In the evening.
Luo Qingzhou returned to the courtyard and boiled water for a bath.
He had to go out tonight, so he came back early today.
There is one last bottle of meat-refining potion.
He decided to use it up directly, allowing his entire body of skin and flesh to store maximum energy, and began to prepare for tendon training.
It is recorded in books that strengthening the tendons requires stretching with gravity, assisted by medicine, and exercises to stretch the tendons and bones such as opening the hips and shoulders, which fundamentally changes the physiological structure of the tendons.
On the one hand, it opens the bone joints, and on the other hand, it enhances the strength and toughness of the tendons, making the tendons more elastic than before, and able to better generate power and transmit strength.
When the muscles are trained to the extreme, they are like strong bows and crossbows, which can burst out with great force between extension and contraction.
One punch can kill an elephant and break rocks and iron.
The punch is as heavy as a mountain and can produce a piercing sonic boom.
The whole body is more agile and flexible than monkeys; the reaction speed is faster than cats and leopards!
At that time, the skin and flesh will have greater explosive power. Ten points of strength can be exploded under the strong elasticity of the tendons!
The whole person seems to have been reborn, as light as a swallow, with infinite strength, as strong as a mountain when still and as fast as the wind when moving. Strength and speed, agility and explosiveness, are perfectly combined!
While taking a bath, Luo Qingzhou carefully reviewed the method of strengthening the tendons in his mind.
After the green water in the bathtub turned into clear water, his skin all over his body had turned red and hot. He could clearly feel a flow of energy inside, which was gradually being absorbed by his muscles.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the courtyard.
It should be Xiaodie who is back.
He stretched his muscles in the tub, then came out, holding his clothes while saying to the outside, "Xiao Die, don't come in yet, I'm taking a shower."
Just as he finished speaking, the window was suddenly opened with a creak.
A pretty figure stood outside the window, stretching her head, opening her eyes wide, and looking at him intently.
Then, he looked somewhere in his direction.
"Small… "
Luo Qingzhou thought it was Xiaodie and was about to scold her, but he found out it was Bailing holding flowers in her hand. His face changed and he hurriedly hid behind the screen next to him and quickly put on his clothes.
Bailing stood outside the window, still looking at him with eyes wide open. Her burning gaze seemed to see through the screen and see him clearly.
Luo Qingzhou suspected that if he had not said that he was taking a shower, the other party would not have opened the window and peeked.
He got dressed and left the house.
Bai Ling, wearing a pink dress and holding a freshly picked flower in her hand, turned around at the window and looked at him strangely.
Luo Qingzhou said with a straight face: "What's the matter?"
Bai Ling smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples on her face, and said, "Son-in-law, it's not even dark yet, why are you taking a bath now?"
Luo Qingzhou turned around and closed the door, saying calmly, "I have to accompany the Second Miss and the Madam out tonight, so I have to wash myself clean to avoid embarrassing them."
Bai Ling laughed, her eyes bright and her teeth white, "My son-in-law obviously went there to give them face, how can it be embarrassing?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "What do you want? If not, I will go to the second young lady."
Bailing sighed: "It's nothing, I just came to tell you that Chanchan and I can't go with you tonight, so I hope you won't blame me."
Luo Qingzhou closed the door and said, "Since Madam and the Second Miss are going, they will definitely bring guards with them. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."
Bai Ling pouted her lips, looked at him dimly and said, "Does it matter? Doesn't the uncle want to see us?"
At this time, Xiaodie came back with dinner.
However, after seeing Bailing, she immediately went into the kitchen obediently.
Bailing explained again: "Uncle, Chanchan didn't go because of the second young lady; I didn't go because I had to accompany the eldest young lady. I came here specifically to tell you, uncle, so that you don't think we don't value you."
Luo Qingzhou was a little confused when he heard this: "Why does Miss Xia Chan not go? Is it related to the Second Miss? Is she not on good terms with the Second Miss? With the Second Miss's temper, she shouldn't..."
Bailing shook her head and said helplessly, "Chanchan is born with a cold body, so when she gets close to the Second Miss, she will cough and then get sick... Oh, both of them are so pitiful."
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he thought of the night when he was in a trance and saw Xia Chan standing outside the door.
At that time, the area around the girl where she was standing, more than ten meters in radius, was all floating with blue ice crystals.
It is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen by the soul.
But some sensitive bodies should be able to feel it.
Miss Qin Er is weak and afraid of the cold. She can probably feel those invisible blue ice crystals clearly, so she can't get close to Xia Chan.
On the contrary, he practices martial arts, has strong blood and energy, and probably has a warm aura floating around him, so when the second lady is around him, she will...
"Son-in-law, stay with the Second Miss, but don't mess around."
Bai Ling warned.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong to other people."
Bai Ling: “…”
"Hmph, my son-in-law has something to say, how annoying! My son-in-law, remember to come back early tonight and don't stay out all night, otherwise the young lady will worry."
Bai Ling snorted and warned, "I heard that there are many talented men and beautiful women on that painting boat, and there are also courtesans invited from brothels. If you linger and do something you shouldn't do, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Son-in-law, have you been very energetic recently? Why are you so angry in broad daylight..."
Having said this, she glanced somewhere teasingly.
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and walked towards the kitchen.
Bai Ling said again: "By the way, uncle, it's already a new month. When do you want to use your chance?"
Luo Qingzhou stopped and deliberately asked, "What opportunity?"
Bai Ling said: "It's a chance to sleep with the young lady."
Luo Qingzhou said directly: "I've been studying hard recently and don't have the heart to think about those things. Miss Bailing, please go back and tell the eldest lady that we can forget about it this month. I believe the eldest lady will be very happy to hear that, right?"
Bailing didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her meaningfully and went into the kitchen.
Bailing left, and said to herself as she walked on the road: "Chanchan sneaked out in the middle of the night last night. She wouldn't come to my place, would she? But... she's not well yet? Probably not. Then this time... As Chanchan's good sister, we share happiness and difficulties. She is not well now, so I should naturally share the work with her, otherwise I..."
"No, no, how can I have such shameful thoughts? Bailing, Bailing, you must have been kissed by your uncle a few times and become stupid, right? You said you wanted to be like the flowers every morning, always pure and innocent, pink and tender..."
Luo Qingzhou had dinner at home.
He originally wanted to take Xiaodie with him, but the little girl felt that there were too many people and there would be a lady who would be difficult to serve, so she didn't dare to go.
She would rather embroider at home.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to go out alone and go to Miss Qin Er's place.
The setting sun is still hanging on the green hills.
The sky is filled with clouds, which fall on the courtyard where flowers are blooming.
Qin Weimo was wearing a plain white skirt and a snow-white fox fur coat. She was standing under the plum tree in the courtyard, slightly tilting her pretty and gentle face, staring at the plum blossoms blooming on the branches, in a daze.
The setting sun fell on her, as if giving her a layer of soft and holy light.
She stood there quietly, soft and weak, yet clear and pure, spotless, with a gentle and clear beauty.
The maids and nannies were all standing quietly not far away, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make a sound to disturb her.
When Luo Qingzhou entered the courtyard, he stopped and stood quietly looking at the beautiful scene of plum blossoms in the sunset and the beautiful woman.
"Cough... cough cough..."
The wind blew.
Qin Weimo coughed a few times before coming to his senses. When he turned around, he saw him.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then her pale face blossomed into a smile that was more heart-moving than the proud plum blossoms on the branches. She said softly, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you say anything when you came?"
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "I'm afraid I'll disturb the Second Miss's pleasure."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, glanced at the plum blossoms on the branches again, and said softly: "I don't have any interest in it. I just saw these winter plum blossoms and thought in my heart..."
After a pause, the girl looked at him and said, "Brother-in-law, tell me, this proud winter plum tree survived the winter, but withered in the spring when all the flowers are in full bloom. Should we be happy or sad?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at the melancholy between her brows, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Some people like prosperity, like bustle, like to compete with others, while others like quietness, like to be alone in their own little world. Maybe others think it is sad, but in fact, it looks at others and thinks that others are really sad. Everyone has their own way of life and their own preferences. Second Miss, just go with the flow and live your life as you please. Thinking too much will only hurt your body."
Qin Weimo looked at him tenderly and said, "Brother-in-law, what you said is very good. I always feel that you can see through Weimo's heart. No matter what Weimo says or thinks, you can know it."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "I just said it casually. I don't deserve such praise from the Second Miss."
Qin Weimo's eyes moved and he smiled, "But there are some things that my brother-in-law still can't see through."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said nothing more.
At this time, Zhu Er stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's getting dark. I guess Madam is ready. We should go out."
Qin Weimo nodded slightly.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er hurriedly supported her on the left and right.
The remaining maids and nannies gathered around him.
Two maids were holding umbrellas to block the wind, and one maid was walking in front to scout the way.
Luo Qingzhou stepped aside.
When Qin Weimo walked up to him, Fang smiled bitterly and said softly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh at me, brother-in-law. When Weimo goes out, many people will have to follow him. Weimo shouldn't have gone out tonight, but mother..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's good for the Second Miss's health to go out and get some fresh air. If the Second Miss goes out to play, they can go out to play with her, so it can't be considered tiring."
Zhu'er said quickly, "My uncle is right, young lady, you don't know, everyone has been very excited since yesterday, thinking about going out to play with you tonight, Qiu'er was so excited that she didn't sleep for half the night last night."
Qiu Er at the side smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Miss, it's like this, everyone is actually very happy to be able to go out, after all, we haven't been out for a long time."
The other maids and nannies also laughed and agreed, and the whole place was in great joy.
Qin Weimo felt everyone's happiness and the relaxed atmosphere, and couldn't help but smile. He turned to look at the boy next to him and said, "Brother-in-law, you see, Weimo always says that you are good at talking. You say something and everyone agrees and laughs."
Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, she smiled and said in a playful tone: "It seems that I will have to ask my brother-in-law to talk to me more often in the future."
Qiu'er quickly agreed with a smile: "Yes, we should ask the uncle to come over and talk to us more often in the future to make us happy."
Everyone laughed and agreed.
Of course, everyone knows who is being made happy.
Luo Qingzhou walked along without daring to say a word.
Qin Weimo glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, with a gentle smile in them, and did not embarrass him anymore.
at the same time.
On the banks of the Moshui River in the city, two luxuriously decorated pleasure boats are already hung with colorful lanterns and exquisite ornaments.
In the lobby of the double-decker cabin, various fruit snacks were being prepared in an orderly manner.
Some guests had already arrived but were not in a hurry to board the boat. Instead, they stood by the river, admiring the beautiful scenery of the river in the evening while gathering together to greet and chat.
Tonight, all the men of letters, scholars, beautiful ladies and even the entertainers from various brothels in Mo City gathered here, ready to enjoy the last grand event before the New Year.
There will be a lot of shows tonight.
Singing and dancing performances, piano and juggling, etc.
But the most eye-catching thing is naturally the poetry competition among talented scholars.
At every banquet, there would be more or less a few writers who became famous for their outstanding works or became well-known for their overnight success.
This brought him more glory and opportunities.
Tonight is obviously also an opportunity.
