Chapter seven hundred and ninety-five lackeys under the door
Only then did Du He notice that there were blood marks all over Hou Yi's back and head.
"Are you injured?" Du He asked.
Hou Yi shook his head: "My lord, that's not true. I'm always careful when doing things so that I won't get hurt. These are all things I couldn't help but catch when I was thinking."
well!
poor child!
Du He looked at the other party and asked, "Is that why you can't figure it out?"
Hou Yi: "Yes!"
Du He smiled: "Then you should know that you can become an official by studying cement?" Du He asked lightly.
Hou Yi: "Of course you can't. If you study cement, you are just a craftsman."
Du He continued to ask: "Can I take part in the scientific examination?"
Hou Yi did not hesitate: "No, cement and the knowledge of scientific examinations are completely unrelated!"
Du He asked again: "Can it bring great fame?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult. Most of today's celebrities are Confucian scholars. There are a few Taoist and Buddhist masters who have never gained fame as craftsmen. People as powerful as Mr. Lu are rarely known in the capital!
"Hou Yi analyzed carefully.
"That's it, that's it. Since you can't be an official, gain fame, or take part in scientific examinations... why would anyone be interested!" Du He said indifferently.
boom.
Hou Yi was stunned.
Du He's few words were like a wake-up call, instantly clearing up the puzzling confusion in his heart.
Yes, this is the reason, so no one is interested in such divine things as cement.
After a long while, he said unwillingly: "But, County Lord, this is cement, this is a sacred object! How can they be so short-sighted?"
Du He laughed: "What's so strange about this? This has been the case since ancient times. Since ancient times, the knowledge of saints has been consistent and has never been lost. However, many ancient skills and the efforts of many skilled craftsmen have been lost. The ancients thousands of years ago
People today use wood to build houses, which is a kind of tragedy... There are many reasons for this, but one thing needs to be clear, that is, people since ancient times have not paid attention to science!"
"Science? Did Mr. Lu say that you taught Yuan Qingfeng and the others at Banshan College?" Hou Yi became interested inexplicably.
Du He nodded.
"Then cement is also science?"
"yes!"
"What is science?"
"Science is all the knowledge in the world, and cement is one of them. You only saw that I invented cement. Do you know why we need to use burnt lime stone, but not other stones? Do you know that we need to use gypsum to make raw materials?
?" Du He asked with a smile.
Hou Yi shook his head.
"When you understand these things, you will be admitted to science!"
Plop.
Hou Yi suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed a few times, and then said sincerely: "County Lord, I want to become your teacher, I want to learn science from you! I want to be your lackey.
!”
Du He's mouth twitched!
The lackey!
Isn't this a curse?
"Who told you to be my lackey?" Du He said angrily.
Hou Yi scratched his head: "That's what people say outside. They say that Mr. Lu, Mr. Ma, and even His Royal Highness the King of Shu are all the lackeys of the county prince. They follow the county prince, pretending to be powerful, and acting as the aide of the tiger. They will die badly..."
Du He: "..."
My young master’s reputation is so bad?
This is really unreasonable!
This must be a false accusation!
I'll go back and ask that bitch, Prince of Shu, to investigate carefully. Someone must have done bad things in my name and destroyed my sign!
Du He still values his reputation very much.
When something like this happened, of course I felt very heavy.
He doesn't speak.
Hou Yi knelt on the ground like this.
He knelt until his legs went numb and did not dare to stand up.
Time passes slowly.
At some point, Du He's door was opened from the outside.
A figure appeared at the door.
It was none other than Hou Junji, the minister of the Ministry of War and Hou Yi's father.
The first time Hou Junji opened the door, he saw Du He sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, while his son Hou Yi was kneeling on the ground, as if he was squeezing Du He's legs?
Hou Junji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
My father has been worried about you all day and all night, but you are lucky enough to be here beating Du He's legs, and you are still kneeling.
This rebellious son has never knelt down to his parents at home!
Rub rub rub.
Hou Junji rushed forward, raised his hand, and slapped Hou Yi.
"You bastard, get up!" Hou Junji was furious and shouted.
Hou Yi covered his face and was confused when he saw Hou Junji: "Dad, why are you here?"
Du He quickly got up and gave his chair to Hou Junji: "Old Hou, why are you here? Didn't you say you would only come to pick up Mr. Hou tomorrow?"
snort!
Hou Junji glared at Du He and said angrily: "If I hadn't come earlier, how would you still want to bully my son? I finally know why my son became stupid and stupid. It was all you... Du He,
You actually humiliated my son like this, I’m not done with you!”
Du He quickly comforted him: "Lao Hou, calm down your anger and listen to me!"
"I don't have time to listen!" Hou Junji turned around and kicked Hou Yi, "Son, why are you kneeling down and why don't you get up and go home with me?"
Hou Yi thought for a while and then said: "Dad, I won't leave!"
"Is it against you?"
Hou Jun got angry and grabbed Hou Yi and beat him for a while.
The beating was so brutal!
What Hou Yi shouted was heartbreaking!
Finally, Hou Junji was tired.
But Hou Yi was still kneeling on the ground: "Dad, I have become a teacher of the county government. I won't leave. I want to study science with him, and I want to study cement!"
"Hou Yi, if you don't go back with me today, I will sever the father-son relationship with you!" Hou Junji used his last resort.
But Hou Yi still didn't change his mind, "Dad, I know that if you ask me to go back, I will definitely go back to the Imperial College to study, and then go to the imperial court to be an official. However, my son doesn't like to be an official. I am here in Hu County."
Over time, I have figured out that I want to be a useful person to the world, rather than being a court official and living a mediocre life!"
"you……"
Bang bang bang.
Hou Yi kowtowed to Hou Junji one after another, and finally raised his head and said resolutely: "Dad, the child is unfilial!"
"Okay...good...very good..." Hou Junji was so angry that his hands were shaking and he pointed at Hou Yi, "From now on, I don't have a son like you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When he reached the door, Hou Junji suddenly turned around, pointed at Du He and said: "Du He, before, we were as close as uncle and nephew. I have always treated you well. From today on, you are my enemy.
snort!"
"Hey, Lao Hou, listen to me, hey..."
Du He quickly chased after him, but Hou Junji was already walking away.
Lao Hou left in anger.
Du He thought to himself, it's over, the relationship is finally settled.
He turned back and looked at Hou Yi speechlessly.
It's all this bitch's fault!
But Hou Yi crawled over, grabbed Du He's clothes, and said happily: "Teacher, have you agreed to accept me as your disciple?"
