Chapter 221 (1/2)
Zenghua has also experienced many major changes in his life. The name of ”death seeking hell” has been buried in his memory. Once it is turned out, the past will flash in his mind like a picture.
Zeng Hua looked at Chu Lingfeng and recalled, ”it's a coincidence that I knew your grandfather. It should have happened in 1927. I was ten years old. When I met him, I didn't know that he and my great grandfather had never known each other.”
With Zenghua's complaint, what happened 60 years ago has surfaced again.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than ten thousand people left behind? The number of Wang sun Bei Le is even more numerous. They all take care of their own affairs. No one has the leisure to worry about other people's affairs.
It turns out that Kai Shen opened a coffin shop. Of course, that Kai Shen was also the yellow belt of the former Qing Dynasty. We can see what the old and the young were like at that time.
So Zenghua's family was very poor when he was young, but as the saying goes, the children of poor families were in charge early, so Zenghua people were very diligent and had a good look. They often helped in the coffin shop. One day in the summer of 27, he met a Madman of Chu.
Chu Lingfeng is familiar with Qi Shen, but this time he wants to order a good coffin. He sees that Zeng Hua's people are very intelligent. At that time, he once wanted to be a disciple.
However, Chu Lingfeng still has some things to deal with. After hearing that Zeng Hua's great grandfather Qi Shen knew Qi Baishi, he wrote a letter of recommendation and asked Zeng Hua to take it to Qi Baishi to worship him.
In the 1920s and 1930s, old man Baishi was famous in the capital. Especially after his 63 year old illness and the death of his father at the age of 64, his calligraphy and painting became rare. Many celebrities from all walks of life in the capital were hard to find at that time.
It's just that Qi Baishi and Qi Qishi don't have a deep friendship. Zenghua's ability to learn painting from Baishi depends on Chu Lingfeng's letter of recommendation.
From that year on, Zenghua was lucky. Through old man Baishi, he got to know many famous calligraphers and painters in Beijing. It can be said that since then, Zenghua has officially entered the palace of art.
After the Japanese invasion of China, Chu Madman once had a trip to the capital, but he came and went in a hurry. At that time, he left Zenghua a lot of money, and taught Chu Lingfeng some knowledge about the identification and identification of cultural relics, then he left.
Chu Lingfeng may have done something unintentionally, but Zenghua, who had always been very poor, used the money to tide over the difficulties at that time. With the grace of recommending the teacher, Zenghua kept the name of ”death killing hell” in mind.
But after that meeting, Zeng Hua never heard of Chu Lingfeng's name. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, he also inquired about Chu Lingfeng in many ways. However, Chu Lingfeng seemed to have evaporated from the world without any news.
Zeng Hua told Chu Lingfeng the story and said with a smile, ”Ling Feng, in fact, you and I can be called brothers. But I only studied with him for one month. It's too short.”
Chu Ling Feng nodded and boasted: ”what my grandfather has learned is really extensive and profound.”
But Zenghua looked at Chu Lingfeng and said hesitantly, ”Lingfeng, I know he is not a mortal, but he didn't teach you all his other skills, did he?”
”Oh? Old man, I just learned Cultural Relic Appreciation, piano and medicine from my grandfather. He didn't teach me anything else“ Chu Lingfeng looks at Zenghua with a smile. After all, there are some things he doesn't want to tell Zenghua.
