Han Du raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiaoru, "Yu Qian... has his own ideas, and I'm afraid he may not be willing to do it."
Yu Qian is Han Du's only disciple and his favorite disciple. From the bottom of his heart, Han Du didn't want to force him.
Han Du had forced himself too much in his life. He knew that this feeling was very uncomfortable, and he didn't want Yu Qian to experience it again.
"Is this something he is willing to do?" Fang Xiaoru suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "This is a major event related to the future of the academy, and it is also something he must bear. Who makes him yours?" Where are the disciples?"
Seeing that Han Du was still hesitant, Fang Xiaoru snorted and said, "Unless you don't care about the academy, you can just sit back and watch the academy decline."
The academy is Han Du's hard work, and Han Du even spent far less energy on Lao Zhu than the academy. Of course he understands the importance of the academy, and even hopes that the academy can be passed down for a long time, even longer than the Ming Dynasty.
"Let me think about it." Han Du understood that Fang Xiaoru's words were correct, "Think about how to tell him..."
Fang Xiaoru saw this and didn't say much. He only added, "Anyway, you founded the academy, and Yu Qian is also your disciple. You can figure it out yourself."
In the evening, Han Du sent someone to send a message to Yu Qian.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Yu Qian walked into Han Du's study, sat down opposite the teacher without any restraint, reached out and grabbed the pastry on the table and put it into his mouth.
Han Du smiled slightly and asked curiously: "What? Didn't you eat at night?"
Yu Qian chuckled and lowered his head, "I was too immersed in thinking about a problem, and I missed it unknowingly.
. "
"Didn't anyone call you?" Han Du reached for the teapot and poured him a glass of water, sighing: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Although the dining time in the house is fixed, every time when someone is found not arriving yet during the meal, someone will be sent to inform them. The servants would even ask the servants to leave some food for those who didn't come.
It won't make Yu Qian hungry.
Han Du thought it was the servant's negligence and felt a little angry on his brows.
Yu Qian grabbed the tea cup and took a few big sips one after another. I just feel that the pastries in my mouth are melting quickly when the tea comes, and the uncomfortable feeling of dryness and stuffiness disappears instantly.
He quickly explained: "I came back late from the Queen Mother's place."
You can't blame the servant.
Han Du's brows suddenly widened. Yu Qian worshiped Han Jingyun as his teacher and often went to the palace to seek advice.
And Han Jingyun often stayed with Yu Qian to eat, so no one knew whether Yu Qian had eaten in the palace.
As time goes by, the servants will no longer leave food specially for Yu Qian.
"I'd better ask someone to cook you some food."
After Han Du finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but Yu Qian quickly reached out to stop him.
"Teacher, no need."
After pressing Han Du back, Yu Qian raised the pastry in his hand with a smile and said with a smile: "This disciple is young and can bear it, just have some of this. The teacher is here today to ask the disciple, maybe there is something wrong?"
After Yu Qian said this, Han Du no longer insisted. Instead, he lowered his head and began to ponder. After a moment, he paused and said, "I do have something to tell you..."
Yu Qian stopped chewing, quickly picked up the tea cup and took another sip, swallowing all the cakes in his mouth, "Teacher, please speak frankly."
"I
I want you to take charge of the academy. "After Han Du finished speaking, he raised his head and stared directly at Yu Qian.
"Cough cough cough..."
There was obviously nothing in Yu Qian's mouth, but he coughed repeatedly as if he was choked by something.
Han Du didn't say anything anymore, and just looked at Yu Qian coughing calmly.
After Yu Qian stared at Han Du for a long time, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Teacher, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. When did my teacher make a joke with you?" Han Du's words were full of sincerity.
But Yu Qian would not believe this, what kind of virtue his teacher was, he had experienced too much in these years. Now looking back on his ignorance and naivety, Yu Qian even laughs in his heart.
Moreover, Yu Qian even hoped that the teacher was joking with him when taking over the academy.
But after carefully observing the teacher's expression for a moment, Yu Qian felt increasingly unsure.
Not daring to look into the teacher's eyes, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly and replied: "Teacher, I'm still young..."
I'm not even thirty years old yet. Teacher, you want to trap me in the academy. Do you still have any humanity?
It's a pity that Han Du couldn't hear what Yu Qian was thinking. He smiled and leaned closer to Yu Qian, just like a wolf grandma tempting a child with candy.
"You are ambitious but not young. Who in the entire academy can compare with you in terms of talent and academics? In terms of closeness and distance, you are the only disciple of Master. This academy was founded by Master himself. Do you think that by handing it over to others, it is for Master?" Teacher, can you rest assured? What’s more, it’s better to be young. This way you can be in charge for a longer time, which will help develop the academy."
"Teacher, I...
...." Yu Qian was very reluctant, but he was afraid that his direct refusal would offend the teacher's face and make him sad.
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Han Du felt bad when he saw that Yu Qian really didn't want to take over the academy.
Yu Qian nodded quickly with a wry smile on his face.
The smile on Han Du's face disappeared and he just stared into Yu Qian's eyes. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Can you tell me the reason?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Yu Qian nodded slightly and said, "Teacher, I'm still young and want to continue studying knowledge."
Seeing Han Du open his mouth slightly, Yu Qian immediately speeded up his speech, "Teacher, you also know that I just started to study the relationship between geometry and algebra. These days, I found that there is a lot of knowledge in it. The more I study in depth, the more I feel that it is There are endless mysteries. I wonder...can you wait until I have thoroughly researched this before talking about the academy?"
"Teacher, if you don't let me continue my research, I feel empty inside. Even if I manage the academy, I'm afraid there will be mistakes!"
Thoroughly study geometry and algebra? Can this be accomplished in a short period of time?
Han Du even felt that even if Yu Qian spent his whole life, it would be impossible to thoroughly study this knowledge.
Han Du looked at Yu Qian with eyes full of suspicion, wondering in his heart whether this boy didn't want to agree at all and was using this to fool himself.
"If you want to study knowledge, I won't object as a teacher!"
"Really?" Yu Qian was pleasantly surprised.
Before he could finish being happy, Han Du waved his hand directly, "But this has no conflict with you being in charge of the academy. You can be in charge of the academy while doing learning. And when you are in charge of the academy, you can also let more
If more people participate in your knowledge, it may be faster than if you study alone! "
"ah?"
Yu Qian never expected that the teacher would give him such a reply, and he was speechless for a moment.
