I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The young boys quickly followed suit, "That's right, Sister Xiaobei is so smart. We have been studying all the way but still can't learn it, but Sister Xiaobei can learn it after just a few glances. Isn't it amazing?"

Tieliang and Fugui had little contact with Ji Xiaobei, and through this journey, they both knew how powerful Ji Xiaobei was.

Tieliang said: "My sister Bei can do it without even watching. I saw that my cousin Fu, the martial arts master, is better than me."

"Yes, he is much better than Zhang Yiyuan and Zhang Eryuan. I looked down on their skills at the time and thought to myself that they were not as good as my sister Bei..."

Ji Xiaobei said happily amidst all the flattery: "Practice well, and I will give you these knives when you return."

She was not afraid of any flaws in the knife, so she wrote a letter and asked Zheng Guo to process this batch of knives. Although they looked rough on the surface, they were actually made of solid materials, and the good materials were all used on the blades.

These people in ancient times did not have any advanced detection technology, so it could not be seen with the naked eye.

Only when you really use this knife in battle can you show your uniqueness.

Ji Xiaobei gave them individual guidance...

Fu Jichang, who was sleeping next door, was awakened early in the morning. The banging sound was so loud that he was so angry that he covered his head and continued to sleep.

He couldn't sleep and kept cursing: Qingbo didn't even know who he rented it to.

It's louder than the military training ground early in the morning. How can we sleep?

"Black Tower, Black Tower..." Fu Jichang shouted angrily.

There was no movement at all.

Forget it, just sleep at home. Even if the sky falls, he won’t be able to hear it.

He didn't mind it. He was away from home for so many days and had to stand guard every night, which was very tiring.

He piled the quilt on his head, curled up like a snail, and twisted around in bed.

The shouting could not be stopped at all.

Hey! Get up.

He got up and put on his clothes. He was so angry that his head was about to explode. He wanted to find out what was going on with this disturbance.

After putting on my clothes and opening the door, Heita was already standing at the door.

"Master, it's too noisy. I can't sleep!"

Fu Jichang: This is outrageous. It even woke up the Black Tower!

The master and servant were about to go out angrily.

Ah Huang walked in.

"Sir, the old lady has gotten up. Let me ask you to go over!" Ah Huang said anxiously.

Fu Jichang tried to calm his anger and asked, "Did the noise from next door disturb the old lady's rest?"

"It's noisy. The old lady got up very early..."

Fu Jichang became even angrier. The old lady was already in poor health, and she couldn't even get a little more sleep. It was really infuriating.

He ran towards Ji Xiaobei's yard.

"Sir, Sir, the old lady is practicing boxing in the yard. Please go over and compete with her..."

Ah Huang hurriedly stopped Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang: Ah…

The old lady is in such a bad condition, how can she practice any kind of boxing?

My grandfather was a military general who had the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts, and he never stopped throughout his life. Even the emperor allowed him to practice martial arts first and then enter the court.

When my grandfather practiced martial arts, my grandmother followed him and learned how to imitate him. This lady from a wealthy family unexpectedly became a martial artist.

My grandmother also followed my grandfather to the northern border where my grandfather won a great victory.

My grandmother was conferred the title of First-Rank Lady...

But since my grandfather passed away, my grandmother never got up early to practice boxing again.

Fu Jichang hurried to his grandmother's yard.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Nanny Zhang and two maids holding clothes in their hands, running around in a hurry.

The old lady was dressed in armor and was busy kicking, punching, and turning around, having a lot of fun.

"Madam Zhang, how is it..." The old lady turned around and saw her grandson. She was so excited that she forgot to put her legs down and staggered...

Fu Jichang rushed over, supported his grandmother, and cried out, "Grandma, are you okay?"

Aunt Zhang and the others were so frightened that their legs went limp.

"Chang'er, now you're here, help grandma up. Grandma can still practice a few rounds with your grandfather!"

Old Mrs. Fu had a smile on her face and looked energetic, as if she was ten years younger.

Fu Jichang was stunned for a moment, and his heart tightened: my grandfather has been dead for ten years!

"Madam, the young master has just returned, please don't scare him..."

Seeing her young master in a daze, Nanny Zhang spoke hurriedly.

Fu Jichang waved his hand, and Nanny Zhang swallowed her words and stepped aside holding the clothes.

He had heard from Nanny Zhang last night that his grandmother had been saying a lot of weird things recently.

He often mentioned his grandfather and father, asking them when they would return from court.

"Grandma, please be careful and follow me..." Fu Jichang helped the old lady steady herself.

He gently stretched out his fist, and the old lady followed suit. He took a step forward, and the old lady followed suit.

He was always keeping an eye on the thin body in front of him, just like when he was a child, his grandmother was protecting him from behind.

After two rounds, the old lady was already sweating slightly.

"Grandma, take a rest! I'm a little tired!" Fu Jichang said in a deep voice.

Old Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Rungao, why is your health not as good as mine?"

Fu Jichang: ...

Rungao is my grandfather’s name.

"Grandma!" Fu Jichang cried out with tears in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Fu was startled, glanced at Fu Jichang, smiled apologetically and said, "Ah, it's Chang'er, how could I have seen it wrong..."

Fu Jichang swallowed his tears.

"Grandma, I'm back! I'm Chang'er..."

"Okay, Chang'er, you're back, okay!"

He helped his grandmother into the house.

Nanny Zhang went into the room to change her clothes.

"Xiao Mei, does the old lady often feel this absent-minded?" Fu Jichang asked sadly.

The little maid said: "Not often, but occasionally, she often mentions the old master and the young master!"

Fu Jichang also asked about her diet.

"Does Madam Gui come over to take care of the old lady on weekdays?" Fu Jichang asked.

"Come, Madam Gui will occasionally stay in the west wing and serve the old lady."

Fu Jichang nodded and said nothing more.

In the morning, there was millet and pear porridge, scallion oil and meat tornado, and some seasonal vegetables. It was simple and plain, and looked very appetizing.

After Mrs. Fu sat down, Fu Jichang kowtowed and greeted her.

Old Mrs. Fu smiled, patted the small cushion beside her kindly and said, "Chang'er, come and have dinner with grandma!"

Fu Jichang sat next to the old lady as if he was a child, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you should eat more breakfast today."

Old Madam Fu pushed the small celadon bowl of porridge in front of him and said, "Try this. The pear inside was given by Miss Ji next door. It's sweet and refreshing, and very delicious!"

Fu Jichang gritted his teeth: Miss Ji who lives next door is such a ruthless person. She just moved in and coaxed the old lady into submission with some food, and even took her to practice martial arts!

What is her intention?

I must meet this Miss Ji if I have the chance!

Fu Jichang nodded, took a sip, and found it was indeed delicious.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted while eating, and the breakfast took them half an hour.

The old lady was so happy that her wrinkles became much less.

"Grandma, the family that just moved in a while ago is making too much noise, you should take a rest for a while.

I asked Uncle Huang to go find them and ask them to keep the noise down."

"Oh, no, no, it's not noisy at all. I'm old, I woke up early, and I was bored lying down. Today, I heard them humming and laughing while practicing martial arts, so I got up with them. I stretched my body and it felt much better."

The old lady said, leaning on the cushion.

Fu Jichang nodded and saw that the old lady was indeed much more energetic.

"Chang'er, are you coming back to stay for a few more days?"

Fu Jichang said guiltily: "I will stay in Anzhou for a while, but I am too busy with official duties and still cannot stay with you at home!"

The old lady said generously: "As long as grandma knows that you are in Anzhou, I feel that you are at home."

Fu Jichang felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Mom, are you okay?" Fu Jichang asked.

He and Madam Gui had a distant relationship and seldom spoke to each other, but last night he heard from Madam Zhang that she took good care of his grandmother, and he felt somewhat grateful.

"She is very nice. She goes to Xishan Temple to pray for you on the first day of every month. No matter what, her heart is still with the Fu family."

There was a hint of helplessness in the old lady's tone.

Madam Gui is now the main wife of the Fu family. No matter what her intentions were in the past, she seduced her son to become his main wife. Now she is the mistress of the family, and she is the one who takes care of all the personal relationships of the Fu family in Anzhou and the capital.

"Chang'er, since you're staying in Anzhou for a while, you should also worry about your marriage! There's a girl in the Lin family in the capital who's about your age. I..."

"Grandma, now is not the time to propose marriage. The emperor has just appointed me as the magistrate of Anzhou, and I am getting married before I start working. This is unacceptable!"
