As early as when Haitang first asked her grandmother and brother to practice martial arts, Ma said that she wanted to learn to ride a horse. But this matter has been delayed to this day, and it has not been implemented.

The sea family has horses. Although most of the horses brought back from Guazhou were sold to Suzhou Wei, Haixiya was still thinking about returning to his hometown at that time, so the horses used by his family were still kept. Among them are also ponies, which were originally reserved for Sun Tzu Haijiao, and after the reef was reborn, he thought it was too docile, so he chose another one. Since Begonia wants to learn to ride a horse, this docile pony is ready-made, and even the matching harness is complete.

But there is no place for the Hai family. The house is so big, and it is okay to raise a few horses in the small courtyard where the horse shed is located, and there is no space for horses to move. In the past, you could still go outside the city, such a vast wilderness, you can toss it with the sea family. But not long ago, there was a big battle outside Suzhou, leaving behind many weapons and human and horse corpses, which are easy to hurt people if they are not careful. When the battlefield was cleared, the second and third groups of immigrants arrived. Ma is worried that the crowds outside the city are dense and not safe enough, and even the streets of the city are not allowed for grandchildren to go, let alone the wilderness outside the city.

Therefore, these days, Begonia can only practice palm skills, fist techniques, leg techniques, light skills or something at home, as for the others, because there are no knives and swords suitable for her, knife and swordsmanship can only be practiced in one shape, not to mention the riding skills that need a larger venue.

She wasn't in a hurry. She had already mentioned to Wang Chengfu's wife who was diagonally opposite the door that she wanted to learn the whip method, and Wang Chengfu's wife agreed to her very happily, but she only put forward a request for the whip she used, which needed to be transformed. Before the whip transformation is completed, Begonia can only continue to practice the basic martial arts he has mastered so far. Her proficiency in palming, boxing, and light skills has exceeded 40 percent, and her proficiency in internal strength, heart and leg skills has also reached 25 percent, and the prospects are promising, and there is nothing to worry about at all. Anyway, when these two waves of immigrants leave, she has plenty of time to learn to ride a horse before the next wave arrives.

I didn't expect Hai Chang'an to find a suitable venue in the city, and Haitang was very surprised.

Hai Changan told her: "This small school yard is not far from the official office, and it was originally obtained by Sun Yonglu for himself and his henchmen in the name of military training, and it is not private property, so it is hung in the name of the guard." Sun Yonglu has already left and will not come back in the future, and the place where he lives has also been taken back by the guard, and this small school field is naturally the same. ”

But the origin of this small school field is a bit problematic, it was originally a private house and workshop land, just because it was close enough to Sun Yonglu's residence, only thirty or forty feet away, and the terrain was flat, he took a fancy to it, and forcibly occupied it in the name of the guard, and wanted to set up a school field, so that he and his henchmen could train and run horses.

The generals of Suzhou Wei were so angry that he couldn't do it, but his background was too hard at that time, and he found a high-sounding reason, the original owner of the land was instigated first, and he didn't want to offend the powerful, so he would rather not have the silver and move out overnight. On Wednesday, General Gu and General Gu could only make up a sum of money in the name of the original owner of the land, so as not to cause him too much damage.

Now Sun Yonglu is gone. The news came back from Ganzhou, and the Taoist was that the Ministry of War issued a document and convicted him of a small crime, dismissed him from his post and recalled him to the capital. The deeds of his sheltering Hu people and spies have long been spread throughout the great northwest, even if he justified afterwards that he did not mean it, he did not know it in advance, and he only "neglected to overlook", and his reputation is difficult to hear. The whole border army is not happy to work with such a foolish person, and it is impossible for him to achieve anything in the border army. Sun Ge Lao had no choice but to recall him, first hide in a low-key manner for two years, and then fill the vacancy when the matter has passed. However, his impression on the emperor's side is very bad, and even if he can make a comeback in the military in the future, it is estimated that he will live a mediocre life, and it is impossible to hold real power. The Northwest Frontier Army breathed a sigh of relief, and they had less worries about disposing of what he had left behind.

The official office assigned to Sun Yonglu by the guard can be taken back directly, and if someone comes to fill the vacancy in the future, it can also continue to be assigned to the latter to live. But this small school field, the generals of the guard house considered that it originally had an owner, and it was also the ancestral residence of the original owner, so they planned to wait until the original owner was asked.

After the original owner was forced to sell his ancestral house and workshop that year, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by Sun Yonglu, so he moved out of Suzhou with his family and settled in Shazhou. Now that the imperial court has ordered the people of Dachu who have moved to Guasha and the two states to settle in the customs, the original owner of the land must have come back after hearing the news of Sun Yonglu. When he returned to Suzhou, the generals would first ask him if he wanted to rebuild his former residence and move back with his family. If he gives up, the health center will use this small school field as a public use.

Until then, the school yard was empty. After the arrival of the second batch of immigrants in Guazhou a few days ago, it was once used to resettle a group of young people whose origins were somewhat unclear.

Hai Chang'an went out to visit friends today, and happened to pass by this small school field, and found that there were a few familiar military attachés practicing horses there, so he went over to inquire about it, and learned that it is now idle, and the officials of the guard or the family members and subordinates of the local yamen can borrow it, so he hurried home to report the news.

He said to Haitang: "The small school field is two streets away from our house, and it only takes a stick of incense to walk, and it is very convenient to come and go." Your brother can borrow the school yard of the guard house to practice horses, but if you want to squeeze with others, you might as well move to the small school yard. You also go along, first learn to get on and off the horse and ride slowly. When you are two years older and taller, it is not too late to learn to run horses. ”

Begonia naturally has no objection: "Then when will we pass?" Let's go today, right? ”

Hai Changan thought for a while: "Okay." Nowadays, there are not many people who go to the small school field to practice horses, so let's have lunch and take a break, so we will go there early, so as to save the news that after the news spreads, there are more crowds. "As for the eldest nephew's reef, it depends on his time. He was busy with his homework, and he had to go to the guard every day, and I was afraid that he would not be able to squeeze out time until he returned home in the evening.

Haitang quickly went back to the house to look through the riding clothes that her grandmother Ma had prepared for herself, which was actually a set of old clothes from her brother Haijiao, she wore them that fit properly, and men's clothes were more convenient to move. When everything was ready, Jin Guo came back, and Haitang hurriedly asked Jin Guo: "Do you know how my whip is doing?" Can you get it back today? ”

Jin Guo was a little confused: "When I came back, I heard from the people in the harness shop that I had done almost everything, and I would be able to get it back tomorrow." ”

Then I'll pick it up tomorrow. Anyway, it's not bad for this day's work.

Jin Guo learned that Hai Chang'an had found a small school field where he could practice horses, and he was also a little interested: "I will follow you together." He can also ride a horse, and he rides no worse than others. You have to learn, and I can take you with me. ”

Haitang thought about it and knew that when she went out in the afternoon, Ma would definitely let her bring the golden fruit, and she didn't refuse, but just asked, "Can you find grape seeds in the market today?" Are there any other seeds? ”

Jin Guo sighed when he said this: "There are no grape seeds, only some vegetable seeds, and some green onions, ginger and garlic." However, one person said that he knew who had seeds to sell, and asked Eming'er to go to him again. ”

Begonia is not in a hurry: "Then you have to look carefully, don't let people fool with fake seeds." Then he pulled her to look at the finished troughs, "Look, I've got all the grape and vegetable growers ready." When the seeds are found, you'll have to teach me how to grow the grapes well! ”

Jin Guo grabbed a handful of special soil in the wooden trough and sniffed it, uh-huh a few times, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't help grinning.
