The Lofty Fierce Consort

? Yan Yan got up before dawn outside the next day.

Starting from her five-year-old martial arts practice, she practiced martial arts for one and a half hours every day at the age of five. This has been an untouchable practice for several years. The servants of Ningxiang Pavilion also knew the habit of the third girl, so they lighted the lamp early to prepare breakfast and hot water for Yan Yan's use.

When Yan Yan was just practicing martial arts, there was a small martial arts field in the mansion. In the past two years, she was instigated to seal her mother. Yan Yan changed her martial arts field to the small courtyard behind Ningxiang Pavilion. Here, the area is not large, but at least it is my own place, the door is closed, no one can control it.

First, warm up for a run, then sprint and plum blossom pile, then play a set of basic boxing and practice whip. When the set came down, it was exactly an hour and a half, and the whiteness of the belly had already appeared in the east of the sky.

Yan Yan was wearing a red-colored dress with narrow sleeves, her wrists and leggings, and a pair of red riding boots with a white bottom. Yu's cheeks are blushing, her eyes are bright, and the fallen hair is wet with sweat on her face. Even so, she doesn't even breathe.

Seeing Yan Yan stopped, Hui Niang took a cotton kerchief and walked forward.

"Three girls, wipe your sweat first, your whip is getting better and better."

"It's still not as good as Aunt Hui. I don't know when I will get to the point of Aunt Hui."

Yan Yan has seen Hui Niang's martial arts, not to mention that the whip made the clouds and flowing water awe-inspiring, and the light work of reaching the summit alone makes people salivate, but it is a pity that Yan Yan and Hui Niang have been practising for five years, that is, climbing trees. Just be agile, and still can't do the kind of Hui Niang that goes over the wall and enters the hospital like she's flat on the ground.

Hui Niang pursed her lips, put her veil on the tray beside her, and said: "Three girls, you are noble, martial arts are of no use, just learn something superficial, Hui Niang's kung fu is not suitable for you."

"why?"

In the past, when Yan Yan asked this question, Hui Niang never said it, but today she pondered for a while and said: "Hui Niang's skill is the skill of murder."

"kill?"

Hui Niang nodded, her eyes calm.

The word ‘killing’ made Hui Niang say so indifferently, as if it were not a big deal. It was only at this time that this middle-aged woman, who had condensed her brilliance and shameless appearance, showed that special point, and changed her usual low-key and inconspicuousness in Weiyuanhou's Mansion.

Hearing what Hui Niang said, Yan Yan was only surprised, but not surprised, because she still knew a little about Hui Niang's identity.

Hui Niang is not an ordinary person, let’s put it this way, Hui Niang is a person from the rivers and lakes. She was a well-known master in the rivers and lakes with her husband in the early years. .

Of course, this is also the name of the quack. When people outside look at the so-called quack, it is just a group of inferior people who lick the blood and eat rice.

They have very good martial arts, some of them occupy the mountains as bandits, some of their own gangs, and some of them work for the wealthy. In the early years, Hui Niang and her husband worked hard for a big salt owl and served as guests.

Private salt has always been a big deal, and there are no longer a few who secretly jealous and want to divide a cup, and the government has also spared no effort to crack down on private salt dealers. No matter how good the kung fu is, two fists are hard to beat four hands, so from the government's point of view, those who talk about these gangsters will only disdain.

Once, Yuanyang Shuangsha was excluding dissidents from his master, but the salt lords did not investigate, and the man killed had a big background in the government. Yuanyang Shuangsha was hunted down by the government, and the salt owl threw the two out as scapegoats in order to protect himself. Not to mention, he secretly sent someone to hunt down and kill others.

Mandarin ducks ran away hurriedly. In order to protect his pregnant wife, Hui Niang's husband was killed by someone sent by Yan Xiao to pursue and kill. Hui Niang also suffered a miscarriage and was seriously injured. At a critical juncture, Hui Niang was rescued. The person who saved her was a general under the gate of the town’s official in the early years and a local guard commander.

This commander originally came to track down the salt owl, but by chance, she rescued Hui Niang. Hui Niang lost her son and husband at the time, and she lost all her thoughts. The vengeance was cut off, she told all the things she knew about the salt owl, and promised that once she helped her get revenge, she would never hesitate to die.

As I said earlier, people in the government do not bother to run around.

Here we are going to talk about the martial arts training when Yan Yan was five years old. After all, she was a girl. It is always inconvenient to ask a male master to teach. The Lord Zhenguo thought of finding a female master for his granddaughter. This year, women practicing martial arts are rare, not to mention that there is still such a thing, so this matter was arranged by the town’s official.

So Hui Niang passed the command and envoy into the hands of Lord Zhen Guo, and after various tests and observations, she went to Yan Yan again.

Yan Yan didn't know Hui Niang's life together first, or she had developed feelings after a long time, Hui Niang told her little by little.

For Hui Niang, there was no concern in the world, and the only thought left was to repay her kindness. When she came to Yan Yan, her life had undergone earth-shaking changes. People were emotional animals, especially Yan Yan was a little baby at the time. After five years of getting along with her, the little girl has grown up, and Hui Niang has long since been in her own heart. Yan Yan treated her as her own daughter.

From her point of view, the three girls are Miss Everyone. The women in the gate of this mansion don't need any martial arts at all. They have followers when they walk, and they can't go out of the gate, so why bother to suffer. So in the past few years, she has only taught Yan Yan the basic skills, and then she has been a soft whip all the way. There is an accident, it is more than self-preservation, it is unnecessary to go deeper.

"Then Ayan can learn it?"

Hui Niang frowned slightly, "Why do the three girls want to learn this? This is of no use to you."

Yan Yan's eyebrows and eyes are low, "You see, I can't learn anything, female workers can't, let alone those edified temperament, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, people must have a proficiency, since you like it, you must learn the best. People can’t ask me in the future, what are you proficient in, if I turn back and reflect on it, all I can’t do?!"

At the end, she smiled freely, it can be seen that she wanted to open up and made a decision.

"It will be very hard."

"A Yan is not afraid of hardship."

This Hui Niang also agrees. Few girls, especially those from wealthy families, can practice martial arts like the Third Girl in winter and summer.

"Madam may not want to."

In fact, when is Shen Yiyao willing? She has been reluctant to Yan Yan to practice martial arts. She feels that she does not look like everyone else. The reason why Yan Yan has learned to practice for five years, two years earlier, was supported by the Lord Zhen Guo. Nian Yan Yan kept learning from her. Shen Yiyao has scolded and scolded them, but they are all useless, so she can only open one eye and close the other to let it go.

"From tomorrow, Hui Niang teaches the three girls."

Hui Niang agreed very readily. In fact, after all, martial arts practitioners are obsessed with finding a good apprentice. As a female, the three girls have good aptitude and perseverance, and learning her kung fu will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. Changing her status, Hui Niang had already accepted this apprentice, and she would not hesitate until now. Now that the three girls want to learn by themselves, she naturally wouldn't be hypocritical.

"Then it's settled, I'll go to bathe and change clothes first, and I'll go to Rong'antang to ask for peace later."

…

Yan Yan went to the bath and changed into a water-red pear blossom embroidered blouse with a moon-white clouded silk skirt. Mei Xiang and Mei Xue served her combing her hair one by one, and the other wiped her face with magnolia balm. Yan Yan is still young, so she doesn't need to apply grease or powder, just wipe some balsam to moisturize the skin.

Meixiang combed Yan Yan with a double flat bun and inserted a pair of red gold sardonyx flower fringe hairpins. Meixiang wanted to insert another butterfly hairpin, but Yan Yan stopped it. She has never liked to carry these burdens, just one or two embellishments.

Mei Xue sighed, saying that it was a pity that the girl always didn't wear so many jewelry, and it was a pity that it was placed in the jewelry box.

Yan Yan does have a lot of jewelry, not to mention the special cases in the mansion. Shen Yiyao prepared for her daughter, but she couldn't wear it only from the government of Zhenguo. Yan Yan has a large jewelry box made of small red sandalwood. There are five layers on top and bottom, and it is packed full, not counting the two small jewelry boxes on the dressing table.

After finishing packing, Yan Yan took Meixiang Meixue out. In the past, Yan Yan would go to the Jinseyuan to join Shen Yiyao every time she went to ask for peace, but today she was hesitant.

After thinking and thinking, she still went to Jinseyuan, but when she arrived, she learned that her mother had already gone to Rong'antang first.

Yan Yan's eyes flashed, turned around and went to Rong'antang again.

As the main courtyard where the Weiyuan Hou and his wife lived in the past, Rong'an Hall is naturally unusual. There are five main rooms with five frames, with three penthouses on each side, two wing rooms on the left and right side, hug the mansion in the front and back, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and magnificent.

In the past, Rong’an Hall was not called Rong’an Hall. It was named after the arrival of Wei Yuanhou in the past, but no matter what its name is, it has a name called ‘Zhengyuan’.

Daxi Architecture pays attention to stability and stability, especially the residences of wealthy families. Each mansion has a central axis. From the front yard of the mansion, which is the outer courtyard, to the inner courtyard (backyard), the special meanings or important buildings represented are all built on the central axis. For example, Zhongzheng Hall, where the daily office directors of Weiyuanhou in the front yard, and Rong'an Hall in the back yard, not only means standing upright, but also has the meaning of righteousness and centralism.

It stands to reason that Yan Ting and Shen Yiyao should have lived in the Zhengyuan as the place where the Weiyuanhou couple lived. However, the former Weiyuanhou passed away, and the wife of Weiyuanhou Pei lived as a widow. Now Weiyuanhou is very filial and can't bear his mother leaving where she lived with her father for many years. So he opened a new hospital, named "Jinse", and lived with the current wife of Weiyuanhou, Shen, but this place was still inhabited by the old wife.

This situation is not uncommon today. After all, filial piety is the first priority, but many elders are not so ‘uninterested’. This principle is like the Fengqi Palace, which represents the meaning of the queen. The Queen Mother will only live in Cining Palace and will not dominate the Queen's Fengqi Palace. It is not only a residence, but also represents the meaning of status and standing upright, and it also represents the recognition of your elders.

When Yan Yan started to understand these common senses, she felt weird when she looked at this'Rong'an Tang'. In addition to the weirdness in her heart for the past two years, she felt a sense of sarcasm.

Look at a person, don’t listen to what the person says, but see what the person does...

This sentence was when Zhen Guogong was teaching Shen Qi in his spare time, he was caught by Yan Yan on the side, and then he wrote it down.

Gradually, the more she saw, the more complicated she felt. The understanding of the complexity of human nature also started from this. ?
