Chapter 148
If there is a reaction, there will be drama.

Shen Jinshan handed the tray to the servant at the side, gently opened the paper on the tray, held it up and handed it to Xiao Tingshen and Wen Qing, and said: "My son, madam, this is the first time I try to print a book. It's a little immature, the villain looked carefully, and there were ink stains on a few words, but it was much faster than hand-copying."

It was Xiao Tingshen's first contact with printing books, and he immediately became interested, "You said these were all printed? How did you print them?"

Shen Jinshan glanced at the warmth, and explained in detail: "It is to engrave the words on wood blocks and then print them on paper. This way, the book will be completed much faster, and the price will be much cheaper than having someone copy it. Reduced labor costs."

Xiao Ting's dark eyes were as bright as stars, and he praised him greatly, "This method is really good."

You don't need to think about it to know that this method must come from his family Qingqing. Qingqing is really smart and can always think of things that others can't think of.

Xiao Tingshen said again: "The cost of books has been reduced, and there are cheap papers. If Xiang Xu really collects tuition fees next year, the farmers will be able to afford it."

Nodding tenderly, he said: "yes, this year's Xiangxu free is to create opportunities for farmers to learn and attract farmers. Ting Shen, if a policy of appointing people on their merits can be introduced, it will increase the enthusiasm of farmers. Who wants to only do it for a lifetime The poor? Who doesn’t want to stand out? In addition, our books, paper, pens and ink can be afforded by farmers, so are we afraid that no one will come to learn in the next year? We have created a favorable platform, and the farmers at the bottom will work harder.”

Xiao Ting deeply feels that every word of warmth is reasonable.

Especially the words 'meritocracy'.

Fresh, but carefully tasted, it really has some flavor.

All the curiosity factors in Bi Risheng's body were mobilized. He sat on the east side, and Shen Jinshan held the paper in front of Xiao Tingshen and Wen Qing. Bi Risheng stretched his neck and could only look at the side. This 'printing book' thing is so interesting.

Unheard of.

Listening to Xiao Tingshen's words tenderly, in fact, he pays attention to Bi Risheng's movements all the time.

She didn't believe that Bi Risheng could sit still.

Sure enough, Bi Risheng asked, "Shen... Carpenter?"

Shen Jinshan moved slightly when he heard someone calling him, and looked at Bi Risheng, "Mr. Bi, are you calling me?"

Bi Risheng glanced at Xiao Tingshen, then at Wen Qing, and finally fixed his gaze on Shen Jinshan, "Did you engrave the characters on the wood block first, then paint the wood block with ink, and finally print it on the paper?"

Shen Jinshan frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "That's true."

Bi Risheng lowered his eyelids slightly, "This is indeed easier than copying, but engraving is also very troublesome."

Shen Jinshan smiled and said: "Mr. Bi, what you said is that the villain is also thinking of an easier method. Before, I heard my wife ask whether it is possible to engrave the words on small wooden blocks, and then rearrange the small wooden blocks, and then rubbing. This process can be omitted, but this is the first time I have tried woodblock printing, and I don’t know if that method will work, I haven’t tried it yet.”

When Bi Risheng heard this, his interest suddenly became high, his eyes swept over the warmth, he stroked his beard and showed his face with a smile: "This method is really good..."

All I had to say was 'I want to see it'.

Shen Qingling recalled what Wen Qing had just asked him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately felt that his wife was an old fox who could only hang people...

Shen Qingling pushed the boat along the water and said: "Sir, I also find it very interesting, why don't you go to Mufang to have a look together?" Shen Qingling just finished speaking, then rubbed his temples and said, "Ah, sir, I forgot that you are not I like to be in the company of craftsmen. Forget it," he looked at Wen Qing and said, "madam, can I go and have a look? The villain is very interested. "

Warm and secretly laughing, Shen Qingling's acting is almost seamless with her.

Sure enough, she is an old partner, she just glanced at Shen Qingling and understood what she was going to do...

She said warmly and solemnly: "of course, how about we go to Mufang after lunch?"

Shen Qingling bowed hurriedly and said, "Mrs. Xie."

Bi Risheng's old face changed again and again, he glared at Shen Qingling angrily, and muttered, "Who doesn't like being with craftsmen anymore?"

Shen Jinshan smiled coyly, and said back: "Madam, Shen Xingshi, you can see nothing if you go to see it now. Wooden block carving is slower than wooden block carving, and many characters are still being carved. How about it, madam, please give me some advice." After half a month, the villain has carved all the characters, and you can come and have a look, how about it?"

With a deep glance, Xiao Ting saw the little Jiujiu in his wife's heart. Was this a bait to keep Bi Risheng?
He had a little impression of Bi Risheng. It is said that he was a well-known literati in Beiliang. He was once called by the late emperor to teach those princes.

If he really stayed in Wubao, he was afraid that he would suffer a lot in the future.

Especially when you meet a smart love, this guy can't be handled by love?

Thinking of the rich expressions on Bi Risheng's face in the future, Xiao Tingshen couldn't bear it anymore, "Half a month?"

Shen Jinshan replied: "Yes."

Xiao Ting took a deep look at Bi Risheng, "I never support idlers here."

Bi Risheng originally planned to stay on Wubao for a few days, but he choked on a single sentence...

Looking sideways at Xiao Tingshen tenderly, "is there anyone idle here? Mr. Bi intends to stay and teach in Xiangxu. "

Xiao Ting pretended to be taken aback, "Oh? Is that so?"

Bi Risheng's mouth was faster than his thoughts, "Indeed."

Shen Qingling's eyes suddenly fixed on Bi Risheng.

Wen Zesheng, who had been silent all this time, also looked at Bi Risheng, "..."

The warmth is waiting for Bi Risheng's words, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Bi, it's a great glory for you to stay here for the preface."

Bi Risheng pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes swept towards warmth. He always felt that he was trapped. When he looked at her innocent expression again, he felt that he was thinking too much...

Gee.

If Shen Qingling hadn't been hindered by the presence of her husband, she would have laughed three times. Now he sincerely admires the warmth. What she wants to keep can escape her clutches?

...

...

Bi Risheng stayed for the time being. As for what to teach the children, Wen Qing didn't intend to ask. After all, unlike Xiao Tinghe's first time, she copied the Three Character Classic for him mainly because she thought it was catchy and easy to remember.

Learning, always study happily.

Who has the fun of learning when you just engage in those cumbersome words?
...

...

Wen Zesheng only had the time to reminisce with Wen Zesheng after dealing with the matter of Risheng's stay to teach tenderly. The first thing Wen Zesheng did was to ask her why she wanted to fake her death, and how worried she would be if she did this.

The warmth only said that when Li Qinyou came to propose marriage, she was ashamed to marry him, so she thought of feigning death and fleeing Beiliang.

Wen Zesheng always felt that the warm words had not been explained thoroughly. He wanted to ask again, but he heard more surprising news from Wen Qing. It turned out that the emperor had come to Wubao and knew that she was still alive.

Wen Zesheng was extremely worried.

Warm but comforting: "Li Qinyou didn't make trouble in Wubao, let alone Beiliang, Zesheng, you believe in sister." Li Qinyou doesn't have many days to live, how can he have time to deal with Yong'anhoufu?
Wen Zesheng fixed his warm black eyes, "Sister, how do you know?"

He patted Wen Zesheng on the shoulder tenderly, and smiled softly, "I can't talk about it now, but after a while, you will understand." Then he changed the subject and said, "Zesheng, since you came to Wubao, So don't leave for now, Xiang Xu has just opened, how about teaching children to read and write like you and your husband?"

"Me? Can I do it?"

"Okay, why not? But if you don't like it, it's okay. Wubao is busy with general affairs. You take a rest today, and tomorrow I will call Juchangshi and let you follow him? See what you want to do Just do what, how about it?" After thinking about it tenderly, he said: "If you don't want to do anything, and you have nothing to do, you can go to Xiangxu and continue to study with Mr., see if you like it."

Wen Zesheng felt that his sister was different from before.

His older sister was more cowardly and obeyed her mother's orders. When her "death" happened, he didn't even take a closer look. He felt that the word "death" was so far away, why did it happen to her.Now looking at my sister again, she speaks and does things neatly, her whole temperament seems to have changed, and one can't help but want to know more.

Wen Zesheng looked at the warmth quietly, but didn't answer immediately.

Warm sideways smile: "Zesheng, what's the matter? Stupid? Why do you keep looking at me? "

Wen Zesheng smiled, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I just think my sister is getting better and better..."

Wen Qing couldn't help stretching out her finger and nodding his head, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Zesheng's small mouth has become sweet."

After hearing this, Wen Zesheng laughed a little embarrassedly.

The siblings talked for a while, and Cen Xia came over to send a message, saying that the side room had been cleaned up and that the young master could go to rest. Then Wen Zesheng stood up and said, "Sister, let me go and see the room first."

Warmly enjoined: "Okay, you go and have a look, if you need anything, just ask your sister."

Wen Zesheng nodded his head and said "hey" before following Cen Xia out.

...

...

Bi Risheng went to Xiangxu to teach on the second day.

Xiao Tinghe is an old acquaintance of Bi Risheng, Xiao Tinghe studied under Bi Risheng when he was a child, today the two bumped into each other, Bi Risheng almost didn't recognize Xiao Tinghe.

Xiao Tinghe's arrogant and domineering aura has completely subsided. The navy blue gown complements his tall stature, and his resolute and handsome face inexplicably adds a bit of elegance, which is quite different from the mischievous and aggressive Bi Risheng when he was a child.

Xiao Ting congratulates a martial artist who came to teach, isn't this about laughing out loud? !
But the key is that it really looks like that when he taught it, and the children sitting below shook their heads and followed him to read.

Bi Risheng stood by the back door of the classroom and watched for a long time before silently entering another classroom.

Sitting underneath were all children in tattered clothes that had been patched several times. Their immature faces were full of thirst for knowledge. Bi Risheng didn't teach those songs, but taught metaphysics when he came up...

Metaphysics is the foundation of Beiliang.

Bi Risheng stayed here to study printing, so he didn't care if the children under him could understand or not, and he spoke quickly. If it was a different clan in Beiliang City, the classroom would have been noisy, but he From the beginning to the end, the children below listened quite seriously.

Bi Risheng looked at this group of children who were thirsty for knowledge, and couldn't express any emotions in his heart for a while, so he just asked: "Have you made a note? I'm going to have to slap my back in the next class."

When Bi Risheng said this, he saw the nervousness on the faces of the children below.

Bi Risheng thought that these children would not be able to recite it, and it happened that he shirked the job.

Unexpectedly, the drawing back on the second day was very smooth, and the children were able to memorize everything verbatim.

Bi Risheng was secretly surprised!
This class is intended to teach more difficult texts, and the expressions of the children are serious. Bi Risheng thinks that these children must have recited them the next day, after all, the children of the clan he taught did not listen to the whole class. .

However, on the second day, I was slapped in the face!
Bi Risheng was shocked!
How did these kids do it?

Bi Risheng finally faced up to these children. Which gentleman doesn't like smart children?

The same goes for Bi Risheng.

He asked in class, "You have all recited it, can you understand the meaning?"

The children were silent, each of them lowered their heads and did not answer.

Bi Risheng said: "You don't understand the meaning, how did you recite it?"

The class was too quiet. After a while, a child stood up and said, "Sir, we really don't understand the meaning, but we will understand it one day. We heard from Mr. Xiao that you are a highly respected gentleman. Your Knowledgeable, we are willing to recite and memorize it first, and we can always understand it when we are like Mr.

Bi Risheng couldn't even utter a single word.

After that class, Bi Risheng taught seriously, conveying the incomprehensible meaning earnestly.

These children are grateful to Dade, and after teaching for a while, some children will send him fresh eggs and vegetables grown at home...

Bi Risheng has been a teacher for so many years, and it is the first time he has received such a simple Shuxiu, but this kind of Shuxiu has made him feel the satisfaction he has never had before.

Afterwards, Bi Risheng went to Mufang to study printing. He witnessed the process of woodblock printing and printing books for the first time. He was very interested in the matter of wood block typesetting and printing later, and even rolled up his sleeves. Do it yourself.

Bi Risheng's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. He has lived to this age and has seen a lot. Sometimes he still feels that his mentality is old, but after arriving in Wubao, he somehow feels like he is inflated and useful. Endless strength, it's like living a new life.

This dock really opened his eyes.

...

...

Juchangshi has recently been arranging for farmers to dig the fields, open warehouses to release grain seeds, and prepare to cultivate a new batch of seedlings.

Wen Zesheng followed Ju Changshi to help distribute the grain seeds. He ran around every day and couldn't find anyone. He only went back to the main room for dinner when it was dark. Before it was summer, his face was quite tanned.

Even so, Wen Zesheng was very happy. When he returned to the main room, he talked with Wen Qing about today's situation.

The family is happy.

...

...

The days go by so slowly, and her warm belly is growing day by day. When she is standing, she can no longer see her toes. Counting her fingers, it will be seven months...

The weather is also getting warmer.

Xiao Tingshen hasn't gone out since he came back from Jinzhou, and he often walks with his wife on the Wubao, hoping that it will be easier for love to give birth.

In mid-April, all the farmers were busy planting rice seedlings in the field, and the sound of keel waterwheel irrigation resounded throughout Wubao. The first busy farming season of this year came as scheduled...

Sad news also came from Beiliang.

On April [-], Li Qinyou died.
