Chapter 3: Ordinary Days
The next day, Xinjie got up early to meditate and practice as usual, which was a habit he had developed since childhood. This is in the Tang Gate, both men and women are compulsory courses, there are no idlers in the Tang Gate, and even the servants will be beaten twice. After practicing qi, he came to the courtyard, and saw that Lian'er had gotten up, sitting in the house drinking tea, looking at a book, hearing him come out, nodding and smiling with him, and returning to his book. He collected his mind, stopped caring about Lian'er, and began his own practice. His usual daily practice is some basic skills, and he doesn't care who watches it, and the subordinates in the Tang Sect often observe his practice. He knew that those who had fallen at his hands had exaggerated his martial prowess, which made many people curious. In fact, a lot of kung fu is in the usual daily basic skills, but when the swordsmanship and the scene are combined, the basic exercises are gathered together, and the power is revealed, and it has amazing power. Therefore, he is very serious about practicing the basic skills every day. In addition to the direction of the inner breath is the biggest secret, his basic exercises are available for everyone to see and learn. If you really learn well, even if you don't have the help of internal strength, you will become a good player. It's a pity that many people are eager for quick success when they practice. When he stopped, Lian'er was already standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame and watching him. He smiled at her, and she just smiled, watching him slowly regain his breath and walk towards her.
"Don't you practice in the morning?"
"Practice, but it's just meditation, so it's not long."
"Grandma didn't teach you anything else?"
"No, my grandmother told me to practice Jinggong in the morning and sword dance in the evening. She said that my foundation was too poor, and that I had practiced too much else, and that I had messed up. ”
"Yes, Grandma has a point. This kind of thing can't be rushed. He noticed that Lian'er looked at him very seriously.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What's wrong?"
"Look at me so seriously."
"Haha, it's not that I'm serious, but because you're serious, you're taking you. I don't know now why they said you were terrible. ”
"Am I scary? Why? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's because you're too focused. Even though all the exercises you just did were the most ordinary exercises, you were so focused that you turned the ordinary into the unusual. Sometimes the constant response to change is the highest level in the duel. ”
This shocked Xinjie. This is actually one of the most basic and important aspects of his martial arts. This girl is so powerful, she doesn't have a foundation in martial arts since she was a child, and she actually saw this. This is something that some of his own siblings still can't understand, and they sometimes wonder why Xinjie has practiced with them since he was a child, although he later had some special guidance from his aunt, but the difference in skill is by no means the slightest. This girl with shallow kung fu can actually say it, and he has to be impressed.
Then Crescent Moon came to them and went to breakfast together, and the conversation between them stopped.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they were surprised to find that Tang Lan was already waiting there. Xinjie can't remember when he had dinner with his father, especially breakfast. He found that his father might have really changed, and although he came early in the morning to wait for him to eat, and behaved very seriously, the kindness in his eyes still revealed his thoughts. At the same time, he also caught his father's eyes looking at Meilian with kindness and softness.
Because my father was there, everyone was quiet. It was the old man who opened his mouth. "Xinjie, you don't want to come back this time
Busy walking. Spend a period of time at home, accompany grandma, grandma has been old in recent years, and you have to help them take care of a lot of things at home. Although you have been helped by your cousin for the past two years," he stopped and looked at Lian'er, his eyes were very complicated, "And you also know that grandma loves you the most, and you have been running out for more than three years, and my father will miss you." "The latter sentence is very difficult, but it really surprised Xinjie, since he was a child, his father has never said who he misses." This year, the emperor is going to summon the children of the royal family and some children of the court to go to the autumn hunt, and the queen mother also wrote to us to send someone over. ”
"Yes, I heard the prince say this a few days ago, the prince was ordered to stay in Beijing, and I have already told him that I want to go back to Xianyang, and I may stay at home for a while."
"The prince has already reported it to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother sent us a letter to send someone else. I've consulted with your grandmother to let Shinten, and Shinhara go. "This arrangement is not unexpected, the eldest brother is the eldest grandson of the long house, and often goes in and out of the royal court, and Shinhara is the most outstanding among all the brothers in riding and shooting. said that it was hunting, but in fact, it was when the emperor took the martial arts of the children of the school. After years of wandering, he has become very indifferent to these public occasions and the pursuit of fame and fortune, and has no interest in joining in the fun. Otherwise, with his current friendship with the prince, the prince is the time to employ people, he can already find a good position through the prince, or stay in the prince's mansion, he came back this time, except for his grandmother's birthday, he also wants to temporarily leave the prince's side, and he is not willing to fall too deep in the court, at least not too deeply on the surface, and his other identity also makes him inconvenient to be too ostentatious.
After eating, Xinjie accompanied them to walk around the streets of Xianyang. Originally, he had never been in the habit of shopping with his sisters, but after not coming home for a long time, he found that this kind of thing was very warm to do today. He couldn't tell if it was because he had been away from home for a long time or because of Lian'er's presence, and the three of them talked and laughed along the way, basking in the sun, and it was also very comfortable. Just walked out of the Tang Mansion not far away, turned onto the street behind the mansion, and a child ran out of the pastry shop around the corner, and ran to them happily, "Sister Bai, Sister Bai, have you entered the city?" Yesterday, Daddy also said that he saw you and Miss Yue in the flower market, let me send some snacks to the house later. "This is Xiao Shun'er of Zheng's restaurant. The Tang Mansion has been on this street for decades, and Xinjie didn't know that his family had a relationship with the people in this restaurant, and he actually had to send things. Later, I found out that it was half a year ago, when Lian'er entered the city, I passed by them and wanted to buy some of their noodles for my grandmother to try, after all, the cook at home is not specialized in everything, just in time for Mrs. Zheng and her eldest daughter-in-law to go to the temple in the southern suburbs to offer incense, they were bitten by a snake, and when they were sent back to Lang Zhong, they already felt that they were hopeless.
"Xiao Shun'er, thank you father, tell him no, we may go back to Zhuangzi tomorrow. Next time, I'll eat at the store. ”
"You'll leave tomorrow, just now when Qi'er brought the flour, he asked you, saying that the shopkeeper Wang was going to accept him as a righteous son, and their shopkeeper said that when you entered the city, they would put the wine together, and let the neighbors go to testify, and make a scene. If you leave tomorrow, they won't be in a hurry. ”
"Oh, then you can bring him a message, let the shopkeeper choose a day, and I will come into the city again. As long as he gets along well with the king's treasurer, I will be happy for him, and it will be the same whether he eats this wine or not. As she spoke, Lian'er touched Shun'er's head affectionately.
Xinjie and Xinyue are confused. Xinjie never thought that this girl from the palace would be so kind to these people in the market. Although he himself also runs Yuehuaxuan, and his family also has various businesses, but after all, the level of capital is different. And these guys are guys. The people of the Tang family have always been high-minded, especially his father and eldest brother, which he doesn't like, and he finds that Lian'er is very fond of his appetite, very kind to people, and is the kind of real pity for the old and the poor, not as hypocritical as the young lady of the family. He mixed up a lot in this circle and the children of the family in the capital, and he was more or less disgusted. Xinjie suddenly found that he was a little envious of Shun'er, this kind of kindness like a brother and sister had never been seen in his life. Later, for a while, he found that he admired all those who were close to Lian'er.
