Ming Mo wiped the sweat from his head. At this time of year, the heat in the capital was unbearable.
My chest feels tight, and even if I use my internal energy, it still feels like it's just a drop in the bucket.
Looking at the dense grapevines, there is a shade below.
Mingmo walked a few steps quickly and reached a shady area. A gust of cool breeze hit him, and he sighed.
Ling Dong, who was standing aside and fanning Gu Chengyu, smiled at Ming Mo, then shook his head.
Mingmo knew what Lonicera meant and guessed that the master was asleep at the moment.
But he had something to report, so he was a little hesitant about whether to disturb his lord.
"What's the matter?" Gu Chengyu opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at Ming Mo.
A pair of misty peach blossom eyes seemed drunk but not drunk, and the corners of the bright red lips were slightly raised, making Lonicera fanning beside her look even more rosy.
The adults in her family are so good-looking, she can't imagine that there are such handsome and handsome people in this world.
No wonder Sister Lichun has always been obsessed with you, and she still refuses to say goodbye.
Thinking of this, Lonicera curled her lips.
Li Chun is already seventeen years old. Previously, the adults asked her to choose a steward or attendant in the mansion, but Li Chun was determined not to do so.
The Lord had no other choice, so he planned to transfer Lichun away from him.
I wanted to be promoted to steward, but I didn't want to wait in the house.
But in the end Lichun was taken away by the old lady, saying that since the adults didn't like Lichun serving her, then she should let Lichun serve her.
Before Lonicera, I saw that Li Chun often went to the old lady to show her courtesy and coax the old lady into a happy mood. This is why the old lady was so interested in her. Because of this, the adults were in trouble!
Who among the servants in the house doesn’t know what the beginning of spring is about?
Even adults must know this well, otherwise they would not transfer Lichun away from their side.
But Li Chun is just a girl after all. When the mistress of the house comes in, someone will naturally take care of her.
Of course Gu Chengyu also had the same thoughts. Lichun was just a girl, so he didn't have to spend his energy on Lichun.
"Sir" Ming Mo was thinking about it, but didn't want to be interrupted by a voice.
"Jinyu!"
Ming Mo looked helpless, "Yeah! There's no need for him to report it now."
Gu Chengyu sat up straight and looked at the grapes on the grape trellis. Hmm! They should be almost ripe.
"Jinyu! I have good news to tell you."
Zhu Pang ran in happily. He ignored the sweat on his face and danced towards Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu smiled, "But can you lift a hundred kilograms of boulder?"
These words successfully stopped Zhu Pang, and at the same time, the joy on his face was replaced by frustration.
"You really don't know how to lift a certain pot? I have practiced this foreign skill quite well, and my strength has increased a lot. It's just that the internal strength is growing slowly, and I still can't lift a hundred kilogram boulder."
Zhu Pang had a depressed face, sat down on the high table next to Gu Chengyu, and fell silent.
Gu Chengyu didn't care that his words had caused Zhu Pang 10,000 points of damage. He continued: "Then how heavy a boulder can you lift now?"
Next year there will be not only the literary examination, but also the martial arts examination.
I have said before that Zhu Pang wants to participate in martial arts and has been practicing hard in the past two years.
Gu Chengyu put Zhu Pang's martial arts secrets to great use. Zhu Pang was gearing up and looking forward to next year's martial arts examination.
"I can only lift about eighty kilograms."
Zhu Pang took a deep breath and smiled helplessly.
Although there is only twenty kilograms difference, these twenty kilograms are like a chasm that he cannot cross no matter what.
Gu Chengyu coughed lightly, "Actually, being able to lift eighty kilograms is already very impressive. A hundred kilograms of boulders are for the sake of being a martial artist. Don't ask for too much, after all, there is no one in the world who can lift it."
We have to move a boulder weighing over a hundred kilograms!"
Blindly attacking will only make Zhu Pang lose confidence, so he still needs to be encouraged appropriately. After all, Zhu Pang has already worked very hard.
It is not bad to achieve such results within two years. This is inseparable from Zhu Pang's usual hard work.
"Really?" Zhu Pang's eyes immediately became bright, and Gu Chengyu couldn't help but nodded.
"Maybe it's true." Gu Chengyu thought it was funny, but it wasn't true because he could lift it.
Of course, this is with the blessing of internal strength. In the past two years, he has strengthened the cultivation of internal strength and has achieved some success.
And they are not the only ones in the world who practice internal strength. Not to mention others, there are also those martial arts families who have countless disciples who practice internal strength. It just depends on the depth of the internal strength!
Zhu Pang was comforted by Gu Chengyu, and a smile finally bloomed on his face again.
Gu Chengyu silently turned his gaze back to the grape trellis above, because Zhu Pang's baby face was full of contradictions when compared with that strong body.
Originally, Zhu Pang's figure was somewhat rounded, and her face was also round, which made her look quite cute.
But ever since I started practicing the exercises, I have been experiencing a lot of physical exertion every day.
Therefore, Zhu Pang's food intake tripled, and in order to increase his internal strength, he also took a lot of natural and earthly treasures. Today, Zhu Pang has become a muscular man.
The bulging chest muscles and brachialis muscles on the arms are like running a horse, and the entire body is two or three times stronger than before.
Naturally, sportsmen and muscular men are not popular nowadays. Women prefer gentlemen who are suave and elegant.
Even Zhu Pang's mother couldn't help but persuade Zhu Pang not to continue practicing. He was stronger than his father.
"It rained for several days in a row the past few days, and it has finally cleared up today. However, it has been too hot since it cleared up. I am covered in stinky sweat even when I sit there."
Zhu Pang saw that there was not a drop of sweat on Gu Chengyu's face, and knew that Gu Chengyu was not afraid of heat, so he quickly ordered Lonicera to fan him.
"It is indeed different from previous years. This year it seems to be particularly hot."
Gu Chengyu nodded and couldn't help but think of Changtian Mansion far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
According to the news from Changtian Mansion, several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River have been hit by heavy rains in recent days, and the people are unbearable.
Among them, the situation of Changtianfu is the most worrying because it is close to the Tianya River.
The Tianya River is a river wider than the Jingyuan River, and it is also the most important transportation artery for water transportation.
Every year, countless grains, not to mention other items, are transported from the Tianya River to other state capitals, and the merchants coming and going are like crucian carp crossing the river.
It's just that it has been raining heavily for several days in Changtianfu, and it is now July, which is the flood season.
I am afraid that the river embankment at Changtian Mansion is not strong and the river water will collapse the embankment and submerge the farmland and houses downstream.
Gu Chengyu's worries are not without purpose. After all, the heavy rain this time came very quickly, and there is no sign of stopping yet.
He ordered people to pay attention to the movements of Changtian Mansion every day, fearing that if the embankment burst, thousands of people would drown.
Gu Chengyu frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that he still had to warn the emperor.
Although the river embankments were reinforced just two months ago, how can anyone be reassured by the work of the officials below?
