The happy life of a prodigal

I just told Xiu'er about going out for an outing and flying a kite.

Fang Xiu is a person who keeps his word, and he will definitely do what he says.

Although he has no experience in making large kites, he once taught some children during the summer vacation.

During this period, I learned a lot of manual work, including kite making.

Of course, that was a long time ago, and the kites I made were only very simple kites.

However, Fang Xiu believes that as long as he has enough raw materials and enough time, he will be able to research a giant kite that can fly in the sky.

He has always been a man of action. Now that he has thought of it, of course he will do it.

Waving his hand, he called Bai Xiaochun to him, Fang Xiu said, "Xiaochun, take someone out of the city to chop some bamboo..."

In fact, there are many bamboos in the capital, but most of them are planted by some scholar-bureaucrats and scholars.

After all, bamboo has a very special meaning in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats in this era.

Although Fang Xiu had nothing to be afraid of these scholar-bureaucrats, he had to admit that if they caused trouble, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, he had no choice but to make Bai Xiaochun troublesome, and went to the suburbs to chop bamboo.

No matter what, those scholar-officials can't control the bamboo in the suburbs...

Chapter 237 Help them recall

"Yes, sir."

Bai Xiaochun got the order, turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, Fang Xiu called him back.

"Wait a minute, when you come back, stop by Lu Si and tell him that Master Ben needs a piece of paper that is big enough and hard enough to make a kite..."

Bai Xiaochun was slightly taken aback when he heard this order.

Kite?

Why did the young master suddenly think of making a child's toy like a kite?

And ordinary paper should be enough to make a kite, so why do shopkeeper Lu Silu make bigger and harder paper?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, the experience of being with the young master for so many years told him.

You don't need to know the reason for what the young master ordered, let alone ask the reason, as long as you do it well.

So he said respectfully: "Understood, young master, I will return as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left Fang Mansion.

In fact, this trip took half a day, and it was not until night that Bai Xiaochun returned to Fangfu with a cart full of bamboo.

As for the paper that Fang Xiu ordered, it will take some days before it can be taken out. After all, Zhuxuanzhai is just a bookstore, not in charge of making paper.

In the capital, there is a special workshop responsible for papermaking, and the quality of the paper made by Zhuxuanzhai is far inferior to theirs.

Therefore, Fang Xiu had to use these bamboos to study the deconstruction of kites.

According to common sense, the triangular kite has the most stable structure and is not easily blown away by the wind.

Therefore, Fang Xiu built the bamboo into a triangular shape.

Bai Xiaochun was on the side, watching the young master busy with these bamboos, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

The young master is really versatile, he even knows how to make kites.

In fact, Fang Xiu knew nothing about kite manufacturing, so he could only verify the reliability of the kite structure through experiments over and over again.

Finally, after a whole day of work, the kite stand Fang Xiu needed was made.

The structure of this kite is the most stable triangle. Of course, there are countless small triangle brackets in the middle of the triangle.

The size of the kite is huge, even the spacious backyard of the Fang Mansion can hardly accommodate the kite's shelf.

At the same time, Lu Si also sent someone to deliver the paper Fang Xiu needed.

Compared with ordinary paper, this kind of specially made paper is composed of several sheets of paper, which can be regarded as a high-tech in this era.

In order to prevent the paper from being broken by the strong wind when flying at high altitude, the middle part of the paper is specially thickened.

Fang Xiu, who saw the paper, was also a little surprised, and was very satisfied with this.

Of course, with the stand and the paper, the next step is to integrate the two into a real kite.

Looking at the paper that almost covered the entire backyard, Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something, with a smile on his face, he ordered Bai Xiaochun beside him, "Bring me the four treasures of my study."

Bai Xiaochun was slightly taken aback when he heard that.

When did the Four Treasures of the Study appear in the young master's room? It was the first time he knew about it after following the young master for so many years.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it at all, so I had to leave the courtyard, go to the master's study, and find a set of dusty brushes and inkstones.

Xiu'er took the brush, ink and inkstone, and began to study ink naturally.

After about half an incense stick, Fang Xiu reached out to take the brush and began to paint on the huge piece of paper.

There is no doubt that Fang Xiu's drawing method is the stick figure he used when making Kongming lanterns for Xiu'er and Zhao Yan.

A few simple strokes perfectly outline the image of a handsome young man.

However, Fang Xiu's brush didn't stop, but drew two pig-headed characters beside the handsome young man.

The two pig-headed figures were next to the handsome young man, looking very funny.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the left sleeve of Mr. Pianpian is empty...

That's right, the character Fang Xiu drew on the kite was the well-known pig-headed son in the capital.

Although, the pig-headed son has been imprisoned by Xia Yixue in the dungeon of the Yamen of the capital, but he is still in Fang Xiu's heart.

As a good friend of Mr. Yang Ming and Mr. Yang, how could Fang Xiu have the heart to watch the legend of the pig-headed Mr. being forgotten by the people in the capital.

Therefore, after developing this giant kite, the first thing I thought of was naturally to help the people in the capital remember the legend created by the pig-headed son in the capital.

Beside Fang Xiu, Bai Xiaochun's mouth twitched when he saw what was painted on the kite.

Even he couldn't help but start to sympathize with Yang Ming at this moment.

The young master of the Minister of Rites has a bright future. As long as he takes the imperial examination, he will definitely enter the imperial court and become the envy of countless people.

However, in just a few months, he became a pathetic prisoner, one arm was cut off by his young master, and he was remembered by the people in the capital as a pig-headed son.

The worst thing is that after a while, although he has not been released from prison, the people in the capital have almost forgotten him.

At this time, the young master just made such a big kite...

It is conceivable that as long as this kite is successfully released in the capital city, in the next few days, the hot topic in the streets of the capital will definitely be this pig-headed son who once caused a sensation in the capital and was cast aside by countless people.

How can this be summed up in one word, it is simply...too miserable!

However, all of this can only be blamed on himself, and to use an idiom to describe it is his own fault.

If he could be the son of his Minister of Rites with peace of mind, and take the imperial examinations with peace of mind, and he would not cause trouble if he did his duty, how could he possibly provoke the young master.

If he hadn't offended the young master, how could he have fallen to where he is today...

At this point today, he can only blame himself for everything. He acted too arrogantly, relying on his own identity, he didn't know how to restrain himself, let alone relax.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaochun suddenly froze.

Therefore, he suddenly discovered that his young master seemed to have the same effect as Yang Ming, who had been made miserable by him!

The young master has done almost everything that Yang Ming did back then.

The young master has done things that Yang Ming has not done, and he has done more than him!

However, why is the young master's life getting more comfortable every day?

For a moment, Bai Xiaochun was stunned, unable to figure out the reason at all.

After a stick of incense passed, Bai Xiaochun stood aside, quietly watching the young master draw on the kite, and suddenly understood something.

The reason why the young master will be successful is all because of one thing...

That is, these things are done by the young master!

The reason why the young master is the young master lies in this place.

The reason why Yang Ming and himself could not become the young master was also because of this.

If the young master acted and he could figure it out, wouldn't he be able to become a person like the young master?

Chapter 238 How could this be so!

After a long stick of incense, Fang Xiu's giant stick figure was finally completed.

Fang Xiu stood up from the ground, looked down at the stick figures on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction.

If it wasn't for the dark sky, no one would be able to see clearly even if the kite was flying up. Fang Xiu wished he could fly this giant kite over the capital right now.

Now, he no longer has much interest in outings, but has a great interest in kites.

People like him are always so lonely and always so boring.

Even finding an interesting thing is so gratifying.

He went back to his room and slept, and when he woke up the next day, Bai Xiaochun and a few guards from the Fang Mansion were already standing outside the courtyard, waiting quietly.

As long as Fang Xiu gives an order, the kite will be transported out of Fang Mansion.

Fang Xiu took one last look at the kite lying on the ground, waved his hand, and said enthusiastically, "Let's go!"

............

South of the city.

On a large open space in front of the Beijing Normal University Theater, hundreds of passers-by gathered at this moment.

Their gazes looked at the middle of the open space, where a huge kite lay quietly.

Several burly guards carried the kite.

In addition, there was a strong fat man who stood in front of the kite and tied the string holding the kite around his waist.

Beside them, a Pian Pian young man in a fine attire was looking at them with a look of anticipation on his face.

Finally, following the command of the handsome young man, the burly fat man started to run forward.

As he ran, the kite behind was also pulled up, and in an instant, it rose into the sky.

Beside, a passerby who was passing by saw this scene, backed a few steps in fright, resisted the urge to turn around and run away, leaned over, looked at it, and asked, "What is this thing?"

In front of him, a scholar who had been here for a long time looked back at him and replied, "Kite..."

"Kite?"

The man was slightly taken aback, and then a shocked expression appeared on his face. He looked at the giant UFO that was flying higher and higher, almost level with the sky, and murmured: "There is such a big kite?"

Except for the common people in the square of the Beijing Normal University Theater.

In the entire capital, especially the area near the south of the city, many people saw this huge kite soaring into the sky.

The performance of most people is not as good as the one who was scared by the kite and almost fell down.

Some people even thought that some mythical beast appeared, dragged their children, and hid in the house.

Even the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture was alarmed by this incident.

Xia Yixue personally led people to trace the origin of this UFO.

Of course, Xia Yixue was the only one who really acted. The other police officers all found a place and hid themselves.

After all, such a big thing is still flying in the air. They are just mortals, so they really can't afford to provoke...

The commotion lasted only a short while.

After all, the shape of the kite made by Fang Xiu has not changed much. After calming down, many people will immediately recognize the UFO in the sky after they calm down. It turns out that it is just a kite.

It's just that this kite is much bigger than the one in the child's hand.

People are always afraid of the unknown, but once they understand it, this fear will decay extremely quickly.

In less than a stick of incense, many people dared to walk out of their rooms, walked to the street, and looked up at the behemoth in the sky.

After all, this is a rare spectacle once in a thousand years!
