Chapter 2517 2519 [Xishia Stone Carvings]
Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to Xiangyang to help defend the city.
Xiang Nan continued to stay at home, taking care of his wife and children.
Now both Yang Guo and Yang Xi are over two years old, they can already run, jump and talk.
Both of them are mischievous by nature, like little monkeys. If it wasn't for Mu Nianci and Li Mochou who knew martial arts, they would have been exhausted by them.
But in front of Xiang Nan, the two little guys are very obedient.
Because Mu Nianci and Li Mochou were reluctant to beat their children, even if they were very naughty, they still pampered them, let alone spanking them, and even scolded them.
But Xiang Nan is very strict, once they get into a big fight, he will really spank his ass. So every time he came and went, the children were afraid of him, and they didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of him.
Actually, Xiang Nan's strict discipline also hopes that his children will become talents.
The so-called don't fight for a bit of cold, how can you get the tangy fragrance of plum blossoms.
Yang Guo, Yang Xi, and Yang Xin were born in their kind of family, so they usually have nothing to suffer.
They don’t have to bear the pain of hunger, cold, living without a fixed place, bullying, corvee and taxes that ordinary people have to bear. It can be said that they are soaked in a honeypot.
If they are no longer strictly disciplined and let them let themselves go, both of them will be useless.
Just like Ouyang Ke, who is obviously a descendant of Wu Jue, but only cared about enjoying pleasure, but was hanged and beaten by Guo Jing in his thirties, and even died directly;
Or like Guo Fu, her parents and grandfather are all good, but she was stubborn and willful since she was a child. Not only is she ignorant, with an empty mind and low martial arts, but also her character is a mess, she just feels that the world revolves around her.
Xiang Nan doesn't want his children to be so unpromising, so in educating children, he must be careful and discipline them strictly. And he also advised Mu Nianci and Li Mochou, "Having a child is like killing a son, adopting a son without education is like raising a tiger, and raising a daughter without education is like raising a pig".
…
It was strange to say that although Xiang Nan disciplined the children strictly, the two children liked him more. As long as he was at home, they would pester him every day, making Mu Nianci and Li Mochou sour.
They took care of the children conscientiously, holding them in their mouths for fear of melting, and holding them in their hands for fear of falling. They were so hardworking, but the two children ran over as soon as they saw Xiang Nan, which really made them **** off.
Actually, the reason why the two children pester Xiang Nan is mainly because it is more fun to follow Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan will make toys, play games and tell stories with them.
For example, he is proficient in carpentry. He made small wooden horses, roller coasters, puppets, and airplanes for Yang Guo and Yang Xi...everything was strange and fun.
Another example is playing pinball, hide-and-seek, hoop rolling, shuttlecock kicking, and building blocks with children... It is educational and fun, and children also like to play.
Another example is storytelling, traditional folk tales, European fairy tales, fables, idiom stories... Xiang Nan is a scholar of heaven and man, and is good at writing stories, so he is full of stories and can never finish telling them, so children naturally like to get close to him .
In comparison, Mu Nianci followed Yang Tiexin to roam the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and Li Mochou lived in an ancient tomb with his master since childhood. Neither of them had a happy and sweet childhood, so apart from blindly pampering them, they actually didn't know how to do so. accompany the children.
Because of this, the children naturally like to follow Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan also took advantage of the time of playing to teach the children what he knew and learned as much as possible.
To this end, he also specially compiled teaching materials. Such as "Mathematics", "Physics", "Three Character Classics", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Rhyme of Li Weng", "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book", "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty", and so on.
Mu Nianci and Li Mochou both admire Xiang Nan's talent.
…
Two months later, news came from Xiangyang.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong succeeded in scaring off the Mongolian army who came to invade by relying on the art of war taught in "Wu Mu's Last Letter". In addition, Genghis Khan just passed away, and Tuolei and Wo Kuotai were busy competing for the position of Khan, so they had to choose to retreat.
In this way, Guo Jing and Huang Rong made great achievements, and their names spread all over the world.
Hong Qigong saw that the two men were brave and resourceful, and they served the country and the people.
Xiang Nan was a little envious when he heard about it.
Knowing this, he also went to Xiangyang. Maybe Hong Qigong was happy and passed on the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick to him.
But having said that, he is now the same as Hong Qigong. Even if he went to Xiangyang to defend the city, Hong Qigong would only respect him more and would not accept him as a disciple.
After all, Hong Qigong didn't have such a big face for daring to accept Wujue as his disciple.
Thus, Xiang Nan's envy turned to envy, but he didn't become obsessed with it, never forgetting it.
Unlike Ouyang Feng, in order to get the "Nine Yin Manual", he did not hesitate to steal, coerce and lure, and even became stupid because of it.
Besides, for Xiang Nan today, learning the eighteen palms of subduing the dragon and the dog-beating stick is just icing on the cake. It belongs to killing rabbits during the Chinese New Year - there are not many without it, and there is not much without it, so it is not urgent.
Therefore, Xiang Nan still teaches his children at home with peace of mind.
Under his careful guidance, both Yang Guo and Yang Xi have grown very well.
…
Another year passed, Xiang Nan was very anxious, and left home again, preparing to go to Xixia.
Because the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect may remain in the Xixia Palace.
Li Qiushui, one of the three elders of the Xiaoyao School, used to be the princess of the Xixia Kingdom. In order to facilitate her martial arts practice, she carved the unique skills of the Xiaoyao School on the stone wall of her bedroom.
Now, the Xixia Kingdom is being attacked by the Mongolian army. Xiang Nan is worried that these stone carvings may be damaged, so he wants to go and check them out. Wouldn't it be a good thing if you were lucky enough to get the true biography.
He said goodbye to his family and rode to Xixia Lingzhou.
Lingzhou is actually not far from Chang'an, only more than a thousand miles away. Xiang Nan arrived at Zhongxing Mansion in Lingzhou after only five days of walking.
It was seen that the Mongolian army had surrounded the Zhongxing Mansion in groups, and the siege was impenetrable. At this time, apart from the capital city of Xixia Kingdom, other lands had already been annexed by Mongolia.
Therefore, the Xixia Kingdom is already in danger, and even the people in the city are depleted. At its peak, there were more than 500,000 people in Zhongxing Mansion, but now there are probably less than 30,000.
Xiang Nan performed lightness kung fu and when he entered the city, he saw that the city was devastated and ruins were everywhere. Even the imperial palace, which was heavily guarded and luxurious in the past, now looks very lonely and dilapidated.
Xiang Nan walked all the way, and even guards, maids, eunuchs, etc. were rarely seen. The entire palace was filled with sadness and despair when the end came.
Xiang Nan managed to find a white-headed palace lady, and inquired about the location of Qingfeng Pavilion.
Back then, it was Li Qinglu's boudoir, and the stone carvings of the Xiaoyao School were among them.
Xiang Nan then came to Qingfeng Pavilion, and saw the former princess's boudoir, which had already become dilapidated due to frequent wars and lack of repair and management over the years.
The gold paint has faded, the doors and windows are not neat, and the furnishings inside have been evacuated long ago, leaving only a few dilapidated rooms, full of dead branches and leaves, and you can even look up to see the sky.
"It's really not everything." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
