Just when the cicada on the tree called out this summer sound.
Outside Yangzhou City, next to Qili Village, a large area of land was dug up, and countless craftsmen were busy building foundations and laying bricks and stones on it.
"Brother Yin? Is our academy a bit... too exaggerated? The Taixue Academy I saw in Chang'an is only about this size, right?"
Outside the bustling construction site, Xiao Zhenghan stood under a willow tree, staring dumbfounded at the land measured by the craftsmen.
"It's not big, it's not big! This is the first academy of the Mo family, how can it be considered big? I think it's too small!" Next to him, Yin Can, wearing a black and white gown, replied as he looked at the construction site with a smile.
"Ahem..." Xiao Han coughed twice, glared at Yin Can and said, "Wait, didn't I tell you before? This is not the Mohist Academy? It's the School of Science!"
"What's the difference between these two?" Yin Can looked at Xiao Han with some dissatisfaction.
When he thought about it, this academy was built by the Mo family with money, effort, and outside help!
That should be the Mohist Academy! Not that ridiculous School of Science!
"What's the difference? This is so different!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to be kicked out by those Confucian disciples all day long?"
"I don't want to!" Yin Can shook his head simply.
When Xiao Han saw this, he felt happy and was about to continue speaking, but unexpectedly, Yin Can's next words floated over.
"But if they dare to come to the door, just break one leg and throw it out! One leg comes once, two legs come twice, and as for those who come three times, huh..."
After hearing this, Xiao Han felt a cool breeze hit his lower body, causing him to subconsciously tighten his legs.
"You will offend the public if you do this! When the time comes, they will criticize you verbally and in writing, and Tumo Xingzi will drown you! Besides, I asked His Majesty to write the plaque on this academy in person. How can I change it casually?"
"Hmph, who is afraid of those sour scholars? If saliva can solve the problem, then why do we need a knife?"
Yin Can snorted dissatisfiedly, but finally stopped mentioning the change of the academy's name.
Seeing this, Xiao Han finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
I don’t dare to go to Mohist Academy!
What I just mentioned about Confucianism is just one aspect. In fact, there is something more powerful that Xiao Han did not mention: those are the two important ideas of non-fate and universal love in its own doctrine!
Unlucky?
Is there no destiny in this world? Everything is equal?
Is this different from princes, generals, and ministers? What’s the difference?
Putting aside everything else, just this one thing, the Mohist family can also be played to death by itself!
Xiao Han even felt that even if Xiao Lizi was a thousand times wiser, he would not be able to accept this concept of equality for everyone, let alone tolerate others teaching this concept!
————
After spending the whole day at the construction site, Xiao Han finally dragged his exhausted body back to his home in Yangzhou City at night.
Looking up at the stars in the night sky, Xiao Han sighed and walked through the door.
Hey, I’m tired! It’s not because I’m tired from working, it’s because I’m tired because Yin Can is tired!
He originally thought that Yin Can was a young man like himself and should be able to accept his idea, which was to slightly transform the Mohist family to make it closer to reality and more acceptable to the world.
But where did Xiao Han think? It's okay to tell Yin Can anything else, but once it comes to doctrine, that guy can immediately become more stubborn than Wei Zheng.
Even just to add a few Confucian students to the academy to teach basic principles, the two of them could argue for a whole afternoon.
At the end, if Xiao Han hadn't pounded the table and asked him: How does the Mohist family enlighten those illiterate children, and how does it teach basic principles?
It is estimated that Yin Can still insists on his own opinion and dreams of making the academy a place that belongs entirely to the Mohist family.
When I got home, I hurriedly took a few bites of dinner and didn't bother to listen to Manager Xue's report on the situation in the workshop. After eating, I pushed the bowl and chopsticks away, got up and ran to the backyard in a hurry.
The moon is over the willow branches, and the backyard has long since become quiet.
Xiao Han came all the way to the door of the bedroom, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and the door opened with a sound.
"Master?" Xiao Ai, who opened the door, was startled by Xiao Han. He quickly bowed and saluted, and then ran away as if he was running away, as if he would be asked to sleep with Xiao Han if he stayed for a while longer.
"Hmph, it looks like a hairtail, who cares?" Xiao Han looked at Xiao Ai's back and curled his lips, then walked into the room.
"My husband is back?"
Inside the room, Xue Pan, whose lower abdomen had obviously bulged, heard the sound, put down the needle and thread in his hand, and looked towards the door with a smile.
"Back!" Xiao Han closed the door, looked back at the sewing basket in front of Xue Pan, frowned and complained: "It's so late, why don't you rest? Be careful, it's not good for the child!"
Xue Pan rolled her eyes at Xiao Han: "You, you are scaring me with children all day long. How can children be so delicate? I didn't see that the eldest sister who brought food to the kitchen had already given birth to five. I heard her say that the fifth child was born.
The day before, she was still working in the fields!"
"The lady who delivers food in the backyard?"
When Xiao Han heard Xue Pan mention this name, a tall and thick figure instantly appeared in his mind. He walked without shaking while carrying two baskets of vegetables. He even had a slight resemblance to Cheng Yaojin...
"Ahem, you don't look at other people's bodies. What's your body? Can it be the same?"
As he was thinking about it, a chill arose from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Han was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and shook that female Cheng Yaojin out of his mind!
It's really terrifying! He would have nightmares at night just thinking about that look, and he didn't know how his husband could do it...
Xue Pan seemed to have guessed Xiao Han's thoughts, and glared at Xiao Han with a blush, then picked up the little dress she had just embroidered to show off: "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Xiao Han cheered up, looked carefully at the crooked embroidery on his clothes, and said "sincerely".
Xue Pan didn't see Xiao Han's perfunctory behavior. When he saw it, he looked at the children's clothes in his hand with joy, and even made gestures on Xiao Han's body. It seemed that he wanted Xiao Han to wear it for her.
Xiao Han's eyes followed Xiao Yi, and he felt goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly said: "How is it? What did you eat today? Did you follow the recipe I ordered from the master?"
"Yes! I just drank some bone soup and ate some vegetables!"
When it came to eating, Xue Pan, who had been happy just now, immediately became discouraged and pouted his mouth and said: "But I want to eat meat, roast duck, and beggar's chicken!"
"no!"
When Xiao Han heard this, he refused, but after seeing Xue Pan's pitiful appearance, his heart softened and he said: "Didn't you just eat meat yesterday? Be obedient! Now you can eat one meal of meat a week, and after giving birth,
My child, whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you! Don’t dare to eat too much greasy food now. If the child grows too big in the belly, it will be in trouble during delivery. "
