Chapter 353: I Can't Keep a Low Profile If I Want to Be Low (Third Update)
Chapter 353
Naturally, the impact of the Kemari Contest is far from limited to this. And even the students who took the Guozi Jian Zhuxue began to practice juju in their playground.
In particular, the students of Taixue were the most enthusiastic, and even applied to Li Gefei, a student, to see if they could pick a time to hold a small competition in the college.
And the afterglow of the Keju competition has not yet dissipated, and everyone's eyes have begun to fall on another major event, that is, the triennial imperial examination is about to begin.
This year, there are more than 120 candidates who have passed the provincial examination, and because of the merger, more than 30 candidates have been added.
And Wang Yang, a talented old driver, can only squat honestly at home at the moment, well, in addition to reading books and practicing calligraphy, he also has to take time to see the construction of his yard.
Since the beginning of spring, Wang Yang has spent a lot of money to invest in the demolition and reconstruction of the house, because Wang Yang's design concept is naturally quite different from the ideas of the builders of this era.
For example, Wang Yang asked to build the toilet in the house, instead of finding a corner in the yard, and the house in the house is not divided into any side rooms or side rooms, but according to its use, it is divided into living room, bedroom, kitchen, toilet, and of course, bathroom and guest room.
Wang Yang's design is not a one-story building, but a two-story building, which naturally requires a lot of time and materials.
However, Wang Yang, the owner who spends money, is willing to do this, and of course those craftsmen are also happy to make money, and continue to build according to Wang Yang's rules.
"Now it seems that when the house is built, we will have to buy all kinds of living utensils, and I am afraid that we will have to wait until the autumn to move in......" Wang Yang looked at the busy craftsmen, looking at the two-story building that had risen from the ground, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Wang Yang abandoned the two-story building made of pure wood in the past, but decided to use the brick and wood structure to build the first floor, in addition, the way to penetrate the wall is a layer of bricks inside and outside, leaving a fist or so space in the middle, which is naturally to ensure that there is air in the middle, so as to play a role in the warmth or cooling of the hollow bricks in later generations.
Of course, in this era of lack of cement and steel, there is no way to use this method on the second floor, and the second floor is still a traditional pure wood structure.
However, what Wang Yang didn't expect was that the money spent on bricks in this era was actually more expensive than wood, which really made Mr. Wang speechless, it seems that the ancient people really didn't know the importance of environmental protection.
"It's okay, it's good to live there at Sister Yiyi's house anyway, but can the teacher's room live next to the master's bedroom at that time?" Master Li's sparkling eyes looked at the tall buildings that were still under construction.
"That's no problem, when the time comes, you will also have a big iron stove in your bedroom, so that you won't feel too cold to sleep in winter......
"In addition to the iron stove, the master has also prepared a secret weapon, and when the time comes, you will definitely not feel cold at night in winter, maybe you will have to call it hot." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows proudly at Master Li and said.
"Really? Besides an iron stove, what other good idea for heating you can't have? Liu Yiyi walked around, looked right, pointed, and didn't look like a person who came to have fun, but more like the master of the house.
"Of course I have, but I'll keep it secret for now, and you'll know when I get it out." Wang Yang smiled and didn't say much, that kind of heating thing was naturally the one he used to sleep in his hometown.
That is, the fire kang of later generations, in the era when there was no heating and the weather was cold and the dog froze to death, the fire kang was definitely a good equipment to help people fight the cold.
"What do you think?" Wang Yang turned his head and asked with a smile at Liu Yiyi.
"Well, it's pretty good, I didn't think that our Wang Dacai can not only compose lyrics, but also kick and bow, and even design houses, and it really deserves to be a great talent in my 50th year of the Great Song Dynasty." Liu Yiyi turned her head and smiled charmingly.
Wang Yang smiled and raised his sword eyebrows, with a look of course. "That's natural, with an all-rounder like me, let alone fifty years, even if it's a hundred years, it's rare to meet one."
"I really don't know who your surname is, but now you are also a famous talent in Bianliang, can you be a little low-key?" Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes cutely, very helpless.
"I also want to be low-key, but whoever made me go is the focus, and I can't be low-key if I want to......" Wang Yang smiled very subtlely and modestly, and Master Li next to him nodded vigorously, as if Wang Yang was telling the truth.
For this pair of master and servant, Miss Liu could only helplessly look at each other. "Okay, I'm too lazy to quarrel with your master and servant, the slave family still has to go to the building to work, brother Wang, don't just take care of this side, forget your business."
"Don't worry, do you want me to send you there?" Wang Yang walked to the gate with Liu Yiyi and asked.
"No need, brother of the Wang family, you are serious, your imperial examination has been full of twists and turns, and now it is not easy to seize the last chance, but don't make any more mistakes, the slave family will go by itself." Liu Yiyi shook her head, raised her hand, and brushed the hair next to Wang Yang's cheek, and then smiled away.
Seeing this charming and moving beauty drifting away, Wang Yang turned around and muttered a few words to Master Li, threw down the girl Master Li and stomped her feet in place, not knowing where to go out.
Almost an hour later, Wang Yang returned home with a smug face. "Master, why did you come here at this time, what time is it......" Seeing Wang Yang coming back, Master Li hurriedly jumped up and said with an unhappy face.
"Hehe, of course I'm going to do something, hurry up, close the door first, I'll show you a few good things......" Wang Yang sat down in front of the desk with a ghostly face, picked up the teapot, and poured several large sips, today really tired him out of the day.
"It's closed, master, what are you going to show to the master, hiss...... It's so beautiful! Master Li's bright eyes widened suddenly, and on top of the desk, there were three very beautiful gemstone rings inlaid with a small piece the size of a mung bean.
Master Li looked at the few things that Wang Yang placed in front of him, and immediately stretched out his hand to one of the pink gemstone rings, and after putting them on his fingers, he turned his white jade fingers beautifully. "It's beautiful, thank you host ......"
“…… Ah, you like it. Wang Yang watched with a bewildered look as Master Li took away the engagement ring he had carefully prepared, and his heart suddenly ran wildly like 10,000 grass and mud horses.
"Yes, yes, I like it so much, thank you, master, you are so good to me, I am so happy." Master Li looked at Wang Yang in front of him with a heart in his eyes, although the master was sometimes a little stunned, but he was always so handsome and handsome, and now he actually knew that giving gifts to others was too rare.
