Chapter 920: Below Dusk, Deep in the Courtyard
In an instant, Han Jiaren was pulled behind his back by Jin Jingcheng, Jin Jingcheng's keen eyes were fixed on the two bodyguards, and his right hand clenched his fist. www.biquge.info At this moment, Jin Jingcheng was actually not nervous, although he felt that the other two were like soldiers, like special soldiers, and most of them were very good, but with Jin Jingcheng's skills, he would not be afraid.
Jin Jingcheng felt bored, thinking that when he was in South Korea, he was always accompanied by two powerful close bodyguards, and now when he arrived at the Tang Martial Arts Hall in New York's Chinatown, he was intercepted by two bodyguards.
Jin Jingcheng seems to have not experienced this kind of taste for a long time, and the most impressive time in his memory is when he attended Zhang Shilin's birthday party in 2004, and was intercepted by snobbish bodyguards at the door of the house-of-jazz.
Jin Jingcheng only hopes that he will not encounter that kind of shame this time, after all, the woman who follows Han Jiaren by her side, in front of women, especially in front of her most beloved woman, even Jin Jingcheng will love face extraordinarily.
Thankfully, nothing bad happened.
When Jin Jingcheng stared at the two bodyguards, the two bodyguards were also looking at Jin Jingcheng carefully.
After the two bodyguards confirmed something, they glanced at each other and conveyed a certain message with their eyes, and then, the two bodyguards suddenly bowed respectfully to Jin Jingcheng together, and then they turned around and walked away, and walked back to the two corners on both sides of the courtyard gate to silently guard.
Jin Jingcheng was even more surprised, and thought to himself, "Could it be that these two people know me?" But I obviously haven't seen them. ”
Jin Jingcheng suddenly felt that these two bodyguards were a little mysterious.
Han Jiaren was even more surprised, and asked Jin Jingcheng in surprise: "Are they the bodyguards you arranged?"
Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "No, if it was my bodyguard, why was I so small just now?"
Han Jiaren nodded, thinking that Jin Jingcheng subconsciously pulled her behind her to protect her just now, and felt a feeling of emotion in her heart, but Han Jiaren was not surprised by this, whenever she encountered such a dangerous moment, as long as Jin Jingcheng was by her side, she would definitely protect her, even if it was to put himself in danger, this was also what Han Jiaren loved Jin Jingcheng very much.
Han Jiaren said: "But, I see that they respect you very much, and they even bow to you, do you know them?"
Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "I don't know, and I feel strange." ”
Han Jiaren nodded again, and couldn't help but ask, "That...... Are they your master's bodyguards?"
Jin Jingcheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be, my master doesn't have this habit." ”
Han Jiaren said: "But ......"
Jin Jingcheng rubbed Han Jiaren's tied hair, smiled and said: "Okay, don't think about it, those two bodyguards have no ill will towards us, well, even if there is malice, this is my master's martial arts hall, not to mention two bodyguards, even if it is twenty bodyguards, my master and my group of senior brothers and disciples can settle down." ”
Han Jiaren nodded obediently, but said, "I was already very nervous, but now it's good, it makes me even more nervous." ”
Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "No matter how nervous you are, I am here." ”
Han Jiaren let out a "hmm" and subconsciously stretched out his hand, Jin Jingcheng understood and took one of Han Jiaren's hands.
In this way, Jin Jingcheng took Han Jiaren by the hand, habitually gently pushed open the courtyard door of the martial arts hall, and habitually gently half-covered the courtyard door from the inside, and then took Han Jiaren into the classical Chinese courtyard.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact, this courtyard is not very large, if it is placed in China, it is roughly equivalent to the area of two peasant families in the countryside, but in Chinatown in New York City, this courtyard is already relatively luxurious.
Jin Jingcheng has thought more than once that if this courtyard is to be sold, it is better to auction it, because it not only occupies a large area in a very expensive area, but also a Chinese classical courtyard of some years, once auctioned, it will definitely be able to fetch a very high price, at least more than 5 million US dollars.
Of course, Jin Jingcheng was just thinking about it quietly in his heart, he wouldn't tell Master Tang about this, otherwise, he would probably be criticized by Master Tang, and Master Tang would not easily auction off this martial arts hall.
Jin Jingcheng was curious, why did Master Tang have such a martial arts gym in New York's Chinatown? After all, the times are different now, even if Master Tang is a master of kung fu, not many people will spend money to practice martial arts now, not to mention that Jin Jingcheng knows that Master Tang is very strict in accepting apprentices, if he doesn't like it, even if the other party pays more money, he can't be his apprentice.
The courtyard seems a little mocking, but under the rendering of the last afterglow of dusk, it highlights a kind of Chinese classical beauty.
Jin Jingcheng clearly remembers that when he walked into this courtyard for the first time after he was reborn in 2003, there were several people wearing practice clothes practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
And now, because it was already evening and it was getting dark, Master Tang's apprentices did not practice martial arts, but stood in a corner of the courtyard, resting and talking, but they were still wearing practice clothes.
When Jin Jingcheng came for the first time in 2003, the apprentices of Master Tang in this martial arts hall were all Jin Jingcheng's senior brothers, and now, there are not only senior brothers, but also two more junior brothers, these two junior brothers are newly accepted by Master Tang in the last three years, and only two new apprentices have been accepted in three years, which shows that Master Tang is really strict in accepting apprentices.
Standing in a corner of the courtyard, several senior brothers in practice clothes looked at Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren, and after recognizing Jin Jingcheng, they all smiled at Jin Jingcheng, and Jin Jingcheng also smiled back.
Han Jiaren felt novel, whether it was this classical Chinese courtyard or those few people wearing practice clothes, it made her feel like she had stepped into another world all of a sudden, in stark contrast to the bustling and noisy city of New York outside.
This feeling of novelty invisibly weakened Han Jiaren's nervousness.
Jin Jingcheng took Han Jiaren by the hand and walked towards the depths of the courtyard.
There was a dwelling in the depths of the courtyard, and there were three figures in front of the dwelling.
One was a gray-haired old man, in his seventies, sitting alone on a small bench in the corner of the corridor, with a small wooden table in front of him, on which were three home-cooked dishes and a bottle of liquor, and the old man was eating and drinking alone. Undoubtedly, he is the old maid in the martial arts hall, Old Man Ji.
Interestingly, although Old Man Ji was eating and tasting wine alone at this time, there was a large pair of scissors on the ground next to the small bench he was sitting on. However, Jin Jingcheng was no longer surprised, he clearly remembered that when he came to this martial arts hall for the first time after his rebirth, Old Man Ji took a big pair of scissors to prune flowers and plants in a small flower pond, and later every time Jin Jingcheng came to visit Master Tang, he would see Old Man Ji, no matter what Old Man Ji was doing, he always kept the big scissors by his side.
In addition to Old Man Ji, there are two figures in front of the residence.
The two men were crouching together on the stone threshold of the main entrance of the house, chatting with each other.
One of them was a middle-aged man with a gentle face, who was none other than Master Tang.
The other is also a middle-aged man, Jin Jingcheng doesn't know, who is he? )
