Chapter 91
Qu Dubian stayed in the palace for only a few days before leaving and going to the marquis's mansion.
Although Ye Banban said that his grandmother was in a stable mood, he still wanted to go and see her in person. Taking good care of his grandmother was an agreement between him and his grandfather.
Seeing that he was alive and well and his Dantian was open, Wu Siwan felt both relieved and scared.
Their Xiaoguai is different from others. Even the opening of his Dantian is earth-shattering.
Qu Watanabe: "Grandma, let me show you!"
He held his breath, took a few running steps, used his toes to gain leverage on the plum blossom pile, then leaped suddenly, and staggered onto the roof.
Qu Dubian turned his head to look at the courtyard, fluttered his hands, and said happily: "Grandma, look, I can fly."
Wu Siwan narrowed his eyes, smiled and clapped his hands: "Oh, Xiaoguai is amazing, even more amazing than your grandfather when he was young." After a pause, the old lady said, "But Xiaoguai, how are you going to get down?"
"How about asking Mother Fang to bring you a ladder?"
Qu Watanabe: "No need, Liuliu, come!"
Yi Twelve also appeared on the roof, put his arm around his shoulders, and brought him down skillfully.
It landed silently and was very light.
Qu Dubian gave a thumbs up and said, "Liuliu's martial arts have improved." He had been flying on rooftops and off rooftops a lot in Shunning Palace these past few days, all thanks to Liuliu.
B nodded.
He is also constantly improving. If he doesn't learn and improve, he will definitely be eliminated one day in the future.
Qu Dubian accompanied Wu Siwan in the Marquis' Mansion for the whole morning. After lunch, he planned to go look for his uncle.
Wu Siwan said: "Didn't you two agree not to keep in touch often?"
Qu Watanabe: "I climbed over the wall, not through the main entrance."
Wu Siwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You and your grandfather are really something. You almost broke the wall of Tingfeng's house. Do you have something important to talk to him about?"
Qu Watanabe: "Yes, but it depends on my uncle's decision."
He asked Xiaoyuan to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, and he sneaked out, found a slightly lower wall in the backyard of Xu's Mansion, and climbed over.
He had been here several times before, and he was familiar with the place, so he avoided the servants and went to take a look in the study.
There is no one in the study.
Qu Dubian turned around and went to Xu Tingfeng's bedroom.
There were people guarding the door. Qu Dubian knew them. They were thugs in his uncle's yard and could be trusted.
"Is my uncle in there?"
"Yes, young master." Qu Dubian was called young master outside Xu Mansion and Chijianhou Mansion.
Qu Dubian shouted through the door: "Uncle, can I come in?"
A few seconds later, a voice came from inside: "Wait a moment."
Qu Dubian waited outside for a while, about seven or eight minutes later: "Xiao Qi, come in."
Qu Dubian pushed the door open and went in.
Xu Tingfeng's bedroom was divided into two parts, one part was used for sleeping and resting, and the other part was used to prevent his legs from further atrophy.
There was a huge medicine barrel in the compartment, filled with medicinal mist.
Qu Watanabe was familiar with the taste, as he often went to Shunning Palace to have a bath there, but it didn't seem to be the same type.
Xu Tingfeng was only wearing a snow-white inner garment, which was tied loosely around her waist. Her wet hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she was holding a towel in her hand.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is here."
"You came at the right time. Your uncle has just finished taking a medicinal bath," Xue Letian was also inside. He rolled up his sleeves, and after greeting him, he continued to check the herbs placed in the dustpans around the bathtub.
He knew a little about medicine, not proficiently, but just enough. When he was in the capital, he would come to Xu's house when he had time.
Qu Duanbian became a doctor after suffering from a long illness, and he recognized a lot of things through osmosis: "The herbs on the ground have changed a little. They are of the same type as before, but the medicinal properties are more potent."
Xue Letian: "Yes, the usual treatments are not very effective in delaying the atrophy of his legs. Stronger medicine is needed to improve it."
But how can there be so many alternatives to strong drugs? There will always be a day when you run out of options.
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Xu Tingfeng held Qu Dubian's hand and said with a smile, "Come, let your uncle see that you are not scared by that guy Lu Guogong."
Qu Watanabe: "How is that possible? My nephew is my uncle, I am not afraid of him."
Xu Tingfeng laughed: "Okay."
He checked Watanabe's left hand.
A few days have passed and the little pig's trotter has healed a lot now. It is only wrapped with a thin layer of gauze, and the wound on the edge has scabbed over.
“Does it itch?”
"A little bit."
Xu Tingfeng peeled off the gauze and examined it for a moment. "It will be almost healed in a few days. Apply some scar-removing ointment then."
Qu Watanabe: "I'm fine. My Dantian opened for no apparent reason and I blackmailed Nanning. It looks scary, but it's actually a good thing."
"I heard from Xia Fuyang."
"Does Xia Fuyang often come to harass you, uncle?"
"Don't go looking for trouble with him," Xu Tingfeng could not help laughing as he saw what his little nephew with frowned eyebrows was thinking.
"He... he's not harassing me, I guess. He just heard about my time on the battlefield and would come over with military books to ask me questions. Unfortunately, his identity is not very convenient, so he always climbs over the wall to get here. Xia Fuyang has an interesting personality, so he comes over occasionally to relieve my boredom."
"oh……"
Okay, he still wanted to find an excuse to discuss things with Xia Fuyang.
Qu Watanabe: "Uncle, you have been staying in the capital, don't you want to go somewhere else?"
Xu Tingfeng: "Somewhere else? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Uncle Le Tim goes out from time to time, but you seem to have never been out."
"Hey, stop it," Xue Letian groaned, "I'm not going out to hang out, I'm going to work."
Qu Watanabe: "Hey, that's about right."
"There are limited doctors in the capital, but there are also many famous doctors in other places."
Xu Tingfeng shook his head and smiled: "It's inconvenient to go out, so I'm more familiar with the city. Famous doctors...are actually of little use." He didn't know how many famous doctors he had seen, but he was always disappointed with expectations.
Qu Duanbian hesitated for a moment, but finally took out the book in his arms: "Uncle, this is the method I practice."
He had stayed up late in the afternoons and evenings these past few days and found time to copy out the thick stack that weighed heavily in Xu Tingfeng's hands.
"The Qi cultivated from this book can slowly repair the meridians," Qu Duanbian explained, "but it will probably take several years for me to become more powerful. The longer my uncle's leg is delayed, the harder it will be to cure."
The longer the time, the more meridians will die.
"So it's best for you to practice on your own, and use your true qi to nourish your meridians all the time. After you have mastered it and nurtured it for two or three years, maybe your uncle will be able to stand up."
"It's just that this mental method is not compatible with other mental methods. If you want to practice it, you must start over again."
Qu Dubian heard from Ye Banban, Xuan Fei and his grandmother that his uncle had an extraordinary talent for martial arts when he was young. He wielded a spear to perfection and was very vigorous in killing enemies on the battlefield.
Because of this, he felt that telling his uncle about this idea might be a bit cruel, so he kept struggling with it.
Qu Watanabe: "And I can't guarantee how long it will take to succeed."
Xu Tingfeng didn't think it was unreliable for a child to say such things. He carefully looked through the mental method in his hand.
The little nephew's handwriting is very steady, and there is not a single typo in the whole article... He must have copied it overnight, as he has just opened his Dantian and needs to consolidate it.
Xu Tingfeng: "When I first came into contact with your true qi, I noticed the subtle differences between them." However, different people practicing the same mental method will also have subtle differences.
Qu Watanabe: "It's up to you to decide whether to practice or not. If you don't want to practice, I'll find a way later."
The simulator will definitely give out prizes related to his uncle's legs in order to entice him to spend money, and then he can just save up some more lifespan to buy them.
"You are still a child, how can I ask you to worry about your uncle?"
Xu Tingfeng pinched his cheek and said, "Okay, uncle got it. Thank you for making this trip."
Qu Dubian didn't stay here for long. After delivering the secret method, his mission was completed, and he climbed over the wall and left Xu's house.
inside the house.
Xue Letian wanted to see the mental method, but Xu Tingfeng didn't let him.
"He gave it to me, but he didn't tell you to see it."
Xue Letian: "You are not really planning to start over?"
Xu Tingfeng tapped the armrest with his fingertips and looked up and said, "What if I say yes?"
"That's right, can I stop you? Anyway, there are not many places where you can use force, so why not give it a try? Anyway, your internal energy will be gone sooner or later." Xue Letian shrugged, "Since you didn't refuse on the spot, that means you agree. Once you, Xu Tingfeng, make up your mind, I have never seen you change your mind."
Xu Tingfeng smiled and said, "Then let's make a bet."
During the casual conversation, the decision to start over was made.
He memorized the method in his heart and burned the copy.
The moment the flames jumped, it looked like a phoenix flying out of the fire.
-
Yu Ruo moved into the capital.
His residence was across the street from the eldest prince's, and the area was not large. His food, clothing, and daily expenses were up to the standards of a prince. Apart from not having much freedom, his life was pretty good.
However, he has never left the mansion since he moved in. Qu Dubian went out of the palace from time to time and he was unable to meet him.
Before he accidentally bumped into Duke Lu, he was busy with Yuan Jie'er's marriage. Now that the envoy from Nanning has left, Yuan Jie'er's marriage is still not settled.
Seeing that she would be one year older after the New Year, Xie Jingshan and his wife Feng ruled out the young master of the Xiang family who visited brothels, but they still had not made up their minds whether to get engaged to the young master of the Tong family.
When Qu Dubian and Zhiyi went to Xie's house to find Yuan Jie'er, the couple was still arguing.
Xie Jingshan: "How long has the Tong family been in the capital? That kid is only about fourteen or fifteen this year. His ancestors only had one assistant minister, and there were no more good ones after that. By the time of his father's generation, he could barely get a job as an official in the Dali Temple."
"The eldest son of the Tong family is still in the local government. It will take another 10 to 20 years for him to gain experience and be transferred to the central government."
"The second son hasn't even taken part in the spring imperial examination, and it's not even known whether he will pass the exam. How much land and shops does his family have? With such a shallow foundation, you want to marry our daughter to him?"
Feng sneered, "How much do you know about the inner courtyard of the mansion? From his father's generation to the eldest son of this generation, the backyard of the Tong family has been very clean. Men in the family can only take concubines if they are over 40 and still have no offspring. Most women make a living in the backyard. Just this point alone, I don't know how many times better than other noble families in the capital!"
To put it bluntly, Xie Jingshan was not optimistic about the Tong family's development prospects and felt that Yuan Jie'er would suffer if she married into the family.
Feng disdained the mess in the backyards of other noble families and would rather marry her daughter off to a lower status than have her suffer jealousy and strife in the harem for the rest of her life.
Seeing that they were about to fight, Qu Dubian said, "Young Master Xiang and Young Master Tong must have been carefully selected by Uncle Jingshan and Aunt Jingshan. Since Uncle Jingshan has eliminated them, why don't you try to contact Young Master Tong?"
