#21 - Xu Ming, why don't you try it?

Looking at this dull goose, Xu Ming couldn't help but rub his forehead.

How did this dull goose get here?

You didn't come with us this morning, did you? Could it be that you followed my scent?

And if you wander around like this and someone discovers that you're special, what if they cook you?

Even though Xu Ming doesn't know what kind of breed the Tianxuan Goose is, these kinds of rare and exotic animals are definitely something many people would want to eat, something that would be very nourishing.

"Is this goose yours?"

Xiao Mochi walked to Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan's side, smiling.

"Yes, sir, it's our Xiaobai~ Isn't it beautiful~ ~ ~" Qin Qingwan said proudly.

When Qin Qingwan saw Xu Ming raising a goose, she once thought about raising one herself.

But Qin Qingwan felt that the other swans weren't as good-looking as Xiaobai, so she gave up.

Anyway, Ming-gege's big white goose is also her big white goose.

"It is very beautiful," Xiao Mochi nodded.

"Sir, I'm sorry, Xiaobai was probably too bored at home alone and somehow found its way here. Please forgive us," Xu Ming jumped down from his seat and bowed to Xiao Mochi.

Xiao Mochi looked at Xu Ming and felt that he gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, with every move carrying a scholarly and literary air.

"Ming'er, there's no need to apologize. It just so happens that everyone is tired. Goose-xiong's arrival has added a lot of color to the academy," Xiao Mochi said with a smile.

"Goose, goose, goose!!!" The Tianxuan Goose flapped its wings outside the window in protest.

Qin Qingwan also pouted her little mouth: "Sir, what you said is not right. Xiaobai is female."

"Goose!" The Tianxuan Goose nodded.

"Sorry, sorry... I was being presumptuous. I apologize to Xiaobai-guniang." As he said that, Xiao Mochi actually gave a salute to the Tianxuan Goose.

"Goose~ (This goose forgives you)" The Tianxuan Goose crossed its wings akimbo and raised its long neck.

Xu Ming was a little surprised and puzzled in his heart.

What surprised him was that this sir actually knew his name.

What puzzled him was...

As a cultivator, Mr. Xiao, even though he didn't know how high his realm was, should be able to tell the difference between male and female, right?

"Everyone, since Xiaobai-guniang is here today, would everyone like to compose a poem to describe Xiaobai-guniang?" Mr. Xiao said to everyone.

A little girl with pigtails stood up: "But sir, isn't writing poetry something that adults do? We can't write poems."

Xiao Mochi shook his head: "The poem I'm talking about doesn't need to rhyme or follow any rules. Everyone can say whatever they want. Everyone has their own poem in their heart.

A graceful lady is a gentleman's pursuit, that is poetry.

The sun is scorching, and I'm sweating profusely, that is also poetry.

Adults have adult poems, and children have children poems.

Everyone has their own poem in their heart."

Xiao Mochi swept his gaze over everyone: "Does anyone want to try?"

As Xiao Mochi's words fell, everyone shrank their heads.

Some people wanted to try, but didn't dare to raise their hands.

"How about..." Xiao Mochi looked at Xu Pangda in front of him, "Pangda, why don't you give it a try?"

"Ah?" The little fatty stood up abruptly, his fat trembling, causing others to laugh.

Xu Pangda scratched the back of his head, his face red. Xu Pangda wanted to refuse, but didn't have the courage.

Finally, Xu Pangda glanced at the big white goose, then looked at Xiao Mochi, and thought for a while:

"Big white goose, white and white, can't fit in one pot, tastes great with spice."

"Hahahahaha..."

Xu Pangda's poem successfully made the students in the academy laugh, and the academy was filled with a lively atmosphere.

"Goose, goose, goose!!!"

The Tianxuan Goose angrily flapped its wings non-stop, with a hint of wanting to fight the little fatty to the death.

Xu Pangda lowered his head, his cheeks flushed.

Xiao Mochi smiled: "Not bad, Pangda, it's already very impressive that you were able to say it, sit down."

Xu Pangda sat down timidly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to write a poem?" Xiao Mochi looked at everyone again.

But no one spoke.

"How about..." Xiao Mochi looked in Xu Ming's direction.

Qin Qingwan thought that this sir was looking at her and quickly hid beside Xu Ming.

"Xu Ming, why don't you give it a try?"

Xiao Mochi looked at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming stood up.

When the Tianxuan Goose saw this, it cried out "Goose, goose, goose" a few times, as if saying: "Little brother, you must write a good poem for me, don't let this goose down."

Qin Qingwan also looked at Xu Ming with burning eyes, anticipating what kind of poem Xu Ming would make.

But no matter what, it must be better than Xu Pangda's.

Xu Ming thought for a while and said: "Goose, goose, goose, craning its neck to sing to the sky. White feathers float on the green water, red paddles stir the clear waves."

"Goose? (Eh?) Goose, goose, goose~~~ (Little brother, the poem you made is not bad)"

The Tianxuan Goose cried out "Goose, goose, goose" a few times, expressing its joy.

Xiao Mochi looked at Xu Ming with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although this poem is simple and easy to understand, it can only be regarded as ordinary.

However, this poem was made by a five-year-old child.

Just as Xu Ming made this poem, a string of words suddenly appeared in Xu Ming's mind:

"You wrote a poem, Righteous Qi +100, Temperament +10."

When this string of words appeared, Xu Ming was also stunned for a moment, not expecting that this could also increase Righteous Qi.

Even though Xu Ming still doesn't know what Righteous Qi is for.

And when Xu Ming made this poem, even though the children in the academy didn't have much appreciation, they also knew that this poem was well-written, and the scene of a swan in the water appeared in their minds.

Beside Xu Ming, Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Ming with an admiring gaze.

Even Xu Pangda had an admiring look.

We are all children, and I am two years older than you, how can the poem you write be so different from what I write?

"A very good poem," Xiao Mochi praised.

Xiao Mochi praised.

Xiao Mochi asked a few more children if they wanted to write poems, and then called out a few more names.

Xiao Mochi continued to talk about the Analects.

Xiao Mochi didn't let the Tianxuan Goose leave, but let the Tianxuan Goose listen to the class outside the academy.

When class was over at noon, the children poured out of the academy as if they had been liberated.

Xiao Mochi watched Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan leave the school, with the Tianxuan Goose waddling beside them.

Xiao Mochi couldn't help but pinch his fingers:

"I didn't expect that such a talented child would appear in the Xu family.

Even more unexpectedly, that goose would appear in the Xu family.

Could it be that the Xu family is about to prosper again?"

Looking at their backs, Xiao Mochi silently wrote down the two characters Xu Ming on a piece of paper.
