Chapter 70: Beatings

"Shhh Lady, be light! ”

It was almost six or seven o'clock in the morning, Situ Xi was lying on the bed with a desperate face, Zhong Lisu was gently medicating him with a handkerchief, she looked at the redness and bruise on Situ Xi's body, and her heart was also distressed.

She got up very early in the morning, because Situ Xi was going to start learning martial arts from today, and he had to practice with Qixian at five o'clock every day.

Zhong Lixuan also got up together, who would have thought that she was just going out to visit the morning market, and when she came back, she saw her husband lying in rags on the ground in the courtyard, almost "dying early"......

"Seven strings!" Situ Xi gritted his teeth, no wonder he said that he wanted him to wear a thin one today, and he had to prepare a plaster in advance.

Today he got up in the morning and was ready to start his martial arts life, because it was the first day, he thought that Qixian would teach him some basic knowledge, or zazama steps.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped out of the door, Qixian attacked him directly, punching to the flesh, and even on his legs.

Where is this practice, it is obvious that he was beaten badly, he ran while hiding, and fought with Qixian in the yard for an hour.

"Hurry up and master the movements in the boxing book, although it is named after the boxing method, but it also takes a lot of space to talk about the footsteps, this is a kung fu that integrates striking skills and dodging, and when you can practice with me and not get hurt, it is basically a beginner."

Outside the door, Qixian leaned against the peach tree and ate fruit, and with the intensity of the confrontation just now, he didn't have too much dust on his body.

For what Qixian said, Situ Xi also experienced it personally in the morning, when he wanted to fight back in the morning, every time he felt that his fist and kick were about to hit Qixian, he would be dodged by him with a strange pace.

Thinking about it like this, Mu Juzheng is really terrifyingly strong.

"Your foundation is a little poor, and rest is also very important, so take a day off every two days of practice."

"Huh! Wait! Situ Xi is actually quite excited in his heart, no matter what, it's always good to get stronger, "Shhh ”

Zhong Li put a plaster on him, although she was distressed, she didn't say anything to stop him, Situ Xi had her own decision in her heart about these things, all she could do was to accompany and support him like this.

"Uncle, Mr. Fan asks to see you." Whispering came from outside the courtyard at this time.

……

"The restaurant has already been bought?"

In the hall, Situ Xi's chair was padded with three layers of cushions, and Chaoyun and Manjun were performing their duties as maids, pouring tea and water for Situ Xi and Fan Laotian.

Fan Lao had seen Chaoyun before, and remembered that she seemed to be the sister of the Hua family, how could she be in the Nine Kings Mansion, and she seemed to have become a maid.

But these things were not for him to ask.

"Back to the Nine Kings, it's almost over, the rest of the matters have been negotiated, and you only need to sign and draw in the name of one person." Fan Lao truthfully reported the process, "The owner of Baiyi Building was in a hurry to make a move, and Brother Zhang and I expressed our intention yesterday, and he quickly agreed. ”

"The restaurant has three floors, and the space should be sufficient, but it must be completely arranged according to the layout given by Jiuwang, and I am afraid it will take some time to renovate."

"That's not bad."

For the design of Jade Wine House, Situ Xi only provided an idea, he mainly focused on the high-end market, in addition to food and drink, but also committed to meeting some of the guests' entertainment and accommodation needs, so a lot of extra space was needed.

And he also plans to set aside a separate space on the first floor of the restaurant to sell desserts, but he can't waste Zhang Yuer's craftsmanship.

"You can do the decoration thing, and I'll take two friends to take a look at it after a while, and they can be regarded as the owners of this jade wine house." Chen Zhishu also paid for it, not to mention that even if she didn't pay, Situ Xi would have to find a way to bring her with her.

"Yes." Fan Lao gave his hand to the order.

"By the way, Fan Lao, I told you before that there is still a big business to talk to you, I want to ask you if you have ever been in the business of selling books?"

"Bookstore? Nine Kings want to be in the book business? It's really untouched, but it's not a difficult task. ”

"I have a few books that I want to print in large quantities, but I don't know if the content is compliant in the Chu State, Fan Lao has a way? It doesn't matter if you try it in the country of Li, but you need to keep this matter a secret for me. ”

A script that may not be released?

Hearing Situ Xi's statement, Fan Lao lowered his head and was thinking, Situ Xi was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea and waited for him to reply.

"Okay, in the end, it's just a book, since the Nine Kings have spoken, Lao Shu will definitely handle this matter for you, but I want to take a look at the content of the book you said first, is this okay?"

"Fan Lao, please take a look." Situ Xi took out two books and gave them to Fan Yong.

One is called "Ming Yan", which is a story left by Situ Xi after excerpting and changing from Feng Menglong's "Yu Shi Ming Yan", and the other is "Three Kingdoms" slightly revised by him, which is only half completed.

"This is the ......" Fan Lao first picked up the manuscript of the "Three Kingdoms", turned the first page, and saw the majestic opening words on the title page.

……

On Dongshi Street, in a luxury sedan chair.

"Your Royal Highness, why do you have to pull your little brother up when you go shopping today, I have to go to my brother-in-law's house in a while." Zhong Limo was holding a small, cute, fluffy chow in his arms, and looked at Zuo Mingli, the king of Geng, and Zuo Shenyan, the prince of the world, opposite him helplessly.

"What's the hurry, I'm calling you so that we can visit Brother Situ together later, and this king just happened to send him the gift promised him."

"So what are we going to do now?" Zhong Limo's head was still a little unconscious, and he was dragged out of the house by these two before he woke up.

"It won't be long before Grandma's birthday, and we, as juniors, should also prepare a gift carefully, right?" Zuo Mingli patted the folding fan in his hand.

"But little brother, I'm still a child, maybe she'll be very happy when the time comes, chanting a few celebratory poems to the Queen Mother's grandmother on her birthday."

"Don't be stubborn." Zuo Shenyan looked at Zhong Limo and rolled his eyes, this kid used to be a well-known person in Xuan'an, "Naturally, there is something fun to think of bringing you, this morning there will be a group of merchants from overseas in the East Market......"

"What? If there is such a thing, why not say it earlier! Zhong Limo instantly cheered up, "Your Highness, can you pull over and stop the sedan chair, junior brother, I will go to my brother-in-law's house to call him now, he will also participate in the spring hunt at that time." ”

Zuo Mingli was stunned, this is also true, but he didn't expect Zhong Limo to have such a good relationship with Situ Xi, and he could think of him for the first time when he encountered something interesting.

"By the way, Your Highness, I don't know what hobbies the Queen Mother's grandmother has in recent days?"

"Hobbies...... She's been obsessed with theatre lately, and the last time I saw her, she was watching a puppet show, and she's just a fan of weird rocks. ”
