Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 209 Master
That night by the tranquil riverside, Zhao Jiadi and Shang Weiwei chatted a lot like long-lost friends. After more than five years, Zhao Jiadi heard Shang Weiwei's laughter for the first time, and Shang Weiwei also began to realize The childhood playmate next to me is already a man who needs to shave his beard from time to time. She said that Zhao Jiadi must have a girlfriend. Zhao Jiadi asked if you have a boyfriend. If you don’t fall in love before graduation, Zhao Jiadi joked that you’d better find one quickly, or just pretend, so as not to waste the precious youth of a large number of suitors.Shang Weiwei murmured, don't fall in love in a daze, it doesn't make any sense at all.

Zhao Jia's order was limited, and he dared not make any bigger jokes. In my impression, Shang Weiwei had never been a magnanimous girl. She could fight him for weeks over trivial matters when she was a child, such as Zhao Jiadi pulled her small hand, or lifted her skirt or something. The oolong incident of climbing the wall to see Hongxing, didn't it involve a cold war that lasted nearly six years.When Shang Weiwei returned home, she refused to let Zhao Jiadi see her off, so Zhao Jiadi stopped pointlessly insisting, and went back to the house alone, and saw that Zhang Xuchu's room was still lit, and walked in, the child was previewing with the desk lamp on. In the new semester course, I never slacked off in Hangzhou for a day, and even took the time to thoroughly study the "New Handbook of Commonly Used Traditional Chinese Medicine". Now I am starting to read the "Basic Tour Guide". He sat down on a chair and asked if there was anything he didn't understand.Xiao Babai grinned and said, Uncle, if I don’t understand, I will try to figure it out myself.Zhao Jiadi touched this little head, and said that it is a good habit to dig into the horns moderately, but don't push yourself too much, it is easy to fall into another misunderstanding, which is not good.Zhang Xuchu seemed to understand but kept it in his heart.Zhao Jiadi said to go to bed early, and tomorrow I will take you to visit my uncle's master, who is the person your sparrow brother fears the most.

In Haining Town, the fringe area of ​​Beidaihe District, the market in the early morning is noisy and bustling, the bustling traffic reveals the smell of the stock market, and the vendors and stores are doing early business, most of them are some soy milk buns and fried dough sticks. A slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man walked towards a familiar stall, Plain clothes, pale face, slender but withered fingers.He bought two vegetarian buns and a fresh soy milk, and just handed over the money, the proprietress found time to do another business, so busy, she forgot to talk to the middle-aged man, the man waited quietly, the proprietress finally turned around and saw the regular customer, Completely forgetting what he had already paid for, he hurriedly said two yuan and three, the man smiled, took out another five yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the proprietress, who gave him two and seventy cents, Keep busy.

The man carried his breakfast and walked slowly back to an old residential area nearby. He lived on the first floor. There were six or seven pots of flowers and plants on the sunny corridor. The house had a layout of one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, less than 40 square meters. It’s not a small place where prostitutes are forced to prostitute, the price is not expensive, there is no decoration in the room, no bookcase, no sofa, no TV, no refrigerator and air conditioner, except for the most basic dining table and chairs, there is only a table and chairs left that are not very traditional. The furniture of the tea table should be imitated "Qianlong Gong" red sandalwood cloud bat pattern, as the saying goes, ten sandalwood and nine empty, according to common sense, this is no different from ordinary men with low and middle wages. A few cases, a yellow chess pier was placed on the table, not Torreya wood, one left and one right two boxes of chess jars, not high-end, but the chess pier and chess boxes were old and polished, the man was eating one Tofu shredded radish steamed stuffed bun, while reading "The Abnormal Death of Chinese Literati", supplemented with illustrations, perhaps because of myopia, the slightly hunchbacked man bent over even more.

The doorbell rang, and the man stood up and opened the door. Seeing the young man and the child beside him, he smiled softly and said, "Jiadi, why did you come to my place?"

It was Zhao Jiadi and Zhang Xuchu who came to visit. Xiao Babai's eyes widened, as if he wanted to know why this not tall and not scary uncle in front of him made Brother Shangque terrified.Zhao Jiadi, who was carrying a pot of tea leaves, scratched his head and said respectfully, "Here are the tea leaves for you."

The man took the tea, "Well, come in."

Zhao Jiadi was respectful and sat upright.The man glanced at Zhang Xuchu and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Xiao Babai shook his head honestly.The thin man handed Zhang Xuchu the untouched steamed stuffed bun and a cup of soy milk, and said with a gentle smile, "Here, breakfast is very important, no matter how busy you are, you can't be careless."

Little Babai shook his head and said, "I'll go out and eat with Uncle Baer later."

The man was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and didn't say much, but looked at Zhao Jiadi, who was facing a formidable enemy, and asked, "I heard that you stopped the class for a year, have you made it up now?"

Zhao Jiadi nodded and said, "It's all made up."

The man stopped talking, and slowly settled the rest of the breakfast. By the way, he read two pages of "The Abnormal Death of Chinese Literati", tidied up, and asked Zhang Xuchu, "Can you play Go?"

Xiao Babai said shyly but not afraid: "I learned a little from my uncle during the summer vacation."

When a man talks, he likes to stare into people's eyes and never squints, but his gaze is not too aggressive. It may be out of usual etiquette. He looked at the little baby and said, "Well, don't you mind accompanying me next time?" plate?"

Little Babai turned his head and looked at Ba Ershu, Zhao Jiadi nodded.

After playing chess, the man kept silent. Only when playing chess, his waist was very straight. After playing chess, he didn't comment on anything, but quietly put the chess pieces back into the chess box. Knowing it's time to say goodbye, get up.

The man didn't ask to stay, but just said something indifferent: "Hangcheng is a good place for you, but it's hard to say if you go further south."

Zhao Jiadi led the ignorant Zhang Xuchu out of the house, keeping these words in mind, his heart was already in turmoil.

further south.

Southern Guangdong.Li Zhijin, who has a secret identity, is a private equity fund hosted by Dian Peinan.

After Zhao Jiadi was shocked, he was relieved.

Back then, this man who was taciturn but didn't deliberately put on a straight face said to a man who was still Zhao Xin: Go to the Northeast, stay for five years, and you can attract dragons into Hebei.

Five years later, a king of Zhao Yan was born in the northeast.

After becoming famous, Zhao Taizu sent a picture with only four words: The country is unparalleled.

"Uncle Ba Er, this uncle is not scary at all." Out of the community, when Zhang Xu Chu and Zhao Jia had breakfast together for the first time, Tong Yan said nothing.

"Hehe, when I was about your age, I didn't think he was scary. Now I don't dare." Zhao Jiadi said with emotion.During that period of time, he had to fight his temper in that room for more than ten hours a day. During this period, he smashed the flower pot of the skinny man, dropped the chess blocks, jumped and scolded with red eyes, and ran past secretly. When playing chess, his expression was serious and he was extremely meticulous.The rest of the time, he was smiling, staring into Xiao Baliang's eyes patiently and quietly, and never said long and obscure truths. What he said back then, Zhao Jiadi could understand at that time Things, at that time Zhao Jiadi only cared about resentment, and couldn't figure out the importance of many things. Now that he has experienced some things, when he looks back, it is not purely fear, or pure respect, but reverence.In Zhao Jiadi's cognition, the only one who can slightly surpass Yang Qingdi in terms of temperament is this master who still does not know his name and family background.

"Then why is Brother Shangque so afraid?" Zhang Xuchu asked curiously.In his opinion, apart from the eighth second uncle, Shangque is already a top-notch person.

"This is a bit complicated to say." Zhao Jiadi swallowed the steamed stuffed bun, and said vaguely: "In the past, Sparrow's grandfather spent his whole life writing a collection of historical research called "Gou Shen", which was passed down to Sparrow's father's generation. Write, a big fire almost burned it clean. Your Uncle Shang’s hair turned gray overnight at that time, and he almost committed suicide. It is said that he was stopped by Zhao Sanjin, but the effect was not great. Uncle talked for a day, and then he regained his strength and continued to grit his teeth and continue to write "The Hook". Your Uncle Shang is like someone in a martial arts novel who has been enlightened by a worldly expert. The hurdle was passed with one foot, and it is estimated that the little sparrow fell into a psychological shadow at that time."

"This uncle is so powerful." Zhang Xuchu opened his mouth wide.

"Many people can't tell if they are serious or not just by looking at them. Listening to their words is not enough, you have to watch their actions, and then figure out their hearts. This is all about university questions. Your eighth uncle is learning this now." Zhao Jiadi touched the child's head.

No matter whether little Babai understood it or not, he felt that what Uncle Baer said made sense.

Zhao Jiadi laughed suddenly: "In my memory, the master got angry once. After I escaped, I was caught by Zhao Sanjin. I snored deliberately every day in my sleep, and I tossed and tossed for a week. He really had nothing to do. During that winter vacation, he It reduced the time to write scores from twelve hours to ten hours."

Little Babai smiled and said, "Uncle Ba Er is really smart."

The amused Zhao Jiadi smiled and said: "He also said that, but he added a small word before being clever."
