Chapter 30: Small Changes
Zhu Houzhao rode his horse all the way back to the East Palace.
Liu Jin followed behind with a fart, and said indignantly: "Your Highness, that Wang Shouren is really so blind, he beat three hares, but let His Highness return empty-handed, do you want to teach him a lesson?" ”
Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin, and said angrily: "Dog, is this palace the kind of person with a small belly?" ”
Liu Jin flattered, and said continuously: "Your Highness is broad-minded, since he is not such a person, but that Wang Shouren is really too disagreeable, and that Xie Zhi, this outing was obviously initiated by His Highness, but he chatted happily with Wang Shouren, how can he still be His Highness's companion?" We have to teach them a lesson. ”
Emperor Hongzhi's will to Xie Zhi was only to accompany Zhu Houzhao to study in the East Palace, and he did not accompany him to play.
Zhu Houzhao was noncommittal to Liu Jin's words, and waved his hand irritably: "Forget it, there are a lot of adults in this palace, don't worry about them, let them go!" ”
Zhu Houzhao's original intention of getting in and going out was actually to show off his riding and archery skills in front of Xie Zhi.
Unexpectedly, a Wang Shouren was killed halfway, and he was left with no scum left.
Besides, after he had a picnic with Wang Shouren, he was taught by Wang Shouren to learn archery.
"This bow seems simple, but once you play the bow, you will know that if you want to pull it is not easy, this bow is given to you, you have to practice."
Wang Shouren was generous, and Xie Zhi immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Shouren." ”
Wang Shouren still had a modest smile on his face, and replied: "Thank you for not needing, as long as you can achieve something, don't let this bow be dusty." ”
Xie Zhi is not the kind of person who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, so he assured categorically: "I will definitely practice hard." ”
For an afternoon, Xie Zhi was drawing a bow and shooting arrows.
Xie Zhi was sweating profusely, and he took pity on He Liang to help Xie Zhi go back and forth for a long time to get the bow and arrow that was shot.
Wang Shouren didn't have many bows and arrows, and if he wanted to continue to practice, he could only work hard to get them repeatedly.
Until the sun set, the sky gradually cooled, and Xie Zhi was still drawing his bow.
Wang Shouren, who had slept under the tree, got up and walked to Xie Zhi's side, watched him shoot the bow and arrow that was several times the distance when he began to draw the bow, and said with a smile: "It seems that this afternoon's practice has not been in vain, yes, the progress is quite great." ”
Without Wang Shouren's praise, Xie Zhi could also feel that his practice this afternoon had really made great progress.
Xie Zhi replied: "It's just that it can be ejaculated, and you still need to work hard if you want to hit every shot." ”
Wang Shouren took the bow and crossbow from Xie Zhi's hand and said, "It's good that you know, it's not too early, go back, He Liang, come and hold the bow for your young master." ”
Then, Wang Shouren said to Xie Zhi again: "After practicing all afternoon, go back slowly, remember to compress your arm with hot water before going to bed, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not even be able to hold a pen tomorrow." ”
Needless to say, after Xie Zhi relaxed, he could already feel that his two arms were a little numb and painful.
Xie Zhi moved for a moment, and said with a smile indifferently: "It's okay, just practice for a few days and get used to it." ”
In fact, Xie Zhi can directly study hard to change his current goal of changing the image of the original owner, and there is no need to suffer this sin at all.
But after all, he is going to live here for the rest of his life, and he may be able to use it one day to learn more things in his spare time.
When he was separated from Wang Shouren, Xie Zhi also gave him some fish.
After returning to Xie's mansion, Xie Zhi instructed He Liang to take the remaining fish to the kitchen, some of which were left for the Xie family to taste, and the other part was ready to be cooked and taken to Donggong Lala's connections.
Although the Xie family is also regarded as a prominent family in the court, it is not wealthy, and the silver that can be used by Xie Zhi is limited.
However, even if the Xie family had spare money and could take out this silver, it would be difficult for him to use the money to bribe those insiders in the East Palace.
In case, if he is impeached by a spokesperson, can't he make trouble for his father?
Not to mention looking for trouble, the most important thing is that in this way, his goal of reversing the image of the original owner will be in vain.
Therefore, if you want to make connections, you have to start from these small favors, although the effect is minimal, but it will not let people catch the handle.
After settling these things, Xie Zhi went directly back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
The practice of the bow and crossbow is by no means an easy task, and it is much more tiring than studying in the room, where the wind does not blow and the rain does not rain.
Until dinner was served, Xie Zhi hadn't woken up yet.
Xie Qian pointed to a few dishes of various fish on the table and asked, "Why did you buy so many fish at once?" ”
Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "Today, Zhi'er went to the suburbs to play, and he caught it." ”
Xie Qian was furious, and his eyebrows were cold, and he was about to get angry again.
Mrs. Xie took the first step and replied with a smile: "It was His Royal Highness who came to find Zhi'er first, and there was also the son of Wang Shaozhan's family, Wang Shouren, listening to He Liang, Zhi'er not only caught a basket of fish, but also practiced the bow and crossbow with his son-in-law for an afternoon, I am afraid that I will be tired, and I will fall asleep as soon as I come back." ”
Whether it is the patience of fishing or the perseverance of practicing the bow and crossbow, this is enough to prove that Xie Zhi has changed a lot.
Xie Qian didn't say anything about this matter in Mrs. Xie's excited report, but just pinched several chopsticks in a row to get the braised fish.
After a long time, he said, "Tell the kitchen to leave some food for that kid." ”
At this time, most of the fish and meat were placed on the Wang family's dinner table.
Wang Shouren took the lead and said to Wang Dehui: "Today, my son went to the suburbs to play with Xie Zhi and His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the fish that Xie Zhi caught, and half of it was given to his son. ”
After Wang Shouren picked the fish bone, he gave it to Wang Dehui.
Wang Dehui didn't dislike it, he ate it directly into his mouth and asked, "This is Xie Zhi fishing alone?" ”
Wang Shouren affirmed truthfully: "Yes, when his son and His Highness came back from hunting, he had already fished a basket, and at that time, his servants and servants in the East Palace also went to collect firewood, and no one else would help,"
Soon, Wang Shouren continued: "Dad, my son has also known Xie Zhi for a few days, and seeing him talk is no longer the rumored one, today Xie Zhi also proposed to learn to draw a bow with his son, but he has been practicing for a whole afternoon, and his writing will not be easy tomorrow." ”
Wang Dehui did not have any response to Wang Shouren's words.
Xie Zhi has changed, but this change is still far from the kind of outstanding young people who want to learn in this era.
Naturally, whether it is Xie Qian or Wang Dehui, they will never dare to relax easily.
