Xu Tonghui’s schedule during this period was very regular.
Exercise every morning and evening and swimming after exercise are fixed.
The young master taught him the open-frame body-training boxing. The more he practiced it, the more Xu Tonghui was able to feel the endless benefits of it, and the requirements of this boxing method on form, mind, and heart were not generally high.
The form is easy to say, Xu Tonghui has a very good memory, he memorized the stance firmly on the day he learned boxing, and he was almost flawless.
It's not that simple anymore.
The young master actually just gave him four words that day, "Song, quiet and natural".
At the beginning, Xu Tonghui did quite well. When he concentrated on doing this set of boxing techniques, Xu Tonghui felt that he quite met the requirement of "relaxed, quiet and natural".
But not long after, when I was punching, the reaction of Qi and blood in my body began to become stronger.
In fact, Qi and blood sometimes began to turn against the guest, which not only deformed his frame, but also made his "meaning" become fragmented and messy.
Xu Tonghui once again asked the young master for advice.
The young master's answer was, "Pine and tranquility are natural, choose two of these four words. Forget about pine and tranquility, embrace it naturally."
So Xu Tonghui fought with peace of mind again.
After one fight, the young master smiled and said that he had entered the second level of this boxing technique.
"Master, how many levels does this boxing technique have?" Xu Tonghui asked curiously.
"How high your realm is, there will be as many levels as there are. Three, five, eight, ten are all possible."
The young master said this at that time.
Xu Tonghui was shocked. Such an "open-frame physical training boxing" was completely beyond his imagination. The only similarity between it and the banker's open-frame physical training boxing was probably the name.
Others are completely two different things!
So, with great concentration, Xu Tonghui practiced this boxing method down-to-earth, no longer regarding it as just a daily exercise in the morning and evening, but as the highest inheritance.
After exercising in the morning and evening, Xu Tonghui will do some chores.
Especially during the period when the young master was not around, he seemed to be addicted to being a carpenter and started tinkering with a lot of things piecemeal.
For example, make yourself a wooden pillow frame.
For example, I made a wooden pot rack and dish rack for Tian Hao, as well as an "automatic cleaning tube" for dishwashing, etc.
He enjoyed it and started playing.
It seems to be killing time, and it seems to be experiencing and feeling the "mind" and "heart" in a very personal way.
But other than that, it’s all about making friends.
Receive people who come to visit, and attend invitations from others.
Regarding this aspect, the young master actually had instructions or suggestions before, hoping that he would socialize more and meet more different people.
Xu Tonghui naturally followed the instructions.
This morning, after eating two dry pancakes filled with meat hearts and drinking a steaming bowl of "White Jade Soup" with miscellaneous sauce, Xu Tonghui received a familiar visitor.
Miao Xinghe from Juxing Tower, and he was the only one this time.
Xu Tonghui immediately realized that this visit might be different from the previous ones, because during previous visits, Miao Xinghe was always with at least two people, and sometimes three.
There must be a reason for this exception.
Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Miao Xinghe used a certain gossip to bring the topic to the cultivation of family children.
"After reading "The Road to Qingyun" written by you, my brother, I opened my eyes. Not only that, but even in the dialogue book, I was amazed by the assessment of Ye family studies."
"To be honest, my brother, the Miao family where I belong is not a big family, but it is still among the sixth-grade families. It can be considered a name in Annan."
The banker used to be a seventh-grade family, but it was already the dominant one in Qingshui City.
The difference between the seventh and sixth grades seems to be only one, but in fact it is extremely difficult to cross this level. If there is no great luck and opportunity, let alone a thousand years, even ten thousand years, it is estimated that there will be no step forward.
But that threshold.
Seventh grade, a low-grade family belonging to the "lower third grade". Although it is the highest grade among the lower three grades, it is still a low grade family.
In daily interactions, Xu Tonghui could hear disdain for low-class families from other people's words more than once, as if a well-dressed person looked at a ragged person.
The sixth grade belongs to the "middle third grade" family.
Although it is only the lowest grade among the third grade, it is still the middle grade after all!
A low-grade person can only live in a small place like Qingshui City, but a middle-grade person can enter this county and develop, and even enter the imperial capital.
He has that qualification!
Therefore, the seventh grade and the sixth grade may seem to be one grade apart, but they actually belong to two completely different classes!
Xu Tonghui didn't understand this before, but now he does.
Xu Tonghui nodded and motioned for Miao Xinghe to continue. He also complimented him, "The sixth grade is already very good."
This is indeed what he means.
Regardless of his past identity, even if he is the head of the banker, he can only look up to the sixth-grade family.
Now the banker no longer needs to look up to the sixth-grade aristocratic family, but only in name. It is still unknown how much time it will take to truly implement the saint's decree for the fifth-grade aristocratic family!
All we can say now is that the upward channel has been opened.
But in essence, the banker is still at level seven!
Therefore, Xu Tonghui couldn't be more sincere when he said that the sixth grade was very good.
However, because his expression was calm and there was no fluctuation in his heart, and based on his preconceived understanding, Miao Xinghe naturally heard another meaning.
Just like what he usually said to the juniors in his family or sect, "Well, you have entered the middle level of Qi Condensation? Not bad, not bad, very good, come on!"
Thinking of this, Miao Xinghe couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Indeed, the difference is too far!
However, what should be said must be said, "Yes, the sixth grade is already very good. The ancestors of the Miao family have gone through countless generations of pioneering to create a situation like today."
"I used to be quite proud of this, but after reading "The Road to Qingyun" written by you, brother, and comparing the ethnography in it with that of my family, alas!"
Having said this, Miao Xinghe shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's hard to put into words!"
Can I say that I was shocked when I first saw it?
It is probably much more shocking than yours!
Xu Tonghui also smiled bitterly in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, just a faint smile.
He is now very familiar with this kind of performance. At this moment, he can perform it perfectly without even using 10% of his skill.
Miao Xinghe did not let Xu Tonghui wait for too long, and quickly went on to say: "The three assessments of literature, mathematics, and Taoist poetry made me amazed. At that time, I had some thoughts and impulses in my heart."
"But because the matter is of great importance and involves a millennium of family inheritance, I have been thinking about this matter these days."
Xu Tonghui is performing, so why not Miao Xinghe?
"I have discussed it more than once with the old guys from Sihaimen. It was not until recently that I finally made a decision, or in other words, I had a preliminary idea."
Having said this, Miao Xinghe paused and looked at Xu Tonghui with bright and sincere eyes.
"Annan is remote. The younger generations in our family are even more shallow. They don't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. In the past, they were either arrogant or blindly confident.
The other one is timid and dull, and when I think about it, I can't help but feel angry and sigh."
"Children are like this, it will be better when they grow up." Xu Tonghui said.
"Yes, it could only be like this originally," Miao Xinghe said, "But after watching your journey to success, brother, and discussing with some old guys, we old men have some ideas."
"Here in Annan, this is how it is in our Sihai Sect. The other forces are actually similar. Everyone is basically the same."
"There is no need to talk about assessments in the family. Even who is higher or lower among the children can only rely on the observation and judgment of the elders. But the assessment you wrote, brother, provides us with a ready-made and feasible method.
"
"But it may not be good to completely spread out the stalls from the beginning."
"After discussing with some old guys, I plan to hold a different kind of assessment in the Juxing Building, which is to gather the more outstanding juniors from the major forces in the county and city, and let them do it in the way of 'Tao poetry'
A horizontal comparison between many people in the field.”
"On the one hand, it allows them to have the honor to receive the baptism of 'Tao Shi'. On the other hand, it also allows them to open their eyes and see how many outstanding peers there are around them, so as to prevent them from becoming arrogant and arrogant.
His behavior is despicable and his appearance is disgusting.”
"Brother, do you think this is feasible?"
What opinions does Xu Tonghui have?
Could it be that if he said this was not feasible, the other party would not do it?
I guess he doesn't have such a great reputation.
No, it's not an estimate.
Definitely not!
When the other party asked him this, it was more of a polite acknowledgment than a request for advice.
"It is definitely feasible. If you hold such a gathering among the disciples, even if you don't gain anything, you will definitely lose something. So I think you can give it a try." Xu Tonghui nodded and said.
Hearing this, Miao Xinghe was overjoyed!
Not only was he overjoyed in his heart, but the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Of course, there seems to be no need to cover up.
"That's great!" Miao Xinghe even spoke in a much louder voice, full of excitement and surprise, "Brother, we are not very familiar with the 'Taoist Poetry' thing."
"Don't talk about those juniors, even we old people, to be honest, can't grasp the pulse of this poem."
"So, brother, I have a request."
"This request is also made by the old guys who are acting on my behalf, that is, by the entire Sihaimen."
"Senior, please tell me." Xu Tonghui said.
Xu Tonghui felt uneasy as he spoke.
You and I are not familiar with 'Dao poetry', and your brother and I are equally unfamiliar with that thing!
