Half an hour later.
Li Qingniu's medicine has been prepared.
He was so anxious that he drank up the prepared soup in two mouthfuls. His face suddenly glowed red and he was full of energy, as if he had endless energy.
"Successful, hahaha..."
Li Qingniu looked up to the sky and smiled. His persistence and desire for decades had finally come true today. He was full of hope for his future life.
"Congratulations, Master!"
Su Xian congratulated him from the side and said: "Master, now that you have taken this prescription, you should send someone back to Butterfly Valley as soon as possible and invite all the master ladies!"
"That's natural."
Li Qingniu waved his hand, summoned several Butterfly Valley experts, gave them personal instructions, and then sent them on their way immediately.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Su Xian smiled and approached Li Qingniu:
"Master, we are far away in Shu, and we can't get there so quickly. Why not take advantage of this time to teach the pre-Qin guidance skills to your disciples?"
"That's fine!"
Li Qingniu was quite happy, and he immediately put on a show and personally taught the Pre-Qin Dao Dao Technique, trying his best to play the role of a strict teacher.
Su Xian couldn't help being happy.
He also learns quickly.
For one thing, he has longed for this technique for a long time, and he fully mobilized his subjective initiative when learning it, and he was very serious about it.
Secondly, Li Qingniu has been practicing this technique for a long time. After decades of accumulation, his understanding of this technique has reached a state of harmony between nature and man. His instructions are easy to understand and get to the point.
Therefore, it only took half an hour for Su Xian to completely master all the postures and movements of the Pre-Qin Daoyin Technique. All he needed to do next was to practice diligently.
As the saying goes, "The master introduces the door, and cultivation depends on the individual."
"Your talent is very high, which really amazes my teacher!"
Li Qingniu was very satisfied with Su Xian's performance. After nodding, he took out a mottled book and handed it to Su Xian:
"There is also a secret book here for me as a teacher. In addition to the basic postures of the pre-Qin Daoyin technique, there are also many insights for me as a teacher. It will be of great benefit to read one or two of them in your spare time."
"Thank you Master!"
Su Xian was overjoyed and hurriedly took it with both hands.
Before he had time to flip through it, Li Qingniu added: "The Pre-Qin Daoyin Technique is certainly good, but the effect of this technique alone is too slow. It will take more than ten years to achieve the desired effect."
"ah?"
Su Xian was startled, feeling cheated, and almost fell out on the spot.
Fortunately, Li Qingniu immediately said:
"So, I have another set of medicated diet list here, please take it and insist on taking one medicated diet every day."
"Using herbal medicine in conjunction with this technique, you only need to persist for a few days to achieve the effect of practicing the Pre-Qin Daoyin Technique alone for ten years!"
Su Xian was overjoyed when he heard this. He took another book from Li Qingniu with both hands and bowed deeply:
"Thank you Master!"
"Um."
Li Qingniu nodded, stroking his beard and smiling:
"Just now, you said that you wanted to help me prepare medicine as a filial piety? My teacher suddenly remembered that there are still a few very complicated medicines that need to be prepared. Please keep them."
Su Xian quickly hid the two books close to his body, raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying:
"Oh no, this disciple suddenly remembered that there is still a big matter that needs to be dealt with in the Yamen. We cannot delay it. Master, please be busy first. I will leave now."
"..."
After speaking, Su Xian turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Li Qingniu stood in the courtyard, his hand stroking his beard stopped in mid-air, and he tugged the corner of his mouth fiercely. After a long time, he cursed loudly: "You evil disciple, you just ran away after getting a benefit?!"
…
In other words, now that Su Xian had learned the pre-Qin Daoyin technique, his wish was fulfilled. He was overjoyed and began to practice day and night.
In order to achieve the "invincible" state as soon as possible.
He specially set aside a place in the mansion, which was a remote and independent courtyard, for practicing martial arts, and also ordered that no one could trespass...
In a blink of an eye, the sun rises high and lunch time has arrived.
Su Xian stopped practicing and returned to the living room of the inner house to have lunch with Mrs. Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang.
During the meal, Liu Huixiang looked suspicious:
"I heard that my husband specially set aside a courtyard, closed the door, and didn't allow anyone to disturb him?"
Tang Shuwan's posture was elegant and dignified. She held chopsticks in her bare hands and took more than ten grains of rice into her mouth. While chewing carefully, she also looked over with a suspicious look on her face.
"Uh...not bad."
Su Xian's mind was racing. He must give a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise the two ladies would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Unexpectedly, before he could figure out the reason, Liu Huixiang smiled and said, "Is your husband tinkering with something new? Something like soap?"
Su Xian's heart moved, he nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, my husband is indeed tinkering with something new, but this time is very important and needs to be kept secret. The two ladies must remember not to spread it around."
"Um."
The two ladies nodded simultaneously.
The meal was finished in no time.
Su Xian was eager to go back to practice, so he got up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.
Tang Shuwan stopped him:
"Husband, wait a minute, I suddenly remembered an important matter, and I need you to make your own decision."
"What's the big deal?"
Su Xian really stopped.
He couldn't help but wonder, what major matter Tang Shuwan couldn't handle, and why he still needed to make the decision himself?
"I wonder if you, husband, have noticed that... there are always some things missing in the house for no apparent reason, such as vases, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Could it be that..."
"Madam, you are worrying too much."
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief, because he was in a hurry to go back to practice and had no time to pay attention to such trivial matters:
"Madam has a hard time running the house, so she needs more rest. Don't overwork her. Look, she's hallucinating again."
"But..." Tang Shuwan hesitated.
"Okay, I'm going to go ahead, husband. Remember to keep the secret of tinkering with new gadgets a secret."
Su Xian couldn't help but say something, waved his hand, then strode out of the inner house, returned to the place where he practiced, and continued to practice hard.
…
at the same time.
Princess Lanling's Mansion.
Today, Su Xian brought Li Qingniu into the palace to diagnose the Queen's pulse, and the results finally reached Lan Ling's ears.
"In this way, I can feel completely at ease!"
Princess Lanling was overjoyed. She couldn't sit still anymore and walked around in the study. After more than ten rests, she finally became quiet.
But at this time, her face was already very ugly. She looked in the direction of the East Palace and said coldly:
"This time I tied my hands and almost allowed the prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. We must learn a lesson... Although Your Majesty is unwilling to upset the balance, there are some things that should be well planned!"
"..."
East Palace.
boom!
Bang!
Snapped!
Throughout the East Palace, there were endless sounds of falling and smashing.
The prince was drunk, his hair was disheveled, and he took advantage of the drunkenness to cause havoc everywhere, leaving the East Palace in a mess.
Just now, the result of Li Qingniu's diagnosis of the Queen's pulse reached the ears of the Crown Prince.
There is absolutely no hope!
The Queen will fully recover in a few days!
The prince had been feeling aggrieved for so long, and finally the opportunity he had been waiting for slipped through his fingers silently...
He hates it so much!
Snapped!
After the prince smashed an exquisite vase into pieces, he pointed in the direction of Princess Lanling's Mansion and Fan Yanghou's Mansion, shook his head and cursed:
"Lan Ling, Su Xian, you two...bastards! If you take away Gu's throne, I will never let you go in the future! You all just wait for me..."
The princess was frightened when she heard this.
She didn't want to stop the prince from venting his emotions, so she had to stop him with words. It would be a big deal if these words got out.
"roll!"
Unexpectedly, the prince didn't listen to the advice at all. He glared angrily, raised a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, and slapped the prince's fair and beautiful face directly.
Snapped!
The sound is crisp.
The Crown Princess was slapped to the ground on the spot. She covered the side of her red face with her hands and looked up at the drunken Crown Prince, her eyes filled with glints.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Fan Yanghou Mansion.
Su Xian worked tirelessly and practiced Kung Fu for two days in a row, and also took medicinal food for two days. Today, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had just achieved the "magic Kung Fu"!
Full of energy, this feeling is amazing...
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Xian's "magic skill" has been basically stable, and he has been trying it for the past two days, and the effect is really good...it just hurts the two ladies.
This evening.
Inner house, study.
Su Xian and the two ladies had already had dinner and had finished bathing and dressing.
As usual, they are not in a hurry to go to bed, but gather in the study room, chatting, reading, writing, or embroidering... This is equivalent to a family gathering and can enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
Su Xian was sitting behind the desk with a pile of official documents on the bed.
Because he holds several positions such as "Taiwei", "Marquis of Fanyang County", "General Jinwu Right Guard", "General Zuowuwei", etc., as well as a consultant in Princess Lanling's palace, there will always be some official documents that need to be prepared. He handles it.
It was very quiet in the study.
Twenty or thirty candles burned quietly and were scattered throughout the study, illuminating the entire study as brightly as day.
Su Xian was working on the official document, with a serious and dedicated look on his face, and he would write and comment on a sentence or two from time to time...
Next to him, Liu Huixiang stood there.
In addition to personally studying ink for Su Xian, he also played a role in adding fragrance to the red sleeves. Of course, there were also tasks such as cutting lamp wicks, organizing official documents, serving tea, etc.
She was diligent and thoughtful, with a faint smile on her face. Looking at Su Xian who was working hard, her heart was filled with a sense of security. If time could stay at this moment forever, she would be very willing to do so.
Tang Shuwan was sitting in another place.
She was doing embroidery with a needle and thread by the bright candlelight. She would look up at Su Xian from time to time, with a tranquil and happy curve on her lips.
after a little while.
Su Xian dropped the brush, stretched, pushed the official documents on the table away, then looked sideways at the dignified, gentle and pleasant Tang Shuwan, and grinned:
"It's getting late. Let's stop here today, madam. We should go back to the house and go to bed."
Tang Shuwan's delicate body sitting there suddenly trembled slightly, she glanced at Su Xian's desk, and begged with a smile:
"Husband, don't be anxious. It's still early for me to tell you, and my husband's business has not been finished yet. How about...waiting for another hour and a half?"
"The work is never done."
Su Xian ignored him at all and stood up and pressed towards Tang Shuwan.
Tang Shuwan trembled secretly, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of Liu Huixiang beside the bookcase. Liu Huixiang was leaning over to clear the table, holding a brush in her hand and cleaning it in a blue and white porcelain brush washer.
She thought about it and said hurriedly:
"I've... been feeling a little unwell lately. My husband, I'd better go to Sister Liu's room today and let me rest for a day or two..."
When Liu Huixiang heard this, she almost dropped the brush in her hand. She was startled and quickly declined:
"No, no, my husband should go to my sister's room today. The rules cannot be broken. Furthermore, I... I have been feeling a little unwell recently and cannot serve my husband..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing this, Su Xian burst into laughter. He held the two ladies with his left and right hands respectively. He was very proud and said with an expectant smile: "In that case, why don't we... come together?"
"My husband has a beautiful idea!" Tang Shuwan said shyly and shook off Su Xian's pull.
"What are you talking about, husband!" Liu Huixiang's face turned red. When Tang Shuwan refused, she also shook off Su Xian's hand.
"..."
Su Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, not forcing himself upon seeing this.
He just held Tang Shuwan's little hand again and said with a smile:
"Mei Liu is right. Once the rules have been set, they cannot be changed without authorization. Madam, for my husband's sake, I will go to your room tonight."
"Then...then that's it."
Although Tang Shuwan looked helpless, she had no other choice.
Suddenly, something moved in her heart, and she asked, holding back her shyness:
"Husband, why are you... so powerful these past two days? Don't listen to the nonsense of some monks and Taoists. It's just that I have to work harder. Husband, you must not hurt your body for this."
Liu Huixiang also advised: "What Sister Tang said is true..."
Su Xian held his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.
At that moment, he told them about learning the pre-Qin Daoyin technique from Li Qingniu.
After listening to this, the two women opened their red lips at the same time and did not close them for a long time. Their faces turned red and they suddenly said:
"There are such strange things in the world?!"
"In addition, Master also gave me a set of recipes, which are all medicinal foods."
Su Xian walked to the bookshelf, rummaged for a while, took out a book from the pile, handed it to the two ladies to look at, and smiled at the same time:
"Now that the two ladies have learned about this, my husband will leave the job of cooking medicinal meals to you. I wonder which of you is willing to take on this important task?"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang moved in unison and dropped the medicinal diet book on the table at the same time.
The pictures of the medicinal materials used in this book are unexpected. The book just happened to turn to "Meat from Rong", and the pictures are so imaginative.
The two ladies' faces immediately turned red, and their ears were not spared either.
"You are not willing to cook medicinal food for me?" Su Xian picked up the book and felt a little surprised. In his expectation, the two ladies should be fighting over it.
"Husband, it's better to leave such important responsibilities to others." Tang Shuwan spat with a red face.
"That's right, I don't do this." Liu Huixiang gave her a blank look.
"Oh well."
Su Xian had no choice but to put the books back on the bookshelf.
But what he didn't notice was that when he was placing the books with his back to the two ladies, the two ladies widened their eyes at the same time, as if trying to remember the location of the books.
"It's getting late, it's time to go back to your room and rest."
After Su Xian put down the books, he turned around and took Tang Shuwan back to the living room.
After a brief chat, Su Xian couldn't wait and dragged Tang Shuwan to the couch...
"Husband, wait a moment, I suddenly remembered something, please let me go and come back."
Tang Shuwan struggled to break away from Su Xian's pull, held up her skirt, and opened the door with small steps.
Then he ran straight to the study.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned a corner, she suddenly discovered that in front of the small door leading to Liu Huixiang's yard next door, someone also ran away with his skirt in hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That's... Liu Huixiang?
not good!
Tang Shuwan felt anxious and rushed to the study room. She walked to the bookshelf where Su Xian kept the books and rummaged through them carefully, but there was no trace of books anywhere!
"It's too late!"
Tang Shuwan was very upset, but now that the matter was over, there was nothing she could do.
