It turned out that Sheng An was not suitable for direct contact with the martial arts of Sheng Guogong because of her brittle bones. Therefore, when she was four or five years old, she practiced contortion with a female master in order to solidify her foundation and make up for her lessons in the future.
Mrs. Shi, who was stationed in the southwest at that time, learned about this through correspondence, so she selected the martial arts methods she had summarized, compiled them into a book, and mailed it to Beijing.
The practice methods in the booklet are extremely detailed, and the accompanying pictures are even more detailed and vivid. Even Mrs. Zheng can get started after reading them.
Sheng Ran had some basic knowledge, so he learned very quickly. Mrs. Shi was so happy to see that she was hunting, and taught some basic skills that she had collected that were suitable for Sheng Ran to practice. In this way, they developed a half-teacher relationship.
After that, Mrs. Shi kept in constant communication with Sheng An. She put forward suggestions for improvement from time to time based on Sheng An's practice progress, and she also taught Sheng an amount of practical kung fu.
And this is also the reason why Sheng Ran has no formal martial arts training, but can fight all over Mongolia with few opponents.
"Sister An, after the new year, you can master the basic skills thoroughly, and then you can officially learn Kung Fu."
Mrs. Shi looked at Sheng An, who immediately beamed after hearing this, and said funnyly: "However, you don't have to take those skills too seriously. Once you practice them, you will just be lighter, more flexible, and jump higher than others. Jump farther, run faster, and in a fight you can outnumber one enemy."
Sheng Yuan sat in her arms and listened to what she said. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and thought to herself, this lady must be very good at boxing and kicking, otherwise she wouldn't be so humble. She was so humble that her heart was moved.
After Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Zheng were seated, they gave their daughters meeting gifts.
What Zheng gave to Liang Yichun was a complete set of headdresses, from hairpins, hairpins, and steppers to Huasheng, tin, and combs, a total of six types and thirty-six items.
There are eight types of hairpins: white jade inlaid with precious stones, orchid hairpin with ivory inlaid with emerald and glazed tassels, magpie hairpin with gold wire and enamel crystal, two large and six small hairpins with silver begonia flower filigree, double flying hairpin with pearls and jade butterflies, and topaz ring Bell double tassel hairpin, emerald dot ruby double dragonfly wings hairpin, purple jade peach blossom cluster tassel hairpin.
There are twelve hairpins, all of them are golden hairpins dotted with emerald green and stacked with auspicious clouds to welcome magpies. These hairpins can be used alone, in pairs, or twelve can be inserted into the head together.
There are six steps in the statue: a double magpie holding a pearl with tassels, a gilt double tower with palace tassels, a spring-shaped step with peonies and tassels, a carp jumping over water with tassels, and a colorful deer, bronze crane and auspicious clouds with tassels. Shake, Baobao is embellished with persimmon-shaped tassels.
As for the rest, there are two Huasheng and Dian combs respectively, and six combs.
"I heard what you said in your letter. Sister Zhichun is going to hold a wedding ceremony at her maternal grandfather's house. Our hometown is far away from the capital. I have a big family to take care of and can't go there, so I took out the congratulatory gift for her in advance. Well, as for the reunion gift..."
Mrs. Zheng handed over a piece of medicinal jade: "Although this object is called jade, it is not jade. Wearing it around you can cure all kinds of diseases and avoid miasma. If you are poisoned or injured, grind it into powder, or take it orally or apply it externally. It can alleviate most of the symptoms. Although it may not be completely eradicated, it can save lives."
"Oh! This is too expensive!" Mrs. Shi was shocked when she heard this. "This is your grandfather's secret medicine. It is said that the finished product is difficult to produce. You only brought six of them when you were married."
Seeing her exaggerated reaction, Ms. Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "I gave you one when you went to the southwest. How come it's like we've just met? Besides, you said that this child is on the battlefield. As an aunt, I Always try your best.”
Mrs. Shi added, "The one I gave her is enough."
"Hmph, you should stay in Beijing for a long time before you talk!" Mrs. Zheng gave her an annoyed look.
Mrs. Shi sneered for a moment, but she didn't let her take it back.
What Zheng gave to Liang Erxia and Liang Shanqiu were a set of jade-inlaid tourmaline paintbrushes with two sets of full-color pigments, as well as a guqin and a pipa from a family of musical instruments that were tribute to the imperial court.
As for the gift for the youngest Liang Youdong, it is a clairvoyant adapted from the telescope called clairvoyance.
Although the name of the Baili Mirror sounds nice, it can only zoom in and see clearly the scene within a hundred steps.
Of course, even if you can only see within a hundred steps, it is still an extremely rare gift for a child. Even though Liang Youdong is extremely well-behaved, he likes to play with it non-stop even if he holds the telescope.
The gift given by Mrs. Zheng was not light, and the gift given by Mrs. Shi was also very generous.
She first gave Sheng Xin, Sheng An, and Sheng Yuan each a rosewood cabinet carved with bats, peaches, magpies, and sika deer.
The wooden cabinet has three floors. The first floor is filled with jade, including agate, jade, tortoise shell, jasper, etc., about ten kinds.
Most of these jade materials are irregular in shape and look like they have just been mined.
The smallest of these jade stones is as big as a baby's fist.
The second layer is the unique medicinal materials of the Southwest, such as gastrodia elata, snow lotus, saffron; angelica root, panax notoginseng, red snow tea; asarum, Yipijian, bluegrass, Yangchunsha; Polygonum multiflorum, purple salvia, Dendrobium officinale, Yunnan Scutellaria baicalensis; rock cabbage, Coptidis Coptidis, tofu dregs fruit, Artemisia annua; Sichuan Fritillaria, green ginseng, Tengchong Magnolia officinalis, White Snow Tea.
On the third floor are various animal furnishings carved from precious woods, among which sandalwood and red sandalwood are the most valuable.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but marvel when she saw it: "Sister Yiyu, have you gone to the southwest to dig for treasures in Kaiyuan? These are too expensive. One portion is enough. Are you preparing three copies?"
When Mrs. Shi heard this, she waved her hand nonchalantly: "If you give birth to ten or eight more children, I will give them to you!"
In addition to giving the same gift to her three children, she also prepared different greeting gifts for them.
The gift given to the young man Sheng Xin was a Wusun horse that was just born;
What was given to Sheng An was thirty-six gilt bronze plum-shaped boomerangs and a bronze ruler sword;
For Shengyuan, there is a room full of simulated iron-eating beasts of all sizes.
"Wow!" Sheng Yuan's eyes widened as she looked at the dozens of national treasures of that year, large and small.
Even the system was surprised that the contemporary craftsmanship was so exquisite that it basically restored the appearance and form of pandas. From a distance, it seemed as if there were really a group of pandas playing around: [Those who don’t know would have thought that this Mrs. Shi has brought six generations of her ancestors with her. coming! 】
"Come back and find an unused room, ask the maid to arrange the bamboos and rocks according to the drawings, and then place the iron-eating beasts according to your own ideas, and then you can play."
Mrs. Shi pointed at the two largest pandas and said with a smile: "There are also mechanisms inside. You can ride on it and put your feet lightly against the belly of the iron-eating beast, and it will be able to move slowly!"
Then he pointed at the two slightly chubby pandas and said, "These two are actually rocking chairs. You can put the prepared chairs on them and play."
"..." Not only was Sheng Yuan's eyes widened, but even Sheng An and Zheng couldn't help but come up and touch her.
Mrs. Shi looked at her friend's joyful eyes and no longer saw herself. She touched the fat baby in her arms speechlessly.
