Zhu Zhanji's apprenticeship ceremony is more concise than that of Hua Shi, and Hua Shi's mother Yun Niang accompanied Hua Shi through the entire process of the apprenticeship ceremony.

But Zhu Gaochi left in a hurry after Zhu Zhanji finished serving the apprenticeship tea.

Only Chen Kan and Zhu Zhanji were left staring at each other in the Houfu Auditorium.

Seeing Zhu Gao's chubby back go away, Chen Kan and Zhu Zhanji collapsed at the same time.

As if his spine had been removed, he leaned softly on the stool, and his posture and expression were the same.

Chen Kan touched his mouth and muttered, "It's a little hot." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded in agreement: "It's really a little hot, otherwise let's go outside the city to play in the water." ”

Chen Kan shook his head: "I can go with Huashi, but you can't go." ”

Hua Shi's little head poked in from outside the door: "Teacher, you called me?" ”

Chen Kan beckoned to him: "When it comes to flowers, you come here." ”

"Woooo

Hua Shi trotted to Chen Kan's side, and his little face was full of anticipation.

Chen Kan said sickly: "Hour, in the past few days, you are responsible for teaching your senior brother pinyin and Arabic numerals, and when the progress of your two coursework is about the same, I will teach you new knowledge for the teacher." ”

When I heard that I didn't want to take myself to swim, the look of anticipation in the eyes of the flower dimmed visibly.

However, as soon as he heard that he was asking him to teach Zhu Zhanji to learn pinyin and numbers, his big eyes instantly lit up again.

Chen Kan was just about to send the two away, but Yun Cheng hurriedly entered the door.

"What's going on?"

Chen Kan looked at Yun Cheng who was roaring weakly.

"Hou ...... Master Hou..."

"It's a soul."

Chen Kan sat up lazily.

Yun Cheng ran to Chen Kan and gasped: "Master Hou, it's not good, His Royal Highness the King of Han has come down, just outside the door." ”

"King Han?"

Chen Kan glanced at Yun Cheng: "The King of Han is here, and the King of Han doesn't eat people." ”

Yun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained: "No, Lord Hou, King Han also brought a little boy and said that he would send him over to worship him as a teacher." ”

Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "You said that King Han brought a little boy to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Yun Cheng nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Gaoxu outside the auditorium walking towards several people in full armor, carrying a thin little boy in his hand.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to enter the Hou Mansion, and the gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion naturally couldn't stop him.

But wearing a suit of armor, this is also too arrogant.

Striding into the auditorium, Zhu Gaoxu threw the little boy at Chen Kan's feet, and said lightly: "Chen Kan, don't you like to accept apprentices, my son, five years old, smart and clever, also taught you." ”

This posture is like throwing a kitten or a puppy.

Chen Kan frowned and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly helped the thin little boy up.

The little boy had obviously just cried, and there were tear stains in the corners of his eyes.

was not cried by Zhu Gaoxu, but after being helped up by Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanji, he was a little aggrieved.

But he was glared at by Zhu Gaoxu, and instantly hid the aggrieved look on his face.

"Brother Gully."

Zhu Zhanji saw the little boy's face clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he glared at Zhu Gaoxu dissatisfiedly: "Second uncle, how can you treat Brother Yan like this." ”

The little boy is Zhu Gaoxu's eldest son, Zhu Zhanyan, who is one year younger than Hua Shi, and is only four years old this year.

Zhu Gaoxu ignored Zhu Zhanji's question, but stared intently at Chen Kan, who was frowning, and asked, "Do you accept it, or don't you accept it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhanyan cautiously glanced at Chen Kan.

Then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, broke free from the hands of Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanji, came to Chen Kan and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Please also ask the teacher to accept the disciple." ”

Looking at Zhu Zhanyan who was kneeling in front of him, Chen Kan couldn't help but glance at Zhu Gaoxu reproachfully.

He could see very clearly that when Zhu Zhanyan knelt down for himself, there were bruises on his little arms, and his figure was much thinner than that of an ordinary four-year-old child.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu is not interested in this eldest son.

And the bruises on his body, you don't have to think about it to know that it is Zhu Gaoxu's masterpiece, and others don't have the courage to abuse the grandiose grandson.

Chen Kan didn't speak, so Zhu Zhanyan knelt in front of Chen Kan and made a five-body bow.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't urge, just looked at Chen Kan, his eyes were full of inquiry.

After a moment of silence, Chen Kan turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanji: "Prepare apprenticeship tea for your little junior brother." ”

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi glanced at each other, turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

After a while, he rushed to Chen Kan with a teacup in his hand.

When he helped Zhu Zhanyan up, Chen Kan could clearly notice that Zhu Zhanyan's body was trembling slightly, and there was fear in his eyes.

Chen Kan didn't say much, and motioned to Zhu Zhanji to hand the tea to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanyan took the teacup, even if a pair of white and tender little hands were burned by the incredibly hot teacup, he refused to put it down.

It wasn't until the teacup was no longer so hot that Zhu Zhanyan respectfully handed the teacup to Chen Kan and said in a trembling voice: "Teacher, please drink tea." ”

Chen Kan took the teacup, took a symbolic sip of tea, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, Zhu Zhanyan has accepted it." ”

"Good!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, turned around and strode out of the auditorium, without looking back at Zhu Zhanyu.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi helped Zhu Zhan Yan up, and Chen Kan frowned and said, "Little guy, what were you afraid of just now?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and said stubbornly: "If you go back to the teacher, the disciple is not afraid. ”

Chen Kan stretched out his hand, rubbed it on his head, and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Don't be afraid, from now on, this is your home, they are your senior brother and second senior brother, tell the teacher, what were you afraid of just now?" ”

Perhaps it was the first time that he was treated so gently, and it was also the first time that someone made such an intimate gesture towards him, Zhu Zhanyan's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

But he still said with a stubborn face: "Teacher, the disciple is really not afraid. ”

Chen Kan nodded: "Okay, the teacher believes in you." ”

After speaking, Chen Kan was about to reach out and pull Zhu Zhan's little hand.

But Zhu Zhanyan suddenly retreated a few steps back like a frightened deer.

It's a pity that no matter how he retreats, he is still just a four-year-old child, how can he escape Chen Kan's clutches.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Kan grabbed him.

"Teacher ......"

Before he could speak, Chen Kan had already lifted his sleeves, and there were bruises one after another, mixed with whip marks that were about to bleed.

Zhu Zhanji exclaimed: "Brother Gully, why do you have so many injuries on your body, how did you get them?" ”

Hua Shi's pretty little face also twisted instantly, he stretched out his finger and poked the whip marks on Zhu Zhan's big arm, and asked with a sad face: "Little junior brother, it hurts, right?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan's eyes were red, but he still said stiffly: "It doesn't hurt, I fell it myself." ”

Chen Kan clamped Zhu Zhanyan with one hand, and quickly pulled off the clothes on his body with one hand, and sure enough, his small body was full of scars.

Chen Kan pursed his lips and ordered lightly: "Yun Cheng, get the medicine." ”

"Yes."

Yun Cheng looked at the injuries on Zhu Zhanyan's body, and his face was full of unbearable.

How can such a young child do it?

His clothes were stripped naked, and Zhu Zhanyan's little face was a little shy, but his body was clamped by Chen Kan, and he couldn't even move, let alone struggle.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Brother Yan, did the second uncle beat you, I'll tell the imperial grandfather and let him give you anger."

Looking at the shocking whip marks and bruises on Zhu Zhanji's body, Zhu Zhanji had never been so angry.

Now in his heart, the second uncle has been equated with beasts.

His own son, how can he do it?

After Yun Cheng retrieved the ointment, Chen Kan carried Zhu Zhanyan back to the room.

Zhu Zhanyan was lying on the bed, always feeling that this appearance was a little inappropriate.

Especially when three pairs of eyes stared at him naked, he was so ashamed that he wanted to escape.

The two little ones seemed to see his embarrassment, and one took him by the other.

Hua Shi comforted with a serious face: "Little junior brother, don't be shy, the teacher is giving you medicine, we are children, it's okay to take a look." ”

It's just that the comfort of the flower time did not have the effect he expected, and Zhu Zhanyan buried his face in the quilt.

Chen Kan applied the ointment to the palm of his hand and applied it to Zhu Zhan's wound little by little.

Some of the whip marks had not broken the skin, but the bruises had accumulated in the scars.

Zhu Gaoxu's heavy hand made Chen Kan couldn't help but tremble a little.

After applying the ointment, Chen Kan said lightly: "Now the teacher uses a needle to pick out the bruises and release the blood stasis inside, it may hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

Zhu Zhanyan nodded, buried his face in the quilt, and let Chen Kanshi do it.

As soon as Chen Kan got off the needle, Zhu Zhanyan couldn't help but shake his body, and cold sweat broke out from pain on his forehead.

But he never said a word.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi were full of worries, and tried their best to find topics to distract Zhu Zhanji.

After a stick of incense, Chen Kancai dried up the blood stasis on Zhu Zhanyan's body, and there was more than half a bowl.

Handing the blood stasis to Yun Cheng, who was waiting on the side, Chen Kan turned Zhu Zhanyan's little face to face him.

Then he looked at Zhu Zhanyan's little face that was swollen and red because of the pain, and said seriously: "From now on, this is your home, as a teacher, your sister, and senior brother; The second senior brother is your family, our family is very free, no one will beat you, and no one dares to bully you, you don't have to live so carefully in the future, you know?"

Chen Kan could see that although this little guy was not as old as Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi, he was very wary and a little precocious.

So he could only communicate with him in a milder tone as much as possible.

Zhu Zhanyan skillfully put on his clothes, got up from the bed, and nodded with some hesitation: "Got it, teacher." ”

Then he cautiously saluted Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi: "I've seen the big... Senior brother, second senior brother. ”

The words of the senior brother and the second senior brother suddenly made the two little children smile happily.

Zhu Zhanji put his arm around his shoulder very manly: "Little junior brother, don't worry, if the second uncle dares to beat you again in the future, I will go and tell the imperial grandfather and let the imperial grandfather teach him a hard lesson." ”

Hua Shi leaned over to him and said with a serious face: "Little junior brother, I will protect you in the future." ”
