The new building passed the emperor's inspection, and the military academy immediately began to be built. Li Shimin requisitioned thousands of people to go over, and Yan Lide personally stayed at the construction site of the military academy all day long, personally supervising these people to carry out construction. In the past, those craftsmen on Xia Hongsheng's Zhuangzi have now become consultants of the military aircraft workshop, becoming the foremen of every construction site, leading those people who don't know what to do to build the building of the military academy. And Xia Hongsheng's real-life sand table has also been done, and it is now being placed in the military academy. Judging from that sand table alone, it was something that had never been seen before.

There are those familiar craftsmen on the construction site to lead the work, and Yan Lide personally supervises it, but Xia Hongsheng's affairs have become less and less. I lived a leisurely life of going to the construction site of the military academy every day, going to the military aircraft workshop for a turn, and going to the East Palace every other day to sit for a while.

Today is the day of going to the East Palace, Xia Hongsheng accompanied Li Chengqian in the East Palace to listen to Li Gang's lectures all morning, and when he finished class, he respectfully handed over a manuscript to Li Gang.

"Master Li, this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written to the return of the three families, and it should be time to end." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Gang: "When this book arrives here, it will be over." Please also take a look at it! ”

Xia Hongsheng handed over the manuscript, Li Gang took it with a smile, and said while unfolding it: "Hehe, the old man has really been waiting for a long time this time, there was a military school before, the old man expected that you should be busy, although he was very anxious, but he understood that business was important, and it was not easy to urge. ”

Li Gang unfolded the scroll and looked down.

This Li Gang read the novel. didn't say anything to let Xia Hongsheng and Li Chengqian go first. So these two people can only sit and wait here. I've been waiting for a long time. I heard Li Gang's long sigh, and then said: "Alas, what a romantic character, that Zhuge Liu Guanzhang is all dragons and phoenixes among people, Cao Mengde is a generation of heroes, and Wuzhong Sun is not an idle generation. Clinker is the elusiveness of providence, several generations of effort, but in the end it has achieved the Sima family, it really fulfilled the opening sentence of 'right and wrong, success or failure', the world at that time, and now An cares? The green mountains are still the same, the rivers are still the same, things are not people, and they have been panicking for hundreds of years, all of which have become a joke! ”

"yes. Time goes to people, compared to the passage of time. It's just passers-by. The past has passed, and the future has not come, so I and other ordinary people, just live in the present, there are talented people in the country, and there are many romantic characters, or we still have to look at the present! Xia Hongsheng nodded, bowed down and said to Li Gang,

Li Gang nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Jingshi can see it clearly." It's just that this romantic character, the old man is no longer there! This Datang belongs to His Majesty, and it is also for these young people, how prosperous this Datang can be in the future, and how long it can go, after all, it still depends on the people at that time! Hehe, the green mountains are still there, a few degrees of sunset red, it is better to have a pot of turbid wine, a little laughter! This book is really a strange book of the world, I want to publish it in one line, and the name of Jingshi is spread all over the world! The old man will hand over the scroll to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jingshi, please take care of yourself. ”

"Congratulations to Master Li!" Xia Hongsheng and Li Chengqian bowed and sent Li Gang away.

As soon as Li Gang left, Li Chengqian immediately turned his head to Xia Hongsheng and said, "Did you promise Changle anything?" In the past few days, Changle has always come to ask me if I have seen you. I wonder if you two are hiding something from us? ”

"What is there to hide, what is there to hide?" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "It's not the last time I went to see Your Majesty, I met Princess Changle, and I saw them playing badminton - do you know badminton?" ”

"I know, Changle and they play all day long." Li Chengqian nodded: "It is said that you did it to please Xu Hui?" Hmph, my stupid sister is in vain, and I don't know what kind of medicine you have poured into me! ”

Well, Xia Hongsheng picked up a small package and said: "That day, I met Her Royal Highness the princess playing badminton, and was pulled to play a few games, and Her Royal Highness the princess asked me to make her this kind of thing that can not only exercise the body, but also play." I've been busy with the affairs of the military academy for this time, so I've been delayed. I have been idle for the past few days, so I hurried back to Zhuangzi to make a trip, and I specially brought it today, and I am about to ask you to give it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly took the small package handed by Xia Hongsheng and opened it, and saw that there were two round wooden boards wrapped in it, followed by a cylindrical handle under the wooden board, and there was also a distant ball, which he took out and pinched, made of cork, but he didn't know what it was for, so he asked again: "Jingshi, what is this, how to use it?" ”

"It's called table tennis, but you can't play it here." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Chengqian: "You have to bring two four-square tables outside, looking for a few bricks and stones, and I will teach you how to play with this thing." ”

Li Chengqian is still not very old after all, and when he heard that he was going to learn how to use this to play, his interest was much higher than that of listening to Li Gang's lecture just now. Twisting his head back, he said to the waiter: "Did you hear me, take what Xiahou said and prepare!" ”

The waiter responded, bowed and saluted, and then hurriedly went outside to prepare, just walked to the door, but heard Li Chengqian stop him: "Wait, go and call Princess Changle too, just say that Xiahou brought something to her!" ”

After the waiter went out, Li Chengqian came over and said to Xia Hongsheng: "After all, this is what you made for Changle, it is better to call her over." This girl is already estimated to have waited for discouragement. ”

The two came to the courtyard outside, and soon a few East Palace guards came over carrying a square table. Speaking of this kind of table, it also came out of Xia Hongsheng's house, before everyone knelt and sat on the desk, the stool was only a low beard, and it was only in Xia Hongsheng's house that there were such high tables and chairs, and later there were more people who went to Xia Hongsheng's house, and felt that this thing was more comfortable than the case.

Xia Hongsheng asked the guards of the East Palace to put together the square table and the fields together, and then asked them to erect a row of bricks and stones in the middle. A simple table tennis table, that's it. That's it for the time being, and then go back and find someone to make an iron net, and then find a few craftsmen to come over and build a ping-pong table with cement.

Since Li Chengqian called Li Lizhi to come, Xia Hongsheng simply waited for Li Lizhi to come before teaching them how to play table tennis.

After a while, I saw Li Lizhi appear, but there was a little kid behind him, with a look of disgust looking down on anyone, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Tai.

Li Li's face was like a peach blossom, red fluttering, and there were still a few beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, she hurriedly walked over, and when she arrived, she asked very happily: "Young Master Xia!" You, did you really bring something?! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, handed over the things in his hand to Li Liqing, and said, "Originally, this thing was not difficult to do, but I have been busy with the construction of the military academy recently, so it has been delayed." Now that the construction of the military academy is on the right track, I finally got a little free, so I made this thing. ”

"Thank you Xia Gongzi!" Li Lizhi was very happy to take the table tennis ball made by Xia Hongsheng and looked left and right.

Xia Hongsheng looked at them, so he said: "Okay, this thing is called table tennis, I'll teach you how to play." Like badminton, the two of them play together. This wooden paddle, one for each person, each standing on one side. ”

Xia Hongsheng took one for himself and gave another one to Li Chengqian, and then the two stood on both sides. Xia Hongsheng explained while telling several people about the playing style and rules. Soon, a few people knew how to play and began to practice.

Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi brothers and sisters practiced, Xia Hongsheng watched by himself, and suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were pulled, and when he looked down, he saw Li Tai standing beside him and hooked his fingers.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, bent down and leaned over: "What are you doing?" ”

"Just now when I came with Sister Changle, I met the queen mother." Li Tai said to Xia Hongsheng: "The queen mother knew that you were going to give something to Sister Changle, and then she smiled very much. ”

Belch...... Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly asked, "Did the queen mother say anything?" ”

Li Tai shook his head: "You take me to see the kind of wall that can't be smashed with a stone thrower, and I'll tell you again." I heard my father tell my mother about it, saying that you built a wall that was only one foot thick, and a dozen or so people took a long time to smash the crack with a sledgehammer! It's true? ”

"Nature is true." Xia Hongsheng nodded.

"Then you take this king to see!" Li Taichong Xia Hongsheng threatened: "Otherwise, this king will tell the queen mother that you made something specially for Sister Changle!" ”

Hey you bear kid!

"Smack!" Xia Hongsheng slapped Li Tai's head and patted it: "What are you arrogant about?" Even your brother doesn't call himself the king in front of me, when will it be your turn?! ”

"You dare to hit me!" Li Tai's mouth was deflated, and he was about to sniffle immediately.

Xia Hongsheng pinched his fat face and pulled it, like a gummy, and said, "Don't make a sound!" Do you want to see it? ”

"Yes!" Li Tai immediately returned to normal and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then you tell me what the queen mother said first." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Tai: "I will take you to the construction site this afternoon to have a look, so that you can see the magic of Gewu!" ”

"That's what you said, don't go back!" Li Tai confirmed very solemnly.

Xia Hongsheng nodded.

"The queen mother didn't say anything." Li Tai said to Xia Hongsheng: "Just smiled and left." But you have to be careful, because if the queen mother laughs like that, someone will suffer! (To be continued......)
