Chapter 178, Whip Training
At 6:00 AM, when it was still dark, Qin Wu got up and began to inspect the Yan family's residence.
Since they were assigned their tasks, the eight of them settled down in the Yan family.
At the end of February, the eldest, third, and fourth masters went home for the holiday. When they returned to the academy, they brought Qin Xing and the other two with them to serve them. It had been nearly two months since they last saw him. It was said that the three masters were busy with their studies at the academy and would not take a holiday until the Dragon Boat Festival.
He was still very confident about Qin Xing and the other three. Except for Thirteen who was a little jumpy, the other three were very steady. His wife had not looked for him during this period, so he guessed that nothing had gone wrong with them in the academy.
The one who is doing the best among them is Xiao Liuzi.
This kid, no one knows what kind of good fortune he had, but he caught the young lady's eye and followed the housekeeper Sun to learn for a while. Now he has started running back and forth between various farms and shops, and is so busy that he is nowhere to be seen all day long.
It is said that wealthy families are good at training their people. Xiao Liuzi used to be just a young man who was a little smarter than others, but look at him now. In just two or three months, his whole temperament has changed drastically. If he were brought back to his hometown, his parents probably wouldn't recognize him.
As for him, Qin Yong and the other two, they had a lot more free time. Every day, apart from patrolling, they would train the servants in the mansion and train their physiques. In addition, when the master went out, he would follow him.
Qin Wu is very satisfied with this kind of life.
Being able to eat enough every day and eat meat from time to time was something he had never thought about before.
They have been running escorts all year round, and they go hungry one day. Although they look tall and strong, they are actually very weak inside. After staying in the Yan family for two or three months, they have gained a lot of weight back.
Two new sets of clothes will be given out every time the season changes.
Qin Wu carefully patted the non-existent dust off his clothes. If he cherished them, maybe he could save a set of clothes to send back home every quarter.
While thinking about his life in Yan Mansion, Qin Wu carefully inspected every place, not missing a single corner.
The Yan family has given them such generous treatment, so they must do a good job of protection.
When he was patrolling at the Chuihua Gate, Qin Wu saw that in the yard next to it, the eldest girl and her maid were fighting back and forth. Although it looked like a real fight, their moves were messy.
They were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. Steward Sun had made this rule very clear to them from the beginning. Qin Wu didn't want to interfere, but when he thought about it, if it weren't for the eldest girl, let alone the good job they have now, they would have been exiled to the border.
Rules cannot be broken!
After thinking about it, Qin Wu had an idea. If he couldn't go in, the eldest girl would always be able to come out.
"Ahem~"
Qin Wu coughed loudly a few times, and sure enough, the eldest girl and her maid immediately looked over here.
"Fifth Uncle Qin!"
Seeing Qin Wu waving at them, Daohua immediately came over with Wang Maner.
When Qin Wu heard Daohua calling him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He and Qin Xiaoliu are of the same generation. Qin Xiaoliu is Xiaoliu's elder brother, but to him he is Uncle Qin Wu.
I really want to ask, how old does he look? I just gave him a higher generation.
Even though he was complaining in his heart, when he saw Daohua and the other two coming over, Qin Wu still asked with a smile: "Miss, are you practicing martial arts?"
Daohua waved her hands: "It can't be considered martial arts training, at most it's just stretching my body and practicing some punches and kicks." She still had some self-awareness, especially after learning how her third and fourth brothers practiced martial arts in the academy.
Her third brother once told her seriously not to practice randomly. There were special martial arts coaches in the academy, and many people would hurt their bodies by practicing. She only had Wang Man'er, who was not even half-baked, so she didn't dare to practice randomly.
However, in ancient times, public security and medical conditions were poor, and she still wanted to have a strong body, so she would exercise with Wang Maner every morning.
Suddenly, Daohua's eyes lit up. She looked at Qin Wu in front of her and rolled her eyes. She smiled and asked, "Uncle Qin Wu, how do you think our training went?"
Qin Wu was silent for a moment: "Miss, do you want to hear the truth?"
Daohua nodded immediately: "Of course."
Qin Wu: "Then I'll be frank. Young ladies, what you guys are doing is just fancy moves. If you really run into trouble, it will be of no use at all."
Hearing this, Wang Maner pouted and looked at Daohua. She was the one who taught the girl these martial arts skills.
Daohua didn't care and smiled, "Uncle Qin Wu, can you give us some guidance? I don't want to become famous, I just want to strengthen my body. If I encounter any bad guys, I will have some self-protection and won't be bullied."
Qin Wu looked at Daohua and said, "I do have a set of whip techniques suitable for women. It doesn't require much physical training. Of course, after practicing it, you won't become too strong, but it will make your body more flexible and light."
Daohua's eyebrows curved, and she immediately shouted, "This is great. I'm not like my third or fourth brothers who have to take the military examination. As long as I can save my life at the critical moment, I'll be very satisfied."
It has to be said that the encounter with human traffickers left a deep shadow in her heart, making her very worried about her personal safety.
Think about it, Xiao Yeyang is a young prince with so many people serving him, and he could be caught, let alone her.
She is a playful person. What if she gets unlucky and encounters human traffickers one day?
Qin Wu hesitated. "Miss, if you want to learn, I'm willing to teach you. But, shouldn't you talk to the master and the mistress first?"
Daohua nodded: "Well, I'll tell you when we have breakfast later. If my mother agrees, I'll send someone to tell you."
Qin Wu immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay! Miss, you are busy, I will continue my inspection."
As soon as everyone left, Daohua quickly pulled Wang Maner back to the yard to change clothes, and then couldn't wait to find Mrs. Li.
The result was naturally that Mrs. Li could not beat her own daughter. In addition, the old lady also felt that it was very important for her daughter to have a healthy body, so Daohua began to practice whipping with Qin Wu.
Since starting to practice whipping, Daohua has become busier every day.
She would get up before dawn to practice martial arts, and after breakfast, she would start classes. In the morning, she would learn book knowledge and etiquette; in the afternoon, she would practice tracing and needlework.
After finishing the homework assigned by Master Shen, she still had to take time out of her busy schedule to check on the affairs of the farm and the shop.
"Luckily I asked Mom for Little Six."
Seeing that the spring plowing had been completed on the three farms given by his uncle, Daohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three farms all have particularly good geographical locations and fertile land. She has visited each one and, based on the actual conditions, transformed the three farms into tea gardens, flower gardens, and vineyards.
As for the one with a barren hill that he bought before, Daohua plans to use it to grow medicinal herbs and fruit trees.
Anyway, the four farms all have their own characteristics and specific products. The crops grown there are not mixed together, so they are easier to manage.
As for the three shops, one sold vegetables and fruits, one sold flowers, and the other one, she planned to use to sell rouge and powder, which would be made from flowers produced in the garden.
She doesn't care about sales of rouge and powder, just like flowers, she only sells them to rich people.
When she has time, she will also see if she can extract various perfumes from the flowers. This thing should be quite valuable.
