On the fifth of August, before dawn broke, all the women were still in bed, but Zhou Xuan had already finished his bath and was walking through the Moon Gate when he saw a woman in red practicing martial arts under the pagoda tree in the courtyard.

  Zhou Xuan's eyes widened, this was Qin Que, wearing a red tight-sleeved short shirt, with wide red horse pants, the pant legs tied with black satin ribbon, hair combed flat and coiled into a bun at the back of his head, waist cinched extremely thin, the whole person looking spirited and refreshing, movements suddenly fast then slow, advancing and retreating in circles, sometimes quick and agile, sometimes gentle and calm, sometimes both arms spread out like a large bird soaring through the clouds, sometimes steady and solemn like an old bear blocking the way.

  Zhou Xuan was stunned. He really didn't expect his wife to be a martial artist, but it wasn't surprising either. After all, medicine and martial arts have always been closely linked throughout history, and many skilled doctors are also proficient in martial arts.

  Qin Que saw Zhou Xuan standing at the edge and couldn't bear it anymore, so he hastily ended his performance.

  Zhou Xuan applauded vigorously and said: "Sparrow, what kind of extraordinary divine skill are you practicing? Teach me!"

  Qin Que's chest heaved slightly with a hint of panting, the bulge under his tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt becoming more pronounced, firmly capturing Zhou Xuan's gaze.

  Qin Xiao said: "This is not any martial art, it's just a common 'Five Animals Play'."

  Since Zhou Xuan moved into the inner courtyard, Qin Que hasn't practiced at all, because he didn't want Zhou Xuan to see him. This person's gaze is too much, now it doesn't matter, being looked at like that still secretly delights his heart.

  Zhou Xuan thought to herself, "So it's the Five Animals Play, I've seen people practicing in the park before, but it seems a bit different. Hmm, the sparrow's version is more authentic, later generations lost it and made up their own." She said enthusiastically, "I want to learn too, Sparrow, teach me!" With such a beautiful coach, she felt motivated to practice anything.

  Qin Que said: "Long-term adherence to the practice of Wuqinxi can exercise various joints of the body, making the limbs light and agile. Internally, it can strengthen the waist and kidneys, soothe the liver and spleen, and nourish the heart and lungs, thereby achieving the effect of eliminating diseases and prolonging life. If you want to practice, let your father teach you. Your father has been practicing Wuqinxi for 40 years."

  Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I want Sparrow to teach me."

  Qin Que's face turned red, and she pushed it away, saying: "Tomorrow... then."

  "Let's practice early today, and our bodies will be stronger a day earlier. How about now?"

  Qin Que couldn't outdo him, so he said, "Alright then, call Xian Zhen sister to practice together."

  Qin Que has now stored the idea of two women serving one husband, as long as it's related to Zhou Xuan, she thinks about doing it with Zhī Zhēn together, if she lets her do it alone with Zhou Xuan that would be too embarrassing, Zhī Zhēn sister might still get jealous, so this "Five Animals Play" must pull Zhī Zhēn sister along to practice.

  The needle was pulled out of the cloud-like hair, which was puffed up and somewhat disheveled.

  Qin Que anxiously asked: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you ill?" She reached out to take her pulse.

  Zhen needle glanced at Zhou Xuan, saw Zhou Xuan looking at her with concern, and quickly lowered her head to say: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

  Qin Que thought: "I didn't sleep well either."

  One man and two women started practicing in the small courtyard, Zhou Xuan had practiced Nanpai Wuzuquan before and was also good at Sanshou, with strong imitation ability, following Qin Que's movements to practice with a model.

  Looking at the needle again, the action is clumsy and lovely. However, the beauty stretches out her hands and kicks her legs, which is pleasing to the eye. Zhou Xuan praises the needle for practicing well and encourages her.

  Xue Ling's mood improved a bit, playing with Que Er and Zhou Xuan together. She wouldn't be so embarrassed if she was with them. Now she didn't dare to be alone with Zhou Xuan, not because she was afraid of Zhou Xuan, but because she was afraid that others would gossip.

  Dr. Qin and his wife got up at this time, standing under the corridor to watch their son and daughter-in-law practice "Five Animal Play", it was really harmonious and beautiful, joyful and carefree.

  The old couple looked at each other and smiled, feeling very pleased and relieved.

  "Master, it's better for you to find an opportunity to tell your son-in-law about that matter. I think you two get along quite well."

  Dr. Qin stroked his goatee and chuckled: "Alright, let me talk to him."

  The whole family had just finished breakfast when Lai Fu rushed in to say that Xu Zhi sent someone with an invitation.

  The people from the Xu residence came in afterwards, and it was actually that Manager Ji who personally visited, saying respectfully: "Doctor Qin, Young Master Zhou, my master invites you both to a banquet, please go now. There is a high-level Go match at 'Worry-Free Hall', and Young Master Zhou is also invited to discuss the game. The carriage is ready and waiting outside."

  Zhou Xuan heard that there was a master playing chess, and he was very happy. He humbly said: "How did Ji Guan Shi tell Mr. Xu what I said? My chess skills are poor, how dare I compete with the masters of your noble house?"

  Ji Guanshi laughed and said, "Master Zhou doesn't have to be too modest. My old master has been praising you a lot, saying that Master Zhou's vision is extraordinary. Since Master Zhou says he can play chess, then it must not be mediocre."

  Zhou Xuanlian said: "Too kind, too kind, indeed a mediocre person, I'm afraid I don't live up to Mr. Xu's expectations."

  After a brief preparation, the two of them followed Season's manager out the door. Season's manager rode a horse, while the two of them rode in a carriage.

  The horse carriage rumbled through the streets, and Dr. Qin saw that it was a good time to talk heart-to-heart, so he cleared his throat and spoke up: "Son-in-law, now that Lu An is gone, what do you think we should do?"

  Zhou Xuan scratched his head, not knowing how to respond. He thought to himself: "Lu An has left, so be it. Do I have to go and chase him back?"

  Dr. Qin also felt that his question was not quite on the mark and said: "I'm saying that Lu An has left, but the sparrow has stayed behind, what do you think should be done?"

  Dr. Qin was not good at speaking, and after a lot of effort, he still couldn't express his meaning clearly. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was clever and had strong comprehension skills, so she said: "Father-in-law, your son-in-law understands your meaning, and you also see that your son-in-law has a deep affection for Zuo Er. Your son-in-law and Zuo Er already have the name of husband and wife, naturally they want to fulfill the reality of being husband and wife. Your son-in-law is a straightforward person, so he'll ask father-in-law with a thick face: when can they really enter the bridal chamber?"

  Dr. Qin listened to Zhou Xuan's understanding of his intention, which really made him feel at ease, and smiled: "Your mother-in-law said that the earliest would be two and a half months later?"

  "Ah, two and a half months, it's been so long! You don't need to choose an auspicious day for such a long time!"

  "Son-in-law, you don't know this, but the sewing needle is also marrying you together with my daughter. However, the father of the sewing needle has a 19th anniversary memorial day in October, so it's better to hold the wedding after the memorial service."

  Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and slightly worried. He was happy that his dream of having both sisters as wives was about to come true, but he was worried that today was only August 5th, and October 19th seemed like an eternity away. He said, "Father-in-law, can't the wedding date with Xue Zhen be postponed? But since I've already gone through the ceremony with Que Er, can't we just consummate our marriage first?"

  Dr. Qin also understood the urgency of his son-in-law Zhou Xuan's desire to enter the bridal chamber, and smiled: "No way, it's the sparrow who said he wanted to be with the needle together, so let's get together, son-in-law, wait a bit longer, good things come to those who wait."

  Zhou Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, how could Sparrow be like this, isn't this just tormenting people!

  "Thinking about it, I live in the same yard as Sparrow and Needle, we often run into each other, if I get a chance to secretly flirt with both of my fiancées, wow, that's too exciting, can't wait."
