When it comes to health-preserving exercises, the most suitable one is Wu Qin Xi. It imitates the posture of the five animals to move the body, the movements are simple and soothing, and the opening and closing are smooth. It can stretch the muscles and bones, relax the blood, and does not require sudden force like ordinary boxing, and will not leave internal injuries due to excessive force.

Xie Ying then said, "If it's just a child's practice, and you don't need it yourself, then Wuqinxi is good; if you want to practice boxing for self-defense, Taizu Changquan is also good."

Cui Xie said with a smile: "No, no, there are Jinyi guards patrolling in Beijing now, what kind of trouble can I encounter in Beijing if I do it well? I'm not humble enough to say, I really meet some evil young murderers on the road. They must be hitting me, or I must be hitting them."

Xie Ying held his fingers and said, "Then it's Wu Qin Xi, I'll teach you the hand shape first."

Wuqinxi has to imitate five kinds of animals and animals. Naturally, it is not like boxing with an empty fist and punching from the beginning to the end. In each play, a different hand shape is required: the tiger claws should be slightly hooked with the five fingers; the deer antlers should bend the middle and ring fingers. The other three fingers are straight and imitating the state of the antlers and branches; the bear's paw should be rounded by the tiger's mouth, like an empty fist; the ape's hook should be gently squeezed with the fingertips; the bird's wings should be hooked in the direction of the back of the hand with the thumb, food, and little finger, like a bird grazing wing…

Xie Ying is usually gentle and gentle, but he is very strict in teaching. Whichever finger is placed at any angle, he has to calibrate it himself. Holding Cui Xie's hand into the air, he can feel the state of his palm and arm.

However, Cui Xie only felt that his arms were really long. He supported his hands from behind and stretched them to the same length as him effortlessly.

The legs are also long.

Sitting on his lap, the soles of his feet would be unrealistic.

Cui Xie stepped on it hard, and only regretted that he didn't add a booster pad before going out. But adding a heightening pad is inconvenient to practice martial arts, and it is quite embarrassing to take it out in the middle. Sooner or later, it will have to reveal the original height.

wrong! Can't think so! It's not that his legs are short, it's that Xie Ying's thighs are too thick, raising him up a piece. If the two were sitting side by side, it wouldn't be that big of a difference!

Cui Xie found out the real reason for his short legs, and he felt relieved immediately, and stretched out his free hand to measure his thigh. He actually just wanted to feel it, but he just pressed his hand to the side of the leg and didn't squeeze a few times, the muscles, the two legs, and Xie Ying's body were suddenly tense, and he was correcting his hand shape. His hands fell, clasping his arms and waist, making him unable to move.

Xie Ying turned her head and whispered behind his ear: "If you keep pinching like this, I don't care whether the family will come in or not."

He rubbed Cui Xie's legs in turn, patted his buttocks through his clothes, and helped him stand up: "Let's go to dinner first, and take a break after eating before using force."

Because I wanted to practice martial arts, I didn't prepare wine for dinner, and only made some simple meals. After eating in a hurry, the two of them sat and rested for a while. The servants of the Xie family moved out the tables and chairs in the hall, leaving only a spacious and clean hall, and sent them a large and light lining and soft-soled shoes for them to change. superior.

Lights are lit in the house and in the courtyard. It was cool at night, only one window in the corner of the main hall was left for ventilation, and the rest of the windows were closed.

Across the window, you can see the two of them posing in a tiger-like posture in the room.

Xie Ying gave a demonstration first, and then stood beside Cui Xie to correct his posture. The shape of his hands has been adjusted just now, and his tiger claws are placed in a similar manner. No matter if he raises his hand to support the sky or when he is jumping forward, the position of his arms is also accurate, but the opening and closing of his legs and the inclination of his waist still need to be adjusted. .

Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, your body and spirit relaxed, and your legs a little higher and lower, all of which will affect your strength.

The two people's bodies are not close together, even if the family members in the courtyard look at the image reflected by the lamp, they don't feel that there is anything wrong. But Xie Ying's hand was always on the back of Cui Xie's waist, sometimes sticking to it, or sliding to his side. Hold his waist with one hand, and hold his arms or bend his legs with the other, and teach him to adjust his posture forward and backward.

Half of Cui Xie's body was stiff, and his muscles tightened wherever his hands went. It felt like a soft silk garment wrapped in hard china. Xie Ying squeezed lightly on his waist and shouted in a low voice, "Sink your waist down and relax your legs. How can you maintain your health if this posture is not in place? If you are too stiff, you will damage your muscles and bones!"

Cui Xie asked him to feel his waist and legs weak, so he could only stretch it desperately, how could he dare to relax? He could only shake his head, and said in a low voice, "Don't touch my waist! You make me feel... that... I'm ticklish."

He didn't even want to pose, he grabbed Xie Ying's hand, wondering if he wanted to get it down, or if he wanted to press it into his arms. Xie Ying asked him to put a hand on his waist, but he refused to pull his hand hard, and only reminded in a low voice: "Relax. I like you to hold me and not let go. Wouldn't you be afraid to have someone look at it?"

Cui Xie curled his lips, held back his entanglement and let go, and glanced at him resentfully. Xie Ying laughed lightly, but stopped teasing him, let go of his hands and told him to pose himself, only when he made a mistake, he straightened his body with his hands, and then told him to maintain that position to find out for himself.

After the tiger pounce was retracted, another hand was placed in front of the chest, and the hips and abdomen were raised. Xie Ying demonstrated for herself, touched the back of the neck with her right hand, turned her head and said, "From the legs, waist to the neck, it is drawn into a bow shape like this, the body is tensed, the feet are on the ground, and it is necessary to firmly support it so as not to fall. However, beginners tend to be too nervous and dare not lean back, so that the muscles and veins cannot be stretched…”

He walked around behind Cui Xie, stretched out his hands, and told him to fall backwards.

"Don't stretch your body too tight, don't worry, fall back, and I'll hold you. If you try it slowly by yourself, I don't know how long it will take you to lean back to the right place."

Cui Xie responded with a smile, closed his eyes and fell back without any pressure. The hands that were supposed to be behind his back moved away at this moment, and Cui Xie swayed his upper body in the air, and fell firmly into a firm embrace.

Xie Ying looked down at him and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to bend so low, I'll hold you to a suitable position." He asked Cui Xie to relax his back and hold him on his shoulders. Holding it to a suitable position, he lowered his head and kissed the center of his forehead.

Cui Xie looked at his depressed face, only to feel that all the candlelight in this room was shining on his face, making this person so dazzling, it was as if people would be captured at a glance. He couldn't help but slightly closed his eyes, tilted his head down, and kissed his lips with great effort and as if fluttering.

The two were standing with their backs to the window, and from the outside, only Xie Ying could be seen raising his hand to support Cui Xie, posing in a tiger-pushing posture, and heard his solemn instruction: "Your junior brother's age. He is still young, his muscles and bones are soft, and his legs and feet are unstable. When practicing, tell him not to be greedy, but to just lean up here. Going back, you also ask him to practice stance kung fu, and stable legs and feet are the foundation of all martial arts.”

Cui Xie gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You also have to practice your waist strength. Otherwise, with this posture, you will suddenly become unstable, and you will not know where you are going."

Just this first form, I practiced for half a night.

When the servants of the Xie family sent water to invite Cui Xie to take a bath, they kindly reminded him: "Young Master Cui is afraid that he is busy with the imperial examinations these days, so he has delayed his martial arts training, but he didn't have so much effort when practicing swordsmanship. This martial arts also needs to be practiced every day. Yes, the young master has a hard time studying, learn more from us adults, it will be good for your body."

Cui Xie smiled meaningfully: "Little brother is right. I also know that I should practice martial arts a lot, but I have to go to school on weekdays and go to the teacher's house to study. In the future, I will often come to ask Brother Xie for advice.”

Wuqinxi has five forms, at least you have to learn it for five days, ten days, ten days and a half months, right? Now Cui Xie's martial arts foundation is about to be exhausted by the imperial examination. His fists and feet are always not in place. When he has time, he runs to Xie's house. .

In addition to practicing martial arts, Xie Ying also told him about the situation in the DPRK and China, the dispositions of the emperor and ministers.

At present, Cui Xie is not very interested in the privacy of the ministers, and he is more interested in the fourteen thousand households - although there are many thousand households on the market, he has no time to watch them all, so he can only hold a pen and paper Please Xie Ying tell him about it, sort out the characters by himself, and set up the characters in advance.

In any case, the thousands of households in the new drama have to appear in plain clothes, and their accessories must be eye-catching and distinctive, and they must not all wear official uniforms until the finale. Otherwise, these fourteen Qianhutong are all wearing green official uniforms, and most of them are small white faces. They can only distinguish their identities by the color of their capes. Wouldn't they have become double gourd babies!

This drama is really bad...

As soon as Xie Ying heard this idea, he knew that he did it to promote his identity, and his heart was hot, and he couldn't help holding his hand: "You are busy with studies, how can you do this kind of thing for me. I was promoted to Zhengzhen Fu Envoy, this position is actually more powerful than a matter of fact and Tongzhi, you can rest assured and don't have to think about me all day long."

Cui Xie said frankly: "I'm not trying to get you a promotion, I just don't mind that they also write this kind of crime-solving drama and use my people in the drama - this Yun is obviously a good subordinate I wrote for you!"

Alas, isn't that the case with writing plays? Those people only care about being famous, and they don't think about anything else. It is useless to be angry with them, it will only make you depressed.

Xie Ying sighed slightly, hugged Cui Xie and said lovingly, "They use your people, let's use their people, and use their reputation to add luster to your play."

He asked people to search the Jinyiwei theater books on the market, while teaching Wuqinxi, and in the gap between martial arts, he told Cui Xie about the great achievements of his colleagues in the theater. It's just that he also meets these people every day in reality. In contrast to the image of Yingwei who is one-of-a-kind in the play, he can't help but want to laugh when he tells stories.

Although he did not speak very well, Cui Xie couldn't help listening to him, and he talked to him every day, too lazy to read the academy books by himself. The two spend so much time every night, and they get along longer and more comfortably than when they met on the 15th day of the first day.

One day, two days, three days after this kind of life... They all have the illusion that the years to come will be able to live so secretly and intimately.

However, within a few days, this illusion was suddenly shattered.

When Cui Xie went to Xie's house again, the old steward of Xie's family informed him that Xie Ying was not at home and sent a handwritten letter from Xie Ying. There is only one thing written in it: the East Palace will marry the Concubine Yuan, and the whole court will be busy with the selection of ladies in the northern Zhili palaces. They have to follow the eunuchs to select the guards, and they have to suppress the unrest among the people. They have to be busy for a while, and he can no longer go to the office on time.

He also reminded Cui Xie that if there are relatives and daughters of the right age in the family who do not want to enter the palace, they can get married as soon as possible.

Cui Xie held the letter in both hands, his eyes were blank, and a thought flashed in his mind - the prince is going to choose a concubine! The future Emperor Hongzhi is going to choose a queen!

Then why don't Xie Ying work overtime until the prince gets married

Next year will be the 23rd year of Chenghua. It is estimated that the emperor should die after the prince gets married. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely have to deal with the henchmen of Concubine Wan, and the people must be stuffed into the prison, so how long will he be able to commute to get off work normally as a town assistant!
