Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

When Lin Daiyu saw her father's reaction, she looked at Mu Xi first, tears in her eyes, as if saying, "Sister, can I not drink it?"

"Sister, drink it quickly. Look, father has already drunk it, so you should drink it obediently. It's good for your health."

Mu Xi ruthlessly ignored the pleading in Daiyu's eyes and began to urge her.

"..." Daiyu was discouraged. Her father couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to drink it. She picked up the medicine tremblingly, thinking it would be better to swallow it in one gulp, as she would have to drink it sooner or later.

Daiyu swallowed it in small sips, enduring the sour taste. After drinking it, her eyes were a little red.

Mu Xi was satisfied when she saw that both of them had finished drinking.

"Xi'er, let me find you some female teachers to teach you music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Do you have any special talents you want to learn? And Xi'er, can you read? Let me find you another teacher to teach you."

Lin Ruhai said gently.

"Dad, my daughter can read now. There is no need to find a teacher to teach her. I don't have a preference for other things, so I will just learn them all."

Mu Xi replied with a smile.

Then Mu Xi added, "I wonder if Daddy can add riding and archery lessons, and martial arts lessons, to my sister as well."

When Lin Daiyu heard that she also had a share, she was confused, and then looked at Lin Ruhai expectantly.

Daddy, please don’t agree to it. I don’t want to practice martial arts. It’s too hard.

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised when he heard this suggestion. He thought that practicing martial arts was also a good idea to strengthen his body, but could Yu'er do it?

Mu Xi saw that Lin Ruhai was still hesitant, so she continued to fool him.

"Dad, Master taught me a set of physical exercises suitable for women. It's just right for me to exercise. It's good for my body. With the addition of the health-preserving soup, I'm sure I'll be able to jump around and be healthier than anyone else."

"Dad, Master taught me to train this way before."

"Really? How do you remember so much?"

Lin Ruhai was a little shaken. He wavered away the servants and asked in confusion.

"Dad, you also know that my master is not an ordinary person. He has a special method to transmit all the contents into his brain. Also, Dad, I also want to learn some medical skills. My master taught me some prescriptions for maintenance and health."

Mu Xi calmly stated the excuse she had prepared earlier.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

Lin Ruhai hesitated for a second and then agreed without asking about the recipe. He thought that his eldest daughter's master was so powerful, and what he gave to Xier should not be bad either. He decided to clean up the traces again to prevent anyone from finding out.

He said with concern, "Xi'er, don't tell anyone about your master. I'm afraid someone with bad intentions will take advantage of you. Also, don't tell anyone the formula your master gave you..."

Lin Ruhai kept on giving Mu Xi some instructions on what to pay attention to, and also told Lin Daiyu not to tell anyone.

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai quickly called the teacher over, and Mu Xi and Daiyu also became busy, having to learn a lot of things every day.

Daiyu was even more miserable. She had to do horse stance every day until her back and waist ached. She wanted to rest, but with Mu Xi supervising her, she dared not be lazy.

At night, Mu Xi let Daiyu take a medicinal bath, and she felt full of energy the next day.

Originally, Lin Ruhai felt a little reluctant and wanted to stop it, but when he saw that Lin Daiyu was getting healthier and healthier, he just let Mu Xi do whatever she wanted. He decided to watch less and not feel bad about it anymore.

Mu Xi would also cook health-preserving soup for Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu on time every day.

The father and daughter were even more miserable, but they couldn't resist Mu Xi, so they could only pray silently that this miserable life would end soon.

Daiyu was so tired every day that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed. She had no time to feel sad about the passing of time. She became much more cheerful and the depression between her brows dissipated a lot.

In just one month, Lin Daiyu's transformation was like a complete rebirth.

Mu Xi also began to manage the household affairs of the Lin Mansion. Mu Xi also found a way to bring Lin Zilan into the mansion to help her manage the affairs, while Chu Xiao stayed outside to help Mu Xi manage the shop.

That day, Lin Ruhai accompanied Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu to finish dinner, and the health-preserving soup was served again.

"Xi'er, your father is already in good health now, so you don't need to drink this health-preserving soup, right?"

Lin Ruhai asked, he was really scared of drinking it, for a whole month, his mouth was filled with a bitter taste of medicine and nothing tasted good.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she looked at Mu Xi expectantly.

"This is the last bowl of this treatment. You can drink it once a month to strengthen your physical fitness, or you don't have to drink it." Mu Xi said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and thought to themselves, "That's great, we finally don't have to drink anymore."

Then Lin Daiyu looked at Mu Xi expectantly and said, "Sister, then do I not have to attend martial arts class every day? I am already very healthy now, so I don't need to exercise anymore."

"No! Starting tomorrow, I will teach you a set of physical skills."

Mu Xi used the most gentle tone to speak a cruel truth to Daiyu, who did not like to practice martial arts.

"Well...well, thank you for your hard work, sister."

Lin Daiyu said with a little disappointment.

Then, Lin Ruhai began to examine Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu's homework before letting the two daughters go back to rest.

On the other hand, Grandmother Jia also learned that her daughter had given birth to twins. Now she has returned to the Lin family, and they cannot take in Lin Daiyu, their granddaughter, at this time. They have to wait until the mourning period is over.

After hearing the news brought back by the servant, Grandmother Jia waved her hand and asked people to leave, while she herself was thinking about how to win over Lin Ruhai.

The original intention was to take Daiyu in and let her and Baoyu grow up together and become a couple, so that the Lin family's property and connections would fall into the hands of the Jia family. But now this plan is not feasible because there is an additional eldest daughter.

Lin Ruhai would not marry his only two legitimate daughters to the Jia family.

A cold light flashed in Jia's mother's eyes. If she only had one daughter, wouldn't it be possible?

......

The next day, morning!

Mu Xi dismissed the servants and began to teach Lin Daiyu a set of physical skills.

Lin Daiyu stood listlessly aside and watched Mu Xi practice it.

"What? You don't want to learn?" Mu Xi asked softly.

Lin Daiyu: "Sister, it's useless for me to learn this! It can't make me powerful."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi picked up a stone and crushed it in front of Daiyu.

"Wow! Sister, can I be so awesome?" Lin Daiyu asked Mu Xi excitedly.

Mu Xi: "It depends on your talent, but your strength will definitely increase. How much it increases depends on how long you can hold on."

In fact, it is true that strength can be increased, but there will be limitations and it will not continue to grow. But this is enough for Lin Daiyu.

"Then I will definitely study hard."

Lin Daiyu said with a solemn oath.
