Come on, Your Highness

I just lay down for a short time, but when I closed my eyes, I was called up and hurried on my way again. Not to mention these four dudes, even the scholars couldn't help showing the tragic feeling that I was about to die.

Reluctantly opened their red eyes, looking at the blue and black under each other's eyes, a kind of friendship called sympathy for each other was completely sublimated in one night.

It's not easy for everyone!

"Young masters, it's time to hand in your homework." Ah Fu's smiling face appeared at the door of the four rooms one by one.

Several people picked up the manuscripts on the table at the same time, staggered out of the room, and after gathering in the corridor, they found that everyone was the same, and instantly showed a wry smile of sympathy.

"Brother Zhu, are you done yet?" The other three young masters asked with concern when they saw Mr. Fuguo.

"Thanks to these brothers and sisters, I finally won't hand in a blank paper, so I should be able to pass the test, right?"

Mr. Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, "I am also, the scholar in the same room doesn't seem to have a bad temper, he is not bad, he is too busy, and they all go crazy and want to hit the wall, but they are distracted to help me look, that's funny. "

Mr. Zheng also nodded, "You mean, I didn't understand the "Analects" when I was studying, let me translate it, alas, it's better to kill me. The three of them each have a paragraph, I just listen to it and write it. Hehe, I was the fastest in the end, so I was too embarrassed to go to bed first."

Hearing this, Mr. Wei was most proud: "You guys are not as lucky as me. You Ziqing and another scholar didn't get involved in the quarrel, and He Xichao didn't give them homework. It is reasonable for them to go to bed earlier, but neither of them helped me. The other scholar helping the rest, I dare say, our house is the first to turn off the lights."

"Hey, that's really polite."

The four of you talked to each other, and the perception of these scholars changed instantly.

"Don't worry, our brothers in the car will cover them."

On the other side, the scholars were sighing.

"These four are a little stupid, but they are still obedient, saying and writing a sentence without making any fuss."

"Yeah, if we continue to quarrel, our homework can't be finished."

"By the way, look at the test papers. The three of us in the same room have different test papers. How about you?"

As they spoke, they began to look at each other, and then...

"Brother Fang, you wrote this..." The scholar holding Fang Jun's paper looked embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "Calligraphy is getting better and better, but I just can't understand it!"

Fang Jun took it back and looked at it, and his face was struck by lightning. He looked at the flamboyant handwriting in shock, and was stunned, "I wrote this?"

It's so scribbled that I can't even read it!

"You didn't write it, could it be someone else helped? Who has so much free time!"

"It's over, it's over, hand it in, Mr. He will definitely criticize me, and I probably won't make it through." Fang Jun was about to hit the wall in frustration.

At this time, another person said with a mournful face, "Brother Fang, we have to be together, and I can't read the words clearly."

"And me, I'm just making fun of others, and I'm not much better."

"Three papers, how can we work slowly and meticulously as usual, you can't even read these words."

Luo Li's unique stuttering voice came, "Then, then you say... Hey, can you, sir, let us pass?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant silence.

After finishing their homework, they are arrogant and energetic, and the wind is blowing under their feet. They are the four young masters who are very energetic. Suddenly, there is no sound behind them. Looking back in wonder, all the scholars' faces look like the sky is about to fall. The despair, filled with deep sadness.

"Isn't the homework all finished? What's the matter?" They couldn't help but looked at each other.

With one night's love in the same room, the four of them asked kindly, saying that as long as it was not about academic matters, they were willing to help.

You Ziqing and the two scholars had nothing to worry about and had no debts, so they explained briefly.

Immediately, the four of them said "Hi", and said indifferently: "What are you doing, show us...ah, isn't this handwriting pretty? Look at this...you...longyou...you What's going on..."

"You Yun startled the dragon." You Ziqing sighed.

"That's right, that's right. It looks like it was written by a great calligrapher. It looks good and can be framed." Mr. Zheng asked the other three, "Isn't it?"

"That's necessary. Those poets always have to get drunk before writing poems, and then we all have to recite his poems. If we can't recite them, we will be beaten."

As soon as Mr. Wei's words came out, the other three immediately resonated.

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said: "You said that whether he writes poems or not is none of our business, why should he memorize them? I don't think it's so good."

"That's Li Bai, the Poet Fairy." Everyone was completely speechless at the ignorance of these four people.

"Oh, it doesn't matter if he's a poet or a poet, you rush homework late at night, your eyes are red and you're drunk, it's the same." Mr. Zheng patted the nearby scholar on the shoulder and handed him his homework, "Brother, You are already very good, look at ours, if He Xichao can see what he wrote, count him in!"

That's pretty proud, huh?

"Besides, we all saw your crazy appearance last night, and the pen has never stopped. Are your hands sore? If you want us to say, He Xichao assigned too much homework, too much."

These four people also followed suit.

It's a pity that the scholar who put the cup on his shoulders shook his head, "It was us who were wrong first and made the husband angry. We should be punished no matter what, but we can't just make excuses for ourselves because of limited time and lack of energy. I regret it now." , why not be more respectful, this word is really unsightly."

"Our knowledge is not good, and we can't be compared with those who are favored by the heavens. A person as glorious as Mr. He is willing to spend time giving us advice, and even entrusts us with important tasks. I don't know how many others are envious! We have no hands The strength of the chicken, compared to you, is actually more of a drag, but it doesn't matter if you don't know how to be grateful, you are still proud and complacent, and your behavior is biased, I really..."

He didn't continue what he said, but what the scholar said still made everyone around him bow their heads in shame.

Some saw the manuscript in their hands, frowned, and said angrily: "How can you use this kind of thing to defile Mr.'s eyes? It's better to destroy it. Please punish me again!"

The excitement came up, and the paper was about to be torn before the words were finished. Fortunately, Mr. Zheng was close, so he quickly grabbed it.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing! Let He Xichao see if it's good or bad. If he speaks, it's not too late for you to tear it up!"

"Yeah, it's not easy to write all night. Are you worthy of the two black coal balls hanging on your face?"

"But……"

"No, but I said to hand in homework, but why are you all here sighing and sighing? You scholars like to be surprised. Go see He Xichao first. Don't worry, we will speak well for you."

"Anyway, I'm not lazy, if I really want to be punished, you just admit it."

The four sons dragged and pushed a few scholars forward, joking, if these scholars can't pass the test, wouldn't they be even more ruined.

Outside the post station, the guards were repacking boxes and getting on the train.

In the room, the 16 people stood obediently in front of He Xichao with their heads bowed, only to hear the sound of pages turning.

He Xichao didn't speak, just checked quietly, but this quietness made people's heart pounding.

After a while, He Xichao put down these manuscripts, put them aside, picked up his teacup, and asked casually, "Do you think I should have given this homework?"

"Here, we have tried our best, Mr. Xiao, I have never written so many words in my life." Mr. Zhu spoke on behalf of the four of them.

It caused the other three to nod repeatedly, "It's about to break your hand!" As they spoke, in order to show their credibility, they lifted their wrists limply and shook them, "It's still sore."

"You have to take a good rest." He said it with real meaning.

He Xichao ignored them and glanced at the 12 people on the other side.

Several people glanced at each other, Shu Yu bowed and said: "I am ashamed, Mr. Ren punishes me."

He Xi raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "In that case, I won't read it, I will take it back and do it again, and I will be fined three more papers, when will I finish it, and when will I hand it in by myself. appeared in front of me."

As soon as this remark came out, the scholars suddenly looked pale and nodded hurriedly, "Yes." But they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"As for the four of you..." He Xichao rubbed his chin, his brows were troubled, as if he didn't know what to do with them.

"Let's do this, reading is a bit more demanding for you, so we'll take care of the book and endorse it. Before His Highness leaves Jiangdong, just memorize the Analects of Confucius to understand its meaning. Go back and have an explanation with your grandparents." That's it, how?"

It will take several months to control the water, and it is not difficult to put some thought into a mere copy of "The Analects of Confucius".

The four of them were actually reluctant, but when they thought of the grateful scholars who received the six-chapter paper, they immediately resigned to their fate.

Ah Fu walked in and said to He Xichao: "Master, the outside is almost ready."

He Xichao nodded, glanced back at these people, and said with a smile: "It seems that you all got along very well last night. Since you are already living in the same room, let's arrange it like this from now on. Four young masters, take care of your colleagues. They are so busy that they don’t eat, drink, or sleep. The four of them have been appointed as dormitory heads, and they should take responsibility.”

When He Xichao said this, everyone was shocked.

"Do you still want to live like this?"

"Let these four dudes manage us..."

Everyone murmured in low voices, but He Xichao's decision was unquestionable, "Okay, let's all go back and pack up quickly, and we'll be leaving right away. Those who want to change roommates can apply with me privately. It's only for three days. After that, No matter if someone talks in their sleep, grinds their teeth, snores, or smelly feet, they won’t be replaced.”

The water of the Songjiang River is surging to the east.

Xiao Hong wanted to go all the way down the Songjiang River to the embankment in Kuiliang County, but unexpectedly, there was no way.

"Your Highness, here are all cliffs, you can't go there, you have to take a detour to the official road." The two county magistrates left a small official to guide Xiao Hong and the others, who is said to be very familiar with the road conditions.

Xiao Hong raised his hand to stop the convoy. There are many hills in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is normal for them to be blocked by mountains suddenly.

But he asked: "Where did it go after going around, and how far is it from the dam?"

The little official replied: "The official road connects Kuiliang County. When you reach Songjiang, you have to go up a certain distance to see the dam."

Xiao Hong was wearing a straw hat and was playing with a horsewhip in his hand. He looked at him playfully under the sun without saying a word.

The little official was very uncomfortable being stared at by him, sweat dripped from his forehead, he didn't know if it was from the heat of the weather, or he was feeling weak.

"Boy, for the crime of deceiving the king, the nine clans should be punished. If you deceive the king, you will have to destroy the three clans. Who else is there in the family?"

When the little official heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness, the villain did not lie to you, it is indeed difficult to get through here, we all go like this."

On this hot day, the carriage was driving fine, but once it stopped, it would be suffocatingly stuffy.

He Xichao lifted the curtain of the car and asked, "What's going on in front?"

Xiao Xuanzi said: "Young Master Xichao, please wait, I will ask you."

After a while, Xiao Xuanzi came back, and told the car window: "Master Xi Chao, the guide said that this road is not passable, if you take a detour, you will go directly to the bottom of the dam, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the situation upstream of the dam."

He Xichao then got out of the carriage, Ah Fu quickly opened an umbrella, and he headed for the carriage behind.

Many carriage doors were opened for ventilation. He walked all the way to Master Tao and Master Fan, and saw the two masters holding several pictures of Songjiang waters and looking carefully at them.

"It shouldn't be..." He heard Master Tao say that.

Xiao Hong looked coldly at the little official who was kneeling on the ground, "You can't make it through, is it because the mountains and people can't get close, or is there someone who won't let you pass?"

The little official's back was soaked instantly.

"What did Master Tao say?" He Xichao asked.

Master Tao took a topographic map from Master Fan, put it together with the water area map in his hand, and said, "Master He, please take a look. Although the topographic map shows that there are mountains here, they are not high. Compared with other places, It's just a small mound, and it's easy to go around. After the Songjiang River passes through this mountain, there are no mountains. Looking at this water area map, there are small tributaries of the Songjiang River after this mountain, which are widely distributed. It stands to reason that this place It's suitable for farming, so it shouldn't be impossible to get in, bypassing this mountain, you can go directly along the Songjiang River to reach the dam."

Master Fan also said: "Although this picture has been sealed for more than ten years, the mountains and waters have not changed for a hundred years or a thousand years, so the changes will not be so great, unless..."

"Is it artificial?"

The two masters smiled.
