Like a tide, people poured into the academy day by day. Later, some people even came to the academy gate one night in advance to wait, 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.
"stick paper"
"Spontaneous combustion without fire"
"Fire from water"
Every topic is enough to make people talk about it, and it is enough to cause heated discussions in a quiet 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 case. The School of Mathematics had already proven itself.
When the 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 been known as “the world’s best mathematician”, so there will naturally 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 calls Yu Qian, Yang Qing, and Zhu Tan and gives them careful instructions, asking them to take care of the affairs of each academy and not to cause 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 always push things to me, 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 said confidently, "Why were you 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 anymore, 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 shouted angrily, "Let go!"
Han Du grabbed him tightly and said with a smile, "Are you sure?"
Fang Xiaoru suddenly felt a bad premonition. Based on his understanding of Han Du, whenever Han Du asked this question, he had 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 could not 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 a burst of happiness.
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 just 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 fell into his evil 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, beaming when he saw the scenes of common people everywhere.
Suddenly, Han Du thought of Zhu Zhanji. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the relationship between him and Yu Qian was not as simple as it seemed.
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, please wait a moment. I will go and report the situation."
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 had arrived, but he quickly reacted and came out to welcome Han Du in person.
"You can just come in when you arrive, why do you need to wait here?"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and ordered the guards, "From now on, you don't need to inform me when you come, you can just invite me in. Do you hear me?"
"I understand." The guard was scolded for a few words and quickly lowered his head to answer.
Han Du glanced at the guard, then looked at Zhu Zhanji, smiled and waved his hands, "The rules are the rules. 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 notify me when you enter the palace. If you still need to report when you come here, wouldn't you put my prince on the fire?" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.
Then he asked the guard again, "Did you hear that?"
"My subordinates heard it!" The guard bowed again and responded.
After making enough gestures, Zhu Zhanji reached out to Han Du and signaled, "Master, please!"
After Han Du returned the gift, he and Zhu Zhanji walked into Prince Yan's Mansion side by side.
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, and 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 smiled and shook his head.
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's better not to change it rashly."
"Secondly, we won't stay in Daming for too long. Maybe we will go back after a while. We are just staying temporarily and 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 look for him today, but his instinctive intuition was probably not a good thing. Ever since he returned to the Ming Dynasty, Han Du had 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 you have to do?"
Han Du slowly put down the teacup 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 each other not long ago."
"When was it not long ago?" Han Du was somewhat aware of Zhu Zhanji's strange behavior just now, but the feeling passed by in a flash, so he was not sure.
