Because she wants to hide people's eyes, King Guangping wears the vest of the caravan, and the big ship hired is not as grand as the ship of the Hou Mansion, and the cabin is not as spacious as the boat that Zhao Xiu sat on before, but she has been living with Gao Zhen and sticking to the side of King Guangping and his wife, and the treatment in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation is the best, and there is no dissatisfaction.

Yanxia even took her to Zhang and Zhao Wei every day, so that she could meet her grandmother and little brother. Zhang gradually cheered up, although his body was still a little weak, he was already sitting and lying down as usual, and he loved his granddaughter as much as ever. Because she knew that her granddaughter was precocious, she had a very mysterious origin, far more than children of the same age, and she did not treat Zhao Xiu as a one-year-old doll, so she specially borrowed pen and ink from Princess Guangping and began to teach her granddaughter the three-character scripture, along with the allusions in it, which were also explained in detail and clearly. When Princess Guangping heard it once, she was amazed and felt that she taught better than herself, so she asked her son to go over every day to audit and review his childhood homework.

Zhao Wei's condition was originally cold after falling into the water, and the children of rich and noble families were born weak, so they failed to improve for a long time, but Imperial Doctor Jiang's medical skills were not ordinary, and under his skillful hands, Zhao Wei slowly got better, but his physique was still weak, and if he blew a little breeze, he would cough.

Zhao Xiu is very worried about his body, like this child, who has fallen into the water, suffered from cold, and has been seriously ill, often weaker when he grows up, and is more likely to get sick than ordinary boys. Zhao Wei is now the only male in their small second room, if he does nothing in the future due to his frailty, the entire small second room will decay, and his grandmother Zhang is unacceptable to this, so he has great expectations for his only grandson, hoping that he can take over the mantle of his deceased father, succeed in studying, and regain his fame.

As for the Marquis of Jiannan, the Zhang family has long been left behind. Zhao Jiong committed the crime of killing his brother, and was stabbed to the emperor by the prince, and he was able to survive because he was stained with his father's light, and he still wanted to keep his title? That's a dream!

Therefore, while teaching his granddaughter the Three Character Sutra, Zhang also ordered his grandson to review his homework when he was recuperating, for an hour every day, and when he was well, this time would be at least doubled.

An hour is two hours, and for Zhao Wei, who is only five years old and has not yet recovered from his illness, the burden is really not light. Now he is still young and ignorant, and he can't even fully understand what it means for his parents to die, thinking that they have just gone far away and will come back sooner or later, and when he is a few years older and knows how much burden he has on his body, will he be overwhelmed? If he is still this small body at that time, how bad the situation will be in the future, Zhao Xiu can completely imagine.

So she started to worry about it.

She persuaded Zhang, afraid that her little brother would work too hard and hurt his spirits, which would affect his body, but Zhang disagreed: "It's just an hour every day, and at other times he lies down to recuperate, where is it hurt?" Besides, he didn't ask him to endorse, just reviewed. My grandmother had asked Dr. Jiang, and Dr. Jiang said it was okay. Eldest sister don't worry, your grandfather knows how to spoil children, where does he know that children are too spoiled and easy to be raised! ”

Zhang also thought that Zhao Xiu was worried about his brother, because he was influenced by his grandfather's thinking that made her "enlightened", Zhao Xiu was speechless and had to retreat.

Gao Zhen saw that she was troubled, so he smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, don't worry, your brother will be fine." I used to get sick when I was a child, but I'm not as strong as a cow now? You let your brother learn from me, my father asked me to learn boxing from the uncle of the guards in the palace, and I played well. ”

Fight?

Zhao Xiu's eyes lit up. If Zhao Wei is allowed to learn martial arts from an early age, exercise moderately, and pay attention to his usual maintenance, his body will definitely get better, right? However, there is only one adult left in their family now, and there are not a few people left, and if they want to learn martial arts, they don't know where to learn.

Zhao Xiu asked Gao Zhen: "Do you know where there is a boxing technique suitable for children to learn?" ”

Gao Zhen thought for a while: "Let your brother learn from me, I will have three sets of boxing techniques!" The guards and uncles all said, I played very well, and I can probably afford to teach your brother. ”

The idea is a good idea, Zhao Xiu is not sure that Gao Zhen really learned those sets of boxing very well, maybe it was just the guards who coaxed him, but the guards of the Guangping Palace were on the boat, and they were very kind and talkative, and when they were okay during the day, they asked for a few tricks of boxing, it shouldn't be a problem, she just wanted a way to exercise, and she didn't plan to learn other people's tricks, and the big road goods were also okay. But the problem is that Zhao Wei is still sick, and both the Zhang family and Princess Guangping strictly forbade him to go out of the cabin to blow the wind. But when he recovers, I don't know when, and the two families may not still be in the same place.

Gao Zhen is still quite smart at a young age, and after he learned about Zhao Xiu's troubles, he thought of a good compromise - he taught Zhao Xiu first, and then let Zhao Xiu teach him when Zhao Wei recovered.

The method is a good way, but it's a pity that Zhao Xiu's small body is enough to even want to walk steadily, let alone learn boxing. She had no choice but to sit on the side, watching Gao Zhen signal the boxing routine in the cabin, and after beating over and over again, she tried to write it down with her brain, and occasionally made a few strokes. Not to mention, although the action of the next game is not good for actual practice, but she can learn the routines in her hand without leaving ten, and after playing again, even Gao Zhen was pleasantly surprised, and even praised her for being smart and having a good memory.

Zhao Xiu thought to himself, this is probably because this body is young enough and has an excellent memory, if he grows up in the future, his memory is still so good, and his hands and feet can continue to be so coordinated, it is really a rare golden finger.

Seeing the two children get along happily, Guangping Wang and his wife and Zhang's are happy to see, with their age, there is no need to pay attention to the difference between men and women, a big bed three or four feet wide in the cabin, they have a bedside, a bedside, a bed, are almost the same bed, play and study together during the day, chat and sleep together at night, it is really intimate.

Yanxia waited closely, smiling at the two of them. She was originally a second-class little girl, because she was clever and clever, she was more favored than some big girls, so she would go out with her, and she had always done chores, and now she was arranged to Zhao Xiu's side, and she didn't complain, and treated Zhao Xiu as carefully and considerately as she did with Gao Zhen, the son of the world.

But the big girl next to Gao Zhen had different ideas from her, seeing Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu being intimate, she was a little unhappy, seeing Yanxia looking heartless, she was angry, looking for a vacancy, and pulled Yanxia to a corner where no one paid attention to her: "The princess said, Mrs. Zhao's condition is getting better, Miss Zhao can accompany her more, why don't you let Miss Zhao stay in Mrs. Zhao's room for more time?" In this moment's effort, he brought the person back, and he was with the prince all day long, what did it look like? ”

Yanxia was surprised when she heard this: "Sister Yanyun, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Zhao is not in good spirits, she teaches Miss Zhao homework for an hour every day, but she can't hold on, Miss Zhao also specially accompanied her for a while before coming back, and the princess also advised her to play with the prince with peace of mind, don't disturb Mrs. Zhao's rest, what's wrong with this? ”

Yanyun pursed her lips, and seeing that she didn't open her mind, she had to explain to her: "What do you know?" When she was in Beijing before, the princess asked the prince to play with the girl of the Zhong family watch more often, and the prince was reluctant, and it was better to get acquainted. Now that the prince is traveling with the princess and princess, I heard him mention the girl of the Zhong family in the first few days, and he was reluctant to leave his friends, and now he has long forgotten about people. When he returns to the capital in the future, the cousin of the Zhong family will definitely be angry when she sees him cold, and the princess will also be angry, and it will not be us who will be punished at that time? ”

Yanxia understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "My sister is also worried too much, Miss Zhao is just playing with the prince for a few days, and when she arrives in Shanghai, the two families are separated, so naturally she should do what she should do." My cousin has always had a little temper, and when the prince and her come back and forth twice, and then get acquainted, what else is there to be angry about? You and I are now just waiting for the little master at the order of the princess, how can the princess punish us? ”

Yanyun glanced at her when she heard this: "It can be seen that you girl has no conscience, you didn't receive less silver from the cousin girl that day, and your mouth was as sweet as honey at that time, but now you have forgotten it." ”

"Who can forget? Such a generous master is really rare. Yanxia smiled, "It's just that no matter how generous she is, she is not our master, how can she ignore the master's orders for that reward?" Sister Yanyun, I am different from you, you married into the palace with the princess with your parents, the cousin girl is your old master, you are naturally closer to her, but I am sent to the palace by the internal affairs government as an errand with my family, unless the cousin girl marries into the palace in the future, otherwise she is just a girl from the in-law family. ”

The smoke cloud was suffocated, and his face was immediately a little hot. Her parents are the companions brought by the princess Zhong from her mother's family, and they are the princess's descendants, and they have always had a transcendent status on weekdays, so they feel that they are superior among the servants, but they forget that people from the palace such as Yanxia have their own arrogance, waiting for the golden branches and jade leaves, where will they put the daughters of ordinary officials and eunuchs in their eyes? I respect the Zhong family on weekdays, but it's just for the sake of the princess.

Yanyun never mentioned this topic in front of Yanxia again, but in private, he probed Gao Zhen's tone, for example, after Gao Zhen happily taught Zhao Xiu to box, he mentioned that the Zhong family's cousin girl was also weak since she was a child, why don't you teach her cousin after he returns to Beijing? The cousin girl is older, so she must be able to learn better than Miss Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhen gave her an unsatisfactory answer: "She doesn't want to learn!" Every time I sweated a little during boxing, she would laugh at me for being stinky and coaxing, and said that it was useless to learn martial arts, and told me to read more poetry and books. Have I not read a book? It's just that I'm tired of playing boxing and distracting myself, how can learning martial arts be useless? If Grandpa Tai doesn't know martial arts, where can he drive the Qing soldiers out of the customs? At that time, she didn't want to have the good life she has now. By the way, he also praised Zhao Xiu: "Sister Zhao won't say such things, and she has studied very hard, obviously she can't stand steadily, and she insists on practicing a few times a day, for fear of accidentally forgetting, teaching her is much easier than teaching her cousin." ”

Yanyun was a little embarrassed, and he was very depressed, but he rarely mentioned it again. It didn't take long for her to figure it out, how old is Zhao Xiu? is more than four years younger than the prince Gao Zhen, even if this son is intimate, when the two are separated, the children will be forgetful, and it won't be long before they remember each other. The cousin girl is different, she often comes and goes in Beijing, there is a princess, she will become a princess in the future, and she doesn't have to worry so much about being a girl, right?

This is just a small episode that happened on the boat, and only Gao Zhen and the two girls know about it, but the parents don't know anything. They were more concerned about the imminent arrival in Suzhou, where they would have to take the overland route to Shanghai.
