Fang Yixue persisted the longest. He stood all the way up to his calves and stomach and still did not stop. In reality, Fang Ruxiu had wanted to rest for a long time, but as his master, if he had performed worse than his disciple in the beginning, she would have felt that it would be shameful. So when Fang Yixue finally relaxed, she stopped.
”Let's rest and continue.” Fang Ruxiu sat in the courtyard and rubbed her legs as she spoke to the crowd, ”This horse riding stance is perseverance. In the future, no matter where we go, we will be able to do this horse riding stance. If we have free time, we will be able to stand for two hours without our legs trembling.”
Seeing that Fang Ruzhu had already started to train, the other youths all started to get into a fighting stance. At this time, Fang Ruxiu said to the crowd, ”Amongst us here, the Big Cousin is the strongest, but in reality, I only know how to show off. If I were to compete with you today, I might not even be able to win against you. At that time, you all better not be weaker than this weak girl. ”
”Big Brother, Big Cousin's first cousin, you guys shouldn't be discouraged either.” Fang Ruxiu looked at them and comforted, ”Thirty-six lines, a top scholar. When we've finished practicing, what can't we do? If you can't take the written top scorer's test, you can still take the martial arts top scorer's exam. ”
Actually, Fang Ruzhu's words were indeed meant to comfort them. According to what she knew, the disciples of some of the big families had started to practice martial arts since they were young.
Moreover, if one wanted to truly cultivate martial arts, one would need many precious medicinal herbs to refine their body or to supplement the nutrition of their body. This was also the reason why Fang Ruzhu had only allowed them to ride their horses. If they had to practice any other moves, it would be alright if they were in the front. After all, they really couldn't hold out much longer.
But she would have to tell this to them later, and now was not the time to dispel their enthusiasm. She believed that there would always be money, and there would always be elixirs. Everything would slowly get better.
An hour passed quickly, and in the end, Fang Ruxiu still decided to choose a few of the basic moves of Xing Yi Martial Arts handed down from the Purplish Gold Gate to train with.
At the time of the horse stance training, no one was in high spirits. However, when it came to practicing martial arts, everyone's interest was piqued.
Fang Ruzhu practiced every single move to perfection. As she practiced, she also thought back to how they had applauded after she played the entire match. They all said they wanted to learn it themselves.
”Mm, today I'll teach everyone a move from before. I'll teach everyone a Dragon Fist.” Fang Ruyi smiled as she spoke, then she began to practice.
She played it first, but when the others were learning it, they always did it in a less standard manner.
In the end, Fang Ruxiu could only teach them every single move and help them correct their movements. Before they had even finished practicing this set of Dragon Fist, the sky was already completely bright.
In reality, after an hour had passed, Yeats and some others who had woken up early had already done so. They were either doing household chores or doing other things. When they saw that Fang Ru was teaching them how to fight, Yeats and the rest all smiled as they watched from the side. They felt that this group of children were very interesting, and did not expect that they would be able to learn anything in the future.
”Alright, let's continue tomorrow.” Fang Ruxiu said to the youths, then walked over to lead Fang Yicheng towards the West Side Room.
”You're back?” Yeats had already swept the floor and was holding a broom, looking at the few of them. Seeing that Fang Rumian and the others had returned, she went up to them and rubbed their heads, then said: ”I saw that you guys are doing very well today, if you can persevere on a daily basis, you must be a martial arts expert!”
”Hmph, martial arts expert, I say, Second Sister-in-Law, you really dare to say it, ah. It's just a few kids playing around, do you really think they can go to heaven?” Fourth Aunt who was next door just happened to open the door and come out. After hearing Yeats's words, she couldn't help but mock him.
”What does it have to do with you that you can't ascend to the heavens? Yo, I can see that you're not jealous right, Sister-in-law?” Yeats said unhappily.
”Hmph, I'm still jealous. Early in the morning, he'll be like the lunatic at the head of the village. When that happens, he can't get sick again.” Zhang Shi said: ”In this family, only Second Sister-in-Law dotes on your children, and only these children can play around with you. ”Heh, it was even a little girl who led a group of children to play.”
”What do you mean?” When Yeats heard that someone said that Fang Ruxiu was even more unhappy, she felt extremely guilty towards Fang Ruxiu. Now that Fang Ruxiu had finally turned lively with great difficulty, she was even more reluctant to suffer any grievances.
Hearing Mrs Zhang's submission, the Yeats could not be bothered with her and instead said smilingly to the four children: ”You should be hungry. Let's go, we'll go to the kitchen. You guys go wash up first. Mother will make breakfast for you.”
