Chapter 62(1/4)
·
On that day, Xiao Jian stood in the open space, holding the family-born sword in his hand, and was teaching Xiao Yanzi the "Fang Family Sword Technique".
Ziwei, Erkang, and Yongqi were all watching.
Xiao Jian said solemnly:
"Little Swallow! If you want to learn sword skills, you must first understand what the 'sword' is! You used to learn martial arts, but you didn't know what weapons you were holding, so you would learn it in a mess! Look, this is a sword, not a knife, not a dagger, and not a stick! Every time you hold a sword, you often chop it randomly, that's wrong! The sword is used to stab it! You have to stab it like this!"
The Xiao Jian danced the sword, but the sword energy was like a rainbow, which looked very beautiful.
The little swallow was stunned and admired.
"Wow! Wow! That's great! I'll come! I'll come..."
Xiaoyanzi took the sword and shouted:
"This is a sword! A very heavy sword! A famous sword! This is not a knife, it cannot be chopped! It is not a stick, it cannot be beaten! It is not a nine-section whip, it cannot be swung! It is not an axe, it cannot be chopped... This is a sword, it must be stabbed!"
"That's right! OK! Let's start!"
The little swallow shouted:
"The Fang family's sword technique is here!"
The little swallow danced his sword, and saw her stabbing a sword in the east and a sword in the west, with no rules and a mess.
Xiao Jian looked at him puzzledly, and everyone couldn't help laughing. Erkang and Yongqi looked at each other, and they shook their heads secretly, remembering the situation where Meng Dan taught Xiaoyanzi's sword technique. It seems that history has happened again.
Xiao Jian looked at it for a long time and felt that Xiao Yanzi was completely unaware of the rules, so he shouted:
"I want to fight you with empty hands. I will find a way to steal your sword. You treat me as your enemy. First, the sword cannot be snatched away by me. Second, I will find a way to stab me! Do you know?"
"Then...what should I do if I stab you?"
"You try it!" Xiao Jian jumped and jumped in front of Xiao Yanzi.
Xiaoyanzi held the sword and stabbed it. Xiao Jian kicked it with her foot. The sword in her hand flew out. Xiao Jian easily caught the sword.
"No! I'm not ready yet, just kick me!" Xiaoyanzi shouted in protest.
"Not busy! Come again... don't worry..." Xiao Jian handed the sword back to her.
Xiaoyanzi just caught it, and Xiaojian kicked it, and the sword flew again. Then, everyone looked at Xiaojian and kicked the sword off the left and right. Then, Xiaoyanzi became frizzy. Then, Xiaoyanzi grabbed the sword from the ground and shouted:
"What is the 'Fang Family Sword Technique' and 'Yuan Family Sword Technique', I don't care about it, Xiaoyanzi's sword Technique is here!" He held the sword in both hands and chopped Xiao Jian with one sword.
Xiao Jian kicked the sword and Xiao Yanzi's sword flew again.
"Are you teaching me or playing tricks on me?" Xiaoyanzi was so angry.
"If you cut indiscriminately like this, you will cut the sword! This sword has been passed down for three generations, and it cannot be destroyed in your hands!" Xiao Jian said patiently.
Yongqi was very anxious and couldn't help but come up to help, took the sword and went to demonstrate:
"Little Swallow, you have to hold the sword like this. Hold it firmly. Use the strength of your wrists! When you stab it out, you must be steady, not light, or brute force! Come on, Xiao Jian and I will practice with you! Don't be frigid!"
"Okay! I'm not frigid, I'm calm down!" Xiaoyanzi held the sword and said seriously to the sword, "This is a sword, this is not a knife, not a wooden stick, not a nine-section whip, not an axe..."
Erkang smiled, held Ziwei's hand, and the two walked away.
After a while, they were away from the empty yard. Erkang looked at Ziwei and asked thoughtfully:
"Ziwei, do you have any doubts about whether Xiao Jian and Xiao Yanzi are brothers and sisters?"
"Frankly, I'm really suspicious!" Ziwei nodded.
"Think about it, it is actually very far-fetched to prove that Xiao Yanzi is his sister based on the story Xiao Jian told! What can a Master Jinghui represent? More than ten years later, how can Master Jinghui recognize Xiao Yanzi as Xiao Ci by just a glance during the parade? Will Xiao Jian admit his wrong sister?"
"I'm really a little confused when I see Xiaoyanzi practicing swords! But..." Ziwei smiled, "So what if I'm wrong? So what if I'm right? They're all the same, right? Xiaojian is very satisfied, Xiaoyanzi is very happy, they are very happy, enjoying the feeling of having relatives and family! It's great! The emperor has misunderstood Xiaoyanzi, but he is still wrong! If Xiaojian also recognizes his sister, then Xiaoyanzi is really destined to be everyone's "My Fair Princess"! Even Xiaojian himself said it himself, so there is no need to be very clear! Maybe Xiaojian also knows that this 'sister' is unreliable!"
"Yes!" Erkang nodded, "Anyway, 'A man does not kiss his relatives alone, not only his son'!"
"Yes!" Ziwei smiled, "and not to mention 'When it comes to the ground, why bother with your brother'!"
Erkang looked at Ziwei deeply, with an admiring smile on his lips.
"What are you doing? Look at me strangely?"
Erkang looked at her for a long time and said only one thing deep in his heart:
"Ziwei...I really like you very much!"
Ziwei looked at him, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"I like you very much, too!"
While Xiao Jian taught Xiao Yanzi's sword technique, he also began to teach her to recognize words and read. He took two thick books and said to her solemnly:
"Learning idioms is like learning swords. You need to be a fundamental person. The most important thing is that you must first learn to recognize words! When you know all the words, the idioms will not be explained in a mess! The road has to be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten bite by bite! No matter what you learn, there is no shortcut in life! I have a very good book here. If you take it back and read it, you can't understand words, so ask Ziwei Yongqi and the others. After reading this book, your ability to recognize words is probably good!"
Xiaoyanzi picked up the book excitedly, and saw three big words printed on the cover: "Water Margin".
"Shui Xu Chuan?" Xiaoyanzi shouted, pronounced "Hu" as "Xu", and pronounced "Zhu" as contagious "Chuan".
Erkang, Yongqi, Ziwei wanted to laugh and held back.
Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Yanzi in confusion.
When Erkang and Ziwei looked at each other, their doubts became deeper. It seemed that the little swallow and Xiao Jian did not have much blood in common!
In the blink of an eye, it was already winter, and it was snowing several times in a row, and the weather was extremely cold. However, in Shufangzhai, it was as warm as spring. The blazing fire was burning brightly. Ziwei, Erkang, Yongqi, and Xiaoyanzi were heating up around the stove, eating melon seeds, eating snacks, drinking hot tea, and talking. Suddenly, Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi's notification came from outside:
"The Emperor is here!"
The four of them hurriedly got up, and Qianlong had already stepped into the room.
Everyone, please pay homage. Those who call Emperor Ama are called Emperor Ama, and those who call Emperor Ama are called Emperor.
Ziwei, Erkang, Yongqi, and Xiaoyanzi hurriedly moved a chair to Qianlong, handed the stove and got the cushion.
"Hurry up and sit by the fire! It's so cold that no matter which palace you come from, you will have to walk for most of the day!" Ziwei said.
"Empress! Use a hot towel to wipe your face!" Xiaoyanzi handed over the hot towel.
"Old Ma! Have a little hot tea!" Ziwei handed over the hot tea.
"Hold this stove in your arms and it will warm up in a while!" Erkang handed over the stove.
"This cushion is on the back. Do you want a blanket?" Yongqi handed over the cushion, and everyone was very busy.
Qianlong looked at the four of them and felt very comforted:
"I feel so warm when I see you guys, and it's not cold at all! What are you all talking about?"
"Go back to the emperor, guessing riddles!" Erkang said.
"Riddle?" Qianlong was very energetic, "I like riddles the most! I will say something, let me guess it too!"
"Little Swallow is the least capable," Yongqi said with a smile, "We will give her the shallowest riddle for her to guess, and she can't guess it after guessing!"
"Is that true? What riddle is it?"
"It's a riddle!" Erkang read the riddle, "The tall ones are not, the short ones are not; the standing ones are not, the sitting ones are not; the jumping ones are not, the walking ones are not!"
"There is heaven, but not in the world; there is food, but not in sleep; there is mouth, but not in hands!" Ziwei touched.
"There is on the right, but not on the left; there are crying, but not laughing; there are cold, but not hot!" Yongqi said again.
"Little Swallow, you can't even guess this riddle?" Qianlong laughed, "Listen to me to tell you! There are any scoldings, no beatings; there are no riddles, no book; there are no singing, no readings!"
The little swallow was confused when she heard it, with two big heads.
"How can I figure out what this one has and that one has not!"
"Everyone knows the answer, but you are the only one who is still confused!" Erkang said with a smile, "I will tell you again: Xiaoyanzi has, Ziwei has,! The Queen Mother has, but the Emperor has; Xiao Dengzi has, but Xiao Zhuozi has!"
When he heard that they were all familiar with people, Xiaoyanzi became interested. She turned her big eyes and thought desperately. Suddenly, she became blessed to her heart and said "Oh".
"Oh! I understand! I understand!" Xiaoyanzi jumped up and pointed at him, "There is Xiaojian, but Ekang, but not; the little pigeon, but not the little liar; there is this one, but not the other! There is bragging, but not the horse... This word is the word "mouth"!"
Everyone shouted in joy:
"By the way! Right, right answer!"
Everyone looked at Xiaoyanzi in surprise. Qianlong was also surprised and happy, and shouted happily:
"Little Swallow! You have made progress! Not only can you guess riddles, but you can also make riddles!"
The little swallow became proud and started bragging:
"Emperor, don't underestimate me too much. I have made great progress recently. Xiao Jian taught me how to learn idioms and gave me a good book to read! He said that learning idioms should start with learning to recognize words. I can recognize many words now, and idioms can no longer defeat me!"
"Ah?" Qianlong opened his eyes wide, "That's it! So, what book are you reading?"
"Shui Xu Chuan!" Xiaoyanzi shouted loudly.
"Wash the boat?" Qianlong asked in shock, "Is there such a book?"
"It's not 'washing boats'! It's 'water-happy'!" Xiaoyanzi shouted, "The word 'happy' is very strange. It's three points of water and the word 'happy' that is not allowed!"
Qianlong understood and glared:
"This book has also been brought to the palace? This is a forbidden book..." Thinking about it, I laughed, "Forget it, for you brave children, what else can you do to help yourself? Besides, I have to admit that it is a good book..." I held back my smile and said, "Okay! What is this 'Shui Xu Chuan'?"
