Ma and Haijiao were a little speechless for a while.

Ma remembered Wang Chengfu's wife's whipping method, and admitted in his heart that she did play a good game, after all, she was the daughter of a famous harness shop owner in Suzhou City, and she had been dealing with horse whips since she was a child. But the whip is too inefficient to kill enemies in places like border cities, and it is not as practical as a firewood knife. Ma felt that his granddaughter was messing around, but he felt that such nonsense was harmless, so let the child go.

The cost of a horsewhip is very low, and it is much more cost-effective than a new knife. Their Hai family raised so many horses in the first place, and the most important thing was the horse whip. Most of the horses have now been sold, and although the whips have been given away as gifts, many remain. If the child wants to make a weapon, then choose a lighter one, a better looking one, and wrap a strip of cloth around the handle, so as not to wear out the delicate skin of the little girl, which is a whip that is very suitable for begonias to play.

Ma readily agreed to his granddaughter's request, but did not forget to warn her: "If the whip is given to you, you must take good care of it, and you are not allowed to break it casually, let alone beat people with a whip!" You are not allowed to hit the livestock at home, what if it breaks? If you mess around, take back the whip and won't give it to you!" ”

How can a begonia hit someone with a whip casually? She just needs to practice the whipping technique in "Basic Martial Arts I". Whips are easier to obtain than knives, swords, clubs, spears, and other weapons. She immediately agreed to Ma's request, but she also carefully used words to leave a gap for herself.

When she needs to be beaten with a whip, it must be the person who is being beaten.

The whip is not available yet. Although there is this thing at home, it needs someone to rummage through it, and right now, the servants in the family are busy with the dinner party to entertain General Gu Qinghong, how could the Ma family ask people to do other idle things at this time?

She just said a word when Aunt Cui came to get the key to the West Wing warehouse so that she could move the table and chairs for the banquet and set it up, and casually sent the begonia and the reef out of the house.

Haijiao pulled the little sister back to the east wing, and whispered to her: "You got a whip, how are you going to learn the whip method?" My second uncle could teach archery, swordsmanship, and marksmanship, but I never saw him use a whip except when he was riding a horse and driving a cart. Are you planning to apprentice elsewhere? ”

Haitang has her own teacher, but she still found a shield: "I'll go to the aunt of the Wang family diagonally opposite for advice." ”

"Forget it then." Haijiao was a little unimpressed, "When she beats people with a whip, the main thing is that her hands are dark enough, and she knows how to use skill, but she is actually not very clever." My brother knew an elder in his last life, and his nickname was Divine Whip Zhang San, who was an expert in playing whips! He also instructed me, but unfortunately my talent was not here, and then I switched to learning knives. But even if my whipping method is mediocre, it's still okay to teach you a few tricks to scare and scare people. Don't go to Wang's house, I don't think that aunt is very good at talking......"

Haitang glanced at him, and some suspected that his brother was frightened by the scene of Wang Chengfu's wife whipping people: "No matter how difficult Aunt Wang is, she won't show me a face." I just saved their family! Besides, brother, you haven't learned whipping in your life, how can you teach me? If the second uncle asks you where you learned from, how will you answer? ”

The reef choked suddenly, and had to admit that it was not well thought out. When he was practicing the knife technique he had learned in his previous life at home, he was asked by his second uncle Hai Chang'an where he had learned the new tricks. However, he has occasionally borrowed the place of the guard to practice martial arts recently, and there will be military attachés passing by in his spare time to give advice, and it is not impossible to prevaricate. But none of the generals of Suzhou Wei are famous for whipping, and he can't easily fool the past, so he must find a cover.

Wang Chengfu's wife is good as a disguise. Anyway, their brother and sister just need to borrow the name of her whip skill, and when they learn the basic techniques of whipping, all the tricks and routines can be attributed to "self-creation" or "casual playing......

The brother and sister secretly discussed a new martial arts training plan for a long time. Haijiao was stunned to find that his sister, who seemed to be idle at home, was actually working harder than him.

After reaching a new consensus with his grandfather and cousin, he resumed the habit of following his grandfather to the guard every day to learn to settle accounts, and recently he also took a bow and arrow and a knife on his back, and took advantage of the rest time to practice arrows and swords in the open space of the guard, so as to win the guidance of the generals. He thought he was diligent enough, but he didn't expect that his sister not only ran and walked briskly at home every day more than his brother, who left the house every day, but even the number of arrows she practiced shooting was comparable to his own, which was a hundred every day.

Although the little sister uses a small bow and a soft bow, he is three or four years older than the little sister!

Haijiao suddenly felt that he had lost, and secretly thought in his heart: No, I will shoot an extra hundred arrows every day from tomorrow! Otherwise, he is not worthy of being the brother of the little sister!

However, since the amount of archery is to be increased, should other homework be added?

Haijiao felt that he could actually get up earlier, so that he could run a little more every day and practice his sword skills twice......

He secretly increased his martial arts training plan, until the brother and sister were called by their grandmother Ma to help serve food and set chopsticks.

General Gu Qinghong had a sumptuous dinner at the Hai family, and after eating and drinking enough, he let the soldiers hold the two jars of good wine specially given by Haixi Cliff, bid farewell to the Hai family happily, and returned to his residence.

Ma took his family to clean up the remnants of the banquet, ordered someone to cook and send the soup to everyone, and then returned to the main house.

Haitang was practicing palm skills on the big kang in the room, and when she heard the movement outside, she guessed that her grandparents might have something to say again, so she took her posture and quietly walked to the door to listen.

Haixiya told his wife about General Gu's invitation to serve as the Suzhou Guard. This is a position from the seventh grade, mainly responsible for the official correspondence and clerical affairs. But in Suzhou, this position is in charge of the cashier's affairs with the governor of Bapin. Haixiya's promotion from governor can be said to be logical, and he can give full play to his expertise. In terms of his qualifications and professional ability, no one in Suzhou will raise objections.

It's just that there is a shortage of people in Suzhou now. As the governor of his life, he was promoted, and the governor became vacant, and there was no one to fill in for the time being. This is equivalent to the fact that the work of Haixi Cliff has not changed, and a new position has been added, but it is only one level higher than before. Even if you can't keep busy, you can only endure it.

Hai Xiya lowered his voice and said to Ma: "I listen to General Gu's meaning, in three or two years, there will be no new person to fill the position of governor." If we stay in Suzhou for a few more years, and when Baoshun is older, we can directly let him fill this gap, lest he have to get up from a small soldier. ”

This is the benefit that the generals of Suzhou Wei specially promised to the Hai family in order to retain talents.

Ma Shi gasped, and there was a little excitement in his heart: "So, isn't Baoshun the official body of the eighth rank as soon as he enters the army?!" ”

Haixi Cliff nodded. He could understand his wife's joy. Thinking back then, he was from Jiupin, and in the past 30 years, the couple has suffered a lot. Now that their grandchildren can take fewer detours and have a smoother future, they naturally have to be happy for their children.

It's just that he didn't forget to remind his wife: "If Baoshun wants this position, he will serve in Suzhou for at least three years, then the day we will return to our hometown will be postponed." ”

Ma Shi was stunned, and suddenly entangled: "This ......"

As soon as the grandson joined the army, he directly became an officer, which is certainly more conducive to the child's future, but Suzhou City ...... But it's not a place where people can live for a long time! If she can go back to her hometown in Chang'an or Yongping, of course she doesn't want her children to continue to eat sand at the border.

How should they choose as a couple?
