Cowardice is not a big problem for Zhu Tan, who was born with a golden key.
But for Lao Zhu, who has been strong all his life, he has some personality differences and it is really difficult to like him.
But now when Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Tan, who was asking for help from him with a bruised face, he was surprised to find that his cowardly character was almost gone, replaced by a heroic spirit of a man who dared to take on responsibilities. He was so hot and masculine that Lao Zhu couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Lao Zhu was a little surprised at Zhu Tan's change. He thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "My dear concubine, come here, sit down."
Although Concubine Ning was furious, she had to listen to the emperor's words. The water snake twisted her waist and coquettishly to show her dissatisfaction, then she obediently sat down next to Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for Tan'er."
Although Concubine Ning is not young, time seems to have left no trace on her face. Lao Zhu's whole body went numb when he heard the tender pleading.
Seeing that his mother-in-law was unwilling to let go of the matter, Zhu Tan wanted to make a few excuses, but was stopped by Lao Zhu's look.
After that, Lao Zhu hugged Concubine Ning and comforted him: "My dear concubine, I don't know something. When Tan'er and the others entered the academy, I asked them to hide their identities. His classmates must not know that he is King Lu, otherwise they would be Even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to take action. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, so let's stop this matter."
"But~" Concubine Ning was naturally unwilling to do so after her heart was beaten so badly. She said dissatisfiedly, "If we don't set an example, what should we do if they continue to beat Tan'er in the future?"
Zhu Tan quickly put on a smile and said: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, those guys are no match for Er Chen. From now on, only Er Chen will beat them, and they will not have any part in beating Er Chen."
Men, even if their noses and faces are swollen after being beaten outside, they will brag in front of their parents about how powerful they are and how they kill everyone. As for where the bruises on his face came from, these are all trivial matters, caused by sneak attacks by villains who do not follow martial ethics. And he also beat them back, beating them until they cried for father and mother.
Besides, the bruise on my face hurts even when I grin. How can I resolve my hatred if I don't take revenge myself?
Concubine Ning wanted to say something more, but Lao Zhu hugged her hard and said, "Hasn't Concubine noticed that Tan'er has started to grow up and become manly after this incident?"
Concubine Ning took a closer look at her son, and saw that her eyebrows were indeed no longer as tender as before, but began to reveal a heroic spirit. Seeing that the emperor had said this, while she was happy for her son, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing Zhu Tan looking straight at the dishes on the table and swallowing her saliva, Concubine Ning said, "You must be hungry, sit down and eat quickly."
Then he turned his head and smiled gently at Lao Zhu, who smiled and nodded slightly.
Zhu Tan couldn't stand the fragrance for a long time. How could she be polite to her mother and concubine when she heard her order? He sat down, picked up the bowl, and started devouring it.
Concubine Ning couldn't help but bring some vegetables to Zhu Tan when she saw it, "Come and try this."
With her mouth full of food, Zhu Tan just hummed twice, nodded and swallowed the food and rice together.
Concubine Ning saw Zhu Tan eating completely differently from usual. No matter what he liked to eat before or what he didn't like to eat, now he would eat it quickly without hesitation. She couldn't help but asked distressedly: "Tan'er, how long has it been since you had a meal? Don't they even provide food in the academy?"
Zhu Tan ate for a while, and then she felt that the glutton in her stomach was appeased. Then he sighed and said: "There is no problem in having enough food in the academy, but if you want to eat well, you need to earn it yourself."
"Earn? How to earn?" Lao Zhu asked curiously.
Zhu Tan did not hide anything and said: "There are many ways. If you are good at studying, you can help make up for the poor ones, or you can help your husband with things. If you are not good at studying, you can also help clean the academy and do what you can."
"Is everyone like this, or is it just you?"
"Everyone is like this." Zhu Tan paused with his chopsticks and took the opportunity to reply.
Lao Zhu became even more curious and couldn't help but ask: "Then how do you make money? Assisting your husband in doing things?"
In Lao Zhu's opinion, with Zhu Tan's intelligence, he should be good at studying, and it shouldn't be difficult to make money through this.
Zhu Tan lowered his head to eat the rice, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he mumbled a "hmm" sounding like a mosquito, and got through.
Seeing that her son was so hungry, Concubine Ning had tears in her eyes. She gave Zhu Tan another dish and said, "Eat more."
The meal was eaten by Zhu Tan in a hurry. Neither Lao Zhu nor Concubine Ning had any intention of eating, they just watched Zhu Tan eat. When Zhu Tan had finished eating and drinking and put down the dishes, the palace maid cleared the table and served fragrant tea.
Lao Zhu took a sip from the tea cup, glanced at Zhu Tan, and asked doubtfully: "You have been working hard since you were a child. They should not be your opponents. How could you be beaten like this by a few classmates? "
The anger on Zhu Tan's face flashed away, and he said angrily: "Of course they are no match for Erchen, but that bastard Han Du..."
"Huh?" Lao Zhu snorted dissatisfied.
Zhu Tan immediately covered his mouth. He and Zhu Zi had scolded Han Du a lot in the academy, and now they had formed a habit of grunting whenever they were bald.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu just glanced at him and didn't go into details. Lao Zhu had never taken a closer look at what was going on in the academy, but now that he heard Zhu Tan talk about it, it seemed to be different from what he had in mind. Therefore, Lao Zhu is ready to wait until he has a clear understanding before making plans.
"It's Mr. Han," Zhu Tan immediately corrected him and then said, "Mr. Han taught everyone Juntiquan, and they practice it every day."
The more Zhu Tan spoke, the softer his voice became.
Lao Zhu frowned and asked, "Didn't Han Du teach you?"
"Taught me." Zhu Tan nodded, looked at his father carefully, and explained: "But this military style boxing seems to be a combined attack technique. The more people there are, the more powerful it is. I have no problem dealing with five or six of them by myself." , but if a dozen of them come together, I will be no match for you. Even if you join forces with the Eight Emperors, you can only cope with the siege of about twenty people."
Write a book
The art of combined attack? There was a flash of light in Lao Zhu's eyes. The art of combined attack has been a secret among military strategists since ancient times. How did Han Du obtain it?
"What kind of military style boxing can you show your father once?" Lao Zhu said as if coaxing a child.
Zhu Tan suddenly felt that his father cared deeply about him, a feeling he thought would be difficult to feel from his father. If there was any reason why Zhu Tan was unwilling, he showed it to his father on the spot.
