By the end of the day, even the energetic Stone felt tired. Seeing that Min Yueqing had no further instructions, he returned to his room. Pei Ji hadn't finished his reading activity for the day, so he sat down next to Min Yueqing and started reading with her.

Of course, he was reading the books that Pei Han had chosen for him before.

For the next month or so, their lives were peaceful, and their daily activities were pretty much the same. During the day, Min Yueqing would take the two children to the bamboo forest to practice martial arts. In line with the children's learning progress, in addition to the first set of basic skills, Min Yueqing also taught them a set of sword techniques.

Swordsmanship is not something that can be mastered in a day; they are only learning the form now. Min Yueqing's goal is simple: to give them some basic self-defense skills. To this end, she even carved two wooden swords for the two children to practice with.

As Pei Ji and Shi Tou's physical abilities improved, Min Yueqing later replaced horseback riding with running. Running over appropriate distances was also a necessary form of training for them.

Under this meticulously planned and targeted training, Pei Ji and Shi Tou's bodies visibly changed. Not only did they grow taller, but their physiques also became more proportionate and slender, and their strength was significantly enhanced.

The most obvious thing is that things that the two of them couldn't lift before, they can now lift with ease.

After returning to the manor each day, Min Yueqing would not restrict the two's movements, so Shitou would often go to play with Mao Mao and the others. Occasionally, when he encountered Mao Mao and the others helping the adults with their tasks, Shitou would stay and help them as well.

If something interesting happens, like when Aunt Li starts making persimmon cakes, Shi Tou will excitedly run to the main courtyard to drag Pei Ji, who is reading a book, to watch it together. He has heard Pei Ji say that he is interested in it.

Sometimes when Mao Mao and the others had free time, they would always ask Shi Tou many questions about the foals. Shi Tou was very generous. Whenever he had time, he would bring out Ah Zong and help them onto the horse one by one, leading them for a while.

But Stone dared not let them run on their own, because he knew it was very dangerous for someone who couldn't ride a horse to run. He had seen people fall off horses in the capital before, and he could hardly forget the terrible state of those who fell off their horses.
