Chapter 4： Cherish the moment

Chapter 4 Cherish the present moment

Outside.

Even if he is anxious, it is of no use.

The world's classes are far more solidified than modern times. It is difficult for him to cross classes by himself.

This time, if it weren't for the help of his second aunt who works as a side house in Huangzhai, he would have never been able to access the health-preserving skills that are rarely seen in outside bookstores.

After coming to another world and awakening from the past, Wei Tu never thought about changing his destiny.

but-

In business?

In an official-based society, it is okay to do small handicraft businesses. Once a big business is involved, big families will definitely rob it.

Failing to have the corresponding status to protect property is a recipe for disaster.

Be an official?

First enter a private school to study, have a clean identity, find a local student as a guarantor, and then take part in the imperial examination and fight among thousands of troops, only then can you be qualified to obtain fame.

Wei Tu was born in two lifetimes, and with the blessing of Su Hui, he was considered smart.

However, when compared with the child prodigy from ten miles away, he is far inferior.

However, these prodigies from the same village often have a poor life, and it is difficult to obtain the title of scholar, and most of them end up in the miserable life of old boys.

Memorizing Confucian classics in the imperial examination is only a basic skill. The difficulty lies in understanding the Confucian commentaries. The number of words in the Confucian annotations is far greater than that of the Confucian classics. Without a good memory, it will be difficult to win fame in the imperial examination.

If the meaning of Mo was simple, where would all the cheating methods in the imperial examination come from.

Hand, abbreviation of rat hair, flying pigeon to pass a letter, toilet cheating...

Again.

Studying costs money. It is difficult to raise a full-time scholar who is not engaged in production!

If they had to support two young masters to study, the life of the Li family would not be so tight, and they would only eat meat twice a ten days.

There is no golden finger.

Wei Tu knew that he was just a middle-aged man, and it would be difficult for him to stand up.

Of course, Wei Tu has not completely recovered over the years. He worked his way from a tenant farmer to a stable boy in Li's house and has become a role model for many country people.

The food is not bad.

Have a status in front of the master's family.

This is the life that many country people dream of.

…

Time is fleeting.

The seven days came soon, and Wei Tu handed the album "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong" to Huang Zhaimenzi as agreed, and asked it to be delivered to the hands of the Ruan family martial arts master.

As for the contents of the album, although Wei Tu had memorized it thoroughly, he still copied it with pen and paper just to be on the safe side, wrote a copy and kept it privately on his person.

After finishing this matter.

Weitu's life returned to peace, feeding horses, cutting firewood, and cleaning the yard every day.

The only difference is that whenever he has free time, he starts practicing the "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong".

even.

More than just practicing nine times a day.

But practice ten or eleven times a day.

This is the only possibility for Wei Tu to cross class boundaries and change his own destiny, and he will naturally not ignore it.

“Do your best and obey the destiny.”

"Hard work pays off."

 Whenever he wants to give up or be lazy, Wei Tu secretly encourages and alerts himself.

month.

Two months.

Until three months passed.

That evening, after Wei Tu finished the Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong, he finally noticed something strange in his body.

It was late autumn at this time, winter was approaching, and the night was frosty and cold, but Wei Tu did not feel the cold at all. Instead, he felt warm currents gushing out from his limbs, nourishing his body.

This feeling is like taking a bath in a hot spring.

“The Qi-nourishing Gong has not yet been fully developed, but a warm current has already arisen in the body, so... the state of feeling Qi must be extraordinary!”

Weitu was delighted.

Over the past few days, he has inquired about the training of martial arts masters. Those swordsmen who are famous in the countryside can only do some boxing and kicking, and can use a few swords, but they are definitely not in the state of "not afraid of the severe cold" like him at the moment. The health-preserving exercises made progress, and Wei Tu did not relax. He continued to practice the pile exercises until he was exhausted, and then returned to the kang to rest.

“Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong (21/100): Practice nine times a day, and it will be completed in five years.”

Before going to bed, Wei Tu closed his eyes and took a look at the progress of the health-preserving exercise. When he saw that it had reached more than one-fifth, he felt very satisfied and fell asleep with a snoring sound.

The next day, early morning.

Wei Tu got up early and started working in Li's house.

After working hard for nearly an hour, feeding horses and chopping firewood, Wei Tu found that his body was still cool and there was no sweat on his forehead.

Physical fitness has improved a lot.

“Brother Wei, grandma is looking for you.” An ordinary-looking girl dressed as a maid walked out of the inner house and called Wei Tu.

“Grandma called me?” Wei Tu was startled.

He is a foreigner. When he was young, he could still walk around the house, but when he got older, he was prohibited from doing so.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Xinghua to ask for leave for him last time.

A large family has a lot of etiquette.

Even if the eldest lady calls him, she has to find a reason.

“I heard from Caixia that when grandma and the master were sleeping last night, they talked about you and Xinghua, so I’m afraid she’ll be lenient.” Chunlan covered her mouth and smiled, moved closer to Wei Tu, and lowered her voice.

“When the time comes, you have to give me wedding money.” She joked.

"real?"

“Are you going to agree to my marriage to Xinghua?”

Wei Tu was also delighted.

He did not expect that with his breakthrough in health preservation, another happy event would come to his door.

“Let’s go.” Wei Tu put down the ax in his hand for chopping firewood, got up and followed Chunlan through the moon gate and into the inner courtyard of Li’s house.

Three months ago.

After three months.

Although Wei Tu's life circumstances have changed greatly, with the fate of "Late Bloomer", he will definitely succeed in the future.

You won’t always be a herdsman.

However, Wei Tu did not look down on the cook Xinghua because of this, thinking that this maid of Li House was not worthy of him.

Helping the high and suppressing the low is the norm in the world.

However, Xinghua has been close to him since she was a child in Li's house, and she takes good care of him on weekdays. She can be said to be the closest person to him in the world.

Wei Tu’s xinxing is not so cold.

in addition.

Wei Tu doesn’t think too highly of himself. Just because he’s successful in maintaining his health does not mean that he will be able to find an immortal and embark on the path to immortality in the future.

Health-preserving skills can extend your life, but you will still die at the end of your life after you are more than a hundred years old.

The truth is to grasp the present moment, rather than aiming too high.

Walking straight across the courtyard and walking along several verandas, Wei Tu arrived at the living room of Li's house.

When entering the inner house, Wei Tu kept his head lowered because he abided by etiquette.

After entering the living room, he raised his eyebrows slightly and took a look at the people in the living room.

Seeing that there were only women in the living room and no master, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Li Yaozu is a well-known "sharp person" from all over the country. He is harsh in speech, stingy by nature, and can make sense of unreasonable things.

Not very easy to get along with.

On the contrary, the eldest grandma Li Tongshi has a gentle personality, good housekeeping, and is a well-known virtuous woman.

Sitting in the seat, Li Tongshi is dressed in cloth, an indigo cardigan, and woven shoes and socks tied with a white ribbon.

It is a very plain outfit.

She raised the teacup and took a sip. "Brother Wei, it has been six years since you joined the Li family. During these six years, the Li family should treat you well."
