After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 146
After Haitang finished thinking about it, she returned to the yard and began to move her hands and feet, stretch her muscles, and prepare for the next morning exercise.

Before the target could be set up, she stopped practicing archery today. She only practiced drawing the bow alone, then practiced knife skills, whip skills, and so on. Finally, she ran around the yard for about ten times, and she was almost ready to take a formal bath. , and then went to the main courtyard to have breakfast.

The sound of bowstrings woke up the three people, Putao's grandfather and grandson.They found that it was already dawn and hurriedly got up to comb their hair and dress.As soon as Putao went out, he was surprised to see Haitang doing morning exercises in the yard.

The ladies in the third room of the Zhou family would not get up early to practice martial arts. They all followed the old lady's instructions and followed the route of being an elegant daughter in the boudoir.However, Putao had heard that some of the ladies at the head of the Zhenguo Palace and the Zhou family would practice martial arts with their brothers from an early age. Although they could not go to the battlefield, they would not be outdone by their brothers when riding and shooting.

But in Putao's impression, although the Hai family is a military household, the head of the family is a civil servant. Why is it that the young ladies of the Hai family get up in the morning to practice martial arts like the ladies in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion?

Also, the exercises that Miss Haijia practices are different from those of the ladies from Zhenguo Palace.Everyone practices bows and arrows, but the ladies of the Zhou family can practice the red tassel spear, but the Miss Hai family practices sword skills. Isn't this a move for an immediate battle?When Miss Hai was practicing her swordplay, she would leap into the air and even fly to the wall that separated the backyard from the main courtyard... Is there something wrong with this sequence?

When Haitang finished practicing his sword skills and started practicing long whips, the shocked expression on Putao's face disappeared.

Some of the ladies in the Zhou family also know how to practice whipping. This is normal.

Aunt Ma, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are much calmer than the granddaughter.After they said hello to Haitang, they hurried to the front to do their work, not forgetting to ask Putao to go to the main room to boil hot water.

When Putao finished boiling the hot water, Haitang also finished her morning exercise.After returning home, she wiped her sweat, washed her face, changed her clothes, and combed her hair again. Then she went to the front courtyard, leaving Putao to clean up the aftermath.

Hai Xiya got up early and went to the Yamen. Ma had a good night's sleep and felt much better. However, she still felt sore in her back and did not want to move much. She only asked her son and daughter-in-law to move around on their own, and let Aunt Cui, the housekeeper, handle the housework. Just fine.

She wanted to keep her granddaughter close to her: "It's so cold outside, gentlemen, please don't go back to the house to read and practice calligraphy. Instead, go to the room to do needlework and talk to me. The kang in the room is It’s warm and you can save some charcoal.”

Haitang was thinking about asking for more information from her grandmother, so she casually agreed and went to see her brother Haijiao.

Haijiao had already made plans and told his grandmother that he wanted to go out for a walk.

Ma was not very happy: "It's cold outside, why are you going out for a walk? You don't know the way. After you have rested in a few days, I'll ask your second uncle to take you for a walk."

Hai Jiao smiled and said: "I won't go far, just stroll around to see what good things there are. I have never seen such a prosperous place in my life, why don't I broaden my horizons?"

These words made Mr. Ma feel sour. He thought that his grandson would be fourteen next year. He had grown up in a border town in the northwest and had never lived a good life in a wealthy and stable place. It was really pitiful.Feeling pity, she could no longer harden her heart and refuse her grandson's request. She only said: "Then bring two more people with you to avoid getting lost and unable to find him."

Haijiao has been a spy for many years, how could he get lost?What's more, he had lived in Chang'an for more than half a year in his previous life, and he was probably more familiar with those alleys and dark paths than Ma, a native lady from an official family.He made an excuse: "Is there anyone else at home who can accompany me? I can be alone."

Ma thought of the ten guards her family had brought into the city, who had arranged to stay on the second floor of the front yard yesterday: "The martial arts people haven't left yet, so ask two people to accompany you, and let them visit Chang'an on the way. "Hai Jiao said, "They worked hard to escort us all the way. We encountered such a dangerous thing the night before, tracking the criminals, staying vigil at the crime scene and blowing wind, etc. Yesterday, we were in a hurry to get into the city. They haven't rested yet, so why don't they let them have a good rest? Why bother? Grandma will give them a day off, and they can go wherever they like. They can wander around the city if they like, or visit relatives and friends if they like. I'll reward you with a few more red seals and send them back tomorrow. They are not our family's guards, and they have to go back to Wugong County to work as errands. Our family doesn't know how many years they will live in Chang'an, so I'll go and identify them as soon as possible. Knowing the way will save you from having to go out in the future and not even know which way the door of a relative’s house opens.”

Ma was happy to hear this and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, then that's up to you. But you are only allowed to wander on the main road, and you are not allowed to run into the alleys, so as not to meet people who are not discerning. If you really do, If you have any, just run away and find those in military uniforms to help you."

Hai Jiao said with a smile: "I will lead the horse out. If I encounter a bad guy, I will get on the horse and run away. I guarantee that those little guys can't catch up!"

Ma reluctantly agreed: "Don't run around on the street. If you bump into someone, it's no joke. If you ask the city guards to escort him back, you and your father can't afford to lose this person!"

Hai Jiao responded with a smile and promised again and again that he would never run around.

When he left, Haitang found an excuse to catch up and asked him where he planned to go today.

They all led the horses out, and she didn't believe that her brother was just strolling around the city.

Hai Jiao told her: "I want to go back to Biezhuang to see Jin Jiashu. Yesterday I asked my grandpa what happened to the Jin family's case during the banquet, and grandpa said vaguely. I couldn't ask further at the time, so when I got up this morning, I asked again Grandpa replied once. Grandpa still tried to prevaricate. I think there is something fishy about this case. Maybe Jin Jiashu relented and told the government some secret information, or it was something so important that Grandpa wanted to hide it even from me. I'll go find it. Jin Jiashu inquired to see if he could figure out what was written in the letter, why his family suffered, and whether it was the Sun family who had committed the murder."

It would be better if he could find out where he met Jin Jiashu in his previous life.

After hearing this, Haitang did not stop Haijiao, but only told him: "Be careful when you go out. You are still young, but there are too many masters in Chang'an. Not to mention the officers of the border army and the killers of the Jin family. We haven't found it yet. God knows if they heard the news and went to another village to silence them? You'd better bring some inconspicuous weapons, so as not to meet those murderous gangsters and suffer a loss in the battle. "

After all, brother Hai Jiao is a reborn "protagonist". How can there be peace and calm around the protagonist?If you go out once, you will definitely encounter something.

Hai Jiao thought it made sense, so he hid a dagger close to his body, borrowed his sister's small dagger, and stuck it in his boots just in case.People who are not sergeants in Chang'an City would not be able to carry weapons out in broad daylight, but it doesn't matter if they are not sharp weapons.He tied a wooden stick as high as his eyebrows to the saddle beside the saddle, and borrowed his sister's whip.Although his whipping skills are not as exquisite as his sister's, he has also practiced with his master and is better than ordinary people.

Hai Jiao carried a bag of broken silver and copper coins, put on his felt hat and cloak, and then led his horse out of the house fully armed.

Haitang saw him off in person. Just as he was about to turn around and close the door, someone came to pay his respects.

My aunt Zhou Ma, who I just met yesterday, heard that her sister had settled in the city, so she came to see her in a hurry. I wonder if Mrs. Ma, the difficult and evil mother-in-law in the third room of the Zhou family, has made a new appearance again. The moth.
