In a feudal society with strict classes, if you were an ordinary big brother, being teased and teased by girls like this would make you feel unhappy even if you couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Li Rufeng and his sister share the same mother, but their biological mother passed away when they were young. He took great care of and loved his sister, and the brother and sister had a deep relationship.
The brother and sister were drinking tea in the yard. The Mauser rifle that Li Qiyun had secretly obtained from his daughter, who was really annoyed by her daughter's entanglement, was leaning on her left side.
In the eyes of later historians, the failure of the Westernization Movement was an inevitable result. The class limitations of the Westernizationists themselves, as well as the obstacles of the decadent feudal system, doomed the games to end in failure.
Although the movement failed, it reformed and replaced China's weapons.
The tea is Mingqian Longjing. The buds and leaves are stretched in the boiling water, and the plants are bright green. The taste is sweet and delicious, with a soft and fragrant entrance. Gives people a fresh and natural feeling.
Li Rufeng held the tea cup, knocked the tea lid lightly, took a small sip, and sighed with satisfaction: "There are so many good things here, Ji'er."
She pouted: "Okay, I'll give you two taels."
"How about three taels?"
"Okay, send them all to dad."
"Come on, come on, two taels is enough, that's enough."
As a bureaucrat in the evil feudal system, Li Qiyun is also the head of a family with a large number of wives and concubines. He is simply... enviable.
They have six sons and nine daughters, of whom only two are legitimate children, the eldest son Li Rufeng and the second daughter Li Shu (nicknamed Jiuer). They are all produced by the first wife.
Outsiders all know that Li Rufeng, the eldest son, is very talented. I also know that the daughter of the Li family is an old girl who cannot get married.
She is already eighteen years old this year, and she is still waiting to be married. Look at other people's girls. Eighteen-year-old girls are already good at it, but they are just old girls who can't get married.
The legitimate daughter of the Li family has three hobbies: eating, drinking and playing.
It’s just not easy to read.
There are three essences: boiling eagle, rouge, and fighting cricket.
It’s just not a good female beauty.
In an ordinary official family, this girl would have her brains beaten out. However, this is a master who can beat out the brains of everyone in the Li family.
When he was ten years old, he used his family tradition to strengthen his superpowers. He pushed his brother to the ground and rubbed him. When he was thirteen, he pushed his uncle to the ground and rubbed him. When he was fifteen, he pushed his father to the ground and rubbed him.
Li Qiyun entrusted her to a Taoist priest who had a deep connection with the family, hoping that she could follow the Taoist master.
Two years later, my daughter came back after a long journey. When I asked, I found out that she had been expelled from the school. After asking again, it turned out that it was at a Taoism conference that a group of Taoist and Buddhist celebrities took turns beating them up due to some verbal friction.
The master could no longer protect her. In order to continue to gain a foothold in Taoism and Buddhism, he announced on the spot that she would be expelled from the master.
The small temple cannot accommodate this great Bodhisattva. Please leave.
It's not that I gained nothing. In the past two years, I have become proficient in everything from the golden body of the Taoist Thunder Method and the Buddhist Sect to drawing talisman and chanting sutras.
In addition, I have made many friends and gangsters outside. It was she who asked her friends to send Longjing to the capital all the way before Ming Dynasty.
"Brother, what do you want from me?" Li Shu held her chin, tilted her head, and looked at Li Rufeng with a smile.
"It's okay," Li Rufeng denied, "I just came to see you."
"Liar." Li Shu frowned and said, "You didn't even change your clothes. You just came back to my house and came to my yard, and you said you were fine."
She has been keen and smart since she was a child. Li Rufeng thought for a while and said calmly: "I want to ask you something."
Li Shu said "hmm".
"What you told me last time was about strengthening a realm..." Li Rufeng laughed twice awkwardly: "Brother, I went back and thought about it for more than half a year and came up with some ideas, but there was always a window missing. Paper cannot be poked through."
The concept of strengthening a realm was proposed by my sister Li Shu. Her analysis was sound and well-founded. Li Rufeng went back and studied it carefully and felt that it was feasible, but due to his talent, he was stuck at a bottleneck.
It's like having sex with a beautiful lady on your wedding night, but you can't take off your pants and you can't pierce them. It's so uncomfortable.
"You know, brother. Strengthening strength and strengthening materials are just the most superficial uses of "strengthening" abilities. It is a waste of resources for tribesmen to use it to refine weapons. Strengthening abilities are not weapon refining abilities. They are a kind of evolution."
"In addition to material things, our superpowers can also strengthen some invisible energy. Both you and father can strengthen qi, so you understand what I mean. And you are better than father, you can strengthen spiritual power. Father is stupid in nature, I’m afraid I won’t be able to touch this threshold in this life.”
Li Rufeng laughed dryly. It was disrespectful to talk about his father behind his back. The girl dared, but he didn't.
"So after you have strengthened your strength, energy, and spirit at the same time, what's the next step? Is there still room for development of this superpower in our family? I didn't understand it when I was ten years old, and I still didn't understand it when I was thirteen. You know, when I was fifteen, I figured it out.”
At this point, she ordered: "Ruyi, break three branches and bring them over."
The maid, with a soft voice and a soft body, twisted her round buttocks, stood on tiptoes, and reached out to break branches.
Li Rufeng's eyes were inevitably drawn to the young girl's beautiful figure. If compared with the young lady, she is a bit inferior, but Ruyi is also a first-rate beauty. Almond eyes, peach cheeks, dark eyebrows and curved eyebrows, standing tall and graceful.
Li Shu kicked her eldest brother under the table and winked: "It's not easy to want, so I'll give it to you. I'll take care of the jealous woman in your room."
Li Rufeng's eldest son, the future heir to the Li Mansion, is 25 years old this year. He only has one wife and two maidservants who followed him over there. In addition, he does not have any concubines.
How shameful.
Even her younger sister can't stand it.
Li Rufeng shook his head and sighed: "The current situation is turbulent, how can I have the time to indulge in sex."
Didn't say no.
"Because the current situation is turbulent, I want to find a good family for Ruyi. I don't know when or what month I can get married. I will keep her for a few more years at most, and then I will let her get married. The wealth will not flow away. Brother Tianma, an outsider."
At this time, a soft voice sounded from the side: "Miss, the tree, the branches are here..."
Ruyi's face was red and she looked very shy.
Li Shu took the branch, held it in his hand, and used the strengthening power. The three branches seemed to have been imbued with some kind of power, and were covered with a layer of dark black lines, making them harder than iron.
"The three branches represent strength, energy, and spirit respectively. Now they have been strengthened by me. Brother, try if you can break them."
It wasn't difficult. Li Rufeng put the branch in his palm and exerted force silently, causing the branch to break.
"If you wish, break three more."
Three branches were broken, and Li Shu gathered them together and used the strengthening power.
"Brother, try breaking them."
This time, Li Rufeng did not break the branch immediately. He took a deep breath and held both ends of the branch. The muscles in his arms were wrinkled, blue veins were bulging, and his face was red.
"Kacha!"
Three branches were broken.
"Has your enhanced power reached this level?" Li Rufeng gasped, dumbfounded.
"Yeah." Li Shu said casually and changed the subject: "Look, this is to strengthen a realm."
"make it clear... ."
Li Rufeng felt that his IQ was being rubbed in front of the girl, but it had been like this since he was a child and he was used to it. When he was fifteen years old, his sister really pushed him to the ground and rubbed her.
Such a small little boy suddenly grew up and became even more powerful than him. What did this girl eat to grow up? Is it because we are not drinking milk from the same wet nurse
"Three branches, even if they are strengthened, can be easily broken together because they are still branches in nature."
"Were they not branches just now?"
"Yes, they have evolved. I can only describe them as evolution. Remember, the first time I strengthened them individually, the second time I strengthened them together."
"..."
Li Rufeng still didn't understand. If there was an Internet in the Qing Dynasty, he would have given the girl a black question mark, or replied: "What are you talking about?"
"The first strengthening, just like the big brother's current state, can strengthen the strength, energy and spirit at the same time, but their increase is not large. If you encounter a more powerful opponent, you will still be defeated. But if you can combine the three elements of spirit, energy and spirit Unite them into one, and then strengthen this "one", and you will be invincible in the same realm and fight across levels."
This time, Li Rufeng understood and asked his doubts: "How to achieve the three-in-one of essence, energy and spirit."
Li Shu shook his head: "The Tao can be taught, but it is not the eternal Tao."
After that, he stretched and yawned with a lazy voice: "Autumn is sleepy, summer is weak, and winter is weak. Spring is the best time to sleep. As you wish, see you off."
Li Rufeng stood in the yard, watching her enter the house and close the door. He felt like... He had taken off his pants, but found that he couldn't get them up. It was so uncomfortable.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the third day, something big happened in Li's house.
Just after noon today, the eldest son Li Rufeng, who had gone out with Li Qiyun early in the morning, came back. He was carried back and was dying.
After Li Shu received the news, she rushed to her brother's house with her skirt in hand and saw him with a bloodless face on the roof.
At this moment, he had actually recovered and was out of danger. He just looked haggard and weak.
The sister-in-law was sitting in the outer room crying, holding the ignorant child in her arms.
Father and uncle stood beside the bed. They were in the prime of life, but they had aged twenty years overnight, and their temples were turning gray.
"What's going on?" Li Shu frowned.
The uncle didn't say anything, but the father waved his hand and looked at the jewel in his eye, his precious daughter: "My dear, another day, I'll have your sister-in-law and nephew go back to the countryside to stay in a village for a few days. You can go too."
Obviously, her father did not intend to tell her. Li Shu looked at his father steadily and said, "Okay."
Li Rufeng was not injured. He was brought back because his body was severely worn out. After two days of rest, he could no longer see any difference from usual.
The Li Mansion was calm, nothing happened, and there were no unfavorable rumors about the Li Mansion. The night before Li Shu left the Li Mansion, a distinguished guest suddenly came to the house.
After opening the middle door and sweeping the courtyard, the kitchen was busy, as if a banquet was about to be held.
King Duan is here, and he is accompanied by the immortal figure Zhao Ying of Boxing.
