Ma family.

When Ma Ye and Ma Yong knew that Ma Hu was chosen by Master Duan, they were a little happy, but not completely happy.

Tan Xiuxiu said, "So many people chose Hu Zi, which means that Hu Zi is quite capable. Could it be that Dad is still counting on this kid to get you the top score in the imperial examination?"

"That's right," Ma Hu also chimed in, "You might as well count on Ma Long."

Master Ma tapped his pipe and said, "Okay, but after the busy farming season, I have to go back to school."

Ma Hu retorted, "Why? I learned martial arts from Master Duan. Wouldn't it be great if I could become a hero in the future? At worst, I could escort a caravan or become a martial arts master."

This kid is really thinking far ahead!

Master Ma said, "You can learn martial arts if you want. Once you are promoted to Class C, I will allow you to do so."

Class A is the imperial examination class, so Mr. Ma doesn't count on it. Xiaolong hasn't even been promoted to Class B yet. If he can be promoted to Class C, at least he will recognize all the necessary words, and being able to read and write is enough.

"Ah!" Ma Hu howled, "This is too difficult."

“What’s so difficult about it! Xiaolong can be promoted to Class C, so why can’t you?” Ma Yong rarely acted like the head of the family.

Ma Long said to Ma Hu, "If you don't understand something, ask me and I'll teach you. I promise I won't beat anyone."

Ma Hu nodded helplessly.

In the following days, Ma Hu and Zhao Tieniang ran circles on the East Mountain before dawn every day and did not return until the sun was about to set.

Although they were tired, they both enjoyed it.

During this period, Ma Hu challenged Zhao Tieniang to fight twice, and both times ended in a miserable defeat.

What made Ma Hu slightly happy was that even if he lost now, it wouldn't be as ugly as before.
