Chapter 64: A Little Try

Haixiya felt sorry for her granddaughter, and didn't ask her to do needlework in this winter, but waited for the weather to get warmer next year.

Mars did not refuse. Anyway, she is very satisfied with her granddaughter's progress in needlework in the past few months, she thinks that her granddaughter is indeed very smart, and she learns everything quickly, learning to ride a horse and learn homework, and Xuenu Hong is no exception. Since the child learns so quickly, there is no need for her to push too hard. On a cold day, let the child rest for a while, what if you get frostbite? If your hands are frozen and you accidentally get poked on your fingers by a needle, it's not good!

Of course, it would be better if Begonia was willing to come to the main house every day to accompany her and help settle accounts or something. The grandparents and grandchildren squeezed a big kang can also save the charcoal burned during the day by the small kang in the west wing! If the child is willing, he can stay in the main room and sleep at night, just like at the beginning of the year.

Begonia, of course, is not happy.

She finally had her own independent room, why did she go back to squeeze with her grandfather and grandmother? Not to mention the many inconveniences in life, staying under the noses of the elders every day, there is no privacy at all.

She offered herself the reason to move back to the main house, and Jin Guo refused her grandmother. Ma sighed, but didn't insist any longer.

When he first moved back into this house in the spring, Jin Guo could still sleep in the kitchen. The fire in the big stove is not extinguished all day long, and a wooden bed is built in the house, which is enough for the little girl to sleep warmly. But now the family has hired several more servants, and some of them will spend the night at Hai's house, and after Jin Guo moved to live with Haitang, there was no place for her in the kitchen. If Begonia moves back to the main house in order to save charcoal, and Jin Guo stays in the West Wing alone, won't he have to freeze? But if she continues to burn the small kang, then the begonia might as well not move!

Two people squeezing a small kang and three people squeezing a big kang are actually about the same level of comfort, but it is difficult for Haitang to prevent her grandmother from rummaging through her things in private, and Jin Guo will never open her storage box without her permission. That's the difference.

Begonia continued to stay in her room, reading, writing, painting, embroidery...... However, she still maintains a certain amount of exercise time every day. The horseback riding practice stopped, but as long as it didn't rain or snow, and there was no strong wind, she would still practice archery and whip in the yard in the morning, and in the evening, she would pretend to imitate her brother's sword practice, and practice the knife technique twice in a decent way - of course, the practice was the one taught in "Basic Martial Arts I", using a homemade wooden knife.

If someone found out that her sword moves were different from those practiced on the reef, she would pretend to be stupid, saying that she had learned them from elsewhere, or that she thought of them, and that she thought such moves would look good. At her age, the wooden knife she uses is shaped like a toy, who would doubt her? You just think she's joking, right? Everyone in the family has their own things to do, and few people will stay in the open yard for a long time on a cold day, so she just needs to avoid places where many people pass by.

As for the whip method, I am afraid that even Wang Chengfu's wife, who "taught" Begonia, can't see that the apprentice is already practicing another set of whip methods, and it has nothing to do with the tricks she taught.

Wang Chengfu's wife did not refuse to teach the Begonia whip method, but she was busy with housework and children, and her heart was still on her husband Wang Chengfu, and she had to play a trick with him from time to time and make some awkward trouble. Therefore, even if she is grateful for the life-saving grace of the two bricks of Begonia and is willing to teach her the whip method, there will be no more teaching time, and it would be good to have one in ten days and a half months.

Begonia just wanted to borrow her as a cover, and didn't care about her procrastination. Every time I go to Wang's house for half an hour, I think I am accompanying the neighbor's mother and son to relax.

As Haijiao once said, Wang Chengfu's wife's whipping method is not systematic, and it can only be said that she has mastered the skills of using whips well, but it cannot be said to be a complete set of martial arts. Haitang has been studying with her intermittently for several months, and now the whip level has surpassed her. It's just that in the Wang family, Begonia will be a little more restrained, making a look that can master skills, but is not proficient. When Wang Cheng returned on a business trip, his wife became angry about this and was in a bad mood every day, so Haitang immediately found an excuse to end the course.

Wang Chengfu's wife didn't care. In the past few months, she has gotten along well with Begonia, and she doesn't hate this "well-behaved" cheap apprentice. Now she has nothing to teach Begonia anymore, so she simply gave Begonia a whip she used as a girl as a gift: "This whip hurts people, and it really hurts people, no worse than a stick." Back then, I relied on this whip to beat the invincible opponents all over Suzhou, and no one dared to bully me. Now I give you this whip, and if anyone dares to offend you, take it and teach that man a lesson. ”

Begonia blinked, took the whip with a well-behaved smile, and recognized that the handle was wrapped in cowhide, and the whip body was made of cowhide and another animal fur that I don't know what it was, plus a very thick fiber entangled, which didn't look coarse, but it felt very strong, the taste was not unpleasant, and the color was also very low-key and harmonious. The whip is smooth to the touch and has no burrs, but it always gives people the feeling that it must hurt when it hits people.

After thanking Wang Chengfu's wife, Haitang returned to his house with the whip, saw Cui Dazhuang sorting firewood in the front yard, thought about it, and asked for a few to take back to the Sanjin courtyard, and then placed them in the open space in the yard, trying to take the calfskin whip to whip them.

She has basically mastered the common skills of using whips, and she can already draw very accurately, and she is also very proficient in strength. However, it was the first time she had used this whip, and she did not know its power, so she retracted it with the first whip, and the whip only discounted the thinnest piece of wood.

The second whip, Begonia can let go of his hand and add some strength. This time, the results are good, the fine firewood can be interrupted, and the slightly thicker firewood is also broken in half, and it is estimated that it can be done with two or three whips.

Begonia is quite satisfied with the lethality of the new whip. After all, she is still young and has limited strength, so it would be good to be able to beat people with a whip. When she grows up, the power of the whip will increase.

But...... Speaking of which, she has also studied her internal skills for a few months, and she doesn't know what effect she can have when she puts it into practice? Her proficiency in internal strength has exceeded 80%, but except for her strength, she basically has no chance to apply it, and she can only ensure that her hands and feet are warm in the cold winter and snow, and she will not get sick easily.

Thinking of this, Begonia had the idea of "giving it a try". She used her internal strength, attached the internal force to the whip in her hand, and pulled it towards the firewood on the ground.

After a crisp "pop", all the firewood was broken by the whip in two, and several of them were thicker, and there were sawdust splashing and scattering on the ground.

Begonia was taken aback and quickly glanced around.

Very good, there was no one in the courtyard, grandmother Ma was talking to Aunt Cui in the house, and Jin Guo was sent by his grandfather Haixiya to the nursery to take care of the overwintering grape seedlings; In the second courtyard, Xie Wenzai's cousin uncle and second uncle Hai Chang'an both went out, and almost all the rest of the people were nested in the house doing their own things; As for the front yard? The servants came and went, all busy working, and Cui Dazhuang was still sorting out the firewood, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to what she was doing in the Sanjin courtyard.

Begonia quickly picked up the broken firewood and threw it into the stove of the small kang in his own room, destroying them in a blink of an eye.

However, she looked at the whip in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She had bought a full set of horse whip maintenance tools in Wang Chengfu's wife's mother's harness shop before, and now she just turned it out, maintained her new love whip, and then carefully stored it.

This thing can only press the bottom of the box for the time being. She usually just practiced with her original little whip. When the family realizes that she has become a whip master, and she takes out the love whip at the bottom of the box to amaze the world, no one should think it is strange, right?
