Chapter 31 The Green Dragon Jade Pot (2)
Su Taoyi suddenly kept silent, his face unhappy, and found that he was talking a little too much. He took a deep breath and was about to speak. However, Xue Xiaobao said with an excuse: "In the end, the "Surf Bird Jade Pot" was discovered in the ruins of the Ming Dynasty imperial palace in Nanjing.
Su Taoyi didn't say anything and looked at him quietly.
Xue Xiaobao smiled and said, "According to legend, the dragon vein in Nanjing was cut off by Qin Shihuang. I believe my father-in-law has heard of it. Therefore, Emperor Yongle moved the capital to the north, which is now the capital. At that time, many treasures left by the Ming Palace were all obtained by Zhu Yuanzhang during the war. It is not surprising that the "Surf Bird Jade Pot" appeared."
In the ancient Feng Shui history of my country, the most famous thing about Qin Shihuang traveling east to suppress the "Emperor's Spirit" in the southeast. In fact, the Feng Shui incidents created by Qin Shihuang during his lifetime were far more than this. Legend has it that for the ten thousand years of foundation of the Great Qin Empire, Qin Shihuang went to Liu Bang's hometown and the royal family.
In the 37th year of Qin Shihuang, during his travels to the east, there were always sorcerers who were good at looking at the qi among the entourage. Wherever he went, Qin Shihuang first asked these sorcerers to observe the geography and understand the origins. Legend has it that when Qin Shihuang was traveling to Fengyi in Pengcheng, the sorcerers discovered that Fengyi had a "water dragon power", so Qin Shihuang immediately asked him to dig a trench and bury his sword to break it to cut off the "dragon vein" here.
Pei County has the water of Huai and Si, which is located between the Jianghuai River and Huai River. Fengyi is named "Pei" because of its abundant water sources. In ancient times, locals used snakes as their totems. "Dragon" means the incarnation of snakes, and "Jiaolong" is a kind of water snake. After Liu Bang became the emperor, the people said that he was the "son of Jiaolong".
After listening to the sorcerer's report that the "dragon" was born in the local area, Qin Shihuang ordered that all the boys born in Fengyi be killed in the recent period. At the same time, he built high platforms in the local area to suppress the king's spirit; digging trenches and burying swords to break the "dragon veins". Coincidentally, Liu Bang's parents took Liu Bang to Pei County at that time and escaped the disaster. This is how the saying "Fengsheng Pei raised Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty" came from.
But what Qin Shihuang did was wasted. Three years after his death, the world began to rebel. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the uprising first, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu followed. In the end, the Ying family was captured by Liu Bang, the "son of the dragon". Zhu Cun, a poet of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was inspired by this. Zeng's poem was very poetic - the Southeast King fought a bull, and the ancestor dragon was worried for his descendants.
The earth veins in Jinling have never been broken, and the real person's surname is Liu.
By the way, it is said that Liu Bang's fortune-telling is indeed a fate with a snake. According to "Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Annals of Emperor Gaozu", when Liu Bang sent prisoners to Mount Li to build a tomb for Qin Shihuang, and the incident happened during his journey in Mangshan area of Yongcheng County. Liu Bang once killed a big white snake that blocked the way. After killing the snake, Liu Bang announced an uprising, and finally became the emperor. It turned out that Liu Bang was not killing a snake, but a god, the son of Baidi, one of the Five Ancient Chinese Emperors who turned into a snake. Liu Bang himself was the son of the Red Emperor, Su Taoyi, and his mouth moved, and squeezed out a smile and said, "You know a lot. The family deserves to be a dealer in antiques. Do you think you have seen this? Take this seriously?"
"Well, I saw it when I was a child. After so many years, I don't know where to throw it away." Xue Xiaobao said indifferently. The "jade pot" seemed to be worthless in his eyes.
Su Taoyi has not been so angry for many years now. He really doesn't know what to say. Although this kid is Su Rong's boyfriend, it is not easy to interfere too much in his family affairs.
"Let's go downstairs to have a meal and chat slowly."
"Okay! I'm already hungry." Xue Xiaobao smiled shyly.
Seeing that he was like a child, Su Taoyi shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, saying, "Don't leave tonight, stay at home."
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Su Rong that a guy named Zhang Dashou came to the capital. Where is he living now? I'll go find him after dinner."
"What are you looking for him?"
"Can I keep my girlfriend?" Xue Xiaobao said domineeringly with banditry.
Su Taoyi smiled, patted his shoulder for fear of him, and said, "Don't bother, I will send him away."
"Give you face, I'll give him a discount this time." Xue Xiaobao was as 20,000 or 50,000 yuan.
Su Taoyi smiled and made up his mind to find out Xue Xiaobao's identity. So, he would leave Xue Xiaobao tonight, and the two had a long talk and a good exchange.
While eating, Xue Xiaobao kept Su Rong's instructions in mind, chewed slowly, and had a gentle meal.
Looking at the chicken, duck, fish, meat, and pork elbows, Xue Xiaobao was so anxious that he was sweating.
"Xiaobao, eat more." Su Taoyi asked curiously when he saw that he was depressed.
"I can't eat well!" Xue Xiaobao stared at the pig's elbow and murmured to himself.
Su Taoyi was stunned and said, "What's wrong? I feel uncomfortable, or is it not delicious?"
"No, it's just this meal... Oh, it hurts!" Xue Xiaobao turned his head and glared at Su Rong.
"Don't talk when you eat." Su Rong whispered.
"It's a pity to eat, it's better not to eat it." Xue Xiaobao muttered.
Su Rong felt so angry, but he couldn't get angry in front of his father, and said to himself: I'll torture you to death after I go home.
Seeing that his daughter and Xue Xiaobao seemed to have a conflict, Su Taoyi quickly joined forces and said, "Xiaobao is not an outsider. Can he not let him eat enough for a meal? Xiaobao, eat whatever he wants. If he feels it doesn't fit, let the chef do it."
"Really?" Xue Xiaobao asked with wide eyes.
Su Taoyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can be called a man if you eat too much."
"Heroes have similar views, I always think so. Men should be like men when they eat, and look beautiful and look like women. I hate it..." Xue Xiaobao said, reaching out to grab the pig's elbow.
But when his hand was one inch away from the pig's elbow, he stopped. He turned his head and looked at Su Rong, and asked loudly, "Can I eat it?"
Su Rong gritted his teeth and nodded.
When he saw Su Rong nodding, Xue Xiaobao grinned, grabbed the pig's elbow and chewed it.
Su Taoyi is a famous entrepreneur in the province and a person of status. He has eaten like Xue Xiaobao. But that was when he went to the countryside to work thirty years ago. Now that he is so materially developed, there will be no such thing as famine. The guy in front of him is like he hasn't eaten for 800 years. It's like a wind blowing away the wind.
Su Taoyi and Su Rong both put down their bowls and chopsticks and watched Xue Xiaobao perform the "art" of eating alone.
After Xue Xiaobao was full, Su Taoyi said to Su Rong: "Let's stay at home tonight. Xue Xiaobao and I hit it off at first sight, and we still have many things to ask him for advice."
As soon as these words came out, Su Rong thought there was something wrong with his ear. His father actually asked him for advice. He nodded solemnly when he saw Xue Xiaobao and said, "No problem, we are all a family. I will take Su Rong back to my hometown another day, and bring some good things back to honor you."
His words were so sweet, like eating honey. Su Taoyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew very well that antiques and cultural relics could not be bought with money, but also required luck and fate.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I like you more and more, boy. Let's go to the study and continue chatting."
Su Rong was so angry that she saw her father and Xue Xiaobao's attitude. She thought it was not good. If this continued to develop, there was a risk of making fakes come true. She hurried back to her room and called her best friend to discuss countermeasures.
