Chapter 85: Martial Arts
The dinner was going on in a quiet and harmonious manner. After that, Mrs. Lin sat in the upper seat and enjoyed her grandchildren. The hall was surrounded by a few children and grandchildren, and it was very lively.
Mrs. Lin asked Lin Husheng and Lin Xianzhi’s homework.
Lin Husheng and Lin Xianzhi studied at Sanzhi Academy. Every six days of reading, they would come back to take a day off. Sanzhi Academy has a famous academy in Suzhou. There are also Mr. Fan Daozhi, a world-famous scholar, and Wang Shiming, known as a talented man in Jiangnan, teaches knowledge. In this way, many scholars have come to Sanzhi Academy. From the beginning, fifty or sixty people have left, and older and knowledgeable people will be left as teachers to teach students.
"What have you learned in the academy in the past half month? Let's talk about it."
"Lao Tzu said, "The way will lead to virtue, and the loss of virtue will lead to be kindness; the loss of people will lead to righteousness, and the loss of righteousness will lead to etiquette." Lin Xianzhi said jokingly.
"What sir said is understandable?"
"Those who lose are dispersed. The Tao is dispersed and virtue is dispersed and benevolence is benevolence, the benevolence is dispersed and righteousness is dispersed and righteousness is dispersed and rituals are propriety. The five have always been used together, but the Tao is just wonderful. Lao Tzu talked about its body, so he said: etiquette is the thinness of loyalty and trustworthiness and the head of chaos."
When Mrs. Lin heard the words, she nodded with relief, "Well, we are really smart and have a clear mind."
Yan Hanyu listened carefully to them. My cousin was studious and had a high understanding. This is what the Lin family knew. The Lin family had several generations of shipbuilding and the art of diligent shipbuilding, but none of them had achieved any success in their knowledge. Lin Xianzhi's parents passed away at a young age, so he naturally put more effort into studying than others.
Mrs. Lin looked at Hanyu who was listening humbly and respectfully, and continued, "Hanyu is here in Suzhou for the first time. You must get along well. This girl is easier to learn than you. She holds books all day long, and it takes a few hours. These girls in the Lin family are not as smart as our Hanyu."
"Hiss!" Lin Husheng exclaimed, "It turns out he is a nerd, no wonder he looks daiy."
"When can you say something nice to you guys!" Mrs. Lin just wanted to seal his mouth.
"Mom, I don't want to listen to me, I'm leaving. I'm going to go back to sleep." Lin Husheng said, and got up and walked out, slipping faster than anyone else's feet, as if he was escaping from something.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't have time to say anything. She could only watch him disappear in the blink of an eye, and she was very angry.
Yan Hanyu smiled with pursed her lips. Isn't he just escaping? He was afraid that his grandmother would ask him about his homework. He couldn't answer, so he left as soon as possible. The next moment she looked up and met Lin Xianzhi's gaze, smiled, and lowered her eyes.
Mrs. Lin turned to Hanyu and said, "Hanyu, don't worry. That boy dares to bully you, I won't spare him."
Hanyu thanked, "Thank you grandmother for maintaining it."
"It's getting late, Xianzhi will go back to rest earlier. And so do you guys, go back."
"My grandma should also rest early." Lin Nian'er said.
"Ping'er, although you apologized to A-Ni'er today, you should also apologize to your sister and Hanyu. If you didn't listen to A-Ni'er and Hanyu, you were wrong, and you were wrong if you hurt Nian'er and Hanyu. You also need to apologize even more. Does A-Ni'er say make sense?"
Lin Ping'er lowered her eyebrows and bit her lower lip. She stopped for a while before saying, "Nian'er, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter if the eldest sister is hurt by Nian'er, Nian'er won't take it seriously. After all, the eldest sister is Nian'er's real sister, but the eldest sister cannot hurt Hanyu's cousin."
Lin Ping'er felt uncomfortable after hearing her words, but she didn't say it. She just continued, "Cousin Hanyu, I'm sorry for accidentally hitting you two days ago."
Yan Hanyu only said three words, "It's okay." His tone was light and he couldn't hear anything.
"Okay, all of them are sisters, so you should get along well and don't be hurt by the harmony in the future."
"My grandma is also having a good rest, we're back." Lin Xianzhi frowned slightly after hearing their words, and quickly sootheed, and said goodbye to Mrs. Lin.
"Go back."
The three siblings went out one after another, and then Hanyu left.
Mrs. Lin explained to her maid again, and Hanyu returned to Qionghua Pavilion.
After returning to Qionghua Pavilion, Yan Hanyu originally wanted to read the book for a while, but she felt that she was not attentive, so she simply washed up early and prepared to rest.
Before going to bed, she couldn't help but turn out the medicine box that Madam Hong had prepared for her. There was a long silver tube that was particularly eye-catching. She opened the lid on it and in the dark night under the candlelight, she could see clearly that there were slender silver needles inside. This was Madam Hong's thing. Madam Hong left too unexpectedly and didn't have time to take anything. The silver needle was originally packed and brought to Suzhou. She now came alone and brought it with her.
Madam Hong told her that silver needles can save people, hurt people, and kill people.
Yan Hanyu wanted to learn how to save people, but she felt that it would be impossible to save people only. If she could protect herself, this thing would be of greater use. If she met a bad person on the road, or if someone wanted to bully her, who would know about a weapon like a silver needle?
She put away the medicine box and went to find the book on meridians and acupoints. She thought about it for half an hour. Madam Zhou called her twice before she had to go to bed.
Before, she was reading medical books alone, but no one taught her. Yan Hanyu was confused all the time, but now she finally knew what she was going to do. Yan Hanyu also put in effort to study meridian acupoints and repeatedly pondered several important acupoints in the human body.
The next day, the sky was clear and Yan Hanyu got up early. After waking up, she went to the second floor first. She originally wanted to read the book for half an hour, but she heard the punches and kicks and shouts not far away. She walked towards the open window, and the sun rose eastward, shining with bright brilliance. Outside a courtyard wall, there was an open space, two teenagers were entangled and fought passionately.
Seeing them fighting like this, Yan Hanyu suddenly remembered that her grandmother was also good at martial arts.
Lin Husheng's martial arts were taught by Mrs. Lin, but later, when Mrs. Lin gave birth to Lin Husheng, she was in poor health. After Mr. Lin passed away, she suffered a great loss and she stopped practicing for many years.
However, Lin Husheng has never put aside his martial arts practice. He has been active since childhood. It is as uncomfortable to let him study as he doesn't let him eat. This hobby of practicing martial arts is naturally continuing.
Lin Xianzhi has been following Lin Husheng since he was a child. The two of them are also playmates, so naturally they also learned a set of exercises with Lin Husheng.
Yan Hanyu simply stopped reading, so she held her chin and sat at the window watching them fight. As she looked at her, she couldn't help but think of Shizuka. In the past, Shizuka lived in the Lu family and liked to watch Lu Youhan practice martial arts, just to make her want to practice martial arts.
Hanyu is different. In her previous life, she also watched her cousin and uncle practice martial arts, but she felt bored and saw that they practice martial arts was just passing the time. Now Yan Hanyu suddenly had this idea, and she also wanted to learn some martial arts.
Until Amei came and called her that she was going to wash and have a meal, she stopped watching.
