The academy is booming!
Like the tide, the people poured into the academy in greater numbers day by day. Later, some people even waited at the entrance of the academy one night in advance, otherwise they would not be able to enter the academy at all the next day.
The academy is even more popular this time than when it was first established.
"A stick to absorb paper..."
"Spontaneous combustion without fire..."
"Fire from water..."
Every topic is enough to make the people talk about it, and it is enough to cause heated discussions in a calm small restaurant in an instant.
In a very short period of time, the two colleges of physics and chemistry have become a hot topic among the people.
The School of Mathematics seemed to be left out in this open day, but in fact it was not. The School of Mathematics has proven itself long ago.
When students from the School of Mathematics wiped out the entire gambling house in the capital in one battle, they were so frightened that all the gambling houses in the capital put up signs saying "Academy students will not be admitted."
Since then, the School of Mathematics has established its reputation as "the world's best mathematician", so naturally there will be no neglect.
Han Du didn't expect that just showing various interesting little experiments to the people would be so attractive to them.
Nowadays, more and more people are coming to the academy. Every day, Han Du has to call Yu Qian, Yang Qing, and Zhu Tan and give them careful instructions, asking them to take care of the affairs of each academy and not to get into trouble at this time.
Today, Han Du gave the three instructions as usual, and then asked Fang Xiaoru to watch them carefully.
When Fang Xiaoru saw that Han Du was going to be the boss again, she was immediately dissatisfied: "You blame me every time and you don't do anything. Are you feeling guilty?"
"Hasn't it always been like this for so many years? Aren't you the one in charge of the academy?" Han Du looked confident, "How come you were used to it before, but not now?"
"You!" Fang Xiaoru was furious, his fingers pointing at Han Du were trembling, "Okay, very good. I don't care, you can take care of it yourself!"
After saying that, Fang Xiaoru was about to leave angrily.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Han Du grabbed Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru looked back at Han Du's smiling old face, and tried to break away with his arms, but failed.
He yelled angrily: "Let go!"
Han Du grabbed him tightly and said with a smile: "Are you sure?"
Fang Xiaoru suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Based on his understanding of Han Du, whenever Han Du asks this question, he'd better listen.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru had calmed down a little, Han Du let go of his hand and said, "Now is the most prosperous time for the academy. If you leave your job at this time, wouldn't your previous efforts have been in vain?"
Fang Xiaoru is good at everything. His only shortcoming is that he has a good reputation and is very utilitarian.
It was precisely for this reason that he ignored Han Du's opposition and became an official.
Later, after Fang Xiaoru had been an official for several years, he gradually understood why Han Du was opposed to his becoming an official in the first place, because there were too many things in the officialdom that he could not understand. And even the emperor couldn't solve these things, let alone him.
This also caused him to be in danger several times. If Han Du hadn't rescued him, he would have been able to beat the drum with his bones.
After seeing all the filth in the officialdom, he discovered the innocence and beauty of the academy. So after careful consideration, he resigned and returned to the academy.
The moment he returned to the academy, Fang Xiaoru felt that every breath he took was refreshing, and the wind blowing by his ears could make him feel happy.
Only then did he truly understand what it means to "return to nature after being in a cage for a long time."
For him, the officialdom was a cage, while the academy was his world of freedom.
Sure enough, after listening to Han Du's words, Fang Xiaoru showed hesitation on his face.
But Han Du didn't give him a chance to think, and simply slipped out of the study with his hands behind his back.
By the time Fang Xiaoru came to his senses, Han Du was nowhere to be seen, and he could only stamp his feet angrily, "I shouldn't have listened to his nonsense and fallen into his trap again."
But Fang Xiaoru was gritting his teeth with hatred, but a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Han Du wandered around the academy leisurely, smiling when he saw the scenes of common people everywhere.
Suddenly, Han Du thought of Zhu Zhanji. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the relationship between him and Yu Qian is not as simple as it seems.
After pondering for a moment, Han Du decided to go find him in person and ask for details.
Arriving at Prince Yan's Mansion, Han Du stated his intention.
When the guard saw that it was the Duke of Zhen Guo, he quickly saluted respectfully and said, "Master, wait a moment, I will go and report."
Han Du waved his hand to signal him to go quickly, and then sat and waited inside the side door.
Zhu Zhanji was very surprised when he heard that Han Du was coming, but he quickly reacted and came out to welcome Han Du in person.
"You can just come in when your father-in-law is here, why do you need to wait here?"
As he said that, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and ordered the guards, "From now on, you don't need to inform me when you come, you can directly invite me in. Do you hear me?"
"I understand." The guard was scolded a few times and quickly lowered his head to answer.
Han Du glanced at the guard, then looked at Zhu Zhanji, smiled and waved his hands: "Whatever the rules are, they are the rules. There is no need to make an exception for me."
The main reason is that Han Du feels that he will rarely come to Zhu Zhanji in the future, and of course he does not need to sell his favor.
"How can that be done? You don't need to inform me when you enter the palace. If you still need to inform me when you come here, wouldn't you put me on the fire?" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.
Then he asked the guard again, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard this!" The guard bowed again.
After making enough gestures, Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand towards Han Du and said, "Master, please!"
After Han Du returned the gift, he walked into Prince Yan's Mansion side by side with Zhu Zhanji.
Han Du had been to Prince Yan's Mansion before, although not many times, but he still had an impression of the scenery in the mansion.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Han Du suddenly discovered something.
He raised his head and looked around, then said to Zhu Zhanji: "The scenery in this mansion is not much different from before. You haven't changed it since you moved in?"
"No." Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile.
After a pause, seeing Han Du still looking at him, he explained: "First of all, after all, this is the former palace of Grandpa Huang. As our grandchildren, it is best not to change it rashly."
"Secondly, we won't stay in Daming for too long. Maybe we will go back after a while. It's just a temporary stay, there is no need to change."
Han Du nodded and asked no more questions.
The two of them came to the inner hall and sat down together, making tea.
After a few words of greeting, Zhu Zhanji saw that Han Du remained calm, and he began to murmur in his heart.
He didn't know why Han Du came back to see him today, but his instinctive intuition was probably not a good thing. Only after he returned to the Ming Dynasty, Han Du targeted him everywhere.
Soon, Zhu Zhanji couldn't sit still anymore. He moved his body and asked curiously: "My father-in-law came to see us today. Is there anything important?"
Han Du slowly put down the tea cup and looked at him motionless.
Just when Zhu Zhanji felt strange and looked down at himself, Han Du said, "It's not that important..."
"Master, please tell me."
Han Du stared into Zhu Zhanji's eyes, "When did you and Yu Qian meet?"
Zhu Zhanji's pupils shrank suddenly, then returned to normal, and replied in as calm a tone as possible: "We just met him not long ago."
"When was it not long ago?" Han Du was somewhat aware of Zhu Zhanji's strangeness just now, but the feeling passed by in a flash, so he was not sure.
