The reef seems to be working harder.

Although he would continue to go to the guard house every day to help his grandfather Haixi Cliff with official duties, in the middle of the afternoon, he insisted on leaving the guard house and going to the small school to practice riding. Usually he would meet his sister in the school yard, and when he saw her riding skills improve day by day, his sense of urgency increased, and he practiced more and more seriously.

As for the archery practice every morning, he still insists on it. Second Uncle Hai Changan thought that 200 arrows a day was enough for him as a half-old boy, and he was not allowed to increase the number of times he practiced arrows, for fear that he would strain his muscles and bones. He used his free time in the evening to start practicing his swordsmanship.

Not long ago, a hundred households who were famous for their swordsmanship came to Suzhou from Liangzhou on business, and several military attachés who practiced swords in the guard station went to him for advice. Haijiao watched from the sidelines, and felt that some of his tricks were quite similar to those taught by his master in his previous life, so he also found the Baihu and asked him to guide him.

Where can those hundred households see a half-grown child? It's just that in the face of the grandson of Suzhou Wei's experience on the reef, let him watch himself fight with the Suzhou Wei military attachés on the side, and then casually say a few words of common sense about learning knives, and it's over. When he left, Haijiao claimed to have learned new tricks from him, and resumed practicing the sword techniques taught to him by his master in his previous life.

When others saw that the sword moves he practiced were indeed somewhat similar to the sword techniques of the hundred households, they believed it. As for the person concerned, Lord Baihu, even if he hears about this rumor, he won't take it to heart, right? There are more people he has instructed in the northwest border area.

Haijiao insisted on practicing riding and archery and swordsmanship every day, and also helped his grandfather with official duties, and became familiar with the daily duties of the civil officials of the guard. That's not all, every night he has to accept the cultural lessons of Xie Wenzai's cousin Uncle and Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian, and learn various tactics, war examples, and strategies. Every day he lived to the fullest, physically and mentally exhausted, but he became more and more confident in his future.

This confidence is not because he was reborn and gained from more than 30 years of life experience in his previous life, but because he really learned new knowledge and skills that gave him the confidence to control his own destiny.

Summer in Suzhou is not long. It's just August and autumn is coming.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Haijiao received a good horse that his grandparents, cousin, and second uncle had been looking for for him - a black horse that had just passed his third birthday. He fell in love with it almost from the first time he saw it.

The day after receiving the horse, he couldn't wait to take his new horse out of town for a test ride. After returning from the test ride, he was in a better mood, and almost all the time boasted about how good his horse was: good looks, good foot strength, fast speed, high coordination, and simply flawless. He felt that he could not possibly find a better horse than him. Whether it is the horse of the second uncle Hai Chang'an, or the little yellow that his sister took over from him, they are far inferior to it.

He also gave his horse a good name: Nightwing. Because it is black all over, it is as fast as wings when it flies through the night.

Begonia: "......"

She remembered the anime character with the name and could only laugh dryly.

Seeing that Haijiao likes his new horse so much, Haixiya and his wife, Xie Wenzai and Hai Changan are all very happy. They put a lot of thought into it, and now it's rewarded.

Hai Changan also praised his nephew's diligence and hard work to his parents and cousin: "Although Baoshun was greedy for fun when he was a child, but now that he has grown up, he has become a lot more sensible, and he is very diligent in practicing riding and martial arts, and he is no longer lazy." In the past, I thought he was not talented, but now it seems that he is still talented, but he has practiced less. Now that he's practiced a lot, he's pretty good at riding. In my opinion, there are few young people of his age in Suzhou City who can compare with him. Even the sons of several generals' families did not dare to say that their riding skills were more outstanding than him. ”

When Ma Shi heard this, he couldn't help but show a proud expression: "I know!" Baoshun is a child of Dingcheng, Dingcheng is so good, how can Baoshun be a straw bag? ”

Haixi Cliff twisted his beard and smiled, there was no gaffe on his face, in fact, he couldn't mention how happy he was.

Xie Wenzai said to his cousin: "Baoshun has also learned his homework well, and he can quickly understand what he teaches him and draw inferences." In my opinion, he does have some talent in this, but in the past, we focused on teaching him scripture and history, which delayed him. If he has been laying the foundation since he was a child, maybe he will be in charge in the future! ”

Hai Xiya paused, only "um", and didn't say anything.

Ma Shi was anxious: "Cousin Xie, don't mention this!" It's good for Baoshun to be a civilian in the army, what kind of general, what kind of handsome? He doesn't go to war again! ”

Xie Wenzai hurriedly changed his words: "Sister-in-law is right." I just want to praise my child for doing his homework well and for having a bright future ahead of him. ”

Ma's face softened at this time: "Baoshun, you have been a smart child since you were a child, and you will naturally have a good future." He used to be just young, and he was just a little playful......"

Hai Xiya gently patted the back of his wife's hand, suggesting that she should not worry. He knew in his heart that he would not really let his grandson get into danger.

Xie Wenzai also regretted that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the topic: "Not only Baoshun is smart, Tangtang is actually a smart child, practicing riding and learning the art of war, she has always been by Baoshun's side, and sometimes she learns faster than Baoshun." Cousin, cousin, your children are excellent. ”

Ma Shi listened, and a smile appeared on his face again. The grandson is excellent, which can make her very happy, but the granddaughter's excellence is also good news. Both children are her treasures.

Hai Changan said with a smile on the side: "I think Tang Tang is not just ordinary smart. She practiced riding harder than Baoshun, begged me to help her teach Xiao Huang, and would also ask me about the tips of feeding and training horses, as if she planned to come by herself in the future, and did not have to trouble me anymore. She is at home on weekdays, and often goes to Uncle Cao and Uncle Lu to ask them for advice. I see that she spends more time studying than Bao Shun, and her riding skills are no worse than Bao Shun. If it weren't for a female doll, she might be more promising than Baoshun in the future! ”

Hai Chang'an can see it, because his sister is too good, Haijiao has obviously made great progress, but he is still not a little complacent, but more diligent and hardworking. He seemed to be afraid that he would be compared to his sister, and he couldn't accept that he lost to his sister in riding archery and schoolwork.

Hai Changan told his parents what he had observed, and sighed: "Actually, Baoshun doesn't have to care so much, he has learned very quickly, and he is better than many young people of the same age." It's just that Tang Tang is also very good, so he will seem relatively mediocre. But it's not a problem for him to be so tense all the time. Now he gets up at dawn every day to practice martial arts, and then goes to the guard office to work for most of the day, he goes to the small school to practice riding, and when he comes home, he has to practice swordsmanship, and after dark, he has to listen to his cousin and two gentlemen give lectures, and often stay up late at night in order to write homework...... He's only a little old, what if something goes wrong with him? No matter how hard you study, it is better to combine work and rest. ”

Haixi Cliff, Ma Shi, and Xie Wenzai all showed surprised expressions. They weren't staring at the reef all day long, and they didn't really know that he had been so diligent. However, it is true that children get up early and go to bed late. People live right under their noses, and they can see that.

In the past, Haixiya would only be happy that his grandson was sensible and knew that he had practiced hard, but he didn't expect that it might not be a good thing to work too hard.

Ma Shi glanced at her husband: "Look at the good things you have done!" It's all pushed the child to this point, you still think he comes home too early every day! ”

Hercythia bowed her head in acceptance of criticism. He turned his head to look at his cousin and son: "That...... How can I persuade my child? ”
