Chapter 854
Huo Zhao learned to play the hammer-shaped pill from Chen Zongwen.
Huo Zhao wasn't good at studying, but she was an expert at making marbles, often making Chen Zongwen jump up and down, until finally he stopped playing with her altogether.
Speaking of which, Huo Zhao hadn't played for a long time and was eager to give it a try.
Seeing her excited expression, Shen Rang said, "I'll teach you slowly in a bit. Can you learn it?"
Huo Zhao raised an eyebrow: "You'll teach me?"
"how?"
Huo Zhao shook his head: "With you as my teacher, I'm sure I can learn very well."
Shen Rang smiled without saying a word, only raising his hand to gently stroke her neck.
Soon, a servant brought over a polo mallet, which Shen Rang took and gave one to Huo Zhao.
Then, Shen Rang began to explain to Huo Zhao how to play Chuiwan.
But Huo Zhao stood to the side, one hand on his golf club, looking rather unsteady, and it was unclear whether he had taken Shen Rang's words to heart.
The rules of Chuiwan are not difficult. To put it simply, you use a club to hit the ball into the hole, and the player with the fewest hits wins.
However, the playing surface for Chuiwan is usually decorated with many bumps and obstacles, so it is not so easy to hit the ball into the hole.
Shen Rang gave a brief explanation, then turned to see Huo Zhao's nonchalant demeanor and raised an eyebrow: "Did you understand?"
Huo Zhao nodded: "Understood."
"Then let's go."
Shen Rang hit the ball first, but perhaps he hadn't played in a long time, and the ball wobbled along the arc, going much off course.
Huo Zhao wasn't much better off.
The two seasoned fighters, who hadn't sparred in a long time, exchanged a glance and then looked away in tacit agreement.
However, both of them were experienced and got used to each other after a few rounds. The couple then got into a heated argument and started fighting fiercely.
Many people, seeing how lively their fight was, gathered around and cheered.
But in the end, Huo Zhao won by a single point.
Watching the ball fall into the hole, Huo Zhao burst out laughing: "Scholar Shen, how was that?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her who were egging her on immediately started to chime in—
"I thought Young Master Shen was already quite capable, but I didn't expect Young Madam to be even more impressive! She's amazing!"
"Isn't this what they call 'one thing subdues another'? It has to be the young mistress!"
Hearing the overwhelming praise for Huo Zhao around him, Shen Rang smiled helplessly and said, "I, Shen, concede defeat."
It's not easy for Shen Rang to say those words.
Everyone laughed and chatted for a while before dispersing.
Shen Rang and Huo Zhao played several more rounds, but Shen Rang failed to win a single one.
Seeing that he was all listless, Huo Zhao took pity on him and dragged him to find Huo Shu and Chen Qiang.
Seeing that the couple had left perfectly fine, but now their emotions had changed so drastically, Chen Qiang couldn't help but wonder, "What happened?"
Huo Zhao sat down next to Chen Qiang, glanced at Chen Rang, and said, "Someone taught his apprentice so well that the master starved to death."
Huo Shudao: "Did I play Chuiwan with you?"
Shen Rang then looked up: "How did you know?"
Huo Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "According to what Dad said, Zhao Zhao was very good at hitting the hammer when she was a child, and she even beat Dad into submission."
Shen Rang suddenly felt much better.
If even Chen Zongwen was like this, then it's not surprising that I was beaten like this.
Shen Rang immediately felt relieved, and even his complexion improved.
Huo Zhao glanced at him but didn't say anything.
——
Not far away, Qi Jing sat with Zheng Shi. Seeing the four people inseparable, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She didn't come here today just for fun.
