Chapter 575 Madam is not well
In order to compensate Hu Xiner for the mental damage she had suffered, Mu Qing decided to teach her the internal martial arts techniques.
However, what seemed easy to him turned out to be extremely difficult for Hu Xiner.
In the evening, Hu Xiner started meditating as soon as she finished dinner, but she couldn't find that mysterious feeling.
Mu Qing finally managed to coax her to sleep. The next day, when he opened his eyes, he saw Hu Xin'er looking at him eagerly: "My husband, my husband, let's practice martial arts."
Mu Qing glanced at the sky outside and confirmed that it was just dawn.
He pushed Hu Xin'er back into the quilt: "Madam, sleep a little longer. You will feel more energetic if you sleep for a long time."
"No, no, I can't fall asleep once I open my eyes!" Hu Xin'er broke free from his hand, a look of resentment on her face. "Why can you learn it just by looking at it, but I can't? After all, I've read countless martial arts novels and comics, so I must have some natural talent."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, what else could Mu Qing do except to obey his wife?
He yawned and stood up: "Okay, okay, I'll make you breakfast first. Only when you're full will you have the energy to practice."
"Yes! I want to eat meat!" Hu Xin'er clenched her fists, her eyes determined, "I have a feeling that today will be successful."
Hu Laosan had taken out all the family secret techniques for her, but she couldn't practice them? What a waste.
After the initial boom period, the business of Mu Xin Comics Shop became stable.
But even the stable sales made the surrounding shops jealous - after the publicity of burning books and exchanging old books for new ones, the reputation of Mu Xin Comics Shop had already spread throughout Qingzhou City, and even merchants from surrounding towns smelled business opportunities and came here to visit.
Zhao Si, the owner of the comic book shop, was also very proud, and his face was almost wrinkled from smiling.
He was quick-witted, and soon everyone knew that Miss Du was behind him. Even the prefect's son, Shen Yunzhou, admired the cartoonist's drawing skills, so he came frequently.
However, today, in the inner room of the comic book shop, Zhao Si was forced to sweat profusely.
A curtain separated the noisy crowd. People who were buying comics outside would never have thought that although the shopkeeper Zhao inside was sitting on a chair, there was a sword across his neck!
He looked at the sword before him and said tremblingly, "Mr. Shen, we are all gentlemen. We can talk it out peacefully. Why, why do we have to resort to swords and guns?"
Opposite him, Shen Yunzhou looked at the leaves floating up and down in the teacup with a cold expression, without even touching the tea that Zhao Si had carefully prepared.
"If I don't use weapons, how long will Manager Zhao keep dealing with me?" He said without even looking at Zhao Si.
After hearing this, Zhao Si cried out in grievance: "You're really wronging me! I've been taking great pains to entertain you these past few days. Look at this tea, this chair...wasn't each one of them bought just for you?"
Shen Yunzhou snorted lightly. With his status, there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
He didn't take Zhao Si's little tricks seriously at all.
It can even be said that he was magnanimous in giving Zhao Si the opportunity to curry favor with him.
However……
"You know what I want." He looked at Zhao Si with a warning in his eyes. "When we first started working together, I already stated my request—I want to meet this painter."
Shen Yunzhou is a person who values talent, and he has already planned everything in his mind.
Although the profitability of Mu Xin Comics Shop exceeded his imagination, he still looked down upon such a small share.
His real purpose from the beginning to the end was the painter behind him.
Zhao Si was so frightened by the sword in front of him that he trembled: "But, but I don't know who the painter behind this is!"
Shen Yunzhou was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Do it!"
Zhao Si was afraid that his life would be in danger because of this incident. He was so scared that he was about to scream, but his mouth was blocked by a piece of rag.
He shook his head desperately, indicating that he really didn't know.
"So, only your sister knows." Shen Yunzhou narrowed his eyes.
Although Zhao Si in front of him was as cunning as a fox, his scheming ability was completely insufficient in front of Mrs. Lu.
Moreover, as the son of a prefect, he would inevitably be criticized if he rashly visited a pregnant woman's home.
"Young Master," the follower who was threatening Zhao Si with a sword warned him, "Mrs. Lu is pregnant and hasn't left her house lately due to her advanced period. It might be difficult to pry her open."
Shen Yunzhou pondered for a while, then smiled at Zhao Si: "Then I can only lend it to you."
Just as the group knocked on the Lu family's door, Hu Xiner was lying on the bed with her whole body spread out.
"Why is it so difficult?" She couldn't help but start to doubt herself, "Do I really have no talent for martial arts?"
Mu Qing consoled him, "Everyone has to go through this stage. For an ordinary person to be able to sense the Qi within half a month, it's already considered a talent."
"Half a month?" Hu Xin'er was shocked. "Then how long did it take you?"
Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "About half an incense stick."
Hu Xin'er frowned, "I remember one night when we were discussing martial arts, you said that your talent wasn't very strong..."
Half an incense stick = average talent, so half a month can only be considered rotten wood, right?
After all, she had read some cultivation systems before, and now she said with resentment, "At my snail-like pace, my talent is not that strong at all. Even if I get started, my cultivation speed will probably be very slow. Sigh."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Hu Xin'er was in a rage and shouted directly out the door, "Who is it? What's going on?"
Xiao Liu said crisply, "Madam, please go and take a look! There's a man named Zhao Si who claims to be your younger brother. He's been beaten and paralyzed, and he's come to you crying and looking for you to help him."
"Brother?" Hu Xiner was shocked when she heard the news at first, but then she thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
With Miss Du and Shen Yunzhou protecting them, who would dare to mess with Mu Xin Comics Shop, let alone seriously injure the shopkeeper Zhao Si?
If this really happened, Miss Du, who lives next door, would have come over to tell them long ago.
After she figured it out, she said impatiently, "It must be that guy Zhao Si's trick again. Go and tell him to speak directly, don't beat around the bush."
Xiao Liu went to the mansion as he was told, but he was also puzzled. Could it be that the young lady really had such a younger brother? However, it was one thing that he had never seen this "brother" before, but the old lady in the mansion was ill recently, and he hadn't come to visit her.
But after a while, Xiao Liu came back again: "Oh no, Madam!"
