16 I am a dandy prince
◎Not a great writer◎
On the small road.
A student who was originally bored was looking around.
With his sharp eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stealthy person who was looking around cautiously.
Suddenly, he became excited, and happily nudged his companion beside him, saying, "Look! Look!"
"What are you doing!" The person next to me was holding a book and reading while walking. He was unhappy about being disturbed and complained.
The man ignored him and asked excitedly, "Brother Lin, look, is that person Yi Baiyu?"
"Yi Baiyu!" Upon hearing this name, the man became interested and immediately put down the book in his hand. After all, the original author was here, and it would not be too late to read the book another day.
"Is what Brother Wu said true?" the man asked hurriedly, "Where is it? Where is it?"
"Brother Lin, please keep your voice down."
"Oh! Sorry, Brother Wu, I got a little excited."
Not caring to get entangled with him, Yi Baiyu left immediately and said hurriedly: "Brother Lin, hurry! Hurry! Let's go over there!"
The two of them hurriedly ran towards Yi Baiyu.
From a distance, Bai Yu saw someone rushing towards him, but he did not move rashly.
Bai Yu is still very confident in his concealment level.
Those people definitely didn't come for themselves.
Right now, I have something more important to do, which is to sneak out of the academy.
As for why, I will start to talk about it from this morning.
In the morning, in Baiyu Academy.
I just recognized him as my brother yesterday. Although it was one-sided, I believe the other party would agree.
The brothers left this morning, leaving him alone!
Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel sad. Why did you leave without even being able to help me?
Lying on the bed, Bai Yu sighed.
"Bang-bang-bang-" There was knock on the door.
A voice came from outside the door, saying, "Brother Yi, are you there? I'm Xie Mingxuan."
The visitor was Xie Mingxuan, the son of General Xie. Bai Yu had not seen him for a long time since he came to the academy.
Normally, if Xie Mingxuan came, Bai Yu might be in a good mood and chat with him for a few minutes.
But Bai Yu was very upset today. He walked over impatiently, opened the door and said, "What are you doing here?"
"That...that...that Brother Yi..." Xie Mingxuan was holding a book in his hand, hesitating and looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look Bai Yu in the face.
"So, what exactly are you going to do?" Yi Baiyu said helplessly, "Just say it! You act as if I am bullying you!"
"Brother Yi, I have read your book and benefited a lot from it. I hope you will forgive me for misunderstanding you a lot in the past."
At this point, Xie Mingxuan bowed deeply, raised the book in his hands with both hands, and handed it to Bai Yu, saying: "Brother Yi, I have another unwelcome request. If possible, can you stamp and sign the book for me?"
Book? What book? The one I wrote? Bai Yu took the book with a puzzled look on his face.
Looking closely, I saw the words "Warning Words to the World" written by Yi Baiyu on the cover.
Is this some kind of New World prank? Bai Yu flipped through the book without caring.
While flipping through the pages, wait... this! Isn't this... isn't this the booklet I wrote back then? Bai Yu was surprised to find out and thought to himself.
The more Bai Yu turned the pages, the more shocked he felt. He had never seen his book again since he finished writing it. How come it had been printed into a book now?
Thinking of this, Bai Yu raised his head and asked Xie Mingxuan, "Where did you get this book?"
He scratched his head, not understanding why Yi Baiyu asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "I bought it at the bookstore."
At this point, Xie Mingxuan said, "Brother Yi, you may not know that this book is selling like hot cakes in all major bookstores. I managed to snatch this copy with great difficulty!"
Bai Yu came back to his senses, the evil voice at that time was still ringing in his ears, "Selling crazy, selling crazy, selling crazy, selling crazy..." Bai Yu shook his head hurriedly, trying to shake the voice out of his mind.
Don't think about it anymore, it's better to get out as soon as possible.
Aiming at the path, Bai Yu raised his foot and prepared to move towards the target.
"Pa-pa-pa" someone patted my back gently several times.
"Stop making noise, I'm busy!" Bai Yu shook his shoulders and said impatiently.
"Pah-pah-pah"
"Stop making trouble. Can't you see I'm busy..."? Before he finished the last few words, Bai Yu seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly turned his head to look over.
There were two people standing behind him, patting him with their hands. When he turned around, one of them, holding a book, said with a smile: "My Lord, this book, can I..."
This smile, this look, are so familiar. Xie Mingxuan had previously brought the book to him with a smile on his face and asked him to sign it. Looking at this, how could Bai Yu not understand?
Bai Yu stepped back repeatedly, his hands wagging, and he said, "That...that...this brother, you've got the wrong person!"
The firmness of his tone made the two people who rushed over inadvertently start to doubt whether they had really recognized the wrong person?
The man looked at it from top to bottom and from left to right, then opened the book again, turned to the last page, pointed at the last portrait, and said to Bai Yu, "Isn't it right? Isn't this exactly the same as in the book?"
"What? There's even my portrait!" Bai Yu was so shocked that he couldn't help but say it out loud, exposing his own existence.
For a moment, the two people facing each other smiled more firmly, as if to say, you still say it's not you.
"Alas..." Knowing that he couldn't escape this time, Bai Yu sighed helplessly, took the charcoal pencil handed over by the other party, and signed his name on the title page of the book.
Afterwards, the two wanted to pull Bai Yu aside to discuss the contents of the book, but Bai Yu tried to persuade them and finally escaped.
Before leaving, the man suddenly said to Bai Yu: "Brother Bai, there is no need to sneak out. Students of our Songzhu Academy have one day off every month to go out."
"Who... who touched me secretly..." Bai Yu, who had quietly bent over and slipped to the corner of the wall, stood up, touched the back of his head guiltily and said.
Although these words were not convincing, Bai Yu knew it and could only laugh foolishly a few times.
The two people opposite him did not break up the stage. He said to Bai Yu: "Remember to tell Master when you come back." After that, the two left.
Finally standing in front of the bookstore, Bai Yu looked up at the plaque above and couldn't help but sigh: "It has been so difficult along the way!"
He raised his foot to enter the bookstore, but when he looked inside from outside the door, he vaguely saw several familiar figures inside. Bai Yu's originally firm steps became a little hesitant, and his right foot was reluctant to put down the ground.
What is going on?
Master, father and mother, how did they get together?
After hesitating for a while, Bai Yu finally decided to go in.
"Dad, Mom." After entering the room, the parents standing beside them in white clothes shouted, and then called Zheng Qiuren, who was standing beside them and selecting books, "Master".
"Yu'er!" Upon hearing the voice, Lady Anping Hou ran over immediately, gently touched Bai Yu's face with her hand, and said, "You've lost weight, lost weight..."
Anping Hou stood aside and nodded in agreement: "You look a lot thinner. Yu'er, you have worked hard during this period."
Is there? Hearing this, Bai Yu reached for the other cheek and gently pinched it a few times.
No! Hasn't it gained some weight?
"Cough, cough, cough..." Bai Yu was suddenly startled by the sudden coughing sounds.
"Dean! Why are you here?" Bai Yu turned around suddenly, and the person standing behind him was none other than the dean of Songzhu Academy.
It has to be said that Bai Yu's choice of location was really clever.
This bookstore is the largest one in the capital. Many scholars and royal nobles like to buy books here, not only because of the rich and diverse collection of books here, but also because the environment is very elegant and comfortable.
Look, in recent days, Marquis Anping and his wife have completely let go of their worries because their son has become famous and successful.
After making an appointment with their son's teacher, the three of them went to the bookstore together, ready to buy a book in person to take home as a collection.
When the dean heard the news, he was also very interested and came here courageously.
"What? Can't I come?" The dean said faintly, with a hint of sourness in his words.
Originally, the dean wanted to accept a disciple only out of his temporary love for talent. Later, after Zheng Qiuren accepted Bai Yu as his disciple, the matter was let go.
But before this, Bai Yu was willing to tarnish his own reputation in order to protect his master Zheng Qiuren.
The guy who asked the dean to leave has come back. I missed such a good disciple in vain!
Dean Shochiku was very concerned about his reputation and was too embarrassed to say this out loud, so when he heard the news by chance, he followed closely, attempting to be the brightest "lightbulb" in the crowd.
Zheng Qiuren knew very well what President Shochiku was thinking. President Shochiku, who seemed as steady as a mountain in the eyes of outsiders, was like an "old child" in front of his acquaintances.
In Zheng Qiuren's eyes, this kind of behavior of following closely was just the mentality of a child who wanted to eat candy but had no money to buy it.
What could Zheng Qiuren do about this? The apprentice had already become his own, how could he send him back? He could only smile and agree, because the apprentice was his anyway and couldn't fly away.
So when they heard that President Songzhu would also participate in this rally, Marquis Anping and his wife had already learned the news from Zheng Qiuren in advance, so they were not too surprised.
Before Bai Yu had time to wonder about Dean Songzhu's strange attitude, he was pulled to a bookshelf by Marquis Anping and his wife standing nearby:
"Yu'er, look quickly, these are your books." Wen Lanhui, wife of Marquis Aping, reached out her hand and gently stroked the backs of the books, her fingertips trembling slightly. "Mother has long known that my Yu'er is the smartest child in the world." As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up.
"Madam..." Marquis Anping, who was standing aside, stepped forward and held his wife Wen Lanhui in his arms. At the same time, he took out a handkerchief from his arms with his right hand and gently wiped the tears from Wen Lanhui's cheeks.
Bai Yu did not notice this extremely warm scene. His entire mind was shocked by the shelf of books in front of him.
My book… my book… my book… These words kept repeating in his mind, replaying on the screen, constantly reminding him that his dandy persona had collapsed.
Presumably, in modern times, he would have been a best-selling author.
What on earth is going on?
On the other side, Zheng Qiuren saw Bai Yu standing in front of the bookshelf for a long time with a sad face. He couldn't help but feel moved and sighed: Alas... He is just a child after all. He has experienced so many misunderstandings along the way before he wrote this book. Now is the time for me, his master, to step in.
He stepped forward and comforted her, "This book is finished! In the eyes of the world, you are no longer the same as before! We understand your difficulties and your intentions. Your talent will not be buried! Master will teach you more in the future, and we will work hard together as master and apprentice to move forward."
Zheng Qiuran felt that his words of comfort were very good, but why after he finished speaking, Bai Yu's eyes became even more sorrowful, and her mouth opened and closed, but in the end, she didn't say a word.
Zheng Qiuren began to reflect on himself, was it because he said it too well? So his disciples were moved beyond words.
The dean standing at one side was not satisfied with the warm interaction between the master and the apprentice. He turned around flexibly, squeezed over, and said to Bai Yu who was still standing there blankly: "My friend, your book can be published, and I have contributed a lot."
Hearing this, Bai Yu immediately broke out of his chaotic state, his eyes seemed to light up, and he stared over sharply. It turned out that you were the murderer behind the scenes!
"Really? Dean, thank you so much!"
Dean Songzhu didn't notice anything unusual about Baiyu. He was even happier when he heard Bairi thank him. He said happily, "Do you know that when the vice-dean of the academy, Zhao Xiyan, and your master Zheng Qiuren, went out every day to print books, it was I who took over their classes and handled the affairs of the academy. If it weren't for me, would they be so carefree?"
Printed books? Hearing this, Bai Yu turned around and looked at his master Zheng Qiuren: "Master, are you involved in this too?"
Zheng Qiuren shook his head and smiled, "It was just a small help, don't worry about it. I am still grateful to the Marquis of Anping for recommending me to Your Majesty."
Dad? Bai Yu turned around and looked at Anping Hou again.
Seeing his son looking at him, Anping Hou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is not my fault. I just delivered the letter to General Xie. How did Your Majesty know about it? I am also a little confused."
At this time, Wen Lanhui, the wife of the Marquis of Anping, who was standing by, spoke up: "Yu'er, this book was published thanks to everyone's help, especially His Majesty, who made the final decision. Vice Dean Zhao Xiyan and your master went to print the book in person, and they kept a close eye on every process, fearing that there would be problems. There are also people like the Dean who do logistics work. We have to remember all of this!"
Bai Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Surprise! We are the ones who stabbed you in the back!"
Bai Yu felt like he was going to vomit blood, and he seemed to feel the malice of the world.
Oh my God, I just want to maintain a dude persona, is it really that difficult?
At this time, Zheng Qiuren spoke again: "Madam Hou, you are too kind. This is not our achievement. The important thing is the prince himself! If it were not for the prince's talent, how could this book be written!"
Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Bai Yu couldn't hear anything. There was only one sentence echoing in his mind: "The important existence is the prince himself!" He couldn't calm down for a long time.
It turns out that, in the end, I was the one who stabbed "me" in the back!
Before Bai Yu fainted, the last thing she saw was the figures of her father and mother rushing towards her anxiously.
Following the anxious voice of Anping Hou, "Chuanfu, go and call the doctor quickly," Bai Yu completely lost consciousness.
