Seeing that the heat was almost done, Han Du put down the wine in his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Han Du asked this question, Tang Ding's mood suddenly collapsed. Crying and saying: "We're sorry dad, oh oh oh..."
Such a sentence came suddenly and he didn't explain it clearly, which made Han Du even more filled with questions.
"What's going on? You should explain it clearly. If you don't explain it clearly, how can I think of a solution for you?"
Tang Ding heard Han Du's words and sighed dejectedly: "My family is unlucky, my family is really unlucky!"
"What's going on!" Hearing Tang Ding cry, Han Du couldn't help but ask loudly.
Stimulated by Han Du's words, Tang Ding regained some clarity and said: "It's not our incompetent younger brother. According to father's instructions, we finally found a Confucian scholar to teach him. In the end, he was good, not only If you don't study hard, you even beat your husband. Beating the teacher is simply lawless. Why do we have such a thing in our family..."
When Tang Ding started talking about it, he started talking like a barrage of words.
But the more Han Du listened, the more confused he became, and he quickly interrupted him, "Wait, you mean Tang Fu? Isn't he serving in the army? Why is he studying at home?"
Tang Ding immediately explained: "It's not Tang Fu. Tang Fu is the second brother. I'm talking about the fifth brother Tang Li."
"You have such a younger brother? Why didn't I know?" Han Du knew that Tang He had two sons, Tang Ding and Tang Fu. The third and fourth sons had died young, but he didn't expect that there was a fifth son. .
Tang Ding suddenly looked embarrassed and said vaguely: "You were overseas at the time, so I didn't have time to tell you. Later, when you came back, maybe dad also forgot about it."
Han Du narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized that it was not as simple as Tang Ding said. I'm afraid it will probably involve the issue of legitimate sons and concubines, or it may be that Tang Li's mother's status is not valuable enough. Such things are not uncommon in the Duke's house, and Han Du did not explore the rise of privacy in the Xinguo Duke's house.
"You mean Tang Li, Mr. Da?" Han Du was a little surprised.
After all, the current culture emphasizes that the master of heaven and earth is the master, and the status of the master is not completely equivalent to that of mother and father. Beating your teacher is just like beating your parents. They are both treasonous things.
After something like this happened, it's no wonder that Qian Yun, with Tang Ding's heroic spirit, had to lament the misfortune of his family!
Tang Ding nodded and said: "Originally, we just thought that he was uneducated and had no skills. We found many teachers but could not teach him well. This time we finally found a Confucian scholar. We originally hoped that he could change his ways. Unexpectedly, He even dared to beat the division commander."
Speaking of Tang Li, Tang Ding couldn't stop shaking his head even if he was already seven or eight points drunk.
It can be seen that he has completely given up on his younger brother Tang Li. I'm afraid if Tang He hadn't given instructions before his death, he wouldn't have wanted to take care of Tang Li anymore.
Han Du lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Confucian scholars are usually a little arrogant. In our opinion, they are a bit pedantic and do not know how to adapt. If I am not wrong, this Confucian scholar must have left now, right? It is even said that rotten wood cannot be carved. ?」
Tang Ding was shocked. He even sobered up a little. He looked straight at Han Du and asked, "How do you know so clearly, as if you saw it with your own eyes? Yes, that Confucian scholar was indeed angry that day. He left in a hurry, and also said that rotten wood cannot be carved out of soup."
Han Du smiled and pointed at his nose and said: "Don't forget, I am also a scholar. I don't know what is wrong with them? In fact, it is right for you to find a teacher to teach you. These people may not be knowledgeable. That Confucian scholar is taller, but his patience is much better than him. For Tang Li, this is actually a good thing. But you have to go out of your way to find a Confucian scholar, it would be strange if this doesn't break out into a conflict."
"Then according to what you mean, it's my fault instead?" Tang Ding said loudly with his eyes widened.
Seeing that he was on the verge of breaking out, Han Du quickly comforted him: "That's not what I meant. I just think that sometimes the right one is the best."
"What's suitable is the best?" Tang Ding clicked these words.
After a while, look
Xiang Handu said: "Since you said that, why don't you come and find a gentleman for Lao Wu? I'll see what kind of gentleman you can find. Of course, we don't ask him to obtain fame in the future, as long as he can recognize Just hyphenate the text, okay?"
Han Du twirled the few beards on his chin and smiled slightly, "Let's take a look first and then talk."
Isn’t it easy to read and write? Which Qiu Ba in Shanzi Camp and Navy Division is not literate in writing? I remember when I asked these bastards to study, they said that the hand holding the handle of the knife could not hold the pen. If I insist on them studying, they would rather die!
But now, aren't all those who have been trained by me able to read and write? I haven’t seen anyone die! The hand that once held the handle of a knife can now hold the handle of a pen firmly and firmly, right?
"Come here!" Tang Ding shouted loudly toward the outside.
The steward left Gong Yao and ran in. He said politely, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Where is that bastard?" Tang Ding didn't even want to mention Tang Li's name.
Han Du looked on and wanted to laugh. Being able to make the rather elegant Tang Ding so angry was considered a skill.
Without thinking, the housekeeper understood who the father-in-law was talking about.
He quickly replied: "Go back to me, sir. On my order, the fifth young master is still locked up in the woodshed."
Hearing that his younger brother was still locked up in the woodshed, Tang Ding couldn't bear it. His voice softened a lot and he said, "Go, bring him here."
"yes."
Before the housekeeper could turn around and leave, Han Du stood up and said, "No, I'd better go and have a look in person."
With that said, Han Du followed the housekeeper.
Of course the butler would not refuse. He turned around and said with a smile, "The young man will lead the way for the Marquis."
When Tang Ding saw it, he hesitated for a moment while holding the wine bowl, then suddenly put the bowl down and said to Han Du's back, "Let's go with you."
Han Du followed the housekeeper to outside a woodshed.
The housekeeper opened the door with the key and motioned to Han Du: "Master Marquis, please."
Han Du nodded and stepped into the woodshed. Suddenly, Han Du stopped, looked back at Tang Ding, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you coming in?"
Tang Ding glanced at Han Du, then at the group of figures inside, curled his lips and said, "We will get angry when we see him, and we will go to you."
Han Du shrugged noncommittally, turned around and walked inside. Soon he saw a young man lying on a ball of hay.
The housekeeper walked at the front and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Fifth Young Master, I have already asked you to go out. Also, this is the Marquis of Zhenhai, who came specially to see you."
Although Tang Li was only a boy of twelve or thirteen years old at this time, he was very tall. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his hands were resting under the back of his head. Although his eyes were open, he looked towards the roof without looking at the housekeeper, let alone looking sideways at Han Du.
When the housekeeper saw that his young master was so unreasonable, he was immediately very embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Han Du.
Han Du waved his hand towards him and motioned for him to go out.
Han Du didn't take Tang Li's attitude to heart. Adolescent children will always deliberately confront you. Han Du himself has experienced this, and he clearly knows what he was thinking at the time.
The butler had no choice but to smile and retreat.
Seeing that Tang Li was ignoring him, Han Du simply stepped forward and sat down on the ground.
After all, Duke Xinguo's mansion is a wealthy family, and the woodshed is also well-maintained. The ground is also paved with bluestone slabs, without any dirt at all. However, due to the accumulation of wood, even charcoal and briquettes, over many years, the ground is naturally very dirty.
On the entire ground, only the ball of hay under Tang Li was clean, and the rest was a black mess.
Naturally, Han Du couldn't sit on the hay. As soon as he sat down, he saw black marks on the python robe.
"Are you Tang Li?"
When Tang Li saw Han Du sitting down, his eyes moved, as if he was a little surprised by Han Du's straightforwardness. He slowly sat up, faced Han Du, and said, "We know you, you are Han Du."
Then he glanced at the place where Han Du was sitting. He would not sit in such a dirty place. He said with some disgust: "Why are you sitting on that dust?"
Han Du put his hands on his knees and said with a smile: "You know me, but this is the first time I've heard of you. That's my fault."
After looking down, he raised his head and said to Tang Li: "As for why I sat down? What does this mean? When your brother and I were on the grassland, we were ambushed by the Meng Yuan cavalry and had a great battle. The ground was covered with blood and muddy water. I was so tired at that time that I didn’t have any strength at all. I couldn’t even pull the dead person, so why didn’t I just fall into the blood and water?”
Han Du saw Tang Li's eyes rolling a few times when he talked about the grassland campaign, and he immediately knew that he was interested in it.
Sure enough, Tang Li glanced at Han Du and hesitated. After a few breaths, he finally said, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Han Du looked at Tang Li, his eyes brightening a little, and laughed: "If you don't believe it, your brother is at the door. Just ask him to come in and confront him."
When Tang Li heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "No, I believe you."
Do you believe me?
Han Du smiled slightly and thought to himself: "This is a good young man. How can he be as bad as Tang Ding said?"
Then he asked with a smile: "I heard that you beat your husband, why did you beat him?"
Since Tang Li began to believe in Han Du, he naturally became less wary of Han Du and said without thinking, "I didn't understand what he said. I said I didn't understand, and he got angry and hit me with a ruler." It hurt him, so I beat him."
When Tang Ding heard it outside, he almost jumped in anger. Isn't it natural for you to be beaten by your teacher with a ruler if you don't study hard? You actually dared to beat your husband because of this. Are you still justified?
If Han Du hadn't been here, Tang Ding would never have been able to bear it and rushed in to clean up Tang Li. Since Han Du is inside now, that's all.
