Chapter 20 The Daily Life of the Qu Family
Qu Xin came to the class where they were going to be and sat down in his place. There are a total of three tables in the room, one for the three siblings. However, only Qu Xin and Qu Xu came to the classroom today, and Qu Yi's position on the edge was empty.
As soon as Qu Xin arrived, Qu Xu moved over, approached Qu Xin and asked, "Sister, you just went back to the room, how is his brother now, are you okay?"
Qu Xin replied lightly: "It's just a little internal injury, it's not a big deal, the doctor said that it will be fine as long as you recuperate for a few days." By the way, you just asked the teacher about the topic left behind, do you want to talk to me? What about yours, the teacher is coming soon, hurry up. ”
Hearing about the subject, Qu Xu quickly nodded and found a notebook, but before the two had time to answer each other, the teacher pushed the door in. Seeing the stiff bearded face, both of them hurriedly sat up straight, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Their teacher was a well-known university scholar who taught many students, and it was their father Qu Liang who personally came to his house to invite him up the mountain. Therefore, this teacher is very strict, although he is the beloved daughter of the head of the Qu family, his ring ruler dares to shoot it without hesitation, and he is the most frightening of all their teachers.
The teacher walked up to the podium, saw that Qu Yi's position was empty at a glance, and asked, "Where is Young Master Qu Yi, is he late today?"
Qu Xin replied: "Brother, he accidentally injured a wild boar during his morning exercise today, and now he is recuperating in bed, and it will take about a few days to recover." ”
"Morning exercise? It's a waste to go to the mountains for morning exercise when it's not good to study so well. It's because of doing such things that I don't have the energy to get sleepy in class. Forget it, don't mention it, you write down today's notes and go back and let him copy a copy, and I'll check it next time. I'm not checking if he copied, I checked if he understood. Do not tell the wrong word. ”
"Yes, teacher. ”
"Let's start class, then. ”
The class lasted for more than two hours, and although there was a short break in between, it still made the two of them feel exhausted. This morning's class was over, and after lunch in the side room, the two of them took a short break and headed straight for the main road. I changed into my clothes in the changing room of the dojo, and the afternoon practice was about to begin.
What awaited them was first of all more than an hour-long Qi practice. Qi training is carried out in the qi training chamber, and in the qi training chamber blessed by a special formation, the concentration of qi is very high, and practicing qi in it can be called twice the result with half the effort.
It's just that such a good qi training chamber needs to activate a special formation to collect qi every time it is used, which costs a lot of money, so the time to open it in a day is very limited.
Moreover, the Qi training chamber is not the same, it is divided into many different compartments, and the formations used are also different.
The outermost and most ordinary large room is for the disciples of the Qu family, their ages are uneven, there are seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths, and there are twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, most of them are people from the Qu family's territory, because of their good talent, they were selected to bring them up the mountain.
They practiced in the Qu family, and the Qu family covered all the expenses for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. And in return, they will need to serve the Qu family for fifty years after completing their studies.
And on the edge of the big room is the outer room, where the space is relatively limited, only the children of the Qu family's clan can practice qi there, and the concentration of qi is almost twice that of the big room. And deeper is the inner room, which is smaller, but also concentrates more qi because of this.
Even ordinary people, as soon as they enter it, they will feel the natural vitality that is abundant in it. That is the descendants of the elders of the Qu family are eligible to use it, and Qu Yi takes qi training classes on weekdays, that is, in the inner room.
And the inner room is not the deepest, and there are even deeper solitary rooms that few people have ever seen. It costs a lot to open the formation of the Dujian, and the formation inside is also the secret of the Qu family, so only the people with the highest status in the Qu family are eligible to enjoy it.
Qu Xin and Qu Xu were in two of the separate rooms. There is another person who is also in the solitary room like them, and he is Qu Qian's youngest son.
After the Qi training session, the Qi training chamber will be closed, and normally no one else can practice Qi in it. Therefore, more than an hour of Qi practice is the most important time of the day for many people.
But there are exceptions, the three people in the private room, as well as some of the elders in the inner room, will also come to practice qi at other times, which naturally requires other arrangements. Qu Qian, the head of the Qu family who manages this matter.
But for Qu Yi, Qu Qian didn't give him such a chance. Qu Yi has never told Qu Liang about this matter, if he said it to Qu Liang, Qu Liang would definitely arrange him to be involved. But he didn't do that in the end, and he didn't want to make the relationship with Qu Qian too stiff.
On the other hand, he didn't want Qu Liang to be embarrassed, as the head of the Qu family, Qu Liang had to deal with a lot of affairs every day, anyway, he just wanted to manage a few small towns in the future and marry a few wives and concubines to be satisfied, so why bother Qu Liang to work hard for him?
After the Qi training, everyone was gathered in the martial arts training ground. The martial arts training ground is very large, and the interior is divided into several different areas, and people of different ages practice martial arts in different areas. Most of the practice in the martial arts training ground is the practice of skills, including actual combat exercises in martial arts, weapons, etc.
When Qu Xin and Qu Xu reached this age, the main means of learning also changed from the teacher's lecture to actual combat confrontation.
Except for a few clan children, most of the rest were disciples of the Qu family. However, although they both belong to the disciples of the Qu family, they are also different, and they are divided into two types: external disciples and beginner disciples. External disciples are generally those who are selected from among the children of ordinary families in the territory. Most of the introductory disciples were people from small and medium-sized families in the Qu family's territory, and they were sent to the Qu family to learn art.
The Qu family will teach them qi training and martial arts, and in the future, they will learn something, and most of them will do things for the Qu family. Although most of them were disciples under the name of the three brothers of the Qu family, it was actually their seniors who taught them. Only a very small number of extremely talented talents will have the opportunity to be accepted as introductory disciples, and they will be taught by Qu Liang and them themselves, but these talents have not yet appeared in the Qu family.
The practice of martial arts does not allow the use of qi, that is to say, it is a confrontation between pure skill and physical strength. Most of the forms used are one-on-one or two-on-two actual combat, and sometimes in order to enhance the actual combat effect, the teacher will also arrange multi-person melee.
In an area of five meters square, there is a mat made of special thatch, and although it hurts to fall, it will not hurt. The students sat around, and the teacher explained to the students the key points of the skills that had been more frequent in the previous practical training, and then named two students to the stage to demonstrate. After that, the students were asked to work in pairs.
Naturally, the grouping is based on male-to-male, female-to-female, after all, they are also old enough to enter into a marriage contract.
"Didn't the eldest young master come today?"
The teachers looked around and found that they didn't see Qu Yi, because the number of students they brought was singular, and Qu Yi was often left out during the training group, and they were all asked for their teachers to do it for them, but Qu Yi was not seen today, and today was not the day of the formation class.
"Teacher, brother, he was injured during his morning exercise this morning, and the doctor asked him to recuperate for a few days. So I couldn't come to class. ”
"I see, then let him cultivate well. Everyone else starts, don't be lazy. ”
The two teachers walked around and gathered together, chatting quietly while looking at the students.
"The eldest young master used to practice in the morning, it was really unexpected, but I didn't see how he was willing to learn in the martial arts training ground on weekdays. ”
"It's good that he's willing to practice in the morning, if it's too bad, the master suddenly checks it and reveals the stuffing, and then the blame must be for the trouble of our two lax teaching. ”
"Yes, the second master is really, isn't this embarrassing for us. However, it is not necessary to take the eldest young master to focus on the formation, and to neglect the practice of martial arts, may also be able to prevaricate the past. ”
The speaker had no intention of listening, and the two didn't notice it, and their whispers were all listened to by Qu Xin not far away.
