Chapter 145: Morning Rising
After Haitang finished opening his brain, he returned to the yard and began to move his hands and feet, stretch his muscles and bones, and prepare for the next morning exercise.
Before the arrow target could be installed, she didn't practice archery today, only practiced drawing the bow alone, and then practiced the knife technique, whip or something, and finally ran around the yard for more than ten circles, almost ready to go to the formal washing, and then go to the main courtyard for breakfast.
The sound of the bowstring woke up the three grape ancestors. When they found that it was getting dark, they hurriedly got up and combed their hair and dressed. As soon as the grapes went out, they saw Begonia exercising in the yard in the morning, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
The ladies in the third room of the Zhou family will not get up early to practice martial arts, they all follow the old lady's teachings and take the route of the elegant daughter of the boudoir. However, Grape has heard that the young ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion and some of the Zhou family's houses will practice martial arts with their brothers since they were young, although they can't go to the battlefield, they won't be compared to their brothers when they ride and shoot hunting.
But in Grape's impression, although the Hai family is a military household, the master of the family is a civil official, how can Miss Haijia also get up in the morning to practice martial arts like the ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion?
Also, the project practiced by Miss Hai is not quite the same as that of the ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion. Bows and arrows are practiced by everyone, but the ladies of the Zhou family can practice the red tassel spear, but the Miss Hai family practices the knife technique, this is not a trick to use in the battle immediately, right? When Miss Haijia practiced the knife, she would jump into the air or something in the middle, and even fly to the wall separating the backyard from the main courtyard...... Isn't there something wrong with this number?
When Begonia finished practicing the knife technique and changed to a long whip, the stunned expression on the grape's face disappeared.
The young ladies of the Zhou family also have people who can practice whipping, which is normal.
Aunt Ma and her daughter-in-law are much calmer than their granddaughter. After they greeted the begonias, they hurried to the front to do their work, and did not forget to tell the grapes to go to the main house to boil hot water quickly.
Wait until the grapes are boiled in hot water, and the begonias have finished their morning exercises. After going back to the house to wipe her sweat, wash her face, change her clothes, and comb her hair again, she went to the front courtyard, leaving the grapes to clean up the aftermath.
Haixiya got up early and went to the yamen, Ma slept all night, and his spirit was much better, but he still felt a sore back and didn't want to move more, so he only told his son and daughter-in-law to move on their own, and then let the housekeeper Aunt Cui take care of the housework.
She wanted to keep her granddaughter by her side: "It's so cold outside, and the gentlemen are resting, so don't go back to the house to read and practice calligraphy, go to the forehead room to do needlework, and talk to your forehead." The kang in the front house is warm, and you can save some charcoal. ”
Haitang was worried about asking for more news from her grandmother, so she casually responded and went to see her brother's reef.
The reef had already made plans and told her grandmother that she wanted to go out for a walk.
Ma was not very happy: "It's cold, what are you going out for?" I don't know the way. After a few days of rest, I will ask your second uncle to take you around. ”
Haijiao smiled: "I don't go far, just walk around the neighborhood to see if there are any good things." I've grown so big, and I haven't seen such a prosperous place, so why don't you open your eyes? ”
This made Ma's heart sour, thinking that his grandson will be fourteen next year, and he has been growing up in the northwest border city, and he has never lived a good life in a rich and stable place, which is really pitiful. With pity, she couldn't refuse her grandson's request anymore, so she only said: "Then bring two more people, so as not to go astray and not be able to find it." ”
I have been a spy on the reef for many years, how can I make the mistake of getting lost? What's more, he had lived in Chang'an for more than half a year in his previous life, and he was only more familiar with those paths than Ma, a native of the official family. He made an excuse: "Where else is there any idler at home to accompany me?" I'll do it alone. ”
Ma remembered that the ten guards he brought into the city were arranged to live on the second floor of the front yard yesterday: "The people who came from the martial arts haven't left yet, ask two people to accompany you, and let them visit Chang'an by the way." ”
Haijiao said: "They escorted us all the way, and it was hard work." I encountered such a dangerous thing the night before, I was tracking the gangsters, and I was keeping vigil at the scene of the murder and blowing the wind or something, and I was in a hurry to enter the city yesterday, and I didn't rest well, so don't they be allowed to take a good rest? Why bother people again? Grandma will give them a day off, wherever they like, if they love to walk around the city, if they love to visit relatives and friends, if they like to visit relatives and friends, they will reward a few more red envelopes, and Ming'er will send people back. They weren't our family's guards in the first place, and they had to go back to Wugong County on an errand. My family didn't know how many years to live in Chang'an, so I went to recognize the road as soon as possible, and I didn't even know which way to open the door of my relative's house. ”
Ma Shi was happy to hear it and said with a smile: "You have a point, then it's up to you." However, you are only allowed to walk on the main road, not in the alleys, so as not to meet people who are not long-sighted. If you really want to meet it, run quickly and find those people in military uniforms to help you. ”
Haijiao smiled and said: "I will lead the horse out, if I meet a bad person, I will turn over and run away, and I will not be able to catch up with those little people!" ”
Ma reluctantly agreed: "Don't run around on the street, it's not fun to bump into someone." If you ask the city guards to bring them back, you can't afford to lose this person! ”
Haijiao responded with a smile, and repeatedly promised that he would never run around.
When he left, Begonia found an excuse to catch up and asked him where he planned to go today.
They all led the horses out of the house, and she didn't believe that her brother was just walking around the city.
Haijiao told her, "I want to go back to Bezhuang to see Jin Jiashu." Yesterday, I asked my grandfather what happened to the Jin family's case during the banquet, and my grandfather said vaguely. I didn't want to ask at the time, but when I got up this morning, I asked my grandfather again. Grandpa still prevaricated with words. I think there is something strange about this case, maybe Jin Jiashu let go and told the government some secret news, or the kind that is very important, and my grandfather even wants to hide it from me. I went to Jin Jiashu to inquire and see if I could figure out what was written on the letter, why their family suffered, and whether the Sun family had poisoned them. ”
It would be even better if he could figure out where exactly he met Jin Jiashu in his previous life.
When Haitang heard this, he didn't stop the reef, but only told him: "Be careful when you go out." You are still young now, but there are too many masters in Chang'an. Not to mention those officers of the border army, the killers who killed the Jin family have not been found, God knows if they will hear the wind and run to Bezhuang to kill them? You'd better bring some inconspicuous weapons, and save yourself from encountering those murderous gangsters and losing in battle. ”
After all, Brother Haijiao is a reborn "protagonist", how can there be calm around the protagonist? Once you go out, you're sure to encounter something.
Hearing that it made sense, the reef hid a dagger close to him, and borrowed his sister's small dagger and stuck it in his boot just in case. People in Chang'an City who are not sergeants are inconvenient to go out with weapons in broad daylight, but it doesn't matter if they are not sharp weapons. He tied an eyebrow-high stick to the saddle and borrowed his sister's whip. Although his whipping technique is not as subtle as his sister's, he has also practiced with his master, and he is stronger than ordinary people.
The reef carried a bag of broken silver and copper coins, put on a felt hat, put on a cloak, and led the horse out of the door in full armor.
Haitang personally sent him away, and was about to turn around and close the door, when someone came to the door to pay respects.
Aunt Zhou Ma, who had just met yesterday, heard that her sister had settled down in the city, and she was in a hurry to find her, and she didn't know if it was the difficult evil mother-in-law Mrs. Ma in the third room of the Zhou family, who had a new moth.
