The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 17
Meng Tong in the school below was noisy, but under Xu Xiucai's stern gaze, there was no sound.

"Listen to the superintendent's words, you will follow the adults to build the castle together later, and you can help with whatever you can!"

"Whoever has a spoiled temper, don't blame the teacher for not showing affection..."

Xu Xiucai reprimanded all the children.

Hearing this, Lu Zilin also somewhat understood why Xu Xiucai secretly asked him to come to be this villain, and it was nothing more than to educate the ignorant children in the school.

Lu Zilin pondered for a while, "Later, when the adults are building the castle, you will bring them meals."

these easier tasks.

In the past, women and children also came to do it, but it was not the Mongolian children in the school, but the children who had never gone to school.

Building the bunker was the responsibility of the entire Bailu Village.

In the open space near the village, three new loess stoves were built.

There is a cook in the village who is good at cooking, and he is cooking skillfully. One pot is stewed, one pot is under, and the other pot is steamed.

Ever since Old Master Lu prospered as a chef in Bailu Village, the younger generations of Bailu Village have followed suit, and there have been quite a few diners coming out of the village.

The so-called Shaoshao guest refers to the chef hired by the host family during weddings and weddings. The taste of cooking may not be comparable to that of restaurants, but the price is cheap and the cooking is above the standard.

"I think the superintendent is targeting us both."

"Because I'm from a neighboring village who deliberately targeted me... and gave me the most tiring work."

After Zhou Yuan finished moving a pile of hardwood, he was a little out of breath and out of breath. He moved to Bai Gui's side and complained in a low voice.Because the two of them are the oldest and half a child, they assigned the most tiring work, helping to collect firewood for every household in the village.

Before winter comes, every household has spare firewood for winter convenience.

Stacks of firewood are piled at the corners of the eaves and corridors of each household.

"What nonsense?"

"Proctor Lu is not that kind of person!"

Although Bai Gui agreed with what Zhou Yuan said in his heart, he still didn't take up the matter. If others knew about it, it would be a troublesome matter. Zhou Yuan's family had money, so he couldn't afford to choose another place to study.

"Do you know Li Zhongtang? He said that now is a major change unseen in 3000 years, and the barbarians have brought disaster to China. It is the time for a good man like you and me to use martial arts. This time is different from the prosperity of the previous dynasty. Exercise well. It is of great use!"

Bai Gui thought for a while, then turned around and advised.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, like the King of Chu Zhuang who is a blockbuster, it is not very successful. The King of Chu Zhuang is a prince and has a natural leadership over the Chu Kingdom. It is best to show your edge slowly like Mao Sui. , is the best policy.

"Li Zhongtang? Li Hongzhang, where did you hear this sentence?"

"Great changes unseen in 3000 years, good sentence, good sentence!"

Zhou Yuan was taken aback. Bai Gui, who usually looked dull, had such an astonishing remark. This is not ordinary.

"This... I heard it when I heard people talking about it from the town."

Bai Gui hesitated for a while before explaining evasively.

Only then did he suddenly realize that some of the knowledge he had taken for granted in his previous life may not even have been heard by people at this time.

For example, Li Hongzhang's phrase "great changes unseen in 3000 years", this is what Li Hongzhang said in May of the 11th year of Tongzhi, when he reconsidered the unabolished deal on the manufacture of ships.

This is mentioned in the folding book presented to the emperor.

Even though nearly 40 years have passed, this sentence has not been heard in the vast villages outside the information cocoon room.

"Brother Bai is right. This is the time for you and me to use martial arts. It is necessary to exercise your body well." Zhou Yuan took a deep look at Bai Gui, his expression became more serious, and he was no longer the playful and joking look just now.

Although it sounds like this sentence was just overheard by Bai Gui, but... You must know that even if ordinary people hear this sentence, they will not pay much attention to it, otherwise it will not cause him to hear this sentence for the first time. sentence.

Now Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang have been dead for seven years.

He developed a genuine friendship with Bai Gui.

Afterwards, Zhou Yuan was more like a chicken blood, and he didn't procrastinate at work, but regarded it as his own training.

……

The forts were built around Bailu Village, and some of the walls of the forts were the courtyard walls of rich families, regardless of each other. The forts in this part are also the strongest, basically all built with blue bricks.

After delivering the firewood, Bai Gui patiently observed the construction of Wubao in Bailu Village.

First put the straw mat in the gap of the castle and pour cold water on it.The ground was freezing and the sky was freezing, and within a short while, the straw mat was frozen hard.The gap between the two straw mats was poured with cold water, and after a while, the gap was filled tightly.

Lunch is served on the public stove.

It's better than what you eat on weekdays.

After working hard for three days, the castle was finally refurbished. Because it was covered with water, the ice castle was much harder than before.In the past few days, after morning school and afternoon school, all the students have to go to the construction site to help.

The Mongolian boys complained again and again, but they were the children of a rich family.

After this and that, many people's studies were dropped and they were criticized by their husbands. At the same time, because of the combination of work and rest, Bai Gui, who was used to hard work and had a good memory, was publicly praised by Xu Xiucai and given to him as a gift. Two copybooks by Bai Gui, namely "Yan Qinli Monument" and "Duobao Pagoda Monument".

"The stele of Yan Qinli captures the essence of Yan Lugong's regular script, but it is not easy for beginners to learn. You should learn this "Duobao Pagoda Stele" first, and practice [-] strokes a day. After school in the evening, give it to me for inspection. Don't slack off in the slightest. "

Xu Xiucai exhorted.

After this day, more than 20 Mongolian children in the school swept away their previous opinions on Bai Gui, and dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

After all, Bai Gui has only been in school for about half a month, and he has already surpassed many of them, and even got a copybook from his husband.

But no one is jealous.

This is what Bai Gui deserves.

If Bai Gui fished for three days and posted on the net for two days, and still achieved the current results, then they would definitely be dissatisfied, angry at the unfairness of the sky, and jealous of Bai Gui's talent.

But Baigui is the first one to arrive at school every morning, working hard.

They see it all.

There is nothing to be jealous of such a person.

Similarly, because of this, many Mongolian children secretly made up their minds to study hard, so following Xu Xiucai's gift, the school's eagerness to learn was greatly encouraged, and the old laziness of the school was swept away.

Inside the house, the flames are like beans.

"Zhu Zi said: 'First read "University" to determine its scale; secondly read "Analects" to establish its foundation; secondly read "Mencius" to observe its development; secondly read "Doctrine of the Mean" to understand the subtleties of the ancients '."

"Among the Confucian classics, I will teach you the "University" first..."

Xu Xiucai sat on the stool, pressed his little finger on the corner of his sleeve, opened the yellowed scroll on the desk, and began to lecture.
