82. Yoga
Nanshan Courtyard was full of joy.
Gu Qianxue's recovery is like the snow and ice melting when the frozen land finally meets the spring breeze. Everything revived, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, and the servants became happier.
After recovering, Gu Qianxue ate breakfast, stretched her muscles and bones in the yard, and while doing stretching exercises, secretly vowed that she must start exercising, otherwise she would die if she accidentally fell ill. After all, the level of medical treatment in ancient times was really low. .
"Miss Gu, what did you do?" A maid asked curiously.
I have to say that the maids like this Miss Gu very much. She is not only knowledgeable, but also kind. If everyone knew it well, they would never have imagined that the unassuming Miss Gu was actually an official lady.
In everyone's mind, shouldn't the ladies of the official family be delicate on the surface, who can only recite poems, paint pictures, and play the piano, but in fact they are hypocritical to death
I saw that there was a flat stone slab on the side of the Nanshan courtyard, and a carpet was spread on it, and Gu Qianxue was sitting on the carpet, her feet were in the shape of a horse, her body was leaning forward, her arms were forward, her whole body was almost flat on the ground .
"This movement is part of yoga." Gu Qianxue replied, looking at her expression in pain.
The maids all gathered around, "What is yoga?"
Gu Qianxue said while adjusting her breathing, "Yoga can be regarded as a kind of exercise. It aims to exercise the body's flexibility and promote blood circulation, especially the blood circulation in the pelvis. In addition, the exercise is not too intense, especially suitable for women."
Another servant girl asked cautiously, "Excuse me, Miss Gu, what are the benefits of practicing yoga for women?"
Gu Qianxue said, "There are benefits of course. Although the human body is the same, men and women are very different. Men's fitness focuses on the heart and lungs. Only when the heart and lungs are strong can they have greater strength and faster speed; while women's fitness focuses on the abdomen, Around the pelvis, only when the blood circulation in the pelvis is smooth, the skin will be more delicate, the limbs will be softer, and the complexion will be more rosy."
Not far away, King Li was standing outside the courtyard with Eunuch Shao, Jun An and others, and happened to be able to see every move of Gu Qianxue and the others and hear what they said.
Eunuch Shao wanted to sing in harmony, but was stopped by King Li, presumably because he was curious about what Gu Qianxue would say.
The reason why Gu Qianxue blatantly practiced yoga in the yard was because the room really didn't have much space. The second reason is that there are no men in Nanshan Academy, not even a eunuch.
The daughter's world naturally has fewer scruples.
The maids don't understand the pelvis, blood circulation, and cardiopulmonary function, but they can understand that such exercise can make the skin delicate, the limbs soft, and the complexion rosy, and they are all very excited.
At this time, Gu Qianxue, in the eyes of the maids in the Nanshan courtyard, was no different from the gods that day. She could walk back from the gate of hell in just one day and one night, and she could get out of bed early in the morning and move around freely. The imperial physician is even better.
Women love beauty, and the maids think that Ms. Gu must have many beauty secrets!
A servant girl carefully sized up Nanny Shen, and seeing that Nanny Shen also had an expression of interest, she plucked up her courage and said, "Miss Gu, this servant is bold, can you... teach this servant?"
You know, the other party is a lady from the official family, and because of her status, she wouldn't teach them to be slaves, would she
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianxue immediately agreed, "Okay, wait a minute." She said, took a deep breath, first retracted her arms, then slowly straightened her waist, retracted her legs, and then stood up.
"Who wants to learn?" Gu Qianxue said with a smile.
Most of the maids want to learn, but they are too embarrassed to show it. After all, doing this kind of action in broad daylight is not in line with etiquette.
Gu Qianxue also knew about it, so she didn't force her, and just ordered the two youngest girls, "Come here, you two." The two girls were not yet ten years old, and they combed their two small horns. In fact, there was an unconcealable ignorance on his face, and his eyes were full of expectation.
"This..." The two little girls didn't dare to learn, and peeked at Mother Shen.
Shen Momo smiled slightly, "Go learn it, and teach other girls what you have learned later. Only when we slaves get fit, can we serve our master better."
The two girls finally couldn't hold back their excitement, took off their shoes and jumped onto the carpeted stone slab.
Not far away, Eunuch Shao was taken aback when he saw this scene. You must know that women's feet cannot be easily seen by men. Although the maids are all wearing socks, they are still indecent.
Just when Eunuch Shao was pinching the orchid finger and was about to curse, he was stopped by King Li again. Eunuch Shao shrank his neck and shut up.
On the carpet, Gu Qianxue first took the two little girls to exercise their muscles and bones, did warm-up exercises, and then started to do the yoga pose just now.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" The little girl was already in pain before she lay down.
The maids watching around were shocked.
Gu Qianxue said with a smile, "This movement hurts at the beginning. You have to soften your body. You can only adjust your breathing and let your mind go. The pain will gradually disappear. Come on, follow me."
While talking, Gu Qianxue put her hand on the little girl's back. "Your muscles are tense, try to relax, and then relax...Okay, yes, continue to relax." Gu Qianxue didn't say until the little girl's body completely softened, "Breathe, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, nothing Don't think about it, go ahead and relax."
Sure enough, under Gu Qianxue's instruction, the little girl stopped crying for pain, and after a while, she fell to the ground.
Gu Qianxue secretly exclaimed, it's good to be young, I thought that my fourteen-year-old body was already very soft, but these little girls are softer than her body, and they can make their postures very well with just one move .
"Okay, that's it, keep it up." Gu Qianxue said softly, and then explained in detail for everyone, "Pelvic blood circulation is very important for women. For example, some women have unbearable pain during menstruation, and some women have abnormal fetal position or dystocia. It has something to do with the pelvic blood circulation."
Everyone was surprised, and they tried harder to remember the movements of the two little girls in their hearts, and vowed to practice hard every day in the future.
"Moreover, the benefits of practicing yoga are also very fast." Gu Qianxue said, "It only takes ten days, and you can see that your complexion is rosy."
"Wow!" The maids finally couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, a maid accidentally turned her head, but saw King Li standing not far away with several servants. Startled, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects.
The other maids also turned pale with fright and knelt down to pay their respects.
The most embarrassing ones were the two little girls who were still learning yoga with Gu Qianxue. Because they were too anxious, they wanted to stand up straight away, and they were screaming.
Seeing that everyone had spotted him, King Li walked forward slowly, with arrogance and sarcasm on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Qianxue alone. "This king asked you to come to treat my mother and concubine, but you treat the palace as your own backyard. Do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"
