Chen Ran followed the address on the business card left by Ma Sanquan and found the location of the Pegasus Martial Arts School. Although the Pegasus Martial Arts School is almost in the most prosperous area in the city, the architectural style of the martial arts school is still stuck in the last century.
, there is an old-fashioned atmosphere everywhere: the small stone road covered with moss next to it, the small flower circle filled with various flowers and plants, the dilapidated plum blossom pavilion...
In front of the dilapidated gate of the martial arts hall, there is a huge stone sculpture. The stone sculpture is clearly a Pegasus riding a swallow. A thousand-mile horse is galloping. It has a strong body, its head is raised, its tail is raised, its mouth is open, neighing, and its three legs are flying in the air.
Under the right hind hoof is a flying bird.
The bird spread its wings and was about to fly, looking back in amazement. Everything happened in an instant, but it gave people an extremely broad space for imagination. Although this Pegasus stone sculpture is a bit old, its charm is still there, deeply showing the carving of this stone sculpture.
The skilled stone carving skills of the stone carvers perfectly combine the galloping horses and flying birds.
Unexpectedly, there is such a place in the city of Tianzhong, Chen Ran was a little surprised.
Entering the martial arts gym, Chen Ran reported his name and wanted to meet Master Ma. The staff in the lobby at the entrance were a little surprised. They looked at Chen Ran twice and asked Chen Ran to sit in the lobby and wait while they went to report.
Not long after Chen Ran sat down, a young man came out and took him into the martial arts gym.
The martial arts hall is a square building with houses and corridors on all four sides, and a huge patio in the middle. More than half of the men, women, and children who learn martial arts in the martial arts hall train in this patio. Early in the morning, roaring and hahaha sounds come from these people.
, extremely loud.
Master Ma was wearing a snow-white training uniform, holding a ruler in his hand, and was teaching the martial arts disciples on the training field.
As soon as Chen Ran arrived at the martial arts training ground, Master Ma saw him. At this time, Master Ma was very serious in both his movements and demeanor. When he saw Chen Ran, he just nodded slightly.
Chen Ran nodded in greeting and did not disturb Master Ma. He stood on the edge of the martial arts training ground and looked at the martial arts practitioners. Some of these martial arts practitioners were standing motionless, and some were boxing. The boxing was not uniform.
Practicing, everyone practices separately, but the movements are a bit monotonous, they are all single movements, and they are practiced repeatedly back and forth in the martial arts training ground with an area of about 200 square meters.
Of course, although the movements seem monotonous, the power is not simple. Each punch seems to be like a sharp sword fired from a strong crossbow. Not only is it extremely sharp, the sound of the punch can be clearly heard a hundred meters away. So many
People were practicing together in full swing. The scene was quite spectacular and very exciting. It made Chen Ran want to jump into the martial arts training ground and stretch his fists and legs. Of course, he was just thinking about it.
"Follow me."
Master Ma examined every child practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground with his hands behind his back. Then he walked towards Chen Ran, nodded in a majestic tone, and walked towards the house in front of him.
Chen Ran was silent and followed Master Ma directly.
"You sit here for a while, I'll be back soon."
After Master Ma led Chen Ran into the living room, he explained to Chen Ran and left first.
Chen Ran looked at the so-called living room. It was actually similar to the lobby of an ancient house. It was not big. On the wall facing the door, there was a portrait of Yue Fei hanging, with a couplet on both sides. The first couplet was "Good and Evil Since Ancient Times".
"Same as charcoal", the second line "Reputation is now judged as false and true".
"Just wait and be anxious."
After Chen Ran waited for about five or six minutes, Master Ma changed his clothes and walked out with a glowing face.
"It's okay." Chen Ran stood up quickly, smiled and shook his head in greeting.
Master Ma's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he looked Chen Ran up and down. He was in good spirits, but he was still a bit old. If he were a few years younger, he would be an excellent candidate to become a closed disciple. However, if such a good material is given up,
, which is a pity, it would be good to take him as a registered disciple.
"Sit." Master Ma smiled and asked Chen Ran to sit down. He also sat down, then looked at Chen Ran and nodded and said, "Who did you learn your tan legs from?"
"Learned it from an older brother who was a soldier in the army." Chen Ran didn't hide it, but didn't go into details.
Master Ma nodded in surprise: "So that's it. No wonder your tan legs are so strong. Do you want to follow me in martial arts?"
Chen Ran was startled. What did he mean by this sentence? How could he not understand that Master Ma wanted him to become his disciple? He had never thought about it in this way. He had only learned boxing from Master Ma, and he did not expect that he would become his disciple.
, he doesn’t understand how to become a master, I don’t know... He only learns martial arts to strengthen his body and defend himself. He doesn’t want to compete with this person or fight with that person all day long... After all, he doesn’t know Master Ma at all.
Master Ma seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, even if you learn martial arts from me, it won't disturb your life."
Chen Ran then nodded and agreed.
Master Ma was very happy to see Chen Ran agreeing. He stood up happily and pointed out the door: "Did you see that there is a stone platform at the door of this house? Go and stand on that stone platform for me."
Get up on the horse and let me see your foundation first. If I don't let you get up, you can't get up. Do you understand?"
Chen Ran turned around and left without saying anything. But after taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered Master Miao's explanation, so he stopped, took out the letter Master Miao asked to pass on to Master Ma, handed it to Master Ma and said: "Ma
Master, this is a letter that one of my elders asked me to give you when he left. I had wanted to visit you for a long time, but I never took the time. I didn’t expect to meet you before visiting you.
Already."
"Oh?" Master Ma was startled, then strangely took the envelope handed over by Chen Ran, opened the envelope, took out a letter, held it in his hand and read it.
During this process, Chen Ran kept looking at Master Ma, but Master Ma's expression was a little weird, or a little complicated. He was quite happy at first, but after seeing the content of the letter, his expression suddenly changed, and then...
His expression kept changing, from blue to white...
Chen Ran was a little strange. Since Master Miao asked him to find Master Ma, Master Miao and Master Ma should be old acquaintances. Now it seems...
In fact, there was only one sentence in Master Miao's letter, but that sentence made Master Ma read it for a long time. After a while, he directly put the letter away, then raised his head and looked at Chen Ran, but his expression was a little complicated, and he pondered.
After a while, he said with a calm face: "Your name is Chen Ran, right? You can go and come back in three days."
After Master Ma finished speaking, he didn't mention Chen Ran's apprenticeship. He waved his hand at Chen Ran and turned directly into the back hall.
Chen Ran looked at Master Ma's back in astonishment.
Master Ma's sudden change of attitude undoubtedly caught him off guard.
What is this?
Chen Ran was very sure that Master Miao would not harm him, otherwise he would not help him all the time, and even handed Miao Hongtao over to him, but what was going on in front of him?
Master Ma originally had a very good attitude toward him, but after seeing Master Miao's letter, he suddenly lost touch with him?
Three days later?
Chen Ran shook his head. If this was the case, he could only leave.
While sitting in the off-road vehicle, Chen Ran was still a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being and wait until three days later to talk about it. Maybe he would be able to see the clues in three days.
Although Chen Ran was somewhat disappointed that he could no longer learn boxing from Master Ma, he didn't take it to heart. He had more important things to do now.
make money!
This is what he is going to do.
He Zhenhua asked him to invest a sum of money into the new real estate company opened by He Zhenhua and his partners. The time limit is the eighth day of next month, which is about twenty days.
Twenty days is not a short time, but it is by no means a long time. Chen Ran plans to use this time to make as much money as possible. In twenty days, he strives to earn hundreds of millions of yuan in assets.
Hundreds of millions of dollars may sound scary, but if you include the value of the villa at 20 million, plus the more than 40 million in cash in his hand, it is not impossible.
Chen Ran decided to give it a good try.
If you want to earn so much money, relying on leak detection is undoubtedly unreliable. Now you can only try your best to see if you can collect a complete set of Kangxi's colorful Twelve Flower Cups.
Although this process is a bit difficult, it is easier than leak detection.
Chen Ran drove back to the villa and put the broken sweet-scented osmanthus cup into a box and put it in the car. As for the other six sweet-scented osmanthus cups, he didn't need to take them with him. The broken one was brought by Bai Lao who knew him.
Is there anyone who is a porcelain repair expert who can repair it...
"Do you still have your special tea?" Chen Ran was originally going to go directly from the city to Zhongdu, but when he was about to buy a gift for Bai Lao, he suddenly remembered Miao Hongtao's own special tea. Bai Lao loved tea.
Please bring him some special tea, he will definitely like it, so Chen Ran drove back to Bishui.
No one else in the family was there, only Miao Hongtao had not gone out, and the little thing was probably taken to the hotel.
Miao Hongtao had obviously just gotten up and hadn't woken up yet. Hearing Chen Ran's words, he was stunned for a long time and then said in a stunned voice: "I don't know, there should be more."
"Then find me some." Chen Ran saw him not waking up and pulled him directly into his room.
"There aren't many left. If you take it away, it will be gone." Miao Hongtao muttered dissatisfiedly.
He has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and almost everything he eats and drinks is specially made by his own family, and the tea he drinks is also specially made. After coming out, although the outside world is good, it makes him very unaccustomed to it. Like drinking tea, he
I'm not used to drinking the Tieguanyin bought by Chen Ping. I can only feel comfortable drinking the special tea he brought out. However, since Chen Ping and the others drank this tea once, they have often asked for it, especially Chen Ping.
Ping always bought some tea leaves from outside and wanted to exchange them with him. How could this compare? But if other people wanted it, he didn't have to give it to him. When Chen Ping asked him for it, how could he refuse?
He lives very well in Chen Ran's house now, much more comfortable than when he lived with his uncle. He now regards Chen Ran's house as his second home, and he regards Chen Ping as his elder in his heart.
, Chen Ping asked him for it, but he couldn't say no. As a result, he was asked for it only a few times, and there wasn't much left in stock.
"This is the only one left." Miao Hongtao rummaged through his pile of porcelain jars and found an earthen jar and handed it to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was not polite to him and took it directly. The Miao family's special tea leaves are all fired in earthen jars. The firing method is somewhat similar to the method of roasting beggar's chicken, so the tea leaves are also directly packed in earthen jars.
Yes, if you want to drink, you have to break the earthen jar first.
"You go to eat, I'm leaving."
Chen Ran found a bag to put the earthen jars in, patted Miao Hongtao on the shoulder, turned around and left.
"By the way, if you go to the provincial capital, go to your uncle's place and bring me the things I didn't bring last time..." As soon as he walked out of the villa, Miao Hongtao's shout came from behind.
"good."
Chen Ran agreed with all his heart. He now knew that these bottles and bottles of Miao Hongtao were all good things.
After leaving the villa, Chen Ran drove his off-road vehicle directly from the Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway in Bishui County. When he turned from the expressway to the provincial highway, he suddenly received a call.
