Chapter Twelve: Yang Wenchun Learns to Sing Spring

  After dinner, Yun Qi still wanted to find a place to lie down properly, with a toothpick in his mouth and two big sleeves flapping, looking like a second-rate guy. He walked towards Young Master's courtyard with a swaggering gait. Anyway, it only took two minutes for one meal, as he was used to it in the army, where time is combat and training. Every time they ate, those soldiers would rush into the cafeteria like wolves, grab their bowls and stuff food into their mouths frantically, finishing a meal in thirty seconds at most. Since coming to this era, Yun Mowu felt much more at ease, no longer having to maintain his strict sense of time as before. For several days now, he had intentionally slowed down his eating pace, yet still finished two large bowls of rice in two minutes under the stunned gaze of other servants. The Yang household treated their servants quite well, with decent food and flavor, regardless of quantity. After finishing his meal, Yun Qi wiped his mouth, dropped his bowl and chopsticks, and left.

  In the Yang household, there was a rule that the servants could only start eating after the master had finished. After Mr. Yang left in the afternoon, Yun Qi was dragged by Yang Wenguang to teach him martial arts and was busy for half a day. He was already starving, his stomach growling with hunger, but he finally managed to hold on until the masters finished their meal, relieving his hunger. Now, Yun Qi felt a sense of satisfaction, like a small person who had achieved something. This feeling of having eaten one's fill was really great!

  As he stepped into the courtyard, Yang Wenguan had already begun practicing his basic skills. The old man sat down on a stone bench beside him, leaning against the stone table and constantly pointing out the shortcomings in the young master's movements.

  Yang Wenjing had a habit of taking a walk after dinner. Today, while having dinner, she heard her father rarely praising her little brother, and she was also surprised. Had Yang Wenguang changed his ways? Was he no longer obsessed with martial arts all day long? With such doubts in mind, she decided to take a walk and go see this little brother who always gave her headaches.

  As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Wenguan's strange posture and Yun Qi's lazy appearance, and involuntarily furrowed his brow. He pretended to cough and hinted: "Cough...".

  Yun Qi was indeed a special soldier. As soon as the first cough sounded, he immediately sprang into action with a loud "Hoo-ah!" and stood at attention in a standard posture. Yang Wenguan, on the other hand, hung his head low, his face red with embarrassment, still awkwardly standing in that strange horse stance, unsure of how to throw a punch.

  "Second... Second Sister!" Yang Wenguang called out in a low voice.

  Seeing Yang Wenguang's appearance, Yun Qi was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red with suppressed laughter.

  Yang Wenjing looked at her little brother's posture and also felt it was strange and funny, but she didn't like to laugh usually. At this time, there was no smile on her pretty face, she just said softly: "Wen Guan, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly strike such a pose?"

  Yang Wenguan found it hard to explain, and he couldn't very well tell Second Sister that Young Master was practicing martial arts with Shu Tong, so he turned his face to look at Yun Qi, thinking: You'd better explain this one.

  Yang Wenjing was clever since childhood, how could she not understand her younger brother's meaning at this time, and turned her head to look at Yun Qi waiting for an explanation.

  He tidied up his clothes, which were not messy to begin with, and tossed his head, thinking he looked very handsome. He didn't notice Yang Wenjin's furrowed brow as he opened his mouth to say: "Miss, the young master is currently practicing a type of gymnastics from his hometown. I watched him study today and was worried that he would be physically exhausted, so this exercise can strengthen his body, relieve fatigue, and even prolong his life if practiced to perfection. Youth will always remain." After finishing speaking, his eyes still looked at Yang Wenjin, thinking: Ah, eternal youth? Does that woman not want that? Or should I teach you if you ask me?

  Yang Wenjin's eyebrows also jumped when she heard the words "prolonging life and staying young", as if this sentence was also somewhat attractive to herself, and earlier when she saw Yang Wenguang practicing, his movements were soft and gentle, not like her big brother's martial arts practice which was full of masculine killing intent.

  At this time, Yun Qi continued to say: "The key is that gymnastics in our hometown does not distinguish between men and women, old and young. As long as the limbs are intact and the body is good, they can practice. Some people start training from a young age and actually live until they are 100 years old. Moreover, Master also agreed with Young Master's learning after seeing it today."

  "En en en. Father agrees." Yang Wenguang hastily nodded in agreement.

  Yang Wenjing heard that men and women, young and old, can all practice it, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited. She didn't care about how long people could live, birth, aging, illness, and death are all normal things, no need to pay special attention to them. But when she heard that youthfulness could be maintained forever, her heart was clearly moved. As a girl's family, especially before getting married, and still so beautiful, they all hope that their beauty can last long.

  People in this era are so simple, with all their thoughts written on their faces. Seeing Yang Wenjing obviously wanting to learn but being too embarrassed to speak up, Yun Qi's heart skipped a beat. Since you, little girl, are too shy to say it, then let me be your spokesperson instead. So he spoke up and said: "I wonder if the young lady also wants to practice? If so, I'm willing to teach her wholeheartedly."

  Yang Wenjin still asked with some doubt: "Is it really so magical?"

  "I dare not deceive you, Miss. It's just that the internal subtlety of this gymnastics can't be seen in a short time. If it takes three to five years, I think there's no need for me to say more, and you'll also understand its secrets." Yun Qi said respectfully, thinking to himself: "Not to mention anything else, if you learn from me for a few years, at least ordinary men won't dare approach you, which is already a self-defense skill. However, what they didn't think of was that Yang Wenjin's decision today really helped her get through a difficult situation later on, but that's a story for another time."

  Yang Wenjin thought for a moment, nodded and decided: "Okay, I'll learn from you too. Wait for me, I'll go change my clothes." It turned out that Yang's second miss was wearing a long palace dress today, with a finely made, pink lotus-embroidered long skirt inside, and a gold silk gauze skirt on the outside. With her already stunning beauty, Yun Qi couldn't help but stare, his face filled with infatuation.

  It seemed that Yang Wenjin was already used to the expressions of the people below, and she didn't say much. She gave Yun Qi a white eye, turned around and walked towards her boudoir, planning to change into a set of clothes suitable for exercise.

  Before long, she was dressed in a refreshing outfit, with a light yellow small jacket made of cloud-patterned satin on top, a golden buckle small waistband tied around her slender waist, and a white short skirt covering her knees. Inside, she was also wearing pale blue brocade pants. This outfit gave people a natural yet different feeling, and when looking at her delicate facial features, even Yun Mochou, who had received special training in seduction, felt dry-mouthed and tongue-tied.

  Until Yang Wenchun walked to Xiao Di's side, she didn't know how to start. Yun Qi also calmed down the burning fire in her heart, cleared her throat, and again explained the basic skills of Chyun to her in detail, even demonstrating a few actions. The more detailed she spoke, the more detailed it became. Yang Wenguang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling unfair: "I knew you'd be taken in by my second sister's beauty, I'm your true disciple, yet you don't explain things to me so thoroughly."

  At this time, in the courtyard, Yang siblings stood there, posing in horse-riding stance, seriously practicing their basic skills. With Yang Wenjin present, Yun Qi couldn't bear to look lazy anymore and stood on the side, watching the two of them. If they had any incorrect postures or gestures, he would walk up and explain it to them. If they still didn't understand, he would demonstrate a few movements. Once the siblings had mastered their basic skills, all that was left was the accumulation of daily practice over time.

  The sky has completely darkened...
