Chapter 15: New Partners
At the end of more than an hour of teaching, Ning Guogong let Zhao Xi rest for a quarter of an hour, and then began to practice calligraphy.
Zhao Xi had already been taught by her grandmother to practice calligraphy and red painting at home, and Ning Guogong gave her another masterpiece, she just needed to follow and practice. For a while, in the large study, there was only the slight shaking sound of Ning Guogong lying on the rocking chair and the faint rustle of the brush writing on the paper.
When Zhao Xi had just finished practicing the three big characters, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the door, "Grandpa, the eldest young master, Young Master Xu, and Young Master Gen are here, and they want to come in and say hello to you." ”
"Let them in."
Zhao Xi raised her head and saw her eldest cousin Han Yatang walking in first, followed by her eldest brother and second brother. After Zhao Xi waited for them to say goodbye, he also walked out from behind the special bookcase for her and said hello to the three brothers. Han Yatang nodded and smiled in response, Zhao Xu touched his sister's head, and Zhao Yan looked curiously at the words written by his sister.
Zhao Yan looked at the three big characters in his hand, and nodded while reading, "My sister is really talented, and she has only been learning for a few days to write decently." ”
Ning Guogong spoke, "Take it to me and take a look." ”
Zhao Yan handed it over, Ning Guogong took it and checked them one by one, without making a sound, thinking that this boy loves his sister to the point of outrageousness, look at the dog crawling words written on it, it is also called decently written.
Zhao Xi is a small person, and his practice has only begun, and the words he writes are all soft and lying on his stomach, so naturally he will not be much better, so Zhao Gan, the sister control, is telling lies with wide eyes.
"It takes a lot of practice." Ning Guogong commented.
"Yes, Xi'er knows." Zhao Xi replied with a solemn hand.
"That's all for today, go home with your brother, and come tomorrow just like today."
"Yes, Na Xi'er will go home first, uncle and grandfather, see you tomorrow." Zhao Xi and his two elder brothers announced their retirement to Ning Guo.
Han Yatang sent the three of them out of the hospital, watched Zhao Xi holding Zhao Xu with one hand and Zhao Yan with the other, and kept answering, "Today's class is interesting." "I'm not tired, I ate well, and I rested at noon." and so on, and the little face kept showing a sweet smile.
Han Yatang couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, and saw the figures of several people walking farther and farther away under the leadership of his subordinates, and turned around and returned to the study.
Han Yatang stood in front of Ning Guogong, bowed down and asked, "Grandfather, how is Cousin Xi compared to me?" As the successor cultivated by Ning Guogong and Han Shizi together, he would not be stupid enough to ask Ning Guogong why he taught Zhao Xi, he would only ask how.
Ning Guogong looked at his grandson's calm face, and understood that he just wanted to evaluate Zhao Xi's ability, not that children were jealous, so he closed his eyes slightly, compared his grandson's performance when he was four years old with Zhao Xi in his mind, opened his eyes again, and said honestly, "You are far inferior to Xi'er when you are four years old." ”
When Han Yatang heard this, he still didn't have any expression on his face, but said, "My grandson is ashamed." ”
Grandfather compared his performance when he was four years old with Zhao Xi, which means that he is much stronger than Zhao Xi now, and this is also the right thing.
He is eight years older than Zhao Xi, he has grown up beside Ning Guogong since he was a child, no matter the scheming, the city, the means, or the strategy, Zhao Xi can compare. And he said that he was ashamed, because he was better than Zhao Xi but he took advantage of his age, if he was the same age, he couldn't compare to Zhao Xi. It made him feel a little complicated.
"It doesn't have to be this way." Ning Guogong disagreed, "Xi'er is a rare person like Xi'er for a thousand years, maybe it's like what your grandmother said, she is a fairy in the sky who came down to earth to train." There is no comparison between God and man. Tang'er, compared to your father, you are already very good. ”
"Yes, my grandson understands." Han Yatang knew that Ning Guogong was comforting him, and he didn't say anything, and then talked to his grandfather about his reading doubts during this time
Zhao Xi answered the two brothers' "love concerns", and at the same time curiously asked them about the school, and they could hear the crisp children's voice and the clear male voice along the way.
When Zhao Xi returned home, he naturally had to face the inquiries of the four elders, and when he learned that Zhao Xi liked this kind of teaching very much, the four elders were even more relieved. After dinner, Zhao Xi had nodded from time to time like a bird pecking wood, and Zhao's father saw this and hugged Zhao Xi back to the room, during which Zhao's mother helped her bathe without any response, and she was already asleep.
Zhao Xi went back and forth to Han's house to study in this way until five days later. Zhao Xi looked at the eldest cousin beside him, his eyes full of question marks.
From the next day, Zhao Xi came to Ning Guogong's study, moved his muscles and bones, and then began to stand on the pile, and after a stick of incense, Ning Guogong would appear.
Now she was standing on the pile, but the eldest cousin who was supposed to go to the girls' school to take classes actually appeared, and she asked Han Yajing curiously who had circled around her: "Cousin Jing, don't you have to go to the girls' school?" ”
Han Yajing shook her head and said, "Xi'er, can I study with you?" ”
Zhao Xi blinked and looked the seven-year-old girl up and down, she was going to learn martial arts with her?
Seeing that Han Yajing had also changed into a strong outfit and was full of interest, she knew that she was not joking.
"I begged my grandfather for many days, and he said that if I could do it like you, he would promise me. Come, you can teach me how to stand on the stake, last night my grandfather said he would come and test the results later. Han Yajing said a little imperatively.
When Zhao Xi heard this, she began to guide Han Yajing in the posture of standing on the pile, and after seeing that her cousin had already stood on the pile, she also started to stand on the pile again.
In the quiet courtyard, there are only two small maids standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, standing in the corner and looking at their young lady's swallow and two young ladies standing under the big tree practicing horse walking.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xi heard the sound of heavy breathing beside him.
Zhao Xi didn't squint, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin Jing, how are you?" ”
Han Yajing gasped and replied, "Fortunately, I can hold on." ”
Zhao Xi encouraged her, "It's good to get through, if it's really hard, you might as well recite the endorsement silently in your heart." ”
"I'll try." Han Yajing replied.
An hour had come, and when she heard Ning Guogong's voice that appeared at some point and said, "It's time, let's rest", Han Yajing could no longer support it, and spread it on the ground like soft mud.
After a few days of standing on the pile, Zhao Xi was a little better, and his legs trembled slightly and waited for the swallow to come to help. As usual, Yanzi helped Zhao Xi to lie down on the soft couch in the wing, and then began to massage.
Zhao Xi turned his head and saw Han Yajing lying on the soft couch on the other side of the room, and Qi Mo beside Duchess Ning Guo was pinching her.
Han Yajing turned her head to look in Zhao Xi's direction, her words were full of admiration, "Xi'er, it's really tiring to stand on the pile, it's hard for you to hold on to it at such a young age, as a sister, I can't infer too much on you." ”
Zhao Xi said with a smile, "Cousin Jing, I saw that my uncle and grandfather agreed to you, it's so good that someone has accompanied me to study." ”
Han Yajing herself actually felt that she could pass her grandfather's request, and she was happy, and replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, don't worry, everything will have me in the future." "It's like a big sister's head. The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The subsequent study course has not changed, except for Zhao Xi having one more classmate, her life is still two points and one line between home and the Han family. When it comes to the holiday time, it is often either the family going out to play or Zhao's mother taking Zhao Xi to pay for various banquets, so that Zhao Xi has a general understanding of the various patterns of the capital.
Since Emperor Yanren came to the Zhao family to know Zhao Xi's specialness, he didn't see him have any other reactions, but the chief eunuch in the palace, Father-in-law Qi, sometimes came to the Zhao family to explain to the eldest princess that the queen missed Zhao Xi very much, hoping that she could take Zhao Xi into the palace to visit one or two.
Whenever this time, the eldest princess would take Zhao Xi into the palace the next day, and every time she would see Emperor Yanren who happened to come in the queen's palace. In this regard, Zhao Xi was secretly speechless about this coincidence. Fortunately, there are not many times when entering the palace, only three or four times a year.
