Chapter 126: Learn Martial Arts
Grandma heard Li Yan say that Xiao Qi wanted to stay, so she cleaned up the ear room for Xiao Qi, laid a new quilt for him, and had dinner with Li Yan and the others, and Xiao Qi stayed in the ear room.
lit a candle and wrote a letter to Gu Xuan crookedly.
Early in the morning of the second day, before the light of day, Xiao Qi got up.
went to Qingshui Lake to fetch water, and he chopped all the firewood, so he started to sweep the yard.
Wait until he finishes punching and practicing swords.
Li Yan and the others got up, and after freshening up, they had breakfast together.
Breakfast was made by Grandma.
The old people are used to going to bed early and getting up early, and after coming to Yaoxiangtang, grandma is in charge of breakfast.
Since Li Yan took care of her body, Grandma's body has been getting better day by day.
The old man wants to do some work, he can move his muscles and bones, it is no better than sitting, seeing that she is in good health, Li Yan will let her.
Today, Grandma cooked porridge and steamed steamed buns.
The boy has a good appetite, and when Xiaoqi came, Grandma steamed two more for him.
Xiao Qi thanked him and ate gently.
Li Yan had long been thinking about asking a master to practice her hands and feet, and remembered that Xiao Qi had practiced that set of fists and feet in the yard, so she asked him if he was willing to teach her.
"What's so hard about that?"
Xiao Qi happily agreed, and said, "But my ugly words are ahead, at your age, it's too late to practice martial arts." It's okay to keep fit, but I can't teach you to fly the eaves and walk the wall. β
Li Yan said while drinking porridge, "You only discipline, and I don't blame you for not learning well." β
The little girl wants to practice martial arts at Miss, and her eyes are shining, "I also want to learn." β
Li Yan has learned, and the little girl is naturally not far behind.
"Then you will teach us from tomorrow, how much money you take in the Guogong Mansion, I will give you as much silver here."
Xiao Qi refused to accept the money, Li Yan couldn't tolerate him refusing, "If you don't accept it, go back to your master." β
In this way, Xiao Qi did more work, that is, to teach the master and servant two to practice martial arts.
After the meal, Kumquat led Xiao Qi up the mountain to collect medicine.
Li Yan nested in the house, planning to make the mountain, and Mrs. Zhou would come to her during the day when she had nothing to do.
Li Yan will also go to the Zhou Mansion to accompany the old lady and Mrs. Zhou, and occasionally take a day off in the Zhou Mansion.
Li Yan went to the Zhou Mansion and did not delay the practice of martial arts.
Fortunately, it is close to home, and you can get home with a cup of tea.
Xiao Qi doesn't look old, but he is very serious in his work.
When teaching Li Yan's master and servant to practice martial arts, he had the demeanor of a strict teacher.
The first thing I did when I got up in the morning was to tie two sandbags to them and run around Qingshui Lake.
Each of these two sandbags had to weigh three kilograms, and this lap made the master and servant tired enough.
After three days of doing this, the task intensified.
In addition to running Qingshui Lake, I also have to tie up for half an hour every day.
As soon as the horse was tied, Li Yan's legs trembled badly, and the kumquat was not much better.
Mrs. Zhou was distressed and shouted, "It's so hard, don't learn, don't learn." β
The two little girls still persevered, and Mrs. Zhou prepared hot water.
When the little girls finished soaking their feet, and adding Li Yan's homemade medicine bag to the foot soaking water, their sore feet would not be too uncomfortable.
The next day, I was able to carry it again.
Such days pass by quickly, and the day of recognition has come in a blink of an eye.
The night before the confession, Zhou Ziheng, the lone seedling of the Zhou Mansion, hurriedly and finally returned, along with two classmates from the academy.
It was already late at night for the three of them, and Mrs. Zhou got up and tossed for a long time before settling down.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhou went to pick up her daughter in person, and seeing such a big day, Li Yan did not forget to study and practice martial arts diligently, so she couldn't help but look at her.
"Hard-working stepmother, wait for me." Li Yan walked on her horse and raised her face to smile at her.
"What can I do? Today you are the protagonist, and your mother has to wait for you no matter what. β
Mrs. Zhou was used to her, "You practice, I'll put bath water for you." β
"Madame, you really spoil Miss."
Mama Wang's grooming skills are good, and Mrs. Zhou took her to dress up Li Yan today.
"I don't pet my own children, who spoils." Mrs. Zhou's pet is righteous.
Mama Wang smiled, "If I had a daughter like Miss, I would be more spoiled than you." β
"You old thing, you think I don't treat Yan'er well enough."
The master and servant laughed and entered Meixiangju, Mama Wang went to fetch hot water, and Mrs. Zhou took new clothes and hung them on the shelves behind the screen.
When Mama Wang poured hot water into the bathtub, Mrs. Zhou sprinkled some rose petals again.
This kung fu, Li Yan came back after practicing.
Mrs. Zhou pushed the child to bathe, and she and Mama Wang waited in the compartment.
Mama Wang came out with a makeup box, and Mrs. Zhou had picked out ornaments for Li Yan a few days earlier, a hollow orchid bead hairpin, a pair of cloisonnΓ© red coral earrings, and a bracelet inlaid with gold and jade.
Li Yan wears a plain Taoist robe every day, and it is rare to have the opportunity to dress up today.
Mrs. Zhou was eager to put all the bright and bright colors on the little girl's makeup.
But in the end, I still have scruples, and I still didn't choose too much publicity.
"Mother."
Li Yan called softly, pulling her thoughts back.
Li Yan was dressed in a pink and purple begonia silk dress and walked in front of her, her face was like a hibiscus, and she was curly and pavilionly.
"My daughter is so pretty." Mrs. Zhou took Li Yan's hand and squinted her eyes with a smile.
"No, the immortals are not as beautiful as our young lady."
Mrs. Zhou was so happy when she said it, "Don't be poor, it's up to you to see your craftsmanship today." β
"Then I'll give it a try."
Mrs. Zhou pulled Li Yan to sit down, "Come, let Mama Wang paint you some makeup, let's dress up today." β
Li Yan saw that she was happy, and sat down obediently to cooperate.
Mama Wang felt that her young lady didn't wear makeup, which was enough to amaze everyone, so she only put on light makeup and only put a flower on her forehead.
As soon as this flower is pasted, the effect of the sunny spot will come out.
The makeup is light and girlish.
Wearing beaded earrings, the whole person is a little brighter.
When Mrs. Zhou came, the sedan chair was spacious enough, and Grandma Wang and Mama Kumquat followed the mother and daughter into the sedan chair.
Xiao Qi walked outside the sedan chair and escorted him all the way into the Zhou Mansion.
The entrance of the Zhou Mansion is lit up and festive.
The big red carpet was rolled all the way from the gate to the Zixuan Hall where guests were entertained.
From Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Bi, these masters, to Qiuyue, these slaves and maids under them are all dressed happily and smiling.
Mrs. Zhou accompanied Li Yan into the boudoir Haitang Pavilion arranged for her in laughter.
Mrs. Zhou, as the hostess, has a lot of things to do today, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she will pick people up.
Let the kumquat wait.
After instructing the child a few words, he went outside to entertain the guests.
Mrs. Xiao Qizhou hurriedly confessed to her son Zhou Ziheng as an accompaniment.
He also told him that this was a distinguished guest, so that he could not be rude.
Zhou Ziheng took Xiao Qi and his two classmates.
One Ning Yuan and one Zhao Yu were wandering around the outer courtyard.
After shopping for a while, Zhou Ziheng proposed to go to the small garden to have a look, and invited Xiao Qi to join him by the way.
Xiao Qi pursed his lips, and he didn't know what to see in the small garden of Zhou's mansion, and Zhou Ziheng's two classmates were full of interest.
Mrs. Zhou came early when she picked them up.
At present, there is at least more than an hour left before the recognition ceremony.
He was idle, and he followed.
