Chapter 8 The Passing Years

Time flies, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Changning is already eight years old.

Get up every morning to practice boxing for an hour, swordsmanship for an hour, although it is only Tai Chi and basic swordsmanship, but it is laying the foundation for the future, so Changning never stops in winter and summer.

In the morning, I studied with the two sisters, and now I don't have to hide my clumsiness, and I have made a small success in calligraphy, art, housekeeping, and embroidery skills, and I am not inferior to my sister in two colors.

Practice for an hour in the afternoon, and then practice embroidery, of course, not light embroidery, but also by the way to practice their only learned skills, now this five-grade embroidery skills have been practiced by themselves to be very proficient.

The rest of the time, Changning will go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read books, all kinds of things, history, geography, herbs, martial arts, etc. are all slightly involved.

Most of the time at night is spent practicing Xuan Qi, after five years of accumulation, Xuan Qi has reached the second order of upper consummation, which is relatively fast among children of the same age, in fact, Changning feels that he can make another breakthrough, but he feels that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, if he is too prominent, it may not be a good thing, so he has to condense the Xuan Qi over and over again, remove impurities, in order to be pure, and it is also conducive to future cultivation.

I didn't go to bed until later. Every day is scheduled. However, Changning didn't feel hard at all, but felt that life was very fulfilling.

Now Changning has lived alone in a small courtyard, which is named after Changning and is called Changning Residence. Near the mother's house.

It's the height of summer, and although it's still morning, the sun is already quite hot. Changning was not afraid of these, and walked leisurely on the path to the main house.

The spring fan who followed behind was miserable, and he was already drenched in sweat, but he couldn't speak.

"Fifth sister is early." Coming over was Qingwu, followed by her maid Tao'er. Today's clear fog has grown from yesterday's little girl to a budding girl. Because at home, I just pulled the hair on it casually, and the rest of the head hung straight down to my waist. Wearing a lotus satin dress, although she is only twelve years old, she looks thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has already begun to look like a girl.

Qingwu also looked at Changning, who had not been seen for a long time, a pair of watery eyes with a smile, but they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her white skin looked like she could be blown and broken, although she was only wearing white cotton clothes, it did not damage her Qinghua spirit at all. is only eight years old, but she can always make people ignore her age, and people dare not despise her.

Could it be that this is the daughter of the family, Qingwu thought, and suddenly felt a little frustrated. It seems that no matter how hard you try, you can't do your best.

"Sister Qingwu also went to her mother's?" Changning is busy, and he is not very familiar with his two sisters.

"Hmm. I was going to say goodbye to my mother. "Qingwu's biological mother is the personal maid brought by the Jiang family from the Jiang family, because the Jiang family exempted the concubine from asking for peace every day, but Aunt Zhu asked Qingwu to go to the Jiang family every day to ask for it, and it has never stopped all these years. Even the Jiang clan was indeed a little better to Qingwu.

"That's it, second sister, please." Changning made a gesture to invite first, after all, people are guests, a certain Ning has always been very polite to say.

"I've heard that we're going to visit the second aunt in Shengjing together for a while, have you heard of the fifth sister?" Qingwu was not polite, turned his head and asked softly.

"Oh, I haven't heard of that. What happened to the second aunt? "Changning has always cared about his two aunts.

Some time ago, I heard that my eldest aunt had entered the seventh order three months ago, and now the family has another Heavenly Realm Heavenly Hand, although it is only the first time to enter the Heavenly Realm. But the eldest aunt is only 35 years old now, and her future is limitless.

The eldest son of the second aunt's family has just turned three years old, and it seems that he is about to give birth a few days ago. Is it already raw?

"I also heard what Qingshuang said." Speaking of this, Qingwu was a little bitter, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he said, "The second aunt gave birth to her second son last month, and the family decided to let my father take our sisters and the fourth sister of the uncle's family into Beijing together. It is said to be to see and see. ”

Changning then remembered that since Liu Changyun, the eldest sister of the uncle's family, got married, he didn't seem to have seen the fourth sister Liu Qingxue.

"Oh, I wonder if the second aunt's second son was named? I remember that the cousin that the second aunt gave birth to before seemed to be called Feng Guanhai, right? ”

"Hmm. The second cousin's name is Feng Guanchao, and the eldest cousin is said to be extremely naughty, and he is already three years old this year. Time flies. ”

"Not really."

The two chatted while walking, and unconsciously arrived at the main hall of Yourong Courtyard.

"Mother Ann." The two saluted the Jiang family.

"Qingwu, Ning'er, let's come over and have breakfast together." Although Jiang is already thirty, the years have not left too many marks on her face, and she still looks like she is in her twenties.

"Mother, I heard that we are going to Shengjing to see my aunt?"

"You've all gotten the news. This time, I am mainly going to inspect the children of your generation in the capital. Scold. Jiang Shi said and glanced at Qingwu, and saw that she was ashamed, so he didn't joke anymore.

"So when are we going? Mother had to tell Ning'er as soon as possible, Ning'er still had a lot of things to prepare. "Changning also hopes to go out and see and see, he has been in this world for so long, and he hasn't taken a good look at this world.

Jiang smiled dotingly, "You have a lot of ghost ideas." Three days later, we set off early in the morning. ”

"It's hard to go out of the house, it's like grandma, I said that I would take others to play when I fix the Xuanqi, but I was stunned and delayed, and I haven't been out of our door yet." Changning said coquettishly to the Jiang family.

"You little girl, grandma usually loves you the most, you actually arranged her old man." Jiang smiled and flicked Changning's forehead.

"I don't have it, what I say is the truth or not."

"Grandmother loves her fifth sister the most, it's too late to be happy to see her, where can I blame her." Qingwu snorted in a somewhat sour tone.

The three of them recounted. Qingwu took the big girl Tao'er to leave.

Changning accompanied the Jiang family to breakfast, and Chang'an also came over after a while. Now the twelve-year-old Chang'an Xuanqi has been cultivated to the middle level of the second order, and because he looks like the Jiang family, he is more delicate than ordinary boys.

"Will my brother also go to Shengjing with us?" Changning asked Jiang,

"Go, and the breeze will go."

"What are you doing in Shengjing?"

Changning explained.

After breakfast, the Jiang family pulled Changning and Chang'an into the inner room.

"This is for my mother these days, and I am going to give it to you in a few days, but you will be going out in three days, take it back now, find someone to clean it up, see what you have to bring, don't fall behind."

"I will probably come back in the beginning of autumn, and it will take half a month on the way back and forth. You have never traveled far away, but you are afraid that you will suffer something. It's really hard to give up for my mother. ”

"Mother, don't worry, we will definitely return safely." Chang'an said solemnly, "My son has grown up now, he is a man, and he will protect his sister well." ”

Changning also knew what the Jiang family was worried about, it was good to be at home for a thousand days, but it was difficult to go out. What's more, in this world where martial arts are respected, how chaotic it is outside, I am afraid it is unimaginable if I don't go out.

"Mother, my brother and I are both masters of the second order of Xuanqi. It's just going to visit relatives, and it's going to be fine. Changning also comforted.

"My mother will ask someone to prepare some pills, and some necessary things to go out, and I will ask someone to bring them to you when the time comes. I don't have to go to class today, go back and get ready, and remember to find a time to say goodbye to my grandmother. ”

"Yes." The two of them should respond.

The three of them spoke again before they dispersed.
