After practicing for a few days, Lin Xi also went from being sore at the beginning, but now he doesn't feel much, and even Lin Xi is getting more and more energetic the more he practices, and sometimes he will secretly add it a hundred times by himself.

Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Quen are also used to Lin Xi's sword practice every day in the past few days, and they are all doing their own things, Xiao Quen's will clean the courtyard from time to time, and Xiao Ling'er is pulling Lan Er to weave clothes, because this has just entered the winter, she wants to weave some scarves for Lin Xi or something. It's also because of the fast arrival of the cold this year, and it's only November, but it's already very cold, and I don't dare to go out without wearing some clothes.

In the past few days when Lin Xi has practiced swords, Lin Zhiwei has also come to see it many times, every time he sees Lin Xi, he is so serious, and he is also relieved to smile, but after leaving Lin Xi's courtyard, he will show a sad expression, I don't know what he is worried about.

Xu Tianyi is also thinking of the most suitable cultivation method for Lin Xi day and night, in order to hide her thoughts about Xu Wei, these days she will also walk around Lin Yue's courtyard from time to time to see if Lin Yue has a way to crack the heart of that mechanism, but now she is not so concerned about this matter, because originally she wanted to use the heart of the mechanism to help Xu Wei, but now Xu Wei has left, so she doesn't care so much about the result of this thing, more likely, Even if you send the heart of the mechanism to Lin Yue, it doesn't matter.

Time flies, from the winter solstice soon came to the big cold, and in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Tobu Marquis Mansion has slowly begun to have the taste of the year, red lanterns began to be hung everywhere, red things can be seen everywhere, and everywhere begins to be full of joy. Lin Xi's courtyard is already like this, although Lin Xi didn't prepare anything, but Xiao Qu and Xiao Ling'er are not idle, and they are all dressed up in Lin Xi's courtyard, and Lan'er's girl is even more noisy to try her new clothes now, and finally she was reprimanded by Xiao Ling'er before putting the new clothes back in the room, otherwise she would have to keep her clothes on her body, always looking at her new clothes, for fear that someone would steal them for her.

Lan'er's new clothes were made by Xiao Ling'er herself, she also made Lin Xi, Xiao Quen, and Xu Tianyi, originally she wanted to make one for Xu Wei, but she was afraid that Lin Xi would be sad, and Lin Xi and Xu Tianyi didn't say it, so she didn't make this new dress for Xu Wei.

Originally, the arrival of the new year should be the time when people are looking forward to it the most, but Lin Xi is not very happy, he has been with a blank expression since he practiced swords. On this day, Lin Xi came to the small lake court alone, he was wearing a white mink fur, and he was carrying some not very good spirits in his hands.

sat down in the courtyard and poured two bowls of wine, "Old Xu...... Time flies quickly, it is already cold, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and the new year is coming. Saying that, Lin Xi raised the bowl and drank the liquor in one gulp, a slurp came out of his mouth, and the expression on his face was also twisted, it seemed that the strength of the liquor was too great. If Lin Xi's appearance was seen by Xu Wei, he would definitely pat his thigh and laugh at Lin Xi.

"Ahem...... Lao Xu ...... This wine ...... It's a little intense, if you were like that just now, you might have laughed at me for a long time. ”

"What a pity...... You can't see it. ”

Lin Xi had another bowl of spirits in his stomach, but his face showed endless sadness, even though Lin Xi twisted his face like a little old man every time he drank this spirits, he still kept pouring it into his bowl.

Lin Xi looked at the lake and was so engrossed that he forgot to drink the wine held in the air for a while. At this time, the surface of the lake has already formed a thin layer of ice, but you can still occasionally see some koi swimming, but this is supposed to be hibernating, and I don't know why there are still koi swimming.

After watching it for a long time, a cool breeze reminded Lin Xi, who had been holding the bowl, and Lin Xi drank the wine in the bowl again, and muttered in his mouth: "If you see that the fish raised in this house are still swimming in such a cold and well-informed world, how will you explain it?" ”

Drinking and drinking, tears flowed from the corners of Lin Xi's eyes, "Didn't you say that you haven't beaten me ruthlessly?" I'm still waiting......"

"How do you ...... What's ...... Left without saying anything? Damn you, I'...... I...... I will never burn half a copper coin for you, so that you will die poor below......"

Lin Xi lay on the table and muttered to sleep............

But when Lin Xi woke up, he was already in his room, looking out the window, it was already dark, he turned his head to look to the other side, and saw Xiao Quen falling asleep with his head in his hands, Lin Xi just got up, Xiao Quen woke up: "Little Hou Ye, why did you get up?" ”

"You lie down first, and if you want to take something, Xiao Quen will help you get it."

"Just drink some water, I'll do it myself."

"How can this work?"

“……”

“……”

In the end, Lin Xi couldn't screw Xiao Quen, so he had to sit back on the bed and let Xiao Quen pour water for him.

Lin Xi took the water from Xiao Quen's hand and asked, "Xiao Quen, how did I come back?" ”

"Oh...... It was the Hou Ye who sent you back, and there was a little Hou Ye in the middle of the lake, and you thought that the Hou Ye had already ordered that outsiders were not allowed to enter. Xiao Quench replied.

"Is that so......"

After Lin Xi nodded, he asked Xiao Quen to go back to his room to rest first, originally Xiao Quen wanted to stay Xiao to take care of Lin Xi, but Lin Xi said that he was fine, so he didn't let Xiao Quen stay, Xiao Quen didn't want to disobey Lin Xi's order, so he had to leave with a puffed face.

Because of this to take care of Lin Xi, it was she and Xiao Ling'er, who came in separate hours, and she hadn't taken care of it for long, not only did she fall asleep, but Xiao Hou Ye also woke up, so this made Xiao Qian unhappy, she didn't know what Xiao Ling'er did after her little Hou Ye was drunk.

————

The next day, although Lin Xi drank a lot of wine yesterday, he still got up very early to practice the sword, and it was those eight movements, and he still practiced over and over again, and Xu Tianyi was also used to it, so the duration would also ask Lin Xi to practice for another half an hour or one and one hours.

By noon, this time Xu Tianyi added the eight actions of stabbing, splitting, teasing, hanging, clouding, pointing, collapsing, and intercepting from each thousand times to three thousand times. She thought that Lin Xi should say something this time, but Lin Xi still didn't say anything, just practiced the sword according to Xu Tianyi's requirements.

During this period, the only question that Lin Xi said was, "Can you add some?" Xu Tianyi was also extremely pleased with this.

The sword pu in the Dongwu Hou Mansion can be said to be a mountain of many people, and each of them is a good thing that outsiders ask for and want, but since the day Lin Xi practiced the sword, he has not practiced any sword pu, and he just keeps practicing the most basic movements according to Xu Tianyi's requirements, if Lin Xi wants to learn this Dongwu Hou Mansion, how can he not make up a one that can teach him, but Lin Xi just doesn't want to learn, and he doesn't let anyone except Xu Tianyi teach, saying that it is not allowed is that Lin Xi has no time to be idle except for eating and sleeping, or he is practicing swords, Either on the way to sword practice, how can you have time to learn sword from others.

Another few days passed, and in the next day it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone up and down the Dongbu Marquis Mansion was busy preparing for the new year, some were cleaning and some were replacing the old ones with new ones.

When Lin Xi came to the steward's side, maybe Lin Xi had never come out of his courtyard and had grown taller, but the steward didn't recognize Lin Xi for a while, and he also ordered Lin Xi to take down an old lantern, because now Lin Xi is also tall among the men in the house. Lin Xi didn't say anything, and took down the lantern in three or two clicks. When the steward saw Lin Xi, a tall man, he thought he was a newcomer to the mansion, and kept telling Lin Xi how the Marquis of Dongwu was good to his subordinates and how the mansion was, in short, he said a lot of good things, and finally told Lin Xi to do a good job, maybe he could be a steward in the future. In the end, it was the guy who was hugged by Lin Xi and called him a brother and sister that recognized him, and the matter was closed.

When the steward knelt down in fright, he immediately apologized to Lin Xi, and kept saying: "Damn it, I didn't recognize the little marquis." "It was Lin Xi who helped him up before he got up, otherwise I don't know how long the steward would have been kneeling.

In the end, Lin Xi came to the main hall and wanted to talk to Lin Zhiwei, but after coming here, he found that Lin Zhiwei was not there, and finally told Lin Xi that Lin Zhiwei went to the study.

Lin Xi came to the study, knocked on the door, and after entering, he found Lin Zhiwei holding a letter and turning back and forth in the study with a sad face. Seeing Lin Xi coming, he said with a bitter face: "Your eldest sister wrote a letter to scold me, and said that she would come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as Lin Xi heard that his eldest sister would come back tomorrow, he instantly panicked: "Is it because of my martial arts practice?" ”

"Otherwise, what else?" Lin Zhiwei said.

"That'...... So what to do? Lin Xi said in a panic.

Lin Zhiwei sat down and sighed and said, "What else can I do...... Just wait for your eldest sister's hair to fall at this time. ”

Lin Xi also said helplessly when he heard this: "Old man, you are her old man, you can't do anything?" ”

"Are you still her brother? Why don't you come up with something? Lin Zhiwei retorted.

"Or will we say that I didn't practice martial arts?" Lin Xi said hopefully.

Lin Zhiwei said with a dark face: "Do you think your eldest sister is a fool?" ”

Lin Xi shook his head............

In the end, the two could only accept the fact that they were going to be criticized.

"By the way, Xi'er, are you here?"

"Oh...... I just want to tell you that I'm about to start practicing the Sword Pu. ”

"Oh? Is this a good thing? There are some masters in the house who are very good at swordsmanship, and if you want me to arrive, I can let them teach you. ”

Lin Xi shook his head and said no, in fact, Lin Xi wanted to ask Lin Zhiwei about Xu Wei, he knew what his father definitely knew, but he couldn't ask it all the time, Lin Zhiwei also knew the real purpose of his son's visit this time.

In the end, the two chatted about some trivial matters, and then Lin Xi left.
