Winter nights are always cold and long.

Before dawn, Xiao Yuchen left the Yunjian Marquis Mansion and headed towards the Princess Mansion.

Although his clothes had been thickened and the wind and snow were much lighter, he could still feel the coldness in the air, and the chill penetrated into his neck, making him sober up for a few minutes.

"Knock knock!"

After walking for a long time, Xiao Yuchen finally knocked on the door of the princess's mansion. There was a clearer and clearer footsteps from inside the door, and then, with a few bangs, it seemed that the door latch had been removed, and then, Huo's suddenly, the door of the mansion opened inward, and the two sleepy-eyed subordinates stared at Xiao Yuchen sleepily, and after looking for a long time, they recognized that it was the gardener who pruned the plum garden arranged by the princess.

"Let's go inside. The subordinates yawned and made way for Xiao Yuchen, and when Xiao Yuchen walked in, the two subordinates closed the door of the mansion again, leaning against the door and squinting their eyes.

Xiao Yuchen went to the plum garden with his memory, and looked at the hundreds of white plums standing quietly, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

He picked up the pruning shears at the gate of the plum orchard and shook them lightly in his hand, which still had a little weight. Then, I found a plum tree and followed the memories in my mind to brush and prune the plum branches that were not of proportional length.

......

In a fragrant private room, Zi Liangyun woke up slowly, rubbed her eyes, put on a thick robe, went to fetch some water, and after coming back and washing up, she dressed up in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and went out happily.

Looking at the closed door of the mansion, Zi Liangyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "He hasn't come yet?"

"Just wait for him for a while. ”

Zi Liangyun found a stone table, sat down on the stone chair next to the table, supported her chin with her hands, looked at the door of the mansion, looked at it, sleepiness swept over, but she fell asleep again.

Xiao Yuchen had cut the plum garden in the east, then grabbed the pruning shears and walked towards the plum garden in the west.

Xiao Yuchen glanced around, except for the two sleeping doormen, there was no one, quietly took down a cold leaf, and walked towards Zi Liangyun with a smile.

......

"Huo"

At dawn, the door of the house opened, and the sound woke up the purple cool rhyme that was in the middle of a sweet dream, she raised her head, and was about to stretch, but suddenly her expression stiffened, and there was a cold feeling around her neck, as if something had fallen into it and slid down her back. A chill made her shiver.

She immediately found an empty room and went in, reached out and touched her clothes, and grabbed a leaf!

Zi Liangyun frowned, did she accidentally float here when she was asleep?

Puzzled, she had no choice but to give up, and immediately walked out of the room and went to the two doormen, who hurriedly greeted each other.

"Purple-sama. ”

I saw Zi Liangyun wave her hand and asked, "Is Xiao Yuchen here?"

The two guards looked at each other and scratched their heads, not knowing why.

"It's the gardener. Zi Liangyun forgot that these two people didn't know Xiao Yuchen's name at all, so she added another sentence.

"Oh!" the two guards reacted, and one of them recalled, "the gardener has been here since the beginning of the day." ”

"What? Yin Shi Chu came!" Zi Liangyun exclaimed, didn't she come before she got up......?

"It's broken, no one has taught him how to cut it!

She immediately hurried towards the plum garden to the east, but when she arrived at the plum garden a moment later, she was stunned by the scene before her.

The length of the branches of each plum tree is distinct, or progressive, or convergent, and the white plum on the plum branch is set off just right, gently swaying with the wind.

If it weren't for the scent of flowers in the air, she would have mistakenly thought that she had strayed into a wonderful picture.

"This ...... Did he really cut it?" Zi Liangyun's beautiful eyes vibrated and muttered in disbelief.

She searched around the garden, but did not find Xiao Yuchen.

"The south and north sides are far away, and he should go and cut the plum orchard in the west. After a moment's thought, she hurried to the west of the mansion.

After a while, she stared blankly at the plum garden in the west, which was different from the dense plum garden in the east, where the white plum trees were three as one, and the plum branches were staggered, setting off each other, and the whole garden was divided into countless magnificent scenery.

In the depths of this garden, Xiao Yuchen was wearing a slightly thick single coat, holding pruning shears and carefully pruning plum branches, and from time to time plum branches and petals fell.

Zi Liangyun approached and stared at Xiao Yuchen's figure, but in an hour, Xiao Yuchen actually pruned the two gardens to seven, eight or eight? No, it should be said that it is the most perfect.

"You've studied gardening?"

Zi Liangyun stood aside and couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Yuchen. Xiao Yuchen froze, glanced at Zi Liangyun in a blink of an eye, then turned around and continued to prune, and asked casually, "Woke up?"

Zi Liangyun nodded, suddenly, she looked stunned, raised her head and stared at Xiao Yuchen suspiciously, "You see me asleep?"

"Yes......" Xiao Yuchen regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, and when he looked at it again, he saw Zi Liangyun's pretty face cold, and his eyes were full of anger.

Almost no need to ask, the leaf on her neck must have been Xiao Yuchen's good thing!

"Xiao Yuchen, you're too much!" Zi Liangyun gritted his silver teeth, stomped his feet, and glared at Xiao Yuchen angrily, "I blew the cold wind for half a day in vain!"

"Excessive?" Xiao Yuchen raised his eyebrows, he pointed to himself, and then pointed to the plum garden, and asked rhetorically: "My body has not fully recovered, but I don't know who asked me to be this tired gardener? Moreover, I have to prune nearly 10,000 plum trees? Moreover, I will wear this one, who do you say is colder?"

Zi Liangyun glanced at Xiao Yuchen's clothes, which were thin, even if they had some thickness, they would definitely not be able to withstand the cold wind in winter.

She turned her face away, her cheeks flushing slightly. It's really not her fault, but this method was proposed by her, and in Xiao Yuchen's eyes, the culprit is her.

"You know you're ashamed?" Xiao Yuchen laughed, turned around and continued to prune another plum tree.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yuchen's turn, Zi Liangyun kicked and hit the air for a while, as if he took the air for Xiao Yuchen.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuchen looked at the purple cool rhyme dancing without warning, and was confused.

Zi Liangyun coughed dryly, "It's nothing...... By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen's eyes flickered slightly, and the movements in his hands stopped, and he said with a smile: "Gardening? ”

After speaking, he took down the pruning shears, and with a click, a plum branch broke off in response.

"That's nice...... You still have a mother. Zi Liangyun pouted, but she was saddened by this sentence.

"You ......" Xiao Yuchen was stunned.

"By the way, the way I fall asleep should be funny......" Zi Liangyun barely squeezed out a smile and opened the subject.

"That's not it, I slept soundly. Xiao Yuchen smiled slightly, and when Zi Liangyun's face was good, he couldn't help but add another sentence, "It's that snoring completely destroys the beauty." ”

Zi Liangyun's face sank suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't snore!"

"Huh...... Not necessarily. ”

Xiao Yuchen looked at the purple cool rhyme of stomping his feet, turned around happily, and walked towards the outside of the plum garden.

"Where are you going?" Zi Liangyun suppressed her anger and looked at his back in confusion.

Xiao Yuchen replied as he walked: "I'll go to the plum garden in the north." ”

As he spoke, he walked away.

Zi Liangyun looked at the side in a daze, Xiao Yuchen had already finished pruning, and now, it was only the end of the hour, and in two hours, he had actually finished cutting the two plum gardens.

"So diligent?"

Zi Liangyun sighed and walked towards the plum garden to the north.

Three hours later, Xiao Yuchen walked out of the plum garden in the south, and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.

"The plum garden in the south is really big. Xiao Yuchen threw the pruning shears at the gate of the garden and walked out, followed by Zi Liangyun behind him.

"That's right. Xiao Yuchen paused, turned his face sideways and asked, "Why do you princesses like plum blossoms so much?"

Zi Liangyun was slightly stunned, bowed her head and said: "After the princess was born, the thirteenth concubine died of a serious illness, and the princess can only understand her mother's appearance by virtue of her portrait." ”

She paused, turned around, looked at the plum garden, and sighed slightly, "The princess heard that the thirteenth concubine likes plum blossoms very much, so she planted plum blossoms all over the mansion, she felt that this was like staying in the arms of the concubine, and she could get a trace of warmth." ”

Xiao Yuchen's pupils shrank, the thirteenth princess had such an experience, and it was the first time he knew about it.

"Alright, I'm leaving. ”

Xiao Yuchen clapped his hands, said hello, and walked in the direction of the mansion gate.

......

Afternoon.

Yunjian Marquis Mansion, Chen Yundrunk has been waiting for a long time, on the ground in the lobby, there are eight buckets of water, two bamboo poles, and two water tanks.

After Xiao Yuchen returned to the Hou Mansion, he went directly to the lobby, and after opening the door, he found the bucket on the ground, and couldn't help but look up at Chen Yundrunk.

"I said, today, I want you to feel how to inhale and how to exhale. This is the way to breathe. ”

"Pick up these buckets on your own. ”

Xiao Yuchen nodded, according to Chen Yun's drunken meaning, he isolated the true qi in his body, and passed through eight buckets of water, he squatted there, carrying the burden on his shoulders, and then exerted a little force, the eight buckets of water left the ground, and the water in the bucket continued to rise and fall, splashing on the ground from time to time.

Chen Yunzui raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't grit your teeth, don't hold your breath, don't block the circulation of qi in your body!"

But...... That's easier said than done!

When people exert force, they will subconsciously hold their breath, and the next moment they clench their teeth, but Chen Yundrunk taught him not to block the flow of qi.

He opened his mouth slightly, and was about to exhale out, when in an instant, the strength of his whole body collapsed, and the flat pole pressed him to a close stand, and the bucket shook violently, falling out of large water stains.

At this moment, Xiao Yuchen's eyes swept over the two water tanks, and he finally knew what these two water tanks were going to do.

"Fill it with water and come back until you can take three gentle breaths in a row. ”

These weights were all measured by Chen Yunzui for Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuchen filled up the water, although the scarred wound on his body was faintly painful, but he still picked up the flat burden without hesitation.

"Master leads the way in, and cultivation depends on the individual. Chen Yunzui stared at Xiao Yuchen, "Don't be locked in the bottom of the well by what I say, close your eyes, feel it yourself, and feel the flow of qi." ”

Xiao Yuchen closed his eyes, and the green tendons on his forehead were still exposed, like a small cyan snake.

"Gas...... What is gas ......"

He was pondering, he tried to exhale again as he had done before, and in an instant, his body shook, and there was a few clangs, and the bucket fell down, and he fell to the ground.

"I'm just exhaling, not inhaling. ”

Xiao Yuchen looked at the water flowing towards him on the ground, some of them spread to other places, and some of them stopped in place to form a beach......

His eyes suddenly certain, and a wave of realization suddenly rose!

"Flow!"

Xiao Yuchen immediately got up and filled all the buckets with water, and then, instead of picking up eight buckets, he only picked up two of them, then stood up straight and closed his eyes.

"No, it's too light. ”

He shook his head, breathing freely, without any pressure, and then added two more buckets, and by this time, when it was a little heavier, his breathing gradually became rapid.

At this time, he had already begun to grit his teeth unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, if he was not mistaken, next, it should be like this-

I saw Xiao Yuchen close his eyes, his body began to squat up and down, when he squatted, the airflow slowly spit out from his slightly open lips, and when he stood up, the airflow was sucked into his mouth, and he didn't close his lips from beginning to end.

"That's how it feels...... The feeling of gas flowing!"

Xiao Yuchen was happy in his heart, Chen Yundrunk only asked him not to block the circulation of gas, but did not let him simply exhale.

Since he wants to teach himself the method of vomiting, then there should be vomiting and acceptance, and he doesn't need to follow Chen Yunzui's final request from the beginning.

He should first learn how to breathe most simply.

As soon as he thought of this, his mind was clear, and his squatting speed gradually increased, the water in the bucket kept rising and falling, and the water beach under his feet disappeared little by little.

Chen Yun's drunken eyes showed relief, what is a teachable child? That's it.
