.
"After so many years, Dad, this is the second time I've seen you look at a jade with your heart. I didn't expect it to be a piece of spiritual jade." Yun Xiaobao also sighed.
"Actually, I don't have enough firepower, but you don't know the legend of Master Jiang and his disciples. It is absolutely certain that they can use spiritual jade. The spiritual jade they raised is definitely better than ordinary spiritual jade, just like a real eminent monk consecrating It’s the kind of consecrated object made of skulls that you’ve seen once before! Close your eyes and feel this jade. I once said that ancient jade has a strong evil spirit, so you’d better find one to compare your feelings.” Yun Baochun explained.
40 A few minutes later, Ma Dudu looked at the two pieces of jade on the table with an annoyed look on his face, while Yun Xiaobao looked refreshed.
They had just found ancient jades for comparison and felt them with their hearts. When they held the newly unearthed ancient jade in their hands and felt it with their hearts, there was always an indescribable coolness that penetrated their hearts. This was not really cold, but a feeling of coolness. People feel uneasy.
But when I closed my eyes and held Old Man Jiang's piece of jade, I felt inexplicably calm. A pleasant emotion rose inexplicably from my heart, and it turned out to be a kind of peace of mind that I couldn't control!
This is the feeling caused by Old Man Jiang's powerful skills and the strong effect of the spiritual jade. Ordinary spiritual jade cannot achieve this effect. Anyway, ordinary spiritual jade Ma Dudu and Yun Xiaobao cannot have such strong feelings.
"Hey, the treasure is passing in front of you. If you can't catch it, you can't catch it." After staring for a long time, Ma Dudu sighed, hugged his fists, and was about to leave.
"Hahaha... Ma Dudu, you have also made a lot of money. You are not missing this one. If you have a chance in the future, you will have a chance." Yun Baochun felt very happy and smiled.
"Dad, are you bringing this jade to Baogen?" Yun Xiaobao's face was also full of smiles. In fact, although he gave a lot of money, he left running money, and with the Yun family's connections, this business is not going to be the same. If you do it, the money will still come? It's a different feeling to have a life-saving charm.
Baogen is Yun Baochun's only grandson and Yun Xiaobao's only son.
"Baogen has been weak since he was a child, so of course I gave it to him. Thank you Master Jiang." Yun Baochun is a person who appreciates happy events, and his voice is a little louder.
"Wait a minute, I didn't say I was going to sell this jade like this." Old Man Jiang finally spoke, but I felt sorry for that treasure. Why don't you make your classmates laugh to death with such a piece of jade on you? The baby hugged the potato, hahaha, I laughed so hard in my heart that my stomach cramped.
If I had known earlier, I might as well have sold him the piece with the hot pot engraved on it.
"Master Jiang..." Yun Baochun was anxious.
But Old Man Jiang stood up and said slowly: "The Yun family has indeed done a lot of good deeds in recent years. I have a good heart and have heard a lot about it. It seems that your family has also taken my master's words to heart. It will be like this. I also understand that although it is not very honorable for you to do this business, it is a network of people inherited from your ancestors. It is not too unreasonable to say, because you do not accept things that have just come out of the ground. I just want to ask , how much does it cost to buy a building in the county?"
Old Man Jiang said a series of words and asked such a question.
Yun Baochun was a little unclear as to what kind of medicine Old Man Jiang was selling in his gourd, but he still said: "In big cities, there are few private houses, and they are basically owned by the state. It is difficult to regulate the business, but private houses in the county It’s more, maybe a building, in a better location, I’ll always ask for 8,000, but for an average building, I’ll ask for 500 no matter what.”
"Let's do this. I'll charge you 3,000 yuan for this piece of jade." Old Man Jiang said.
Yun Baochun couldn't believe it. This price, this price was really cheap. He was rich. It should be said that there were very rich people in Chengdu. He could afford 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Originally, he was prepared to I took more, but I didn’t expect it was only three thousand.
"This... Master Jiang, I'm afraid this is not good, right?" Yun Baochun said hesitantly.
"Of course it's not good, I haven't even finished what I said! This is just the money I collected, but I didn't plan to sell this jade for this small amount. Starting from this year, and for the next ten years, I ask you to do business every year One-third of the profits will be used to do good deeds for ten years." Old Man Jiang said.
"Okay!" Yun Baochun and Yun Xiaobao agreed almost at the same time.
"Don't try to fool me, Brother Baochun, you know you can't fool me here." Old Man Jiang's expression became serious.
"Absolutely not!" Yun Baochun also promised loudly.
I was very satisfied with the rest of my life. Old Man Jiang became more fashionable when he was rich. He took me around Chengdu and bought me ugly new clothes, all in earthy red! ! I also bought myself some ugly new clothes, all in khaki color.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the ability to appreciate things at that time. I felt that having new clothes to wear was happiness.
What made me even more satisfied was that Old Man Jiang took me to eat those legendary snacks, such as Zhongshui Jiaoer, Lai Tangyuan and so on. I ate so many of them that my stomach became round.
I couldn't forget those snacks. I kept saying to myself on the way: "Master, those Zhongshui dumplings are so delicious. They are thin and come in one bite. The spices sprinkled on the dumplings are spicy, but sweet at the same time." Taste, delicious."
"It's not a dumpling, it's a jiao'er, with one jiao and two jiao, because it looks like a jiao. The earliest, it's called Zhongshui Jiao, not Zhongshui Jiao." Old Man Jiang explained to me.
The night breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable. I had a full stomach and felt the wind, which made me squint my eyes. It felt good to be led by Master.
After returning home, Master gave my dad 00 yuan, which was more than enough money to buy a house or start a business. For the education of my eldest sister and my second sister, my dad gritted his teeth and really moved.
In fact, there weren’t too many things to bring. I packed them up in a few days. I hosted a banquet for the folks on the day I left, and then found several tractors. We left in perfect condition, but my mother cried so much that she couldn’t worry about me.
I didn't cry at the time, I just remember that when the tractor drove away that day, the sun was setting in the sky, and with the sound of "chuchuchu", I watched the figures of my dad, my mom, my eldest sister, and my second sister getting further and further away from me. ... ..
It was only then that I realized that they had all left and I was the only one left here! Only then did I feel flustered, and then I felt a deep sense of loneliness welling up in my heart. I felt a little helpless. Finally, I looked at the backs of the group of children, squatted on the ground, hugged my head, and cried.
At this time, a warm big hand placed on my head: "What's wrong, are you still stingy? Can't bear to leave? Are you crying?"
I stood up, wiped away my tears, and said, "Who said that? Can't I go to the county to see them often?" But while I was talking, the tears kept falling.
"Yeah, so don't cry. The boy doesn't like this." Old Man Jiang comforted her with rare tenderness.
I was silent for a long time and said with some sadness: "Master, I always hear my mother talking about my parents being unlucky. When I think about it, I get scared. I'm afraid I'll miss them."
"That's what I'm thinking about. You have to feel at ease about missing me. You don't have to show it too much, as long as the feeling is deep enough."
"Master, you won't leave me, right?" I asked. Suddenly, I felt that my family had left, and I felt so lonely that I was almost angry.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the mountain."
The first part is finished!
