"Congratulations, Old Xiao! I've seen that your son has been smart since he was young and will definitely have a bright future! What did I say? It came true today!"
"Old Xiao, I have a daughter who is sixteen years old. You see, your son hasn't married yet. We are neighbors, how about..."
"Alright! Your daughter's face is as big as her mother's pancakes. No one wants her even if you pay her. Lao Xiao, I also have a daughter..."
"Your daughter is so good! Her butt is full of pockmarks..." "How the hell did you know? Fuck your ancestors!!"
"Stop fighting! The noble man is still here!"
Amid the noise, Xiao Kang stood there stupidly with a happy smile on his face.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear: "Since the decree has been passed, we will go home first. But Mr. Xiao, you should take advantage of the time to go to Dongjiao University to have a look. Those flying things are really amazing! Your young master is so talented, it is really admirable!"
Xiao Kang came to his senses and heard the eunuch was about to leave, so he hurriedly searched for the silver on his body.
He still understood the rules, and he had to pay money when someone came to convey his orders.
After fumbling around and only taking out a few copper coins, Xiao Kang said awkwardly: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go home and get some..."
"No need." The eunuch who delivered the order smiled bitterly: "Lord Fang has mentioned you by name. If we accept your money and the Royal Guards find out, we will be in trouble. Let's go! No need to see you off!"
In this case, Xiao Kang could only bow and express his gratitude.
After the eunuch left, everyone immediately rushed forward, trying to establish connections and express their attitudes.
All kinds of flattery came at him. Xiao Kang was squeezed in the middle and bowed repeatedly, while trying to squeeze out: "Everyone! Everyone! I want to go to Dongjiao University to take a look, please make way!"
"Old Xiao, I have a carriage! Take my carriage!"
"I have one too! Just ride my horse!"
This was the first time in his life that he had been treated so warmly. Xiao Kang's face was flushed as he kept responding.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, I rode my....where is my bicycle! Who saw my bicycle! Who took my bicycle away!"
......
Dongjiao University was fully open, and countless people moved in response to the news.
Now that the effectiveness of the science has been proven to the court, the next step is naturally to prove it to the common people.
On that day, all teaching buildings were closed to prevent teaching aids from being damaged or stolen.
Only public areas are open to the public.
There are hot air balloons suspended at a height of more than ten meters on the playground, at the rockery, and by the lake.
The outside of the hot air balloon is also painted in various colors, which looks particularly eye-catching.
Xiao Kang arrived outside Dongjiao University surrounded by a crowd of people.
I lost my new bicycle as soon as I got it, and finally got here on someone else’s carriage.
Outside the gate of Dongjiao University, students were already prepared to welcome and guide the people, as well as the Jinyiwei who were there to maintain order.
When someone approached, the students quickly sang the school song to show their cultural heritage: "Dongjiao University is really magical, there are dancing skills in the sky and on the ground, teachers and students have many talents, each leading the people to sing a song~~"
At this time, Xiao Letian had been standing nervously at the gate. Fang Zhengyi had already told him in the principal's office of the school that someone from the palace would come to his house to announce the decree.
If his father had received the imperial edict, he should have come to the university, so he was waiting at the university gate early.
Sure enough, a group of people suddenly appeared not far away, and Xiao Letian immediately squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
The leader is his father!
Xiao Letian's heart beat faster and he quickly walked up to him.
"father!"
Xiao Kang opened his mouth, with a lot of things he wanted to say, but when he saw his son, it seemed as if all the words in his heart were stuck in his chest.
Finally, he just said, "Okay, I know everything."
Xiao Letian smiled, and smiled happily.
"Dad, this is your first time here, I'll show you around."
Xiao Kang nodded, turned around and said loudly: "Everyone, please visit on your own. Please let me talk to my son."
The onlookers were very respectful and dispersed on their own accord, pouring into the campus in groups.
Xiao Kang and his son walked side by side. Xiao Letian excitedly pointed at various buildings and kept introducing them to Xiao Kang.
Xiao Kang remained silent and just looked in the direction of his finger.
Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was already extremely shocked in his heart.
These buildings, green lawns, dense woods, and sparkling lakes...
Everything seems so beautiful and harmonious.
This was the first time in his life that he had come to such a place.
A smile gradually appeared on Xiao Kang's face.
It seems that I am getting old after all... and my horizons have narrowed.
The place where my son studies and researches turned out to be such an environment. If I had come a day earlier to take a look, I wouldn't have to worry all day long.
"Dad, look! That's a hot air balloon. You can fly up to the sky with it!"
Xiao Kang raised his head and looked at the hot air balloon, sighing: "I never thought... I never thought such a big thing could fly into the sky. Is this the mystery of science?"
"Dad looks big, but he's actually not that heavy..."
"Lotte"
"You did very well. Dad is no longer as good as you. If your mother were still alive, she would definitely be proud." Xiao Kang lowered his head and sighed, "Maybe Dad was wrong. The imperial examination is not the only way. Your choice is the right one."
Xiao Letian was shocked!
There was more moisture in his eyes and his voice was a little more trembling: "Dad, you don't have to go to work tomorrow."
"Um."
"Dad, do you want to go up to heaven and take a look? I'll go talk to the principal, he should agree."
"think."
.....
In the principal's office, Fang Zheng looked out the window at the surging crowd outside.
His brows were almost twisted into a circle.
Fuck! This has to be on display for a few more days, the grass is fucking ruined!
"Why...."
Xie Xian beside him asked, "Why is the master sighing?"
"Sigh? This is a sigh for the prosperity of our country and the happiness of our people. But when I think of the many people in this world who still don't have enough to eat, I feel sad."
Xie Xian said in admiration: "Master really has a kind heart like a bodhisattva."
"Bodhisattva? Compared to me, is it productive?" Fang Zhengyi sneered and turned around, saying, "Record today's events and publish them tomorrow. Also, report the fact that you can change your household registration after graduating from Dongjiao University. Our school will be a pearl of world civilization in the future!"
"Master is wise!"
But at this moment, a figure broke into the principal's office.
The visitor was a Jinyiwei. When he saw Fang Zhengyi, he said, "Commander-in-chief! Lufa asked me to bring you a message saying that the foreigners have learned to speak simply. You can decide when you want to meet them. He is going to bring them over."
"Got it. Let him take it to the Pacification Office tomorrow."
After the Jinyiwei left, Fang Zheng looked up, feeling puzzled.
Foreigners...you can speak after only a few months of learning? I have studied for more than ten years and only know a few words, and half of them are insults.
The foreign devils actually learn so quickly! Damn it!
