Chapter 75 Jinmen Su Qikuai

The silky cup is a kind of wine utensil in ancient times.

It was very popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the Book of Songs, there is "I drink the wine of that little wine."

The shape and pattern of this crystal gusset is imitated in Shang and Zhou bronzes. It is not as thick as the bronzes, but it is better than its very special crystal material, colorless and transparent, smooth and pure, and exquisitely carved.

The crystal guillotine looks very simple but not crafty, but it is fine everywhere. The overall shape is like a gust. It is covered with a carved head of a double-horned beast, and the handle is carved into a Kui style, with a unique shape.

Of course, the old man’s meeting gift has profound meaning.

What is "sires"?

"Shi" refers to an ancient auspicious beast that looked like a rhino.

The most famous of "Six" is Taishang Laojun's mount, the green cow, the horn of the mount.

"Kaogong Ji·Hanren" says that the life of the rhinoceros is 200 years. The world is about to flourish and will appear in the world.

What is "Kui"?

Kui is also a strange beast in ancient legends. The dragon patterns on bronze ware are often called Kui pattern and Kui dragon pattern.

"Shan Hai Jing" says that "when entering and leaving the water, it will inevitably have wind and rain, its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. Huangdi got it, used its skin as a drum, and used the bones of thunder beasts to make a sound of thunder and hear the slogan for five hundred miles to dominate the world."

Derui.

Buwei.

Longqing.

Huaijie.

Chang Xian held the crystal slight goblet, his hands trembling slightly.

This is a heavy tool, it is expectation, sustenance, blessing, and inheritance.

The autumn wind squeezed in from outside the door. It was originally soft, but suddenly became violent. The old wooden door was hit hard against the wall. The bitter wind carried the fresh air of the plants and trees to blow up the white hair and beards of the two old men.

"The wind is blowing, and it's raining. Brother Jinyu, please go back."

The old man lifted his brow that covered his eyes and took out a piece of paper from the corner of the ground: "Child, just buy books according to this list of books and come here again tomorrow morning."

Chang Xian respectfully took the book list, glanced roughly, and couldn't help but take a breath. The first thing he did after he decided to throw away the collection magazines on the bookshelf.

The book list is densely written:

...

The next day, after breakfast, I often came to the deserted garden with my hair on my hair.

It is approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, and although there is still a little heat left, the temperature difference between morning and evening begins to grow. When I hear the footsteps of my usual leisure, I hear two barkings from dogs, which stretches and drifts away in the quiet morning wind.

An old man who doesn’t know his age doesn’t want anyone to serve him, and lives here with a native dog who doesn’t know his age.

It seems to be endlessly separated from the world.

The old man has no name, or has forgotten his name.

The dog has a name.

The old man without a name and the dog with a name sat on the white marble board in the pavilion, watching the rising sun falling on the deserted garden, covering himself little by little.

Chang Xian took a few steps and said respectfully: "Master!"

He touched the head of the dog again and said, "Xiaoman!"

This local dog was adopted by the old man on Xiaoman that day, so it is named Xiaoman.

Small-man means full without loss, full without fullness, full without overflow.

Two people walked slowly in the deserted path.

"My apprentice doesn't need to serve my daily life, and there are no troubles. The apprentice is not used to do this. Just need someone to serve me, just find a servant."

The old man openly and said solemnly: "It's ridiculous. I have never accepted disciples in my life, nor have I ever thought about accepting disciples. Therefore, my teachings must be very different from others. Since you join me, you should be mentally prepared."

Looking at Chang Xianzheng's key point, he continued: "No rules can lead to square order. I value rules the most in my life. Do you know Su Qijiu? I am also considered Su Qijiu."

Su Qikui is a famous person from Tianjin and has heard of Changxian.

Judging from the old man's solemn writing "Human Love Posts", he said that he was Su Qibiao, which was really accurate in positioning.

Su Qibiao's real name is Su Jinsan. He was the most famous orthopedic doctor in Tianjin during the Republic of China. Even foreigners came to ask him for horse racing, broken arms and legs.

When a person has the ability, his temper is accurate.

Doctor Su has various rules. Whenever he comes to see a doctor, no matter his relatives and relatives, he must first take seven silver dollars on the table before he can take the doctor, otherwise he will ignore it.

People scolded him for accepting money but not others, and his ability was worth seven yuan. For some reason, he was demoted as: Su Qiqiu.

Call him Doctor Su in person and Su Qibiao behind his back. Later, he didn't even know that his big name Su Jinsan was gone.

Su Qidiao was good at playing cards. He was idle all day long. Two card friends came to play, and three were missing one, so he invited Dr. Hua, a dentist not far from the north of the street, and gathered at a table.

The moment he was having fun, suddenly the tricycle driver Zhang Si broke in, leaned against the door, held his left elbow with his right hand, sweating in his head, and the small jacket around his neck was wet, obviously breaking his arm, and it hurts strongly.

But the tricycle drivers earn money and eat every day, so how can they get seven silver dollars?

He said he owed Dr. Su first, and then he was sure to pay it back. He was humming and screaming when he spoke.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Su didn't listen to the game, so he still touched the cards and counted the cards. He was happy, worried, or surprised, and pretended not to be surprised, and his mind was all on the card table.

A card friend couldn't see it and pointed his finger outside the door. Doctor Su's eyes remained unfaithed, and the nickname "Su Qijiu" was decisive.

The dentist, Dr. Hua, is famous for his kindness. He pushed and urinated. He left the card table and walked to the backyard, got out of the back door, walked around the front street, and quietly called Zhang Si who was leaning against the door from a distance, and took out seven silver dollars in his arms and gave it to him.

Without waiting for Zhang Si to be grateful, he turned around and returned to the original road, entered the house and sat back to the card table, and continued playing cards as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Zhang Si walked into the house and put the seven silver dollars on the table with a yard.

This time it was faster than ringing the bell. Doctor Su was already standing in front of Zhang Si, rolled up his sleeves, put Zhang Si's arm on the table, pinched the bones a few times, pulled the hand left and right, and pressed the lower and upper. Zhang Si pulled his shoulders, neck, closed his eyes and bared his teeth, and was about to take a few heavy blows, but Doctor Su said, "It's connected."

He immediately applied ointment, clamped the splint, and gave Zhang Si several packs of medicine to promote blood circulation and relieve pain oral treatment.

Zhang Si said that he had no money to pay for the medicine again, so Dr. Su just said, "I've given this medicine" and returned to the card table.

After the game was over, Dr. Su reached out to stop Dr. Hua. After the two card friends left, he beat the pile of silver dollars in front of his seat and put them in the palm of Dr. Hua's palm.
