Chapter Seventy-One: The Academy
For his father to have such thoughts, Du Ruo also thinks it's normal.
In other matters, Daddy Du has always been a bearish mentality, but only on the issue of being a man, he has been holding Du Ruo's ear and telling her since she was a child.
Studying is not for fame, but for learning to be a man.
Joining the office is not to glorify the ancestors, but to let more people have the opportunity to be upright individuals.
It should be what you deserve, you must have the courage to fight for it, and you can't be greedy and lack what you shouldn't get.
"Unrighteous wealth and nobility are like floating clouds to me."
These are all fates that have been engraved in Du Ruo's bones since childhood.
And Daddy Du's sigh, although it is a little mean, but it is an indisputable fact, if those people were not out of excessive attachment to beauty, hoping to exchange their amazing looks for marriage and wealth, they would not have ended up like this.
On the contrary, the women who were taken away to refine Hongyanlu because they drank Huarong Yuexiang tea were really unlucky and innocent.
Similarly, for the murder house in Tonghe County next door, she doesn't believe that there will be any murders for no reason.
Even if the other party is a so-called "evil ghost", why don't you go elsewhere and choose Tonghe County? Why is it that house again?
Obviously, there are a lot of reasons behind this, but they haven't been dug up yet, so there's no way to know.
After dinner, Du Ruo was really tired, so he went back to the room to rest alone, and Ye Yuanzhou was left by Daddy Du to play chess with him.
Du Ruo knew that Ye Yuanzhou was a measured person and was not reckless, although his father said that he sometimes looked like an old naughty boy, he was not a random person.
Besides, as far as the two of them are capable, they can't do anything to Ye Yuanzhou if they are tied together.
So she slept very well this night, slept comfortably until dawn, and when she got up in the morning, she only felt refreshed, and couldn't help but sigh that no place was as good as her own home, and if she could carry her bed together wherever she went, it would be better.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Du Ruo couldn't help laughing at himself.
Is this good night's sleep really due to the bed I slept in since I was a child?
Naturally not.
Her stability was given to her by her home, and when she left this door and left this courtyard, even if she carried the bed all the way to Songzhou, she would not find the same feeling.
When Du Ruo got dressed and walked out of the room, Ye Yuanzhou and Daddy Du had already gotten up, Daddy Du was teasing the thrush he raised under the porch, and Ye Yuanzhou's side, a long sword danced silver.
Whether the Du family is practicing medicine or studying, there has never been a martial arts practitioner in generations, Du Ruo has seen Ye Yuanzhou's martial arts before, and now he feels that watching him dance the sword is pleasing to the eye, let alone Daddy Du.
He didn't even tease the thrush, he just stood under the porch and watched Ye Yuanzhou practice.
Ye Yuanzhou was extremely involved in practicing martial arts, and when he finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and saw that Du Zhong and Du Ruo's father and daughter were looking at him, and he was a little embarrassed, so he smiled at Du Ruo first, and then hugged his fist at Du Zhong.
"Uncle, did Yuanzhou's sword practice disturb you?" He asked.
Daddy Du waved his hand: "Don't disturb, don't disturb!" Ye Duwei is good at martial arts, if you have the opportunity in the future, you might as well teach my daughter who is not a weapon? ”
"Dad, are you kidding?" Du Ruo smiled, "I'm not the material for martial arts!" ”
"Who wants you to practice martial arts to kill the enemy, although you are my daughter, I don't think you are so high!" Du Zhong seized the opportunity and didn't forget to squeeze Du Ruo's two sentences by the way to tease her, "The essence of martial arts is naturally not something that can be mastered overnight, I just need you to learn a trick and a half with Ye Duwei, and it is enough to protect yourself at a critical moment." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, with me here, I will do my best to protect Du Sima." Ye Yuanzhou said busily.
Du Zhong waved his hand: "The saint handed over such an errand to the two of you, there is one and two, although you are still the commander of Songzhou Sima and Shangqingche in name, in fact, you are now the role of Qincha."
The errand that the Holy Lord has appointed you to do, implying a secret investigation and secret visit, then this must not be a soft bun to chew.
It's like going into the mud river to touch the loaches, there are something hidden in the muddy water, no one can predict it, if it is done, it may be promoted and rewarded in the future, and the lintel will be glorified. ”
Du Zhong sighed and said to Du Ruo: "As the so-called backing on the mountains and relying on everyone to run, I don't mean that Ye Duwei is unreliable, but he is just a mortal in the flesh, no matter how strong his martial arts are, he will inevitably have a dilemma where two fists are invincible to four hands."
If that's the case, you'll be able to protect yourself, not only for your own safety, but also for the sake of not dragging others down. ”
Du Ruo has rarely seen his father speak so solemnly since he was a child, so he also put away his joke thoughts, and nodded seriously: "Father is right!" Then I will definitely ask Ye Duwei for advice in the future! ”
Ye Yuanzhou also hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find a good way for Du Sima to protect himself!" ”
Du Zhong nodded at him, his attitude seemed to be much more intimate and easy-going than when they first met the day before, and he didn't know if the two of them had played chess smoothly the night before.
"Let's go, eat! After dinner, I'll take the two of you to the academy to talk to that Tonghe county! Du Zhong waved his hand at the two of them, "Since it is an errand assigned to you by the Holy Lord, you still have to do your best to do it as soon as possible, the more you drag it out, the more you will have long nights and dreams." ”
Du Ruo also felt that without further ado, it was always right to seize an opportunity in everything.
The three of them simply had a breakfast of porridge and side dishes, although it was simpler, Ye Yuanzhou ate it very deliciously, and even more relish than when he had dinner in the Hussar General's Mansion.
After eating, Du Zhong took two people out of the house and went to the academy, almost all the people they met along the way knew their father and daughter, and greeted them warmly, it can be seen that in Duanshan County, the popularity of Du Zhong and Du Ruo's father and daughter is still quite good.
When they arrived at the academy, the nursing home at the gate saw Du Zhong and greeted them from afar, and shouted with his mouth closed, not to mention how enthusiastic he was, and he didn't ask what he was here for, leading them inside.
When the people in the academy saw Du Zhong, they all hurriedly ran to greet him respectfully, even if Du Zhong only gave a faint response, they would be very happy.
There are also people who obviously didn't meet them by chance, and they also deliberately ran out of the school, just to say hello to Du Zhong on the side of the road.
