Qin Lin and Qin Erlang, whose appearance had changed, were quickly invited into the backyard.
After reading Xue Xiaobao's article, Qin Lin was also surprised: "Did you really write this investigation article?"
"Of course." Xue Xiaobao said proudly, but it was a pity that the way he lay on the bed with his butt stuck out really hurt his points, making it impossible for him to get in touch with the scholar.
Qin Lin commented: "This article is very well written. Although the investigation of some things is a little crude and the thinking of some issues is a little naive, it is already very difficult considering your youth!"
To put it bluntly, some of the officials in the Great Xia Dynasty probably couldn't write such an article. What they think about every day is not how to govern the people, but how to curry favor with superiors and speculate. How many people are there under their rule?
, how much output, drought and flood conditions, etc., all are unclear."
The latter sentence is a bit heavy, that is, Qin Lin, a former internal minister, can say it. Even when he was still the internal minister, if he said such words, the court and local officials had to carefully understand and learn from the spirit.
As for Qin Shaoyou, Xue Qingshan, Qin Qiaoer and others, they can complain in private, but they dare not say these things in front of outsiders.
Xue Xiaobao didn't care about this. He was very satisfied with Qin Lin's praise. He turned to look at Qin Lin, his eyes full of expectation, and he almost urged him directly: "Praise, continue to praise, if you can praise others, praise more."
"
Qin Lin did not disappoint him. After criticizing the current officialdom, she looked down at Xue Xiaobao's article and sighed: "Being able to write such an article shows..."
Xue Xiaobao pricked up his ears, waiting to be praised.
As a result, Qin Lin feinted with her sword and suddenly changed the subject: "This shows how good your master is at teaching others."
Xue Xiaobao, who was so excited, drooped his face, and muttered in his heart: "You have said this many times since yesterday, and my ears can hear it."
Xue Qingshan didn't think about this. He invited Qin Lin to the backyard just to hear Qin Lin's praise so that Xue Xiaobao could leave a good impression in Qin Lin's heart.
Although he did not know the true identities of Qin Lin and Qin Erlang, the fact that he was able to let the red-clothed messenger act as a guard, and even had the commander-in-chief of the red-clothed messenger come to pick them up in person, showed that their status was unusual.
If you can form a good relationship with him now, it will be a great benefit to yourself and Xue Xiaobao.
But at the same time, Xue Qingshan also knows that going too far is never enough.
Seeing that Xiaobao had already gained enough impression points in front of Qin Lin and Qin Erlang, he stopped wasting time, patted Xue Xiaobao's butt and said, "Stop lying on the bed, get up and take us to visit you."
Master."
Unexpectedly, Xue Xiaobao turned his face and said with a groan: "I can't go, I can't go. The injury on my butt is not healed yet. I can't stick my butt out to see my wife, right? That would be rude."
Xue Qingshan's face darkened and he shouted: "Don't be weird with me here. Don't think that I don't know. Your uncle gave you the healing medicine. Take it out and use it quickly. If you continue to do this, I will slap you and let you go." Your ass is completely blooming!"
Xue Xiaobao was stunned: "How did you know that my uncle gave me the medicine?"
Xue Qingshan didn't say how he knew it, he just sneered: "You are a little too young to hide something in front of me."
Helpless, Xue Xiaobao could only take out the healing medicine given by Qin Shaoyou and take some internally and some externally.
Needless to say, the effect of this medicine is indeed very good. Not long after applying it and taking it, the injury on Xue Xiaobao’s butt improved.
Although it is not as smooth as before and has regained its previous tight elasticity, at least it is no longer painful and I can turn over and sit up.
Xue Qin took out a new set of clothes for Xue Xiaobao to change into, while Xue Qingshan carried the gifts he had prepared early - ten pieces of dried meat and a bag of money.
This is not only a gift for Xue Xiaobao to become a disciple, but also a reward for thanking the master for his teaching.
After the group was well prepared, they left the Demon Division of Luocheng Town.
Walking on the way to the Confucian Temple, Qin Shaoyou turned on all his talents such as [Bright Eyes], [Wonderful Nose], and [Listening]. As expected, he noticed that someone was nearby to protect him, and he felt slightly at ease.
The Confucian Temple in Luocheng is located in the same place as the Fu Xue.
The first half is where the students of the government study and study, while the second half is where Confucius and his disciples are worshiped, as well as the Pantheon, Minghuan Temple and other ancestral halls for local sages and famous officials.
Next to the Confucian Temple School is the place where Qin Shaoyou, Xue Qingshan and others have been - Piaoxiang Courtyard.
Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and the people in Piaoxiang Courtyard were still sleeping after working hard all night. Otherwise, if they bumped into one or two people they knew, especially the old bustard, it would be really unexplainable. .
When they arrived at the gate of the Confucian Temple School, Xue Qingshan and others were about to go inside, but they were stopped by Xue Xiaobao, who asked them to follow him on the side path and go around to the Confucian Temple at the back.
"What tricks are you trying to do?" Xue Qingshan was puzzled, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "We are here to formally visit your teacher today, how can we not go through the main entrance?"
Xue Xiaobao turned around and said plausibly: "It is precisely because you are here to visit the Master that I asked you to follow me around and climb over the wall. The Master said that these people in the front courtyard are either pedantic or pedantic. He thinks about the sensual and voluptuous man every day. He and these people have different paths and do not work together, and they all follow their own ambitions. He also asked me to have less contact with those people in the government school, so as not to be polluted by them. Confucianism and righteousness."
Xue Qingshan was immediately speechless. Fortunately, he did not inform the school in advance, otherwise the academic officer would have been so angry when he heard this.
But Xue Qingshan felt that his son was right.
The students in Luocheng Prefecture School are indeed not very good. Few of them are capable. Compared with An Mutong when he studied here, they are not even the slightest bit worse.
The current group of students are not even as familiar with Fu Xue as Piao Xiang Yuan next door. They are also not as familiar with the Classics and History Collection as they are with playing, playing, and singing.
"Xiaobao's wife is quite a sweet-tempered person."
Qin Lin smiled and spoke.
After a night's rest, his mental state was much better than yesterday. He cupped his hands towards Xue Qingshan with a smile and said: "Master Xue, since this great sage has unique rules, then we, a group of people who do not tell us anything, will
Guests who come should behave according to the host's rules."
Xue Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said: "It's okay for us, I'm just afraid that the two nobles..."
"It's okay for us." Qin Lin said with a smile.
Seeing what he said, Xue Qingshan had no objection, so he let Xue Xiaobao continue to lead the way, and soon took a detour to the Confucian Temple behind the Mansion School.
Xue Xiaobao followed the courtyard wall, climbed over the wall very nimbly, and climbed in.
Seeing his skillful appearance, Xue Qingshan's face turned green again, but he didn't say anything. He picked up Xue Qin and followed him over the wall.
Qin Shaoyou also supported Qin Lin, while Qin Qiaoer pulled Qin Erlang up, followed each other, and flew over the courtyard wall.
After passing the courtyard wall and entering the Confucian Temple, I saw Xue Xiaobao running towards the main hall where the statue of Confucius is enshrined, shouting: "Master, I am back."
Outside the main hall, stood a burly old man with gray hair but good spirits.
When Xue Xiaobao climbed over the courtyard wall, he was cleaning with a broom.
Hearing Xue Xiaobao's cry, the old man raised his head and showed a kind smile towards Xue Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, how was this trip? Did you gain anything?"
Xue Xiaobao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I have gained quite a lot."
Not far away, Qin Shaoyou, who had just entered the Confucian Temple, looked at the old man with a sharp look and raised his eyebrows slightly.
