Chapter 173: Li Rui's Mind

"There are several vital points in the human body, and the ones that can be touched and injured are none other than the temples, eyes, behind the ears, throat and lower body." Mama Hua didn't blush at all and said the part that made a few girls blush the most.

"The moves I taught you are all aimed at these key paths. Because it is for the old lady to nourish her body, the movements are all slow and stretched, but you are all young women, and when these movements are practiced, you might as well be faster and more powerful. Mama Hua stretched out her hand, put her index and middle fingers in a sword finger posture, and gently raised them forward.

"Let's start with the road."

Li Ming's children covered their mouths and hid outside the flower window, looking at Siyun and his mother in the yard, waving their arms behind Mama Hua.

Grandma was in a different pose on the other side, which looked like she was bowing to โ–กโ–ก, and like playing an invisible piano in mid-air, and although the posture was strange, it was extremely gentle, and it was not ugly to look at.

But his mother's side is really funny.

"Madame, when you poke your finger out, you have to think that grandma is going to gouge out someone's eyeballs. Therefore, although the movement is slow, it must be precise, and the whole arm must be stretched forward forcefully instead of the wrist. Mama Hua grabbed Fang's arm and gently pushed it down from her upper arm, letting Fang's whole person go out.

Fang's hands couldn't help but tremble when he heard "gouge out other people's eye beads", and when Mama Hua grabbed her upper arm and sent it forward, Fang couldn't help but beg: "Mama Hua, I really can't do this." Isn't there any way to calm down? I think the old lady's postures are quite good, so let's learn that. โ€

As soon as Fang's words came out, Si Yun hurriedly nodded.

They are also learning the technique of using their arms violently, but when they think that this finger is about to press the beads of a person's eye, the arm can't be sent away.

As soon as Mama Hua turned around, she saw that Gu Qing was doing a posture like looking up and bowing โ–กโ–ก, and said with an unfathomable expression: "Yo, do you want to learn that?" The tricks you learned Mrs. Tai have learned a few days ago, and now her trick is called 'Boy Worship Buddha', which looks like worshipping the Buddha, but in fact, it is a killing move that suddenly uses the strength of the whole body to suddenly exert force on the body, and pierces the throat of others with the tips of the fingers that are put together......"

As soon as Mama Hua's words came out, several girls turned pale and shook their bodies. Fang touched his throat and swallowed silently.

Mama Hua learned all the martial arts to protect her master, and they were hidden on weekdays, and most of the moves they used were inconspicuous. But even so, a sudden killing move is more lethal and dangerous than a killing move that others have already prepared.

Hua Mama slowed down her movements and decomposed, looking like she was dancing or punching, but in fact, she was familiar with the practice, and she knew how to deal with other people's key points, which was a killer weapon to save her life.

Gu Qing looked at the ugly faces of several women over there, and continued to play the piano proudly. It looks like playing the piano, but in fact, it is practicing how to do the most damage with your nails.

She wasn't scared at all, but she thought the tricks were cool.

It's simply a must-have self-defense skill for home travel, okay? Zero foundation and no secrets, they are all kinds of skills, and they are specially designed for women, although she has no internal strength and cannot play the greatest role, but as long as she knows a little bit, she will also benefit immensely.

Gu Qing has been baptized by various martial arts novels and movies and television, so naturally he has no resistance to these murderous and anti-human moves. But the Fang family grew up in the way of normal daughter's education since childhood, and Siyun was the son of the family, and since elementary school, he was how to serve people, and at this time, he said to them, "This trick is to dig out people's eye beads", "This trick is to poke the throat", "This trick is to lock the throat", so how can they not be frightened?

Fang's even more bitterly followed Mama Hua in his heart, and secretly congratulated himself that he had always been polite to Mama Hua and had not been rude. Otherwise, with such a big killing weapon in front of him, I don't know how someone sneaked to the bed and killed him in the middle of the night.

Among the four clouds, only Yanyun is more serious. Last time, she was cut by a gangster, and when she came back, she secretly hated that she didn't have any self-defense skills, so she could only use her arm to block the knife alive. In addition, she has some good feelings for Mr. Jiang, since she was injured, she received his medicine, and was booed and asked for warmth, and she had the idea of maybe marrying him.

But she was afraid that he would bully his daughter-in-law, and now that she has practiced some self-defense skills, if there is a case in the future, she will have some ways to deal with it.

Just one trick "press the eyeballs", a few people practiced sweaty, or they didn't learn to perfection. Fortunately, Mama Hua just obeyed Gu Qing's instructions to teach them to learn self-defense, as long as they knew the principle of the Tao, so that they would not panic when there was danger in the future, and did not train them according to the requirements of the "secret guard".

After seeing that their movements had been practiced very well, Mama Hua stretched out her thumb again, made a posture as if pulling the strings back, and suddenly pushed forward!

"This trick is called 'poisonous snake out of the hole'. There is a key point behind the ear, which is located where the earlobe meets the neck. It's extremely soft to the touch, and once you hit it violently, your brain will go blank at best, and you won't be able to faint at worst. Mama Hua gently touched the back of their ears and quietly let them know the location.

"Ahh

Xiangyun, who was held down, screamed miserably.

Li Ming, who was hiding behind the flower window, "hissed" and touched the back of his ear.

He quietly exerted his strength, and then almost didn't jump.

It's really numb! Mama Hua is very capable!

Gu Qing had already finished practicing the two newly learned tricks, and watched with a smile as Siyun and Fang's stretched out their arms and kicked their legs under the guidance of Mama Hua, how to exert their upper arms and how to exert their legs.

Just as she felt quite uncomfortable when she first learned, the shy and embarrassed expressions of these women were more obvious than hers. She actually didn't think that they could use it again to learn this, but now that the Xinguo Mansion is a strong enemy, she was assassinated even when she participated in a flower party, and it was hard to guarantee that one day she would not encounter any danger again.

She is now old, she is ready to let Siyun serve the two children in the future, and be a housekeeper for the two children, they can learn a little more, and the wives of the two children will have some security in the future.

The Fang family was grounded, and it was impossible for her to reappear in the social circle in a short period of time, but after a long time, she went to the queen to plead again, and maybe she could lift the ban.

After all, she is so old and sick, it is impossible for her to drag her old body to socialize all the time.

When you go out to socialize, you may encounter a dangerous time. People say that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and they will know how to have a few hands, and they will not panic in the future.

Gu Qing has thought more than anyone else since a serious illness. It's just that she has such good intentions, I don't know if a few people in Lu Dao can understand it.

Fang and Siyun followed Mama Hua every morning to learn her "Ten Tricks of Self-Defense". Gu Qing still regards the self-defense moves as Tai Chi, and he practices them in a good way.

Gradually, Fang Shi found that his stomach was disappearing day by day, and his body, which had felt tired after walking a long way, gradually became stronger, and only then did he realize that what the old lady said "can make your stomach disappear, and it is also good for the body" is not false at all.

She was grateful for the kindness of the old lady, and she became more and more filial to Gu Qing.

During this period, Li Rui came back once, and Li Ming secretly took his brother to watch them practice this "women's boxing" once. Unlike Li Ming's expression of envy and adoration, Li Rui only watched it once, so he was not interested in watching it again. In his words, "It's all about fists and legs, and it's still not good to see real knives and guns when you meet them." โ€

Li Rui and Qin Bin still have two hours of martial arts classes every afternoon, and they are all looking for battlefield veterans to learn the art of war and the skills of battlefield fighting. He is now using a three-foot sword and a six-foot bow, and he naturally disdains this move of stretching his arms and kicking his legs.

He didn't know that if this unsuspecting kung fu was matched with the corresponding internal force, he didn't know how many assassins had died. It's a pity that Fang Shi and the others are already too old, let alone practicing that internal skill, even if they want to practice the movements accurately, their bodies are not so soft.

Mama Hua has already made up her mind that she will teach her goddaughter kung fu in the future while she is not old enough to move, and I don't know whether Li Rui's kung fu will be stronger or Li Mei's moves will be more exquisite in the future.

As for Li Ming?

Let's round the bow first.

After another half a month, Li Jun, who went to Fenzhou on an errand, came back.

This time, he will stay in Beijing for a few more months to continue his studies, and when he returns to Fenzhou in late autumn, he will officially become an official in the newly opened city of Hu. I heard that Zuo Shaoqing over there appreciated him very much and personally appointed him to become the first batch of officials in Dutingyi.

The so-called first batch of officials, who are the chief officials who will establish their careers in the future, how can they not make the Xinguo Mansion overjoyed?

On the day Li Jun returned home, Li Mao specially greeted the ministry in advance, and would go home on that day to celebrate the return of his nephew.

He had also heard about the upward folding of Honglu Temple this time, and the idea of the imperial court to participate in the mutual market as a third party was the suggestion of his cousin. He never thought that his cousin and nephew of Mu Ne would also be a person with a splendid heart, this method on the one hand controlled the blind expansion of the Hu people, and won a fair reputation in the Quartet, which played a very key role in the next step of opening up the mutual market.

Therefore, it is not a big deal to say that people have shortcomings or deficiencies, as long as they are placed in the right place and the flaws are not hidden, they can always play a huge role.

The roots and seedlings of my old Li family are good!

Li Mao was overjoyed in his heart and boasted about his own planting, and on the other hand, he set up a reception banquet in the North Park with a spring breeze on his face, and let a few children in the family go to the banquet with the Fang family on the second day of Li Jun's return.

West Garden, in the courtyard where Li Jun lives.

Li Jun was holding a wristband, and although he said "so ugly", he couldn't help but take it out and look at it a few more times.

"Brother, did you use the silver I gave you later......" Li Zhao snapped open the door of his brother's room and entered the house with a huff.

Li Jun smiled bitterly and looked at his younger brother who rushed in, he has been like this since he was a child, and when he enters other people's rooms, he knows that he knocks politely, only when he enters his room is to push directly.

"Next time you knock on the door, you're not too young now...... Li Jun's voice was immediately interrupted by his brother's doubtful voice.

"Hey, what's in your hand? Is it long-lived? Why is it such an ugly color? Li Zhao looked curiously at the strap that Li Jun put back on his waist.

The longevity thread is a ribbon made of five-colored silk threads during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is used to avoid the rope of the five poisons. But the one in Li Jun's hand is gray, white and yellow mixed with various colors, which is much wider than the longevity wisp, so Li Zhao asked.

Li Jun didn't answer his brother's words, although he also felt that this wristband made of cow and sheepskin was ugly, but after all, it was the girl's heart, so it was too much to talk about how this wristband was not good in the back.

He took it all.

Anyway, why did he take it in a daze?

"What kind of baby, a specialty from Fenzhou?" Li Zhao didn't dwell on the belt for too long, just asked a little, and then asked him proudly: "Did you see the silver I brought you later?" Did it come in handy? Can your superiors boast that you can do things? โ€

Li Jun took out the money bag from the package, and he didn't use any money when he went out of Beijing this time.

It was later when he accompanied Douling to the market, she didn't give him the money he paid in advance.

He was embarrassed to ask her for it at first, but then he thought about it, his money was not rushed by the flood, not to mention that Douling was not without money, so why was he greedy for his cheap ten taels of silver, so he went to her to ask for it the day before she left.

As soon as he mentioned the events of the day of the bazaar, she put this wristband in his hand, saying that she was going to give it to him, and then she did not mention any money, turned around and ran, and hung him in the big tent.

This leather wristband, which is worth more than a dozen taels of silver, is afraid that there is only one in this world.

Li Jun secretly called bad luck in his heart, and felt that he should simply donate "money" for the country, and sacrifice once in order to make a good relationship between the two ethnic groups.

More than a dozen taels of silver, half a year's worth of his money!

Li Zhao saw that his brother stuffed the money back into his hand, and looked at him unhappily: "Why, you look down on me, and you don't even need my money?" โ€

Li Jun knew that his younger brother didn't have any bad intentions, but he wasn't kind to him, so he thanked him warmly: "It's not that I don't need your money, it's that I really don't have any place to spend money now." On the way, food and accommodation are all at the post station, there are few places to use money, and my savings on weekdays are enough. What's more, you don't know how many years Lu Dao will stay in Beijing, and some money is always good. โ€

Li Zhao and Li Jun pushed a few times, and Li Zhao also raised his liver fire, took the money in his hand, and said angrily: "You don't need to give you money, you are a fool!" Don't come to me when you're short of money, regret it! โ€

He felt that his kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the little pride he felt when he first came, and the careful thinking that he hoped that his brother would be grateful to him were all shattered, and he was even more unhappy about giving money than receiving money.

Li Jun saw that his younger brother ran away with the money, and he didn't know where he said the wrong thing. He thinks that he is speaking from the bottom of his heart, and he really has no reason to take the money that his mother gave to his younger brother. If the money was his own, he would have taken it, but the money was sent by his mother-in-law, and he spent it indiscriminately, maybe his mother-in-law would be angry.

I can only apologize to my little brother tomorrow, hoping that he will not be angry anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Rui, who had returned home from the palace, also came to visit Li Jun. He was more interested in the customs and customs of Fenzhou, and asked the people of the Suluk tribe who had come back all the way to see if they were okay, and he was very happy to hear that the Suluk people were now very valued among the Suluk people because most of them could speak Chinese, and he was also very happy that they had a good time.

It's just that before leaving, Li Rui inadvertently said that Li Zhao was very friendly with a county lord of Deyang's county lord's family, and let Li Jun worry about it. In his eyes, the county lord is a golden branch and jade leaf, the proud daughter of the sky, his younger brother is good friends with others, and if he is not careful, he may pull out the sword to slap the board, he is very worried about him, and wants to go back to talk to this younger brother, and persuade him to remember not to cross the place when interacting with the county lord.

I don't know how several old people in Jingnan's hometown taught their own children, and in the eyes of Li Jun and Li Zhao, they were full of awe for the heavenly family. Li Jun regarded the Heavenly Family as a flood beast, but Li Zhao thought that the emperor was as unattainable as the heavens and tomorrow.

At noon on the second day, Li Mao asked his family to set up wine and food in the banquet hall, and asked his subordinates to take his little daughter out, and the family sat around the table and ate this reunion dinner.

"Since Rui'er entered the palace and Li Jun also became an errand boy, it is rare for us to sit together and have a meal like this." Li Mao looked at the table that was rarely half full, and his heart was very ironing.

Although their family can't be full as soon as the banquet arrives like other people's families, it is much better than the scene of five people eating together at one table in previous years.

Since the last time Li Zhao came, this was the first time Fang had shared a table with a few children, and when she saw Li Rui sitting under her, her expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"That's your fate." Zhang Jing appeared behind her son and gently hugged his head. "When he grows up and becomes better, the world will remind you how stupid and vicious you were back then."

Fang Shi narrowed his eyebrows and didn't look at her.

She knew that she was just thinking of a way to force her to have a seizure when there were many people, so that she could sit on her reputation as a madman.

She wouldn't let her get her wish. She wants to live a good life to show her.

"Come on, let's all raise a glass together to celebrate the addition of another population to our family." Gu Qing happily picked up the wine glass, although there was only some rose dew in her glass, she was also very happy. "Today, although there are still three adults in our family, the number of children has changed from two to five. I think that in a few years, the big and small will all spread out, and this table will be filled! โ€

Li Rui and Li Jun's faces turned red. The biggest ones here are the two of them, and the little ones that grandmother said are them.

Li Ming and Li Zhao looked at the two brothers blushing slightly, and secretly buried their heads underneath and snickered.

Everyone drank the cup together, and Li Mao, as a parent, raised the cup again.

"This cup, I wish the children and grandchildren of the Li family can become talents. Although I, the prince of Xinguo, can only be said to be so-so, I am still willing to shelter you from the wind and rain, and send you to the high place with a smile! โ€

"Thank you, uncle/cousin/father!" Several children filled their wine glasses, accepted Li Mao's blessings, and drank all the wine in the cups.

When she arrived at Fang's, she held her wine glass, thought about it, but toasted Li Rui alone.

"Rui'er, there were many things wrong with my aunt in the past, which made you suffer a lot of grievances. My aunt felt guilty and didn't dare to ask you for forgiveness, but my aunt still wanted to toast you with a glass of wine and hope that you would become a good man who stood up to the sky. It was my aunt who used to be small-minded and stupid, and she only thought about the square inch of the house. Now my aunt must change her life and learn to be a good aunt and mother again. โ€

Fang Shi faced Li Rui head-on, held his wine glass, and went down first.

She is still breastfeeding, and there is rose dew in the cup, but no one cares about that.

Li Rui didn't expect his aunt to say this to him, standing on the table, at a loss.

What the hell is my aunt talking about? Is my aunt apologizing to me?

Even more dazed were Li Zhao and Li Jun. Li Jun came earlier, he experienced the exorcism of the goddess during the New Year, and then his aunt "recuperated" and did not appear in front of people for a few months, and he faintly felt that it was probably related to the exorcism of ghosts during the New Year. As for why the atmosphere became so weird later, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to ask.

When Li Zhao came, Fang's stomach was already very big, except for the meal that welcomed him, he rarely saw it later. On weekdays, the housekeepers are all grandmothers, although he is strange, but when he thinks that his aunt is pregnant, he doesn't think much about it.

Who doesn't have a scripture that is difficult to read? Isn't his mother also displeased with his father?

Fang Shi held his cup and looked at Li Rui with a blank face, and the hope in his heart dimmed little by little.

"Fang Wan, I have to admire your good methods, apologize to my son in front of everyone, if he doesn't drink that wine, he is not polite and narrow-minded. Even if he doesn't want to forgive you, he has to drink it. You are like this, you never think about other people's feelings, you are selfish, and you still vainly claim that you want to learn to be a good aunt, but you are just doing a show......" Zhang Jingyin's voice came again.

His words were heart-wrenching, and Fang's cup almost didn't hold it steady and fell.

I, I didn't think about it that much, I just thought that now everyone is here, and the family will talk about it well, and it will be better in the future. Fang's face turned pale, she came out to apologize now, thinking that her children were young, and she couldn't embarrass the three brothers and sisters in the future because of her, even if she lost face at the moment, if Li Rui could drink this glass of wine, it would always mean that he could understand her mind.

As for the "persecution" that Zhang Jing said, she didn't even think about it.

Gu Qing and Li Mao on the side looked at Fang and Li Rui nervously. None of them expected that the Fang Clan would apologize straightforwardly.

Gu Qing had always thought that Fang Clan and Li Rui would slowly return to a slightly more natural atmosphere, after all, the rift was not caused by a day or two, and it was definitely not something that could be repaired after a few meals. Li Mao called his wife to the banquet together, naturally hoping that the family could do well, not every time there are a few fewer people, although there are more than that, it is always a family, and it is a pity to lose anyone.

Li Rui looked at his aunt holding the empty cup and crumbling, and somehow, he thought of when his father died, his aunt hugged him crumblingly, and said in his ear, "Don't be sad, child, you still have grandparents and grandmothers, as well as your mother, and your uncles and aunts." โ€

Then his mother died, and she and her uncle hugged her, worried that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so she couldn't untie her clothes all night long, guarding him and not letting him run around.

Maybe everything has changed later, but it was the warmth that brought him at the beginning that sustained him through the most difficult time.

He can't let go of it yet, but he calmly watched from the sidelines, maybe he still did it.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Rui hesitantly raised his wine glass and threw himself up.

'For those who care about me and those I care about......

"If I believe it again, what's the matter?"
