Xie Yinxiang was wearing a wisteria-colored dress, with a white jade hairpin tied in her jet-black hair.

She said softly: "Master Hao said that the date of leaving the apprenticeship that has been set cannot be changed at will just because he is sick alone."

"Nuoer, you also know that Master is the most trustworthy."

Gu Nuo'er nodded: "The apprenticeship banquet will start a while ago, I'll go see him first."

Xie Yinxiang nodded: "Master Hao is in the backyard, saying that he is watering the trees."

Gu Nuoer turned to the backyard.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, he saw Master Hao with gray hair, carrying a bucket, watering the lush trees.

And this tree was planted by Gu Nuoer's grandmother Chi.

Master Hao supported his waist with one hand, and was struggling to carry the bucket with the other.

Gu Nuoer stepped forward with a smile and took it directly: "Master, rest, let me come."

Master Hao turned his eyes and saw that it was the princess!

He continued: "No way, don't take over the princess, this bucket is quite heavy."

While he was talking, Gu Nuoer had already bent down and poured a bucket of water on the roots of the big tree.

"Look, it's not over yet. Although she is a woman, she also has strength. Master, don't worry." Gu Nuo'er put down the wooden barrel and smiled brightly.

Master Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Princess and the Queen Mother have some similarities."

"The Empress Dowager also once said that even a woman should read and practice calligraphy, see what landscapes are like, and know how to write the word home and country, instead of being blindly trapped in the boudoir."

Gu Nuo'er supported Master Hao, who was over seventy years old, and walked to the side of the stone table to sit down.

"My grandma has a bright and decisive personality, and she is indeed not inferior to men."

Master Hao nodded and looked at the lush tree.

He was filled with emotion: "More than 50 years have passed in a flash. At the time, this tree was still a small sapling. In a blink of an eye, it has already covered the sky, providing shade and shade for generations of students."

Gu Nuo'er sat next to him, her slender eyebrows curved and her dark eyes bright: "The predecessors planted the trees and the others enjoyed the shade, we are just like this little sapling, taught by the master, and grow into a tree that covers the sky and the sun, even if we leave the Chinese Academy of Sciences. , we will also protect the people in various fields."

For the heaven and earth, for the sake of life, for the people, for the sages of the past, and for the sake of peace.

This is what Master Hao often talks about.

Gu Nuo'er's words made Master Hao's nose sour and his eyes reddened.

He nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, Princess, you are really a clear person. This old man is seventy and three years old this year, and you are my last batch of students."

"After this apprenticeship banquet, I have reached the age and can no longer continue to teach in the National Academy."

"Since I was nineteen years old when I took the imperial examination in high school, I was assigned to teach in a national school. More than fifty years later, the little tree grew up, and I got old."

Having said this, Master Hao stroked his beard and chuckled, showing a sense of helplessness and reluctance.

Gu Nuo'er blinked lightly: "Master, don't worry, we can't bear you, and will definitely visit your home from time to time. If you are unsure of many things at that time, I will ask you again!"

Master Hao looked at the green tree with a kind smile.

He said in a trance: "Thinking about it now, I haven't lived in vain. At least the students I teach are fair, selfless and innocent."

When the spring breeze passes, the leaves touch and sway.

The sound of clattering brought Gu Nuo'er's memory to when she first came to the Guoxue University.

It turns out that time really flies through the gaps, and people are caught off guard.

The stern Master Hao had also become a gray-haired old man.
