Chapter 38 Learning Martial Arts
"Man'er, do you know martial arts?"
Daohua looked at Wang Maner curiously.
To be honest, although she has lived in ancient times for nine years, she is still full of uneasiness about ancient life under feudal rule.
When she was in Yanjia Village, this uneasiness had not yet appeared. After all, she had space. As long as she stayed in the countryside, she would not starve to death even if there was a natural disaster.
However, after arriving in Linyi County, her uneasiness intensified.
In ancient times, it was a society of imperial power and a society of father's persuasion.
Here, the freedom and democracy she wants do not exist.
Like her mother, the eldest lady of the Yan family, such a virtuous and virtuous person, she managed the life of the whole family in a tight and orderly manner. She had to have good appearance and ability. Even so, she still couldn't do it.
Get equal respect and love from your husband.
Not only did he take the concubine, he doted on her children and did whatever he wanted, naturally squandering the family fortune that his wife had worked so hard to accumulate.
During this period, when Mrs. Li was working as a director, Daohua occasionally went over to listen. Coupled with what she saw and heard, it was easy to deduce the actual situation of the Yan family.
Although her father is a county magistrate, he has not accumulated much family property over the years because he is an honest man.
The reason why this family can still be maintained is all because of her mother who brought a generous dowry.
In Daohua's view, her father is not good enough for her mother.
But the reality is that her mother has to look at her father's face no matter what she does, and she always lives cautiously, for fear of making her father unhappy.
As long as she thinks that she will marry such a man and live the same life in the future, she will feel a little desperate.
To live a new life, did she come here to experience a life of oppression?
She doesn’t want it!
But it was too difficult to get rid of this fate. She didn't know what to do. However, no matter what she did, she had to have a good body. It would be even better if she knew some martial arts.
Public security in ancient times was not very good. Knowing martial arts can not only strengthen your body, but also save yourself when you are trapped. It is the best of both worlds.
Seeing the girl looking at him eagerly, Wang Maner nodded and shook his head.
Daohua was confused: "Can you know how to do it?"
Wang Man'er: "I know a little bit, but not much."
Daohua immediately smiled: "It doesn't matter, we don't want to be heroes or anything like that, it's enough to know a little self-protection." After saying that, he looked at Wang Man'er with bright eyes, "Can you teach me martial arts?
”
Wang Man'er nodded: "Girl, if you want to learn, I'm willing to teach you, but learning martial arts is very hard."
Daohua waved her arm and said boldly: "Hard work is nothing. Is there anyone who doesn't endure hardship these days?" After saying that, he put down the embroidered purse in his hand, and Baba asked, "When should we start?"
Wang Man'er glanced at Daohua's horribly pricked fingers: "You can do it now, girl, do you want to learn?"
Daohua was in high spirits and immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the two began to learn martial arts with great interest.
"Man'er, don't you learn martial arts without jumping on the horse?"
"Man'er, you taught me how to fight as soon as I got here, is that right?"
"Girl, just feel free to learn. My father said that steel becomes a hundred times, and a hero becomes a hero after a hundred fights. The more you fight, the better your skills will be. One day, girl can beat me down, and you don't have to worry about it.
Being covered in a sack."
"Hey, girl, you are very strong!"
"Girl, you have a good body and are very flexible. You can actually do the splits, lower your waist, and raise your legs. You are a good figure in martial arts."
"These are the basic skills of yoga." Her physical condition is indeed good in this life, and with the conditioning of space food, her body is even better.
"Girl, what is yoga? Is it also a martial art?"
"..."
The wing room in the main courtyard is very large. In order to make Daohua comfortable, Mrs. Li directly connected the three rooms in the left wing room, making it very spacious.
In the room, Daohua followed Wang Maner and gestured back and forth.
There are two people, one dares to teach and the other dares to learn, and they fight quite fiercely.
Although Daohua was skeptical about Wang Man'er's professionalism, since it was currently the coldest winter and it wouldn't feel too cold to move around, she decided to learn it.
She didn't know if she had learned any kung fu from this lesson, but her body was becoming more and more flexible.
-------
The days just kept slipping away while studying in Daohua, becoming a popular school girl, and quietly learning martial arts in private.
In class, Daohua has always behaved well, even though her fingers were swollen, she could barely embroider some recognizable flowers, plants and animals.
In a blink of an eye, we entered the twelfth lunar month.
On the day of the Laba Festival, Yan Zhigao took a break from bathing. Because he rested in Shuangxinyuan the day before, he had breakfast in Shuangxinyuan that morning.
Since it started snowing in November, Mrs. Yan has stopped letting everyone come to her place to have dinner, and has asked everyone to eat in their own rooms, so as not to toss back and forth and catch the cold.
At the dinner table, Yan Zhigao thought that he had not been able to teach his son and daughter for a long time because he was busy resettling refugees, so he became interested and asked them about their studies in school.
"Bin'er, are you still used to being in the county school?"
Several young masters of the Yan family were arranged by Yan Zhigao to study in the county school. Needless to say, Yan Wenxiu passed the scholar examination last year and is a prominent figure in the county school. Several others are also pretty good.
Yan Wenbin nodded obediently: "Thank you for your concern, father. My son is still used to it."
Yan Zhigao immediately asked a few questions, and when he saw that Yan Wenbin answered them well, he looked satisfied: "Father is too busy and has no time to guide you. If you don't understand anything in books in the future, ask your elder brother more often.
”
Yan Wenbin nodded.
Yan Zhigao looked at Yan Yishuang again: "Yishuang, what about you, do you understand everything Master Qin taught you?"
Yan Yishuang leaned close to Yan Zhigao and said proudly: "Dad, I know everything Master Qin taught me. She even praised me yesterday."
Yan Zhigao touched her head lovingly: "We Yishuang are smart." He glanced at Aunt Lin ambiguously and said, "This is like your mother."
Aunt Lin smiled shyly and glared at Yan Zhigao: "Master, please stop praising this girl. Tomorrow her tail will be raised to the sky."
"Mom, how can I have a daughter?" Yan Yishuang held Yan Zhigao's arm and coquettishly for a while.
Aunt Lin watched her husband and children having fun with a smile on her face.
"By the way, how is your eldest sister doing in the living room?" Yan Zhigao suddenly asked.
There was a brief silence in the room.
Yan Yishuang was a little unhappy that her father mentioned Daohua at this time, and said lightly: "Sister, she is still the same."
Yan Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What's the same?"
Aunt Lin was afraid that Yan Yishuang could not speak well, so she took over the conversation: "Since the last time the eldest lady contradicted Master Qin, I don't know what the madam said to Master Qin. After that, Master Qin didn't say much about the eldest daughter."

Yan Zhigao frowned: "What does this mean? As a master, she should guide and correct students' mistakes. What does it mean that it's hard to say?"
Yan Yishuang said casually: "I just don't dare to talk about big sister. If I talk about big sister too much, I'm afraid my mother will quit her."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Aunt Lin glared at Yan Yishuang.
Yan Yishuang looked aggrieved: "That's how it is."
"You..."
Aunt Lin seemed to want to scold Yan Yishuang, but was stopped by Yan Zhigao: "She is still a child. If you have anything to say, just tell her. Don't get angry easily."
"Yes!" Aunt Lin agreed in a low voice.
