Bai Jinqing was asked by Shao Xi like this, and her face immediately turned red. He and Miss Liu have just made a marriage, it is like glue, how can he leave his beauty behind and only get together with friends on this festive occasion?

Zheng Yuanxiu said funny at this time: "Jinqing is now a family person, unlike our group of bachelors, we need to be accompanied by beautiful women during the festival, I think we should not disturb others when we visit the Lantern Festival." ”

Hu Yushan said to Zheng Yuanxiu seriously: "Jinqing and I are best friends, and now that we are accompanied by beautiful women, we should be blessed, you kid don't want to be weird here." ”

Zheng Yuanxiu shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice: "I'm just joking, why are you still serious?" ”

Han Shaoguang raised his head, drank all the wine in the cup, put the wine glass on the table and said, "What's so troublesome?" When the lantern festival is called, Miss Liu is elegant, gentle, knowledgeable and reasonable, wouldn't it be better to go to the lantern festival with us? ”

Shao Xi thought this proposal was good, so he turned his head to look at Bai Jinqing.

Bai Jinqing slapped the folding fan into his hand.

"It's so decided, when the Shangyuan Lantern Festival comes, I will take Liu Ling out of my home and go to the Lantern Festival with us, and there will be more people and more lively."

Shao Xi thought of Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai at this time, so he asked, "Don't we need to accompany the two gentlemen to this Shangyuan Lantern Festival?" We must not lose our manners for the sake of having fun, and don't ruin the Yaxing of the two gentlemen. ”

Bai Jinqing smiled indifferently and said: "Brother Shao don't worry, now my grandfather and Mr. Liu lock themselves in the study every day to talk about the way to govern the world, and they don't care about anything else at all." ”

Shao Xi deeply admired the two masters in his heart, how many people in this world can really put the common people in their hearts, and think about helping the world and serving the people all their lives?

"It is too hard for the two gentlemen to write the transcription every day, and it seems that I have to prepare a great gift for the two gentlemen on the day of Shangyuan."

"Oh? I wonder if Brother Shao has any novel ideas? Those two kernels of yours last time really opened our eyes! ”

Speaking of this gift, several people really admired Shao Xi. can really give gifts that are precious but not expensive, Shao Xi can be said to be the first person in Egret Academy, the only existence.

Shao Xi looked at the eyes of several people in front of him, and smiled mysteriously: "Don't say, don't say!" It's not interesting to say it, but you'll know when the time comes. ”

Several people were disappointed when they heard this, this guy was like this last time, he didn't reveal anything beforehand, but he gave people a big surprise after that, but the waiting process was really unpleasant.

The matter of the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival has been agreed, so several people are interested again, chanting poems while drinking, which makes Lao Wu uncomfortable listening to it.

In the next few days, Bai Jinqing and the others lived in the Frost and Snow Building, not only drinking and composing poems, but also seeing that it was time for spring in two months, and several people were also actively preparing for the exam in the Xiyan Pavilion.

After all, there is only one spring in the past three years, and you must not be sloppy, otherwise you will have to wait for another three years.

Shao Xi didn't stay at home much in the past two days, and he didn't know what he was busy with when he ran out every day.

I heard Lao Wu say that he ran a lot of workshops and found a lot of craftsmen, as if he wanted to do something. But after asking twice, he always laughed and didn't talk.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Shangyuan, and tonight was the first full moon night of the year.

The protégés of Bailu Academy rushed to the academy early in the morning to greet Bai Dinggong, which is also the courtesy that students should fulfill to their masters.

Every year's Shangyuan Festival, the protégés of the academy will also give some gifts to the master to express their hearts, but most of the time Bai Dinggong will refuse, but the protégés are as persistent as ever, and the enthusiasm is no less than that of today's fans chasing stars, and even more so.

In the early morning of this day, Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan were neatly dressed early in the morning and were about to return to the academy.

"I didn't expect Brother Shao to get up earlier than a few of us, so he borrowed the carriage from the house and went to the academy together!"

Shao Xi smiled at Bai Jinqing and said, "The carriage is just outside the door, and the gifts for Mr. are ready, let's leave to return to the academy to surprise the two gentlemen!" ”

Several people followed Shao Xi out of the door, but saw two carriages parked at the door. Shao Xi let a few people get into the car in the back, and he got into the carriage in front alone, and he didn't know what was in the car.

The coachman raised his whip and shouted, and the two carriages rushed all the way south of the city to the White Egret Academy.

Shangyuan Festival is also a major festival of the year, so early in the morning, the streets are already full of people, the shouts of vendors everywhere are endless, and lanterns are hung in front of the doors of every house.

The carriage traveled all the way to the front of the academy, and several people jumped out of the car and looked up, only to see that the protégés in the academy had lined up again, just like the first day of the new year, so lively.

Bai Jinqing shook his head helplessly, not understanding why these people were so persistent. Knowing that his grandfather disliked giving gifts the most, these protégés still came to the door every year to give gifts.

He glanced back at Shao Xi, only to see Shao Xi leaning on the carriage with his hands on his shoulders, looking at the protégés in the court, with a mysterious smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to go in.

So several people stood by the carriage outside the door, waiting for the crowd of gift-givers to disperse.

With such a large group of people, half a morning has passed in a commotion, and watching the protégés with disappointed faces walk out of the academy, they know that Bai Dinggong has confiscated everything.

When the crowd was almost gone, Shao Xi raised his hand and knocked on the carriage, only to see several people dressed as craftsmen jumping out of the carriage he was sitting in before, not only carrying wooden boxes, but also carrying two large wooden boxes from the carriage.

Bai Jinqing and the others were dumbfounded, this is not only a gift, but also carried in a large wooden box, last time I used a small wooden box to send two fruit cores, this time with two such a big wooden box, do you want to send fruit?

When everyone carried the two large wooden boxes into the academy, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai, who were talking in the courtyard, were dumbfounded.

Seeing their posture, Du Wenqi hurriedly ran over and scolded, "What are you doing here? Knowing that the Master would not accept gifts, you still carried such two large boxes of gifts with great fanfare, are you sincerely humiliating the Master? ”

Shao Xi saw that Du Wenqi was bent on provoking again, and he also replied unceremoniously: "Can you not think that you are humiliating the master whenever others do something, do you only think about how to humiliate the master in your heart all day long?" ”

Du Wenqi also said uncompromisingly: "You know that the master doesn't like gifts from others, but now you are making such a big fanfare, what will you think when you are seen by others?" Aren't you dishonoring the Master? It is simply a deliberate attempt to ruin the reputation of the Master. ”

Shao Xi has never been polite in the face of this kind of villain, and immediately sneered at each other: "There were so many protégés lining up to give gifts before, and I didn't see you so excited." Now I have come with a treasure that can help the master spread the knowledge of governing the world, but you are obstructing it, what is your intention? If you can't help the Master spread the knowledge of governing the world, I want to help the Master spread the teachings all over the world, but you have been framed and criticized many times, who is ruining the Master's reputation? ”

Du Wenqi said with a disdainful face: "Hmph! Don't think that if you are a petty official of the fourth grade, you can run rampant in the academy, and the senior officials of the third rank or above who come to this academy to ask the master for advice are also like carp crossing the river, what ability do you have to say that you can help the master spread knowledge all over the world? ”

Shao Xi was really by people like Du Wenqi, he saw a lot of officials, and felt that the four officials were small, but he didn't know what kind of grade he was?

"What does my official have to do with you? How many rank are you yourself? Do you know what likes to look down on people? In this academy, my mentor Bai Fuzi is not as arrogant as you, where do you get your confidence? I'm happy to call you Senior Brother, I'm not happy that you are nothing in front of me, you don't have the ability to help the master spread knowledge, so you think everyone is like you? ”

As soon as Du Wenqi heard Shao Xi scolding him for looking down on people, and said that he was a pus, he immediately exploded.

"As a protégé of the White Egret Academy, you are so rude to this prison with wild words and insults?"

"It's just a courtesy! If you treat me with courtesy, I will return the favor with courtesy. Call me rude? Why don't you say that you were rude in the first place? As the superintendent of the college, you should be a teacher and set an example, what you say and do now is worthy of your status as a superintendent? ”

Du Wenqi was already trembling with anger at this time, and was about to have another attack, but was stopped by Bai Dinggong who came forward.

"Wen Qi, although you are a prison officer, you should ask everything clearly, Shao Xi and they brought two boxes in, and it is inappropriate for you to scold them before you ask the purpose. Shao Xi is my personal protégé, I naturally believe in his talent and character, but now you say him so pickledly, but why are you dissatisfied with me? ”

Although Bai Dinggong's words were said in a calm tone, the meaning of his words was very harsh, which was tantamount to reprimanding Du Wenqi in person, and it could be seen that Bai Dinggong was extremely dissatisfied with Du Wenqi's words and deeds just now.

When Du Wenqi heard this, he knew that Bai Dinggong was already angry, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed, and stepped aside silently, but his eyes when he looked at Shao Xi were still full of hatred, and Shao Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time, Liu Xingzhai also stepped forward and asked Shao Xi with a smile: "You just said that you brought a treasure that can help us spread our knowledge to the world, but don't just talk about it, you young people can often bring surprises, but I don't know what kind of surprise it will be today?" ”

Shao Xi bowed to the two masters.

"Two gentlemen, the gift given by the students today is unprecedented, which can not only help the two gentlemen spread knowledge, but also help everyone in the world to have the opportunity to read and write, and to know reason and morality. This ritual is a technique, which can be said to be a blessing for all scholars in the world. ”

When Shao Xi said this, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai immediately became interested, and couldn't help but ask in unison: "What kind of technology?" ”

Shao Xi glanced at the people around him and smiled mysteriously.

"Have you ever heard of movable type printing?"
