After arriving at Li Dongyang's house, Li Dongyang took Xie Zhi and others directly to the study.

After arriving at the study, Li Dongyang took out the rice paper and said, "Xie family boy, you write a few words first, and the old man will take a look!" ”

After more than a month of practice, Xie Zhi's handwriting can be regarded as a great improvement, but he is still a little bottomless when writing in front of others.

Liu Jian joked on the side and said, "What? dared to burn Shou Ninghou's carriage on the street, and now he has no courage to write a few words. ”

Xie Qian held the teacup in his hand and didn't say a word about Xie Zhi's performance.

Since his father doesn't speak to him, he can only speak for himself.

Xie Zhi replied with some embarrassment: "Liu Gongmo has to mention this matter again, the kid also knows that the kid is reckless, and there is something wrong with Shouning, so there is the law of the court, and the kid usurped the law of the court and burned the car on the street, ignoring the law of the court, and also damaging the face of the court." ”

Xie Zhi's answer can be described as very modest.

If the laws of the court were useful to Zhang Heling, he would not have done evil in the court like this.

Although Xie Zhidang burned the car on the street, although it had the drawbacks he said, which damaged the face of the imperial court, it was also a bad breath for many people.

Over the years, Zhang Heling has bullied more than one person.

For Xie Zhi's answer, several cabinet scholars present were quite satisfied, Liu Jian laughed and said, "Gong Xie, this kid of your family still has a bit of eloquence!" ”

Xie Qian didn't say a word to Liu Jian's words, but the intention of rising up was to be able to betray the pride in his heart at the moment.

After hesitating for a long time, Xie Zhi finally wrote down the previous paragraph of the teacher's table.

Li Dongyang did not criticize the few lines written by Xie Zhi first, picked it up and looked at it for a long time, and then said: "This word does not look beautiful, but it has a skeleton, the only drawback is that the practice is not diligent, the old man's opinion, or more practice is, there is no need to make changes on the muscles and bones, so persistent, maybe it is a new generation of everyone." ”

Everyone? Xie Zhi really didn't think about it.

He just hoped that his word would go up to it, and that no one would have to mention him, and that what he thought of was his dog-like word.

commented like this, Wang Dehui also said.

So, is it possible that he will become a generation?

Before Xie Zhi was excited, it was self-evident that Xie Qian heard such an evaluation of his son, and took the lead in asking, "Is this the truth?" ”

Li Dongyang smiled and replied: "The old man's opinion is really so. ”

Xie Qian picked up the word written by Xie Zhi and studied it for a long time, and finally put it down, and told Xie Zhi, "You can know what Li Gong said, do more practice, don't slack off!" ”

Xie Zhi had obviously felt that Xie Qian's words were a little proud.

If he really takes a champion back, then how proud his father should be.

In front of his father's colleagues, Xie Zhizi wanted to let his pride continue, and replied: "Yes, my son knows." ”

At Li Dongyang's house, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian pushed the cup to change the lamp and got drunk, Xie Qian accompanied him in a proper manner, and asked him questions, he replied humbly, he didn't say a word about things that had nothing to do with him.

After eating a meal for half an hour, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian's good impression of Xie Zhi doubled, and even Xie Qian felt that his son had really changed for the better.

Just when Li Dongyang was having dinner at home, Zhu Houzhao took mahjong to Kunning Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, Xiao Jing, plus a Zhu Houzhao, the four of them made up a table of mahjong.

In addition, there was a palace maid who stayed next to Zhu Xiurong.

It's also a lot of fun for the family to sit together.

Zhu Houzhao is also patient, in the first few games, he taught how to play with a few people at the table.

In the next few rounds, it was finally on the right track.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi open his mouth and asked, "Where did that kid go to Xie Zhi?" Not in the palace again? ”

Although Xie Zhi is Zhu Houzhao's companion, he can't do without his own private space, right?

He went out of the palace to visit Li Dongyang, because of the question of asking the coach, and there was nothing unpleasant.

There was no need for Zhu Houzhao to be sloppy, and he replied directly: "He went out of the palace, saying that he was going to visit Master Li and ask for advice on how to practice calligraphy." ”

Emperor Hongzhi paused, walked away, and said, "That kid has really changed a lot, and you have to learn these things well." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't have any objection to Xie Zhi now, and he accepted this advice to Emperor Hongzhi, and replied: "Yes, Erchen understands." ”

It was only half an hour, and Emperor Hongzhi took the lead in proposing to resign.

"Okay, that's all for today, prince, you go back to study, I have to go and review it."

Since Emperor Hongzhi proposed to resign, the remaining people naturally did what they said.

"Yes, father, mother, the ministers have retired."

Zhu Houzhao was about to say goodbye, but Zhu Xiurong said: "Brother, next time you go out of the palace, remember to take Xiurong with you." ”

In front of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, even if Zhu Houzhao was unwilling, he had to readily agree, and replied: "Okay, my brother will definitely take you with him when he goes out again." ”

After Zhu Houzhao agreed, Zhu Xiurong did not give up, and said: "Brother, you will tell Xie Zhi when you go back." ”

Empress Zhang hugged Zhu Xiurong and said lovingly: "Let my brother go back to study, don't disturb him." ”

appeased Zhu Xiurong, Empress Zhang waved at Zhu Houzhao and sent Zhu Houzhao away. Zhu Xiurong was still behind, and shouted: "Brother, don't forget, take Xiurong out together." ”

Emperor Hongzhi on the side took Zhu Xiurong from Empress Zhang's arms and asked with a smile: "Xiurong, why do you have to go out of the palace?" ”

Zhu Xiurong pouted and replied: "It's fun outside, it's not fun in the palace!" ”

Zhu Xiurong's serious answer provoked Emperor Hongzhi's face, and said with a smile: "If Xiurong is willing to go out, then I will find someone to take with me, you can go out at any time, you don't have to wait for your brother to join you, okay?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said this to make his daughter happy, but he didn't expect to be rejected directly by Zhu Xiurong.

"No need for my father, my sons will follow my brother and Xie Zhi."

Zhu Xiurong would rather not go out of the palace, but also follow Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi, what else can Emperor Hongzhi say, so he had to say: "Okay, then it depends on Xiurong, Xiurong wants to go out with whomever he wants, then go with whomever he wants, and when he wants to go out, he will go out." ”

Emperor Hongzhi had very deep requirements for Zhu Houzhao, but he doted on Zhu Xiurong.

Empress Zhang on the side looked at this picture of father's kindness and filial piety, and her face was soft.

After a long time, he took Zhu Xiurong from Emperor Hongzhi's arms and said: "Xiurong, don't bother your father anymore, your father will still go to approve the folds, and the queen mother will play with you, okay?" ”

Although Zhu Xiurong is favored, he is not domineering, he is very sensible, and replied: "Okay, my father should be careful of his body, rest early, don't be too late." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was very pleased with Zhu Xiurong's concern, with a loving face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”

......

Zhang Heling took the drawings of mahjong, found craftsmen to build a few pairs, and sold some silver.

After his drumming, many wealthy and powerful people in the Beijing division knew about mahjong, and for a while, mahjong was popular among the Beijing division.

Xie Zhi put all his thoughts on reading, and completely ignored what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages.

Among the traversers, such an identity as him is considered lucky, not poor, and not in the middle of the road, so that he has enough time to learn the current knowledge and adapt to the form of letting go. 、

is still the same sentence, if Xie Zhi wants to make some achievements in this era, he still has to be down-to-earth.

Although he is the son of a cabinet scholar, and he comes into contact with some dignitaries and dignitaries on weekdays, it is unrealistic for him to talk about it and make any reforms as soon as he comes up.

As long as he has a solid grasp of the knowledge of the present era, he will show his strength in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Xie Zhi crossed over.

In the past two years, Xie Zhi has spent almost all of his time studying.

After two years of hard work, Xie Zhi didn't dare to say that he had read the books of the world, but at the very least, he had mastered the necessary things to participate in the imperial examination.

In the past two years, Xie Zhi rarely went home, and he just went out of the palace when the East Palace was suspended, and if the time was relaxed, he would have a meal at home, and if he really didn't have time, he would show up very rarely.

The Xie family has a lot of happy events, and Xie Zhi's four brothers have all started a family, so the Xie family is naturally a lot more lively.

In the 11th year of Hongzhi, in the year of Wuwu, in July.

The township test is held every child, mao, noon, and unitary year, and the township test will officially start in one month.

In the past two years, Wang Dehui has been teaching Xie for more than half an hour of scripture and history, and there has never been a day of rest.

Xie Zhi can make today's progress, and he really needs to thank Wang Dehui more.

"Thank you, there will be an official township exam in another month, in this month, the old man will take some of the previous year's test questions and the best works of the year, after you practice yourself, you will also find your own shortcomings."

Wang Dehui is also a champion, and he also has a lot of experience in how to practice.

Regarding Wang Dehui's proposal, Xie Zhizi readily agreed and replied: "Yes, sir." ”

Zhu Houzhao on the side asked with a smile at the right time: "According to Master Wang's opinion, can Xie Zhi be able to solve the yuan?" ”

Wang Dehui just paused and replied: "The minister is not afraid of Xie Zhi's pride, in the minister's opinion, Xie Zhi is very likely to get this Xie Yuan." ”

Xie Zhi didn't say much, but Zhu Houzhao was quite pleased, and said, "Really? In this way, Xie Wu is also very likely to win the third yuan? ”

Of course, it is the best to be able to win, but it is not good to praise Haikou, in case it is not possible to win, it will not be a slap in the face.

"Even if you can win the championship in the township examination, you may not be able to win the examination and the palace examination, and you don't know how the ability of other scholars is, even Brother Shouren is already a tough opponent."

Xie Zhi told the truth, Wang Yangming is a bull breaker, although in history he failed to go home with a champion like his father.

However, who knows if the butterfly effect produced by his crossing will be possible?

Xie Zhi praised Wang Shouren, which came from the heart.

"If you can play well, you won't be inferior to Shouren."

Xie Zhi hadn't said anything yet, but Zhu Houzhao was very excited, and said, "Xie Wu, did you hear that?" Master Wang said that you can do it, if you can really win the three yuan, it is rare in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Two years to compare the work of others for ten years, why is Xie Zhi so unconfident?

Since Zhu Houzhao is so loving, Xie Zhi followed, and replied with a smile: "The grass people hope to have this glory, but unfortunately, there are many talents in the Ming Dynasty, and the grass people are insignificant. ”

Xie Zhi also wants to be tough, who has made him have nothing to achieve now.

If you can really hit the three yuan, even if you brag about it, others still have to say it, that's people's ability.
