Chapter 9 A Girl Comes to Joy
Summer goes and autumn comes, and it has entered winter in a blink of an eye. Zhao Xin has studied with Wang Xun in the past few months. During the day, he practiced bowing and horse shooting with him in his spare time. The rest of the time, he watched Professor Wang Shu and his art of war in the room, and rarely went out to make trouble as before.
Only because he often goes out in the middle of the night and returns in the early morning, he has to be careful not to be found by his family, so Zhao Xin's energy is inevitably a little unsippetuous. At first, he often dozed off while riding during the day and was woken up by a whip. Zhao Xin was also stubborn. Even if his body was full of blue and purple, he refused to complain. He just gritted his teeth and continued to practice. Xinqi was born in Hu and is the most respectable person in his life. Seeing that Zhao Xinyi's children of a white family were so able to endure hardships, he looked at him with some new eyes, so he put away his contempt and taught him equestrianism and archery attentively.
When Wang Xun saw that Zhao Xin's face was blue and purple, he asked the reason. He painstakingly came up with a set of ways to vomit and told him to maintain this posture every day when he slept. At first, Zhao Xin was not used to it, but he still held on. Unexpectedly, after a few days, he felt refreshed and the tiredness of the day was swept away. After sticking to it for a few months, his gait was light and his body was much stronger than usual.
After Zhao Jian was promoted to internal history, his official duties became increasingly busy. He often did not have time to eat at home, and his discipline of Zhao Xin was much less. Seeing that his son suddenly changed his personality like a different person, he sat in the study and read when he was free, and no longer went out to hang out with a group of friends. I didn't have time to think too much, but I was happy in my heart, and even the scolding for him was much less.
Only Li is the only one who hasn't relaxed on Zhao Xin. She has been busy with Zhang Luo's son's lifelong events in the past few months. First, he had a good relationship with his wife, and then the two families often took the opportunity to observe her little daughter. Although Ran's little daughter was young, she was knowledgeable and generous, and her appearance was also extremely beautiful, and she was secretly satisfied. Then she asked her daughter's birthday and eight characters, which made people measure that the eight characters of Zhao Xin's birthday exactly matched, and they were even more full of joy.
At present, he agreed with Mrs. Ran and conveyed this meaning to Ran. Ran Beng also made friends with the new internal history of Zhao Jian, so he was very interested. The two families agreed to let Zhao Xin go to Ran's house first to let Ran Ben and his wife have a look, and then propose marriage.
Li went to mention this matter to Zhao Xin with joy, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xin would not agree as soon as he heard his head shaking like a rattle. Li said at a pardon. Seeing that Zhao Xin refused to agree, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and picked up the ruler and hit him. Zhao Xin was beaten by Li and screamed, but he didn't dare to fight back. He had to dodge and beg for mercy. In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree with an aggrieved face.
.......
The wheels of the carriage are rolling on the bluestone board of the street, and the noise between the markets on both sides of the street is endless, and the hawking of hawkers is very lively.
The carriage slowly turned around at a corner. Gao Ming on the frame shrank his head and shouted at the door curtain; "Young master, Ran's house is coming soon. You should get ready."
"I know." There was a powerless word from the carriage.
Gao Ming saw that the young master, who was usually lively, was like a green vegetable at this time. He couldn't help laughing, gloating on his face, waving a horse whip, and urging him to move forward.
In the carriage, Zhao Xin grabbed his head angrily and looked like he was going to leave. He was uncomfortable at the thought that he was going to marry a 12-year-old girl. At his age, he still knew nothing about men and women. He only felt that suddenly a little girl came to be his wife, which would definitely disturb his free life. Naturally, he was reluctant.
So Li said that his first reaction to let him get married was instinctive resistance. What's more, he didn't even see that girl's face. He didn't know whether she was tall, short, fat or thin, and inexplicably wanted to become his wife, which was really a big fallacy in the world.
Zhao Xin is born with rebellious bones, and his personality is extremely free. How can he be willing to accept this kind of thing? So he began to use his brain in the carriage, thinking about what to do for a while to make Ran Ben give up the idea of marrying his daughter to himself, so that he could go back and have sex with his mother, so he said that Ran Ben and his wife looked down on him.
He reached out and messed up his neat bun. After thinking about it, he wrinkled his brand-new clothes. He grinned and made a few expressions, thinking about how to say something for a while to make the couple kick him out of the door.
Ranfu is in the north of Handan, a high-walled house, which looks much more elegant than Zhao Xin's family.
It is no wonder that although Ran Xin is only a county magistrate, it is under his jurisdiction that it is the location of the royal city and the most prosperous city in Zhao. Therefore, although the grade is not high, the power is extremely heavy. In comparison, the internal history of Zhao Xin, who came from a poor family, is much more shabby.
Zhao Xin obeyed Li's instructions and presented business cards and gifts according to the rules of visiting. The old housekeeper of Ran's mansion apologized and said that a very identifiable person in the house happened to visit. Ran and his wife were not separated from each other. They asked Mr. Zhao to wait in the side hall.
Zhao Xin is happy. It's best to think that he can't be separated all the time, and he can go back to work. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll just wait."
Zhao Xin went to the side hall under the leadership of the housekeeper, and a maidservant served fragrant tea. The housekeeper complained to Zhao Xin and hurriedly left because he was busy entertaining distinguished guests.
Zhao Xin drank a bellyful of tea and waited patiently for a long time, but he still didn't see the couple coming, and his heart gradually became a little impatient. He stood up and walked dozens of steps, looked up at the sky, thinking that his mother would definitely not spare himself when he went back now, and he had to wait.
He couldn't sit still in the hall, so Zhao Xin walked out. When the maidservant who was waiting beside her saw that Zhao Xin was about to go out, she quickly stopped Zhao Xin and said, "Zhao, where are you going?"
Zhao Xin said angrily, "I'm panicking here. I'll go to the yard to get some air. Can't I do this?"
The maidservant looked embarrassed and hesitated; "This courtyard is separated by the inner house of our Ranfu, which is where the ladies and wives live. Mr. Zhao, you are a man... I'm afraid it's not convenient to walk."
Zhao Xin didn't care. He snorted, rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm in a hurry to pee. I need to find a place to solve it. Get out of the way, or I'll tell you to neglect the guests."
Without waiting for the maidservant to reply, Zhao Xin took advantage of her hesitation to squeeze out and strode away, leaving only the maidservant at a loss.
Turning to a secluded corner, Zhao Xin looked around and there was no one around, but his mind became lively.
To be honest, he is extremely curious about what Miss Ran looks like. In the past, he only heard that many noble relatives in Handan City said that Miss Ran was talented and beautiful. She often recited poems at a young age, but few people had seen her. Zhao Xin didn't think so. He thought that this Miss Ran must be as ugly as salt, or her face was full of numbness, otherwise how could she be ashamed to see people?
Now the maid has blocked more, and Zhao's confidence can't help but be curious and wants to find out.
Looking up at the high wall, Zhao Xin spit heavily on the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, turned over and jumped up.
The wall of this inner courtyard is more than a foot and a half. If it were Zhao Xin, it would be difficult to beat him to death. However, in this short period of time, I have learned the seven skills of the yin rune for a few months, and my body is much lighter and healthy. Although the wall was high, Zhao Xin still managed to overturn it.
It's just that there is no place to settle on the wall, and Zhao Xin's posture can't be said to be so embarrassed. It took a lot of effort to climb over the wall, bent down and gasped heavily, but Yu Guang suddenly saw a pair of red eye-catching small boots in front of him.
This is a pair of extremely delicate feet. Looking up along the slender long legs, I saw a girl holding a cat tightly in her arms, staring at Zhao Xin who climbed over the wall with a wary face. The cat in his arms seemed to feel the owner's mind, raised its head alertly, and its green eyes were full of fierce light.
This girl is about the age of Doudou. She wears a plain white fairy dress, but her facial features are extremely exquisite. Big eyes, light pink skin, long eyelashes, although the figure has not grown, it has a faint color. Even if Zhao Xin couldn't understand men and women, his heart couldn't help beating a few times. He felt a little shocked. He only felt that this exquisite and beautiful person was like coming out of the painting.
The only thing that destroys the atmosphere is the girl's expression is not good. The eyes staring at Zhao Xin are cold and hostile, which is not commensurate with the childishness on her face.
But I think so. Suddenly in my home, I suddenly saw a strange man climbing over the wall and falling from the sky. No one would have a smiling face.
Zhao Xin was caught right, and he couldn't help shrinking his body with some guiltyness. He smiled and secretly aimed at the four directions and was ready to run away. He said, "What a coincidence. How dare you are you?"
Although the girl's eyes were soft, her eyes were still cold. Hearing the words, she said coldly, "You are so strange. You secretly climbed over the wall and entered my house, and you asked me who I was first."
