Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Two: Young Soup
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Han Du put down the wine in his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Han Du asked this question, Tang Ding's mood suddenly collapsed. He cried and said, "I'm sorry, dad, woo woo woo."
Such a sentence came suddenly and he did not explain it clearly, which made Han Du even more filled with questions.
"What's going on? You should explain it clearly. If you don't explain it clearly, how can I think of a solution for you?"
Tang Ding heard Han Du's words and sighed dejectedly, "My family is unlucky, my family is really unlucky!"
"What on earth is going on!" Hearing Tang Ding cry and howl, Han Du couldn't help but ask loudly.
Stimulated by Han Du's words, Tang Ding regained some of his clarity and said, "It's not our incompetent brother. According to father's instructions, we finally found a Confucian scholar to teach him. As a result, he was good, not only did he not
Study hard and even beat up your husband. Beating up the teacher is simply lawless. Why do we have such a thing in our family?"
As soon as Tang Ding started talking about it, he started talking like a barrage of words.
But the more Han Du listened, the more confused he became, and he quickly interrupted him, "Wait, you mean Tang Fu? Isn't he serving in the army? Why is he studying at home?"
Tang Ding immediately explained, "It's not Tang Fu. Tang Fu is the second brother. I'm talking about the fifth brother Tang Li."
"You have such a younger brother? Why didn't I know?" Han Du knew that Tang He had two sons, Tang Ding and Tang Fu. The third and fourth sons had both died young, but he didn't expect that there was a fifth son.
.
Tang Ding suddenly looked embarrassed and said vaguely, "You were overseas at the time, so I didn't have time to tell you. Later, when you came back, maybe dad also forgot."
Han Du narrowed his eyes, and immediately realized that it was not as simple as Tang Ding said. I'm afraid it would probably involve the issue of legitimate sons and concubines, or it might be that the identity of Tang Li's mother was not valuable enough. Such things did not happen in the Duke's house.
Not uncommon, Han Du did not explore the rise of privacy in the Xinguo Palace.
"You mean Tang Li, Mr. Da?" Han Du was a little surprised.
After all, the current culture emphasizes the relationship between the master and the master, and the status of the master is not completely equal to that of the mother and father. Beating the master is just like beating one's parents, both are treasonous things.
When something like this happened, it's no wonder that Qian Yun, with Tang Ding's heroic spirit, had to lament the misfortune of his family!
Tang Ding nodded and said, "Originally, we just thought that he was uneducated and had no skills. We found many teachers but could not teach him well. This time we finally found a Confucian scholar. We originally hoped that he could change his ways. Unexpectedly, he
Even the teacher dared to beat him."
Speaking of Tang Li, Tang Ding already has seven or eight points.
I was so drunk that I couldn't stop shaking my head.
It can be seen that he has completely given up on his younger brother Tang Li. I am afraid that if Tang He had not given instructions before his death, he would not have wanted to take care of Tang Li anymore.
Han Du lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Confucian scholars are usually a little arrogant. In our opinion, they are a bit pedantic and do not know how to adapt. If I am not wrong, this Confucian scholar must have left now, right? Or is it even said that rotten wood cannot be carved?"
"
Tang Ding was shocked. He even sobered up a little. He looked straight at Han Du and asked, "How do you know so clearly, as if you saw it with your own eyes? Yes, that Confucian scholar was indeed furious that day.
He left, and also said that rotten wood cannot be carved out of soup."
Han Du smiled and pointed at his nose and said, "Don't forget, I am also a scholar. I don't know what is wrong with them. In fact, it is right for you to find a teacher to teach you. These people may not have that much knowledge.
The Confucian scholar is taller, but his patience is much better than him. For Tang Li, this is actually a good thing. But you have to go out of your way to find a Confucian scholar. It would be strange if this doesn't break out into a conflict."
"Then according to your opinion, it's my fault instead?" Tang Ding said loudly with his eyes widened.
Seeing that he was on the verge of breaking out, Han Du quickly comforted him, "That's not what I meant. I just think that sometimes the right one is the best."
"The best one is the one that suits you best?" Tang Ding clicked these words.
After a while, look
Xiang Handu said, "Since you said that, why don't you come and find a husband for Lao Wu? I'll see what kind of husband you can find. Of course, we don't ask him to get a degree in the future, as long as he can read and write."
Just hyphenate, okay?"
Han Du twirled the few beards on his chin and smiled slightly, "Let's take a look first and then talk."
Isn’t it easy to read and decipher? Which Qiuba in the Shanzi Camp and the Navy is not literate? I think back then, when I asked these bastards to study, they said that the hand holding the handle of the knife could not hold the pen. If I had not
If they were asked to study, they would rather die!
But now, aren't all those who have been trained by me can read and write? I don't see any of them dying! The hand that once held the knife handle can now hold the pen barrel firmly.
"Here comes someone!" Tang Ding shouted loudly toward the outside.
The butler left Gong Yao and ran in. He greeted him politely, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Where is that bastard?
?" Tang Ding didn't even want to mention Tang Li's name.
Han Du looked on and wanted to laugh. Being able to make the rather elegant Tang Ding so angry was quite a feat.
Without thinking, the housekeeper understood who the father-in-law was talking about.
He quickly replied, "Go back to me, sir. On my order, the fifth young master is still locked up in the woodshed."
Hearing that his younger brother was still locked up in the woodshed, Tang Ding couldn't bear it. His voice softened a lot and he said, "Go, bring him here."
"yes."
Before the butler could turn around and leave, Han Du stood up and said, "No, I'd better go and have a look in person."
With that said, Han Du followed the housekeeper.
Of course the butler would not refuse. He turned around and said with a smile, "The young man will lead the way for the Marquis."
When Tang Ding saw it, he hesitated for a moment while holding the wine bowl, then suddenly put the bowl down and said to Han Du's back, "Let's go with you."
Han Du followed the housekeeper to outside a woodshed.
The butler opened the door with the key and motioned to Han Du, "Master Marquis, please."
Han Du nodded and stepped into the woodshed. Suddenly, Han Du stopped, looked back at Tang Ding, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you coming in?"
Tang Ding glanced at Han Du, then at the group of figures inside, curled his lips and said, "If we see him, we will get angry and go to you."
Han Du shrugged noncommittally, turned and walked inside, and soon saw a young man lying on a ball of hay.
The housekeeper walked at the front and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly, "Fifth Young Master, I have already asked you to go out. Also, this is the Marquis of Zhenhai, who has made a special trip to see you."
At this time, although Tang Li was only a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he was very tall. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his hands were pillowed under the back of his head. His eyes were obviously open, but he was looking towards the roof.
He didn't even look at the housekeeper, let alone looked sideways at Han Du.
When the housekeeper saw that his young master was so unreasonable, he was immediately very embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Han Du.
Han Du waved his hand towards him and motioned for him to go out.
Han Du didn't take Tang Li's attitude to heart. Adolescent children will always deliberately confront you. Han Du himself has experienced this, and he clearly knows what he thought at the time.
The butler had no choice but to smile and exit.
Seeing that Tang Li was ignoring him, Han Du simply stepped forward and sat down on the ground.
After all, Duke Xinguo's mansion is a wealthy family, and the woodshed is also well built. The ground is also paved with bluestone slabs.
Yes, there won't be any soil at all. But due to the accumulation of wood, even charcoal and briquettes, over the years, the ground is naturally very dirty.
On the entire ground, only the ball of hay under Tang Li was clean, and the rest was a black mess.
Naturally, Han Du couldn't sit on the hay. As soon as he sat down, he saw black marks stained on the python robe.
"Are you Tang Li?"
When Tang Li saw Han Du sitting down, his eyes moved, as if he was a little surprised that Han Du was so straightforward. He slowly sat up, faced Han Du, and said, "We know you, you are Han Du."
Then he glanced at the place where Han Du was sitting. He would not sit in such a dirty place. He said with some disgust, "Why are you sitting on that dust?"
Han Du put his hands on his knees and said with a smile, "You know me, but this is the first time I've heard of you. That's my fault."
After looking down, he raised his head and said to Tang Li, "As for why you said I had to sit down? What does this mean? When your brother and I were on the grassland, we were ambushed by the Meng Yuan cavalry and had a great battle.
The ground was covered with blood and water mixed with mud. I was so tired at that time that I didn’t have any strength at all. I couldn’t even pull a dead person, so why didn’t I just fall into the blood and water?”
Han Du saw Tang Li's eyes rolling a few times when he talked about the grassland campaign, and he immediately knew that he was interested in it.
Sure enough, Tang Li glanced at Han Du and hesitated. After a few breaths, he finally said, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Han Du's eyes brightened a bit when he saw Tang Li, and he laughed and said, "If you don't believe it, your brother is at the door. Just ask him to come in and confront him."
When Tang Li heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "No, I believe you."
Do you believe me?
Han Du smiled slightly and thought to himself, "This is a good young man. How can he be as bad as Tang Ding said?"
Then he asked with a smile, "I heard that you beat your husband, why did you beat him?"
Since Tang Li began to believe in Han Du, he naturally became less wary of Han Du. Without thinking, he said, "I don't understand what he said. I said I didn't understand, and he got angry and hit me with a ruler. I was beaten by him."
If the beating hurts, I will beat him."
When Tang Ding heard this from outside, he almost jumped out of anger. Isn't it natural for you to be beaten by your husband with a ruler if you don't study hard? You dare to beat your husband because of this. Are you still reasonable?
If Han Du hadn't been here, Tang Ding would have definitely rushed in and cleaned up Tang Li. Since Han Du was inside now, that would be all.
