Chapter 8 Daytime doesn't understand the darkness of night
Ye Zhiqiu chuckled for a while, looked at the blushing young lady and said, "Princess Wushuang wants to learn poetry and prose with the children in the academy. If you find it inconvenient, you can also follow me."
This look is what a mother-in-law means when she looks at her daughter-in-law.
The young lady tilted her little head and thought for a while, then replied: "I will learn from Madam. Those little brats will laugh at me, so I won't go!"
Xu Jingyun was taking a sip of tea when she heard it and suddenly spurted it out.
The general's wife also smiled, looked at her daughter, then looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "This will cause trouble for my wife."
Ye Zhiqiu pulled the young lady over and said happily: "It's not troublesome. Li Ye doesn't see anyone all day long, so Wushuang is here just to spend his time with me."
Xu Jingyun thought to herself, of course you are willing, this is the beginning of cultivating child brides.
The general's wife was also very happy and replied: "In the spring at the city lord's mansion, I saw Li Ye's handwriting and everyone applauded. How about asking him to teach Wu Shuang how to write?"
The young lady was still eating apricot blossom cake. When she heard her mother's words, she was stunned for a moment.
"Is Li Ye's handwriting good?" Xu Jingyun asked.
The general's wife and the young lady both nodded.
"I'm afraid this won't work." Mrs. Ye sighed.
He said softly: "My Li Ye is busier than anyone else. He has to walk back and forth to my husband's yard every day to study, and he also has to go to his back hill to fetch water, learn tea ceremony, recite scriptures, and learn the piano..."
"He returns to the academy every day and only eats, bathes and sleeps. He doesn't even have much time to talk to us." Madam felt sorry for her son.
"Why do you have to walk instead of sitting in a carriage?" The young lady and the general's wife, Xu Jingyun, were confused.
"Well, his husband said that if you can walk, you are not allowed to ride in a carriage. Walking is also a kind of practice. Li Ye went to his husband's yard to learn piano. The next day, he stopped riding in the carriage and started walking, rain or shine."
The lady called the servants over and gave the three of them hot tea.
The three of them were all shocked that they were walking to practice in all weathers, a ten-mile round trip.
The young lady blushed and asked Mrs. Ye. "Madam, that day I was angry and blocked Li Ye. I wanted to throw him, but I couldn't throw him. I had already cultivated my true energy by then."
The general's wife glared at the young lady.
Xu Jingyun also looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "I don't understand either. It should be said that Wushuang had already reached the second level of energy gathering at that time, and ordinary adults couldn't beat her."
Ye Zhiqiu took the hot tea brought by the servant, took a sip, and said, "On the second day when he went to learn piano from Mr. Li Ye, he wore fifty kilograms of black iron inner armor and didn't take it off except to take a shower.
"
"This year, his husband probably added some weight to him. It should be 60 kilograms."
The young lady seemed to have a duck egg stuffed in her mouth and was stunned.
The general's wife was also shocked, thinking how much perseverance this requires.
Only Xu Jingfeng was calm and said to the young lady: "You think you have worked very hard, look at Li Ye. He wears fifty kilograms of iron armor every day, but he still walks ten miles to study and practice with his teacher.
.”
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. When Li Ye learned the piano from his husband, he couldn't even move his piano. The iron piano weighed more than a hundred kilograms. The teacher said that he had to learn the piano first.
Only if you can move the piano."
The young lady looked at Xu Jingyun and said, "Master, I have to work hard too."
Xu Jingyun nodded and spoke to Ye Zhiqiu: "Madam, what level of Qi gathering is Li Ye's current practice? How is his Kung Fu training?"
"It looks like there are three floors. I don't know the exact number. My wife can't tell. He can tell us what skills he has learned." Ye Zhiwei looked at the sky outside the hall and ordered his servants to prepare dinner, leaving three people behind.
People eat.
"The husband said that Li Ye is not allowed to fight outside, so no one knows what he has learned." The lady was thinking about when she would ask her son what he had learned. It has been almost a year.
"This is the first time for the three of you to come to the house. Wushuang will also come to study with me in the future. Let's stay at the house for dinner tonight. It just so happens that Li Ye will be back soon."
The general's wife and Master Jingyun thanked the madam, and the young lady thought for a while that she wanted to examine this boy carefully and see how many secrets he had hidden in his heart.
The sun is setting in the west, and it is almost the time of Unity.
It was said that Li Ye was walking home with Agui at the moment. But the master and servant made them laugh again.
My husband said that it doesn’t look good if you get wet on the way home, so don’t bear the water. Go back with an empty bowl and don’t be lazy.
So Li Ye was like a puppet, carrying three bowls on his head, staggering towards his home. The passers-by on the road laughed, but Li Ye in the academy got crazy again, what are he playing? Doing acrobatics with three bowls on his head?
Agui just followed behind, snickering all the way.
"Master, slow down, you fell again, hey, here we go again." Agui smiled and helped Li Ye pick up the fallen bowl.
After practicing for almost a year, it took Li Ye almost half an hour to go back to his home from his husband's yard, and it took another hour and a half today.
The lights were turned on in the academy, and the servants put the food on the table. After a while, Li Ye and Agui came through the door.
The young lady kept looking at the door and saw Li Ye coming in carrying three bowls and bursting into flames. She ran over regardless of her ladylike image.
He asked, "Li Ye, what are you doing? You came back from the temple with three alms bowls on your head. Did you come back begging all the way?"
The master also came back, sitting on top of the dining table, looking at Li Ye with confusion in his eyes.
The young lady snatched an alms bowl from Li Ye and knocked it with her little hands, making a "dong dong" echo. She was startled and then said: "This is made of iron, so heavy? What kind of iron is it?"
Xu Jingyun, the general's wife, and Mrs. Ye all looked at Li Ye, waiting for his answer.
Li Ye snatched back the alms bowl that the young lady had snatched away, and rolled his eyes at the young lady: "Mr. asked someone to make these from black iron. They were originally offered to the Great Buddha Temple. These are the few he left behind.
Gave it to me today."
"Then you take it to beg for food? Your family doesn't have food to eat? Come to the General's Mansion and I'll give it to you." The young lady felt a little sorry for Li Ye.
When Li Ye heard what the young lady said, he was speechless. What is this? "I am practicing, you know? Alas! Even if I tell you, you don't understand. You don't understand the darkness of night during the day!"
"Does the day not understand the darkness of the night?"
Everyone in the room burst out laughing after hearing what Li Ye said.
The master cleared his throat and said: "Okay, go wash your face and eat."
"Oh" Li Ye listened to the Master and went to wash his face.
Mrs. Ye called Agui over and asked what was going on.
Agui quickly replied: "My lord, madam, general's madam, sir, you are asking the young master to cultivate his body shape, saying that he should walk like the wind and stand like a pine tree."
Only then did everyone in the room realize.
Agui added: "The old monk of this big Buddhist temple asked you to carry the water, but the master said that carrying the water back home will make your body wet and unsightly. He should carry the empty bowl first, and then carry the water."
Xu Jingyun really admired Li Ye now. She looked at the young lady and said, "He wears sixty kilograms of iron armor and carries three bowls on his head and shoulders. This adds up to eighty kilograms, which is more than him."
It’s not easy to cultivate yourself if you have to pay attention to yourself.”
The master and his wife felt sorry for their son and echoed a few words.
Agui also felt sorry for the young master, and said again: "You haven't seen that in the courtyard of the master, the master filled the bowl with water, and the shaking became even worse, making it difficult to walk. I have been practicing this all afternoon, and I am naked.
"
"My robe is soaked, what should I do if I don't wear it naked?" Li Ye came back from washing his face and sat at the dinner table.
The family starts to eat.
The master asked Agui to pour rice wine for the general's wife, Master Jingyun, and Mrs. Ye. He also poured a glass and looked at his son again. Li Ye pretended not to see it and just picked up vegetables to eat.
The young lady also lowered her head while eating. Mrs. Ye felt sorry for her son and brought a lot of vegetables to Li Ye. She turned around and gave the young lady another bowl of vegetables. The young lady blushed.
The master made a toast.
The three women were picking up food while talking, and the two ladies had a happy family-like feeling.
The young lady opened her mouth to talk to Li Ye, but Li Ye glared at her, scaring her so much that she didn't dare to say anything. She quickly took a bite of food and listened to what some adults were saying.
The general's wife brought some food to Li Ye and asked, "Li Ye, is it hard to practice with your husband?"
After listening, Li Ye nodded, shook his head again, and did not reply.
The master was angry, put down the wine glass, looked at you Ye Ye and said, "What are you asking, elders? Why are you so rude?"
Agui, who was pouring wine at the side, quickly came over to fill the Master's cup and answered for Li Ye: "Master taught me that if you eat without words, you will sleep without words. If you eat and talk, you will be beaten."
When the young lady heard this, she laughed so hard that she almost spit out the food in her mouth. She quickly lowered her head to the table and laughed.
The two ladies and Xu Jingyun also smiled, thinking that this gentleman was too harsh.
When the master heard this, he was speechless for a while. After a long while, he said: "There is no speech when eating and no speech when sleeping. This is what the sage said, but few people practice this way nowadays."
"Your husband is a great man, so practice with him well. From now on, just do what your husband says and don't care about other people's opinions." The master looked at his son with approving eyes, thinking that after just one night, his son had changed.
.
The general's wife and Xu Jingyun also nodded in agreement. Mr. Dao is really a virtuous man. Looking at the young lady, the master said: "Wushuang, you have to learn from Li Ye in the future. Don't act like a wild girl all day long."
The general's wife looked at her daughter and said, "That's right. You should also learn the etiquette of life like Li Ye. Be a virtuous and virtuous woman."
The young lady made a sad face and said: "Li Ye, it's all you..."
Li Ye lowered his head and said nothing, finished the bowl of rice and looked at the bowl of soup.
After dinner, the master invited several people to the flower hall and asked Li Ye to boil water and make tea.
The master said: "I learned the tea ceremony from Xingsheng, but neither of you have ever enjoyed it. Today, while there are guests, you can let everyone enjoy the treatment of the master."
Li Ye went to wash his hands, asked Agui to fetch water, and started boiling water to make tea.
The young lady stood behind Li Ye without saying a word, watching Li Ye's every move.
Li Ye invited several people to sit down, lit another incense and placed it beside the tea table.
Boil water, warm the pot, wash the cups, and wash the tea. In less than a moment, a cup of tea was served.
Before the tea is even in your mouth, the fragrance overflows and the whole room is filled with life.
Xu Jingyun took a sip, with a smile in her eyes, full of joy. The master also blew in, took a small sip, and gave his son a look of praise.
The general's wife smiled broadly and thought that this son-in-law was so perfect. She had to tell the general when she got home to settle the marriage as soon as possible.
Ye Zhiqiuwang was holding the tea cup and looking at his son. He was already drunk before the tea was in his mouth.
Only the young lady was dishonest. She stood behind Li Ye and pinched Li Ye's robe with her little hands while Li Ye was pouring tea.
After exerting force, he felt the hardness of the iron armor inside, and then he blushed and said, "Li Ye, are you really wearing black iron armor? Do you feel uncomfortable? It's been so long."
Li Ye's little face also turned red, thinking that there are differences between men and women, why are you touching me randomly? He didn't get angry, but just replied calmly: "Just get used to it, it will be fine."
Agui was here to add to the chaos, and said garrulously: "Princess, you don't know that when I first started wearing it, the young master's body was covered with blood every day, which was scary. It was the husband who gave the young master an unknown number of medicinal baths to heal him up."
body."
After hearing Agui's words, the young lady looked at the blushing Li Ye and couldn't help but be stunned.
The Master said: "Toughing up one's mind and working out one's muscles and bones, what a sage does is very good!"
It was only today that Ye Zhiqiu found out that his son had suffered so much and suffered so much, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't stop crying.
The general's wife was also very distressed and quickly comforted Mrs. Ye, saying: "This is all over. The child endured hardship for the sake of his future. Don't be sad."
Xu Jingyun gave Li Ye a look of approval, thinking that this child is really not a flower vase and will definitely do something good in the future.
The young lady looked at Li Ye with red eyes and bit her lip: "Li Ye, you are very good."
Li Ye didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so big, so he hurriedly added tea to everyone, looked at Agui and said, "Who told you to talk too much? Can you practice without suffering? From tomorrow on, you can join me and ask the husband to find you a
Dharma practice."
Agui was so frightened that he didn't say anything and stood behind the master.
He looked at the young lady again and blurted out: "As long as you don't tell people outside that you want to beat me all the time, that'll be fine!"
When everyone heard this, they laughed out loud again. The two ladies were crying, and suddenly they became laughing with tears.
Two peach blossoms flew on the young lady's face.
Master Jingyun looked at Li Ye and said, "Li Ye, you and your husband have been practicing for so many days. How many levels of Qi are you at now?"
Li Ye made a frightened sound in his heart, thinking that he must have seen my cultivation level. He turned his head and gave Jingyun a gift in return: "I am not a talented student. I am practicing with my husband. What I have learned is too complicated. I only gathered the third level of Qi a few days ago."
Jingyun looked at Li Ye carefully and said: "Not bad, Wushuang is now at the fifth level of Qi Gathering. Although you have learned a lot, you must practice hard and not fall too far behind Wushuang."
The Master is also a practicing person, but he has not cultivated the Formless Dharmakaya, so naturally he cannot see his son's cultivation.
Following Xu Jingyun's words: "I have the same attitude as Master Jingyun. Even though you have learned a lot of knowledge, you must not fall behind in your practice, otherwise you will be laughed at by Wushuang."
Agui didn't dare to talk any more. Young Master Xindao was struck by lightning twice. How could he only gather Qi at the third level?
Li Ye stood up, returned the gift to his elders, and said, "Thank you for your concern, elders. Li Ye will definitely practice hard and try to catch up with the princess's cultivation level in the morning."
Everyone nodded, knowing that children can be taught.
Li Ye thought to himself: What would happen if you knew that I am now at the second level of Foundation Establishment?
After three courses of tea, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and night fell. The master asked Agui to harness the academy's carriage and take him away to the guests of the General's Mansion.
A family of three from the Academy sent three guests from the General's Mansion to the door.
The lady of the academy took the young lady's hand with a look of reluctance on her face and said that she remembered to come over to study. The young lady nodded in response.
As the carriage was leaving, the general's wife stretched out her head and said, "Li Ye, you went to the Great Buddha Temple today and didn't become a monk, right?"
When Li Ye heard this, his face turned red again, and he quickly replied: "Madam, the student just went to ask the master for Buddhist teachings, and has never become a monk."
After hearing this, everyone laughed. The coachman raised his whip and the carriage left in the night.
Mrs. Confucius looked at her son and was very satisfied.
Li Ye looked at his parents and said softly: "My son worshiped Ku Chan as his teacher today and took the Buddhist name "Wuchen". He needs to abide by some precepts and is not a monk. Please don't worry, parents."
