Not to mention that Yun'er regarded this imperially gifted goldfish bag as a family heirloom and carefully stroked the gold-inlaid jade. Even Zhang Jingxiu curled his lips, feeling a little envious.
Goldfish bags are not something you can buy if you have money, and not all the brothers in her family have goldfish bags as gifts.
This represents the dignity of the royal family and the favor of the emperor!
Yun'er carefully put the goldfish bag back into the sandalwood box, wrapped it in bright yellow silk cloth, and then happily took it away.
It seems that she is really planning to hide it at home.
After a while of excitement.
The store gradually became quiet.
Shen Lie comforted her a few more times, and Miss Xuan'er wiped away her tears and carefully put away the contract of sale, which was a matter of family and life.
Her delicate and beautiful face was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Lie turned to her again and said relaxedly: "How about asking Tian Hong to come over tomorrow and take you to the Yamen to change your slave registration so that your household registration will be in Liutiao Street?"
Xuan'er was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down, smiling sweetly and saying, "Thank you so much, Master."
Shen Lie smiled slightly.
Changing from slave status to civilian status requires a sponsor. Shen Lie asked Aunt Li and a few old neighbors to be her guarantee. This matter is not likely to be a big problem.
After finishing the business, Shen Lie didn't say anything more. He just walked slowly outside the store door, turned around, and looked at the tall inner city wall not far away.
I couldn't help but sigh quietly again.
"Is a blessing or a curse?"
Shen Lie was not sure, and while he was thinking deeply, he heard the sound of familiar soft footsteps, and a soft and delicate hand stretched out.
The soft and slender hand gently squeezed his rough big hand.
It's Zhang Jingxiu.
She had the rare courage to actively express her love, but she was a little shy at the same time, so she quickly removed her delicate hand and whispered to Shen Lie: "He treats you well, you... handle it carefully."
Shen Lie nodded, with a hint of solemnity in his clear eyes.
"That's all."
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
A blink of an eye.
It's early morning again the next day.
As expected, Shen Lie was supervising the work in his newly purchased mansion, watching the plasterers, bricklayers, and carpenters busy at work.
The two Dongchang fans came again, still clasped their fists and saluted Shen Lie, and said politely: "I have met Master Shen."
Shen Lie had no choice but to nod to the two fans, untie his old horse from the hitching post outside the door, and follow them straight to Xiyuan.
Riding a horse.
The three of them walked slowly through the busy city. The clothes on the two fans naturally attracted the attention of passers-by. There was disdain and awe in their eyes.
These two fans are the emperor’s followers, and they are also hawks and dogs!
Facing the countless scorching gazes around him, Shen Lie secretly made a decision in his heart.
After all, he is the emperor.
The emperor gave him the face, and he could still call it a character when he declined it once, but he would call it a pure act of seeking death one after another.
Shen Lie sighed softly and muttered in his heart: "The face they gave me... let's just continue."
Half an hour later, Xiyuan in the early morning.
When Shen Lie walked into the martial arts arena.
Look up.
Then he saw the young emperor shooting arrows again, waving to him with a smile on his face, his fat and fair face showing a bit of simplicity.
No matter how good his acting skills are, Shen Lie can no longer act, so he just says in his heart, then he will risk his life to accompany the gentleman. After all, he is not one of those pedantic scholars of this era.
However, the etiquette must still be attentive. Shen Lie cheered up and quickly stepped forward to pay homage, but was supported by the emperor again.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "No."
Shen Lie hurriedly responded: "Hey, ordinary people thank the emperor for his kindness!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries and greeting each other, the two of them said nothing about what happened yesterday.
Shen Lie stood aside obediently, watching the young emperor shoot arrows, watching the heavy armor-piercing heavy arrows being shot out one by one.
The bow strings are ringing, and the arrows are like shooting stars.
After shooting a pot of arrows, today it was nine out of ten, amidst the cheers of the guards.
Zhu Yijun turned back proudly, looked at Shen Lie and chuckled: "Shen Lie, I ask you, do you know how to shoot an arrow? Do you want to give it a try?"
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the common people... won't do it!"
Isn’t this nonsense? I am a good citizen who grew up on Willow Street, a small commoner. Where can I learn archery?
Zhu Yijun immediately burst out laughing: "It doesn't matter."
As he spoke, he handed over the walking bow in his hand, with an encouraging smile on his fat and fair face and said, "Come and try."
Shen Lie looked at the beautifully made walking bow in front of him and said hurriedly: "Common people don't dare."
But Zhu Yijun immediately became a little displeased and shouted: "I ask you to try it, so you try it. How can there be so much nonsense?"
Shen Lie looked helpless and had no choice but to take the bow and said respectfully: "Yes."
Come then!
But Shen Lie really couldn't shoot an arrow. As he shook his arms, he tried to pull the bow in his hand, but he only pulled it halfway, and his biceps began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shen Lie quickly put down his bow and said with a red face: "The common people... are ashamed."
This bow is too stiff and cannot be pulled. It looks like it is a Ming army standard walking bow.
This is not the soft, weak competition bow of later generations. This is a real military weapon, an armor-piercing bow with an ultra-long range!
Zhu Yijun looked at his embarrassed look, but burst out laughing and pointed at him: "Of course you can't do it right. I'll teach you...don't use brute force, lean forward and relax your shoulders."
So under the emperor's personal guidance.
Shen Lie tried to draw the walking bow again, and after several attempts in succession, he finally drew the standard stiff bow for a full month, and then shot it randomly.
I saw the armor-piercing heavy arrow hitting the wall crookedly, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.
The imperial guards suddenly burst into laughter all around.
"Hahaha!"
Amid the roaring laughter, Shen Lie's old face turned red, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said repeatedly: "I'm ashamed, the common people are extremely ashamed."
Zhu Yijun was not surprised, and after a few words of comfort, he glared hard at the laughing guards and let out a cold snort of displeasure.
"Um?"
Seeing that the emperor was a little unhappy, the guards quickly suppressed their smiles.
So the emperor turned around again, smiled at Shen Lie and said: "You do have the strength, but you just can't find the right method, don't be anxious... come again!"
With the emperor's encouragement.
Shen Lie then tried to pull out the bow in his hand again, and with all his strength, he slowly pulled the bow in his hand to the full moon. The long bow made a heartbreaking sound.
Only a soft crunching sound was heard.
The bowstring suddenly broke, and Shen Lie, who had exerted too much force, stumbled and let out a cry of pain involuntarily.
"Ouch!"
As Shen Lie showed a painful expression, a sharp pain came from his shoulder, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and hot sweat broke out from his forehead.
It hurts, it hurts terribly.
Slowly lowering the bow with the broken string, Shen Lie burst into tears of pain. This time it was really not staged, it really hurt!
"hiss."
Shen Lie gasped in pain.
Zhu Yijun was also startled, and hurriedly walked over and said with concern: "What, are you okay? Drawing the bow and archery requires skill. You used too much brute force."
Shen Lie endured the pain and showed a hint of shame, and responded repeatedly: "The common people are stupid and ashamed...for breaking the emperor's bow."
Zhu Yijun did not blame him, but instead asked a few questions with concern, and then shouted to the head guard: "Why don't you call the imperial doctor quickly?"
The guard leader hurriedly responded and walked quickly to the palace, which was separated by a wall, while Shen Lie stood aside with Zhu Yijun's support.
