Chapter 3411 Chapter 3413 [Xiaodouzi goes to school]

Xiang Nan left Yuanguzhai with a 10,000 silver dollar banknote. He first went to the bank to cash it out, and then went to exchange it for a small yellow croaker.

It is said that gold is hidden in troubled times and antiques are hidden in prosperous times. After changing it to gold, it is easier to bury and carry, which is much better than using the ocean.

Within two days, news about Xiang Nan’s Ming Wanli pastel general jar spread throughout Liulichang. For a moment, everyone knew he had a treasure in his hands.

 “This man is really a great collector. He has all kinds of Wanli pastels in the Ming Dynasty. It’s amazing!”

 “This man has a real background after all. He has a vicious vision and high methods. He is worthy of taking advantage of others!”

 “This man is really great. If he doesn’t take action, it will be amazing. Once he does, he will be astonishing. He is really high!”

“I don’t know how many good things are hidden in this man’s house. I really want to go in and see them if I have the chance~”

The shopkeepers of Liulichang all talked about it.

 In the following period, Xiang Nan appeared in Liulichang from time to time, sometimes buying and sometimes selling.

 The items purchased are all genuine treasures, such as bronzes from the last three dynasties, jades from the Han Dynasty, inscriptions from the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy and paintings from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties...

He collected all these things so that they would not be destroyed by wars, lost overseas, or ruined by people who did not understand.

The products sold are all fakes made by oneself, such as the Ge kiln and Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty, the Longquan kiln and Cizhou kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, the doucai, pastel, and blue and white of the Ming Dynasty, and the Kang, Yong, and Qian official kilns of the Qing Dynasty...

However, his craftsmanship is so high that he can imitate things to the point where they are indistinguishable from treasures, and no one has ever been able to tell.

On the contrary, they all thought that he was from a wealthy family and it was normal for him to have treasures in his hands. Not to mention Xuande blue and white, Wanli pastels, and Kangxi official kilns, even if one day he brought out a Ru kiln, they would not be surprised at all.

Through trading, Xiang Nan not only accumulated a net worth of hundreds of thousands, but also became a famous figure in Liulichang. When it comes to Young Master Duan, no one knows about him. He has become a well-known name in Liulichang.

 …

 In the midst of this buying and selling, time flies by.

When Xiaodouzi was seven years old, Xiang Nan specially sent him to primary school.

Three Hundred Thousand, Four Books and Five Classics, after all, they belong to the old culture. Nowadays, we are undergoing major changes that have not happened in thousands of years, and it is necessary to learn new knowledge.

 Besides, Xiaodouzi needs to have more contact with children of the same age, which is good for his physical and mental development.

“Senior brother, I can just study with you. There is no need to study outside.” Xiaodouzi said to Xiang Nan.

“Studying outside has the advantages of studying outside. You need to have more contact with people and see more of this society.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “Our courtyard is only as big as the big world outside.”

Seeing what he said, Xiaodouzi had no choice but to nod. He knew that what his senior brother said would not be wrong.

"You have a certain foundation in martial arts now, so you can't fight with others easily, but if someone wants to bully you, you don't need to be a coward." Xiang Nan advised again, "We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid either. Do you know what happened?"

 “I understand, senior brother.” Xiaodouzi nodded.

“That’s enough.” Xiang Nan smiled, and then sent him to Qiuzhi Primary School in Dongcheng. “Principal, teacher, I’ll leave this child to you.”

Qiuzhi Primary School was one of the best primary schools in Beijing at that time. Its predecessor was originally a missionary school, which can be traced back to the Tongzhi period. In 1909, this school admitted girls to the same school as boys for the first time, which caused quite a stir at the time. Today, this school has a history of more than 50 years and is among the best among many primary schools in Beijing.

 Hence, its tuition fees are quite high, with annual tuition costing NT$50. At that time, the monthly income of ordinary workers was only three to five yuan, so the students who could attend this elementary school were not necessarily rich or wealthy, but they were at least from middle-income families and above.

 “Easy to say, easy to say.” The principal and teacher both nodded.

 …

 And Xiaodouzi beat several children within two days of arriving at Qiuzhi Elementary School.

It turns out that there was a kid in their class who was a head taller than other kids of the same age. He was only seven or eight years old and weighed more than 100 kilograms. The so-called physical strength is not compromised, and he is a very good fighter, so he became the child king in the class and loved to bully other children.

Little Douzi is as handsome as a girl, and all girls are willing to play with him. This made the child king jealous, so he deliberately teamed up with his companions to bully Xiaodouzi.

Qiuzhi Primary School does not let out at noon. Students bring their meals to school and heat them up in the cafeteria at noon before eating.

Child King deliberately knocked away Xiaodouzi’s rice so that he had nothing to eat.

Just once or twice, Xiaodouzi didn’t want to cause trouble for his senior brother, so he chose to swallow his anger. But the kid king kept making troubles, and again and again, Xiaodouzi couldn't help but get angry, so he started fighting with the kid king.

Although Kid King is tall and strong, Xiaodouzi has practiced martial arts. His movements are fast and his strikes are heavy. After a few rounds, Kid King and his accomplices were all knocked to the ground. Every one of them was beaten black and blue.

 Because of this incident, Xiang Nan was invited to visit his parents for the first time.

“Senior brother, I’m really sorry, I’ve caused you trouble.” Xiaodouzi said very apologetically.

"It's nothing. It's my first time to do this, senior brother." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But don't be so serious next time. If you don't encounter life danger, you are not a heinous bad guy, so don't hurt others easily. Junior Brother , you remember, the more powerful your martial arts is, the more you must convince others with your virtue."

 “I understand, senior brother.” Xiaodouzi nodded.

Xiang Nan then smiled.

　　Then he went to the school to meet with the teacher, and promised to educate Xiaodouzi well, and also compensated the medical expenses of Kid Wang and others, so the matter was settled.

From then on, Xiaodouzi became famous and was never bullied in school.

 After all, seven-year-old Xiao Douding can defeat seven or eight children older than him. Who would dare to bully him if he is such a good fighter? Even the child king has lost his prestige and will not dare to dominate the class in the future.

However, Xiaodouzi's popularity in the class is getting better and better, and his classmates are willing to associate with him, which naturally makes Xiaodouzi very happy.

 In fact, Xiaodouzi has a very good character, kind, simple, and motivated. The reason why the character in the film is twisted is because he has been suppressed for many years and forced out of his life. As the saying goes, you can't live without being crazy.

 But since he has been popular for so many years, he must have no problem in dealing with people and dealing with favors.

 Otherwise, how would it be possible to deal with those gentry, celebrities, and dignitaries? Without their support, he would not have been popular for so many years.

Nowadays, no one is forcing him to learn opera anymore, forcing him to think that he is a "female girl", and there are so many children of the same age who study and play with him. Xiaodouzi is naturally getting happier and his psychological development is also getting better and better. The more sound.
