Chapter 141 The Dean's Return
Zhongnan Academy is already in its second semester. Dean Bai Fan is working on business and has not shown up for several months!
Before, the suicide note incident caused a huge uproar, and Bai Fan's reputation plummeted. Later, the misunderstanding was resolved. A song I am your eyes came out. The academy students' admiration for the dean has reached a new level. Not only are they talented in poetry and books, but they can even be called role models for music and love!
When the students learned that Bai Fan was finally going back to the academy, the students were in agitation!
Mr. Li Gang smiled and nodded. It is a good thing for children to like and support the dean. Bai Fan is definitely worthy of the saying of heroes this time!
So he took Qin Shubao, 120 college students, and even the academy craftsman and chefs to welcome Bai Fan!
"Hey, look, that's the dean's four sisters! Wow, it's so beautiful!" a young student whispered.
"That's right? I heard that they have been living in the academy all the time, but they don't show up. If it weren't for today, we would probably not have seen each other!" Someone followed suit!
Cheng Huaimo turned his head and scolded, "Don't treat what the Master taught me! What are you talking about in private? Master is back today, this is how you welcome him?"
Regarding this veritable senior brother, the people in the academy really dared not show up and replied weakly, "Senior Brother, I know I'm wrong!"
"Look, the dean is back!" a very young child shouted!
Sure enough, a four-wheeled carriage with a unique appearance gradually appeared in people's sight!
The carriage slowly stood at the entrance of the academy. Bai Fan first opened the door and walked out from inside. Looking at the group of familiar faces at the entrance of the academy, looking at the familiar buildings behind them, he felt a sense of peace of going home in his heart!
He opened his arms and shouted to the sky, "Zhongnan Academy! Bai Fan is back!"
Everyone in the academy shouted in unison, "Welcome the Dean's return!"
For these children who have lived in the academy for half a year, the academy is already their second home. For Li Gang and Qin Shubao, the academy may be their place to live in the future!
For Bai Fan, the academy is his home in the Tang Dynasty and the place where his dream begins!
Walking off the carriage, Bai Fan was about to come forward to say hello to everyone, but who knew that he was rushed over by four petite figures, and they rushed towards Bai Fan like a titty swallow, calling their brother!
Looking at these four sisters who are often ignored by him, Bai Fan felt a little guilty, but fortunately, the sisters did not blame him!
After hugging them one by one, they asked them to go to the carriage to accompany their sister-in-law Li Wanping!
Li Wanping's eyes were inconvenient, so Bai Fan did not take her out of the car!
He walked up and saluted Li Gang and Qin Shubao, "Brother Wen Ji, Brother Shubao! Thank you for your hard work for a long time when you leave the academy!"
Li Gang smiled and said, "What are we here compared to you, the hero of the Tang Dynasty?"
Qin Shubao patted Bai Fan's shoulder and smiled, "What did you say? This academy is also our academy, and we are also the masters of the academy! Your dean is a busy person, so we should take good care of the students!"
Bai Fan nodded and looked back at the students. He saw one of the people immediately kneeling down on the ground!
Bai Fan wondered, what is he doing?
The leader was Li Chengdao. The ones who were kneeling beside him were all those who heard that Bai Fan was notorious and went home impulsively!
"Master, I don't understand the truth. After the master's accident, I left the academy in anger and even humiliated the master. I apologized for my master today!" Li Chengdao shouted!
"Please punish me!" everyone shouted in unison.
"You are all students of the academy. It is normal for you to leave impulsively without knowing the truth. If you are all scheming, then what are you still studying in the academy? You have already started a teacher!
Get up quickly! If Bai Fan can teach you to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil through personal practice, it will be worth it even if you do it again!" Bai Fan smiled and pulled Li Chengdao and his students!
"But... but if we don't respect our teachers, we should be punished!" Li Chengxun refuted.
Li Gang smiled and said, "Bai Fan often said that everyone should apply what they have learned. The sage said that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no greater good!
It is said that those who do not know are not guilty. You can just recognize your mistakes. The punishment is just to let you remember this lesson and not commit it again next time!
It's not in this form!"
Everyone saluted Li Gang, "Thank you for your teachings!"
Bai Fan stood in the middle and said loudly, "Fan has been away for many days and is so tired that everyone is concerned about it. I am so grateful to you here! Now go back to the academy first, and wait for me to arrange everything today and hold a celebration in the academy tomorrow to celebrate!"
The students cheered. Although everyone didn’t know what a celebration was, since it was the dean’s idea, it must be a very interesting thing!
Cheng Huaimo shouted loudly from the side, "Master, why don't the master's wife come out and let us see you? Your name as the love saint of the Tang Dynasty is well-known! Disciples want to imitate you!"
Bai Fan really wanted to go up and kick this guy, just like his father, and now he is getting less and less regular, and he is just making jokes!
Seeing the students making excuses, Master Li Gang couldn't stop drinking, but Bai Fan had no choice but to carry Li Wanping off the carriage and meet everyone!
Everyone saluted respectfully. Although the master's wife was blind, her deeds had spread throughout Chang'an. Everyone was admiring this holy figure like a fairy from the bottom of their hearts!
After arranging a group of family members, Bai Fan called Qin Shubao and Li Yuanba and ordered them to go into the mountain to dig out a huge rock of 10,000 kilograms and place it in the middle of the academy!
Bai Fanze and Li Gang began some planning and preparation!
The next morning, Bai Fan summoned everyone in front of the academy gate. At this time, two big red silk on both sides of the academy gate were covered by two pieces of big red silk. Everyone was curious. It turned out to be two giant pillars, so why are they covering them with red cloth now?
Bai Fan stepped forward and pulled off the red silk, revealing the contents on the pillars. This was prepared by Bai Fan and Li Gang overnight!
There was no literary form like couplets during the Tang Dynasty. After Bai Fan and Li Gang finished explaining it, Li Gang was very interested!
As a couplet at the gate of the academy, it demonstrates the purpose and spirit of the academy. Bai Fan specially invited Li Gang to write this couplet!
The first couplet is: The sound of wind and rain sounds and the sound of reading is heard!
The second couplet is: All matters and family affairs in the world are concerned about everything!
As the secret was unraveled, one hundred and twenty students couldn't help but recite it in unison! After reading it once, I felt that it was not enough. Although this sentence was simple and easy to understand, it seemed to contain a deep meaning, which always made people feel that they were still unfinished and very intriguing!
The older the students, the deeper they understand this sentence!
Bai Fan stood in the center and explained to the students what a couplet is and what this couplet means. Then he came to the front of the huge rock in the middle of the academy, which was also covered by a huge red silk!
This time, Li Gang and Bai Fan unveiled at the same time!
This was carved by Bai Fan using his stone carving skills overnight. It was a short paragraph of text, but every word was gem!
Establish a mind for heaven and earth!
Make your life for the people!
Keep your unique knowledge for the past saints!
Bring peace for all ages!
"Zhongnan Academy was built for inheritance. We inherit the wisdom of our ancestors in China and should fulfill our obligation to defend the Chinese people!
A couplet outside the door is what you need to do when entering our academy. You should study hard, use our wisdom and strength to defend the country, protect your family, and protect the Chinese people!
The purpose of the academy’s academic research is carved on this stone tablet! Every member of the academy needs to remember it!
Establish one's own self with this! Act with this! Establish one's virtue with this!"
Chapter completed!
