Chapter 59: Negative Effects
Reef has changed its daily study schedule.
Although his time for class, study, and martial arts training has not decreased, but because he has now obtained the permission of his grandfather Haixi Ya, he can get home before noon every day, can eat a nutritious lunch at home, can take a nap for half an hour, and no longer stay up late at night, the dark green under his eyes quickly disappeared, and his spirit is much better than before. Seeing this, Haixiya and his wife, Xie Wenzai, and Hai Changan all let go of their worries, and no longer thought that he would exhaust himself because he studied and practiced martial arts too hard.
Begonia also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She also found out not long ago that there may be something wrong with her brother's psychological state. She only thinks that she needs to become familiar with various skills and cultural courses as soon as possible, so that she can have a reason to explain to her family in the future when she shows more knowledge and force than her peers. However, she ignored her brother Haijiao, as a companion who studied and practiced martial arts with her, and she might doubt her own ability because of her performance, and thus lose her self-confidence.
My brother always thought that she was a real ten-year-old girl, and felt that as an "adult", there was no reason to lose to her, but he didn't know that she actually had an adult soul, and even lived longer than him in her previous life!
Adults in their thirties have lived at the bottom of this country all their lives, living a rough and dangerous life. How could the skills, knowledge, and life experience he possess compare to her, an old woman who has lived in such a complex place as the palace for decades? Not to mention, before she came to Dachu, she had lived in the modern world with developed information and abundant materials for more than 20 years. If you talk about "well-informed" and "knowledgeable", the reef that dropped out of school after the age of eleven in the previous life, and has just started a second life, is definitely not comparable to the begonia that has lived for three lifetimes.
To put it simply, it is true that the reef is the "protagonist", but the begonia is open.
It's a pity that Begonia can't tell the reef the truth. He was stubborn and refused to listen to his sister's persuasion. If he is allowed to work hard day and night, it is still a trivial matter to be tired and sick, in case he completely loses confidence in himself, and from then on he gives up on himself, and he also has a dislike for his sister, it will not be good.
Haitang remembered the experience of her previous life, especially those relatives and friends who were drifting away because she was too curly and too good, and she didn't want to end up in this life with no dependence on her six relatives and no shortage of money at a young age, but she still had to work for others.
She could only hint at her second uncle Hai Chang'an, making him think that her nephew was in a hurry because her sister was too good, so she would catch up without sleep or food, and there was a possibility that her body would be ruined.
Nowadays, it seems that this method is still quite useful. The couple took action, and the reef changed its original schedule, and everyone was happy.
Of course, the most important thing is that Haijiao will not have any jealous thoughts because of his sister's outstanding academics, and since then he has become increasingly estranged from his sister Begonia. He is still confident in his talents, and will continue to work hard to learn and improve in the future, so as to realize his wishes as soon as possible.
However, although this plan was successful, and no one noticed that someone was deliberately planning behind it, it still had a little negative impact on the party Haitang.
Ma Shi was delighted that his grandson's work and rest time had returned to normal, but he also paid attention to his granddaughter, and found that she was indeed as Xie Wenzai and Hai Changan said, excellent in schoolwork, and her riding and archery level was also very high, and she would be three or four years younger than Haijiao next year, but she could always be at the same level as him, no wonder her grandson was in a hurry.
Although it is a good thing that the granddaughter is both civil and military, but for Ma, the girl does not need to work so hard, riding and martial arts can be learned with heart, and people can better protect themselves in the border city, but there is no need to pay too much attention to the art of war and strategy. She would rather her granddaughter learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, that is what the daughter of the boudoir should learn.
However, at the moment, she could not find a suitable teacher to teach her granddaughter about this. Xie Wenzai had to help Haixi Cliff deal with official business in the guard every day, while Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were busy teaching Haijiao, and Ma was embarrassed to open up to them, so he simply planned to come by himself.
One afternoon, she saw her grandson Haijiao go to the second courtyard to attend classes, but her granddaughter Haitang did not follow, but squatted in front of a few wooden troughs with Jin Guo in the third courtyard and muttered, discussing how to build a wooden frame for the tall vines, so she greeted and called Haitang into the house.
She said to Haitang: "When it comes to setting up a shelf, you just let Jin Guo go to Da Zhuang, and you are not allowed to do it yourself." Ezheng wants to take a plate of housework accounts, the sky is gloomy today, the house is not bright enough, I look at the account books and look dazzled, you come to settle the accounts for grandma. ”
Ma taught Begonia a little basic housework account, and once asked his granddaughter to help, Begonia naturally would not refuse.
She not only helped Ma sort out all the housework accounts in recent months, but also typed the line grid on the paper and copied out a clear and clear new account book, even if the room was dimly lit, Ma could see every income and expenditure record in the account book at a glance.
Ma Shi was a little surprised, so he said, "It seems that you have some talent here." Well, you are your grandfather's flesh and blood, your grandfather is a master of accounts, you can't be a stupid. ”
Begonia thought to herself, this kind of thing is not so absolute, right?
However, she looked at Ma's expression and didn't refute, just pretended to smile proudly: "Of course! Grandpa is a good at accounting and I will also learn from my grandfather's skills and become a master of accounting! ”
Ma Shi said: "You are a female doll, and you don't need to do business at home, how can you be a master of accounting?" If you are free, it is serious for a good student to learn a female red! With that, she asked Begonia to put away the account book, turned around and went into the room, and took out a small basket.
In the basket were the women's red tools she had prepared in advance, including pieces of cloth, silk rags, various needles, more than a dozen colors of thread, small scissors, thimbles and so on, and a palm-sized pocket bamboo embroidery shed. The embroidery shed is very old, the surface has been rubbed very smooth, and it looks like it has a life span of several decades.
Ma handed the basket to Haitang: "You are idle on weekdays, and I don't stop you from practicing horseback riding, but you don't want to learn the homework that your brother has learned." If you learn it, you learn it in vain. That's all something that only generals in the army learn, what does it have to do with you? You are also older now, almost ten years old, and in a few years you will have to talk about your mother-in-law's house, and you can no longer be as greedy and playful as when you were a child. From now on, you can learn needlework from Grandma......"
Begonia blinked, slowly took the needlework basket, and her mood was a little complicated.
She could probably guess why Ma suddenly said that.
In the spring, Ma only let her tie a few flowers casually, she was still young, and she didn't need to put too much effort into the female red kung fu.
Now that autumn has just arrived, Ma said that she is already old and needs to spend more time learning needlework.
There was only a few months before and after, and Ma changed his words, why else? Haitang was worried that his brother Haijiao would lose his self-confidence, so he deliberately lied and misled to hide his talent that was better than his brother. Ma can naturally see that his granddaughter's excellence has brought psychological pressure to his grandson. She didn't mean to suppress it, she just felt that it was useless for her granddaughter to learn the art of war or anything, and it was better to learn more skills that were more practical for girls......
But Begonia has been dealing with weaving, embroidery, needle chiseling and other skills for half a lifetime in the last life, and it can be said that he is very familiar with these things.
Now it is not difficult for her to learn female celebrity from the basics.
The most difficult thing is how to convince her grandmother Ma that she is a "beginner" with ordinary skills?
