Bright Spring

Qi Tai calmly pointed to the books on the table and asked, "What book is Xianning reading?"

Gao Xianning picked up the booklet and handed it over: "Scientific translation of various countries, it is said that it was created by Yao Fang." When he said this, he smiled.

At this moment the servant came in and served tea.Gao Xianning waved his hands to let the idlers wait out, then leaned over and said in a low voice: "The student has known Yao Fang for not a day or two, and he suddenly became a writer of books and lectures. It's really strange."

"Yao Fang..." Qi Tai also pondered for a moment, then looked up at Gao Xianning, and the teachers and students exchanged glances.Qi Tai quickly said: ""Since Yao Fang wrote it, he has his own reasons. "

Gao Xianning said with a smile: "The teacher is right."

He went on to say: "Students are also diligent in their business on weekdays, but today they have to practice for Yao Fang, and they are going to be on duty earlier, so they are not in the lobby."

"Yao Fang is leaving Beijing?" Qi Tai asked.

Gao Xianning said: "He is going to Tsushima Island. Yao Fang has no official position now, so he doesn't need to submit a memorial, but he told his sister Concubine Xian. He regarded me as a good friend and told me too. I ordered it at Zuixianlou A table of wine and food is counted as his farewell. Is your teacher interested?"

"That kind of place, forget it." Qi Tai said seriously.

"Teacher, please have some tea." Gao Xianning said.

The two of them were silent for a while, Qi Tai finally told Gao Xianning roughly about today's face-to-face meeting.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xianning pondered for a while after hearing this, but said: "What the Holy Majesty said is indeed a bit strange, but at first thought, it seems to have some truth."

Qi Tai frowned and said, "If the common people go to weave silk, who will farm it?"

Gao Xianning thought for a while and said, "Teacher, think about it. If a family grows two mu of land or five mu of land, the harvest may be similar. Besides, isn't there food from Annan, Champa, Siam and other places?"

Qi Tai said: "What if the sea route is broken?"

Gao Xianning clapped his hands and said: "Now the eunuchs and nobles are happy, who would dare to cut those sea ships? Once the sea divisions are cut down in the future, they already have the habit of supplying food, and the capital is afraid that they will run out of food."

Qi Tai pointed at Gao Xianning and sighed, "The sages' books you read didn't go into your heart."

Gao Xianning smiled and said: "Menshi Mingjian, the sage books didn't say this. Besides, the student is just a scholar, thanks to the famous teacher."

Qi Tai was speechless, seeing Gao Xianning's smiling face, he could only say, "Where did you get this book?"

"Shouyu Sinan Office, teacher interested? I will give this copy to my teacher respectfully, and the student will ask Qian Xun for another copy." Gao Xianning immediately said generously.

Qi Tai flipped it up.

Gao Xianning said enthusiastically: "This book is very interesting, it actually says that the earth is round."

"Round?" Qi Tai was stunned for a moment, "Then why don't the people below fall?"

Gao Xianning said: "It's a long story, but it sounds wrong at first glance, but it seems to make sense when you look at it carefully. Teacher, let's take a look. The student thought of a way instead of going back to the original place in the same direction as the book said. .If at the same moment, the sun's position on the ground is different, it may prove that the ground is really not flat."

Qi Tai was a little confused.

Gao Xianning gestured and said: "The method is very simple. Dig the same well in the capital and the Chengdu mansion, and look at the light and shadow at the same time, and you can see the difference. You can make several similar hourglasses for timing, and transport two or three of them to Chengdu. to go to the house so that we can watch the movie at the same time."

Qi Tai was noncommittal, he didn't understand this matter, so he got up immediately and said: "I'm going back to the Yamen, aren't you going to practice it for Yao Fang?"

Gao Xianning hurriedly said: "It is inconvenient for the student to stay with you. Send it to your teacher."

"Stay here." Qi Tai said, "You and I are both high-ranking and powerful now, don't be called teachers and students in front of others, it sounds like forming a party."

Chapter 784 Congliang

"Brother Gao, I know that kind of place should be quite expensive. Is the salary of a third-rank official high?" Yao Fang asked curiously in the carriage.

Gao Xianning said indifferently: "How about the salary, Brother Yao has also been an official, so he should know. However, the King of Shu will ask people to send some gifts from time to time, and I have a lot of money now."

Yao Fang stared after hearing this, and then said, "Thank you brother Gao for treating me as a brother, don't worry, I just pretend I didn't hear."

Gao Xianning smiled and said, "Your Majesty also knows, I said so."

Yao Fang was speechless immediately.

The two came to Zuixian Building and entered a spacious suite. Two plates of dried fruit, a plate of oranges, and wine pots and cups were placed in the middle, but the dishes hadn't been served yet.From the rear window, you can see the painted boats floating on the Qinhuai River, and there are small rest rooms with beds on both sides of the room.

It was noisy outside, and there were a lot of guests in this place next night, so Gao Xianning might have to spend a lot of money to book such a big place.

After a while, two women knocked on the door and came in. Yao Fang immediately felt that they were really beautiful.They are not like those prostitutes with heavy make-up on the streets and alleys. Their clothes, their gestures of holding hands, and the way they walk are more like concubines raised by wealthy people. Their smiles and frowns are very interesting; A woman from a good family is much more exposed.One of them is the most seductive. It is covered by a light red gauze robe on the outside, but the bare shoulders and the plump skin above the tube top are faintly visible, and the walking is like the waves of the water.

After the two women saluted, the beautiful and seductive woman glared at Gao Xianning, and said coquettishly: "I heard that Mr. Gao went to Fule Courtyard recently, what good is there in the old courtyard?"

Gao Xianning said: "To be honest, the people over there are not as good as Miss Bu, but they are fresh."

"It's really heartless, hum!" Miss Bu said softly.

Gao Xianning said to Yao Fang: "This lady is called Bu Jinghong, she has been popular in Zuixianlou for several years. Miss Jinghong, today you have to take good care of my Brother Yao."

In addition, the girl was left out in the cold, and she didn't argue, she just smiled and listened, her eyes looked like she liked and admired Gao Xianning and Yao Fang very much.

Bu Jinghong glanced at Yao Fang, and immediately said, "Young Master Gao, you have a conscience. This little brother is so handsome and strong, and seems a little shy. Fortunately, I didn't call the young lady who just entered the industry, otherwise I would have to be beaten by my little brother." Brother is gone. Then the young lady is most likely to be fascinated by a person like my brother, just like my sister Xi Lianxiang."

"Where is it?" Yao Fang said a little uncomfortably.

Gao Xianning clasped his fists and said, "Miss Lianxiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xi Lianxiang lowered her eyebrows and said in a soft voice, "I made Mr. Gao laugh. If there is something wrong, please ask Mr. Haihan."

Gao Xianning praised: "That's very well said."

"My concubine is pouring wine for my little brother. I'm so shocked." Bu Jinghong said, leaning closer to pour the wine, rubbing his chest on Yao Fang's arm intentionally or unintentionally, and said softly, "Mr. Yao, don't feel sick. You just treat me as a close sister, let's just talk."

Yao Fang subconsciously dodged slightly.

Gao Xianning asked curiously: "Brother Yao doesn't like female sex?"

Unexpectedly, Bu Jinghong was amused, she covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and laughed.

Yao Fang said: "It's okay, it's just that just now, I suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to it. Ha, you can also see that I rarely come to this romantic place."

Bu Jinghong smiled, and immediately persuaded: "Don't think too much, little brother, a man has skills outside, why bother to stick to trifles? If little brother has no skills, how can he become Mr. Gao's friend?"

"You are really good at talking, you can praise both of us in one sentence." Gao Xianning smiled.

Yao Fang picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you Brother Gao for the banquet."

Gao Xianning said: "I wish Brother Yao a smooth journey on this trip."

The two of them drank a glass of wine, and the two girls heard that it was a farewell ceremony, so they poured another glass of wine, drank with Yao Fang, and said some auspicious words.At this time, some people brought in the dishes one after another.Gao Xianning said: "Miss Bu knows my preferences, this salted duck is my favorite."

He went on to say: "Ask Bu Jinghong to play a little song later, let's have fun. There is nothing wrong with her in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Yao Fang nodded and smiled, "Very good. If there were only you and my brother, it wouldn't be so interesting right now." After two glasses of wine, Yao Fang also felt more casual, and couldn't help but glance at Bu Jing again. Under the fair and plump skin under the collarbone, Hong felt that his heart was beating faster than usual.
