The capital city in October of the lunar calendar is already very cold. The temperature in the morning is generally below 5 degrees Celsius. The frosted fish pond even has a layer of thin ice, and the trees in the courtyard are basically bald.

On the third day of the 10th day of the fifth year of Jiajing, light snow fell from the sky, and the northwest wind shaved off the remaining yellow leaves on the trees like a razor. The cold that eroded bones and invaded the muscles completely declared the arrival of severe winter.

In Xu Mansion in Xiaofang, several pots of charcoal fires were burned in the warm pavilion in the backyard, warming up like spring. Xu Jin lay comfortably on the sofa with blankets, with Xie Xiaowan's jade legs on the back of his head, and his feet reached to Fei Ruyi's arms on the other side, and his hands were playing with an object similar to a Rubik's Cube.

Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi were doing needlework while chatting about family matters while Fei Jixiang sat next to the coffee table opposite the sofa, holding his cheek with one hand and looking through the account book to calculate the profits of the Xu family's industry last month.

Among the three daughters, Fei Ruyi is the oldest. She is twenty-six years old this year. After giving birth, Ruyi's body shape is still slim and more plump and graceful. Yichen Yixi's pretty face and bright eyes are nice and graceful. She is not only beautiful and charming, but also has more and more temperament.

Xie Xiaowan and Fei Jixiang are about the same age. The former is several months older. Xiaowan is gentle and pretty, auspicious and generous, and each is good at spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.

The north wind was whistling outside the window, and the charcoal fire was raging in the room. The three girls were doing the work at hand while chatting about homework. The gentle eyes fell on the husband who was seriously playing with the Rubik's Cube from time to time, and their three moving pretty faces were filled with happiness.

They don’t care about power or wealth, they just want a family to be in harmony and peace. In fact, this is great now. Your husband doesn’t have to go to court or lead troops to fight. They don’t have to worry or worry about it.

Xu Jin's Rubik's Cube was in the third level. He had already put the five sides together, but the last side could not be played well. In the end, our Duke Jingguo was a little discouraged. He put the Rubik's Cube on the coffee table and said to himself: "No matter how hard he works, can't he work well, is it because Zhier made a mistake?"

By the way, Xu Jin took advantage of his spare time to "invent" several puzzle toys for his children to play with, and let them develop their brains. This Rubik's Cube is one of them. Of course, Xu Jin provided ideas as usual, and then asked He Zhier to be responsible for the production.

As a result, the third-level Rubik's Cube has been made, but Duke Jingguo himself is not good at all, so he is naturally embarrassed to give it to his son Xu Kang to play. Otherwise, if the kid asks his father to demonstrate it, but his father can't do it well, it would be too shameful. So Xu Jin has been thinking about this third-level Rubik's Cube these days, but the facts have proved that our Duke Jingguo does not have talent in this regard.

"Husband, let me try it!" Fei Jixiang put down his account book, reached out and picked up the third-level Rubik's Cube on the coffee table for a while, then turned his fingers left and right...

More than ten seconds later, Fei Jixiang happily handed over the Rubik's Cube and said, "Husband, is this the case?"

When Xu Jin saw it, he immediately flicked up like a burning butt, rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said, "It's really restored. This... it's not that the blind cat hit a dead mouse."

As soon as this said, Lord Xu immediately took three angry eyes and Fei Jixiang's severe punishment, which made him grin.

After being taught, Duke Yasukuni refused to believe it. He disrupted the Rubik's Cube again and asked Fei Jixiang to restore it again. As a result, the latter took the Rubik's Cube and recovered it in just two or three minutes.

Xu Jin was stunned now. Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi couldn't help laughing when they saw their husband's embarrassing appearance.

A hint of lust flashed in Fei Jixiang's eyes. The reason why she was able to restore the Rubik's Cube so quickly was not because she was extremely talented. In fact, she had been practicing secretly for two days, but this was also very powerful, at least better than our Prince Jingguo.

Xu Jin hugged Fei Jixiang in his arms and said, "My family Jixiang is such a genius. Please teach me as your husband. Let's look back and show off in front of Kang'er."

Fei Jixiang broke away from Xu Jin's arms with awesomeness and said angrily: "Husband is not serious. Kang'er, Xiyan, Xiyun and others are playing with building blocks next door. They broke in and ran into each other carefully."

As soon as Fei Jixiang finished speaking, the curtain was raised and he rushed in. However, it was not Xu Kang, but Emperor Jia Zhu Hougui in casual clothes, followed by the eunuch Huang Jin, the imperial prisoner.

I saw Zhu Hougui dressed like a rich man, with a white long gown covering a big red troupe, a silver fox shawl, and a red tassel crown on his head. He was so handsome that he was really outrageous.

"This ghost weather is so cold. Sister Xiaowan, I want to eat spicy mutton offal today!" Jiajing rubbed his hands and said with a greedy look on his face. After saying that, he took off his big arms and handed them to Huang Jin, and then sat down politely by the charcoal stove.

Everyone had long been used to this master coming uninvited, so Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi quickly stood up to salute.

Xu Jin said angrily: "The emperor came to me here to eat and drink freely, is there no food in the palace?"

Jiajing curled his lips and said, "The spicy mutton offals in the palace are as delicious as Sister Xiaowan's. Hey, what fresh thing is this?"

Jiajing's eyes fell on the Rubik's Cube in Xu Jin's hand, and he couldn't help but lit up and asked curiously.

Xu Jinzheng was unhappy that the boy came to call his wife, so he said "with bad intentions": "This is called a Rubik's Cube, which can measure a person's IQ!"

Jiajing naturally understood the word IQ, and immediately became interested. He snatched the Rubik's Cube from Xu Jin and looked at it. He said, "Rubik's Cube, what a strange name, can I measure IQ? How to test it?"

"It's very simple. Please see, the six sides of the Rubik's Cube are of different colors and are composed of nine small squares... After being disrupted like this, if it can be restored within a cup of tea, the IQ is normal, otherwise it will be abnormal. In other words, it is a fool!" After Xu Jin said that, he twisted the Rubik's Cube and smiled: "Do you want to test it?"

Jiajing is so handsome that he is naturally not willing to be outdone. He took the demon and started to work hard. Xu Jin raised his legs and poured himself a cup of tea to watch the show.

Soon, Xu Jin almost finished the cup of tea and reminded him in a slight way: "Master, it's time for a cup of tea!"

Jiajing's face was flushed and he said annoyedly: "It's normal for me to be unfamiliar with this thing for the first time. This time it doesn't count, come back!"

Xu Jin smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, but he couldn't laugh soon, because that boy Zhu Houcan was obviously much more skilled than the first time. When he finished drinking the tea, although Zhu Houcan did not completely restore the Rubik's Cube, he also restored three sides and made rapid progress.

"I can do it again!" Zhu Houcong naturally refused to admit that he failed his IQ and was going to come for the third time with a shameless face.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't stand it anymore, and smiled at her husband with anger, "Your Majesty, don't listen to your husband's nonsense. He can't even restore this Rubik's Cube himself!"

Zhu Hou was stunned for a moment, then threw the Rubik's Cube back into Xu Jin's arms, laughing and said, "You bastard, you dare to tease me, and punish you to restore it within a cup of tea. Otherwise, I would ask the guards to fork you out to parade the streets, and the words "I would have to be posted on my chest with the word "I'm fool."

Xu Jin shamelessly handed the Rubik's Cube to Fei Jixiang beside him and said, "Why use a ox knife to kill a chicken? Jixiang, show it to the emperor."

Fei Jixiang chuckled lightly, took the Rubik's Cube and started moving quickly. Soon, the Magic recovered easily and magically.

"Sister Jixiang is amazing, teach me quickly!" Zhu Houcan said in surprise.

Zhu Houxiang is really smart. With Fei Jixiang's guidance, he actually restored the Rubik's Cube. He tried it several times and the more he played, the smoother he got. Xu Jin was completely speechless. It seemed that playing Rubik's Cube really requires talent.

Zhu Houcon restored the Rubik's Cube again and said proudly: "This thing is actually similar to Jiulianhuan. There is nothing else. Only by being familiar with it, practice makes perfect!"

"The emperor is wise, I admire him!" Xu Jin gave a flatterer without blushing.

Zhu Houqiu rolled his eyes and said, "Stop, let's go to the study. I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Jin had long expected that this kid would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, so he took Jiajing to the study.

"Hey, is this a subject in the martial arts lecture hall?" Zhu Houcan's eyes were quite terrifying. As soon as he entered the study, he found a volume of books that Xu Jin had placed on the desk.

Xu Jin nodded. The martial arts lecture hall located in western Beijing will be completed soon. As the founder of the martial arts lecture hall, Xu Jin naturally had to design what subjects the martial arts lecture hall should teach.

In fact, when he first proposed the idea of ​​a martial arts lecture hall, Xu Jin began to think about what the martial arts lecture hall should teach. However, Xu Jin had never studied in the military academy in his previous life, and it was now the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it was impossible to copy the Whampoa Military Academy. Fortunately, Xu Jin had experienced many battles in his life and knew everything about ancient wars. With his knowledge and experience, it was not difficult to design a systematic teaching subject.

After more than a year of preparation, Xu Jin took advantage of this time of leisure time at home and finally designed the subjects of the professors in the martial arts lecture hall. He dared not say that it was perfect, but it was definitely enough. It would be gradually improved and improved in practice in the future.

Jiajing carefully looked through the teaching syllabus of the martial arts lecture hall. Although he couldn't understand many places, he could also see that Xu Jin had spent a lot of thoughts in it. He closed the booklet and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work Xu Qing!"

"The matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king is what the minister should do!"

Jiajing said happily: "If all the civil and military officials in the court are like Xu Qing, why worry about the rebellion of our Ming Dynasty? By the way, a rebellion occurred in Tianzhou, Guangxi recently. I have sent Wang Shouren to quell the rebellion. What do Xu Qing think?"

Xu Jin said calmly: "The disease of scabies is so suffocating, Lord Wang will definitely fight to the turmoil."

Jiajing felt relieved when he heard this, nodded and said in a deep voice: "I think so too. My real enemy of the Ming Dynasty is Altan, the wolf. If this beast is not destroyed, my Ming Dynasty's border will be unstable!"
