"Gently in the night, the stars are shining
Teacher's room is bright all night
Every time I walk past your window
The bright light shines on my heart
Ah ~ ~ ~
Every time I think of you
My beloved good teacher
A burst of warmth surges in my heart
Nurturing a new generation of hardworking gardeners
Tonight, the light is still bright
Painstakingly writing your teaching materials
My tall figure is reflected in your window
.....”
It was already late into the night, but Li Zexuan's room was still brightly lit. His figure bent over a few tables as he graded papers was reflected on the oil paper on the wall, making people involuntarily think of the nursery rhyme sung by the people's teachers.
Who said that he was always slacking off and not doing his job? Li Zexuan felt that he was very dedicated to his job right now! He had no choice but to be dedicated to his job. The weekend break was almost over, and Xu Hongzhi was still urging him to get more papers!
In the room, Xiao Xi finished grinding the ink and leaned over a small table at the side. She supported her chin and looked at her young master "working" there. Li Zexuan was handsome to begin with, and it was said that a man was even more handsome when he was serious. Now that he was marking papers and frowning from time to time, he looked even more charming under the soft candlelight.
"Young master looks really good when he is serious!"
Xiao Xi supported her chin and couldn't help but think. When she reacted, her cheeks quickly turned red.
"Eh? Amazing! Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this. Meng Wenhao is really going to explode this time? "
Li Zexuan didn't feel the flirtatious atmosphere at all. He also didn't notice that his servant girl had fallen in love with him. This fellow was still looking at Meng Wenhao's test paper and was still sighing.
The questions he had set for the weekly exam were quite difficult for the students from the school of mathematics. He had thought that they would be lucky if they could pass. If they could get 80 points, they would be considered excellent. He had never expected Meng Wenhao to make such a big news this time. Including the additional questions, Meng Wenhao had scored a total of 101 points, which was 10 points more than the second place, Bruiser. This was unbelievable!
"Young Master, it's almost midnight. You should go to bed early!"
When Xiao Xi heard Li Zexuan mumbling to himself, she instantly woke up from her fantasy. She hurriedly got up and cut the wick of the candles on the table as she asked with concern.
The Li family was rich, so naturally, they used high-quality white wax candles, unlike the poor families who still used oil seals. Not only were the candles dim, but they were also smelly.
"So fast! But we haven't even started to draw the map of the fleet heading south! "
Li Zexuan patted his head. When a person was working seriously, time passed too quickly.
"Forget it, I'll do it tomorrow. Staying up late will affect my work efficiency!"
There was no room for carelessness in the drawing of a sea map. He had to be extremely careful. With his current mental state, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to draw a perfect sea map.
"En, en, Xiao Xi will go and make the bed for young master now!"
"Eh? Xiao Xi, why is your face so red? "
"N-no, Young Master, you're talking nonsense again!"
Eh? It seemed that her little maidservant's thoughts were somewhat unhealthy ah! Then should he go with the flow and do something shameful? Li Zexuan expressed that he was very conflicted in his heart.

"Newspaper for sale, newspaper for sale! The freshly baked Datang Daily! Today's headline, Interesting Pavilion Workshop Creates Magical Nautical Artifact, No Longer Afraid of Getting Lost in Stormy Weather at Sea! Only 10 copper coins for a copy! "
It was difficult for the citizens of Chang 'an City to sleep in under normal circumstances. The sound of the morning drum in the morning was the first wave of "alarm clock". Not long after, the sound of the newspaper boys selling newspapers in the streets and alleys became the second wave of "alarm clock". Fortunately, there was a curfew in Chang' an City. The people basically didn't have a nightlife and generally didn't stay up late. They woke up early and gradually got used to the noise in the morning.
"Eh? Didn't it sell for 5 copper coins in the past? Why is it selling for 10 copper coins today? Are you trying to raise the price on purpose?! "
"Yes, yes! Why did it suddenly become 10 copper coins! "
"Isn't this cheating people?"
… … …
After the citizens finished their breakfast, they went to buy a copy of the newspaper as usual. In the end, they found out that the newspaper was selling for 10 copper coins. Instantly, many people couldn't bear it and shouted one after another.
"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, it's not what you think. The reason why the price of today's newspaper is increased is because there is a last-minute addition. The content of today's newspaper is equivalent to twice as much as usual. You can take a look. There are two copies of today's newspaper. Normally, there is only one copy. Naturally, it will be sold for 10 copper coins.
Please forgive us! "Seeing that he was being condemned by so many people in the blink of an eye, the newspaper boy hurriedly told them what Ma Zhou had told them in the morning. Only then did the crowd avoid a commotion.
"I see. It seems that I have misunderstood this little kid!"
"Yes, it used to be 5 copper coins for a copy. Today, it's 2 copies for 10 copper coins. He didn't raise the price maliciously!"
"I knew it. Don't you know who is the one who runs the Datang Daily? It's Lord Li. This is the God of Wealth. Why would he be greedy for your few copper coins? "
"Yes, yes!"
"Then, kid, give me a copy of the newspaper!"
"Give me one too!"
"Give me two copies!"
… … …
Reasonable people were still in the majority. After they recovered from their shock, they began to consciously line up to buy the newspaper.
"Two masters, this is the newspaper you wanted. But today's newspaper is 10 copper coins for a copy. It's said that the content is more than before!"
In a breakfast restaurant not far away, Feng Zhihua and Liao Xifan were drinking porridge. At this time, a waiter ran over and handed them a newspaper.
"Oh ~? Not bad, not bad. The newspaper used to be good, but the content was too little. Now, there is finally more content! "
Feng Zhihua's expression revealed a trace of joy. With their status, they would definitely not line up like others to buy the newspaper. Naturally, there would be a waiter willing to serve them. This was the charm of money! Feng Zhihua took the newspaper, then took out a string of money and threw it to the waiter.
"Here, it's your reward!"
"Thank you, master! Thank you, master! "
The waiter quickly bowed and thanked him. Then, he very consciously left quietly.
"Oh, I just finished eating. Let's see what's added to today's newspaper!"
Feng Zhihua said with a smile as he handed a copy of the newspaper to Liao Xifan.
"Yes, I heard from the newspaper boy that the Strange Interest Pavilion has made another nautical artifact. I don't know what it is, but I have to take a good look! Our fleet will be going to sea soon! "
Although Liao Xifan had not finished eating, he also put down his chopsticks at this moment, took the newspaper, and began to read it. After reading it, the two of them both felt that buying the newspaper today was really worth it!
Because half of today's news section was introducing nautical precautions, essential nautical tools, and the local customs of the small countries in the South China Sea. This was simply a travel guide specially prepared for the two of them!
