Chapter 35 New Year's greetings
call!
It was hard to draw the operation diagram of the exercise in my mind. Although the accuracy of the drawing is not as fine as in my mind, the meridians and acupoints of the routes of the exercise are accurate!
"Qinglian, this is the operation diagram of the kung fu method. The operation route of absorbing Haotian Gangqi is clearly marked. You continue to watch carefully, and then combine it with the Xuanyin Jue kung fu method. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask me immediately. Let's go!" Du Long immediately confessed to Xia Qinglian after handing over the operation diagram of the exercise.
"En! Mr. Xie!" With a light reply, Xia Qinglian took over the exercise diagram and began to look carefully at it.
Like Du Long, Xia Qinglian also practiced several kinds of exercises when she was a child, so she is very clear about the operation diagram of the exercises and the principle of the exercises, and there is no basic obstacle to watching them.
After reading it twice, she has basically mastered the operation method of Xuanyin Jue. There are also some things that she doesn't understand, such as some relatively remote meridians that she has never heard of before. Ling'er explained, and then told Xia Qinglian, and quickly explained all the doubts in her heart.
At this point, Xia Qinglian finally started to put the theory into practice. She sat cross-legged on her bed in front of Du Long, with her eyes closed, and began to practice according to the description of Xuanyin Jue.
Time passed, half an hour passed in a blink of an eye!
Xia Qinglian, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Du Longjiao excitedly and said with a smile: "Master! Qinglian has already condensed a mass of heavenly qi in her dantian! Hehe, it's really great!"
Perhaps because of being too excited, Xia Qinglian's sudden smile made Du Long lose his mind. This beautiful woman who has always been weak and sad has never shown such a pure smile. It is not an exaggeration, for a young man like Du Long who is just in love, the lethality is self-evident!
"Qinglian, you are so beautiful when you smile..." Du Long couldn't help murmuring while staring blankly at Xia Qinglian.
"I hate it!" Xia Qinglian blushed immediately after being stared at by him, and lowered her head and uttered two affectionate words.
The voice was so soft that Du Long's whole body seemed to be melted, and his heart beat wildly. In order to cover up his disappointing performance, Du Long hurriedly got up and said, "Qinglian, since... You have already practiced Yinjue, so I have to go back to my room to practice! You continue to practice here, see you tomorrow!"
Looking at Du Long fleeing in a little embarrassment in some amazement, Xia Qinglian suddenly burst out laughing, staring quietly at the door that was gently closed, with a ray of soft affection in her beautiful eyes.
Obviously!
The young man who rescued himself from the Zuixiang Tower in blood...
This young man who gave his family warmth...
This young man who allowed himself to cultivate like a normal person...
This young man who felt pity for himself...
Already silently engraved a deep imprint in my once frozen heart!
Even if it is impossible to become the wife he is currently marrying because of his background, as long as he can always be by his side, even if he is a slave, he will have no regrets!
At this moment, Xia Qinglian secretly made a decision in her heart!
The darkness of the New Year was gradually dispelled by the first ray of sunshine in the new year. The whole night of goose feather heavy snow covered the imperial capital with a white blanket. Under the reflection of the sunlight, the entire imperial capital glowed with infinite vitality!
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. All the prefectures and counties of the empire will begin to present New Year tributes to the capital. They are mainly rare specialties and all kinds of rare treasures. !
From the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are tribute convoys rushing to the capital from all directions every day, transporting carts of treasures into the palace.
Roll...roll...
On the bustling street, a luxurious carriage with the badge of the Du family galloped all the way towards the Zhou Mansion. Every New Year's Day, Zhou Ruoxue would take her son and husband back to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings. This year, there was an extra person on the carriage. , it was Xia Qinglian who had just been adopted as a righteous daughter by Zhou Ruoxue!
On the carriage, Zhou Ruoxue held Xia Qinglian's jade hand and explained with a smile the things she should pay attention to, but Du Long stared blankly at the endless stream of tribute convoys outside the car window, and the scene of being framed by others flashed in his mind screen!
In my memory, I was framed because of these tribute convoys!
Because of being cheated into gambling and owed a huge debt, in order to pay off the debt, he was forced to attack the tribute convoy, and finally was caught by mistake, which aroused the emperor's anger, Du's house was ransacked, etc. Not long after the accident of Du's family, those behind-the-scenes men were not afraid to be on their own. Tell the truth in front of the waste, and have a general understanding of the whole process.
Leaning blankly against the window, Du Long silently thought about the scenes of being framed before his rebirth, annoyed at how stupid he was at that time.
In the carriage, Xia Qinglian glanced at this young man leaning against the window in a daze with a sad face from time to time. The endless sadness revealed in his deep eyes shocked her extremely!
Not only Xia Qinglian was shocked and puzzled, but even Du Zhentian and his wife were puzzled. How could such a sad look come from a brat at his age?
Just when Zhou Ruoxue couldn't help but want to ask, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the coachman's respectful shout sounded from outside the curtain: "Master, madam! We've arrived at the Zhou residence!"
Resisting the doubts in her heart, Zhou Ruoxue had no choice but to get out of the car first. The guards at the gate of the Zhou Mansion saw her and shouted in surprise: "Second Miss, it's the Second Miss who returned home with my uncle to celebrate the new year. Hurry up and let the master know. !"
Returning to the Zhou Mansion, to Zhou Ruoxue, it was like returning home. Almost all the servants knew her as the former Second Miss of the Zhou Mansion, and she would give everyone a smile on her face when she met any servants in the mansion along the way. A gold coin was distributed, and the servants who received the gold coin were all overjoyed and wished a happy new year.
Don't underestimate this gold coin, it's half a month's wages for these servants!
Soon the four members of the Du family came to the main living room of the Zhou mansion. The two elders of the Zhou family plus Du Long's three uncles, aunts, and five or six descendants of the third generation of the Zhou mansion were all waiting in the hall.
The relatives of each line in the Zhou family live separately, so it is not as complicated as the Du family. There is only their direct line in the Zhou mansion, and only one living room can be filled!
Du Zhentian and his wife took the lead to greet the two elders. After the year, Du Long and Xia Qinglian knelt down and respectfully said: "Grandson wishes grandpa and grandma a happy new year! May the two elders have a happy New Year!"
"Okay, okay! My precious grandson is finally promising! Haha, come on, come forward quickly, grandpa and grandma will give you lucky money!" Both Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou looked at the pair of jadeite jade kneeling in the hall with blushing smiles on their faces. People, beckoning with a kind face.
Du Long naturally led Xia Qinglian forward to accept two red envelopes, and then sent New Year greetings to the three uncles and aunts on the left and right, and each received six red envelopes!
Mr. Zhou has four children, Du's mother, Zhou Ruoxue, is the second, and the other three are all men. The fourth is Zhou Xu, the deputy captain of the sixth rank of the City Defense Army who rescued Du Long and Xia Qinglian from Zuixiang Tower that night.
The Zhou family has influence in both military and political circles, and it is a force that cannot be ignored in the capital of the empire!
During this New Year's greeting, Du Long could clearly feel the change in his uncle's attitude towards him. In their eyes, there was less pity in the past and more sincere appreciation. Obviously, Du Long's performance in front of the emperor last night, Completely conquered these uncles!
Five or six third-generation grandchildren of the Zhou family came forward one by one to ask for red envelopes from the second aunt and second uncle for New Year's greetings. Even the baby of my uncle, who was born less than three months old, got two lucky money from Du Zhentian and his wife!
