Yan Qi hadn't eaten in the school cafeteria for a long time, and after thinking about the sour dark food, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, and after school in the morning, he went to Zhiwei Zhai, and when he entered the door, he saw Yuan Chang standing next to a seat near the window and beckoning to her.

This is the first day of school, wearing a pine frost green suit, with cold gold threads at the corners of the collar and sleeves, standing there tall and straight, like a soaring pine, attracting many juniors and sisters to peek at him.

Yuan Chang ignored all of them, and just curled the corners of his lips slightly and watched Yan Qi walk in front of him.

"Have you already bought it?" Yan Qi glanced at the table and saw that there were four dishes on the table, "Then you eat first, and I'll go buy food." ”

"Sit here and eat. Yuan Chang used his chin a little, "It's your share." ”

"You're so polite. As he spoke, he sat down unceremoniously, picked up his chopsticks, and realized that these four dishes were not the dark dishes of Zhiwei Zhai, "Where did this dish come from?"

"Some can't eat, what to ask. Yuan Chang sat opposite her and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth first, so as not to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yan Qi put a chopstick into his mouth, and found that the dish was still very hot, and then looked at the appearance, it was obvious that it had just been fried-could it be that Zhiwei Zhai finally repented and was willing to change the cook?

No matter what, who is still in a hurry to masochize and worry about the unpalatable if there is something delicious. Yan Qi also reached out and grabbed a big white steamed bun, aiming at a piece of fragrant and juicy sweet and sour tenderloin, but was grabbed by Yuan Chang's horizontal chopsticks and snatched away, looking up at him blankly: "What about sincerity?"

Yuan Chang smiled with a steamed bun in his mouth.

Sweet and sour tenderloin, yellow stewed mutton, fried cabbage shreds in pepper oil, shredded vegetarian bamboo shoots, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, the color and flavor are enough, which provoked a strong look at the table next to him, and finally couldn't help it, and came over and asked: "Your dish is also made here?"

"It's not. Yuan Chang only replied with two words.

The man didn't ask anymore - since it wasn't made by Zhiweizhai, then he was psychologically balanced, otherwise he would still be the chef of Zhiweizhai who saw someone serving dishes. However, this Duoxin, when he left, couldn't help but go to the back kitchen of Zhiwei Zhai, pointed to the dishes on Yuan Chang Yanqi's table through the window and asked the chef: "What's going on with the dishes on their table?"

The head chef looked at it, recognized the dishes, pointed to the last stove in the row of long stoves in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Son, our stove has been wrapped by that master, and a few cooks will come from their house every day to cook for that master, which is not the same thing as us." ”

"How much silver does it cost to contract your stove?!" The man wanted to take out the silver ticket and slap the chef's face on the spot.

"Ahem, silver is a small thing...... the head chef smiled sheepishly.

"What's the matter, is it possible to build a stove and depend on the identity?!" This sneered, what kind of ability is it to suppress people with power? This is no different from taking it by force!

"No, no, no, it's not ......" The head chef hurriedly shook his hand, "I don't know what the identity of that young master's family is, it's just that the young master is willing to provide an exclusive food recipe to cover the stove......"

The reason why the food in the canteen of Fairview College is unsatisfactory is because the chefs who contracted the canteen are all poor relatives from the staff of the college, which can be regarded as a welfare policy given by Fairview to its employees, and at the same time can help the poor people to eat, which is why the quality of the food in the canteen is not good and no one complains to the college.

Therefore, providing exclusive food prescriptions is tantamount to opening up a way for these people who are not specialized in cooking, you know, exclusive food prescriptions are the same as medical prescriptions, which are cash cows that can be turned into wealth!

So can the head chef not take out this stove eye? If you can really outsource it with money, now this Zhiwei Zhai has long been occupied by these official children's own cooks - the academy has rules prohibiting these people from outsourcing the territory and facilities of the academy, but there are special circumstances, such as unless you can bring unique benefits to the academy, such as an out-of-print book, the only surviving calligraphy of a certain calligraphy, some unique secret recipes, exclusive stunts, and original works- Splendid Academy is not short of money, what is lacking is fame, no matter how big the fame is, it is not enough, and what is used to hype the fame to be hotter and more popular is the product of these rare or scarce wisdom and talents in the world.

Therefore, the food recipe provided by Yuan Chang agreed with the head chef to share it with Fairview Academy, and the head chef could cook according to it, but he was not allowed to spread the contents of the recipe, and was only allowed to sell the finished product within the college, and Fairview Academy also had the right to use the recipe and use it for profit or other purposes.

The head chef has this recipe, at least he can make an attractive dish, which can be called at a high price, and the more people come to eat, he will naturally be able to make more money, which is of course a good thing for him, and it has no effect on him to make a stove eye, so why not do it?

The person who wanted to take money to draw people couldn't help but be discouraged when he heard this, how can he have a unique food recipe so easily, and even if he has it, he can sell it for a thousand taels or even ten thousand taels of silver, and use it to wrap a stove eye? Is this person a raw melon and egg? Bad money is not so bad, what is he trying to do?!

Yan Qi didn't know that someone had contracted a stove in the school cafeteria to her, and after eating with Yuan Chang, she left Zhiwei Zhai and slowly walked to the mountain and stone scenic spot between Jinyuan and Xiuyuan.

The weather in midsummer is already very hot, especially at this time of noon, there are basically no people on campus, it is quiet all around, the wind does not blow, the leaves do not move, and the sun in the sky makes people lazy and sleepy.

Yuan Chang was in front, Yan Qi was behind, and gradually went deep into the mountain stone formation, and stopped under a flowering phoenix tree, the fiery red petals fell on the thick layer of the stone at the head, Yuan Chang took out a cloth bag from behind the stone, and took out a thick and soft cushion from the cloth bag.

"Sit on this. Yuan Chang placed the cushion on the flat stone under the tree, and sat on another stone next to him.

"Don't you pad?" Yan Qi walked over and sat down.

"I have such a girl?" Yuan Chang crossed his knees and motioned to her with his chin unsmiling, "Sit down." ”

Yan Qi also crossed his knees and sat down with his back straight.

"Tell me what you've learned, about internal strength. Yuan Chang said.

"Hold the god of the qi, the meaning of the breath, in the dantian like a melodious turn, gather but not disperse, then the hidden qi and the external qi intersect in the dantian, the sun is full of moons, up to the limbs, flow in the hundred veins, hit the spine pun and swim in the mud pill, spin down the palace and down the dantian. The spirits are together, they depend on each other, and the road of the river cart is open. "Yan Qidao.

"Your father has already taught you the method of practicing qi, now you will have a luck, I will put my palm on your vest to feel your qi, if I think your qi is not good enough, I will use qi to assist you in qi, now inform you in advance, so that you will not panic then." Yuan Chang said.

"Good. Yan Qi responded, so he got rid of distracting thoughts and adjusted his luck.

However, she has only been practicing for a long time, and how can there be any qi in her body, at best, she just imagines a qi flowing along the meridians with her mind. Just imagined that there was such a mass of qi generated in the dantian, before he walked out of the dantian gate, he felt that the vest was hot, and gently attached a big hand, and the palm of this hand suddenly slowly gushed out a stream of heat, penetrating her clothes, soaking into her skin, integrating into her blood, going along the meridians, first entering the dantian, gathering qi into the sea, and then from the dantian, going up against the pulse, through the perineum, along the spine through the tail, the spine and the jade pillow three passes, to the top of the head mud pill palace, take the two ears and cheeks to go down, will go to the tip of the tongue, connect with the Ren pulse, and return to the dantian along the middle of the chest and abdomen.

This is the first stage of internal strength cultivation, practicing refining qi, building a foundation in 100 days, and cultivating the acquired essence with innate vitality, which is called Xiao Zhoutian in the internal strength cultivation method. Every time you run for a small week, you can refine one point of qi, and if you insist on cultivating every day, after a period of time, your body will naturally produce essence qi.

However, this process of starting from scratch is the most difficult step, and many people practice for months without necessarily being able to develop a trace of qi, and even require several years of perseverance to show initial results.

Yan Zichen taught Yan Qi, naturally telling her how to practice by herself after practicing, but the qi that Yuan Chang injected into her was equivalent to teaching her hand-in-hand, using her own qi to drag her to run a small week, just to save her the time to spend months groping by herself, and directly told her how to go with this qi, and poured her true qi into her body, first putting a layer of qi in her poor body.

After the operation of the week, the two of them finished their work together, and Yan Qi said to Yuan Chang: "Don't be like this, how little confidence do you have in me?"

Although Yan Qi has only just started, Yan Zichen has already told her a lot about the theoretical knowledge of internal strength, like Yuan Chang Fangcai poured his own vitality into her, it was like taking bone marrow from his own body and transplanting it to her, although it can still be regenerated, but after all, it is also a great loss.

Yuan Chang said seriously: "When I was a child, my husband taught me to write, and I first held your hand to teach you how to walk the pen luck, and now I am doing this is also a reason - let me ask you, after this time, do you know what this qi feels like in the body?"

"Got it. Yan Qi nodded.

"Do you know how Xiao Zhoutian behaves?" asked Yuan Chang again.

"Got it. Yan Qi continued to nod.

"Okay, while this feeling has not disappeared, you can do it yourself for another three small weeks to consolidate it. Yuan Chang said.

"Good. Yan Qi re-entered, according to the order and feeling of Yuan Chang's "leading the way" just now, she was lucky, although Yuan Chang had injected some vitality into her, but after all, that qi was in her own body, if there was no guidance from him, she would need to practice if she wanted to use it at will, so now she can only rely on her imagination and the little feeling left just now to practice without qi.

Yuan Chang sat next to him and was lucky to travel for a few small weeks, which was already familiar to him, the speed was far faster than Yan Qi, and each line of a small week could regenerate a point of qi, although these few small Zhou Tiantian were far from being able to fill the vitality he had just entered, but they could also play a role in pranayama and calm down the sea of qi that had just been churned.

After finishing his breath, Yuan Chang took his work, opened his eyes and saw that Yan Qi was still in his meditation, so he didn't bother her, only supported his elbows on his knees and supported his cheeks, and then tilted his head and stared at her calm face without blinking, his eyes slid from the stretched eyebrows to An Ran's eyelashes, from the tip of his nose to the soft lips, and then it was difficult to move his gaze for half a minute, staring at the dry mouth, forcing himself to turn his head, trying to focus on the two insects stacked together on the grass tips in the distance.

Yuan Chang: "......" grass.

After Yan Qi finished practicing, Yuan Chang turned around and asked her, "How is it?"

"I've got a feeling. "Yan Qidao.

"Then practice according to this," Yuan Chang looked up at the sky, "Practice for half an hour first, the time doesn't have to be very long, otherwise you will be very tired, beginners can't nourish qi with qi, practice too much, it's all about consumption rather than replenishment, and practice for half an hour before going to bed at night, and get up in the morning." ”

"Okay Mr. Yuan. Yan Qi did as he said, and after half an hour, he felt a little tired, and this fatigue was not *, but mental fatigue.

"Take a break. Yuan Chang conjured a water bladder from behind the stone and handed it to Yan Qi.

"There's some treasure behind the stone, let it be revealed. Yan Qi took the water and said while drinking.

Yuan Chang turned over and fell behind the stone, then jumped out and said, "It's all here." ”

“…… Well, it's a big living treasure. Yan Qi looked at the big guy in front of him, this guy who matured too fast, some of the traits of his childhood have not yet had time to fade, and after all, he is still a big boy under the age of eighteen.

Yuan Chang sat back on the stone, crossed his knees and put his arms on his knees, and leaned forward to look at her: "Yan Xiaopang, how did you live every day before you were seven years old?"

What kind of strange problem is this, why is it before the age of seven? Yan Qi seriously recalled for a moment and said, "Eat, drink, and have fun. ”

"......" Yuan Chang said "I shouldn't ask" with a face, but he still asked again, "What can a seven-year-old little hairy girl eat and drink?!"

"You can eat anything, you forgot, I'm Yan 'Chubby'. "Yan Qidao.

Yuan Chang grinned, imagining the seven-year-old Yan Qi, who was fat into a ball, and felt a warm and soft ball in his heart, "Then what do you have fun doing every day?"

"My childhood was basically spent in the process of playing Yan Xiaojiu. "Yan Qidao.

"......" Yuan Chang paused, and Fang said, "It stands to reason that you will also follow your family to other people's houses for banquets, why have I never seen you when I was a child?"

Yan Qi spread his hands: "How to say it, when I was a child, I didn't like to socialize very much, so I usually only went to a few familiar houses, and strangers didn't go if they could." ”

Yuan Chang: "...... Seven or eight-year-old kids know what it means to socialize?!"

Yan Qi: "The world of children is also divided by people." ”

Yuan Chang: "That's right, you and Wu Yue, and the girl surnamed Lu met at that time, right?"

Yan Qi: "I met Ah Yue earlier, when I was four or five years old, and Xiao Lotus was a little later, that is, when I was six or seven years old." ”

Yuan Chang: "What about Cui Xi?"

Yan Qi: "It's also four or five years old." ”

Yuan Chang: "What do you have to do with him?"

Yan Qi: "He was raised as a girl by his family at that time, at first I thought he was a girl, looking soft and weak, he could fall ill if he was not careful, thinking that he had to make 'her' happy, and then he accompanied 'her' to pick flowers, flutter butterflies, and play at home......"

Yuan Chang: "...... Can you really have fun?"

Yan Qi: "Of course, you still need to be patient...... And when I felt that I really couldn't play anymore, Cui Xi suddenly said: 'To tell the truth, I have always been patient to play with you, if you still want to continue to play, forgive me for not being able to play anymore'...... So why are the two of us playing with each other so hard?"

Yuan Chang: "...... Hell knows. ”

Yan Qi: "Then we decided to play something of interest, so we made Cui Xi's eldest brother Cui Xuan's house into a secret room, but that day Cui Xuan just negotiated a big deal, and sold an antique to a merchant who ran the boat at three times the price, and the merchant took something and was about to go to the boat to leave, but unfortunately the antique happened to be in Cui Xuan's room...... Cui Xuan collapsed outside the door at that time. ”

Yuan Chang: "...... So what you're interested in is this? Make a secret room?"

Yan Qi: "Will you find the key point?" It's obviously a toss for Cui Xuan. ”

......Yuan Chang glared at Yan Qi, lowered his head and fiddled with the falling flowers on the phoenix wood in his hand, and said in a vague voice for a while, "You are good to Cui Xi, right?" ”

"We've grown up playing. "Yan Qi has its own fuzzy voice recognition function.

Yuan Chang was silent for a moment, threw away the flower in his hand that had been crushed by him, as if he had regained his spirits, raised his face and raised his chin at Yan Qiyi: "What about after the age of seven?

"Can you tell me why you want to use seven years old as the dividing line?" Yan Qi asked.

Yuan Chang smiled, with a bit of cunning: "Emphasize a certain age, you will pay special attention to it, and you will answer seriously, otherwise, if I only ask you in general terms what you did every day when you were a child, you will give me a general answer at most, do you think yourself?"

“…… Are you really Yuan Chang? It's not someone else impersonating, right?" Yan Qi searched in his eyes, "Hey, I saw you, don't hide, come out quickly!"

"......" Yuan Chang waved his hand angrily to block her sight, "Ask you, say it quickly!"

"It's still like this after the age of seven, girls' lives are different from boys, the door can't go out, the second door can't be reached, only when I'm older is allowed not to go out with the adults at home, before going to school, I can only contact people outside when I go out with my family, usually just eat and drink at home, read idle books and play Yan Xiaojiu. "Yan Qidao.

"So boring?" Yuan Chang raised his eyebrows.

"What do you think? Yan Qi spread his hands.

"What books do you read?" asked Yuan Chang.

"There are many travelogues, geographical chronicles and scripts. "Yan Qidao.

"I just got an out-of-print set of "Miscellaneous Notes of the Western Regions", which has text and pictures, and talks about the customs and anecdotes of the countries in the Western Regions, do you want to read it?"

"It's out of print, don't read it, I'm afraid it's broken, and I can't afford to sell it to your family as a slave for three lifetimes. Yan Qi shook his head.

"Look at your little cowardice! Don't worry, I asked people to copy it, and the picture was also copied according to the drawing, and it was re-ordered, and no one cared about you when you ate it. Yuan Chang said.

"How hungry am I to eat books...... Okay, then lend me a look. "Yan Qidao.

"Do you have any good books there that you can borrow from me?" asked Yuan Chang.

"My books are usually borrowed from the outside study, and I just finished reading "Daxia Daxia" recently, which is quite interesting, do you read it?" Yan Qidao.

“…… What a mess, the ears are full of chivalry. ”

"The protagonist's surname is Xia Mingxia. ”

"Okay, Ming'er brought it to me to see, what are you talking about?"

"Telling the story of Xia Daxia who was innocently framed and avenged for himself, the whole book is full of suspense, and you will never guess that the culprit is his best brother Dong Dongdong if you don't see it in the end. ”

“……………… Can I beat you Yan Xiaopang?!"

"I refuse this request. ”

Yan Qi, who spoiled other people's faces, went back to the embroidery courtyard to attend class refreshed, Yuan Chang packed up the cushions and water bladders, and stayed in place for a while before coming out of the stone mountain group, and then jumped to the highest peak, looked around, and saw that no one was haunting the neighborhood, so he put his mind at ease and quickly ran to the Jinyuan.

When I went back at night, before going to bed, Yan Qi ran Xiao Zhoutian for half an hour according to the law, and the other effects have not yet been seen, and I fell asleep quickly - because of mental fatigue, but the quality of sleep has also improved, I didn't have a dream, I didn't wake up once, and I slept directly until early in the morning.

Since then, Yan Qi's daily schedule has become more full, in the morning to wake up half an hour in advance for internal exercises, and then run and practice archery, practice internal skills for half an hour at noon, club activities in the afternoon, practice Yan Zichen's boxing and feet in the evening, practice archery, and practice internal skills for half an hour after going to bed.

At the time of the day, the splendid comprehensive martial arts team ushered in the fierce rival Lanting comprehensive martial arts team, and the splendid fruit discharged a lineup with archers in the majority according to Yuan Chang's words, Wu Ting changed to a soldier, and Yuan Chang and Xiao Chen all carried bows and arrows into battle, plus Yan Qike Wubitter two cannons and Li Ziqian, who was already a horse with bows and arrows as weapons, the six high-level archers almost instantly blew up the Lanting team, and it only took less than two quarters of an hour in the whole game, so that the outside world commented that the Splendid team in this game was "the second Liuyun team"- One of the top four in the traditional martial arts of the Liuyun team is the whole team is good at bows and arrows, except for the role that individual regulations do not allow the use of bows and arrows, the whole team is archers, this team is relying on these archers to beat a lot of opponents, has become a well-known signboard in the comprehensive martial arts world.

On the last day of the competition before the summer vacation, Jinxiu defeated the weak team Qingshan Academy without any suspense, and the ranking in the ranking of the points in this division also rushed to the top four, and the students of the whole college were preparing for various pre-vacation exams in the remaining days.

The whole month of June is a summer vacation, and it is also a carnival for students, who are traveling, indulging in pleasure, and making friends, and they have already made plans. At this time of year, the emperor also takes the ministers in Beijing to the imperial island on Qiandao Lake for summer office, and this year is no exception, each courtier can only bring two family members to the island, and Yuan Chang was also dragged to the island. Yan Zike brought the fourth young master and the fifth girl Yan this year, but Yan Zichen was not on the island - in this period of loose outside and tight inside, he wants to stay in Beijing.

The Yan family also wanted to take advantage of this season to go to the private island on Qiandao Lake to escape the heat, so they started to make a point early, Yan Zike followed the emperor on the front foot, and the Yan family also packed up and went to the island with their family, but it did not include Young Master Yan Jiu and Yan Qi.

Young Master Yan Jiu said that he wanted to stay at home in Jingzhong, because "he made an appointment with his classmates to study together, and there were club activities of the Jinshi Society", the old lady didn't care much about him, the boy can already have his own schedule at this age, and the father has come back again, and the father doesn't care much, the old lady is even more lazy to stretch out her hand, and all her thoughts are on Xiao Eleven and the unborn Xiao Twelve.

Yan Qi originally wanted to ask Wu Yue and Lu Rong to go to the island to play for a few days, but the Yan family went, and it was not very convenient for the two of her to live again, so she had to give up, and applied to the old lady to stay at home, the excuse was ready-made - to stay and take care of Xiao Jiu, the old lady nodded without much thought.

So for a while, only the two masters of the sister and brother were left in the huge Yan Mansion, and no one cared about them when they were rolling around at home.

Of course, Yan Qi is not going to roll around all over the place, at most, he will invite Wu Yue and Lu Lotus to come to the house for a small gathering, if he catches up with Young Master Yan Jiu and does not go out, he will also invite Cui Xi and Xiao Chen - Lord Xiao is also among the companions of Dengyu Island this year, but Xiao Chen did not accompany him, Yan Qi speculated that he had an appointment with Yan Xiaojiu, and the two of them wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to continue to investigate the matter of life experience.

The family has a small life at home, and the court also has major events in the court, no matter how busy the young master Yan Jiu is busy with private affairs, he will insist on reading the imperial court's newspaper every day, and the most concerned news in recent times is the war between the dynasty and Da Mo, it is said that the martial army arrived at the border and did not even breathe and slashed into the territory of Da Mo, of course, Da Mo has already prepared, the two sides fought more than ten times, Da Mo lost more than 10 times, and began to hang up the war-free card, but the army of the Tian Dynasty was outside, could not hold such a long truce, the martial army attacked the key points again, and Da Mo had to send envoys to ask for peace.

Of course, the Celestial Dynasty did not intend to really destroy the country, the Celestial Dynasty is not a small country, if you really want to continue to work with the other party, it is not a matter that can be concluded in more than ten years or even decades, so forcing the other party to negotiate peace is the ultimate goal, and since the Celestial Dynasty took the initiative to ask for peace, the dominant power is in the hands of the Celestial Dynasty, and it is the intention of the imperial court to take the opportunity to propose conditions to the Celestial Empire, so the imperial court agreed to negotiate peace, and came up with the conditions of a truce: You killed the children and grandchildren of our ministers of the Celestial Dynasty, this is not a trivial matter, you have to compensate, right? Do you know how many years the pain of losing your children will last? Do you know how long the brutal murder of our subjects will cause us psychological shadow? In this way, from this year onwards, you will send compensation to the Heavenly Dynasty every year until the psychological shadow of our country fades.

Here's how much you want to pay for, you can give it all gold and silver, jewelry, horses, and of course if you don't want to spend money, it's acceptable for us to cede the land.

How could Da Mo agree to this condition, so he began to bargain with the Heavenly Dynasty, and bargaining came and went.

And just when the government was focusing on the negotiations between the two countries, a major incident happened to the Yan family, who was vacationing on a private island for the summer-Mrs. Yan suddenly fell into a crazy disease, and actually stabbed Yan Zike's "concubine" Aunt Yang with scissors! 166 Reading Network
