Starting from tomorrow, let Hua Qi teach you and Shiro how to ride every afternoon. You should also practice martial arts. Zhang Shou is good at everything, but his body is average and his martial arts is even more mediocre. If only he could have the same martial arts qualifications as Yingying
It would be nice to be outstanding! It's a pity that no one is perfect, and no one is perfect. If he was really good at both civil and military skills, like Yingying and her elder brother, I would think that the monsters are in pairs!"
Seeing that his stupid son was still looking at him with confusion, the emperor suddenly became angry: "Don't you understand? If you train your body better, you can live longer in the future. Moreover, you can bear the beating better!"
What does it mean to be able to bear a beating better?
At dusk, Zhang Shou received the paper for the Sutra calculation question, and immediately distributed it to many students, asking them to complete the preliminary screening as soon as possible. He himself took Ah Liu and quietly left from a fence somewhere in the public school as usual.
At that moment, he bumped into Hua Qi, who was waiting for him. Hua Qi didn't say any nonsense, and directly said the emperor's original words, asking the third prince to practice martial arts well.
Zhang Shou was so dumbfounded that he was speechless. When Ah Liu brought the horse over as if nothing had happened, he asked helplessly: "His Royal Highness has been beaten for several days, why did the emperor just send you, Mr. Hua Qi, to ask for punishment?"
Is this because the reflex arc is too long? Or is it that the third prince was too well hidden before and no one else noticed it? As for the many East Palace attendants, it seems that no one noticed it, but as the emperor is the father, the third prince lives in the
Next door to the Qianqing Palace, I only found out today, is this father-in-law too careless?
"We can't talk about calling for an apology. His Highness originally thought he could keep it a secret forever, but after being exposed by the emperor, he had to tell the whole story honestly. The emperor then left their brothers to me and asked me to teach them how to practice martial arts, so as not to look back.
Fight. Actually, the emperor didn’t ask me to come, but I just wanted to tell you that the emperor already knows about this."
Hua Qi shrugged and said with a half-smile: "Now that I no longer have an errand in Zhao Guogong's Mansion, your little guys in Zhangyuan don't have to watch them practice their martial arts every day. It's not easy for me to be free."
, but suddenly I have these two burdens. I can’t be beaten or scolded in the future. Can’t I make you, the chief culprit, worried?”
Hearing that this was the reason, Zhang Shou immediately cast a sidelong glance at this lunatic. The emperor seemed to have no objection to him teaching the prince a lesson. Instead, he asked Hua Qi to teach the third and fourth princes to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies.
The body can withstand the beating, but why does he feel that this is more like an irony?
If it were anyone else, he might have been trembling with fear, carefully considering whether Hua Qi was joking or hinting, but Zhang Shou didn't bother to think so much. He didn't have the habit of trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts. If he couldn't figure it out, then he didn't think about it, and he just acted as if nothing had happened.
He said: "That's right, wealth, glory, wealth, and supreme achievements are nothing compared to a strong body."
"There is a saying that if you don't have anything, you'll get sick; if you don't have anything, you won't have money."
The last sentence finally succeeded in choking Hua Qi. He glanced at Zhang Shou who seemed to be okay, smiled and then quietly disappeared. Ah Liu, who had been silent just now, came up and whispered to Zhang Shou: "
If I had known earlier, I might as well have fought instead."
"I just believed in your evil at that time... It would be better to pretend to be beaten than not to be beaten at all. Those ten blows with the ruler will not be light." Zhang Shou couldn't help but shook his head, but his attitude remained calm, "But I don't regret it either, look at the prince
The way he looked at that time, if I hadn't beaten him, I'm afraid he would have been struggling for several days. Sometimes I need to drink to get a wake-up call, but sometimes I have to rely on beatings. Of course, I don't want it to happen again."
"His Royal Highness is so sensible, there will definitely be no next time."
Ah Liu's impression of the third prince was indeed very good, just as his impression of the fourth prince was firmly nailed down to the word naughty boy. But when he followed Zhang Shou back on horseback, he suddenly felt distressed.
He scratched his head: "Speaking of which, the lunatic came all the way here just to tell you this, young master? Is he going crazy because of his idleness?"
Hua Qi, who had just passed Xuanwumen, felt his nose was a little itchy and sneezed twice. Then he suddenly let out a startled sound, and then patted his head with some regret: "I went all the way, but I forgot the most important thing.
, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally take those East Palace lecturers to Jiuzhang Hall... Hey, forget it, anyway, Zhang Shou has always been calmer with more people, it doesn’t matter if you know it or not!"
Zhang Shou didn't know that Hua Qi forgot to reveal the key purpose of his visit - it was even unclear whether he really forgot or pretended to forget. Anyway, the night fell very early on this cold day. When he stepped into the gate of Zhang Garden, it was already early.
It was already time to light the lamp. He saw Ah Liu taking an open tile lamp from the concierge and walking in front to illuminate it for him. When he reached an open space, he couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
"It's getting really cold today!"
Jiuzhangtang moved out of the Imperial College. The advantage is that he is free, but the disadvantage is... the outer city public school is really too far away! It is really cold to run back and forth like this on a cold day, although the carriage is bumpy and it is easy for others to
Tracking, recently someone recognized the family's carriage and kept following it, but after all, being warm and sheltered from the wind saves effort! And whether it is the Imperial College or the public school, it is too cold.
Even though Lu Wan had taken the actual situation into consideration and when building the house, all the dormitories had kangs, and according to Zhang Shou's suggestion, all the classrooms had brick fireplaces and chimneys, but it was not the end yet.
When it's cold, considering the cost, these heating facilities certainly can't burn to the extent that people would be so hot as to wear only single clothes in later generations of northern heating.
Sitting wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket so as not to feel cold is the original purpose of the heating facilities in public schools. As for the Imperial College... I'm sorry, the Imperial College built in the early years of this dynasty did not have any heating equipment installed at all. At that time, the world was full of waste.
Even if there is an earth dragon in the palace, they are often reluctant to burn it. Each supervisor is provided with a fixed quota of firewood, and that's it.
And today, there are thousands of prison students, so even the limited supply of charcoal is gone. The imperial court allows you prison students to come to school, not to enjoy themselves. That is the former Banshan Hall, where the middle school students are either rich or not.
Expensive, but the treatment is slightly better.
So, when Mrs. Wu saw Zhang Shou, she directed the girl to take off Zhang Shou's thick cloak and leather scarf, and then quickly sent someone to get a hand stove. Zhang Shou still couldn't stand her as a hen protecting her chicks.
After busy work, he helped someone sit aside and then smiled and said: "Our home is suffering from earthworm fever early. When we enter the house, it feels like winter. Where can it be cold? The Imperial College and the Public School are called cold."
"In such a cold weather, it's hard for them to rack their brains to solve problems that they can't solve at all."
After hearing the first half of Zhang Shou's words, Mrs. Wu lamented that the weather was too cold, and felt a little pity for the students. But when she heard the second half of Zhang Shou's words, she couldn't help laughing, and then said angrily: "Ah Shou, you
This gloating about misfortune is a bit too much, how do you know they can't do it at all?"
"Mom, do you want to make a bet with me? This time I told King Jiangdu that the total score for the three questions is 300 points. I estimate that 90% of people will not even get 100 points."
As Zhang Shou spoke, he smiled and told the story of how he had bewitched King Jiangdu today and ranked all the people who participated in the assessment. Of course, he also explained it in an easy-to-understand way so that Wu could know his bad intentions.
"I won't bet with you!" Mrs. Wu was angry and funny, "Your method is really too hateful. It's just like stabbing a knife into people's hearts. Why bother?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? Taking an exam with thousands of people once a month is simply life-threatening! Even if I gave King Jiangdu an idea and temporarily found so many graders, if it happens just once in such a short period of time, then for
For those readers, the original honor will turn into a burden! When the time comes, won’t I, the instigator, be hated to death?”
Mrs. Wu has now become accustomed to Zhang Shou's idea, which is really invisible. At this time, she just said something angry and had no intention of intervening. Anyway, she didn't understand these disputes, so she could just leave them to Zhang Shou.
Of course, if Zhu Ying comes over tomorrow, she will definitely have to talk to people. In her opinion, as long as Zhu Ying can be a good wife of Zhang Shou, it will definitely be able to offset those who don’t know where they will come from.
She was talking openly and secretly. So, she chatted about the marriage next month instead, and by the way she didn't forget to mention Zhu Tingfang's marriage.
Only then did Zhang Shou remember that his eldest uncle was ruthless in regulating public security in the capital. His thunderbolt methods had shocked countless young people, and all the three religions and peoples were obeying him. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he was going to get married next month. But for people like Zhu Tingfang, at first glance
He is cold-hearted and doesn't take his children's personal relationships to heart.
But even so, he couldn't help but take his uncle's marriage to heart. He had to give the gifts that should be given. In addition, after he married Zhu Ying and went to Zhao Guogong's mansion again, he would have to give some gifts.
Prepare extra gifts. Although Zhu Tingfang does not seem to care about such false gifts, can he use this gift-giving thing to come up with other ideas? For example...
With this thought in her mind, after dinner, Mrs. Wu talked about which courtyard Zhu Ying had selected as her future new house. After measuring the room, people from Zhao Guogong's Mansion sent drawings to discuss how various furnishings should be arranged... Zhang Shou was straightforward.
Nodding, in the end he simply smiled and said: "The male is the outsider and the female is the inside. It's up to you, mother, to make the decision on these matters. At most, you can discuss it with Yingying, and you don't need to ask me."
"Yingying is a person who has been used to seeing the big world since she was a child. You are always careful and you always understand these things better than me!"
Mrs. Wu was speechless when she saw Zhang Shou running away after saying that. People who didn't know thought that Zhang Shou didn't care about the upcoming marriage at all, so he left it all to her. But look at how he often...
After making an appointment with Zhu Ying, the young couple couldn't stop talking and they knew that he didn't care about the marriage, but simply thought that all the details of the marriage were too troublesome!
Zhang Shou really finds it troublesome to get married. Not to mention the three matchmakers and six etiquettes that are indispensable in today's marriages. It really requires the whole family to be busy for a long time. Let's talk about the marriages in future generations, from wedding photos to wedding banquets to wedding rooms to secret moons... He
I also find it extremely troublesome.
So in later generations, he was said to be a golden bachelor at best, but he was destined to be an orphan at worst! Girls were so difficult to coax, but apart from eating and drinking, he hated shopping and giving gifts the most!
What Zhang Shou is most fortunate about now is that his future father-in-law's family has no shortage of talents. Whenever Wu needs it, he can ask for help at any time. He doesn't have to worry about it at all. He only needs to prepare for the wedding with Zhu Ying with peace of mind.
.
After sneaking out of the house, he casually called Ah Liu and directly assigned him a task that surprised her: "Yingying's eldest brother is getting married soon. Think carefully about what kind of gift you should give her later."
Seeing Ah Liu pointing at his nose blankly, indicating that he really wanted him to think about it, Zhang Shou smiled at the young man.
"Didn't you say that you are the housekeeper? Shouldn't you be helping mother to come up with ideas for this kind of thing? Don't just focus on my affairs, and don't spend all your time on fighting and killing. The outer city is now
It's Yingying's eldest brother's one-third of an acre of land. It's much easier to befriend him than to visit the various religions in other cities in person."
"Furthermore, if you think about it, Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu have long recognized the affair between Yingying and I. Yingying's father and eldest brother were very reluctant at one time, and now their attitude towards me is also very dull. Yingying's eldest brother is also
He is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He will definitely inherit the title of Duke of Zhao in the future and has a bright future. Even if I marry Yingying, what if he still finds fault with me?"
Knowing that Ah Liu had always supported his marriage to Zhu Ying with both hands and feet, and even listened to Zhu Ying's words, Zhang Shou followed the instructions and finally succeeded in making the young man change his mind slightly. Knowing that this was enough - after all, Ah Liu was this
Opening his face and trying to make him laugh or show anger was simply impossible - then he came up with his final intention.
"Of course, Mom is busy with my wedding recently, so I'm afraid she won't be able to spare much time. You can go around the various large and small shops in the city to see if there are any suitable gifts."
Ah Liu's already dull face suddenly became even duller. But what Zhang Shou said next made him even more numb: "Moreover, not only is it a wedding gift, but I also have to prepare a gift for Ying in the future.
A gift from her sister-in-law Ying."
"After all, she will also be my sister-in-law in the future."
"Why, you don't know what you think should be given as a gift? This is not easy. You can ask for help. Ask a girl to choose together, isn't it? Yingying, the people around her should know Yingying best.
Ying's eldest brother's people. If you think they are useless, you can also go to Zhao Guogong's Mansion and ask the wife to recommend you a safe one. If one of them doesn't work, just change it."
"With the ability of people who come from Duke Zhao's palace, there will always be someone who can help you... Why don't you just leave it to them? Why don't you ask? I am giving gifts to others, not others to me.
, how can you blame it all on the Zhu family?"
Ah Liu, who was originally not good at words, was finally tricked by Zhang Shou. How could he know that Zhang Shou had evil intentions?
He finally nodded in annoyance, agreeing to the difficult task assigned to him by Zhang Shou. After sending Zhang Shou back to his room to rest, he didn't care that it was a cold day and hurried out of the door immediately.
When Mrs. Tai learned that Ah Liu asked for an audience, it was already Haishi. She instinctively thought that something big had happened, but when she asked Mother Li to bring him to Qing'an Hall, she heard Ah Liu state his purpose in a straightforward manner.
Even though Mrs. Tai has lived for most of her life, she still can't help laughing. Zhang Shou, this boy, really looks like a handsome, elegant and relegated immortal, but in fact he is full of cleverness and cunning!
