The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 235 Returning to the Normal School (Full Order)
The next day.

Bai Gui took Tian Xiao'e and Er Shuanzi away from Tian's Shizi and went straight to the provincial capital.

He didn't plan to go back to Bailuyuan in Zishui County first, he would go home first, there would inevitably be a lot of entertainment, and it would be easy to delay things, so he would go to the provincial capital first, handle things more or less, and then return to Bailuyuan.Furthermore, it was also agreed to meet with Guanshi Zhang.

"Friend Bai left in a hurry, it's because I didn't entertain well."

Tian Xiucai showed shame and said.

He felt that he didn't go to the street to sell wine or buy meat, which caused Bai Gui to leave after staying for one night.

"Friend Tian, ​​don't blame yourself. I have other important things to do when I go to the provincial capital."

"It's not bad hospitality."

Bai Gui replied.

He had a very clear understanding of Tian Xiucai's character.It's very comfortable to be friends with this kind of people, because they like to slap their faces to pretend to be fat. If they are family members, they will be very unlucky and dragged down a lot.

People with this kind of personality are not uncommon.

Tian Xiucai and Xiucai's wife sent Bai Gui and his party out of the Tian family. During the send-off, many villagers heard that a big man had come to the village, so they followed along the street to see off.

"I've never been so shameless in my life..."

On the way, Tian Xiao'e lifted the curtain of the carriage once and said to Bai Gui.

Say thanks once.

After finishing speaking, she retracted into the carriage again.

Probably frozen again.

It was freezing cold outside, much colder than snowfall.

Biting cold.

The slightest bit of bare skin was exposed, and it was freezing cold.

……

When we arrived at the provincial capital, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yongning Gate.

The south gate of Chang'an.

The First Normal School of Qin Province is located at the west entrance of Shuyuanmen Street on the east side of the south gate of the provincial capital.

"I think too much..."

Complacent, Bai Gui looked around at the sights and objects along Shuyuan Street, his eyes quickly glanced at the rows of white wooden Jinshi archways, feeling a little disappointed in his heart that he was not found.

This is also normal, the normal school in the provincial capital is not like Bailu Village, where scholars are rare, and there are many Jinshi here in the past dynasties.The predecessor, Guanzhong Academy, has been a well-known academy throughout the country since it was established by Feng Congwu of the Ming Dynasty.

Scholars will not set up any memorial archways for their fame.

He walked to the photo studio on the corner.

As before, there are three-dimensional photos at the door. Through the glass door, you can see the old-fashioned camera placed on the wooden frame, covered with black cloth, and students wearing robes walk in and out in twos and threes from time to time.

"Bai Xianggong, let's take a picture too."

"When I was young, I heard my father talk about this kind of Western thing, but I never touched it, saying that I was afraid it would suck away the soul..."

After Tian Xiaoe entered the city, she untied the curtains of the carriage, looked around, saw the photo studio, and asked timidly.

The price of taking a photo in a photo studio is not cheap, and the number of photos varies from ocean to ocean.

Tian Xiucai would never bring her to such a place for consumption.

She knew that asking rashly would make others unhappy, but...she really wanted to take a picture.

Even if there is only one!
"Small matter, let's go in now."

When Bai Gui saw this familiar scene, he thought of the scene where he took pictures with Zhou Yuan, Miss Zhou Zhou, Lu Zhaopeng, and Bai Xiaowen back then.

If there is no request from Tian Xiao'e, he will also take the opportunity to take a few photos.

One is to post it to the friend who received the letter, and the other is to go home, so I have to take a photo anyway.

Enter the door.

The business of the photo studio is not so lukewarm.

But not so lively.

After all, the cost of taking pictures is relatively expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford this price.

So after a while, it was the turn of the two.

"Sir, lady, please sit down..."

"Madam, please smile, um, keep this smile."

"Come on! One, two, three, eggplant!"

The stylishly dressed photographer in a suit bowed his waist, huddled his front half inside the black cloth covered by the camera, shouted, and immediately pressed the shutter after Bai Gui and Tian Xiao'e finished shouting eggplant.

"Sir, is it an expedited one or a normal one? You can get it after one day after the expedited one, but it takes a week for the normal one to get your own photo."

The photographer came over and said.

"Hurry up."

Bai Gui glanced at the flyer posted on the wall of the photo studio.

There is an expedited option.

Two silver dollars more expensive than normal.

He was not short of these few silver dollars, so he nodded and chose this option.

The first time he came here to take pictures, the photographer did not give two options, because they were all dressed as students at the time, and they had just come from the countryside to the provincial capital, so there would be no extra money, but at the moment his clothes and temperament, It's not like a master who is short of money.

"Please leave your address, sir, and we will deliver the photos in person."

The photographer smiled and said.

Bai Gui left the address, which was the courtyard he rented near the Normal School in the provincial capital when he practiced martial arts.

Later, after he studied in Dongyang, a letter from his family mentioned that his father Bai Youde had bought this house as the residence of the Bai family in the provincial capital.

At this time, most of the rich people in the countryside would buy a house in the provincial capital, which was convenient for commuting.

Real estate prices will not change much.

Out of the photo studio.

Bai Gui followed his memory and found Bai's house on Shuyuanmen Street.

Er Shuanzi offered to resign at this time, he had already sent Bai Gui to the residence in the provincial capital, it was time to resign.

Bai Gui agreed, took out a few silver dollars from his pocket, and stuffed them into Er Shuanzi's hands.

You can't use your labor in vain.

"Thank you Mr. Bai."

Er Shuanzi's face brightened. The reason why he was willing to listen to Zhang Guanshi to take over this job was because these scholars would not be stingy like ordinary landlords and wealthy people.

After bowing to thank him, he drove the carriage and left without resting.

After Er Shuanzi left for a while, Bai Gui walked to the door of Bai's house and knocked on the door.

This house is much smaller than his one in Luohua Hutong in Yanjing. In fact, it is a type of small household. There are only three or four tile-roofed houses in the house, leaving a small courtyard, which is not very spacious.

After knocking on the door for a while, no one answered.

A middle-aged woman came from the next door. When she saw Bai Gui, she was surprised and said: "Sir, there is usually no one in this house. I am watching it. Do you want it?"

"It's Aunt Cui."

With sharp eyes, Bai Gui recognized immediately that this was the elder of Bailu Village.

"It's your son, bah, Mr. Bai?"

"Are you back from studying abroad?"

Aunt Cui was stunned for a moment. Bai Guihe's appearance had not changed much four years ago, but his clothes and temperament had changed a lot. When she saw a person dressed like this, she dared not take a second look. , so as not to be rude, so I didn't recognize it for a while.

"Yes, I came back from studying abroad. I went back to the provincial capital first. I wanted to enter the house, but this..."

Bai Gui smiled. He knew the result a long time ago. He has a small family. When he bought this house, he would not put another person to guard it. Usually, he would ask the neighbors to help him take care of it. There is nothing valuable in it, such as this kind of house , the land deed and house deed are the most valuable.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person who came to see it was not the original resident here, but Aunt Cui from Bailu Village.

"Bai Xianggong, our village has been selling gourd chickens all the time, and I have made a small fortune. I looked at the gourd chicken shop at the gate of the academy, so I bought a house next to your house, and usually look at your house... "

Aunt Cui replied.

"Wait a minute, I'll get the key."

She hurried to the side room, came back after a while, and handed Bai Gui a bunch of keys.

"Thank you, Aunt Cui."

Bai Gui accepted the key and thanked him.

However, the relationship between him and Aunt Cui was limited to being acquainted, and they were not very close. After talking for a few words, he felt that Aunt Cui was not at ease, so he stopped talking.

Aunt Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell and left.

No matter how friendly and acquainted she is when she talks to this kind of husband-in-law, the psychological pressure is still great.

When speaking, trembling, lest offend.

Open the copper lock and enter the house.

Tian Xiao'e entered the master bedroom, quickly swept off the dust with a feather duster, then took out the cotton quilt, and some items covered with sheets and quilts from the boxes and cabinets, and spread the bed.

She is a smart, capable woman.

Such as this kind of house that has not been lived in for a long time, it is generally afraid that the cotton will be dampened and dusted, so it is stored in a box.

"I'll go out first..."

"I used to study at the Normal School in the provincial capital, so I had to visit some teachers and classmates..."

Bai Gui tried his best to move his eyes away from Tian Xiaoe's plump parts, and said casually.

"Well, then... you... go early and come back early."

Tian Xiao'e was holding a feather duster, bending her waist to clean the dust. Hearing this, she glanced back and nodded. She had nothing to say. It was not up to her to agree or disagree with this matter. Bai Gui asked her as a respect for her.

"Don't worry, I will go early and return early..."

Bai Gui saw Tian Xiaoe's thoughts, she didn't say anything, but when she turned her head, her body trembled.

Sensitive, can't handle the sensitivity of fate.

But he didn't say much about it.

It's just that when he went out of the bedroom door, he deliberately bent over, and the front of the gown swayed slightly.

Well, the bedroom door is lower.

lean less.

Bai Gui went to the backyard of the normal school, the stables as usual.

No one stopped.

Even though the horse breeder in the school had doubts about Bai Gui's identity, he didn't dare to ask more questions. There were people coming and going in the normal school, and occasionally a big man visited, and there were many people of all kinds. People, entering the normal school, don't look like people who will do bad things.

Pass through the Chaoshou corridor, and you will arrive at the auditorium's ear room.

The old man in the ear room is lying on a bamboo rocking chair, squinting his eyes, sipping tea, which is different from ordinary tea, it is triple-brewed tea.

Three bubble tea, also known as three bubble tea, eight treasure tea.This tea is based on tea leaves, usually Maojian, Fucha, and Puer tea. It is mixed with rock sugar, wolfberry, red dates, walnut kernels, longan meat, sesame seeds, raisins, apple slices, etc. It tastes sweet and delicious. It can nourish the body and prolong life. Therefore, the elderly in the northwest region like to drink this kind of tea.

Bai Gui walked in and sat aside.

He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip of the hot tea.

Old Zhaifu didn't care much about this kind of behavior. Three-brewed tea is not a rare thing, and it is not very expensive. It is common for some faculty members or students to come to him to mix a cup of tea.

“Good tea!”

Bai Gui praised.

The old husband suddenly put down the teacup and hummed Qin opera, "The mistress was full of anger when she saw it, and said that Huang Chao's face was ugly, and she dismissed the champion from office and drove him away from the examination room. How can the county see his relatives and friends in the township party? Huang Chao left the Meridian Gate and stayed behind in anti-poetry. He would not return home if he did not kill Emperor Xizong. Yang puts his body in safety, Cheng Jingsi shows Zhongliang, and Shatuo Kingdom goes to move the King of Jin, but the King of Jin will not send people and horses..."

The song is "White Tiger Hall" in Qin Opera.

This opera is a famous song in Qin Opera, and it is almost as famous as "The Case of Guillotine Beauty".

Many people can sing.

Older people often come to a song impromptu.

Bai Gui didn't want to disturb Lao Zhaifu's elegant mood, so he sipped tea quietly.

After singing, Lao Zhai Fu's throat was dry, and he took a sip of tea from the cup. At this moment, he caught sight of Bai Gui out of the corner of his eye, and thought for a while, "It's you, your boy, you came back from studying abroad?"

"It's me..."

When Bai Gui followed the words, he suddenly felt strange.

But elders, call him a boy, what's the matter, no matter what, he has to be respectful.And this boy, he was comfortable listening to it.

"Look, when I go back to the normal school, the first thing I look at is you."

Bai Gui smiled.

In the normal school, he didn't study for a long time. Although he entered Shiwusai, he mostly took Japanese crash courses. He knew some gentlemen, but he didn't have much contact with him. Only Lao Saio and Fujino Hachioji had a good relationship with him. .

"You kid has a conscience."

Lao Zhaifu smiled, put down the teacup, got up halfway from the wicker chair, and said: "The Great Qin Empire you wrote is really good. When I listen to storytelling, many storytellers will talk about the Great Qin Empire. I said I know the author Bai Meihe, hey, they still don't believe it..."

Bai Gui nodded.

The Great Qin Empire is also considered a bestseller in China, but whether he goes to Yanjing or the Shanghai Stock Exchange, most people talk about his book Guns and Guns, which has a higher status.But in Qin Province, as the homeland of the Qin State, Qin people have a different meaning to the Great Qin Empire. Many places in the book are familiar to Qin people, and they are more popular than other places, covering up the book of guns. .

"Come on, come here, I'll take you to meet Mr. Fujino."

"You wrote back to him a few years ago, and he is very grateful to you."

Old Zhaifu stood up tremblingly.

Four years, four years is just a moment for a young man, but for old Zhaifu, in four years, he is already a bit of a dying man.

"Be careful, I'll support you."

Bai Gui approached and helped the old husband.

Walk out of the ear room of the lecture hall.

on the way.

Many students looked at this scene in surprise.Lao Zhaifu's status in the Normal School was neither high nor low, and the students were usually polite, but in his heart he was not as respectful as he was to the gentlemen.

Some students who were acquainted with Lao Zhaifu still couldn't help asking, "Which gentleman is this?"

Bai Gui's attire looks very much like the teacher who taught them.

"My lord, Bai Meihe, just returned from studying abroad in Japan."

Bai Gui smiled, pretending to be aggressive.

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

Acting aggressively at his alma mater, the taste is even more sour and refreshing.He hurried to the normal school in the provincial capital, thinking about this matter.Of course, this matter is secondary.Mainly to visit gentlemen.

"Bai Meihe?"

"Mr. Bai..., aren't you teaching female students at Beiman Girls' School in Yanjing?"

"Why did you return to Qin Province?"

Some students were surprised.

The normal school subscribes to the national newspapers, and there are no major newspapers missing.

Hearing this, Bai Gui's face darkened.
