Guo Huai has loved reading and writing since he learned to read, and he keeps reading every day.
Whenever Guo Juren saw Guo Huai studying seriously, he would stroke his short beard and couldn't help but sigh.
This is really a unicorn child sent from heaven to my family, such an excellent seed for reading. This is such a blessing accumulated by my ancestors, making my Guo family prosperous again.
Guo Juren never thought that the seven-year-old Guo Huai had never thought about participating in the imperial examination in studying and doing arts.
Ever since he learned about this world, his dream has been to practice martial arts and become a martial arts master in this world in the future, a knight that everyone respects.
After all, that boy didn't have a martial arts dream.
Guo Huai has been pestering Guo Juren to practice martial arts since he was three years old. Guo's father and mother both rejected him because his son was too young.
Guo Juren repeatedly brainwashed his son about the benefits of studying and becoming an official, but he did not change his son's idea of practicing martial arts. In the end, after years of pulling and pulling, the two sides compromised.
You still have to read books and take the imperial examinations, but you can spare two hours every afternoon to practice martial arts.
Master Liu is still somewhat unknown in Baihe Town. He is an escort who came back from the county town - an eighth-level warrior.
Three years ago, Master Liu, who had been working as a bodyguard in Long'an County for half his life, returned to his hometown and purchased 300 acres of farmland, and built a large courtyard with two entrances in the village.
When he was over fifty, he married a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl. The next year, the bride gave birth to a fat boy named Xiaohu. The happy days of this sweet wife and child made him happy. Master Liu is cheerful every day.
After practicing swordsmanship this morning, Master Liu changed into a new set of clothes, got on the family's donkey and went out. He was going to visit Guo Ju's family in the town.
Guo Ju's family has cultivated and studied for generations. Three generations ago, his ancestors had a Jinshi master and a censor in Kyoto.
Master Liu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Guo family's ancestral tombs have really good feng shui, and they have been the masters of the people for generations.
When my son is older, he will be sent to study. In the future, he will pass the exam and become a high official and a master.
I don’t know what Guo Juren was thinking. Instead of reading good books, he let the young master practice martial arts.
Master Liu knows how hard it is to practice martial arts. He has been a bodyguard for half his life, sleeping in the open air and licking blood from his sword, and has been beaten and killed countless times.
After earning these profits, his wife was supposed to retire safely, but many of the escorts who worked with him died on the road, and now they have turned into dead bones.
In martial arts training, there is the security of studying, and there is the comfort of being an official. Although Master Liu is not very literate, he has also heard that everything is inferior, but studying is the only one who is high.
Guo Huai completed the homework assigned by his father early in the morning and was eagerly looking forward to the martial arts master his father invited for him.
After lunch, Guo Huai finally saw the martial arts master his father called him in the living room.
Master Liu is of medium build, about fifty years old, with a goatee. His black and yellow face is covered with wrinkles like knives and axes. When he holds his fists in salute, you can see the thick calluses on his hands.
"Master Liu, Quan Zi will cause you a lot of trouble in the future. I've spoiled this kid too much and insists on making trouble while practicing martial arts."
Guo Juren added: "Although I am a scholar, my ancestors also served as censors. I know that many high-ranking officials in the capital also possess martial arts."
"I'm not opposed to practicing martial arts, but children don't know how hard it is to practice martial arts, and I'm afraid they won't be able to persist for a few days before giving up."
"Mr. Guo, as long as the young master doesn't think his efforts are vulgar, I will naturally do my best to teach the young master."
Master Liu said modestly, and he also looked at Guo Huai. Although Guo Huai was young, he had fair skin, delicate facial features, red lips and white teeth. He stood there with a small body, his pen straight, and his bright eyes looking at him. .
Guo Juren praised: "Master Liu is the number one master in our Baihe Town, and he is also a famous hero in the entire Long'an County. Teaching children is no problem."
"Huai'er, why don't you come over and pay your respects to the teacher?"
Guo Huai saluted Master Liu, and Guo Juren gave a few more instructions, and then a servant took the two of them to an empty yard. On both sides of the yard were swords, guns, sticks, axes, axes, hooks and forks, stone hammers, stone locks, wooden human stakes, etc.
Guo Huai felt warm in his heart. Although the father in this world didn't want him to practice martial arts, he still loved him and found the best teacher for him and arranged all the items for him to practice martial arts.
Master Liu looked around with his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction. This practice venue is not bad.
"Young Master, what martial arts do you want to learn?" Master Liu wanted to understand Guo Huai's thoughts first.
Guo Huai's young body contained an adult soul. This question was not a problem for him. He pretended to be innocent and said: "I will learn whatever Master is good at!"
Master Liu stroked his beard and thought that he was a smart boy.
Master Liu had a straight face and began to imitate the gentleman from the academy, shaking his head and saying: "When I was ten years old, I went to Long'an County to feed horses to Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, one of the three major escort agencies. Later, I was fortunate enough to be favored by an old escort master and learned some skills. I have been practicing escorting for about ten years since I was sixteen years old."
Master Liu continued: "Many weapons, boxing and kicking skills are all superficial. My special skill is swordsmanship, the 17th style of the violent sword. This is also the special skill that I have relied on for survival since I have been a dart for so many years."
"If you don't mind, young master, I will teach you this sword technique."
Guo Huai nodded seriously and said: "Master, then I will learn swordsmanship!"
"Also, don't call me young master. Just call me Guo Huai."
Master Liu felt very comfortable. Guo Huai did not have the irresponsible temperament of a playboy. Instead, he was smart and respected himself as a retired bodyguard. It seemed that he would teach him well.
