When the Hai family set off from Ganzhou and continued to Chang'an, the team grew stronger and new members were added.

General Zhou wanted to send his daughter back to his hometown in Chang'an to greet his parents, and by the way, he gave a New Year's gift, and the maids followed a bunch of personal soldiers, as well as housekeepers and nurturing grandmothers, and more than ten carriages were pulled for luggage.

In addition, there is also the commander of General Zhou, Tongzhi Peng, who lost his wife at the beginning of the year, and his mother-in-law wrote several letters to him, asking him to send his daughter back to Chang'an Yue's family to raise her life. After Peng Tongzhi hesitated, he finally took advantage of the opportunity of his boss to send his daughter back to Chang'an, and threw his daughter over to accompany him, and he was also accompanied by a large number of attendants and guards, and also pulled more than a dozen carriages.

In addition to these two generals, there was also a caravan in Ganzhou City, and there were a few civilians who planned to go to Chang'an, and they couldn't afford to hire a large team to escort them, so they rubbed the general's team and drove one or two cars to follow behind.

At this point, the team of the Hai family and his party has expanded more than twice, stretching for nearly a mile before and after, and from time to time there are sergeants guarding the front and rear patrols behind the open road hall, not to mention the general Xiaoxiao, even the sand thieves and horse bandits of a certain scale, and they dare not approach, for fear of being taken by those sergeants as a credit for sending them to the door, and they will be killed easily.

Ma finally settled down, and saw that General Zhou's daughter and Peng Tongzhi's daughter were both twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, and they were both dressed neatly and riding horses with the team, and they were not taboo with the men who traveled with them, so they no longer found fault with their daughter's horseback riding. She also invited the grandmother of the daughter of the Zhou family to her carriage to talk, inquire about some things in the circle of officials and relatives in Chang'an, and strive to get acquainted with the personnel relations in Chang'an City as soon as possible, so as to prepare for her family's future communication.

Miss Zhou's grandmother's surname is Gan, and she has also dealt with Ma in the past, so she is an acquaintance. Although she has lived in Ganzhou City for many years, she is always sent back to the Guogong Mansion in Chang'an Town once or twice a year to do business, so she knows a lot about the situation in Chang'an. The journey is lonely, she has to take care of the little master when she rests at night, that's it, during the car rush, she can only talk to the little girls, strange and boring, can chat with Ma, but also pass the time, why not? Anyway, General Zhou also said that if she was closer to the Hai family, she would come to Ma's car almost every day.

Even the housekeeper of General Zhou's family rode a horse to the side of Haixi Cliff and Xie Wen's car, and talked to them from time to time.

Seeing this, Haijiao took the initiative to get close to the Zhou family's personal soldiers, and by the way, he could ask more about riding archery and martial arts. During the rush, it was inconvenient to continue exercising every day, so he could only seize the time to learn more theoretical knowledge.

Only the second uncle, Hai Chang'an, concentrates on taking care of his wife and children, and checks the situation of the rest of the family and the carriage from time to time, and does not deal with the Zhou family or the Peng family. His attitude towards them is still very polite and polite, but because of his embarrassing identity, he tries not to get close to others.

With the demonstration of the family, how could Begonia let go of this great opportunity?

She rode a horse and took the initiative to get to the side of the two little girls of the Zhou family and the Peng family, first curiously asked how the beautiful little pony whip in the hands of others was made, and then asked about other people's horses, and soon got aboard.

General Zhou's daughter is named Wen Jun, and her name is very gentle, but she is a lively personality. The little girl has dark skin, and she is very good at riding and shooting, and she has been comforting her best friend who lost her mother and left home for the past two days. Seeing that Begonia took the initiative to come over, it seemed that she could also attract the attention of her best friend and make her no longer sad that she was forced to leave her father, so she was also happy to make friends with Begonia.

Peng Tongzhi's daughter's name is Peng Yuqi, and she is still wearing heavy filial piety, but looking at her actions, she is obviously also a good archer. Her complexion was pale, she looked thin, and her temperament was a little mournful, as if she couldn't do anything.

Haitang talked for a while, and soon found out that Peng Yuqi was very unhappy to go to her grandmother's house in Chang'an. She has lived in Ganzhou City with her parents for many years, and she only has a little memory of her grandmother's family when she was a child, and she has little affection. Originally, she was sad enough to lose her mother, but now because of her grandmother's insistence, she had to leave her father's side and go to live in the strange Chang'an, how can she feel better? If it weren't for her best friend Zhou Wenjun to go to Chang'an, she would probably live for a year or two, and she would be unwilling to go out, and she couldn't wait to pretend to be sick.

Now that she is accompanied by her best friend, she can run a good horse in the wild, and she has made new friends, and Peng Yuqi's mood is better.

Haitang took advantage of the situation to accompany the two young ladies to ride a horse to relax, and when she stopped to rest halfway, Ma wanted to complain about her granddaughter about this, and she also had something to say: "What Sister Wenjun and Sister Peng can do, why can't I do it?" Can our Hai family still pay more attention to the rules than the Zhou family and the Peng family? ”

Ma was speechless for a moment.

Later, in front of the Zhou family's grandmother, she couldn't say that everyone's ladies were not good at showing up, so she could only talk about her granddaughter's young age, afraid that Haitang would fall if she rode too fast, and she was afraid that her granddaughter would ride too far, and the team would not have time to save people when she was in danger.

The Gan Mama of the Zhou family is used to seeing the young ladies of the main family practicing martial arts and riding since childhood, and she doesn't take it to heart: "I see that your sister in the family is very outstanding in riding, not worse than adults." Mrs. Hymers can rest assured. Besides, our Miss and Miss Peng are also there. The two young ladies have been skilled in bowing and horses since they were children, and they will definitely take good care of Miss Hai. The nearby area has long been cleared by the pro-soldiers, how can it be dangerous? If something really goes wrong, the scouts will report it in advance. ”

Ma had nothing to say.

The grandmother didn't stop her, and the begonias became more and more happy.

She followed Zhou Wenjun and Peng Yuqi on horseback and ran, and the farthest one ran to the boundary three miles away from the team, and by the way, she also shot two hares with a bow and came back to add food to her family, and also picked a few herbs for Xie Wenzai and Lu Bainian. Because of the relationship with her companions, her family didn't say anything about her, and she became more relieved and bold after that.

Once encountered a poisonous snake scurrying, Peng Yuqi screamed in fright, Zhou Wenjun beckoned the little sisters to go quickly, and Begonia quickly threw a whip over, poisoning the snake seven inches, whipping it in two, and the second whip followed immediately, whipping the snake's head to rot.

Zhou Wenjun and Peng Yuqi were greatly impressed when they saw this, and when they returned to the team, they kept praising Begonia's outstanding whipping skills and courage. Except for Ma's pale face when he heard this, everyone else could only praise, and the relationship between the three officials and their relatives became more harmonious, and when they arrived at the post station in the evening, they also greeted each other and went to eat wine and dinner together.

When Haitang arrived in front of her grandparents, she looked well-behaved: "Although I have never beaten a living creature with a whip before, I can always break the firewood when I practice whipping, and I know in my heart that I will not let the snake entangle." Besides, there were only the three of us at that time, and the maids of the Zhou family were hundreds of paces away on horseback, so they couldn't catch up at all. Sister Wen Jun was the closest to the snake and was almost bitten. If I do nothing, once she is bitten by a poisonous snake, where can I seek medical treatment in this wilderness? At this time, I didn't have the time to look ahead and backward, so I threw it out with a whip first. ”

Haixi Cliff was more calm: "Since you know it in your own heart, grandpa won't say anything about you." In the future, you should practice martial arts more carefully, don't go to dangerous places, and try not to touch dangerous things. No matter what you do, you have to think that your family will worry about you, don't let your grandma worry about it. ”

Begonia obediently responded and turned her head to look at Ma.

Ma Shi held his breath for a long time, but after all, he still didn't scold, so he deflated his anger first: "That's it, it's a good thing to save people, don't run so far in the future, when you see poisonous snakes and beasts, hurry away from them, don't be bold with whips in both hands, most of the people who drown are ...... water."
