Chapter 649: Before the Rain (Medium)
After eating crabs and appreciating chrysanthemums, the weather gradually cooled down.
The emperor's new Wang Meiren added a prince to the emperor, and the crown princess Fang added a grandson to the emperor, and the third son of the emperor was named King Yong, and opened a separate house in Chongwenfang. Mrs. Zhou did not forget Brother Jin'er's birthday. On the 10th day of the first month of October, he personally went to MΓ©n and gave Brother Jin two lake pens, two boxes of Hui ink, a pair of inkstones, two royal blue silk robes, and two pairs of blessing cloud shoes as birthday gifts.
Eleven Niang was very embarrassed, so she hurriedly invited Mrs. Zhou to sit in the inner room, leaving her for lunch: "...... Xiao's child was just scattered, which made my sister break the bank. β
"If you say that, you'll be out of sight of me." Mrs. Zhou smiled and hugged her brother who thanked her, "Our brother is a blessed person in the life of the imperial concubine!" β
Eleven Niang was a little crying and laughing.
Mrs. Zhou counted the credit for Sister Fang's childbirth on Brother Jin'er's head again.
"This is also the crown princess's own eight characters!" , Sister Fang has two sons, and she finally has a firm foothold for the time being.
Mrs. Zhou smiled silently, took out a piece of Hetian yΓΉ's yΓΉ card from her sleeve and hung it on Brother Jin'er's neck: "I know you like these things." This was brought out of the palace by the princess a few years ago. Knowing that I was going to come to see Brother Jin, I specially asked me to give it to Brother Jin. As he spoke, he took out a pair of red gold bracelets and put them on Brother Jin'er's hand, "This is given to you by your Uncle Zhou." He took out a jade ring and hung it on Brother Jin'er's waist, "This is when I went to Ciyuan Temple to make a vow to the crown princess, I asked Mrs. Jining to open the light." Guarantee that our brother is quiet and safe! He took out a purse with a big red background embroidered with gold thread and a pattern every year, "There are a few East Pearls in it, take them for you to play!" Eleven Niang couldn't help sweating on her forehead.
"Sister Zhou......" As soon as she opened her mouth to shout, Mrs. Zhou had already stuffed the purse into Brother Jin'er's arms, "This is what we give to our children as elders" is not for you. Just say a few words! Then he smiled and said to Brother Jin'er, "Good boy, aunt knows that your grandmother has a lot of good things, and your eye holes are also high, these things are not rare for you." It's just that my aunt is in a hurry today, and when the Chinese New Year comes, my aunt will find you a few interesting things for you to play. β
Brother Jin saw that Hetian yΓΉ was white, delicate and warm, and the jade was crystal clear and moist, and it was not ordinary, and he liked it very much. It can be seen that his mother refused, so he had no choice but to push the thing into Mrs. Zhou's arms: "Auntie, I can't ask for it!" β
Mrs. Zhou ignored him, and while stuffing things back into Brother Jin'er's arms, she said to Eleven Niang that she was alive: "I heard that Brother Jin began to practice martial arts with his master?" Before Eleven Niang could speak, she said, "Why is this?" Practice three nines in winter and three dogs in summer.
It's hard to practice martial arts. How can you give up? Could it be that our brother Jin still relies on this to be promoted? β
Mrs. Zhou is unhappy with Brother Jin here, and Mrs. Fifth is also holding grievances for her son.
ββ¦β¦ After all, he is not the master he invited. Teaching children is biased. She sat on the Jinhang in front of the bed of the old marquis Sun, and Xiao heartily blew yao cold and fed it to the mouth of the old marquis Sun, "It is also a squatting horse step" Master Pang privately taught Brother Jin'er internal skills, and now he can easily squat four or five incense sticks. We've suffered a loss. Squatting for three sticks of incense is already a leg and foot tendon. Brother Xu'er is an unconvinced person, gritting his teeth and refusing to admit defeat. I advised him that ten fingers should be long. Brother Jin'er's horse step is good, but his arrows are not as good as yours. Not only did he not listen, but he also went to squat in the morning and came back in the evening to continue squatting. Dad, how do you think this is good? β
The implication is to let Mr. Sun find a master for Brother Xu'er alone.
"Oh!" Old Marquis Sun was slightly stunned when he heard this, "So, Yongping Hou agreed that Brother Jin would follow his master to learn internal skills?" When people are old, they can't stand things. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old Marquis Sun occasionally contracted the cold, and he has been ill. It's been almost two months now. After Mrs. Tai found out, she asked Xu Lingwan to take Mrs. Wu and the children back to live in Red Light Hutong. The fifth lady is serving in front of her father every day these days.
Seeing her father's surprised face, the fifth lady hurriedly said, "Yes! I also heard that Brother Jin squatted every morning to "practice foreign kung fu", and every night he went back to meditate. For this, Hou Ye asked Mr. Zhao to halve Brother Jin'er's homework. β
Old Marquis Sun leaned on the big pillow again, "There was a bit of solemnity in his relaxed and comfortable expression just now.
He silently drank the soup yao. It wasn't until the fifth lady packed up her things and was about to retreat that she pointed to Jin Hang beside her and motioned to the fifth lady to stay: "Then do you know that after learning the inner kung fu, although learning the outer kung fu will be half the effort, but until the time for something to be achieved, it is best not to get married." Otherwise, the kung fu will be in vain! The fifth lady was stunned.
"Do you still want Brother Xu'er to learn the kung fu of the family?" Old Marquis Sun asked pointedly.
"I don't want to!" The fifth lady didn't think about it, and immediately said, "I'm still counting on Brother Xu'er to take a wife and have children as soon as possible!" Saying that, his face hesitated, "The fourth sister-in-law only has these three sons, how can she be willing to ......?"
"yes!" Old Marquis Sun looked at NV'er, "She is willing, you have two sons, why are you reluctant?" β
The fifth lady was stunned.
Old Marquis Sun had already ordered the people around him loudly: "Go and call the Seventh Young Master in!" β
"Daddy!" The Fifth Lady sensed that something was wrong.
Old Marquis Sun waved his hand at her, signaling her not to say more.
Brother Xu'er was accompanied by several guards of the Sun family to practice shè arrows on the school field, and when he heard that his grandfather was looking for him, he hurriedly wiped his face and ran away.
"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandfather." He jumped up and ran in front of Old Marquis Sun.
My grandfather liked him very much, and when he saw him, he had a smile in his eyes.
Old Marquis Sun gently touched Brother Xu'er's head, and the more he looked at this healthy and lively grandson, the happier he became.
"Do you want to be like Brother Jin'er and learn internal skills from the master?" "Hmm! Brother Xu'er's eyes lit up. He knew that his grandfather must have a way to make him as powerful as Brother Jin'er. He replied to his grandfather without thinking.
"Daddy!" , The fifth lady couldn't help frowning, "He's still a xiao child." What do you know......"
"That's it!" Old Marquis Sun lightly interrupted NV'er's words, "I know this matter in my heart. After speaking, he and Yan Yue looked at Brother Xu'er, "But it's difficult to learn kung fu." Moreover, you can't get married until you learn well......"
When Brother Xu'er heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Is the sixth brother married?" β
Old Marquis Sun couldn't help laughing: "He's the same." You can't get married until you learn well! β
"Then I won't be married!" Brother Xu'er said immediately.
"Good!" Old Marquis Sun drank happily, "Ambition!" Then he smiled and pulled the hook with Brother Xu, "You can't break your word!" β
Brother Xu'er nodded again and again: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely not break my word." And I'm sure I'm even better than Brother Liu! β
Old Marquis Sun nodded with relief, let the servants around him take him down, and instructed the fifth lady: "You go and find Ling Kuan." I want to talk to him! β
"Daddy!" The five-clamp people were very uneasy.
Is his son's future decided like this?
"Now it's peaceful and prosperous, and there is no need to fight. What do you learn? She objected, "Besides, even if the world is moving, it won't be our turn to kill the enemy with real guns and knives!" β
You understand this truth, "Don't you know the fourth uncle!" Old Marquis Sun smiled, "You, you have to use your brains to persuade you!" Go and call Ling Kuan in! β
The fifth lady left a little depressed.
The long attendant, who had been standing silently at the head of the old Hou Ye's bed, raised his head: "Hou Cha...... This matter, you don't think you have to wait for the sampan ......, the seventh young master is still ...... old."
"No need!" Old Marquis Sun shook his head, "There is no first in Wen, and there is no second in Wu." Those scholars couldn't distinguish one, two, three, four, or five, so they had no choice but to rank seniority. We don't come from the same ranks. It's clear who wins and who loses with a punch. Whoever has a hard fist will be obeyed. Well, at the beginning, if Xu Lingyi didn't want to be good at martial arts, how could he stop the old fritters in the barracks so quickly? Do you think they are really afraid of his identity as the Marquis of Yongping? Since our brother is going to take this road sooner or later, it is better to plan as soon as possible. It's better than sharpening your gun! What's more, the Xu family still has such a big stall in the army, Xu Lingyi can't just leave it alone, right? Old Marquis Sun said, his eyes staring at the blue-green sΓ¨ six-ribbed Chengchen above his head, and his voice gradually deepened, "The west has been stable for ten years...... The emperor is now in the prime of life, so naturally he is fine...... But what about another 10 years? At that time, Brother Jin should have been fifteen or sixteen years old, right? β
Chang was shocked: "What about Hou......"
"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." , Old Marquis Sun smiled, "Xu Lingyi is not the kind of person who stare at his toes to live. If you don't believe me, we'll see! βοΌβ¦β¦
Within a few days, Brother Xu'er returned to Hehua with a high spirit.
He pointed to a burly sweater beside him, glanced at the slightly broken Master Pang and smiled, "This is Master Yang."
My grandfather rewarded me. From today on, I will start to practice internal kung fu with him. β
Brother Jin'er's jaw was about to drop.
went back and waved his fist to Eleven Niang: "I'm my brother, I can't compare to him, won't it make people laugh to death......" It used to be in the quilt for a while when I got up in the morning, but now I got up by myself without waiting for Hongwen to call.
A person's success or failure largely depends on whether he has a tenacious heart.
Eleven Niang felt that this was a good opportunity.
She accompanies Brother Jin to get up every morning and meditates with him. During the Chinese New Year, I refused all the banquets, no matter whether the family was singing or inviting guests, Eleven Niang went to say hello and came back, never staying for a while, maintaining the original rest time.
This touched Brother Jin a lot. The most important thing is that through this period of hard practice, he has gained a little bit of mΓ©n Taoism in both external and internal kung fu. This made Jin Ge'er suddenly feel a kind of happiness beyond his self and became more confident. invisibly agreed with the idea that Eleven Niang instilled in him that "persistence, you can achieve success".
