Chapter 82
Luo Wendi had promised earlier that he would find a good-tempered martial arts master for Xue Shun to teach him martial arts.
But then all these messy things happened, and Xue Shun had difficulty even turning pages, let alone practicing martial arts, so he put it on hold for the time being.
Now that he has officially resumed classes, the main courtyard has sent Nanny Zhang to bring people over.
On the second day after he resumed classes, people came early in the morning.
Xue Shun was about to go out to Mr. Song.
Nanny Zhang told him not to be anxious.
"Seventeenth Young Master, you no longer need to attend Mr. Song's classes during the hours of Mao."
Xue Shun's heart skipped a beat, but he felt he had done nothing wrong.
He calmed down again and asked with a hint of expectation, "Is it because mother feels sorry for him that she asked Mr. Song to change the class time?"
Nanny Zhang nodded and said, "Young Master Seventeen's guess is correct. Madam feels that your health is too poor, so she no longer asks you to study at 12:00 AM. Instead, you should practice martial arts at 12:00 AM. Practice for two hours every day, take a short nap after lunch, and then study for another two hours in the afternoon.
If Mr. Seventeen feels it's too early, you can discuss with Master Feng and change the time."
It's all suffering anyway, so what difference does it make whether you change it or not?
Alas, he brought this upon himself.
Xue Shun still asked Aunt Zhang to thank his mother in a gentle tone.
After Aunt Zhang left, they began to look at the new martial arts master.
His name is Fengsha'e. Shen Jiao feels that this doesn't sound like a name, but is probably just a nickname.
But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't connect the nickname with this person.
Because he looked very kind, like a black bear without claws, fat and round with a round head, a round brain and a round belly. It was difficult to estimate his age, but he was definitely older than them.
Speak slowly and calmly.
Xue Shun bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Master Feng."
He was stunned for a moment, then terrified. He jumped back unsteadily, his foot hitting the ground with a dull thud. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This...how can this be? How can the Seventeenth Young Master bow to his subordinates?"
"Subordinate?" Xue Shun was curious. "Are you from Tongcai Villa?"
"Yes...ah, this...Lianggong County Outer Deacon Fengsha'e greets you, sir."
It took him a while to react before he saluted awkwardly, not looking very smart.
Xue Shun frowned, probably thinking too much.
Shen Jiao noticed his expression and feigned surprise, saying to him, "It's actually an external steward. Madam truly loves you. I've heard that a Tongcaifang has at most sixteen stewards, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. Some of them travel the world all year round, hence the name 'external stewards.'"
His status was far inferior to that of an inner deacon, but his power was not small either. Such a useful person was transferred to teach Xue Shun...
Either he really cares about it, or there is something wrong.
Shen Jiao thought thoughtfully.
"Oh, I don't deserve your praise, young lady," Fengsha said with sweat on his forehead. "I dare not lie to you, young master. I am indeed an outer steward, but I was seriously injured and my strength is not as good as before. Fortunately, the owner of the manor did not abandon me and the lady praised me, so I can become your martial arts master. My martial arts skills are really not that great."
Xue Shun felt lost for a moment, then cheered up: "Master Feng, why are you so self-deprecating? You are better than me anyway. Otherwise, why would you teach me? We have a pretty good doctor in our hospital. If Master Feng doesn't mind, please let him take a look at your injuries. Perhaps there is still a chance of recovery."
"This..." Fengsha laughed bitterly, "I dare not refuse the kindness of Mr. Seventeen, but this injury is easy to treat, but the lost power is difficult to recover. It's better not to see a doctor, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
He looked a little sad, his face like a sad black pancake.
Xue Shun did not force it: "Okay, there is still a lot of time in the future. If there is any discomfort, I can adjust it in time. I still need to trouble Master Feng for guidance. You are welcome to do so."
As long as Xue Shun wanted to, he could still speak very nicely.
Fengsha'e also has a good temper. The two of them exchanged polite words and seemed to be very satisfied with each other's temperament.
But just being satisfied is not enough. No matter how happy you are chatting, you can't ignore your work.
Xue Shun inevitably asked: "Master Feng, where should we start learning?"
Fengsha'e smiled slightly and said in a good-tempered manner, "Sir, where do you want to start learning?"
"I know almost nothing about these things, so I'd better let the master decide."
"Alas, sir, how can a subordinate make the decision now? Besides, Madam has already instructed that the Seventeenth Young Master only practices martial arts to improve his health, and does not need to be proficient. In that case, you can start from anywhere and learn whatever you want. It is all up to you, sir."
Xue Shun was a little stunned: "Can it be like this?"
Fengsha'e nodded: "Of course."
After he said that, Xue Shun was at a loss. Feng Sha'e was even more confused than him. Even though Xue Shun requested him repeatedly, he didn't dare to say anything.
Judging from the looks of it, he probably really has a good temper, but it's a little... too good-tempered, like a dough that can be kneaded and flattened by anyone, without any opinion of his own.
Xue Shun said he wanted to learn sword.
He said okay, okay, no problem.
Xue Shun said that his previous master said that the correct way was to start with horse stance, then learn some boxing and kicking skills, and finally learn weapons.
He said that made sense and that was not bad.
Xue Shun said that horse stance was too tiring.
He said that it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to stab, but you want to learn boxing directly?
Xue Shun: ...
Xue Shun wanted to change his master, but it was difficult to tell him directly, nor to tell his mother. He could only tell Shen Jiao quietly after the wind and sand left, and he also had to doubt himself: "Am I too unsatisfied?"
"How can it be wrong to want a teacher who is not too strict and who teaches according to the student's abilities? It is precisely because you have a desire to learn that you seek it. However, many times, things don't go exactly as you wish, so you can only look at the bright side."
Shen Jiao persuaded softly,
"Although Master Feng is a bit too easygoing, he cares deeply about your health. He won't let you get tired, nor will he punish you lightly. Practicing martial arts with him is even easier than studying. Isn't that a good thing?"
Xue Shun glanced at her and said, "Practicing martial arts is easier than studying. Do you think I can really learn anything this way?"
"At least it can keep you healthy." Shen Jiao shrugged indifferently.
Xue Shun: ...
"Can strengthening my body block Xue Shiyi's punches?" Xue Shun said unhappily, "Strengthening my body can only make me more resilient."
"That's a good thing," Shen Jiao said, not really paying attention, but her tone was quite serious. "Next time, maybe you can withstand a few punches and kicks."
Xue Shun: ...
"Shen Jiao, I get angry too. Can you please be more serious? This is a serious matter."
He was a little annoyed. It would definitely be more fun to bully him.
Shen Jiao suppressed her restless heart and said seriously, "Don't be impatient, sir. In my opinion, this Master Feng is quite capable, but learning martial arts from him requires more self-discipline. If you are truly determined and not afraid of hardship, you will have no problem learning something. As for what to learn and how to learn it, you have to figure it out yourself."
