Chapter 509: Personal Instruction (4k)
"Send it off, don't let the cows stand on the road and poop! Pick it up, pick up the cow poop!"
In front of Tianbo Building.
The man's trousers were covered with black mud. When he saw a carriage approaching, he took the old buffalo and hurried past. Unexpectedly, the old buffalo got nervous halfway and stopped motionless. He parted his hind hooves, half-buttocks, and flattened a pool of cow dung. All the petty officials were dumbfounded, holding whips tightly in their hands. The King of Yue was about to come, so he pulled a pile of cow dung on the street?
Liang Qu turned around.
"Quick, quick, pick it up, pick it up!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
When Shangguan was in front of him, Xiao Geng couldn't bear the whiplash, and kept urging, pinching his nose to let the man clean up and finish. Liang Qu looked away and stepped in. Long Binglin and Long Eying were lined up on the left and right, half a body behind.
"My lord, please come this way."
The steward led the way in from the front right.
Countless eyes turned to him.
Long Binglu, who is seven feet two tall and over two meters four, has such a strong presence that he stands out from the crowd. In the "empty" peripheral vision, a "little giant" with a strong sense of oppression suddenly comes in, and no one can help but focus on it.
After focusing on them, it was even worse. I couldn't take my eyes away. None of the three people was ordinary.
Needless to say, Liang Qu has always been famous and popular. He just picked up the jade medal from the King of Yue yesterday. It is unique and has caused a stir in the whole government and people are thinking about his identity.
I heard that Hebo Station is related to the dragon people, and there are even people who work as servants in the government offices. I guess the "giant" is the legendary dragon people?
On the right....Dragon Girl?
Some guests were astonished: "Dragon girls...are they all so beautiful?"
The skin is like soft jade, it is really beautiful, like seeing a piece of jade soaked in clear water and being warmed, standing side by side, quiet and dignified.
There are mostly men on the first floor.
No matter how outstanding Liang Qu and Long Binglin are, they are not even half as impressive as Long Eying.
However, Long Nu followed Liang Qu around and made her relationship clear. Even if they were curious, no one dared to be too blatant. They only glanced at her from the corner of their eyes to cause trouble, which made them jealous.
The steward turned sideways.
"There are still two quarters of an hour before the auction starts. Would you like to take a look around on the first floor?" "Go to the second floor."
The first floor is mostly for rent, while the second floor is self-operated by Tianbo Chamber of Commerce. Compared with the first floor, the quality is guaranteed. The steward bowed slightly and continued to lead the way.
Liang Qu looked to his left and right: "Don't be polite if you like anything, just take it and I will help you pay."
Long Binglin and Long Eying nodded and thanked them.
Climb to the second floor.
Most of the noisy bargaining sounds disappeared, and the shops were orderly. How much does this piece of jade cost? "
Liang Qu stopped in front of a jade shop, grabbed a piece of white jade from the black velvet cloth and asked for the price. The mutton-fat white jade seed material was unprocessed and attached with a layer of light yellow stone skin. Its size was slightly smaller than the jade plaque given by the King of Yue. It's big and the quality is poor, but it's hard to tell unless you hold it in your hands and compare it. Does Mr. Liang like this piece of Tianshan Yuhe white jade seed material? Four stems and two hundred taels of silver. "The jade dealer recognized the identity of the person asking for the price.
"So expensive?"
Long Binglin was surprised.
If it were a precious fish or a precious plant, eight thousand taels would be understandable. But this is just a piece of Japanese jade, which cannot be eaten or used. Why?
Gold is valuable and jade is priceless. The jade materials in the Tianshan Jade River can only be fished out when the snow melting in summer and autumn every year turns into a rolling torrent and washes the jade from the deep mountains into the river. When the floods recede in late autumn, the river becomes It's clear, it's the best season to go down the river to pick jade, but it's freezing cold. I don't know how many jade pickers had to freeze their legs to dig out a piece of mutton-fat jade of this quality. It's not expensive, sir. Find a better jade craftsman, carve it into a look you like, wear it all the time, and be happy all the time. No amount of money can buy this kind of comfort. The jade seller was respectful and said, "Guanshi Sun is an expert in jewelry. Why don't you say a few words?" "
The guide raised his hand and bowed: "Master Wang has signed a five-year contract with our Tianbo Chamber of Commerce. It is indeed a fair price."
Liang Qumo jade, without doubting the credibility of the Bold Chamber of Commerce, "Save it!"
The jade seller turned around to get the wooden box and Liang Qu raised his hand to stop him.
"Are you a jade worker?"
The jade seller nodded: "Sir, do you want to work? I personally think that there is no need to look at such good materials and think about it in a hurry. You need to take it home and warm it up, and think about it carefully. Otherwise, it will be difficult to regret it after thinking about it."
"Don't regret it." Liang Qu reached into his arms and took out a palm-sized mutton-fat jade plaque, "Do this."
The jade seller took the jade sign and thought of the rumors yesterday. Secretly surprised: "Sir, this..." Make me an identical one. Liang Qu said without thinking, "Yesterday, I received the jade plaque to announce the good news. My wife couldn't put it down, but I couldn't keep it for her own use, so I wanted to make one exactly the same and put it next to my wife as a reminder. How long will it take?" "
The jade dealer thought this was an excuse, but didn't ask any more questions. He looked at it and estimated, "Is Mr. Liang here to attend the auction?"
"right."
"Twenty taels, just after the auction.
The shape of the jade plaque is not complicated. It is a square plaque with rounded corners, the word "Yue" on the front, and an auspicious cloud pattern on the reverse.
The jade seller used red paint to rub the front and back sides, confirmed the size, cleaned it, and handed it back. He took the jade seeds worth more than 4,000 taels, and thought about it. The processing engineer's wife was naturally an excuse to carve out exactly the same jade plaque. Who knows what day? Come in handy.
The King of Yue's attack requires infusion of Qi and blood to be used.
Zhang Xu himself said that after one blow, the jade tablet will crack but there is a magic item. As long as no one has seen Liang Qu use it with his own eyes, the King of Yue's blow will always exist"!
"Are you interested? You're welcome."
Long Binglin and Long Eying shook their heads.
Although Tianbo Chamber of Commerce is full of novelties for dragon people, its attraction is not that strong. Houses built based on plants are not uncommon underwater.
After receiving a negative answer, Liang Qu climbed to the third floor and said, "Yiqi..."
After scanning a circle of box numbers, Liang Qu walked inside and took Long Binglin and Long Eying with him today. They were not looking for bodyguards and paving the way, but Hebo had arranged separate boxes for the Dragon clan.
Dragon people are rich. When they moved out of the Dragon Palace, they had a lot of treasures, but they didn't have much cash.
So I brought two of them here today.
The entire third floor is slightly different from last time. The private room in the center of the second floor has been renovated from the door frame to the door leaf. From the outside, it looks at least more than 100 square meters. Passing by the door, a faint scent of incense wafts from the room. Needless to say, the core location is... The king of Yue left it.
The steward opened the door.
"Master Liang, Brother Binglin, Sister Eying!"
In the box, Long Zijian and Long Zihe were munching on watermelon. When they saw the three people coming in, they put down the rind and stood up to say hello. Long Binglin was surprised: "Are you here too?"
Long Zijian scratched his head and said with a chuckle: "Pingjiang and Pinghe work at the Hebo Office and went to Jiangling County to survey the waterways. There are not many Long people nearby, so I took Zi and Lai to join in the fun."
Long Binglin shook his head helplessly.
After exchanging pleasantries and settling down the dragon people, Liang Qu went to his master's Yichen No. to pay his respects and opened the door.
Xu Zishuai slapped his thigh fiercely: "Hey, the rightful owner is here!"
"Ah Shui, after touching the pillar, pat your butt and leave. Brother Hu and I almost died from exhaustion last night!" When he saw Liang Qu, Xiang Changsong couldn't help but vomit bitterness.
Liang Qu was baffled by the two people's reactions.
"I touched the pillar...how could I tire the two senior brothers?"
Hu Qi rubbed his eyebrows.
You pulled out the katama card yesterday. You are really famous. The number of apprentices coming to the martial arts studio to learn martial arts in the afternoon increased sharply! Brother Xiang and I did nothing or teach anything all day long. We just watched and arranged for new apprentices. Only in the evening did we find out that we had recruited 136 apprentices! There is no room for it in the martial arts gym, and just like that, there are still people coming after dinner!
Counting today, there are 216 new apprentices coming to learn martial arts! More than half of the people inside are from outside the country. I took a break today to catch up on the auction. I guess there are still people signing up now. "
Xiang Changsong asked with a smile: "Junior brother, guess what is the first thing they asked when they came to sign up?"
Liang Qu pretended not to know: "I can't guess."
"Ha." Xiang Changsong Qingqing Noise Zi said, "Excuse me, is this the Yang's martial arts school that gave Liang Shui envoys enlightenment?"
Xu Zishuai laughed.
Liang Qu pours water on his cheeks.
The arrival of the King of Yue was a rare event in Pingyang Mansion, and with the tap water for the villagers in Yixing Town, he invisibly gave his master a fierce blow.
It’s not even limited to Pingyang Fucheng and several surrounding towns, including large counties that are close by. Although the distance is a bit far, if you can afford the money, you can stay in a martial arts school. It’s not a big deal if you don’t go home for three months. .
"How to arrange the extra apprentices?"
Master discussed with Mr. Pang about what arrangements he could make, and arranged for some of them to live there. Those who really couldn't stay would be moved to next month.
Our martial arts gym continues to expand. Master has called a large number of craftsmen to build another two acres of long row houses and build a third martial arts arena.
Don’t you have a fellow countryman named Lin Songbao?
He is now a second-level martial artist. Like Li Libo and Chen Jiechang, he works as a river official and in the martial arts hall. "
"Then I'll go back and discuss with the martial arts master in my town. We should be able to accommodate some of them." There are three martial arts gyms in Yixing Town, Liang Channel, and there must be many vacant rooms.
If it's empty, it's empty. It's better to earn some accommodation money. The three martial arts masters should not refuse, "Okay." Hu Qi didn't refuse when the martial arts gym recruited people, and Liang Qu thought of something.
Senior brother, as I mentioned before, how is the joint work with the academy going? "
The arrival of the King of Yue was an unexpected situation. No one had thought that this would happen before.
Many wealthy families have entered Pingyang Mansion, and the two senior brothers were worried about how the martial arts school could compete with other martial arts schools that "guaranteed allocation". Liang Qu's advice was to cooperate with Shanghu Academy to teach literacy, temporarily improve competitiveness, and stabilize their positions and develop later. Developing your own farming plan and continuing the "work arrangement" are the best strategies.
The money that is treacherous is multiplied day by day, and the money that is good is destroyed day by day.
Beautiful women often sleep with crazy men.
The essence of the martial arts school under the big family is to "screen".
It is equivalent to the people paying their own money to receive "employee training."
There wasn't even a serious teacher inside, they were all old apprentices who had been studying for a few months, leading the new with the old, and it was chaos.
We single out those who have achieved results and arrange work. As for those who practice incorrectly or misdirectly, no one cares at all. The quality of teaching is far inferior to that of a normal martial arts gym. It cannot stand up to a martial arts gym that has work arrangements on its face. It is more attractive than simply learning something. He said to Changsong, "Mr. Zhao has agreed to give me a monthly salary at the normal price. It's easier than I thought. It should be because you have improved your pinyin."
Speaking of which, this trick is quite effective. Before the King of Yue came, there were many more people coming to our martial arts hall to learn martial arts than usual, especially those who couldn't afford too much money. ""Is there any martial arts school to imitate? "
"Yes, both the Liu family and the Li family have imitated it." Xiang Changsong said, "But the effect is not as good as ours. Shanghu Academy only works with our family, and all other martial arts schools are rejected. Mr. The teaching can only represent the individual, not the academy, and the albums in the academy cannot be borrowed. "
"I'll have to go and thank Mr. Zhao some other time."
"No."
"It's not what?"
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Zhuo!"
Several more handsome brothers and sisters entered the room, and the private room became more and more lively.
"Last time, there were more than 100 items in the auction. This time, there are 300 pieces, which is more than double the price. I wonder if it is possible to sell one million pieces?"
Yes, there is the king of Yue and the commander-in-chief of Zong, and they all want something better. "
"Do you think the King of Yue can take pictures?"
"Not really... Who dares to raise the price once the King of Yue makes a move? The Chamber of Commerce's list must have been read to the King of Yue in advance. If you like anything, just pick it up. Otherwise, if you compete with us, you will lose your standing."
"Don't dare to make wild guesses."
"How long has it been and it hasn't started yet?"
Xu Zishuai opened the window and looked at Pingyang Fucheng.
The excitement of cars filling the horse pass came from the streets. The wide avenue was crowded with small squares one after another. Big figures in motley clothes rode in horse-drawn carriages. From the end of the road, high-ranking officials such as the leader of the Hebo Bureau, the commander of the Anti-Monster Division, and the prefect Jian appeared. Came early, no one went upstairs, waiting respectfully in the lobby on the first floor.
Yang Dongxiong and Yu Dun are among them.
Handsome father, the second senior brother stood in the hall, and the other disciples could not sit on the third floor to eat and drink, so they had to follow down to welcome the arrival of the King of Yue.
Pure drudgery.
There was no need to take turns to say anything, and there were quite a few people standing in the team.
Speaking of which, Liang Qu hadn't seen Su Guishan since the King of Yue came to Pingyang Mansion. Su Guishan hadn't appeared in the west wing, and Wu Cangshou disappeared with him, but there were no less turtles in the pond.
I wonder if Su Guishan, who has taken office, will come back to live...·The third day of my uncle's absence.
miss him.
"See the King of Yue!"
His thoughts were divergent, and Liang Qu suddenly heard shouts, but he was blocked in the middle. There were so many people that he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, and he bowed and bowed step by step. "Is there any person who won the jade medal yesterday, come to participate?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone turned back and glanced around. Their eyes quickly fell on Liang Qu in the back row. In a tacit understanding, they all retreated and exited a human wall passage, allowing the King of Yue to clearly see the owner of the jade plaque.
Liang Qu: .... "Eye Awareness Method" I feel a unique gaze that is completely different from the past. I can't feel any emotional meaning, but it seems to have a substantial weight, pressing on my shoulders.
There was no time to think, Liang Qu lowered his head, walked forward quickly, put his hands together and bowed, "Liang Qu, I am here to pay my respects to the King of Yue!"
"No need to be polite." The King of Yue raised his hand to support him and looked at everyone, "It's getting late. Everyone, go upstairs. You follow me."
Finished.
The King of Yue stepped up the stairs. Zhu Bingcan in front of him pulled up his knees and quickly led the way. Why did he seem to be stopped by the dean?
Liang Qu was puzzled, not daring to pause for a moment, and quickly followed up under the envious and jealous eyes of many gold medal holders behind King Yu Yue.
"Everyone..."
"First thing today..."
In the copper incense burner, a few wisps of light smoke rose straight up.
Outside the box, the opening remarks of Zhu Bingcan, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, could be clearly heard. The King of Yue was sitting on the Arhat bed, leaning on the ice jade mat. Zhang Xu leaned over and handed over an album and flipped through two pages. The King of Yue closed the album and pressed it into his hand.
I originally thought that no one could pass the final level of the martial arts test, so I didn’t intend to teach everyone about it.
However, the world is so big that there are still geniuses and eccentrics.
That day when we picked up the ship, you had the aura of a white ape on you. I didn't bother to care about it. Knowing my whereabouts and route, it was probably Su Guishan's idea. Since you passed the martial arts test and you are outstanding, I will not ask you what kind of use you made. Means, I just want to ask one thing, are you willing to be my personal disciple? "
