Cultivation of the present

As soon as the middle-aged man walked away with his horse in his arms, the crowd that had gathered here dispersed.In the eyes of outsiders, it is impossible for a child to have such eyesight and skill. It is Yu Fangzhai's response to Mingxuan Pavilion's slap in the face for a child to recognize. Those words that Mu Xuan said should be taught by adults. of.

But Yufangzhai's own people know it well, no one has taught this child, and they dare not come forward to identify it.Neither the shopkeeper nor the several masters in the town knew Mu Xuan, but the guy who greeted the guests outside had a little impression of Mu Xuan. He walked around the Antique Street every Sunday and said that he had a little knowledge of antiquities, so he wanted to find a pawn Guy's working kid?

A few days ago, Mu Xuanjin was "invited" out of Yufangzhai by others politely, but today he was invited in politely.

I brewed a cup of Yuqian Longjing newly picked this year, using mountain spring water transported from a distant protected area. The tea cup is a set of hundreds of thousands of cups usually used to entertain distinguished guests. The artistic value and The actual value is equal to Aunt Bao's income from selling steamed buns for a week.But even such a high-end treatment is nothing to Mu Xuan.In his previous life, he had never seen anything. He still used porcelain to make tea?forget it.The number one god of war of our demon sect wears the heavenly top-grade spirit weapon Yulan Jinyi, the heaven-level top-grade spirit weapon Moyuan Feather Crown, and the heaven-level top-grade spirit weapon Chifengyun shoes, even the hand-wiping The handkerchiefs are all silkworm snow silk used to make clothes for ordinary emperors.

The tea he drank was Bi Ling saliva, which can cure all diseases with just a sip of mortals. The tea cup he used was made of top-quality spiritual jade grown from thousand-year-old stalactites.Although it is said that the tiger is in Pingyang now, and he is living a life of sleeping on the street and eating a hundred meals, but it does not mean that he does not have that vision, that he does not have that insight.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, the gesture is completely different from the clothes he wears. Regardless of the half-sleeves that cost ten yuan a dozen and the shorts that cost five yuan, buy one get one free. Your noble son, that kind of demeanor is comparable to that of ordinary people?

At first, he suspected that this child was another trap set by Dong Minghai, but with just this gesture of drinking tea, Mr. Chen was relieved.What will Hon Hai be?Although it has a good name, Mingxuan Pavilion, it sounds like a dog, and there are more antiques sold in the store than Yufangzhai.But actually?What is black is black, even if 84 disinfectant is used against concentrated sulfuric acid, the scorched black inside will not be bleached.

Most of the antiquities in Mingxuan Pavilion are of inauthentic origin. If they are put on the market, they will be targeted by the public security system.The cultural relics of the ancestors dug out of the soil are dumped by them and sold to foreigners. It's really not a damn thing.Why did Yufangzhai not deal with Mingxuan Pavilion?This kind of cultural relics dealers, saying that they are admirers of ancient times, is a kind of blasphemy to the antique world.

Therefore, Hon Hai will be able to hire connoisseurs with high salaries and find out-of-print cultural relics, but they will never be able to raise such a child who is Zhongling, Yuxiu, intelligent, and looks... er... malnourished and skinny.

Looking at the child with elegant movements, noble temperament, noble smile and charming smile, Mr. Chen opened his mouth, and the words of praise he was about to say were swallowed back.Not a child, can you look at me without that sallow face from long-term malnutrition?Grandpa, I feel like I'm still living in the old society...

Of course, Mu Xuan saw Chen Lao's suspicion and confusion at a glance, he calmly put the teacup back on the table and said: "I know that I, a child, can understand that and you all don't believe it, but I don't know either, that The person surnamed Mu said that he was an old man from my family, and the things he taught me were actually true."

"Mu!" Old Chen's eyes lit up. With a population of 13 billion in the Celestial Dynasty, there are not many people with the surname Mu, but there are definitely many.But if you talk about a knowledgeable old man with the surname Mu, there is only one in L City, but this person disappeared more than ten years ago. Some say that he has an illegitimate son who lives abroad and went abroad to enjoy the blessings. Fearing that Hon Hai would miss him, he retired early.Not to mention L City, even in the Celestial Dynasty, Elder Mu's vision is first-class and vicious. If Elder Mu really made a move, then this child might be the real one.

Chen Lao's thoughts fell into a long memory, and the shopkeeper of Yufangzhai also heard about Mu Lao's affairs, Mu Xichen is a legend.He has been a genius in the world of antiques since he was born. Not to mention his first-class ability in appreciating and handling antiques, his ability to imitate antiques is also first-class, and the high-quality imitation masters and schools that have been handed down for hundreds of years cannot match him.

Such a person, who shines in the upper class of L City at a young age, a person born in the 20s, born in a wealthy family, raised in a honeypot, and able to understand the past and present in his teens, is really a genius through the ages.But this genius, who couldn't lift his shoulders or hands, picked up a gun 37 years later, and went to a protracted war with the then Tubalu and now the Communist Party.When I came back eight years later, I was blind in one eye, lame in one leg, and my pair of tough and slender hands were full of calluses and scars. The knife of Baiwei life.

But he is still a hero, a hero who can understand the past and the present, and can be admired in martial arts.

Since then, Mu Xichen has become the benchmark of L City. In the turbulent years before the reform and opening up, he also used his identity as an old revolutionary hero to preserve many cultural relics and historic sites.And it was such a stunningly talented and attractive person who suddenly disappeared from the world 15 years ago. No one knew where he went, and Mu Xichen was no longer seen in L City.

And this child in front of him is Mu Xichen's heir?Shopkeeper Xu withdrew his thoughts of taking advantage of the time, and looked at Mu Xuan with complicated eyes, such a naughty child, can you take out your hand that was soaked in the fish tank to catch fish!

Those few small fish are the lifeblood of shopkeeper Xu, when Xu Changhui saw this little kid constantly fishing in the water, Xu Changhui wanted to raise his heart.He rushed up and picked up the child, and squeezed hard to squeeze out the words: "What are you...doing!"

Mu Xuan was still staring at the fish: "The fish is quite beautiful, I want to fish it out and play with it."

"Then, no, it's, you, play, de, east, west!" Xu Changhui wanted to strangle the child to death.

"Stingy!" Mu Xuan pouted, stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't give the fish, then I will take this stone."

It was an ornamental stone under the fish tank, half the size of a palm, and the surface was washed smooth by the water. There were thin orange stripes on the black stone, which was very beautiful.These days, some strange stones are often worth more than jade, but that doesn't mean the stone at the bottom of the fish tank is worth much.Xu Changhui abandoned Mu Xuan and went to see his precious fish. Fortunately, apart from being a little shocked, there was no other harm.

Mu Xuan naturally put the stone into his pocket, and after eating a piece of pastry, he said slowly: "I am very poor, I have been looking for a job for a long time but no one hired me, and I have no living expenses for the next semester. The old man Mu used to Said that he taught me these things are very valuable, so I came here to try to find a job, can you give me a job?"

Xu Changhui and Mr. Chen exchanged glances. The two first stabilized Mu Xuan, and then each of them started bombing in turn, asking for Mu Xichen's whereabouts.How does Mu Xuan know who Mu Xichen is? No matter what he asks, he just says that he is an old man who is so old that he can't even see his face. He always takes a book and teaches him a bunch of things that cannot be eaten or worn. study.After studying for so long, I will recognize the truth. As for how I recognized it, I'm sorry, the old man won't let me tell others.They didn't ask anything, but Mu Xuan learned a lot about this person from them.

He is a capable person. Although the apprentices accepted by such a person are suspicious, there is no evidence to be found.It's just that the person who transmitted the sound transmission to him just now was Mu Xichen himself, or someone who knew his whereabouts?

If it is Mu Xichen himself, it is possible.Judging from the admiration of Mr. Chen and Xu Changhui, Mu Xichen is a genius and a person who often comes into contact with ancient relics. It cannot be ruled out that he discovered some cultivation methods when studying cultural relics more than ten years ago, and went to practice incognito. Now the ability to transmit sound into secrets.Seeing that Yufangzhai, which was the property under the name of the Mu family, was being made difficult by others, it would be understandable to lend him a favor.But if it wasn't for Mu Xichen, there would be some problems.

But it's useless to think too much now, the most urgent thing is to decide on your own work.Fortunately, with the previous ability to identify antiques, Mr. Chen and Xu Changhui took out a few high-quality imitations and less valuable genuine ones, and found that this kid didn't have much basic knowledge, but his ability to identify the year was top-notch.From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the [-]th century, he can identify the molding time, unearthed time, and imitation time of the objects with an error of no more than ten years. This is already a terrifying skill.

It's not impossible to hire him, and this kid has a lot of secrets, so further observation is needed.In the end, Mu Xuan and Xu Changhui happily agreed on a monthly salary of [-] during the holidays and [-] after the start of the school year. Every time an item is identified, there will be a corresponding commission. You don’t have to go to work all day, and you can come to study and help every day during the holidays. As long as you come at night and on holidays, your salary will be paid during school.

But for Yu Fangzhai, Mu Xuan's credit for recognizing the real and fake three-color horse today is worth his salary for several years.

But Mu Xuan is still not satisfied with these, and it is impossible for him to be satisfied.Regardless of whether he is really capable or fake, today he is completely on the opposite side of the Hon Hai Society and offended them.Now that his parents have run away, he is not afraid of them if he is full and the whole family is not hungry, but now Mu Xuan is still living in Mrs. Bao's house. It is enough for them to suffer if Uncle and Aunt Bao are unemployed.

Although Aunt Bao had kindly let him live there, no matter what the reasons were, Mu Xuan did not intend to live in their house forever.The best way at this stage is to live in Yufangzhai, even if you need less wages, you still have to find a place to live.

"Could it be that when you recruit employees, you don't cover them?" After agreeing on the wages, Mu Xuan took advantage of the situation to make a request.

Xu Changhui told him: "We rented a house near Antique Street for a guy. It's a second-floor dilapidated house with an attic in the Republic of China. The rest of the rooms are full, and now there's only the attic full of sundries left. There is no heating in winter, and it is ventilated everywhere, which is not suitable for the owner. And you go to No. [-] Middle School, and there is no direct bus from here to No. [-] Middle School. It takes too much time to transfer, and it takes more than half an hour to ride. Are you sure you want to live?"

"Of course." Mu Xuan nodded, "It's better to work harder than sleeping on the street."

Xu Changhui exchanged glances with Mr. Chen. It was really hard for this poor-looking boy to get along with Mu Xichen.There are too many doubts about him, since he has to live here, let's keep him and find out his details, maybe he can find clues for the things that disappeared with Mu Xichen back then.

So one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.Mu Xuan put his hands in his pockets, tightly holding the black stone that was pried away from the fish tank.

Whether it is a trap or a crisis, this is the only opportunity for him to practice at present, even if he knows that there is an abyss ahead, he still has to go on.
