At the Duke of Xu's residence.
The three generals and the two civil servants stared at each other, but no one said a word.
Finally, Changsun Wuji spoke first.
"I understand everyone's thoughts."
He glanced at Fang Xuanling, then turned to Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, and said with emotion,
"We all just want to pass on this decent family business!"
"As the old saying goes, it's easier to conquer a country than to remain in it. Nowadays, the emperor's heirs have young teachers to teach them, and all of them are outstanding. We all envy them, right?"
"Your Majesty is smiling happily now and has no worries anymore, but what about us? We are worried..."
When Yuchi Gong heard this, he nodded with deep understanding.
"Yes, look at these melons. They are not good at writing or martial arts. How can they not worry about it?"
He sighed,
"There are not many battles to fight in the Tang Dynasty now. Even if the Turks are to be destroyed, it will probably be Li Jing and Li Ji who take the initiative. Even I may not be able to gain military exploits! From now on, the world will be at peace..."
"In the future, it will be impossible to continue to be glorious by relying on military exploits. The only way out for boys like them is to follow the path of civil servants..."
Cheng Yaojin patted the armrest, shook his head and said:
"But this road is not that easy to walk... Even if it is difficult for us to walk, let alone them?"
"Our baby knows all about it! In addition to having a noble background, he is a mud-legged child. He is incomparable with those babies who come from a scholarly family with a profound foundation! Even those from aristocratic families have There are a lot of mediocre people out there, let alone us?"
Fang Xuanling gently stroked his beard.
"Right now, I can only place my hope in the young master, who has the Midas touch to turn stone into gold."
He said helplessly,
"I don't want this rotten love of my family to turn into a miracle, but at least... it's a little more sensible and less stupid... I'll be satisfied."
It could be heard that the old man had no choice but to deal with his son.
He was famous all his life for being wise and wise, but he gave birth to such a melon child. When he came back from his dream at midnight... he was very depressed!
And when the reign name was discussed in the East Palace that day, the performance of Li Chengqian, Li Qingquan and other emperor's heirs really amazed them!
Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I brought my son to my door to pay New Year greetings.
I only have one request—please ask Xu Fenglei to accept a disciple and help him train me!
Everyone in the hall had their own difficulties, but Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong were slightly better off.
Compared with others, Changsun Chong and Qin Huaidao were both quite smart. At least they knew how to play chess instead of using urine and mud to enjoy the game.
But the more this happens, the more they want to find a good teacher for their children.
No matter how good a craftsman is, a piece of stone cannot be polished into jade.
But if it is a piece of rough jade, if it is polished by an expert, it will definitely shine!
If my boy can take Xu Fenglei as his disciple, there will be at least three benefits!
First, you don’t have to worry about education issues. Having Datang’s top teacher teach in person will definitely produce better results than hiring a hundred teachers!
Secondly, we have become closer to the young master Xu Fenglei. They are both old ministers of Tiance, so their relationship will become even closer!
Thirdly, having the title of master and apprentice, even if it is not formal, can give the children a huge protective umbrella. If they accidentally get into trouble in the future, the master will still speak for them!
Whether in this dynasty or the new dynasty of the future prince, Xu Fenglei, as the future imperial master, has a very high status and has a very important say!
How can you not be tempted by these three real benefits? !
Even people like Li Jing and Li Ji who were not familiar with Xu Fenglei were excited! It's just that the relationship between the two parties is not good enough after all, and they are embarrassed to lead their son to the door shamelessly.
As for the few people in front of me, they are all familiar veterans, so naturally they don't pay attention to that.
But the crux of the matter is - this matter can only be done by being thick-skinned, Xu Fenglei must agree!
"cough……"
Qin Qiong took a sip of tea, spit out the tea leaves, and whispered,
"Let's stop fighting. We are all old brothers and we all have the same wish."
"How about making the young master agree? We have prepared a lot of gifts, but the young master has never been short of money. He also said that he has no interest in external things."
"I see...the key is attitude. This attitude must be low enough! You are asking for help...not shabby!"
"Yes, yes." Cheng Yaojin and others nodded in agreement.
Especially Fang Xuanling, who nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
If the young master is willing to accept Fang Yiai, he can do it just by kneeling down and kowtow!
Several big guys were discussing in whispers when they saw a carriage parked outside the gate of the house.
A group of servants began to move things inside the door. They looked exactly like before!
"Someone is here again!"
Yuchi Gong said unhappily,
"I don't know who it is this time, but we have to agree that our vegetable plot has been circled so no outsiders can come in!"
"One more person means more competition. No matter who it is, we will pretend we don't know him and won't play with him!"
The more people there are, the more sense of crisis he has!
After all, people's energy is limited. If Xu Fenglei wants to teach the emperor's heirs, it would be great if he can have time to teach their children!
With so many children, they are so picky and picky, how can his Pauline be ranked first?
I'm afraid I'll be eliminated if I'm the first one!
Oh no, if Fang Yiai is here, he should be the second one.
"Yes, yes, I won't play with him..."
Fang Xuanling nodded repeatedly, with worry in his eyes.
"Oh? Who said you won't take me with you?"
A burst of laughter came, and only a human voice was heard,
"What are you old helpers talking about in such whispers? You don't even take me with you?"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the person stepping out of the carriage was none other than Du Ruhui!
"It is you……"
Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said,
"Ruhui is here, sit down, sit down."
They still recognized Du Ruhui, a core member of Tiance's old ministers. What I just said didn't apply to him.
Du Ruhui smiled and stepped forward to cup his hands, then turned and ordered behind him:
"Be careful! Although these New Year's gifts from me are not rare items worth thousands of gold, they were carefully selected for a long time! If the hair is too frizzy and the items are damaged, I am not forgiving of family skills!"
"Yes, sir."
The servants carefully carried the New Year's goods and once again piled up a hill in the yard.
However, compared to Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji. The New Year's goods from Cheng Yaojin and others are a bit unsatisfactory. They are only half of theirs, which is about the same as Fang Xuanling.
The two of them were honest people. In addition to their salary, their daily expenses for food and clothing were the three melons and two dates given by the emperor.
Bringing so many years of goods here is already a huge hemorrhage!
"Ruhui..."
Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, then looked around him, fixed his eyes on the carriage, and said cautiously,
"Have you taken care of your son?"
Du Ruhui was stunned: "...ah?"
