“Manman, do you know martial arts?”

Daohua looked at Wang Manman with curiosity.

To be honest, although she had been living in ancient times for 9 years, she was still filled with unease about life under feudal rule.

Back when she was in Yan Family Village, this uneasiness hadn’t emerged because, after all, she had her ‘space.’ As long as she stayed in the countryside, even if she encountered natural disasters, she wouldn’t starve.

But after arriving in Linyi County, her uneasiness intensified.

In ancient times, it was a monarchy and a patriarchal society.

Here, the freedom and democracy she wanted simply did not exist. Take her mother, the first lady of the Yan Family—as virtuous and capable as she was, managing the household efficiently, both beautiful and capable—yet, she still couldn’t obtain equal respect and affection from her husband.

Not to mention taking concubines, but also showing favoritism towards the children of those concubines, squandering the family wealth his first wife had diligently amassed at his whim.

During this time, whenever Madam Li managed affairs, Daohua would occasionally listen in; along with what she usually saw and heard, it was easy for her to deduce the actual situation of the Yan Family.

Her father, though a County Magistrate, hadn’t saved much money over the years due to his integrity.

The only reason the family could still be maintained was all thanks to her mother, who had brought a generous dowry.

In Daohua’s eyes, her father wasn’t worthy of her mother at all.

But the reality was, her mother had to look to her father’s mood for everything, living cautiously and warily all the time, fearing to upset him.

Just the thought of marrying such a man and living a similar life in the future made her feel desperate.

Was she reborn just to experience an oppressive life?

She didn’t want to!

However, escaping such fate was too difficult; she didn’t know what to do, but she did know that whatever she did, a good physique was necessary, and knowing some martial arts would be even better.

The security in ancient times was not great; knowing martial arts could not only strengthen the body but also serve as self-defense in dangerous situations, which was a win-win.

Seeing the young lady eagerly looking at her, Wang Manman nodded, then shook her head.

Daohua was puzzled, “Do you know how or not?”

Wang Manman: “I know a little, but not much.”

Immediate joy spread across Daohua’s face, “No worries. We’re not aiming to become heroes or anything. Knowing a little self-defense is enough.” She looked at Wang Manman with shining eyes, “Can you teach me martial arts?” Wang Manman nodded, “If the young lady wishes to learn, I am willing to teach, but practicing martial arts is very hard.”

Daohua swept her arm with a heroic air, “What does hardship matter? Isn’t it hard to be a person in these times?” She then placed down her poorly embroidered purse and eagerly asked, “When shall we start?”

Wang Manman glanced at Daohua’s tragically pricked fingers, “We can start now, do you want to learn?”

Daohua was in high spirits and immediately agreed.

And so, the two of them began learning martial arts with great enthusiasm. “Manman, don’t we need to do horse stance when learning martial arts?” “Manman, you’re starting by teaching me how to fight, is that right?” “Young lady, just study with peace of mind. My father said, ‘Practice makes perfect, a hundred brawls make a hero.’ The more you fight, the skill naturally improves. The day you can knock me down, you won’t have to worry about being caught in a hemp sack.”

“Hey, young lady, you’re quite strong!”

“Young lady, your physique is quite good, with strong flexibility. You can even do splits, bend down, and kick high. You’d make a good martial arts student.” “These are just yoga fundamentals.” This life, her physical condition was indeed good, and with the nourishment of space food, her body was even better.

Yan Zhigao promptly questioned him on a few topics, and seeing that Yan Wenbin answered all correctly, showed satisfaction, “Your father has been too busy to guide you. If there’s anything you don’t understand from your books in the future, ask your elder brother more often.” _{freēwebnovel.com}
