Changsheng starts from Tiangang 36

Chapter 5

"All things have their own Dao, the universe is unified in Qi, the Dao that gives birth to me, the God who lives me, and the Qi that uses me!"

As the sun rose, Jiang Li was thinking about the principles contained in "Lingbao Tianzun Xiantian One Qi Guidance Technique", while stretching his body in the small courtyard, simulating the Taizu Changquan, the most frequently practiced boxing technique by the school captains in the mansion when he was warming up.

Eighty years ago, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose from the humble beginnings, won many adventures, and finally swept Kyushu with the power of the peak of the martial arts, overwhelming the heroes, and ended the century-long separatist chaos.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Taizu simplified the [-]-style Dayan Shenquan, which contained his own boxing spirit, and spread it to the Zhou army, so that soldiers all over the world learned together.

The simplified Taizu Changquan has only 32 forms, but the boxing method is powerful and cheerful, punching on the front line, unrestrained and heroic, with the surging momentum of rivers, lakes and seas. .

Although Jiang Li was forbidden to practice martial arts, when he was young, he walked in the mansion and often saw the captains and servants in the mansion practicing, so he remembered the general moves.

He rehearsed according to the memory in his mind, although the posture was not standard, but the Qi walked freely, running through the whole body, punching and hammering, with a sense of power.

"The book says that Wumai tempers the body, and Taoism condenses soul power, which are two completely different extremes.

"As for Qi meridian refining, true qi flows through the whole body along the meridians, which can also temper the physical body, making bones and muscles stronger and stronger. The physical strength is weaker than that of warriors of the same level, but it is stronger than Dao meridians and Confucianism."

Jiang Li punched Taizu's long fist three times, he was panting a little, and his back was sweating finely, so he could only stop, and walked quickly back to the hut to light a fire to keep warm.

The cotton coat on his body was too thin to withstand the severe winter cold, plus he had been starved of food all year round and his health was poor. If the cold air invaded his body, he would inevitably suffer a serious illness.

The house has two rooms inside and outside, and the space is small and simple. There is a stove in the outhouse for cooking and boiling water.

There is only a wooden bed, a desk and two squeaky wooden chairs in the inner room.

The basin used to light the fire and keep warm was the most common black iron basin, unlike the exquisitely crafted three-legged copper basins in the big houses of Jiang Shirong's other descendants.

Charcoal is also the cheapest coarse charcoal in Shengjing City, and there are a lot of carbon residues, just after burning, there is heavy smoke and dust, which rises in the hut, choking Jiang Li so much that he can't open his eyes.

He could only open the doors and windows to ventilate, and the hot air that had just gathered flowed away a lot.

"The eldest lady kept my monthly bill very low, but even the servants in the mansion used fine charcoal for heating, and the fine charcoal that was distributed to me was replaced by Tie Ba and Tie Jiu who were in charge of guarding! "

Jiang Li's eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the courtyard door. His previous personality was cowardly, he had always been submissive, and he dared not speak out against the slaves' embezzlement.

After Jiang Li was reborn, the first two months were still in a state of confusion, digesting the complicated memories of his predecessor, and had no time to think about other things.

After accepting the reality of time travel and rebirth, Jiang Li also asked Tie Ba and Tie Jiu to replace the charcoal.

But what was delivered a few days ago was still the cheapest rough charcoal slag!
"Girl Chuchu is back!"

"Miss Chuchu, we are all slaves in the Marquis Mansion, but we can live our lives with any kind of master. During the day, you serve Jiang Li, an unfavorable young master, and at night you go to the garment workshop to help workers in exchange for firewood. Being a slave to such an extent really makes our two brothers feel distressed!"

Outside the courtyard gate, Tie Ba and Tie Jiu's voices suddenly sounded, and there was a bit of smirk mixed with the playful tone.

"Miss Chuchu, you also know what the ninth son is thinking. As long as you are willing, I will immediately report to you and ask the ninth son to go to Da Furen to intercede and ask you to come to his room."

"That's right, if you go to the Ninth Young Master's room, you can immediately become the maid in charge. If the Ninth Young Master who serves you is happy, you may be promoted to a concubine in the future. At that time, it will be better than following Jiang Li, a short-lived ghost! "

Outside the door, Tie Ba and Tie Jiu tried their best to persuade him.

Jiang Xuanyao coveted the matter of Chuchu, and Jiang Li also heard about it.

It is said that after his ninth brother met Chu Chu in the back garden once, he has been thinking about him day and night.

It's just that due to the strict rules of the Hou Mansion, I dare not snatch it without authorization.

Now he even bought the two servants who watched him, and came to poach people under his nose!

"Shut up, all of you, if I hear such foul language from your mouths again, and disturb your son, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Before Tie Ba and Tie Jiu finished speaking, a girlish voice that was as clear as an oriole sounded with a chill and very unceremonious manner, directly interrupting their conversation.

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open with a creak, and a girl in Tsing Yi with a pair of flat buns walked in with a small face and a snowstorm.

The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a petite figure and a pretty face. A pair of eyes were as bright as stars on her fair face, shining with a lively luster.

She walked into the small courtyard, pushed the courtyard door hard, and shut the long-awaited Tie Ba and Tie Jiu, as well as the two obsequious faces, with a bang.

"Master, you are back!"

The girl turned around, and when she saw Jiang Li standing under the eaves, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she ran towards Jiang Li cheerfully.

"My lord, Madam Su from the Garment Factory gave me two cakes from Guixiangfang. I'm not willing to eat them. You should try them quickly."

The girl took out two pastries wrapped in paper from her bosom, carefully peeled off one piece, and brought it to Jiang Li's mouth like a treasure, and fed him to eat.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake with the body temperature of a girl is fragrant, soft and fluffy, and melts in the mouth.

I don't know if it's the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus or the body fragrance of a girl, but the refreshing fragrance flows through the nose and mouth.

Feeling the coolness around his mouth, Jiang Li held the girl's small hands, soft as if boneless, fragrant and tender, but as cold as jade, which made people feel distressed.

"Why are you so disobedient? It's cold in the middle of the night, and the garment workshop is far away. What if your body freezes!"

Jiang Li blamed her, and rubbed her big hands lightly, until the girl's hands were slightly hot before letting go.

"Master, I went to ask Master Hou to intercede. I was alone in the small courtyard, always restless and thinking wildly, so I went to the garment workshop to talk to the nuns!"

Chu Chu's cheeks were flushed, and she said with concern: "My lord, did Lord Hou allow you to leave the mansion? Da Furen didn't find anything, right?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine, we don't need to ask for help anymore!"

Jiang Li looked at the worried look on the little girl's face, and didn't want to make her worry, so he just smiled lightly.

"That's good, my young master doesn't need to ask anyone. The young master has been smart since he was a child. He hasn't been to the Houfu family school for a day. He can pass the exam by himself. As long as the young master can enter the Confucian Temple to visit the statues of the sages, he will gain the literary spirit." Guan Ti, you will be able to take the Juren examination in the future!"

Chuchu was full of joy.

"Young master, are you hungry, I'll feed you!"

The little girl jumped up and down, took some raw charcoal from the hut, and started cooking with hot water by the stove in the outhouse, but she kept talking to herself excitedly.

"Our young master is the most knowledgeable. In the future, he will be able to move out of the Marquis Mansion if he wins the Juren and Jinshi examinations and becomes a high-ranking official. At that time, there will definitely be young ladies from famous families who will choose the young master!"

"In the future, slaves and maidservants should take good care of the young master and the madam. Hehe, there is also the young master. The young master is handsome, and the young master must be very cute. Chu Chu has to take care of him like a young master. I don't know if the madam will like Chu Chu." .

"I heard from the nanny in the mansion that when a young lady from a prominent family gets married, she will bring her housemate with her, and she can also sleep with the young master. At that time, Chu Chu will not be able to warm the bed and sleep with the young master..."

The stove is very high, and the pot is also big. Chu Chu barely managed to crack an egg by standing on tiptoe, and carefully dropped it into the pot.

Jiang Li didn't make a sound, moved a chair and sat aside, watching Chu Chu busy up and down.

In this indifferent deep courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Chuchu was the only warmth he could feel.

At the beginning of the year when she was bought into the mansion, she was almost beaten to death by the nanny in charge of the eldest lady because of a mistake. It was the mother who saw her pity and saved her.

After the mother passed away, the two lived together in this dilapidated courtyard for more than ten years, called master and servant.

Jiang Li never treated Chu Chu as a slave.

"Young master, your face is ready!"

After a while, Chu Chu walked into the room with two steaming porcelain bowls and put them on the desk.

The noodle soup is steaming hot. The salty clear soup is red and green. The red ones are peppers, and the green ones are shredded green onions and green vegetables. A plump poached egg is spread on the light yellow noodles, which is attractive in color.

Two bowls of noodles, one egg.

Chu Chu picked up the egg-free noodle bowl, poured a large spoonful of spicy oil on it, stirred it evenly, moved his small mouth to the edge of the bowl, and took a sip of the spicy noodle soup. His eyes immediately turned into crescents, and he praised vigorously: "The craftsmanship at the beginning is great!"

"I don't like eggs, I'll share half with you!"

Jiang Li looked angrily at the little girl who sold herself and boasted, and used chopsticks to split the egg in the bowl into two, and transferred it to Chuchu's bowl: "You are still growing, eat more, or you will really be poached eggs! "

"My son is making fun of others again. Since you recovered from your illness, you have become more and more fond of talking nonsense. You don't look like a scholar at all. I will ignore you!"

Chu Chu's small face turned red to the base of her ears, she lowered her head and buried her face in the bowl, and after a while she said in a voice like a mosquito: "It's actually not small, the young master even touched it two days ago. Pass!"

"puff"

Jiang Li choked on a big mouthful of noodles, and quickly proved his innocence: "Obviously you accidentally fell off the stool while drying the peppers!"

"But you just touched it!"

Chuchu raised his head, and replied confidently.

"Ahem, eat noodles, eat noodles!"

Jiang Li knew he was in the wrong, waved his hands, and buried his face in the bowl, the big bowl of noodle soup soon bottomed out.

"Chuchu, no matter what happens in a while, you stay in the room and don't come out!"

Jiang Li put the bowl on the desk, wiped his mouth, and stood up. He dragged the chair and walked outside the house. When he passed the stove, he took the kitchen knife that Chu Chu cooked in his hand.

"Tie Ba, Tie Jiu, get the hell out of here!"

The wooden chair was placed in the middle of the courtyard, Jiang Li sat down and drank coldly.
