Chapter 427 At the end of August, say goodbye silently
A horse's week is a horse's week, but today's horse's week is no better than yesterday's horse's week.
He was dressed neatly, no longer the rags and rags he had seen last time, and his face was clean. Although he looked humble, he was no longer so submissive, but rather looked a bit powdery.
I'm afraid I've wasted a lot of money on this outfit.
"Oh? Are you two familiar with each other?"
Yu Shinan was a little surprised when he saw that the two of them knew each other, and then smiled lazily, "Since we are familiar with each other, things will be easy."
"Thing? What thing?" Bai Song asked, feeling that it was not a good thing.
As expected, when Ma Zhou came here, he brought up old matters again and said to Bai Song with a smile: "For no other reason than Brother Bai's future."
"Sir, what did he say to you?"
Yu Shinan smiled and said: "Mr. Ma is right. If you want to achieve success in the future, only Dong Palace in the world dares to use you. Mr. Ma said that the current prince respects your talent and wants to make friends with you. You should take advantage of it."
It’s an opportunity to get closer to the prince.”
"Who said that the prince intentionally made friends?" Bai Song retorted, pointing at Ma Zhou, "If this person said it, it cannot be taken seriously. How can a little companion know the prince if he can't even see the prince's face?
What do you mean? I met him last time. This person just wants to please both sides and make profits from it. Sir, please don’t believe his words easily."
"This is the time and the other is the same." Ma You argued, "Seeing Brother Bai today will definitely not be the same as last time. Now I accompany the prince every day and he is highly valued by the prince. As long as I, Ma Zhou, say a word, I will definitely recommend the prince to
In front of the prince."
Yu Shinan's face was full of smiles, and he was also quite polite to Ma Zhou. He said to Bai Song seriously: "Listen carefully, this Mr. Ma is a popular person around the prince. Although he is just a reading companion, he can accompany him day and night. He is not an ordinary minister.
Comparable. Even if you are an old man, there are many barriers to recommending candidates to the prince. It is rare that Mr. Ma intends to promote you, so don't let this opportunity go by."
This was the first time Bai Song saw his master speaking so seriously. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Ma Zhou had poured into the old man. Although this Ma Zhou was a person, that was a story for another time. Now he was a poor and poor family, even worse than he was a year ago.
, I can only be a servant! With this status, did you convince the master?
Bai Song is very satisfied with his current life!
When I first entered the capital, all kinds of things, various identities, and changes came and went. Finally, I was able to stay in the academy and hang out. I had a small goal of making a pistol. I slept with a woman every day and had a follower with me during the day.
There are still several enemies fighting.
This life is more comfortable than that of an immortal. Why go to the East Palace?
Bai Song felt very reluctant, but he couldn't refuse directly.
After thinking about it, I looked back at Ma Zhou and felt that there had indeed been some changes in this guy. Could it be possible that he would reach the sky in one fell swoop and become someone close to the prince?
But Bai Song didn't think it was like that. Only ten days had passed, and it was outrageous that Ma Zhou was so successful.
If it is true, Bai Songzhen has some doubts about whether he is the man with the halo of the protagonist? The speed of Ma Zhou's improvement is simply cheating!
But if it is not true, what is the reason for his extraordinary outfit? These clothes cost a lot of money, and they have to be calculated in terms of money.
When Bai Song thought of silver, he slapped his forehead and let out a sigh in his heart.
Good guy!
Didn't this guy use the money he sent to buy clothes?
Bai Song admitted that giving the money was a pretense, but he still valued Ma Zhou and left a way for the future.
Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou used the money given by Bai Song to trick Bai Song.
Could it be that this outfit deceived the master?
Bai Song was a little anxious and was busy trying to explain.
It felt wrong to open his mouth. If Ma Zhou invited him to drink tea and gave him twenty taels of silver when he finished, who would believe it?
Are you telling Master that this person is the future prime minister? So you are paying money to befriend him?
"Bai Song, why are you speechless?" Yu Shinan frowned slightly when he saw Bai Song's strange expression.
"Sir, I don't want to go to the East Palace."
Yu Shinan frowned and shook his head: "Mr. Ma has already said that you are too casual and need someone to give you some advice. Today, I saw that Mr. Ma really knows people. You are just too casual, and you can avoid certain things if you can.
If you can avoid it, avoid it. When you were young, how could you live worse than an old man like me? This matter will be of great benefit to you. The prince is young and we can get along well. If you can stay close by and accompany him, everything will fall into place in the future. This
I will either discuss this matter with you, or I will tell you that when Mr. Ma arranges the time, you will follow Mr. Ma to see the prince, and there must be no mistakes!"
"I..." Bai Song was speechless, with a grimace on his face. The master gave the order directly, and Bai Song had no choice.
Bai Song was extremely depressed, but Ma Zhou was quite proud. He raised his hand to Bai Song and said, "Brother Bai has the support and supervision of Mr. Yu. He has a bright future in the future! Ma has something to do today, so I will leave first."
"Mr. Ma, walk slowly." Yu Shinan was very polite and said to Bai Song, "Go and see Mr. Ma off."
Bai Song nodded angrily, walked in front, and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Ma, please."
Bai Song quickly sent Ma Zhou outside the academy. The other party held up his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Bai is waiting for the good news. I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
There was no one around, so Bai Song stared at Ma Zhou: "What kind of skill is it to deceive an old man?"
"Hey, Brother Bai is wrong. I am doing this for myself and for Brother Bai. How can Brother Bai's talent be so wasted? He should have a bigger stage to display his skills."
"Aren't you very capable? Then I will give you a chance. I heard that there will be a flower viewing party in Xiangjiazhuang outside the city on the first day of September. If you can arrange the time and place of the meeting there, I will follow
You want to see the prince, otherwise, even if you have arranged everything, I will not go. You can't use my husband to pressure me!"
Ma Zhou smiled confidently and said, "Okay! This is what you said. In that case, we will meet at Xiangjiazhuang outside the city on the first day of September."
…
Ma left on Monday and there was no news.
The next day, a farmer brought several carts of chrysanthemums, and they were all piled up to dry in the open air in the inner courtyard of the academy.
Bai Song's life returned to daily life. In addition to supplementing some of the Four Books and Five Classics that he had left behind every day, he also learned handicrafts from his teacher in class.
In my spare time, I go to the inner courtyard to look at the chrysanthemums, and I will look through them from time to time.
In the extra time, I continued to study the drawings of various parts of the pistol.
The structure of the gun is very simple, but it is difficult to build it with the craftsmanship of this era.
The craftsmanship he is learning now is only the basics, and it is only small things like carpentry. It is already very difficult to make a wooden pivoting motorized bird according to his teacher's instructions. 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 didn't know what they were. He took the drawings to the famous blacksmiths in the city and asked them if they could make it.
The result was that the parts were too small and difficult to produce.
After learning such a result, Bai Song was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. Anyway, he was just studying slowly. He couldn't rely on others, and one day he could do it on his own.
With the deepening of manual learning, I don’t know from which day, no human voice can be heard in the classroom, only the sound of knives, drills, and scissors knocking against the wood.
The students wanted to make different things, but they focused on thinking clearly.
Now everyone has gradually realized the significance of learning handicrafts. Now everyone is very focused. Once they are silent in making, they forget everything.
Today is the end of August.
Everyone has completed a decent wood carving work, whether it is complex or simple, and there is always something to gain. Everyone looks at their own works with some emotion. After all, before starting to learn, who would have thought that they have such a talent?
Today, everyone finally found the fun of calling it a day, but the man who claimed to be the descendant of Lu Ban did not appear again.
Today’s half-month course counts as a summary.
The separation came a bit suddenly. After learning the news, there was less laughter in the class and everyone was a little silent.
Bai Song made a mechanism bird. As long as the bird's butt is turned, the bird's beak will open and spit out an arrow.
Of course, small tricks often have shortcomings, and small arrows have little lethality.
The students were doing nothing in class, and the neighbors were calling to see other people's works.
"Hey, 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 machine bird.
The little girl played with it for a while and found it very novel: "It's so fun! Can you give it to me?"
"not good."
Bai Song refused and reached out to take it.
Yu Qingqing ran away quickly: "Stingy guy, what happened to me? At worst, you can make another one yourself!"
As he said that, he blinked his little eyes slyly and said, "How about I trade it for you with what I made?"
"You did this? What the hell?"
"It's a good thing! It's so fun! Here..."
The little girl took out her work like a treasure and placed it on Bai Song's table.
Bai Song blinked and frowned: "Why does this look like a wooden egg?"
"Who asked you to ask me to draw eggs every day? Now when I close my eyes, my mind is filled with eggs. Do you think the eggs I carved look like? Hehe..."
Bai Song looked at it and was speechless for a while. The egg carved by this man was really fake. Except for the different color of the shell, there was nothing wrong with it.
I guess if my husband did it, he wouldn't be able to make it so lifelike.
The little girl was a little proud. She was afraid that Bai Song wouldn't notice the ingenuity of the egg. She stretched out her hand and pressed it. The egg shook and then stood up again.
Hey...still a tumbler.
"How's it going? Mine isn't bad either, right?"
Bai Song has a black line on his head.
"That's not all!" Yu Qingqing quickly explained, "This egg can also be opened, there is something else inside!"
"What the hell?"
Bai Song had no interest at first, but was made curious by this man's strange idea, and looked at the wooden egg carefully again.
There is a small gap under the egg, which seems to be really unscrewable.
Bai Song tried to twist it and the egg opened.
I was still thinking about what kind of novelty it was.
I didn’t expect that there was still an egg inside the egg!
It's exactly the same as the outside one.
"Hehe..." Yu Qingqing laughed out a pair of small crescent moons, "Also, if you continue to open it inside, there will be a surprise!"
Bai Song took the egg on the inside and twisted it again.
There is an egg inside the egg.
Twist again...
besides!
"I'm fucked! Infinite nesting dolls are fucking me!"
"Hahahaha... Is it fun?" Yu Qingqing laughed so hard that tears came out, pointing to the thumb-sized egg model on the table, "Open it quickly, open it quickly!"
"What the hell! What era are you from? Where did you learn the infinite matryoshka dolls?"
“What are Infinity Matryoshka dolls?”
Bai Song looked at a table of wooden eggs of different sizes and waved his hands, not bothering to explain. It was a shame and humiliation to be treated like a monkey by Yu Qing today!
Bai Song lost his patience and wanted to go to the yard to get some fresh air.
Yu Qingqing was anxious and grabbed Bai Song's hand: "Hey, don't leave! We haven't finished driving yet!"
"If you want to drive me, I won't be able to tease you enough!"
"It's the last floor, just open it and take a look!"
"I won't drive, what's wrong?"
"oops!"
For some reason, Yu Qingqing lost her previous joy and became a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he quickly put the eggs on the table back one by one in order, and then stuffed them into Bai Song: "Anyway, I gave this to you, so you should keep it well and open it when you have time."
, there is really a surprise inside! I’m not lying to you.”
Bai Song looked at the egg and put it in his arms impatiently. Yu Qingqing walked away with the machine bird that was playing with Bai Song. Halfway through, she didn't forget to turn around and remind her: "You must watch it!"
Bai Song didn't pay attention and was about to go out when he saw Jia Ke hurrying into the classroom.
When they met Jia Ke, the students asked one after another: "Where did you go, sir?"
"It's just that there was no sound at all, why didn't you come?"
Jia Ke raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Sir, he has taught you what concentration and meditation are. He has completed the instructions given to him by Mr. Yu. In order not to affect everyone's learning, he has not explained it to everyone."
Although everyone had already suspected it, when they actually heard that their husband had really left, everyone still felt a little reluctant.
Bai Song also felt a little emotional. Thinking back, everyone here called him Mr., but he couldn't even remember his last name clearly.
Just because he is a craftsman and is at the bottom of society. Even if he is a gentleman, he is not confident and deliberately avoids his own name.
But he took every student's work extremely seriously, guided them step by step, and never relaxed for a moment.
Now that he has left, some students asked where they could find the gentleman.
Jia Ke said that everyone only needs to focus on their studies. When one gentleman leaves, another one will come.
Before introducing the new gentleman, Jia Ke called Bai Song.
"What's the matter?" Bai Song got up from his seat and asked.
"This is what sir has left for you."
Jia Ke said, walked up to Bai Song and placed a finely carved wooden pistol on the table.
Every classmate looked at it curiously, not knowing what it was.
When Bai Song saw this, his eyes became wet unconsciously.
[The author has something to say]
Dear book friends, I have been in a very bad state of mind recently due to my continuous late-night writing. I have decided to postpone it for two days. Today I will update a 4,000-word chapter, and tomorrow I will update two 3,000-word chapters. The day after tomorrow, I will resume updating three times a day until the debt is paid off. Some people say that the debt is owed.
The quantity is wrong, but it is definitely not indiscriminately deducted. However, since I have already said that it is wrong, I will not explain it. In addition, after two days of delay, I will start from the 7th update. Starting from the day after tomorrow, there will be at least three updates a week.
