Even if he did not, he would at least know that it was not that simple. It was just that he had a tacit understanding, and was too lazy to go and talk to the two newbies outside the city who did not understand the rules.

Lin Xi searched the crowd and finally found President Zhang. He placed the two walnuts in his hand into a bag on his waist and the snuff bottle into his pocket, with one hand holding onto the Dragon-Headed Cane and the other holding onto the fish basket as he walked out of the Flower Bird's Antique Street. He started to sing a song.

As a person of the Ba Chuan, Lin Xi had grown up listening to Sichuan Opera, and had even listened to Beijing Opera and Cantonese Opera from the Elder Shu, but the song that President Zhang was humming was actually obscure and hard to understand. If not for the fact that it was Kunlun Opera that Lin Xi had listened to from Elder Shu once, he might have even thought that President Zhang was just randomly singing.

Kunpu, also known as Kunpu and Kunshan, is the oldest kind of drama in China, and also one of the most valuable works in traditional Chinese culture and art. It originated in Taiyuan Pier, Suzhou, in the 14th century, and was later improved by Wei Liangfu and became the sole leader of Chinese drama in the last 300 years. It has the reputation of "Master of Hundred Operas", but although Kunpao is good, its contents are mostly obscure and hard for ordinary people to understand.

However, when it came to Kunge, Wei Liangfu had to be mentioned as well. If it weren't for him, today's Kunge wouldn't have existed, because he was the one who brought it to glory.

Wei Liangfu (1489-1566) was a new man (Nanchang, Jiangxi Province), summoned by the calligraphers, named Zhai, and later named Shang Quan, Shang Quan, and Yu Feng, the Grand Scholar of Jiajing for five years (1526). In the 31st year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the post of the Left Chief Executive of Shandong Province, and became a de facto envoy of the border feudal to the second rank, the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Reception, Industry and Revenue, the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Penalty and Deputy Minister of Investigation of Guangxi. Three years later, he wrote to Si, and lived in Taiyuan, Jiangsu Province, where he was engrossed in the improvement of the song and creation.

Wei Liangfu had a high literary quality, not only is his voice beautiful, but he also has a strong voice rhythm. During the period in Taiyuan, with the help of Yunshi, Zhangye Tang and others, Taiyuan became famous for his knowledge of the North and South Comedy, and became known as "National Craftsman", "Qu Sheng", and even the ancestor of Kunming, and became the founder of the Kunge.

However, the song he wrote was regarded as a classic by the later generations, and was passed down from generation to generation. He left behind a book called "Melody" (A Southern Word Citation), which was an important work on the Kunming singing method and the North and South School of Music.

At that time, the song that the President Zhang was humming was one of the most famous classical songs in Kunlun, called "Pipa Records". Although Lin Xi did not understand it, he was a top student in the History Department and had a certain understanding of it:

The song was sung by Cai Yong, a scholar from Chen Liu Prefecture. His wife, Zhao Wu Niang, had only been married for two months, but because of the year of the competition, her father was forced to go to the capital to take the examination and obtain a reputation.

In the first year of high school, he was awarded the post of Minister of Imperial Household. Prime Minister Niu ordered the recruitment of Bo Qiuyi, and Bo Qiuyi used the name of raising his parents to justify his failure to serve as an official and his failure to get married.

At this time of Chen Liu Lian's annual famine, the Fifth Mother relied on the pawnshop to support her parents-in-law, eating and living on her own. Mrs. Cai originally thought that Wu Niang was hiding some delicacies, but when she found out that her wife had eaten the bran, she died of guilt. Mr. Cai was also dying of a serious illness, so he died soon after.

Fifth Mother had no money to bury, so she had to cut her hair to sell. Fortunately, her neighbor, Grand Master Zhang Zhou Ji, was able to bury her in-laws. After Zhao Wu Niang buried her in-laws, she drew the faces of the two elders, carried the lute on her back, and started singing all the way to Beijing to find a husband.

At that time, after he had taken over Niu Mansion, he had sent a message home, but unexpectedly, the messenger had turned around and fled, missing his parents and Fifth Mother all day. When Niu knew the truth of the matter, he asked his father to return to his home to serve his parents, but Prime Minister Niu only agreed to send someone to pick them up.

Zhao and Fifth Mother found out about it after entering the capital, and entered the Niu Mansion as a servant. When Niu learned the truth of the matter, she drew the two elders' faces with the words of Fifth Mother, as well as her poem after painting.

At the request of Niu, the prime minister finally agreed to let Zeke take Fifth Mother and Niu back to their homes for filial piety, and at the same time to keep the court watch. In the end, the Emperor was awarded a reward. The Cai family was conferred a title, it was a glorious village.

But it is worth mentioning that the Cai Yong in the play is very different from the Cai Yong in the history, which can only be left to his own devices and not to his own devices.

Not long after President Zhang left, because he had been thinking about the item he had just seen, Lin Xi bid his farewells to the vendor before walking towards Brother Ma's booth.

Now, he was almost certain that as long as the Heaven's Eyes could see the green glow in the object, it would be an antique. In other words, the 1500 yuan Buddha statue was also a true antique.

Furthermore, Lin Xi guessed that the age of the Buddha statue might have even exceeded that of a snuff bottle. However, since he did not know much about the field of antiques, he was not very clear on the specifics.

At least, he had earned a huge sum of money from that Buddha statue.

And now that he saw another object that contained a cyan colored light, Lin Xi was naturally unwilling to let it go. He pretended to walk in front of the Brother Ma's stall unintentionally, picked up a coin, and carefully examined it.

Lin Xi was not anxious at all, only after looking through all the items on the vendor's stall with extreme patience did he pick up the coin from the beginning and play with it. After a while, he asked: "Boss, how much is this ancient money?"

Brother Ma and Little Six were still immersed in their joy, discussing about how to split the money, bragging about how they should make a huge profit, and how they should leave immediately, yet they did not seem to hear Lin Xi's question price.

However, it was true that most of the money on the stalls were fake ones that could be sold for more than a few coins. Besides, compared to the forty thousand yuan sum of money, that small amount of money was nothing to them.

Brother Ma heard someone asking for the price and felt like he was being disturbed. Without raising his head, he said unhappily, "500 Yuan.

After hearing the impatience in the Brother Ma's tone, Lin Xi thought to himself that he did not expect it, and then asked with a smile: "Boss, how much is this string of hand string?"

Once again being disturbed by someone, and hearing that it was the same person, Brother Ma was immediately enraged. He raised his head and shouted, "Five hundred yuan, all five hundred yuan, do you understand?

Lin Xi wasn't angry in the slightest. Instead, he shook his head and sighed, looking like an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life: "Boss, business, it's better to call it business if there's trouble coming and going. How can you do business like this?

Lin Xi's words caused Brother Ma to suddenly be enlightened, as if he was enlightened. He thought that he had really lost a bit of thought, but he still understood the various items on display, and even he himself did not know the origins of some of them, let alone this stupid young man who acted like a big tail wolf.

After thinking about it, Brother Ma's expression became like rain that had passed through the weather. He instantly smiled and said in an attentive manner: "Little bro, you're right, it's your bro's fault. What have you taken a fancy to, bro, go ahead and tell me, I'll give you a price!"

Lil 'Six also stood to the side, fanning the flames. "That's right, little brother, tell us what you like. We can give you a discount and also thank you for your advice."

Lin Xi was secretly happy in his heart. He swept his eyes across the stalls a few more times, then pointed at a few items and said: "This one, this ancient coin, and that string of beads. Hmm, there's also this folding fan.
