Two days passed like this, and Li Mu's injury was completely healed, and Xiaochan agreed to let him go out for a walk.
As a first-class big city in the south, Jiangning has been prosperous since ancient times. Although it does not have the high-rise buildings now, it is quite nice to walk on the clean bluestone road and look at the antique streets and shops on the roadside, with the flow of people coming and going, chatting and laughing.
enjoyment.
The Su family was not far from the Qinhuai River. Li Mu and Xiaochan walked and walked, and after a while they reached the Qinhuai River.
As one of the most prosperous and lively places in Jiangning, the various painted boats that come and go on the Qinhuai River also opened Li Mu's eyes.
It is said that it becomes more lively after nightfall. Not only are there more boats, but also various women show off their talents, singing and dancing. It is extremely extravagant. People come and go all night long, making it almost a city that never sleeps.
Seeing Xiaochan staring at him nervously, Li Mu smiled, because he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation!
As a son-in-law, I would not go to a place like this just a few days after getting married.
Li Mu looked at the nervous Xiaochan, smiled and shook his head: "Let's go!"
Xiaochan lowered her head and whispered: "Uncle, Miss is very good. Miss didn't mean to avoid you, Miss..."
Li Mu nodded: "Yeah! What are you doing standing there? Let's go!"
Xiaochan said "Ah" and quickly covered her mouth and followed.
"Uncle, aren't you angry?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Why are you angry? Isn't this a good day?"
Xiaochan quickly nodded her head and agreed: "Yes! Uncle, you are such a kind person."
Li Mu smiled and said nothing.
After shopping for more than half an hour, the two of them headed back home. On the way, they happened to come across an elegantly decorated shop, which not only sold the Four Treasures of the Study, but also folding fans, calligraphy and paintings, and body accessories. There were also more than a dozen scholars hanging on the wall.
Wearing a long sword.
Li Mu looked at it for a few times, then turned around and walked in, and Xiao Chan hurriedly followed.
Li Mu looked at the Four Treasures of the Study, the folding fan, and finally at the hanging long swords. These long swords were exquisite in style, some even looked gorgeous, and looked extremely extraordinary.
In fact, this is just a scholar's sword, just decoration, mostly flashy.
Li Mu took off one and flicked it. The material and craftsmanship were indeed relatively ordinary, not even as good as the scabbard. Most of the cost of a sword was in the scabbard.
However, it is enough for him now. The sword of a scholar is more in line with his identity. After all, it is one of the six arts of a gentleman, so it will not look too out of the ordinary.
He chose a relatively less eye-catching one, took it off and said, "Shop, how do you sell this sword?"
The shopkeeper smiled and came forward and said: "Young Master has good eyesight. This sword is very popular. We have sold a lot of them recently, and they are all scholars like Master."
He stretched out a hand and said, "Sir, this one costs five taels of silver."
Li Mu was noncommittal. A long sword of this quality would cost only two taels of silver in a blacksmith shop. He just didn't want to bother.
After some haggling, Xiaochan joined in, and finally the deal was settled for four taels of silver.
Seeing Xiao Chan take out the silver from her delicate little purse to pay the bill, Li Muchen felt like he was eating too much. He shook his head, took the long sword, and walked all the way to the Su Mansion.
In the next two days, apart from staying at Su Mansion drinking tea and reading books, Li Mu took Xiao Chan out for a walk to appreciate the customs and customs of this world.
When the mood strikes, I will take out the long sword I just bought and play with it.
Now that he has mastered swordsmanship to this point, hard training is no longer necessary. Practicing swordsmanship every day is more of a habit for Li Mu.
In other words, I want to develop or maintain a feeling of hand or sword.
He knows a lot of swordsmanship, and he has read through not only the swordsmanship of the five mountain sects, but also the swordsmanship of the Jianghu sects.
Many sword techniques are not suitable for execution. For example, Huashan's Chaoyang Yiqi Sword, which is represented by the Qi Sword, is too grand when executed; there is also Huashan's Xiyi Sword Technique, which is silent when executed...
There are many other sword techniques that, once performed, would make even a layman think they are very powerful and do not suit his status.
In the end, Li Mu chose Yangwu Swordsmanship.
Mencius said: I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring Qi, so that it is strong and strong. If I cultivate it directly and do no harm, it will be blocked between heaven and earth.
The Song of Righteousness once said: In the vastness of righteousness and moral principles, the greatest and most upright and upright are nourishing and enlightening; there is no greatness outside the universe, and there is no small Taisu Gong within it.
This set of Yangwu sword techniques is different from other sword techniques. Just like the Songhe Boxing Sutra, it looks slow and slow when practiced, like a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, and the main purpose is not to fight. The moves focus on accumulating force and momentum, and using energy.
Leave four points for six points, be strong when you are strong, defend and lead the attack.
Therefore, the Yangwu sword is also famous for its defense. It is said that with a three-foot green sharp edge in the hand, it cannot be splashed by water or pierced by needles. It is an extremely rare set of superior Confucian swordsmanship.
The Quanzhen Sect is known as the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The Huashan Sect inherited part of the Quanzhen Taoism, so this set of swordsmanship has been handed down.
When Li Mugang was practicing this sword technique, Yue Buqun also asked him to read the Four Books and Five Classics for several months to explain Confucian concepts to him, especially Mencius.
Gradually, he became in tune with the artistic conception of this set of swordsmanship, and soon acquired it, which is regarded as one of his best swordsmanships.
At this time, as a scholar, I fit very well with this set of swordsmanship. In my combined memory, I have read many Confucian classics that I have read since I was a child. I can’t say that this set of swordsmanship is even better.
On this day, Li Mu had just practiced calligraphy in the study and went downstairs to get some air. Xiaochan, with excitement on her face and her round cheeks flushed red, ran over and shouted as she ran: "Uncle, uncle, uncle,
The lady is back, the lady is back.”
Li Mu smiled and said: "I know."
My wife, whom I have never met before, finally showed up, and she must have done some psychological construction to convince myself to accept him as my husband-in-law.
After being pulled out of the small courtyard by Xiao Chan, I saw a group of people coming here from a distance, including people with two or three bedrooms, as well as maids and stewards from the Su family.
The leader was a woman, tall and graceful, with an oval face, long black hair tied up with a belt, hanging down to her waist, and wearing a red cloak, which was quite eye-catching.
While smiling and talking to someone, he looked over.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Mu also looked over with a smile, and Su Tan'er was a little surprised by his calmness, which was different from the dullness he heard about.
The two looked at each other for a second. Su Tan'er took off her red cloak and handed it to the servant next to her. With a smile on her face, she walked over naturally. When she got close, she said with a slight blessing: "Mr.
As he said that, he naturally took Li Mu's arm, looking very natural, like a real young couple.
Then, he turned around and looked at everyone, introduced Li Mu one by one, and arranged for these people to do their own things. His words were very natural.
Finally, he showed his harmonious appearance and said in a low and gentle voice: "Mr. sir, let's go back."
Li Mu nodded: "Okay!"
As they talked, the two walked towards the yard. On the way, Su Tan'er said a few more greetings that seemed to be intimate, but actually kept a distance. Li Mu also responded lightly.
He knew in his heart that Su Tan'er was just showing off for outsiders to see. He didn't want others to see the joke, so how could it be so easy to accept his husband-in-law, whom he had never met before? Otherwise, he would not have shown up now, just to let his husband-in-law see him.
Calm down first.
Sure enough, after entering the small courtyard and without outsiders, Su Tan'er naturally let go of her hand and said with a concerned look: "My husband is recovering from his injury. He needs to have a good rest for a few days. Xiaochan followed him, what's the matter?"
, just tell Chan'er..."
Li Mu followed her words and said: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Madam is tired from being out these days. Let's go back and have a rest first!"
Su Tan'er said another blessing: "Thank you sir, Tan'er will go over first." After saying that, she took the two maids and walked towards her small building.
The small building where Su Tan'er lives is similar to the one where Li Mu lives, but there is a red word "happiness" posted on the second floor. It probably used to be Su Tan'er's boudoir and was regarded as a new house.
Li Mu returned to the study and continued drinking tea and reading. Over there, Su Tan'er returned to the boudoir with the two maids.
This is a common girl's boudoir, with all kinds of colorful decorations, trinkets, some books, and a small amount of nirvana.
Su Tan'er, an eighteen-year-old girl, untied the hair tie on her head and let her black hair spread out. She seemed to relax a lot. When she came to the window, she glanced at the small building opposite and seemed to see Li Mu standing there.
The figure looking for a book in front of the bookshelf, and the figure Xiaochan walking out with a smile after delivering tea.
Su Tan'er then said: "Juan'er, please ask Chan'er to come over."
Juan'er responded and went, and Su Tan'er directed Xing'er to return the small items that had been changed to decorate the new house one by one.
When it was time to speak, Xiaochan had already arrived.
"Miss."
Su Tan'er said: "How is my uncle?"
Xiaochan said seriously: "My uncle is very good, has a good temper, and is a nice person. In fact, he is not as dull as he said."
Su Tan'er was naturally very concerned about her marriage. Before the marriage, when she said she was looking for someone to marry into her family, she actually sent someone to investigate Ning Yi. She heard that he was an ordinary scholar who studied at home all day and had little contact with outsiders.
Somewhat honest, even dull.
Now it seems that the so-called rumors and information that we have found out are just superficial and not very accurate.
Thinking of the few conversations she had just had and the fact that she was holding his arm, she thought he would be at a loss. Unexpectedly, he behaved very naturally and cooperated with her back to the yard calmly.
"What have you been doing these days?"
Xiaochan thought for a while and said, "I didn't do anything. I read and practice calligraphy at home every day, or go out for a walk with Xiaochan."
"By the way, miss, my uncle also knows a kind of boxing technique that he says can keep good health. He practices it every morning. He even asked Xiao Chan to learn it, and Xiao Chan has almost learned it."
Su Tan'er was surprised and said: "Practice boxing? And teach you?"
Xiao Chan said: "Well! My uncle said that this boxing technique is simple and suitable for all ages. Miss, you can also learn it. When will you let Chan'er teach you? Well... let my uncle teach you."
Su Tan'er smiled: "Let's talk about it later. That's all?"
Xiaochan thought for a moment and said, "My uncle also bought a sword like that worn by scholars. He spent four taels of silver and played with it a few times. It looked slow, but it looked very good."
Su Tan'er was a little confused: "Sword!"
Xiao Chan nodded vigorously and said: "My uncle said that swordsmanship is one of the six arts of a gentleman and must be learned. Miss, you didn't see that when my uncle practiced swordsmanship, he was more elegant than the masters in the academy..." said
She gestured with her hands, probably not knowing how to describe it.
Su Tan'er smiled: "Okay! I understand."
Then he stared at several maids and said: "You guys, please be more respectful to my uncle from now on. You are not allowed to gossip about my uncle and I's affairs outside. Do you understand?"
Several little maids nodded in agreement.
Although Su Tan'er still had some doubts in her mind, this husband indeed exceeded her expectations and was much better than those she had found out.
Although they have just met, they have a good temperament, good height and good looks. From what Xiaochan said about the process of getting along with her in the past few days, she also has a good temper, no airs, and no worries.
In fact, it's probably not bad to just accept fate like this. Life can't be so perfect. She is already much better than many women.
The next few days passed by so uneventfully.
Li Mu quickly adapted to the Su family and the world, and lived quite leisurely every day.
The Su family was also happy to see him like this. The reason why he was allowed to marry was to prevent Su Tan'er from getting married and to stay at home and take charge of the Su family's business in the future.
There is no need for people who have great ambitions and want to get ahead.
Compared with him, Su Tan'er was a lot busier, but she knew how to handle things appropriately.
Although he was very busy every day, he would go home on time to have dinner with him. At the dinner table, the two of them would also chat for a few words. Li Mu seemed very casual. Su Tan'er gradually got used to this style, and sometimes she would take the initiative to talk.
There are some interesting things he encounters in his daily life, and of course Li Mu would laugh at them from time to time.
There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River. When it rains, I have a lot of time when I go out. Su Taner sometimes reads, occasionally plays the piano, and does embroidery. Li Mu can only stay in the study, practice calligraphy, and read books.
Have some tea.
The two sometimes see each other through the window and smile knowingly.
Sometimes Li Mu felt that the room was stuffy, so when the rain stopped, he would pick up his sword and go downstairs to play around.
An ordinary long sword was unfolded slowly by him. It looked ordinary. The long sword did not leave three feet in front of him, but it stretched out continuously, creating a rhythm and a special kind.
of beauty.
There is an air of majesty that can only be found in a scholar who has read poetry and books.
At this time, Su Tan'er always lay quietly on the window and watched, with curiosity in her eyes.
She didn't know if this set of swordsmanship was powerful or not. It was slow and lacked any sharpness, so it shouldn't be very powerful.
But she just felt it was good and comfortable to watch.
This husband of hers is actually talented, she murmured to herself.
