Under the ginkgo tree, the sound of reading aloud, the young man in white stood fluttering. The warm sun and wind blow off a few ginkgo biloba leaves, and they fall slowly. The little scholars studied very hard, and they went to the school early in rain or shine. Although they are some naughty and naughty ghosts on weekdays, under Bai Xuan's teaching, they are polite, bow and follow etiquette, and gradually look like a scholar. Although Mr. never reprimanded them, the young Bai Xuan in the eyes of the child has a bit of momentum without anger, and no one dares to be lazy in class, and he speaks softly.

Of course, there are also a few bold children, who want to get acquainted when they see that Mr. is good-looking, such as a dog baby. He approached Bai Xuan one day, "Sir, I can't write a word?" ”

"What word?"

"Mandarin Fish."

"That's a lot of paintings."

"Sir, why don't you teach Sister Xiaoqing. She learned how to write signs. My sister said that she wanted to make mandarin fish into wonton filling, and that everyone on the street would eat mandarin fish wontons. ”

"It's a good idea." Bai Xuan nodded and smiled, Shen Zhiqing didn't hear it right, why did this little ghost sell her. The dog baby called Xiaoqing over, "Sister, Mr. promised to teach you." ”

"No, no." Zhiqing turned her face away, "Whoever likes to write signboards will write it." ”

"It seems that my teaching is too inadequate, and the students are resisting." Bai Xuan muttered loudly. Suddenly, in order to please Mr., the little ghosts pushed Shen Zhiqing over one after another, "Sister, why aren't you motivated, there is a gentleman to teach you, and you are still willing to be happy." "Sister, learning a little more is a little, Mr. said, learning is endless." "Sister, I still have a lot of signboards for you to write."

Zhiqing: "......" thought to herself, how can these cubs talk about one set now. Reluctantly sat down and picked up the pen. Bai Xuan wrapped her arms behind her, put her hands on the brush, and taught her to write stroke by stroke. Bai Xuan looked at the hairpin on her head, smiled, leaned down close to her ear, and whispered: "The pen is hooked here." He grabbed the tip of the pen, took her hand, and hooked it hard. It was the first time to be so close and close, Shen Zhiqing could even feel Bai Xuan's breathing, smell the fragrance wafting from his body, and the flush leaked from his face to the root of his ears. Zhiqing didn't know that there were so many strokes of this "mandarin fish", in front of everyone's eyes, being taught by hand, it was awkward and shy, but the bottom of his heart was like pouring into the warm sun, and it was extremely ironing.

The dog baby propped her head with her hands and watched Zhiqing write on the side, not paying attention to the changes on her face at all. Zhiqing only felt that a long time had passed before she wrote this word. As soon as she finished writing, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and put down her pen. "Hey, sister, why are you so red?" Only then did the dog baby notice Zhiqing's face. Zhiqing looked at the dog baby with an eye knife, and she almost got into the cracks. "Did you learn?" Bai Xuan looked at her sideways.

"Got it." Zhiqing hurriedly pulled out without even looking at a word. A group of children read the words carefully, "There are so many strokes, and the writing is not bad." The dog baby quickly made the first move and snatched the paper and stuffed it into the schoolbag. got cheap, he began to "betray" Zhiqing again, "Sir, my sister is smart, you are good at writing, when it comes to catching fish and snails, she may not be as good as her." ”

Zhiqing almost knocked a mouthful of old blood directly to the ground, and really turned his elbows outward. She slashed the dog baby with her eyes, and couldn't wait to drag it over and throw it out of the door.

"Or else." Bai Xuan also learned from the appearance of the dog baby, and smiled whimsily, "Let's make a deal, I'll teach you to read and write, you take me to catch fish, and the fish caught will be used as tuition." ”

"yes." There was a lot of excitement all around.

"It's a shame to think of it, exchange fish for tuition, you belong to a cat." Shen Zhiqing muttered beside him.

"My cat doesn't steal." She saw a glance floating from Bai Xuan next to her, and she didn't dare to answer it.

"Sister, why do you keep fighting against Mr.?" The dog baby was not convinced, and felt that the usually well-behaved Xiaoqing sister, why did she suddenly spoil them.

"Alright, you little bunnies." Zhiqing couldn't wait for a mouthful of old blood again, and pointed at them, "Go back and clean up after you." Roll up your sleeves while talking, you have to clean up the scene, and you want to pat the dog's little brain with a shake of your hand, but you don't want the dog to slip away. Zhiqing pounced, the dog baby giggled behind the tree, and suddenly a group of children coaxed, and the scene was like an "eagle catching a chicken". Lan Xi sneered and laughed, thinking to himself, this villa has not been so lively for a long time, and the complexion on the child's face is much better than before.

Day after day, in early summer, Jiangnan is a rich piece of emerald green, and the heat brought by the southeast wind makes people more and more lazy. In the eyes of the students, this gentleman is well-versed in the past and the present, but not rigid, and the four books and five classics taught in the private school are not the same, they know the vast world outside China, know the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, and there are new schools that are more advanced than the private school, they know that there is a kind of school called the university, the land under their feet is called the earth, there is something more powerful than horses and cattle in this world called the steam engine, and the children of ordinary people can enter the government-run school, and the government appoints them on the basis of merit, and there is no need to raise the imperial examination.

Beiyuan was afraid that the children would not be able to keep up their spirits in class, so Bai Xuan arranged for the children to take a nap at noon. It's just that idle children will tell stories around Lanxi, and Lanxi will often prepare some snacks and fresh fruits. As a result, noon became the happiest time in the school. And Bai Xuan was just reading quietly in the hall, Shen Zhiqing thought at first that he was just a gentleman with chivalrous courage, but now he found that he was more and more gentlemanly, especially in the hustle and bustle of children, he was as calm as water. What she didn't know was that Bai Xuan was only in this small world, and she felt that she could empty her heart, let the child's voice flow through her heart, and still quietly immerse herself in the words, which was so rare for him to be leisurely and comfortable.

"Here are two rabbit pens, which are very suitable for you to practice calligraphy." Bai Xuan handed a delicate wooden box to Zhiqing and motioned for Zhiqing to open it. She saw the two brushes in the wooden box, picked them up and shook them, delicate and light. She didn't understand the workmanship of the brush, but she thought it was quite exquisite.

"I did it." Bai Xuan looked at the right grip in her hand, and admired it with satisfied eyes. "Sir, what do you mean by giving me something again?" Zhiqing was happy in her heart, but unconsciously she didn't say the word thank you, but said this sentence, and she regretted it just now.

"Look at your brushes, they're almost bald, I really can't stand it." Bai Xuan dropped this sentence and turned to Lan Xi with a look, "Let you see someone again." ”

Lan Xi walked into the inner room and immediately took out a child. The child was dressed very plainly, but very neatly, looked up at Bai Xuan, and then at Shen Zhiqing, standing a little restrained.

Zhiqing looked at the child back and forth for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "This is the child who hit me at the market last time?" She looked at the child in surprise, and then at Bai Xuan.

"Exactly." Bai Xuan called the child over and touched the child's head, "You come and tell my sister." ”

The child lowered his head, a little afraid to look at Shen Zhiqing, "Sister, my name is Zhou Xiaoming, I live in Hedong Street, my mother died when I was very young, and my father either gambles or drinks all day long." Sister, I didn't mean to cheat you, but if I didn't take the silver twice, my father would punish me again. If he drank too much one day, he would beat me up. I can't help it, so I rely on petty theft and abduction to get some money for my dad every day. Sister, I know you have a kind heart, and I have always felt guilty after I lied to you last time. Later, my eldest brother came to me, and not only did he not blame me, but also bought me new clothes to wear, bought me something to eat, and he also taught me to read and write. ”

That little thing, in fact, Zhiqing didn't feel very relieved, but she didn't expect Bai Xuan to go to find the child, and did so many things without her. She looked at Bai Xuan in some surprise again, and was just when Bai Xuan threw a smiling look at her. She immediately turned to the child, "Then you still live with your father?" She fears that the child's father will no longer be bad for him.

"My eldest brother asked me to go to a pawnshop as an apprentice, and now I not only have a place to live, but also to support myself. Sister, please rest assured, the eldest brother taught me the principles of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and when I grow up, I will know the kindness and retribution. ”

In a short period of time, this child spoke like two people, and she couldn't help admiring Bai Xuan's intentions. Relieved, she squatted down and straightened the child's clothes, "I'm relieved to see that you're doing well now." You've grown up. My sister doesn't want you to repay the favor, you just need to be safe and happy. Xiao Ming nodded vigorously.

"Only the benevolent can be a good person, and a wicked person can be evil." Bai Xuan looked at Xiao Ming, "Not everyone can only distinguish between love and hate, when you grow up, you must know benevolence and righteousness, know right from wrong, and be good at thinking before you can make a difference." ”

"Xiao Ming takes it to heart." Zhou Xiaoming solemnly bowed to Bai Xuan and retired.

"You can rest assured now, I'm not a liar, and I'm not a human tooth or anything like that, right?" Bai Xuan looked at Shen Zhiqing and pursed her lips.

Zhiqing was a little embarrassed, and her expression froze, "You still remember this account." I didn't hold a grudge against you. ”

"Alas, I've been teaching you for so long, it's really hard to teach." Bai Xuan had no choice but to sigh, turned around and walked back to stare at her, staring at Shen Zhiqing back, and her ears suddenly became a little hot, "Why are you so kind to others, why do you have prejudices against me, anyway, I am still half of your teacher." ”

"I ......" Shen Zhiqing was a little speechless by his "forced question", and his eyes stared for a long time and squeezed out a few words, "Sir, you are very good." ”

Bai Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud at this sentence, "There is a river behind the garden, and in the future, you will take the children to catch fish every day, which can be regarded as a reward." ”

"What? Now the water is still cold, isn't it, catch it every day? Zhiqing was stunned and shouted loudly, and when she reacted, Bai Xuan had already run away.
