Xuexue Zhuang picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said proudly: "Pour in the wine! I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"

The smile on Wang Zhong's face grew bigger and bigger, and he poured the wine with his hand without hesitation: "Today, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!"

"Dry!"

······

That night, before Xuexue Zhuang fell drunk, he ordered his book boy to inform Sheng Hong and the other disciples that they would have a day off tomorrow.

As for Zhuang Xuexue, he was already dizzy and helped by the book boy to go back to his room to rest. At least he would have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning before he could get up.

So, the next morning, among those who went out to hunt geese, there was another Changfeng.

Although Chang Feng can ride a horse, he only learned it to play polo. He doesn't know anything about riding and shooting. He is just joining in the fun.

What surprised Wang Zhong was that Qi Heng, the young prince of Qi State's palace, had much better archery skills than Chang Bai. Among the four, he was the only one besides Wang Zhong who had gained something.

Seeing Qi Heng pierce the wild goose through his chest with an arrow, Chang Feng's heart was filled with envy!

Qi Heng's bookboy, carrying the wild goose that Qi Heng shot, ran back with a smile on his face to tell Qi Heng the good news. Qi Heng looked at the three wild geese that Yu Chu was carrying in his hands, all of which had arrows in their wings.

It's flashing, I don't know what I'm thinking about.

"Yuanruo is good at archery!" Wang Zhong praised.

"It's still not as good as Zihou!" Qi Heng said with cupped hands.

"Young Master, don't be depressed!" Chang Feng next to him comforted him: "Zi Hou has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in bow and horse. Even Brother Gu is no match for him, let alone us!"

Qi Heng smiled and said nothing!

Wang Chong said loudly: "It's rare to see a flock of wild geese. Let's go hunt some pheasants and hares for a toothpaste ceremony!"

Changbai nodded slightly: "Very good!"

Chang Feng also said with a smile: "Okay! Just in time to try brother Zihou's craftsmanship!"

Qi Heng naturally had no objection.

Although shooting a rabbit is not easy, it is much simpler than a wild goose. Otherwise, after the arrow is launched into the air, it is affected by many factors such as air resistance, its own gravity, and wind. The changes are too great. It is much easier to shoot a rabbit on the ground.

Already.

Wang Zhong had extraordinary eyesight and superb archery skills. After a while, a fat gray rabbit was nailed to the ground by an arrow.

Not to be outdone, Qi Heng searched everywhere seriously and had good luck. Not long after, he also shot a rabbit, and his face looked a little better.

The four of them gathered at the edge of the woods. Khan Niu and Chang Feng's boy had already dug a small cave dwelling under the command of Yu Chuer.

By the river, Qi Heng watched Wang Zhong pull out his short knife and with skillful movements, he skinned and disemboweled the two rabbits in a matter of seconds, then marinated them and hung them in the newly dug earthen kiln for roasting.

After the fragrant roast rabbit meat was taken out of the kiln by Yu Chuer, in a moment, Wang Zhong cut it up with a sharp knife and distributed it equally to everyone. The wine and fruits he brought were considered as lunch.

However, one hunt completely refreshed Qi Heng's understanding of Wang Zhong.

In the past, in Qi Heng's eyes, Wang Zhong, the eighteen-year-old new top scholar and a famous scholar, must be a scholar who did not eat the fireworks of the world, had no ears to hear what was going on outside the window, and only focused on reading books by sages.

But today's trip completely overturned Qi Heng's understanding of Wang Zhong.

But precisely because of this, Qi Heng's interest in Wang Zhong was aroused.

Qi Heng has always strived to be the best no matter what he does since he was young. He studied calligraphy, and after seeing initial results, he went on to study painting, piano, and chess. Whatever interested him, he was willing to play

He studied kung fu and became famous in all of them. He was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was also very good at horseback riding and archery.

Those noble disciples in the city of Tokyo who came from the same background as Qi Heng either entered the official career through kindness or donated officials, but Qi Heng came from such a top family background as the Duke of Qi, and his father was a third-rank official in the court.

, is in charge of salt affairs. Although her official rank is not the highest, she holds real power in her hands. Her mother, Princess Pingning, is regarded as a biological daughter by the current officials and queens, and they love her very much. She is often called into the palace to speak.

.

With such a top-notch family background, if Qi Heng wanted to become an official, he didn't even need to ask his mother or Emperor Jiayou. His father only needed to hand over a letter, and most of the positions would be waiting for Qi Heng to choose.

But this Young Master Qi ignored the great shortcut and insisted on taking the imperial examination. He had already been selected as a scholar at a young age and his literary talent was very outstanding. This time Qiu Wei was about to end.

Perhaps it was because of his high birth that Qi Heng developed such a strong temper.

Knowing that Wang Zhong and Chang Bai were on good terms, Qi Heng would follow Chang Bai to the study room every time after class to discuss what Zhuang Xuexue taught during the day. Unfortunately, Wang Zhong still had to take care of the students in the Zhuang School and only went to see them occasionally.

Long cypress.

Even so, as time went by, they met more often, and Wang Zhong and Qi Heng gradually became familiar with them.

Although Wang Zhong is cautious in his words and deeds in the officialdom, when he is with his friends on weekdays, he is still quite casual and a bit free and uninhibited. It is this kind of character that makes people feel good when getting along with him.

, intuitive and relaxed, without feeling any pressure.

Moreover, Wang Zhong was knowledgeable and had unique insights. Many times, some of the problems that troubled Qi Heng and Chang Bai could be easily solved by Wang Zhong.

He was young and talented, well-versed in both civil and military affairs, famous all over the world, but had a free and easy-going temperament. Even Qi Heng couldn't help but admire him, and naturally he became more and more attentive.

The New Year is approaching. On this day, Wang Zhong prepared all the New Year gifts in advance and went to the Sheng family to pay New Year greetings.

Now that we have gone to the Sheng family, we can't help but meet Mrs. Sheng.

Unexpectedly, Shouantang didn't see Minglan. After asking, he found out that Xiao Changdong suddenly fell ill after a heavy snowfall the night before. Minglan was worried about his brother's health and stayed at the bedside.

He took care of her day and night, and then he himself fell ill.

"I've asked the imperial doctor to come to the house and take a look at it. After taking the medicine, it has improved a lot. The sixth lady and the seventh brother are sleeping in the back room right now!" The nun next to Old Mrs. Sheng explained to Wang Zhong.

"Let me go and take a look!" Wang Zhong said worriedly.

Old Mrs. Sheng knew that Wang Zhong had superb medical skills, so she told Aunt Fang: "Go and show Zihou the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhang!"

Aunt Fang immediately accepted the order and ordered people to get the prescription. She supported Old Mrs. Sheng and followed Wang Zhong into the back room.

Minglan and Changdong didn't sleep together originally, but after Changdong became ill, Minglan insisted on staying with Changdong to take care of her. Then Mrs. Sheng ordered someone to add a bed in the house to accommodate Minglan.

orchid.

The first thing Wang Zhong looked at was the younger Chang Dong. The little guy's face was a little less rosy than before, and his lips were slightly white. It seemed that he had been sleeping for a long time and had not taken the initiative to eat.

Cui Liu, the first-class female servant next to Chang Dong, received Mrs. Sheng's instructions and gently took Chang Dong's little hand out of the quilt and placed it on the pulse pillow.

After Wang Zhong checked his pulse, he checked Xiao Changdong's mouth, tongue and palate, touched his forehead and other places, and after reading the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhang, he nodded.

After confirming that it was not the flu, Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. If it was the flu, the first person in the Shou'an Hall to be infected would probably be Old Mrs. Sheng. After all, the old lady has been pampered all year round, and her health is not as good as that of the maids and women who work all year round.

"Brother Dong's condition is not serious. Dr. Zhang is very skilled in medicine and is very careful when using medicine. Just take the medicine according to the prescription!"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but sigh after reading the prescription. These ancient imperial doctors were still very capable. They used the medicine very cautiously and considered it very carefully. Changdong was too young, so he had to be even more careful when using medicine.

I looked at Minglan again and found that there was really no big problem.

Back in the main hall, Wang Zhong raised his hands to Old Mrs. Sheng and said: "Old lady, why don't you wait until the sixth sister gets better some other time and let her learn some physical fitness skills from me! I don't ask her to be right with others.

Fighting, just to strengthen the body and reduce the risk of illness!"

"This..." Old Mrs. Sheng hesitated for a moment. Although she was a little worried about the difference between men and women, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of Minglan and Changdong's illness: "It doesn't matter if it's like this, you guys will decide."

We’re having a kiss, but you still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to!”

Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's natural. After the sixth sister is well, I will come over a few times every few days and teach her some fist, foot and sword dance in the courtyard. If you are interested, I can also teach you Tai Chi."

and Baduanjin."

"Minglan and Changdong are still young, and they will have to rely on your protection in the future. You must take good care of your health!" Before the old lady could say anything, Wang Zhong went on to give the reason.

Old Mrs. Sheng was not an unreasonable person, but she just wanted to be taught by a junior, and she was somewhat embarrassed. Wang Zhong had already asked Chang Bai to teach the old lady Tai Chi and Baduanjin, but neither his grandfather nor his grandson had the shame to ask him for advice.

The grandson, one of whom was his grandmother, was somewhat reserved, so this delayed him.

But Old Mrs. Sheng also understood what Wang Zhong said. She was the backer of Minglan and Changdong in this family. If she fell, Minglan and Changdong's good life would probably come to an end.
