Chapter 9: Having a Girl Come to Joy (Part 1)

Summer goes and autumn comes, and winter is coming in a blink of an eye. Zhao Xin has been studying with Wang Xu in the past few months, and during the day, he practices bow and horse volleys with him during his spare time. The rest of the time is in the house watching Professor Wang Xu and his military tactics. He rarely goes out to cause trouble like before.

Only because he often went out in the middle of the night and returned in the early morning, he had to be careful not to be discovered by his family. Zhao Xin's energy was inevitably a little exhausted. At first, he often dozed off while riding a horse during the day, and was woken up by Xinqi with a whip. Zhao Xin was also stubborn. Even though his body was covered in purple, he refused to complain, but just gritted his teeth and continued to practice. Xinqi was born in a Hu man and respected the most bloody person in his life. Seeing that Zhao Xin's fair family was so capable of enduring hardships, he looked at him with some admiration, so he put away his contempt and taught him his horse and archery with his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Xin's face was blue and purple, Wang Xu asked why, and he had worked hard to come up with a set of methods of breathing and told him to maintain this posture every day when he was sleeping in bed. At first, Zhao Xin was a little uncomfortable, but he still held back and persevered. Unexpectedly, after a few days, he felt refreshed and his tiredness during the day was wiped out. After persisting for several months, his gait was lighter and his body was much stronger than usual.

After Zhao He was promoted to the Inner Historian, his official duties became increasingly busy. He often didn't have time to eat at home and disciplined Zhao Xin much less. Seeing that his son suddenly changed his nature, he sat in the study room to read books when he had time, and no longer went out to mess with a group of friends. He didn't have time to think about it, but he was happy in his heart, and even less scolding him.

Only the only one who didn't relax his mind was Li. She has been busy planning her son's lifelong affairs in the past few months. First, she had a good relationship with Ranbian's wife, and then the two families often walked around and took the opportunity to observe her little daughter. Seeing that Ranbian's little daughter was young, she was well-educated, elegant and generous, and had a very beautiful appearance. She was secretly satisfied. She asked her daughter's birthday and horoscope indirectly, which made people test that Zhao Xin's birthday and horoscope were exactly the same, and she was even more happy.

At this moment, he agreed with Mrs. Ran and conveyed this meaning to Ran Bian. Ran Bian also had a crush on Zhao He, the newly appointed inner-histor, and was very interested. The two families agreed to let Zhao Xin go to Ran Bian and his wife first to see him before proposing marriage.

Li went to mention this matter with joy, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xin shook his head like a rattle and said nothing he refused to agree. Li tried to persuade him, but when he saw that Zhao Xin refused to agree, he immediately raised his eyebrows and picked up the ruler and beat him. Zhao Xin was beaten up by Li and screamed, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to dodge and beg for mercy. In the end, he was forced to force him to agree with aggrieved look.

....

The wheels of the carriage rolled on the bluestone slabs on the street, and the noises between the markets on both sides of the street were endless, and the shouts of vendors were clamoring and hawking, which seemed very lively.

The carriage slowly turned around at a turn, Gao Ming on the frame shrank his head and shouted to the curtain; "Young Master, the Ran Mansion is coming soon, are you going to prepare."

"I understand." A weak sentence came from the carriage.

Seeing that the young master who was usually alive was like a nasty vegetable, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile, his face full of gloating, waved his whip, and urged him to move forward.

In the carriage, Zhao Xin grabbed his head in annoyed manner, looking like he was about to go wild. When he thought of marrying a twelve-year-old girl, he felt uncomfortable. He was still ignorant of men and women at this age, and only felt that suddenly a little girl came to be his wife would definitely disrupt his free life. Naturally, he felt a hundred reluctant in his heart.

So Li said that he would get married and his first reaction was his instinctive resistance. Besides, he had never seen the girl before, and he didn't know how tall, short, fat and thin it was, so he wanted to become his wife for no reason. It was really ridiculous in the world.

Zhao Xin is a man born with a bone-to-mouthed personality and highly advocates freedom, so he is not willing to accept such things. So he started to think about what to do in a while to let Ran Bian and his wife give up the idea of ​​betrothing his daughter to him, so that he could get back to his mother and say that Ran Bian and his wife looked down on him.

He reached out to mess up his neat bun, thought about it and wrinkled his new clothes, grinned and made a few expressions, thinking about what he could say for a while to get Ran Bian and his wife to drive him out of the door.

Ran’s mansion is located in the north of Handan, with a high-walled house, which looks much more grand than Zhao Xin’s family.

It is no wonder that although Ran Xin is just a county magistrate, his subordinates are the royal city and the most prosperous city in Zhao State. Therefore, although his rank is not high, his power is extremely heavy. In comparison, Zhao Xin, a poor family member, seems much shabby.

Zhao Xin obeyed Li's orders in a normal manner and presented famous sects and gifts according to the rules of visiting the door. The old housekeeper of the Ran Mansion said with a look of apology that a very qualified person had accidentally visited the mansion. Ran Bian and his wife were receiving him and were not from a family background. He asked Mr. Zhao to wait in the side hall.

Zhao Xin was happy. He thought that it would be best if he couldn't get a family. He could go back to work with the job. He smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, I'll wait."

Zhao Xin was led by the butler to the side hall, and a maid presented fragrant tea. The butler was busy entertaining guests, so he claimed the crime to Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin drank a stomach of tea and waited patiently for a long time, but still no longer saw Ran Bian and his wife coming. He gradually became impatient. He stood up and walked dozens of steps, looked up at the sky, thinking that when he went back now, his mother would definitely not spare him, and he would have to wait a little longer.

I couldn't sit still in the hall anymore, so Zhao Xin walked out. The maid who was serving Zhao Xin was about to go out, hurriedly stopped Zhao Xin in a panic and said, "Young Master Zhao, where are you going?"

Zhao Xin said angrily, "I'm so suffocating here. I'll go to the yard for some breathing. Isn't that okay?"

The maid looked embarrassed and hesitated, "The inner house of our Ran Mansion is separated by this courtyard, where the wife and the lady live. You, Mr. Zhao, are you a man... I'm afraid you are not very convenient to walk."
