The heavy snow has just stopped, the Yujing City has resumed its liveliness and prosperity, the streets are full of people coming and going, and all kinds of large shops are even more lively, such as the wine banquet and eating of "Juyuan Building", the girl of "Scattered Flower Building", the pen, ink and paper inkstone of "Songzhuxuan", the silk and satin of "Songjiang Shop", the antique old goods of "Yigulou", the jewelry of "Jinyutang", etc., are the most lively places in Yujing.

These large shops are patronized by the prince and grandson who are freshly dressed and angry, as well as scholars in green shirts, and the rich, a group of idle Beijing officials and doctors.

In particular, at this time, it has reached the wax moon, which is close to the end of the year. The emperor wants to worship the heavens, but also to receive the envoys of various countries to the court, those envoys of the Western Regions Huoluo Kingdom, the Eastern Yunmeng Kingdom, the Northern Yuantu Kingdom, the Southern Kamikaze, Liuzhu and other island countries also live in the annex of Yujing City, these people in strange costumes often come out to walk around, watching the prosperity of Yujing, the first big city of Daqian, but it adds more excitement to Yujing City.

Twenty years ago, when the Great Qian defeated the iron cavalry raided by Yunmeng and fought back, the two sides made an alliance at the border pass and never fought again, and the Great Qian Dynasty was in a heyday, and it was the largest dynastic empire on the entire land.

At the end of the 60 years, the prosperous era of the Great Dry has also reached its most prosperous period.

Not to mention the liveliness in the entire Yujing City, the mansion of "Marquis Wu Wen" was also lively, and the servants began to clean, cleaning all corners spotlessly, putting up lights, and preparing for the New Year.

However, regardless of the entire mansion and outside, the bustle of Yujing City is extraordinary, and it has nothing to do with Hong Yi.

Hong Yi had already returned from Xishan, but his mind was completely still in the valley of Xishan.

In the past ten days, I have met a fox, taught, sorted out books, cultivated my soul and practiced martial arts, met Bai Ziyue, drank and talked for four or five days, all of which were like having a clear dream.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion at this time, he had a feeling of being in a different world.

The Hou Mansion is still the Hou Mansion, and it has not changed because he went out. The seven or eight hundred people in the entire Hou Mansion were busy and enthusiastic, preparing for the New Year, only his hut was deserted, and no one came to the door, as if to exclude him.

Those servants, stewards, slaves, and guards will give out some clothes for the New Year, and it is not his turn to pay silver and two.

However, he has money now, and he is not short of those, and when Chunhu moved, he gave him ten red gold coins. Eighty percent of gold can be exchanged for fifteen, let alone ten percent of red gold. Ten red gold coins, if you get the "Golden Jade Hall" to exchange for silver taels, you can exchange them for at least two hundred taels of silver. It's enough for Hong Yi to spend a long time.

"It's best if these people don't come to disturb me, I can close the door and come to practice martial arts and study, in other words, my body has been very comfortable recently, and I feel that my limbs are much stronger. ”

In the fighting room, Hong Yi stood with his legs one after the other, bent his body, grabbed the tendons and flesh of the two thighs with both hands, shook violently, and penetrated the thighs.

Then, he quickly changed his hand and grabbed his calf, and with the same shake, he let go, pressed his stomach forward, and took a step.

This action, grabbing the thigh, grabbing the calf, pressing the belly, and stepping out in one step, it is like a big cow pushing out, but it is not a simple step.

This is exactly one of the actions in the "Bull Demon Top Horn" in the Bull Demon Powerful Fist.

Hong Yi made several movements in a row, and felt that the limbs, abdomen, chest, and large pieces of tendon flesh on his body were obviously hot, full of strength, so he stopped his voice, rolled up his tongue, pressed his teeth, held his breath, and concentrated his arms on the fist, and punched forward in the air.

Hi!

The large pieces of flesh in the whole body shook between the punches, and it seemed that some of their strength was gathered into the fist, and there was an indescribable sense of numbness and strength.

"I'm no longer a powerless scholar. As long as you practice like this, you will get stronger and stronger. Hong Yi sensed the strength of his body, and there was a sense of satisfaction and joy in his heart, which was more down-to-earth.

"It is no wonder that scholars should practice the martial arts of archery and horses, and a strong body can also strengthen their minds and enhance their confidence. ”

Hong Yi finally understood why the scholar also put the martial arts of riding shè in an important position, it turned out that a strong body can also strengthen his mind, and if he is strong, his heart will be stable.

Just like sailing in the sea, the ship is incomparably strong, and people's hearts will naturally be stable, let him rise in the wind and waves, and sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

If the ship is not strong, no matter how stable the heart is, it will be afraid of the coming wind and waves.

With joy in his heart, Hong Yi sat down at the table, opened a martial arts scripture and continued to read and figure it out.

This martial sutra is a collection of the Great Zen Temple, and was annotated by a monk called Yinyue Zen Master. Although there are many kinds of incomplete things in it and cannot be practiced, some of the truths are explained very thoroughly, which can make Hong Yi have a deeper understanding of the "Bull Demon Powerful Fist".

What's more, Hong Yi himself is a jīng Ming reader, and he is best at figuring out the author's meaning from the text.

"I don't know if I've reached the point of martial arts? But I'm afraid not, I've only been practicing for half a month, although Ziyue's 'elixir' wine has given me four or five days to recuperate my body, as well as his careful guidance, but there is still a lack of some heat." ”

Hong Yi thought in his heart, whether he had practiced to the extent that he had trained the large pieces of meat in his body to be firm and full, and had reached the level of martial arts set in the army's "Martial Arts Hall".

Suddenly, there was a steady footstep at the door of the small courtyard.

"Who will come to this little courtyard of mine? Could it be Xiao Ning's maidservant again? Hong Yi pushed open the papier-mâché window and looked over, and was taken aback.

"Boss?"

The person who came was an old man with gray hair and black clothes.

Hong Yi recognized it, this old man was the chief steward of the entire Hou Mansion, neither from Mrs. Zhao of the big room, nor from the second room "Yunting Zhai", let alone the third lady, but the chief housekeeper who was directly responsible for his father Wu Wenhou.

Every time Hong Xuanji dealt with the government in the cabinet of the Forbidden City Palace until late, it was this person who sent clothes and lunch boxes.

When Hong Yi opened the window with a creak, the old manager's eyes also looked over for a moment, as if they were synchronized with the time when Hong Yi opened the window, and there was a sense of foresight.

Seeing Hong Yi, the old manager stopped, nodded, and showed a smile: "Young Master Yi, Master Hou is back, call you over." There is something to say. ”

In the entire Hou Mansion, the only one who was polite to him was this old manager.

Of course, the boss is polite to everyone, and it is rumored that no one has ever seen him angry after so many years.

"What? Father is back, why did you call me, what do you have to say?"

Hong Yi was very shocked in his heart, although Wu Wenhou was his father, he had never seen him a few times, and he had more than ten brothers and sisters, he was only the most inconspicuous and lowest-status one, so it was not Hong Xuanji's turn to call him to speak.

Hong Yi sometimes even doubted that Hong Xuanji knew that he didn't have such a son.

"Oops, the martial arts are **. And it is the seal of the Great Zen Temple. If only my father knew...... Thankfully, the other basic collections are good, but this collection is too late. ”

Hong Yi suddenly remembered something, and immediately made a decision, threw this martial scripture into the brazier, and burned it.

He didn't worry about putting this book in the study, if he went out, if someone came in and found this **, it would be a big trouble.

And now it's too late to collect it.

Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji ruled the family with strict etiquette, and the rules were very strict, so that people must arrive immediately, otherwise they would be subject to family law.

Hong Yi knew that once, the third lady's son Hong Gui was drunk because of drinking, and it happened that Hong Xuanji came back to test his homework, so he didn't send someone to call him late for a long time, but later he had a family meal, his legs were discounted, and he lay in bed for half a year.

Hong Yi saw that the book was burning out in the brazier, put down his thoughts, got up and tidied up his clothes, opened the door, and followed the old manager to meet his father.

Just as he was going out, among the ashes of the burned martial scriptures in the brazier, a piece of paper with a slight dark gold sè suddenly appeared, and it was densely packed with small scriptures, as well as pictures, which seemed to be gold leaf, but they were not burned by the fire.
