MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 22 struggle and jealousy 4

Outside the Great Wall Antique Store in Manhattan, Li Xiaoshuai is knocking on the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Today is an appointment to come to Zhao Zhiyun for apprenticeship.

His mother attached great importance to this matter, and told her son to never come to the door empty-handed. After thinking about it, Li Xiaoshuai thought that it would be the most appropriate to buy a bunch of flowers.

This antique shop used two signs on the top, with Chinese characters on the top and a line of English on the bottom. On the shelves in the polished glass window, there were also several antique blue and white porcelain.

If you do this, no matter who it is, you just need to look at it to know that this is a shop that sells antiques from the Rabbit Kingdom.

Push the door; enter, the doorbell also emits a "ding dong" sound, which also reminds Zhao Zhiyun who is reading a book.

"Oh, it's Xiao Li, welcome." Zhao Zhiyun put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

Li Xiaoshuai offered flowers in his hand, then bent down and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhao, I am here to apprentice with sincerity. I hope you can accept my little apprentice."

This sentence was also given to her son by Li's mother, and he had to recite it several times in person, so this sentence was said in Xiao Li's mouth very smoothly today.

After arranging Li Xiaoshuai to sit down, Zhao Zhiyun said, "Little Li, learning antiques is a very boring subject, and you have to endure loneliness. You are not tired of facing these old things every day? "

"No, I think it's very interesting to watch, and I have a good memory. I can remember what I have seen, and if I watch it again, basically I won't forget it."

Afterwards, Li Xiaoshuai spent another month reading twice the materials handed down from his family by the old man Gardner, and told Zhao Zhiyun in detail. He also mentioned that he needed to compare the collections of the museum, and he had to go back and forth. Check out the clouds.

It made Zhao Zhiyun feel very surprised. He said that he never thought that this young man who grew up in the United States would still love old-fashioned goods. What is even more commendable is that he still has such a good memory.

The most important thing for learning antiques is to have a good memory, what you have seen; what you have heard, as long as you think it is useful, you must keep it in your heart.

The young man in front of him is very good, he can sit still!

Being able to sit is a prerequisite for doing all learning!

Zhao Zhiyun got up and said that Huaxia has a very long history. If you want to learn the antiques of the Rabbit Kingdom, you must first understand the history of the Rabbit Kingdom.

For example, Xia, Shang and Zhou basically only produced jade ware; bronze ware, another example; what happened to the three-colored kiln in the Tang Dynasty, and how did the five famous kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty come from, all need to read books.

"After you go back, look for a few history books of the Rabbit Country yourself. The historical changes of various dynasties must be thoroughly memorized!"

"OK."

Zhao Zhiyun also began to introduce that antiques are divided into bronze ware; jade, calligraphy and painting, porcelain and miscellaneous items, each of which can be learned for a lifetime. If you want to learn, you must be prepared to immerse yourself in it for a lifetime.

"Yes, I will definitely learn from you seriously." Li Xiaoshuai stood up again and said in a very serious tone.

He was still thinking, I have the power of clairvoyance, which is very suitable for my knowledge, and now there is an old master teaching me, why don't I study hard?

If I don't learn this knowledge well, the antiques I will pick up in the future will not be able to tell what they are, and how can they sell for high prices?

Zhao Zhiyun instructed Li Xiaoshuai to move the two large boxes in the back room, and then he said: "Master leads the door, the effort is on your own. Today I will give you an enlightenment first, and the rest will depend on your understanding."

The first big box is full of broken objects, of all kinds.

Teacher Zhao first took out a copper incense burner with only half of it left and said that it was a bronze tripod of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and carefully understood the copper rust on the bottom and top. Then there was another small box that I didn't know what it was made of, said to be lacquerware.

Afterwards, jade, agate, ancient coins, old books, etc. were all available. Teacher Zhao spent more than two hours talking about these.

On the contrary, Li Xiaoshuai, who grew up in the United States, learned a lot of knowledge. He also said with emotion: "I never imagined that there are so many antiques in Rabbit Country, I really need to calm down and study hard." This is what Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart.

"It has to be, or you'll only learn the skins in your life."

The second box is full of broken pieces of porcelain of various colors. Teacher Zhao said that these porcelains are too extensive, so I will leave them to you to learn slowly.

He also found a dozen tomes like bricks and threw them to Li Xiaoshuai.

Said: "Since you have a good memory, then I will give you a few more books. You go back and have a good look at the specimens, and come to me when you understand it."

Li Xiaoshuai saw that some of these books were about bronze wares and jade wares, and several of them were about official kiln porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were also miscellaneous types of bamboo and wood ivory carvings.

Saying goodbye to Teacher Zhao, Li Xiaoshuai drove the car very fast, still thinking in his heart, sharpening knives is not wrong for chopping wood, looking for these books given by the teacher, you must read them carefully, there are so many specimens, but also carefully have a look.

I'm still young, and I can only make a difference if I learn my skills, but I can't always rely on supernatural powers. In case one day the ability is gone, UU reading www. uukanshu.com What should I do? Will this day go on?

On the way home, Li Xiaoshuai went to the bookstore and spent a lot of time buying several sets of books about the history of the Rabbit Kingdom, including "General History of the Rabbit Kingdom" and "Introduction to Celebrities in the History of the Rabbit Kingdom".

There is also the "Historical Records" specially ordered by Teacher Zhao, and Li Xiaoshuai has to find several bookstores to buy it.

Returning home again, Li Xiaoshuai read the "Records of the Grand Historian" first according to Teacher Zhao's arrangement.

Poor Li Xiaoshuai, who has only a little knowledge of rabbit country literature, it is very difficult to read this historical masterpiece of the Han Dynasty. Do you have to ask her mother for help, otherwise, she will really not be able to learn it.

As for the auction catalogue, he is also looking at it now, but it is regarded as a pastime in his spare time. Now it belongs to watching and playing.

Li Xiaoshuai settled down and immersed himself in the sea of ​​books.

As long as he is at home, he must be reading a book, and it is only a few hours at a glance, and he does not even know that his mother is off work.

There is a serious and studious child in the family, any mother in the world will feel gratified, this is true, both Chinese and foreign.

As for whether he can succeed or not, Li's mother absolutely believes in her son, because Li Xiaoshuai has always achieved good grades since elementary school. Whether it is learning painting and sculpture, or his own homework, he has never failed the exam.

During dinner, Li Xiaoshuai put the book on the table and read it while eating. In the dead of night, Li Xiaoshuai was still reading, and he didn't even know it was raining outside.

Xia Huifang woke up in the morning to make breakfast, and saw that her son woke up earlier than her, and was already sitting in front of the window holding a broken piece of porcelain in a daze. At night, when Li's mother got up, she saw that the lights in her son's room were still on.

"Oh, my son has become a nerd." Xia Huifang was extremely satisfied.
