The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 237

[Chapter 237 Help them remember]

“Yes, Master.”

Bai Xiaochun got the order and turned to leave. 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 I need a piece of paper that is big enough and hard enough to make a kite.”

Bai Xiaochun was slightly startled when he heard this instruction.

Kite?

Why did the young master suddenly think of making a children’s toy like a kite?

And ordinary paper should be enough to make a kite, why does shopkeeper Lu Sulu need to make larger and harder paper?

Although he was doubtful, his 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, just do it well.

So he said respectfully: “I understand, young master, I will come back as soon as I go.”

After saying that, he turned around and left Fang Mansion.

In fact, the trip lasted only half a day, and it was not until evening that Bai Xiaochun returned to Fang Mansion with a cart of bamboo.

As for the paper Fang Xiu ordered, it will take some time to get it out. After all, Zhuxuanzhai is just a bookshop and is not responsible for making paper.

In the capital, there are special workshops responsible for papermaking, and the quality of the paper produced 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 structure is the most stable and is not easily blown away by the wind.

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

Bai Xiaochun stood aside, watching the young master busy with these bamboos, and couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.

The young master is so versatile, he even knows how to make things like kites.

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

Finally, after working for a whole day, the kite frame that Fang Xiu needed had been made.

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

The area of the kite is so large that even the spacious backyard of Fang Mansion can hardly accommodate the kite’s frame.

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

Compared with ordinary paper, this specially made paper is composed of several sheets of paper. In this era, it can be regarded as a high-tech technology.

In order to prevent the paper from being blown apart by the strong wind when flying at high altitudes, the middle part of the paper has been specially thickened.

Fang Xiu was slightly surprised when he saw the paper and was very satisfied with this.

Of course, now that we have the stand and the paper, the next step is to put the two together and make a real kite.

Looking at the papers covering almost the entire backyard, Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on his face, and he ordered Bai Xiaochun beside him: “Take the four treasures of this young master’s study.”

Bai Xiaochun was slightly startled when he heard this.

When did the Four Treasures of the Study appear in the young master’s house? This was the first time he knew about this 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 yard and go to the master’s study to find a set of brushes and inkstones that had been covered with dust.

Xiu’er took the pen, ink and inkstone and naturally began to study the ink.

After almost half a stick of incense, Fang Xiu reached out to take the brush and began to draw on this huge piece of paper.

There is no doubt that Fang Xiu’s painting method is the simple painting 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 pen did not stop. Instead, he drew two pig-headed figures next to the handsome young man.

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

But if you look carefully, you will find that the left sleeve of the handsome young master is empty

. The figure Fang Xiu painted on the kite is the famous pig-headed young master in the capital.

Although the pig-headed master is now imprisoned in the dungeon of the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen by Xia Yixue, he is still in Fang Xiu’s heart.

As a good friend of Young Master Yang Ming, how could Fang Xiu bear it and watch the legend of the Pig-headed Young Master be forgotten by the people in the capital.

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

Beside Fang Xiu, Bai Xiaochun couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw the content painted on the kite.

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

The son of a dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites has a bright future. As long as he takes part in the imperial examination, he will definitely be able to enter the imperial court and become the envy of countless people.

However, in just a few months, he became a miserable prisoner. One of his arms was cut off by his own young master, and he was remembered by the people in the capital as a pig-headed young master.

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 happened to make such a big kite

. It is conceivable that as long as this kite is successfully flown in the capital, in the next few days, the streets of the capital will be buzzing about this man who once caused a sensation in the entire capital and was spurned by countless people. The pig-headed boy.

How can this be summed up in one word? It’s simply too miserable!

However, he can only blame himself for all this. To use an idiom, it is his own fault.

If he could be the son of his own Minister of Rites with peace of mind, take part in the imperial examination with peace of mind, and stay out of trouble as expected, how could he possibly offend the young master?

If he hadn’t provoked the young master, how could he have fallen into this situation?

He can only blame himself for everything. He acted too arrogantly, relying on his identity, and didn’t know how to restrain himself, let alone relax.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaochun was suddenly stunned.

Therefore, he suddenly discovered that his young master seemed to be similar to Yang Ming, who was treated extremely miserably by him!

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

The young master has done everything Yang Ming has not done, and he has done it even more excessively than him!

But why is the young master’s life becoming more comfortable day by day?

For a moment, Bai Xiaochun was confused and couldn’t figure out the reason at all.

A moment of incense passed, and Bai Xiaochun stood aside, quietly watching the young master drawing on the kite, and suddenly understood something.

The reason why the young master will succeed is all because of one thing,

that is, the young master did these things!

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

The reason why Yang Ming and himself cannot become young masters is also because of this.

If the young master behaves and he can think things through, then wouldn’t he also be able to become a person like the young master?
