Ma Zhou is Ma Zhou, but today's Ma Zhou is not better than yesterday's Ma Zhou.

The clothes are bright, no longer the rags and rags I saw last time, and the face is clean, although it looks humble, it is no longer so submissive, but there is a bit of a powdery feeling.

I'm afraid it cost a lot of money.

"Oh? You two know each other well? ”

Yu Shinan saw that the two of them met, and was a little surprised, and then smiled lazily, "Since it is familiar, then the matter is simple." ”

"Things? What's the matter? Bai Song asked, feeling that it was not a good thing.

Sure enough, when Ma Zhou came here, he brought up the old things again, and said to Bai Song with a smile: "Not for anything else, but only for Brother Bai's future." ”

"What did he tell you, sir?"

Yu Shinan said with a smile: "This Mr. Ma is right, if you want to have achievements in the future, if you want to have achievements in the future, only the East Palace will dare to use you today." Mr. Ma said that the prince respects your talent and intends to make friends, so you should take this opportunity to get closer to the prince. ”

"Who said the prince intended to make friends?" Bai Song retorted and pointed at Ma Zhou, "If this person said, it can't be true, a small companion, I can't even see the face of the prince, how can I know what the prince means?" I met him last time, this person just wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf, curry favor with both sides, and make profits from it, sir, don't believe his words. ”

"This time and that time." Ma Zhou defended, "Goodbye Brother Bai today will not be the same as last time, now I accompany the prince every day, and I am deeply valued by the prince, as long as I Ma Zhou says a word, I will definitely be able to recommend the prince to the prince." ”

Yu Shinan was full of smiles, and he was quite polite to this Ma Zhou, and said to Bai Song seriously: "Listen, this Mr. Ma is a celebrity next to the prince." Although it is only a companion reading, it can be accompanied day and night, which is not comparable to ordinary close ministers. Even if you are an old man, there are layers of barriers if you want to recommend candidates to the prince, it is rare that this Mr. Ma intends to promote you, you don't want to miss this opportunity. ”

It was the first time for Bai Song to see the master speak so seriously, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Ma Zhou poured into the old man, although this Ma Zhou is a character, but that is a later story, now he is a poor and poor family, even worse than he was a year ago, he can only be a guest! Such an identity still moved the master?

Bai Song is very satisfied with his current life!

When I first entered the capital, all kinds of things, all kinds of identities, changed back and forth, and finally I was able to stay in the academy and mingle safely, with a small goal of building a pistol, sleeping with a woman every day, a follower during the day, and a few opponents fighting.

This day is more comfortable than the life of the gods, what are you doing in the East Palace?

Bai Song was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, but it was not good to refuse directly.

After thinking about it, looking back at Ma Zhou, I feel that this product has indeed changed a little, is it possible to climb to the sky in one step and become a person next to the prince?

But how does Bai Song think that it is not like that, it has only been ten days, and this Ma Zhou is so soaring, which is too outrageous.

If it's true, Bai Song really has some doubts about whether he is a man with the halo of the protagonist? The speed of this horse week is simply open!

But if it's not true, what's going on with his extraordinary outfit? These garments cost a lot of money, and they have to be counted in silver.

Thinking of silver, Bai Song slapped his head and sighed in his heart.

Boy!

Isn't this the money you sent to spend on buying a business?

Bai Song admitted that he was suspected of pretending to be X for the silver at the beginning, but he also valued Ma Zhou and left a way for the future.

Unexpectedly, this Ma Zhou used the silver given by Bai Song to yin Bai Song.

Didn't you rely on this outfit to fool the master?

Bai Song was a little anxious and was busy explaining.

A mouth doesn't feel right, if Ma Zhou invited himself to drink tea, and he gave him twenty taels of silver after the end, who would believe it?

Do you tell Master that this man is the future Prime Minister? So give money to make friends?

"Bai Song, why are you speechless?" Yu Shinan frowned slightly when he saw Bai Song's strange expression.

"Sir, I don't really want to go to this East Palace."

Yu Shinan frowned and shook his head: "Mr. Ma has already said that you are too casual and need someone to mention it, but when I look at it today, it is indeed Mr. Ma who knows people." You are just too casual, some things can be hidden, you can avoid them, when you were young, how could you live worse than me as an old man? This matter will be of great benefit to you, the prince is young, and he is just getting along, if he can be close to him, everything will fall into place. The old man will either discuss this matter with you, or tell you that when Mr. Ma arranges the time, you will go with Mr. Ma to see the prince, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"I ......" Bai Song was speechless, with a bitter expression, the master ordered directly, and Bai Song had no choice.

Bai Song was extremely depressed, but Ma Zhou was quite proud, and arched his hand at Bai Song: "Brother Bai has the help of Old Yu, and he has a bright future!" Ma still has something to do today, so he will leave first. ”

"Mr. Ma walks slowly." Yu Shinan was very polite, and said to Bai Song, "Go and send Mr. Ma." ”

Bai Song nodded angrily, walked in front, and made a gesture of please: "Mr. Ma, please." ”

Bai Song quickly sent Ma Zhou outside the academy, and the other party smiled and said, "Brother Bai is waiting for good news, and he must arrange the time as soon as possible." ”

There was no one left and right, Bai Song stared at Ma Zhou: "What kind of ability is it to fool the old man?" ”

"Eh, Brother Bai's words are wrong, he is doing this for himself, and at the same time, for Brother Bai. With the talent of the white brother, how can he be so wasted? Zidang wants a bigger stage to show his strengths. ”

"Aren't you very capable? Then I'll give you a chance. I heard that there is a flower-viewing party in Xiangjiazhuang outside the city on the first day of the ninth lunar month, if you can arrange the time and place of the meeting there, I will go to see the prince as you wish, otherwise, even if you arrange everything, I will not go. You can't use my husband to press me! ”

Ma Zhou smiled confidently: "Okay! This is what you said, so let's make an appointment on the first day of September and come to see Xiangjiazhuang outside the city. ”

……

Ma went to the mall on Monday and was not heard from.

The next day, a farmer brought several carts of chrysanthemums, all of which were piled up in the open air in the inner courtyard of the academy to dry.

Bai Song's life returned to daily life, in addition to making up for some of the four books and five classics that he had left behind, he learned handicrafts with Mr. in class every day.

In my spare time, I went to the inner courtyard to see the chrysanthemums, and from time to time I would turn them over.

The extra time continued to study the drawings of various parts of the pistol.

The construction of the gun is simple, but it is difficult to build it with the craftsmanship of this era.

The handiwork he is learning now is only the basics, and it is only a small thing such as carpentry, and it is not easy to make a wooden hinge motorized bird according to the guidance of his husband, and it is impossible to make iron gun parts in a short time.

The gentleman was very curious, he had seen Bai Song's drawings, but he didn't know what they were, and he took the drawings and asked the famous blacksmiths in the city if they could build them.

As a result, the parts were said to be too small and difficult to manufacture.

Knowing such a result, Bai Song was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up, anyway, he just studied slowly, he couldn't rely on others, and he could do it one day on his own.

With the deepening of manual learning, I don't know what day onwards, no one can be heard in the class, only the sound of knives, drills, and scissors falling against wood.

The students have different things to make, but the focused mind is figured out.

Now everyone has gradually realized the meaning of learning handicraft, and now everyone is very focused, and once they are silent in the production, they forget everything.

Today at the end of August.

Everyone has completed a decent wood carving work, complex or simple, there is always a harvest, each looking at their own works are a little emotional, after all, before starting to learn, who would have thought that they still have this kind of talent?

Today, everyone has really found the joy of calling it a day, but the gentleman who claims to be the successor of Luban has not reappeared.

Half a month's course is counted as a summary today.

The separation came a little suddenly, and after learning the news, there was less laughter in the classroom, and everyone was a little silent.

Bai Song made a trap bird, as long as he turned the bird's buttocks, the bird's beak would open and spray an arrow.

Of course, small and small works have many shortcomings, and small arrows have no lethality.

The students have nothing to do in class, and the neighbors are exchanging and looking at other people's works.

"Now, what did you do?"

Yu Qingqing stood behind Bai Song with her little hands behind her back and asked curiously.

Bai Song handed over his trap bird.

The little girl played with it for a while, and thought it was very novel: "It's so fun! Would you like to give it to me? ”

"Not good."

Bai Song refused, and reached out to take it.

Yu Qingqing hurriedly ran away: "Stingy ghost, what's wrong with me?" It's a big deal to make another one yourself! ”

As he spoke, the little eyes blinked slyly, and then said, "Then how about I exchange it for you with what I made?" ”

"You did it? What the hell? ”

"It's good stuff! It's fun! ......"

The little girl took out her work as if offering a treasure and put it on Bai Song's table.

Bai Song blinked his eyes and frowned: "How is this like a wooden egg?" ”

"Who told you to make me draw eggs every day? Now when people close their eyes, their minds are full of eggs, do you think the eggs I carved out look like? Hey hey ......"

Bai Song looked at it and was speechless for a while, this person's wood carved eggs are really fake, except for the different colors of the shells, there is nothing wrong with them.

It is estimated that if Mr. does it, it will not be so lifelike.

The little girl was a little proud, for fear that Bai Song would not find the ingenuity of the egg, so she reached out and pressed it, the egg shook, and then stood up again.

Hey...... Still a tumbler.

"How? Mine isn't bad, is it? ”

Bai Song has a black line.

"And that's not all!" Yu Qingqing hurriedly explained, "This egg can still be opened, but there is something else inside!" ”

"What's that?"

Bai Song was not interested, but he was a little curious by this person's strange idea, and looked at the wooden egg seriously.

There is a small slit underneath the egg, as if it could really be unscrewed.

Bai Song tried to twist it, and the egg opened.

I'm still thinking about what kind of novelty it is.

I didn't expect that there were still eggs inside the eggs!

It's exactly the same as the outer floor.

"Hehe...... Yu Qingqing laughed at a pair of small crescents, "Also, you continue to open it inside, there is a surprise!" ”

Bai Song took the egg in the inner layer and twisted it again.

There is also an egg inside the egg.

Twist it again......

And also!

"Fuck me! Infinite nesting dolls me! ”

"Hahahaha...... Is it fun? Yu Qingqing laughed so much that tears came out, and pointed to the thumb-sized egg model on the table, "Open it, open it!" ”

"I'm a fart! What generation are you? Where did you learn the infinite nesting dolls? ”

"What is an infinite nesting doll?"

Bai Song looked at a table of wooden eggs of different sizes, waved his hand and didn't bother to explain, it was a great shame to be played by Yu Qing as a monkey today!

Bai Song ran out of patience and wanted to go to the yard to breathe.

Yu Qingqing was anxious, and pulled Bai Song's hand: "Eh, don't go!" It's not done yet! ”

"If you want to open it, I can't play me enough!"

"It's the last floor, you can open it and take a look!"

"I won't open it, what's wrong?"

"Oops!"

Somehow, Yu Qingqing lost her previous joy and became a little embarrassed.

Thinking about it, he quickly put the table of eggs back one by one in order, and then stuffed it to Bai Song: "Anyway, I gave you this thing, you can keep it well, and when you have time, open it and take a look, there are really surprises inside!" I kid you not. ”

Bai Song looked at the egg and put it in his arms impatiently, Yu Qingqing walked away from the bird that was playing with Bai Song, and didn't forget to look back and remind him halfway through: "You can definitely watch it!" ”

Bai Song didn't care, and was about to go out, but saw Jia Ke walking quickly into the classroom.

Seeing Jia Ke, the classmates asked, "Where has Mr. gone?" ”

"It's just, there's no sound at all, why don't you come?"

Jia Ke raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Mr. has taught you what concentration is and what meditation is, and the instructions given to him by Elder Yu have been completed, so as not to affect everyone's learning, I didn't explain it to you." ”

Although everyone had already guessed, after really hearing that Mr. was really gone, everyone was still a little reluctant in their hearts.

Bai Song also sighed a little, recalling that everyone here is called Mr. Ren, but he can't even remember what his surname is.

Just because he is a craftsman and is at the bottom of society, even if he is a gentleman, he is very unconfident and deliberately avoids his own reputation.

But he took every student's work very seriously, guided him hand in hand, and did not relax for a moment.

Now that the man was gone, some of the students asked where they could find the gentleman.

Jia Ke said that everyone only needs to focus on their studies, and when one gentleman leaves, another gentleman will come.

Before introducing the new gentleman, Jia Ke called Bai Song.

"What's the matter?" Bai Song got up from his seat and answered.

"This is what the gentleman left for you."

Jia Ke said, walked up to Bai Song, and placed a finely carved wooden pistol on the table.

Every student watched curiously, not knowing what it was.

And when Bai Song saw this, his eyes were a little wet unconsciously.
