said that Xia Hongsheng was urged out of the study by Yan Shigu, and it is estimated that Yan Shigu wanted to discuss the matter of movable type printing with Kong Yingda, but if he discussed, he had to drive himself out, could it be that these two old men were good friends? !

Xia Hongsheng slandered while looking back and forth, he was still the first time to come to Guozijian, thinking that this is the Ministry of Education in the future life! As a rural teacher, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to be in the Ministry of Education, wahahaha!

was thinking about it in his heart, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side: "In Xiaolin, Xialanling, this is Xia Hongsheng from Luanzhou?" ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see a young student standing there, very respectful and polite, but the expression on his face was not as kind as his attitude at all, his brows were slightly furrowed, with some scrutiny, quite provocative.

Lanling? surnamed Xiao, that is the Lanling Xiao family, one of the Shandong Shi clan.

"It's Xia Hongsheng down here, and I've seen Brother Xiao." Xia Hongsheng bowed back.

But I saw that the student gave a salute again, and said: "I have heard of Brother Xia's name for a long time, and I have heard that Brother Xia is talented, Lin has come to ask for advice today, and I hope that Brother Xia will give advice." ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes opened, and he was a little unclear. What is this man going to do? Coming to ask for advice?

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head in confusion, thinking that he was too idle, and he had nothing to do when he was full. It's like, you are walking on the street, and suddenly a person appears in front of your face and says to you, I heard that your martial arts are good, but I don't accept it, so the two of us have made two moves, which made Xia Hongsheng cry and laugh.

"This ...... Brother Xiao, you and I don't have any holidays, right? Xia Hongsheng asked.

The student nodded, and said very naturally: "Naturally, I have no grudges with Brother Xia in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future." ”

Xia Hongsheng was very funny, so he said again: "Why is that brother...... Well, what about this? ”

"There is no him, I just heard that Brother Xia is talented, so I came to see it. Is it really as rumored? Although the scholar almost wrote three words of disagreement on his face, his attitude and demeanor were still very polite, and the etiquette was also in place, although it was a little abrupt. But it doesn't seem arrogant at all.

Look, this is quality!

Although Xia Hongsheng looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is a mature soul who has been in the workplace for many years, so in his eyes, the scholar's actions are trivial things that only children do, just like junior high school students fighting for who is the boss in school.

It was Xia Hongsheng who didn't take it to heart. Just to tease him, he asked, "Oh? I don't know what Brother Xiao wants to ask? ”

"Poetry and songs, a subset of scriptures and history." The scholar's face was slightly pale, and he opened his mouth and said.

Xia Hongsheng smiled in his heart, deliberately made a look of sudden realization, and said in a very kind tone: "Oh, I am also a student in the next place, these problems, if the brother has doubts, you need to ask for clarification." It's better to ask the Venerable Master. By the way, Master Yan and Master Kong are both in the study inside, and Brother Tai still goes to ask them for advice, and he will definitely be able to open his suspicions! ”

"Uh......" The student didn't expect Xia Hongsheng to be wrong about him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was stunned.

Xia Hongsheng was about to laugh in his heart, he deliberately pretended not to understand the scholar's words, deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, and secretly changed the concept, and the scholar didn't know how to speak.

"There's no doubt about it. I want to see Brother Xia's ability! The scholar steadied himself and said again.

Xia Hongsheng snickered again in his heart, and suddenly said, "I see! But this brother, you want to see what I can do. Not here. If Brother Tai really wants to see my ability, then wait for the next thing, go to the army with him, and let the 800 soldiers under him practice for Brother Tai to see, so that Brother Tai can see what he is capable of! ”

The scholar was stunned again, and subconsciously asked, "Eight hundred soldiers?" Extremely. Why are there 800 soldiers? ”

Xia Hongsheng is happy, he dares to love a master who only knows how to read and doesn't care about current affairs! So he replied with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that Brother Tai doesn't know, in the next is the right Yu Lin Wei to fold the commander, of course there are 800 soldiers under his command." ”

"Huh?!" The scholar was taken aback, looked at Xia Hongsheng stunned for a while, suddenly gritted his teeth, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some homework to do, so I left first!" Summer, Xia Duwei farewell! ”

With that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

"Hahahaha......" Xia Hongsheng finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud after the scholar left. This scholar's eyes are quite lively.

"Jingshi, what are you doing? Laughing so happily? Just after Xia Hongsheng laughed, Yan Shigu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Xia Hongsheng's laughter immediately stopped abruptly, and he quickly turned around and bowed.

But seeing that Kong Yingda was similar to Fang Cai's Yan Shigu, he walked to Xia Hongsheng in a few steps, raised his hand and patted it on Xia Hongsheng's shoulder, and said with a smile while patting: "Okay, good!" It is rumored that Xia Hongsheng is not only talented in literature, but also proficient in the way of things, and he is indeed worthy of his name, and his name is well deserved! Hahahaha...... Let's go, come with the old man! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in walking forward, Xia Hongsheng raised his head, and saw Yan Shigu nodding at him and motioning for him to follow.

The three of them hurriedly went out of the Guozijian, boarded Yan Shigu's carriage, and stopped in front of a courtyard not far from the Guozijian.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw many people inside, some of them were stereotyped, some were mimeographed, and they were busy one by one.

"Your Excellency!" When everyone saw the three people coming in, they quickly stopped what they were doing and bowed down.

"No need to be polite, you guys are busy!" Kong Yingda waved his hand and said. At this time, someone had already hurriedly run out of it, and when he came to the three of them, he bowed respectfully.

Yan Shigu smiled and said to Xia Hongsheng: "This is Xie Zuojian, Jingshi, quickly inform him of your method." ”

Xia Hongsheng obeyed the order, and then handed over the method of movable type printing to Xie Zuojian, when he heard it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he bowed down and said: "A few adults, let's find a few craftsmen who are good at carving seals!" ”

With that, he immediately turned around and ran to the back, and soon, seven or eight people came behind him.

"These are the craftsmen here who are good at carving seals!" Xie Zuojian said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and even thought of a short article, asking them to engrave the seal word by word, and told the craftsmen about the size of the engraved seal.

"My lord, we are very skilled in this engraving, please wait a while, we are eight people, the number of words in this thing is not much, just wait a few hours for the adults to carve it out!" The craftsman who looked the biggest in the middle of the year arched his hand and said to Xia Hongsheng and the others, then waved his hand back and shouted: "Go, work!" ”

Kong Yingda and Yan Shigu really had too much expectation for movable type printing, and after listening to the words of the craftsman, they were not ready to leave immediately, and planned to wait here all the time, waiting for those craftsmen to see the effect after completing the engraving.

If the two bigwigs don't leave, Xia Hongsheng, as a student, will naturally not be able to leave, so he can only accompany Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda to wait.

As he spoke, he saw Yan Shigu get up and walk over to the side of the desk, write something down with a pen, then walk back with a paper, sit down and hand it to Kong Yingda. Xia Hongsheng, who was sitting next to him, stretched his neck to see if what was written on it was Hanyu Pinyin!

"What is this?" Kong Yingda looked curiously at the pinyin on the paper: "Ghost drawing symbols? ”

Uh, Xia Hongsheng had a black line on his face.

Yan Shigu smiled and didn't explain, just pointed to one of the pinyin and read out the pronunciation of pinyin. Then he pointed to another pinyin, read it out, and then said to Kong Yingda: "The two I just read, Master Kong, and try the spelling together?" ”

Kong Yingda didn't know why, so he spelled out the pronunciation that Yan Shigu had read together, and spelled out a hole, and then saw Yan Shigu nodding and writing a hole under it.

"This ......" Kong Yingda looked at Yan Shigu in surprise.

Yan Shigu said with a smile: "This is pinyin, just now what I read is syllables, and the fixed syllables are combined for phonics, and the pronunciation can be determined." ”

"This, this is rhyme?!" Kong Yingda was taken aback.

Yan Shigu nodded: "Yes, it is a new rhyme method, which is easier to learn than "Cut Rhyme". Just memorize these pinyin syllables, and you can easily know the sound rhyme later. ”

Xia Hongsheng watched from the sidelines and felt itchy in his heart, but the two of them didn't ask, and he couldn't go over and say that it was his own, so he could only watch Yan Shigu explain the pinyin to Kong Yingda on the side. When he arrives, he hopes to talk to Kong Yingda himself, so that he can speak more clearly, if you want to promote pinyin, Kong Yingda, the minister of education of the Tang Dynasty, can't nod his head.

“…… This method is also what Jingshi thinks. Yan Shigu said to Kong Yingda with a smile.

"What?!" Kong Yingda was stunned, turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng, and Xia Hongsheng hurriedly gave a respectful salute. After a long time, I heard Kong Yingda sigh faintly as if she had woken up: "God bless the Tang Dynasty......"

Xia Hongsheng slandered in his heart, God will not bless, but brother!

A few hours passed in a hurry, Xie Zuojian finally appeared with those engraved seals, Xia Hongsheng gave a demonstration to the two, selected a sentence from that article, and then picked out those words from the box of engraved seals, and after arranging them, he said: "Look, this is the selected word, fixed with an iron plate below, and then this is a 'engraving', which can be used for printing." ”

As he spoke, he pressed the engraved seals on the paper with his hand, and a vertical line of fly-headed small letters jumped on the paper.

It was getting dark, and there was a laugh of excitement and joy in the room. (To be continued.) )
