Han Du looked Tang Li up and down, looking at his clear eyes, and then he realized that this was just a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. Maybe in his heart, if someone hurts him, he will hit him back.
From this point of view, Tang Li's thoughts are innocent.
Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand towards Tang Li, who trembled all over and suddenly stepped back.
Han Du reacted, took back his hand with a smile, and asked, "Did you hurt Mr.?"
"Huh?" Tang Li was stunned. He never thought that Han Du would ask such a question. After his brother heard about this before, he would only blame him and scold him for not beating the teacher, but no one ever asked him if he had hurt the teacher.
Han Du smiled and continued to ask: "Since you were hurt by the teacher, if you didn't hurt him after you returned, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"
"No loss at all!" Tang Li's wary look quickly faded, and he instantly became close to Han Du. He loudly replied: "Even though I am young, I am very strong. I rode on him and punched him with both fists. He kept hitting his old face, making him howl in pain..."
"Hahaha..." Han Du was immediately amused by Tang Li.
Although Tang Li was not very old, he was extremely strong. Looking at his size, Han Du estimated that he weighed seventy or eighty pounds. He was riding on the gentleman, and the helpless scholar really couldn't push him away.
Tang Ding had been listening outside the door, and he saw that Tang Li had the nerve to talk about those embarrassing things about him in front of Han Du, and he looked proud of it. But Han Du went to educate Tang Li, and he actually started laughing along with him.
Is this okay?
Tang Ding strode in and shouted angrily, "You are not ashamed but proud, right?"
As he said this, Tang Ding prepared to fight.
Han Du quickly stood up and took Tang Ding's hand, and said with a smile: "As a boy, it's normal for you to be naughty. If you act like a girl and hide in your boudoir all day embroidering, then I think you really have to worry. ”
Tang Ding lowered his head and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that what Han Du said made sense. But seeing Tang Li's appearance, I still felt angry.
He looked at Han Du and said, "I called you here because I wanted you to teach him well. Why are you still encouraging him?"
Han Du leaned over and pulled Tang Li up, patted the grass clippings off his body a few times, and said with a smile: "I don't think there is anything wrong with him, he is fine."
"He's already beaten Mr. Do you still think there's no problem?" Tang Ding suddenly felt frightened and regretted letting Han Du teach Tang Li. Originally, he thought that Han Du had many ways to change Lao Wu's evil ways. Now it seems that it has caused Lao Wu to go further and further down the wrong path.
Han Du put his hand on Tang Ding's shoulder and said with a smile: "For a family like ours, it is better to have children like wolves than like sheep. Even if you let him learn the title of the gold list, do you think it is good for him?"
Tang Ding sighed when he heard this, looked at his younger brother and said, "I don't expect him to be named on the gold medal list, but he must learn to be a good person and not do anything wrong, so that he can keep a family fortune in the future, right?"
"How can he know what it is to be a human being at his age? Besides, even if you want him to learn well, you have to ask him what he thinks first, right?" Han Du shook his head.
Han Du turned to look at Tang Li and asked loudly: "Tell me, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Tang Li was usually very afraid of his brother. After all, Tang Ding had beaten him once or twice. Moreover, Tang Ding's skills, which he had cultivated in the military camp since childhood, would make him cry every time.
But when Han Du asked him, he didn't know where he had the courage to stand upright in front of his brother and said loudly: "I want to be a general like my father."
Han Du smiled and looked sideways at Tang Ding.
Tang Ding was stunned for a moment. He had indeed never asked his brother what he wanted to do in the future. He just felt that after reading well, he would be of great use in the future, so he arranged for his younger brother to have teachers one after another, asking him to study hard.
Looking at his younger brother's childish face, Tang Ding suddenly felt guilty.
Han Du smiled and clapped his hands and said, "What a great ambition! But it's not easy to be a general like your father."
Tang Li suddenly looked at Han Du with wide eyes, waved his arms and said, "I am very strong, no one is my opponent."
Han Du stretched out his hand and pinched the boy's arm, and it immediately felt as if he had pinched a stone. A look of surprise flashed across Han Du's eyes, and then he shook his head with a smile and said, "If you want to be a general, strength alone is far from enough."
Tang Li frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What else do you need?"
Han Du knelt down, looked into Tang Li's eyes, and said seriously: "Do you really want to become a general like your father?"
"Um!"
Han Du suddenly laughed, "Okay! But do you know? The reason why your father became a general is not just because of his strength. To be a general, you also need to be familiar with military books and understand many principles. If you don't know how to read and write, you can't There’s no way to learn it.”
Tang Li looked at Han Du with a blank face. After the conversation just now, he still had some trust in Han Du. Now when he heard Han Du say that to be a general, you must study well, he hesitated for a moment and chose to believe it.
"Is it really?"
"Of course it is!" When Tang Ding saw that his brother looked repentant, his anger suddenly disappeared.
He sighed: "Haven't you ever been to Dad's study? Dad has read all the books there many times. If you study, you won't be able to become a general in the future."
Tang Li didn't trust his brother as much as Han Du. After hearing this, he looked at Han Du and saw Han Du smiling and nodding, so he believed it.
"Okay, I'll learn!"
Tang Ding was suddenly filled with surprise and said repeatedly: "Okay, you can learn if you want. Don't be afraid if the Confucian scholar leaves, I will find a better teacher for you."
When Tang Li heard that his brother wanted to find him a husband again, a look of disgust suddenly appeared on his face. However, in order to be able to become a general in the future, he endured it and nodded in agreement.
Han Du saw Tang Li's expression and said with a smile: "Why bother looking for another Confucian scholar? Let's go to the academy to study."
"Academy?" Tang Ding was slightly startled and said, "Isn't this bad? The academies are all the best in the world. If it weren't for the princes, Tang Li can barely read now, how can he go?"
Tang Ding said it was not good, but his eyes slowly looked forward to Han Du agreeing.
Han Du did not disappoint him. He waved his hand and said lightly: "The knowledge taught by the academy is different from that of the Imperial College. They are all brand new anyway. Even if you want to recruit people, you have to learn it all over again. It is barely enough to be able to read and write. "
"Can Lao Wu really go to the academy?" Tang Ding's face was full of excitement.
Han Du acted as if it was just a trivial matter: "Why can't you go? If my family can't go to this academy, then who can go?"
"Okay!" Tang Ding slapped Han Du on the shoulder, "I won't say thank you very much. Let's go. We won't come back until we get drunk today."
Han Du felt a burning pain in his shoulder and reached out to block Tang Ding's hand. He smiled and said, "Let's wait for another day. I'll take him to the academy today."
"So urgent? Can't wait for two days?" Tang Ding's face was full of surprise.
Han Du sighed indifferently: "I'm not in a hurry. You can take as long as you want."
Tang Ding lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to his younger brother: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. You can follow Brother Han to the academy today."
"Yes." The young man was full of energy and had a restless temper. Now that he heard that he was about to go out, he nodded happily like a chicken pecking at rice.
Han Du brought Tang Li to the academy.
Looking at the tall and broad gate of the academy, Tang Li's excited little face showed a trace of nervousness. He tugged on Han Du's sleeve and asked: "Han...Brother Han, what is taught in the academy is different from my husband? What can I learn?"
"The academy has three colleges: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. You can study all three of them, or of course you can study only one." Han Du looked down at him.
Tang Li thought for a moment and asked: "Which one should I learn? Or should I learn three?"
Han Du coughed and said, "It depends on how you want to study. After you enter the academy, learn the basic courses of these three academies first, and then you can make your own choice."
"Okay!" Although Tang Li is young, he has gradually begun to awaken his independent consciousness. Now the academy lets him choose, which is very in line with his feelings.
Han Du looked at Tang Li with a strange look in his eyes, "This boy is still too innocent. Don't look at the green trees and beautiful pavilions in the academy and think it is some kind of good place. Han Du I don’t know what the current students have become, but with the cunning and deceitful atmosphere left by Zhu Zi, they must not be much better. I hope this kid won’t cry when he enters the academy.
However, Yong Tianzhen needs to be tempered by the people in the academy without a blow. "
After handing the soup to Xue Xiang, Han Du ignored it and left the academy directly.
After what happened with Tang Li, Han Du also remembered that it seemed that Han Kezhong and Tang Li were about the same age. I haven't noticed my son for some days, and I don't know what he has become.
Thinking of this, Han Du quickly speeded up and rushed home.
When I came to my yard, I saw An Qing curled up on a deck chair and resting.
He stepped forward and asked, "Where is Zhong'er? Why didn't you see him?"
An Qing turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at Han Du, "Of course Zhong'er is at my father's place. All three children are there."
Han Du's eyes widened: "Why are you at dad's place?"
An Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Dad thought he had nothing to do all day long, so he said he wanted to educate the three children. Anyway, dad is also a well-educated man. He once served as the left assistant minister of the transfer department. It is more than enough to educate the three children. It is better than outside. I don’t know how many times those teachers are better, and they don’t have to spend money to hire people, so I agreed.”
