Du Tong has a handsome appearance and a cold temperament, like green pines and cold cypresses. Even though he is over sixty, he still has a unique style.
Among thousands of people, he is the most attractive one.
The calmness of returning to indifference after experiencing the vicissitudes of life is particularly heartbreaking.
Even though he now holds the fictitious title of Taifu and has no real official position, no one dares to look down upon him.
However, in Du Fengju's opinion, all of the above are false.
What a cool and calm look, that's just an act, used to fool outsiders!
No, my father was scratching his hair irritably and murmuring: "How could this happen? Princess Changding's Mansion is choosing a face, right? It must be different from what I thought!"
Du Fengju thought for a while, but ruthlessly exposed his father's fantasy and said: "Father, she is not that kind of person."
Although he had only met Princess Changding twice, and both times Princess Changding was teasing him, he could tell that there was no teasing intention in her eyes.
There is even a depth that is trying to be suppressed.
He didn't know what this kind of depth was, but he had seen something similar in the eyes of another person.
That was his adoptive father. He looked gloomy and violent, but in fact, the sobriety and warmth that he suppressed were the most important things.
Moreover, what Princess Changding showed these two times...
Du Fengju didn't mean to say that he had a burning gaze, but he did feel that she was acting deliberately.
What is the purpose?
Pei Yanshan and the others are still investigating, and it’s not clear yet.
Therefore, the orders given by such a deep, sober Princess Changding who can also act will not be as simple as they appear.
To be precise, he has been in Hedong and has never been in contact with Princess Changding, so the rumors of being pampered and arrogant do not count here.
Only he who has had contact with her himself can make a judgment.
Du Tong shook his head and said, "You don't know that Princess Changding is spoiled by the emperor and Concubine Jiang, and she can do all kinds of ridiculous things."
He didn't believe that the daughter taught by Concubine Jiang had nothing to fear!
"..." Du Fengju couldn't accept this.
If he hadn't been very aware of how deeply he loved his deceased mother, he would have really suspected that his father had some unspeakable intentions in targeting Concubine Jiang and her daughter.
Or maybe Concubine Jiang and her daughter were really favored by the emperor, so they attracted all the dissatisfaction and attacks from the courtiers.
Among them, his father's was included.
These are not things he needs to worry about now.
"Father, please slow down your memorial for now, and then talk about it after the wedding ceremony is over. There is no shortage of time to recruit talented people from all over the world for the emperor."
He knew that his father had such an idea and had already written a memorial. He wanted to implore the emperor to collect young scholars from Jingzhao and open a Hongwen Hall outside the Imperial College so that they could make full use of their talents.
What a good idea this was, he admired his father endlessly!
All my father thought about was for the sake of the country, and he had a long-term vision, but... Princess Changding's Mansion also issued a similar order.
The situation is a bit more subtle.
What would the emperor think if his father wrote this memorial again?
Others cannot guess the thoughts of a king, and it is best not to guess.
Du Tong thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's the only thing."
That memorial is indeed not suitable for publication now. If the emperor thinks that he and Princess Changding have united with each other, it will be bad.
Du Tong did not dare to say he understood the students he had taught.
The other party is already an emperor.
However, Du Tong still understood his son: "Do you have a good opinion of Princess Changding?"
At least, it was in the eyes of the younger son.
If the younger son dislikes someone, he won't even say a word.
"Well, I think she seems to be hiding something. I'm curious."
Du Fengju would not hide anything from his father, he really felt that way.
Furthermore, he had never seen anyone better-looking than himself, so he looked a little more suspiciously at him.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and Du Fengju believes that he is no exception.
Mentioning this, Du Tong couldn't help laughing "haha" and said: "Yes, I dare to tease you with words. It's strange that you are not curious about others."
After he heard about this, he only had a sense of certainty that "it is indeed something that Princess Changding can do". He was really angry and had nothing to do with it.
After all, what does he, a master in his sixties, care about with a young girl who has just grown hair?
Leave it to your son to worry!
He looked at his youngest son's plain face and felt it was dazzling: "Fengju, do you have to wear this mask? It's too ugly!"
Thinking about the Du family, no one is ugly.
When he traveled when he was young, it was always a grand occasion of abundant melons and fruits, and his wife was even more beautiful, which dazzled him.
Among the other children he and his wife gave birth to, the sons were all rich and handsome, and the daughters were all beautiful.
Only Fengju, an old man...
well!
Du Fengju smiled, his eyes dark and bright: "Father, do you think it's appropriate for me to take off this mask?"
"...Not appropriate." Du Tong replied, feeling even worse.
Compared with Fengju's real face, this ordinary appearance is more suitable for walking in Jingzhao.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for Fengju to do whatever he wants to do.
Thinking of this, Du Tong became solemn and said in a solemn tone: "Father will not stop you from what you want to do, but you must think twice before you act and never put yourself in danger."
"Father, don't worry, I know what's going on."
If not, he would have shown his true colors long ago, why would he bother to cover it up like this?
Hearing Du Fengju's answer, Du Tong did not relax much. He looked at Du Fengju with complicated eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Father doesn't know whether sending you to Hedong was a good thing or a bad thing."
If Fengju hadn't been sent to Hedong by him and hadn't grown up next to that person. perhaps……
Du Fengju smiled with undisguised happiness in his eyes: "Father, I am still alive. This is of course a good thing."
This sentence made Du Tong silent and had to agree.
Yes, there is no possibility. If he had not sent Fengju to Hedong at that time, Fengju would have lost his life.
He couldn't think so extravagantly, how could there be such a thing to take advantage of?
Fengju grew up next to that person, and whatever he wants to do now is a matter of course. The only thing his father can do is to support him.
After all, he owed that man his life.
After Du Fengju returned to his room, Wei Yan appeared, smelling of wind, frost, and dew, but his face was so beautiful that it was almost coquettish, but there was a hint of a smile.
Just like peach blossoms stained with morning dew.
"Sir, there is something going on with Princess Changding!"
