In a feudal society with a strict hierarchy, if it was an ordinary big brother being teased by a girl like this, he would probably be unhappy.
Li Rufeng and his sister shared the same mother. Their biological mother passed away when they were young. He took good care of his sister and loved her very much. The two of them were very close.
The brother and sister were drinking tea in the yard. Li Qiyun was annoyed by his daughter's pestering. The Mauser rifle that he secretly got was on her left.
In the eyes of later historians, the failure of the Westernization Movement was inevitable. The limitations of the Westernization Movement itself and the obstruction of the decadent feudal system doomed the movement to failure.
Although the movement failed, it carried out a reform of China's weapons.
The tea was Longjing before the Ming Dynasty. The leaves stretched out in the boiling water, bright green. The taste was sweet and delicious, soft and fragrant. It gave people a fresh and natural feeling.
Li Rufeng held the teacup and gently tapped the lid. He took a small sip and sighed with satisfaction. "There are so many good things here."
She curled her lips. "Okay, I'll give you two taels."
"How about three taels?"
"Okay, send it to Dad."
"Fine, fine, fine. Two taels is enough, enough."
Li Qiyun was a bureaucrat in the evil feudal system and the head of the family. He had a lot of wives and concubines. It was really … enviable.
He had six sons and nine daughters. There were only two legitimate children, the eldest son, Li Rufeng, and the second daughter, Li Zhi (nicknamed Jiu 'er). They were all born by his wife.
Outsiders knew that the eldest son, Li Rufeng, was talented and talented. They also knew that the daughter of the Li family was an old lady who couldn't get married.
She was already eighteen this year, but she was still in the boudoir. Look at the other girls, they could already play soy sauce at eighteen years old. They were old ladies who couldn't get married.
The daughter of the Li family had three hobbies: eating, drinking, and playing.
She wasn't good at studying.
She had three hobbies: cooking eagles, rouge, and fighting crickets.
She wasn't good at needlework.
If she was in an ordinary official's family, her brain would have been beaten out of her head. However, she was an expert who could beat the brains of everyone in the Li family.
At the age of ten, he used his family's strengthened ability to press his brother against the ground. At the age of thirteen, he pressed his uncle against the ground. At the age of fifteen, he pressed his father against the ground.
Li Qiyun entrusted her to a Taoist priest who had a deep relationship with his family, hoping that she could follow an otherworldly master to cultivate.
Two years later, his daughter returned, travel-worn. When she asked, she found out that she had been expelled from the sect. When he asked again, it turned out that during the Dao Discussion, he had beaten up a group of legendary Daoists and Buddhists one after another due to some verbal conflict.
Her master could no longer protect her. In order to maintain his foothold in Daoism and Buddhism, he announced on the spot that she was expelled from the sect.
This temple is too small for such a big Buddha. Go away.
In the past two years, he was proficient in everything from Daoism's Lightning Technique to Buddhism's Golden Body Technique to drawing talismans and chanting scriptures.
Other than that, he had made friends with a bunch of scoundrels outside. They were all Jianghu pawns. She had asked a friend to deliver the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty to the capital.
"Big Brother, what business do you have with me?" Li Gui rested his chin on his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Li Rufeng with a smile.
"Nothing," Li Rufeng denied. "I just came to see you."
"Liar." Li Gui wrinkled his nose. "You didn't even change your clothes. You came to my courtyard as soon as you got back, and you still say that you have nothing to do?"
She had been sharp and witty since she was a child. Li Rufeng thought about it and said frankly, "I have something to ask you."
Li Gui said, "Hmm."
"Last time you told me about strengthening a realm …" Li Rufeng laughed awkwardly. "I went back and pondered about it for half a year. I figured out some clues, but I'm always a little bit away."
The concept of strengthening a realm was proposed by his younger sister, Li Gui. Her analysis was logical and reasonable. Li Rufeng went back and studied it carefully. He felt that it was feasible, but he was stuck at a bottleneck due to his talent.
It was like he was about to have sex with a beautiful woman on his wedding night, but he couldn't take off his underwear and couldn't tear it. It was unbearable.
"Do you know, Big Brother? Strength enhancement and material enhancement were only the most superficial uses of the "Enhancement" Esper Ability. It is a waste of God's gift for the clan to use it for refining. Strengthening is not a refining ability. It is a kind of evolution. "
"In addition to materials, our abilities can also strengthen some invisible energy. You and Father can strengthen qi, so you should understand what I mean. You are better than Father, so you can strengthen your spirit. Father's talent is dull, so I'm afraid he won't be able to reach this threshold in this lifetime. "
Li Rufeng laughed dryly. It was disrespectful to talk about his father behind his back. His younger sister dared, but he didn't.
"Then after strengthening strength, qi, and spirit at the same time, what should we do next? Is there still room to expand this ability of our family? I didn't understand when I was ten, and I still didn't understand when I was thirteen. When I was fifteen, I figured it out. "
Speaking up to here, she ordered, "Ruyi, break three branches and bring it over."
The soft-voiced maid twisted her round and perky buttocks, tiptoed, and stretched out her hand to break the branches.
Li Rufeng's gaze was inevitably attracted to the young girl's beautiful figure that had just matured. If compared to the Miss, she was a little lacking, but Ruyi was also a first-class beauty. Almond eyes, peach cheeks, arched eyebrows, slender and elegant.
Li Gui kicked his eldest brother under the table and winked, "If you want it, it's easy. I'll give it to you. I'll take care of the jealous woman in your room. "
Li Rufeng was the eldest son of the first wife, the future heir of the Li family. He was 25 years old this year, and only had one wife and two servant girls. In addition, he had no concubines.
It was too embarrassing.
As his younger sister, she couldn't stand it.
Li Rufeng shook his head and sighed, "The times are turbulent, how can I have the mood to indulge in sensual pleasures."
He didn't say no.
"It's because the times are turbulent that I want to find a good family for Ruyi. I don't know when I can get married. I will keep her for a few more years at most, and then I have to let her get married. Don't let the goodies flow to outsiders, big brother. "
At this time, a soft voice sounded from the side, "Miss, the tree, the branch is here …"
Ruyi blushed, looking very shy.
Li Gui took the branch, held it in his hand, and used the strengthening ability. The three branches seemed to be instilled with some kind of power, covered with a layer of dark lines, and became harder than iron.
"The three branches represent strength, vital energy, and mental strength. Now that they have been strengthened by me, big brother, try to see if you can break them. "
This was not difficult. Li Rufeng held the branch in the palm of his hand, his palm silently exerted force, and the branch broke.
"Ruyi, break three more."
Three branches were broken, and Li Gui gathered them together and used his Enhanced Arcana.
"Big brother, try to break them."
This time, Li Rufeng didn't immediately break the branch. He took a deep breath, holding the two ends of the branch, the muscles on his arms bulging, the veins bulging, and his face red.
"Crack!"
The three branches broke.
"Your strengthening ability has already reached such a level?" Li Rufeng gasped for breath, dumbfounded.
"Yes, yes." Li Gui casually said, changing the topic, "Look, this is strengthening a realm."
"Speak clearly …"
Li Rufeng felt that his IQ was being rubbed in front of the girl, but it had been like this since he was young, so he was used to it. When he was fifteen, he was really pressed on the ground by his sister.
Such a small little bean suddenly grew up, and was even stronger than him. What did this girl eat to grow up? Was it because they didn't drink the same nanny's milk?
"Three branches, even if they are strengthened, big brother can easily break them together, because they are still branches."
"They weren't branches just now?"
"Yes, they have evolved. I can only use the word evolution to describe them. Remember, the first time I strengthened them individually, the second time I strengthened them together. "
“.....”
Li Rufeng still didn't understand. If Qing Dynasty had the internet, he would have sent the girl a black question mark, or replied, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"The first strengthening is like big brother's current state, it can strengthen strength, vitality, and spirit at the same time, but they don't increase much. If you meet a stronger opponent, you will still be defeated. But if you can combine essence, vitality, and spirit, and strengthen this "one", you will be invincible in the same realm, and can fight beyond your level. "
This time, Li Rufeng understood, and threw out his doubts, "How do you achieve essence, vitality, and spirit?"
Li Zhi shook her head, "The path can be followed, but it is not the eternal path."
After saying that, she stretched, yawned, and said with a lazy voice, "Tired in autumn, tired in summer, and weak in winter. Spring is the best day to sleep. Ruyi, send the guest off. "
Li Rufeng stood in the yard, watching her enter the house and close the door. That feeling … His pants were pulled down, but he found that he couldn't get up, that feeling was terrible.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. On the third day, something big happened in the Li residence.
Just after noon, the eldest son, Li Rufeng, who went out with Li Qiyun early in the morning, came back. He was carried back, and he was on the verge of death.
Li Zhi received the news, lifted her skirt, and rushed to her brother's room. She saw him on the couch, his face pale.
At this moment, he had actually recovered, and his life was out of danger. But his expression was haggard, and he was extremely weak.
The eldest sister-in-law sat in the outer room, sobbing, holding the ignorant child in her arms.
Her father and uncle stood by the bed. The two were in the prime of their lives, but in a night, they had aged twenty years, and their temples were gray.
"What's going on?" Li Gui frowned.
Her uncle didn't say anything, and her father waved his hand, looking at his precious daughter, "Zhi 'er, another day, I will send someone to bring your sister-in-law and nephew back to the village to stay for a few days. You can come with them. "
Obviously, her father didn't intend to tell her. Li Zhi looked at her father firmly, "Okay."
Li Rufeng didn't suffer any injuries. He was carried back because his body was severely exhausted, and after resting for two days, he was no different than usual.
The Li residence was calm, and nothing happened. There were no unfavorable rumors about the Li residence. The night before Li Zhi left the Li residence, an honored guest suddenly came to the residence.
The middle door was opened, the courtyard was swept, and the kitchen was busy, as if a banquet was about to be held.
King Duan came, and accompanying him was the immortal figure of the Yihe Fist, Zhao Ying.
