After a day of playing, it's time to close your mind later. The purpose of deciding to come to Shuzhou Courtyard was not to play, but to practice hard.

No, Miss Li rarely got up early, had breakfast with everyone, and began to arrange tasks.

First of all, we have to grasp the progress of Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo's martial arts. In the opinion of the eldest lady, the progress of the two is a bit slow. She didn't want to think about what kind of people were around her, not only their qualifications were against the sky, but their training methods were also quite harsh, which was not comparable to the current Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo.

Seeing that the little witch was coming to train them again, Xiao Long and Xiao Shuo's hearts immediately tensed.

In addition to practicing martial arts, Xue Qing assigned them a new task - reading.

Xiaolong protested on the spot: "Xueqing, it's not that I don't want to, I'm really not that material." It's good that I can't read and write for so many years, and it's okay to practice martial arts......"

Xue Qing smiled: "Long Daxia, if one day, a peerless sword book is placed in front of you, but you don't know the words, what do you say?" ”

"Uh...... I can find someone to help me see it......" Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, and quickly found a reason.

"Oh? But Long Daxia, what if that person sees the profit and deliberately says it wrong, makes you go mad, and then swallows your sword spectrum? Xue Qing asked with a smile.

"Ah...... This...... This ......" the little dragon performed his trademark move - scratching his head.

Xiao Shuo didn't speak, and he also felt that Xiao Long should read some books.

Xia Hongying and Bingyan watched with interest, secretly smiling in their hearts. Xiaolong is usually used to being very aggressive, and although they sometimes feel that something is wrong, they can't say much for the sake of face. Xue Qing doesn't care so much, as long as she thinks it's right, there is a way to toss until the other party is obedient.

Once, he was tortured by Xue Qing so badly, Xiao Long couldn't help but call out "Little Witch", Xiao Shuo hurriedly covered his mouth: "Be quiet, if Xue Qing hears it, you will be even more miserable!" Xiaolong immediately shut up obediently and didn't dare to mention it again.

In fact, his whining words were heard by several other people. It's just that they still don't understand Xue Qing, so the eldest lady is not so stingy. She doesn't care what others say about her, she only does what she thinks is right, and only cares about Bingyan's opinion.

"Ah, I can ask Xiao Shuo to help me see it," Xiao Long thought of a new reason, "Xiao Shuo won't harm my ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Qing: "Then why do you ask Xiao Shuo to stay with you forever, and he doesn't want to marry a wife and have children?" ”

"Ah...... I...... I ......" Xiaolong wrapped his fingers around, still holding back the reason.

The eldest lady was impatient, and shouted directly: "What am I, honestly read and read for me!" ”

"Oh, okay." The little dragon hung his head, and said weakly.

"Xiaoshuo, your basic literacy is no problem."

"Well, I've been eavesdropping outside the private school for a few years before......"

"But ......," the eldest lady began to make demands again, "due to your physique, your martial arts development is not as good as that of Xiaolong, so you have to learn to outwit." In addition to literacy, you also need to learn some strategies that can save lives when it matters. In addition, you will have to follow the red cherry blossoms in the future, and it is also necessary to learn more strategies. I'm sure Sakura has enough books for you to read. ”

"Yes!" Xia Hongying did not shirk the name, "I can also ask for a gentleman for you." Of course, Xia Hongying is willing to cultivate Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo, and at the same time sighs secretly, it seems that her identity, this girl has already guessed eight or nine.

"Good! Red Sakura, then I'm sorry for you. Xiao Shuo felt that Xue Qing was very reasonable, and happily accepted such an arrangement.

"No trouble." Xia Hongying smiled, "Of course I hope my brother can become more powerful. ”

"Okay, that's it. From today onwards, you will study in the morning, practice martial arts in the afternoon, and I will check your homework in the evening. If not, then I will have to teach you myself. Xue Qing smiled.

"Haha, Xueqing, don't worry, we will study and practice martial arts hard!" Xiaolong hurriedly patted his chest and reassured. Since there is no way to change it, then accept it. Besides, in order not to let the little witch teach herself, he has to work hard!

After arranging Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo, Xueqing glanced at Bingyan. Ice Flame immediately understood that it was his turn to arrange next. He must happily accept his daughter-in-law's arrangement, and his daughter-in-law is wholeheartedly good for him. So Bingyan looked back with a smile, saying that he understood, and was ready to be sent at any time.

For Bingyan's self-consciousness, Xue Qing is very satisfied. So she asked again: "Red Sakura, do you have a pure place here where you can concentrate on martial arts?" ”

Xia Hongying thought for a while and said, "You can find a place in your own yard or go to the back mountain." ”

"Good!" Xue Qing picked up Yaoqin and stood up, "Let's go." ”

Bingyan followed, took the Yaoqin in her hand, and helped her hold it.

Alas, seeing the two of them in and out of pairs, Xia Hongying sighed in her heart, turned her head to Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo and said, "You go back to your yard first, and I will arrange for Mr. to come over later." ”

Bing Yan and Xue Qing found a small valley in the back mountain, which was very much in line with Xue Qing's wishes, and they were even more satisfied that there was a clean and smooth stone in the valley. Xue Qing was about to sit down, but was stopped by Ice Flame.

Ice Flame untied his cloak, folded it, and laid it on the stone. Xue Qing sat on it with a smile, crossed her legs, and placed the piano on her lap.

"Brother Bingyan, I'll play a song for you first, you close your eyes and listen carefully, and then you follow your feelings."

Bingyan nodded and closed his eyes.

The sound of the piano sounded, like a melodious turn, like a pond falling; The flow is soothing, like the wind pouring into the clouds. The ice flame felt it carefully, as if it was in an ethereal realm, except for the sound of the piano, there was no debris.

The sound of the piano gradually changed, and suddenly, Ice Flame opened his eyes, drew his Wind Slashing Sword, jumped to the middle of the valley, and danced. Vigorous and neat, flowing water, in one go. After the dance, Bingyan stood still, closing his eyes again and reminiscing about the feeling just now, and the sound of the piano stopped just in time.

Xue Qing sat there, looking at him with a smile. Originally, she was going to directly point out the shortcomings of the Ice Flame Sword Technique, but she bought this piano yesterday, and she came up with this method, and it seems that the effect is better than expected. 139

Ice Flame opened his eyes and walked towards Xue Qing with satisfaction. After a set of swordsmanship just now, he felt unprecedentedly smooth, as if he had entered a new state.

"How?" Xue Qing looked at him and asked with a smile. Beads of sweat were faintly glistening on her forehead.

"Good." Bingyan wiped her sweat with her sleeve, "It's hard for you." She has always been afraid of the cold, but she is sweating in this weather, which shows how much effort she has put into it.

Xue Qing looked at him and smiled sweetly: "I'm hungry." ”

"Okay, let's go back." Bingyan took Yaoqin and pulled her to her feet.

Xue Qing jumped off the stone and picked up the cloak to help him put it on and tie it. The two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand.

The days passed, and during this time, Xue Qing stared at Xiao Long and Xiao Shuo's martial arts and homework, while helping Bing Yan slowly adjust the Wind Chopping Sword Technique, busy and fulfilling.

During this period, Jin Xueyan came twice, and Xueqing also found time to go shopping with her, and tactfully told her that she had been a little busy recently.

The people of Qinghui Yuan began to sacrifice the stove and clean it, and it turned out that it had reached the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and the flavor of the year was getting stronger and stronger.

"Qiao Anping, have you thought about it?" In Yuejiang Building, Jin Hongwen asked solemnly.

Qiao Anping affirmed: "After thinking about it, I will stay alone." ”

"Qiao Anping, don't be stupid!" Lan Xuyao also persuaded, "Come back with us." ”

"Yes! Qiao Anping, you have been guarding outside the Qinghui Garden for the past few days, what are you trying to do? Luo Hengyuan didn't understand.

"Stop trying to persuade me." Qiao Anping smiled bitterly, "If it is empty this time, it will make me die in the future, and it is okay." ”

Jin Xueyan also wanted to persuade her, but when she saw him like this, she stopped persuading. I don't think I'm also looking at that ethereal thing. She tried to ask her sister several times, but she only said that the person was dangerous. But, even in spite of the danger, she wanted to see the man again. Therefore, she now understands Qiao Anping's mood very well.

"That's it." Jin Hongwen no longer persuaded him, "Let's go to them and say goodbye." ”

Qiao Anping hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go too!" ”

For the arrival of Jin Hongwen and others, Xia Hongying was warmly welcomed. Aside from Qiao Anping's resentful little eyes, as well as the eye battles between him and Bing Yan from time to time, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

Seeing off Jin Hongwen and the others, Xue Qing suddenly thought of something and ran back to the room alone. A quarter of an hour later, she ran out again, found Xia Hongying and Bingyan and said, "I thought that there was something I forgot to give to Snow Goose, so I'll just come when I go." ”

Bingyan hurriedly said, "I'll accompany you." ”

"No need," Xue Qing refused with a smile, "I still have some whispers to her." ”

"Okay, then you can come back early." Although Bingyan was reluctant, he knew that this girl was very stubborn and couldn't be reluctant, so he had to take care of her, "Put on your cloak, don't catch a cold." ”

"Hmm!" Xue Qing said and ran out quickly.

Xue Qing turned around and came to a dilapidated courtyard. After carefully observing the gate, he learned to call three turtledoves, and then flew inside.

"Why are you here?" There were already people waiting for her in the courtyard.

"I'll bring you something to eat." Xue Qing walked into the room, opened the package on the table, and took out some oiled paper packets.

"You still have a conscience." Yin Wang saw that Xue Qing brought all the dishes he liked, and sat down to eat.

"Thank you for your hard work, I live in a big yard, eat and drink well, but you stay in this kind of place." Xue Qing couldn't bear to say.

Yin Wang said coldly: "Didn't Senior Brother come here like this before, and he went to Qionglong Snow Mountain for you." He treats you like this, but you ......" Thinking that it was inappropriate, Yin Wang stopped the words behind.

Xue Qing didn't answer his words, and changed the topic: "Yin Wang, it's almost the New Year, you go back, don't stay here." You can see it too, I'm fine now. This is Xia Hongying's territory, there will be no danger, and there is no need for special personnel to protect it. We'll stay here for a few months, and when it's time for the Sword Trial, we'll head straight to Ten Thousand Swords Villa. ”

"Do you want to kill me?" Yin Wang didn't have a good breath and said, "If you really don't want to go, go back with me." ”

"Yin Wang, I really don't want to go. I have a partner with me in Qinghui Garden, but you are only one person. But I'm not going back with you. Xue Qing said and took out a letter to Yin Wang, "This is a letter I wrote to my father, he won't blame you if he reads it." You take it and go back to accompany your father for the New Year. ”

Yin Wang pinched the letter, thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay!" Then he put the dish away, and in a blink of an eye, it was gone.

Xue Qing watched him leave, and after erasing the secret mark of the courtyard gate, she also returned to Qinghui Garden.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people of Qinghui Garden had already arranged to burn the stove in the flower hall and prepare various refreshments for the host and guest to celebrate the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Xia Hongying was also very open-minded, giving people a big red envelope, enjoying wine and food, and letting them move on their own. Only a few people were left to sit in the next room of the flower hall to keep watch for the master to summon. For these people, Xia Hongying sealed another red envelope.

A few people talked and laughed, but they were not sleepy, until the time of the child. Xia Hongying stood up, put on her cloak, and took the lead out of the room, leading everyone to a spacious courtyard. The next people brought in the fireworks, one by one.

With a "bang", a firework exploded in front of everyone's eyes, and then, one after another, it soared and bloomed in the night sky, colorful and dazzling.

Not to mention Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo, Xue Qing was also very excited, she had never seen the fireworks so closely. She held Bingyan's hand tightly and stared intently at the brilliant flower.
