The cold comes and the summer goes, and the white horse passes through the gap.

Bai Wenli made Bai Tan an idle prince, and whenever he entered the palace, he would call out a group of little radish heads, all bouncing around, chattering and laughing around Bai Tan, coaxing him to lean forward and backward.

Bai Wenli immediately asked: "Third Uncle likes them very much? Why don't you take one home to raise? How about Little San, Little Four and Little Five are not bad, but it's really not good, and Little Six and Little Seven, um, they're just too young It’s a little bit, it’s not easy to discipline.”

The tone of selling Chinese cabbage made Bai Tan dumbfounded, he said: "Wen Li, I understand what you mean, don't be afraid that I'm too lonely, I write books and teach classes, and occasionally I can grow some flowers and plants, which is quite interesting of."

Seeing Bai Tan's self-satisfied appearance, Bai Wenli couldn't persuade him anymore. After all, life is his own. As for the taste of it, he just knows how warm he is drinking water.

When Yun Jiuxiao just died, the Bai family admired him as a man, and at the same time felt guilty, so they couldn't talk to persuade Bai Tan, but as time went by, year after year, Bai Tan still couldn't let Yun Jiuxiao go, he was always alone, the Bai family looked at him He was alone, alone, and his heart ached. With the help of Bai Wenli, he put the portraits of all the young men and women of the right age in Rongping City in the Baitan Study Room, no matter if it was a delicate and lovely young woman, or an angry horse in fresh clothes. There is no omission of any of the young gentlemen, and it can be said that the city is full of spring scenery, gathered here.

It's a pity, even if this is the case, Bai Tan didn't even look at him, and continued to walk alone, coming and going, and the Bai family also saw that Bai Tan was determined and could not be shaken anymore, so he was a little disheartened, and in desperation, even endured Can't stop asking Bai Wenli to come out.

After Bai Wenli returned home, a letter came from the old house of the Yun family in Huainan. It was written by Yun Chenghu. This is enough. In the future, even though he is a beautiful wife and concubine, he can be as chic and happy as he likes. If his son knows it underground, he won't say anything.

Bai Tan didn't take it seriously when he heard it, and thought to himself that Old General Yun doesn't necessarily know his son very well. With Yun Jiuxiao's eccentric temper and love of jealousy, if he really gets close to others, Yun Jiuxiao's lungs will explode No.

Not long after, news came again from the Yun family in Huainan, saying that a concubine in Yun Chenghu's backyard was pregnant. She was pregnant in October and gave birth to a baby boy. Some people habitually praised the baby boy who had just landed for his good looks, and his eyebrows and eyes looked like Yun Chenghu.

In the midst of laughter and joy, Yun Chenghu suddenly burst into tears, and said angrily, "I look like a fart! This way, he looks very much like his brother, my eldest son who died early..."

Many years later, Bai Kai, Ji Qiurong and others were getting older. Ji Qiurong was injured by an arrow when he was young, and his foundation was damaged. In a severe winter, he couldn't stand it any longer. Ten years older, he passed away not long after.

Bai Tan is nominally the younger brother of the two, but his affection is like father and son, mother and son, and he personally took care of them for several months, but in the end none of them was kept.

The house became even more deserted, and the garden lost the care of the mistress, and it quickly fell into desolation. It looked bleak with withered branches and yellow leaves.

Bai Wenli was afraid that Bai Lin would fall in love with the scene, so he brought his old father to the palace to take care of him. At that time, Bai Tan was already in his 30s, and he was approaching the end of his life. People secretly criticized, and gradually began to guess about ghosts and gods. As close relatives, Bai Wenli and Bai Lin were naturally 1 people who didn't believe it.

For this reason, Bai Wenli also severely reprimanded some courtiers for lax housekeeping and conniving housewives to talk about the royal family, thus suppressing the raging rumors.

Bai Tan understood that it was time for him to leave.

Over the years, Bai Tan devoted himself to the education industry. Not only did he earnestly teach in Baihe Academy, but he also gave Bai Wenli many suggestions, such as how to divide the school year and the school system, how to select a group of teachers with good conduct, and wrote a lot of them by himself. Readers, standardized textbooks and tutorials, and compiled books such as "Educator's Theory" and "Teaching Law", which are necessary reading materials for teachers to get started and form an assessment mechanism. With cynicism, he formulated a complete set of content for women's studies, set up women's schools, encouraged women to study wisely, and sought other values ​​besides husband and child.

After a series of efforts, the problems of confused age of students, different qualifications, tutors who only follow the scriptures, ignorance of teaching methods, scarcity of textbooks, and hard to find books have been effectively improved.

However, Bai Tan still had obsessions, so he was reluctant to leave this world. Regardless of Bai Wenli and Bai Lin's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, he took Yun Jiuxiao's ashes, simply packed his luggage, and embarked on a long journey.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how beautiful the beautiful mountains and rivers that Yun Jiuxiao fought to guard with all his flesh and blood were so beautiful.

Bai Tan stopped and stopped, traveled all over the country, crossed mountains, and crossed the northern region, scattered Yun Jiuxiao's ashes everywhere, let him know that he loved the country with his life, and now the wind has stopped and the rain has stopped, Haiyan and Heqing.

White sandalwood witnesses the unity of the emperor and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the common people are united and hardworking. On the ruins, tall buildings are built little by little. The state of the shelf.

Sometimes, Bai Tan would also meet some orphans without father and mother, or abandoned babies who were placed on the side of the road. Then, after a short while, kind-hearted people would come forward and take them to the nursery hall sponsored by the imperial court. .

In order to commemorate the founding general Yun Jiuxiao and not forget the national heroes, except for some babies with name tags in their infancy, the rest of the children will be registered according to the surname "Yun". Tell them the stories in the history books, in order to cultivate the children's spirit of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and defense of the territory. At the same time, tell them that they are now happy, stable and peaceful, and they must learn to be grateful.

Bai Tan gave himself a pseudonym, and occasionally helped out in the nursery, and left after a few years, or persuaded the villagers to raise funds to set up schools in remote and backward villages with poor educational resources.

Thanks to Bai Tan's creed of "Educating people is the foundation and talents are the foundation of the country" that Bai Tan repeatedly instilled in Bai Wenli, the Great Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to education. As long as they have the ability, they must let their children read and write. Moreover, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty , as long as the population of the village meets a certain requirement, Li Zheng can come forward and apply to the government to build a school. The imperial court will provide a certain amount of support in terms of human and financial resources. It is just to let the villagers understand that the school is hard-won, and everyone has poured their blood and sweat into it, so that they can learn to cherish and love.

After the school was built, Bai Tan would often voluntarily stay there to teach. After finding a suitable successor, he would decisively go to the next place. He intentionally left some of Yun Jiuxiao's ashes and hid them in his purse. Reminiscing and spending lonely cold nights.

In order not to let his secrets be leaked, and be regarded as a monster by the simple village neighbors and burned alive, Bai Tan carefully planned his itinerary, never staying in the same place for more than ten years, hiding his identity and hiding his tracks.

Many, many years later, Bai Tan taught in a small town called "Luoshui".

One day, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was suddenly pushed into the school. This boy was wearing a silver-red cross-collar gown, with a shiny golden collar around his neck. He had round cheeks, big eyes, and distinct With a cute and pleasing appearance, but with an arrogant and indulgent expression, he put his hands on his hips angrily and cursed: "No copying! No copying! You dare to let me copy books, do you know who my father is?"

Bai Tan didn't hesitate at all, and said with a smile: "You don't even know who your own father is, so how would I know?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, and he still didn't realize it. The other children in the school had followed Bai Tan to read for a while, and all of them looked smart and quick-witted. The tone of speech just now.

The little boy was very embarrassed by the smile, his face was on fire, and he said angrily: "You, you don't know my father, you should have heard of my brother's name, he, he is General Yun Jueyun! You don't know him How powerful, let me tell you..."

My surname is Yun...

Bai Tan's smile deepened, and he leaned over and patted the young boy's head, "The Yun family does not produce bad children. I have heard about your brother's deeds, but what does this have to do with you?"

"This, this..." The young boy was at a loss for words, and racked his brains but couldn't figure out how to refute.

Bai Tan said pitifully: "Look, this is the consequence of not studying, so, do you still want to bully your classmates and talk back to your teacher in class?"

The little boy was shaken for a moment, his eyes touched the densely packed words in the textbook, and he didn't know where he came from, and shouted: "Why do you care about me? You are just a poor teacher. My home is in Rongping City, the mansion of a dignified first-rank official." , it’s wide, you country bumpkin, I’m afraid you’ve never seen it in your dreams!”

Hehe, what a pissed off kid.

The brats that Bai Tan has cleaned up over the years can circle the big three times hand in hand. He has rich experience. Hearing the words, he said flatly: "I have seen it. Not only have I seen it, but I have also lived in it." It is said that it is a first-rank official, that is, the current sage, if he sees him, he might say "old ancestor".

Soon it was time to end school, Bai Tan asked the other children to leave first, and he spent time with the young boy, and said casually: "If you say it ten times, it will be ten times, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish copying it!"

Seeing that the white sandalwood was soft and hard, the little boy wouldn't eat it, and the oil and salt wouldn't enter, he gritted his little tiger's teeth angrily, rolled his eyes, took advantage of Baitan's inattention, and took advantage of the opportunity to get out, and ran out sullenly, saying proudly : "Master, I won't listen to you, you blabbering country bumpkin! Poor bastard!"

Before he could get out of the gate, a tall and handsome young man in black clothes stood there, grabbed the young man firmly, twisted his long eyebrows that flew into his temples, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Qi! How do I teach you on weekdays? How can you talk to Mr. like this, don't know how to respect the teacher, see if I don't smash your ass!"

He lifted Yunqi with one hand, raised the other hand, and slapped Yunqi mercilessly several times, until Yunqi howled and begged for mercy.

Bai Tan took a step behind, happened to listen to the conversation between the two, smiled, and admired Yun Qi's miserable appearance, and waited until the black-clothed youth hit ten times before persuading him: " That's enough, young master, Yun Qi still hasn't finished copying the book ten times, so she can't go to school, please wait a moment."

The young man in black raised his head, and the two looked at each other, both of them stayed there, not knowing what was going on and what was going on for a moment.

Until the little boy Yunqi fell to the ground and said pitifully: "I'm hungry, I have to go home to eat first, and then copy books when I have time."

Bai Tan came back to his senses, and subconsciously replied with his high professionalism: "No, you have to finish writing before you can eat. This is punishment."

Yun Qi pulled the sleeve of the young man in black and begged, "Brother..."

Unexpectedly, the young man in black grabbed Yun Qi by the collar and sent her directly to the classroom, saying coldly: "What are you dawdling about, didn't you hear what you said, sir? Write it quickly!"

Yun Qi yelled: "My buttocks are so swollen from your beating that I can't even sit. How do I write?"

The young man in black said unmoved: "Then just stand and write. Don't worry. When will you finish writing and when will you go home?"

As if being struck by lightning, Yun Qi shouted: "I hate you! I'm going to find my mother and see if she doesn't scold you severely!"

The young man in black sneered: "If you don't finish writing properly, it will be useless for anyone who comes, and the same is true for mother. Her second trip is to recuperate at her grandfather's house. If you are not afraid that mother will be angry at you when she finds out." When you vomit blood, you go and sue!"

Yun Qi was silent for a while, and finally died down. While crying, she honestly copied the book with those words.

It is spring and March, when the mud melts and the sand is warm, swallows fly low, plantains are green, peach blossoms are scorching, and a branch of pear blossoms protrudes from the corner of the wall, with little raindrops, so pure and charming.

Yun Jue stepped to the yard, Bai Tan was still standing there, with his back to him, silent, his figure was thin and slender, like a zhilanyu tree.

That inexplicable, fateful weird feeling came again...

Yun Jue walked over, walked around in front of Bai Tan, and asked hesitantly, "Where did I see you before?" Eyelashes, bright peach eyes full of sadness and melancholy.

Ah, why when he saw Yun Qi crying, he just wanted to beat her up hard, but when faced with the young man's teary eyes, he was so sour, he wished he could cut open his heart and show him...

After a long time, Bai Tan finally choked up his sobs, and with a soft and gentle voice, he complained softly, "Yun Jiuxiao, are you blind? How come you have climbed for 79 years on this journey from hell to the world?"

Yun Jue: "...?!"

He couldn't quite understand what Bai Tan was saying, but it didn't matter, this didn't affect Yun Jue's heart softening, and with guilt and pity in his eyes, he said obediently: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

I'm sorry, I'm late, I left you alone in the world, let you wait alone for so long, I won't do it again.
