Zhang Xin also had a good temper. Even so, he patiently explained to the Prince of Chu. "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Those who enjoy doing this have been secretly thinking about how to deceive people all day long. After all, I am not someone who is good at this art, and my understanding of it is very limited. It’s true that there is no foolproof strategy to teach you.”
Ever since Zhang Xin came to the academy, the most profound feeling the academy gave him was two words: change!
The academy is undergoing rapid changes every day, and so are the changes in learning, and so are the deceptions of those swindlers. Therefore, in the academy, even people who are good at this cannot give a good strategy that will completely avoid being deceived.
Zhu Gaochi quickly grabbed this idiot. Judging from the current situation, the academy was really different from what they took for granted. It was not a good place at all. If they want to live a good life in the academy, they will inevitably need to consult Zhang Xin in the future.
"Brother Zhang, don't blame him, he is just a bit outspoken. I will bear in mind Brother Zhang's kindness."
Zhang Xin indeed didn't care about the Prince of Chu. Anyway, he came here just to make some money. Money and goods have nothing to do with each other.
However, seeing that Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan, had always behaved like a courteous and virtuous corporal, he did not look down upon others. Zhang Xin kindly reminded you, "If you princes want to completely avoid being deceived, others may not be able to do it, but you may not."
"Oh? Please give Brother Zhang some advice." Zhu Gaochi asked politely.
Zhang Xin did not hesitate and said directly: "If you can meet His Highness King Tan, you may be able to get some advice from King Tan."
Yes... Zhu Gaochi suddenly slapped his thick thigh in excitement.
His Highness King Tan is the founder of these scammers in the academy. If they can get his guidance, how can they still be deceived by these students?
And Zhu Gaochi also understood why Zhang Xin just said that ordinary people have no way, but they are different.
Just think about it, are ordinary people qualified to see King Tan? But of course they are different. As juniors, it is extremely easy for them to pay a visit to His Highness King Tan.
...
Zhu Biao came back, and Lao Zhu taught Zhu Biao a lot of memorials to deal with, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed. It was already noon, but he was still staying in Qianqing Palace, sipping tea slowly.
However, the more leisurely Lao Zhu is, the easier it is for him to have random thoughts. Suddenly, he thought of Han Du again, and asked the old eunuch without raising his head, "What is this kid Han Du doing?"
The old eunuch hurriedly replied: "To return to the emperor, the prince-in-law has been in the academy these days since he saw my husband's condition."
"What is he doing in the academy?" Lao Zhu asked casually.
The old eunuch paused for a moment, but quickly replied truthfully: "Back to the Emperor, the Prince Consort has driven all the eunuchs and maids serving the princes out of the academy."
"Oh? Is this happening?" Lao Zhu immediately raised his head and put the tea cup on the table.
"Yes." The old eunuch said quickly: "Your Majesty, please tell me that all the princes are worth a lot of money. There is no one around to take care of them. If they bump into each other, what will happen?"
After hearing what the old eunuch said, Lao Zhu's tense expression relaxed. He said casually: "How can my grandson be so delicate and delicate that he can't even bump into him?"
"Then, what does your Majesty mean?" The old eunuch didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so he asked cautiously.
Lao Zhu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's just leave it like this. Han Du is a thoughtful person. Since he dares to drive away all the palace maids and eunuchs, he will naturally make arrangements and nothing will happen. Besides, back then, When my sons entered the academy, didn’t they bring palace maids and eunuchs with them? I don’t believe it, but it’s my grandchildren’s turn and they can’t do it!”
"No need to remind Han Du, he can do whatever he wants."
"Yes, I understand." The old eunuch bowed and replied. Seeing that the emperor had no other instructions, he quietly took two steps back and stood aside.
...
Since Han Du dealt with those princes, he stopped taking care of them. As long as no one jumps out to make trouble, Han Du doesn't need to worry about teaching in the academy.
The academy is now full of talents, and there are a large number of gentlemen who are willing to stay in the academy to teach. Sending a few of these gentlemen to teach these princes is more than enough.
To Han Du's surprise, none of the troublesome princes dared to stir up trouble. Whether it is their husband teaching them their lessons, or forcing them to do some things within their capabilities, such as letting them clean their own rooms, fetch water and wash their own clothes, etc. These princes gritted their teeth and persisted one by one, without any violent resistance.
As for whether these people were yelling at themselves, Han Du didn't care. When discussing deeds, one does not care about one’s heart. When discussing one’s heart, there is no perfect person in the world. As long as they read the book and do the work, Han Du won't care what they think.
As a result, Han Du, who had just been busy in the academy, was actually free again.
On this day, Han Du originally did not want to come to the academy. But An Qing couldn't refuse and wanted to go out for a walk. So Han Du brought her to the academy.
The two of them were hiding in the study drinking tea when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
Han Du glanced at the wooden door very dissatisfied, his eyes filled with anger.
But he didn't expect that the knocking on the door would become louder.
"Dong dong dong!"
An Qing sat across from him with a blushing face. Looking at Han Du's dissatisfied look, he lowered his head and chuckled. He stretched out his hand to push Han Du and comforted her softly: "Okay, maybe I have something urgent to come to see you. Go and open the door!"
Han Du reluctantly raised his head and shouted toward the door: "Who is it?"
"Master Han, it's me, Sun Xian. The student has something important to ask to see Master Han."
Listening to Sun Xian's voice coming from outside the door, Han Du was still a little unhappy. Stand up slowly and go to open the door.
Unbolt the door bolt and pull the door open. Han Du saw Sun Xian standing upright outside, frowned, and asked: "Is there something urgent for you? Are you so anxious to come to me? Xue Gongbu is still in the academy. If you have anything, Shouldn’t we go find him?”
Being interrupted at a critical moment, Han Du looked unhappy.
Sun Xian looked at Master Han in confusion, wondering where the anger on Master Han's face came from. Still smiling, he said, "It's not the academy's business to reply to Master Han."
"Oh? What's that?" Han Du was even more surprised. It wasn't about the academy, so why did he do it to him?
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Sun Xian was shocked when he heard Han Du's words. He looked at Han Du with wide eyes and asked, "Master Han, has he forgotten that there is also a mechanical workshop?"
Oh, yes... I also have a machinery workshop that Sun Xian is responsible for. Han Du's expression calmed down and he asked casually: "Did something happen in the machinery workshop that you couldn't handle, so you came to me?"
"No, no, no, Master Han misunderstood. Everything is fine in the machinery workshop and nothing happened." Sun Xian waved his hands quickly and explained: "Master Han led his troops to sea before the machinery workshop was built. Now the machinery The workshop has been built a long time ago, and it’s pretty good. It’s been so long since Master Han came back, but the students haven’t even seen the current machinery workshop. So they thought about asking Master Han to take a look.”
So that's it... You really should visit the mechanical workshop. Ever since it was built, my master has never gone in even once, which seems a little unreasonable.
But when Han Du thought about it, he felt that he was at a loss. He delayed his important things for such an unimportant matter. No matter how you look at it, it was a big loss.
At this time, Anqing's expression returned to normal and he walked out of the study.
Sun Xian was stunned for a moment when he saw An Qing was also in the study. He came to see Master Han, but he never thought it would be like this.
Fortunately, Sun Xian had a quick mind and responded quickly. He quickly bowed to An Qing and said, "Your Majesty Sun Xian, I would like to pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"No courtesy." An Qing smiled and waved to Sun Xian.
Then he grabbed Han Du's arm and shook it twice, "Husband, it just so happens that I haven't been there either. How about we go there today?"
Han Du touched his chin, smacked it, and nodded, "That's fine. It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Then let's set off now."
Sun Xian quickly bowed and said, "Master Han, please, Your Highness the Princess."
Since the distance was not close, Han Du and An Qing got on the carriage, and Sun Xian rode there.
When we arrived at the door of the machinery workshop, there was a large facade with the words Han's Machinery Workshop written on it.
Sun Xian saw the words Han Du wrote on the guard's face and said with some embarrassment: "Master Han, don't blame me. I learned these words boldly. If Han Du thinks it's inappropriate, the student will have them removed." , and then find a famous person to suggest the calligraphy and replace it."
Han Du didn't know calligraphy in the past, but since he came to Ming Dynasty, under the influence of people around him, especially after being despised by Lao Zhu several times, Han Du worked hard on this, and his ability to appreciate calligraphy can be said to be extraordinary. Straight line improvement.
Although the words "Sun Xian" are not written by a famous person, they are not far from being a famous person. Moreover, perhaps because Sun Xian likes machinery, these words of his have the flavor of steel machinery.
If Han Du wanted to find someone to write an inscription, ordinary celebrities would not be able to catch Han Du's attention. Usually Han Du goes to Fang Xiaoru or Lao Zhu. Fang Xiaoru was a great scholar of his generation and his calligraphy was majestic, so he was naturally the best choice.
Although Lao Zhu did not receive Confucian education when he was a child, he studied hard since he started to rebel. Naturally, Lao Zhu also studied calligraphy hard. Lao Zhu's calligraphy is invincible and highly recognizable, making him the first choice for inscriptions.
But now, Fang Xiaoru is still serving as the governor of Luzon, and there is no way to write the inscription for himself. And I can't just go find the emperor's imperial pen to write inscriptions just because I'm a mechanical workshop, right?
After thinking about it, Han Du shook his head and said with a smile: "Your word is good, it has the connotation of mechanical beauty. If it is placed in other places, it may be inappropriate, but it complements each other well."
"Thank you Master Han." Sun Xian knew that Han Du was deliberately praising him, and bowed to Han Du respectfully.
