Long Er's new marriage is happy, but he didn't expect that his guard, Li Ke, began to have troubles. He was entangled by a girl.
That girl is none other than Su Qing.
Ever since Su Qing was rescued by Li Ke, she began to think about one thing.
She took some food and went to Longfu to find Li Ke. Li Ke was very surprised, but the little girl said that it was her old age, and she thanked her for saving her life on the mountain that day.
Li Ke was taken aback, the Lantern Festival is over, Miss Ju has become the second wife of his family, Su Qingbai's old age is really late enough.
Li Ke took the things and thanked him. Su Qing didn't leave yet: "I still want to talk to Brother Li."
narrative
Li Ke scratched his head. He has been working in the Dragon Mansion for so many years, but there are really maids who are shy and talk to him. There are many ways in this narration, and Li Ke also knows it. Apart from his own experience, Li Ke can also know the meaning just by watching the narration of the girl's family looking for the second master. But for some reason, there were girls who asked him to talk to him, but they always stopped talking after a few times, and he couldn't tell a daughter-in-law in the end.
But now that Su Qing was frankly talking to him, Li Ke didn't think it meant that much. Firstly, it was because Su Qing was young, and secondly, Li Ke always felt that she was the same as his second wife. Hurry up, there are many thieves.
So it should be different from those maid girls in the past. Fortunately, it was different, so Li Ke dared to agree to "talk" to her.
Li Ke lived in the guard's yard, and felt that it was inconvenient to bring a little girl back, so he took Su Qing to visit the Dragon Mansion. Su Qing looked here and there, showing curiosity but not envy, she just casually asked where this was and where it was, as if she had nothing to say.
Li Ke waited for her to speak, thinking that she probably wanted to ask about the second master, and help the second wife to find out. But after waiting and waiting, finally when Su Qing said something serious, she said, "Brother Li, please accept me as your apprentice."
Li Ke opened his mouth wide in shock.
"It is to teach me martial arts, and I worship you as my teacher."
Li Ke was speechless. As a loyal and upright guard, he didn't think it was appropriate for him to establish a master-student relationship with his master's wife's righteous sister.
Su Qing saw that he was not happy, and said again: "I will give the money."
Li Ke was suspicious, this girl is not so poor, where did she get the money? Su Qing understood his eyes again, and said: "I don't have any money right now, but I will have some money later, and I can provide for the old man."
Li Ke asked the sky speechlessly. Although Li Ke is not talented, his monthly income is quite a lot. He has sound limbs and a healthy body. He will never be reduced to the miserable situation of asking a little flower girl to take care of him.
Of course God didn't answer, but Su Qing emphasized it again: "Really, I can provide for the elderly."
Facing her seemingly sincere face, Li Ke finally squeezed out a sentence: "Girl, just take care of your mother."
"That means the master can teach me martial arts without my old age, right?"
"No." Li Ke really wanted to escape.
"What's that like?"
"I... I can't randomly recruit apprentices."
"I didn't ask you to collect it randomly, but to collect it seriously."
Li Ke took a deep breath, and finally came up with a sentence: "Well, you know, I am the guard of the Dragon Mansion, not a martial artist who opened a martial arts gym on the street to recruit disciples."
"I know, I think you are more trustworthy than the martial arts master who opened the martial arts gym, and the martial arts hall has to collect money first."
Li Ke sighed in his heart. So it's not a question of trustworthiness, but a question of not being able to use credit for pensions. How did she come up with this? There is really no ordinary person beside the second lady.
Li Ke thought for a while and said: "What I mean is, I am the guard of the Dragon Mansion, and I am under the care of the second master, so whether I can accept apprentices is not up to me, and the second master must nod."
This reason is very good, Su Qing thought about it and accepted: "That's fine, I'll talk to my sister and the second master. Master, wait for my good news."
Who is your master? Where can this be good news
Before Li Ke could react, Su Qing had already waved goodbye smartly and left.
On the sixth day after Ju Muer passed the door, Long Eryili accompanied her to Guining and went back to the Jujia Winery. Su Qing quietly told Ju Muer about her wanting to learn martial arts, and begged her to give the second master a pillow breeze, and asked him to agree. Ju Muer's heart skipped a beat and she knew what Su Qing meant. This girl is very smart, after being robbed, she didn't ask any more about the things she entrusted, as if she had never heard anything, but now she is making precautions.
Ju Muer readily agreed, she has dragged Su Qing down, so she must do something for her. It is also good for Su Qing to learn some martial arts for self-defense.
I didn't expect to tell Long Eryi about this, but Long Er was inspired. He felt that Mu'er of his family was weak in body and bones, and his arms and legs ached after being served by the family law for two days, so he should strengthen his muscles and bones.
So Second Master Long ordered to go down, and Li Ke will take Su Qing as his apprentice from now on. And the second master himself planned to teach his daughter-in-law how to practice martial arts.
Ju Muer's cleverness is fully revealed by peeing. She has a photographic memory, listens to music and distinguishes sounds, reads poems and books, writes with spirit, not to mention her ability to play the piano. But she has one shortcoming that may be regarded as a shortcoming-snooze and do not like to move.
She can sleep for half a day and play the lyre, but she is not willing to run and dance for half an hour. She is talented in reading and writing, but she is not interested in things like martial arts and dancing.
So when Long Er announced that he was going to teach her how to practice martial arts, her reaction was dumbfounded.
Long Er said it again, and she continued to remain dumbfounded.
Long Er poked her on the head: "Study hard and practice hard, you know? Don't waste Master's time."
After being poked, Ju Mu'er's expression stopped, she wrinkled her face and turned into crying without tears.
Although Ju Muer didn't dare to say it or not, Long Er knew her too well. Looking at her dawdling little figure, and thinking of her frail body, she sleeps too much and walks slowly, it is certain that his daughter-in-law is definitely not happy.
But it doesn't matter if you don't like it, it's time for the man to show his iron fist.
So this matter is a certainty and cannot be refuted. Long Er has also figured it out, Ju Muer can't see, so the training must be simple, and it is only for strengthening the body, so it is good to practice horse stance and use fists and feet.
Ju Mu'er herself was so unwilling to move, she thought up all kinds of excuses in her heart and planned to refuse when the time came. But that day, Long Er went to the government office to inquire about the robbery case, and learned that Qiu Ruoming still had no clue, the case had no progress, and the two escaped robbers were nowhere to be seen. As for Long Mansion, the spies did not find any useful clues, which made Long Er very unhappy.
After hearing the news, Ju Muer swallowed all the excuses for not wanting to practice martial arts. She decided to listen to Long Er and practice.
On the first day, Long Er first taught her the simplest one - standing on horseback.
He held his hand and patiently helped her adjust her posture, but within less than a cup of tea, her legs were shaking like cramps. At night, when he touches her, he howls in pain, making a husband like him feel like a beast even if he wants to "use family law" to his daughter-in-law.
Of course he is no beast. So he held back his resentment and helped his wife soak her feet and rub her legs. Rubbing and rubbing, the daughter-in-law screamed in pain, and he was so hot that the couple were so sad that they didn't fall asleep until midnight.
The next day, Second Master Long decided to let her practice punching instead. It couldn't be simpler, just throw a right fist, retract it, throw a left fist, and retract it again. But to practice this, you still need to stand on horseback, but thinking of yesterday's tragedy, Long Er offered to help Ju Mu'er be lazy, he said that it is enough to stand up and practice, and there is no need to pay attention to horseback posture.
He doesn't pay much attention anymore, and of course Ju Muer doesn't pay much attention. So she stood casually, punching left and right and started practicing.
Long Er looked at it for a while and couldn't help rubbing his forehead and turning his face. It's okay to stand ugly yesterday, but today it's just a punch, so what's the matter with the upper body of a ghost
I couldn't bear to look at it, but suddenly I heard a bang. Long Er was startled, and turned around to see that Ju Muer had fallen to the ground. Long Er hurried over to help her, seeing Ju Mu'er's clothes dirty, she pursed her lips and looked aggrieved.
Long Er was stunned again and again, and couldn't help but want to laugh. It's nothing more than the upper body of the ghost, and he can throw himself with a fist while standing. This kind of ability, well, he can't think of any suitable words to describe it.
Long Er couldn't stop laughing, but Ju Mu'er blushed and continued to practice, and didn't even bother to give him a supercilious look.
That night, Ju Muer not only had pain in her legs, but her arms also hurt badly. Second Master Long was so depressed that smoke came out of his head. In addition to rubbing his daughter-in-law's legs, he also had to rub her arms. After a busy night, he didn't take any of the benefits that a husband should have. This night, the couple didn't fall asleep until midnight.
On the third day, Second Master Long was in a bad mood, and he was quite irritable when he woke up in the morning. Ju Muer fell asleep, he didn't disturb her, washed up and had breakfast by herself, then went to the study building. While he was busy, his mind was distracted, thinking that going on like this was not the way to go. If he practiced like this, his Mu'er didn't do anything well, and he was afraid that he would suffer from illness. But he retreated after only two days, so what is his majesty in front of his wife
He didn't think of a solution until the afternoon, but it was time for Ju Muer to practice again, and Long Er walked over listlessly. Today he didn't want her to squat, nor did he want her to practice punching. He thought about it, and let her make gestures and move her arms and feet.
Ju Muer's eyes are invisible, so Long Er can't show her the gestures, and of course he can't slap himself and say that you can move as you like, so he pretended to take Ju Muer's arm seriously, and helped her adjust her posture .
Ju Muer gritted her teeth and studied hard enduring the pain in her legs and arms, but unfortunately, her dancing movements can only be described as horrible. She knew it when she thought about it, and she was very frustrated with a bitter face.
Long Er sighed inwardly, and began to feel that his idea of wanting her to practice martial arts was so bad that it couldn't be worse. Not to mention that she has no talent in this area, what's worse, he seems to have shot himself in the foot with a stone.
Sure enough, for three consecutive days, Ju Muer ached here and there, and her whole body ached. Second Master Long only had one pain, and the pain made his heart tremble, and he regretted it endlessly.
On the fourth day, Second Master Long sincerely asked his wife to rest for a few days. Ju Muer's fighting spirit was indeed tortured by the first three days, so she was lazy for a few days, ate and slept, slept and ate, and took good care of her sore arms and legs. But the soreness was slightly better, so Long Erye threw her on the bed and implemented the "family law".
The couple danced in the spring light every night for two consecutive days, practicing charming kung fu. After repeated tossing and tossing, Ju Muer felt that the physical strength consumed was no worse than practicing martial arts.
In this way, the life of the couple is sweet and greasy. Although there are some unsatisfactory things, in general, Long Er is quite satisfied with the life after marriage.
On this day, a visitor came to the Dragon Mansion, saying that he wanted to see the second wife, Ju Mu'er.
Long Er frowned when he received a report from his servant in the library, he put down his business and went to see him in person.
It was Qian Jiangyi who came. He came to Ju Muer because of a state matter.
"A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites and the Music Department sent people to my piano hall, saying that a group of violin masters from the Ximin Kingdom would visit our country. It was obvious that they wanted to worship each other's piano skills, but the intention of provoking competition was obvious. I am Xiao Guo's violin master It is famous all over the world, so the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and made a special decree that in addition to the luthiers from the Yuesi Mansion, some folk luthiers will also be selected to fight together to show off the national skills."
Long Er was a little impatient, and said politely, "Mr. Qian has outstanding skills, and he was selected by Lesi Mansion. I'm really happy to congratulate you."
Qian Jiangyi bowed his head and saluted a few words modestly, and then said: "Lesi Mansion asked me to nominate a few more, I think of Miss Ju..." Seeing Long Er's eyes crossed at this point, he came to his senses and quickly changed his words, "Ah, yes Mrs. Long. I remembered that Mrs. Long is also quite famous in the art of playing the zither, so I came here to invite you to the grand event, which is also considered to be a contribution to the honor and disgrace of the country."
Long Er frowned, he didn't like Qian Jiangyi's last big hat pressed down very much. Three generations of generals from his Long family fought on the battlefield. His grandfather was the founding general, and his father died for the country. Now the eldest of his family still protects his family and country with the name of a great general. It's really absurd for this little luthier to come to his Dragon Mansion to teach him such things as contributing to the country.
Seeing Long Er's expression, Qian Jiangyi was panicked. He didn't know why, when he saw Second Master Long twice, he felt that he was overbearing, and he felt nervous for no reason. Fortunately, he was still thinking about the purpose of this trip, so he said, "I wonder if it's convenient for Mrs. Long to see me?" ?”
Long Er stared at him, thinking to stop him and send him away. But then I thought about the half a month that Mu'er married into his house, although she didn't complain much, but the affairs she came into contact with every day were different from those at home. He had never seen her play the piano, would she not get used to it, would she Don't you feel bored
Thinking of this, Long Er sent his maid to call Ju Muer. If she is interested in competing with other country's qin masters, he will let her go.
Ju Muer came, and after hearing what Qian Jiangyi said, she was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "I have been neglecting to practice the piano for a while, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility. Besides, I am a woman now." , it’s better not to show your face.”
Qian Jiangyi was very surprised by Ju Muer's refusal, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Madam Long, the chief luthier of Ximin Country is a woman, and the candidates recommended by Yuesi Mansion and us are all men except you." Musician. I've thought about it, and I can't think of a woman with better piano skills than you, so I ask Miss Ju to think again."
Are you saying this, because you are afraid that men will fight women, even if you win Qin, you will not be majestic enough
Ju Muer shook her head: "The art of playing the piano is not limited to men and women, nor to age. Mr. Qian, don't worry about it." She reached out her hand in Long Er's direction and called out, "Sir."
Long Er understood what she meant in an instant, and she wanted to use his power to push things away. Long Er was happy that she relied on him. He curled the corners of his mouth and said to Qian Jiangyi: "Mr. Qian, my wife understands clearly, and I don't like her showing her face very much. I am quite familiar with Tian Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. , if Mr. Qian feels that this matter is not easy to deal with, I can personally go to the Lesi Mansion to refuse this matter, so as not to embarrass Mr. Qian, is that good?"
Qian Jiangyi waved his hands hastily. He understands the meaning of this. They have brought out Tian Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites, so what else can he, a commoner luthier, say? He hurriedly saluted, said goodbye and left.
Long Er sent Ju Muer back to the dormitory, and asked her on the way: "Do you really don't want to play the piano?"
Ju Muer shook her head: "I only like to play for my husband."
Long Er pinched her earballs: "Are you provoking me to punish you again?"
Ju Muer covered her ears and took two quick steps forward to hide. She walked with Long Er in Longfu, and she was used to not holding a bamboo stick.
Long Er took a big step and caught her. Seeing her startled and laughing, he couldn't help laughing too. He held her in his arms and asked, "Then what do you do on weekdays?"
Ju Muer said seriously: "I'd better practice martial arts."
Practice martial arts
Long Er's face turned green.
"Doesn't Mr. Xiang also hope that I can practice well?"
Don't need to remind him of such a stupid thing.
"Sir, I want to practice hard."
Long Er gritted his teeth, has he been retaliated against again
Ju Muer really continued to practice, but she changed her master to Feng Wu. This matter made Long Er jealous, quite dissatisfied, and Ju Mu'er suffered a few "family law", which finally made her second master happy.
As for Qian Jiangyi, he hasn't come to lobby since that time, and no one has come to find Ju Mu'er again to talk about the Ximin country's coming to play the piano. Long Er thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't expect it to be just the beginning .
On this day, Long Da promised to take his son Long Qingsheng to buy a knife, and Long Qingsheng wanted to take Bao'er with him so that she could see how majestic he was wearing the knife, so Long Da also took Bao'er with him.
Feng Wu accompanies Ju Muer to practice. She was nibbling melon seeds and sipping fragrant tea, and said sincerely: "Mu'er, your horse gait is the ugliest I have ever seen, stop practicing, you are wasting your energy."
Ju Muer shook her legs, panted heavily, and tried to stand for a while longer, but when she heard Feng Wu say this, she responded, "Fengfeng, your outspokenness really lifted my spirits."
Feng Wu propped her chin and sighed: "Take a rest after the vibrating."
Ju Muer shook her head and continued to insist.
Feng Wu said again: "Practice martial arts is to be beaten. If you can't stand well, you can whip two whips on your legs, and if you don't move properly, you can punch a few times. Remember the pain, and the posture will be right next time."
Ju Muer gritted her teeth and shook her legs and continued to insist: "I don't need to be beaten to be in pain."
"But your posture is so ugly. I dare not slap your legs, and the second uncle should also be reluctant to beat you. You say, how can you practice well like this?"
Ju Muer couldn't hold on any longer, and sat down on the ground. Feng Wu hurried over to help her: "Come here, sit here for a while, have a cup of tea, don't work too hard. Although the second uncle is stingy and stingy, he won't let you perform on the street, so you practice this really Useless."
Ju Mu'er didn't have the strength to respond to her, so she took the tea she handed her and drank it down, then sat and panted hard.
