Lin'an City.

The news of the queen's death has not yet reached this place, and the lives of the people are as usual.

The summer has just passed, and although it has not yet arrived at the cool autumn, it is not as hot as before.

On Xizi Lake, there are also more cruises during the day.

Wen Zhang and Wen Min followed Fang Yu Fang Daru to Jiuxi.

This is an old habit of Yuquan Academy.

Every autumn, when I meet the mountain in Changliang, I will take a few students out for autumn, enjoy the scenery and search for the ancient times.

This time I spent two days in the mountains, staying in Fayu Temple, listening to the bells and drums in the temple and the birds singing in the forest, lyrics, and classmates commenting on each other to enhance their knowledge.

After they came down from the mountain, the other students went home on their own, and Fang Yu only brought four or five close disciples to visit friends.

This friend is Kong Daru.

The Kong family lives in the west of Lin'an City, and the mansion is simple and ancient.

Fang Yu led his disciples to visit his friends, so he asked them to follow the Confucius family's children to see the scenery in the garden and say something to Confucius Daru.

He smiled and said, "I'm just visiting my friends, and it's not necessary to invite you out and teach in the academy. You don't have to be so nervous."

"You have been lobbying five times since I returned to Lin'an," Kong Daru snorted. "This time I brought my students here. I know that I cherish my talents. When I meet a good seedling, I can't help but teach me? Aren't you afraid that I won't go to the academy to teach, but instead kidnap people out of the academy?"

Fang Yu laughed: "Today, all the people who come here are all qualified and good children who are dedicated to their studies. They can really catch your eyes and let you teach by your side. It is their blessing."

The academy is taught in the lobby. In addition to students who want to improve their academic performance in order to run the school, Yuquan Academy also has many nobles in the city who send their children to the name of the school.

Fang Yu couldn't drive everyone out and accept the tutoring of these people, which was also a reliance on him to allow some students with good character and academic performance but poor family to continue studying.

No matter how tight the academy takes on the homework of "good children", it is indeed true, and it is not as good as following Kong Daru.

It has nothing to do with the level of teaching for two people, but with the way of learning.

"Continue to flatter," Kong Darudao, "Although I have never said it publicly, Xiao Shier is indeed a closed disciple."

It’s not that he doesn’t want to recruit talented disciples anymore, but that he is too old and cannot bear the physical strength or energy.

It doesn’t take much attention to a few words of advice on a daily basis, but like Professor Xiao Shier, he can’t take him out and look at the mountains, cities and people.

It was reluctant to take it down, but it also let down a good seedling.

"I knew you would say that," Fang Yu said, "It's just a lecture. I'll come here once or twice in a month to tell the students about your experiences and insights over the years. That's all, you're complicated by yourself."

It is not good for older people to just stay idle.

Especially for those who teach and educate people, when they don’t let him teach, he will feel uncomfortable.

Fang Yu came to invite him again and again, not only to cherish the knowledge of Confucius and also to be entrusted by the Confucius family.

Going to the academy and getting along with young students is good for Kong Daru's health.

"Let me think about it again," Kong Darudao, "Don't always say that I wasted a lot of ink. In life, there are always regrets and things that cannot be perfect. The people around me don't say anything, just say that Xia Taifu, you are the best friends with him, but I don't have the opportunity to learn from him."

Only once, when Confucius finished his lecture, he realized that among the people who were listening to the lectures, was the Grand Tutor Xia.

He wanted to chase him out, but Taifu Xia left first due to government affairs.

After that, I always thought that I would meet again, but I didn't expect...

"By the way," Fang Yu stroked his hands, "One of the students who came with me was the grandson of Taifu Xia, who was talented."

Wen Zhang was invited to the study room and respectfully bowed to Kong Daru again.

"Grandson?" Kong Daru looked at Wen Zhang, "Of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Wen Zhang nodded and answered "Yes".

Kong Daru asked again: "The girl who has been a princess to read..."

"It's the student sister." Wen Zhang replied.

Kong Daru touched his beard and looked at Wen Zhang heavily.

It is difficult to assert how you learn, just look at your appearance, but you can see the clues by just looking at your character.

He is a good kid.

The Ding'an Marquis' Mansion was also in great ups and downs. The girl married the fourth son, but she didn't know whether to wait for them to fall or rise again.

Kong Daru did not enter the officialdom and stayed away from the court, but he was still paying attention to the news.

He had been in love with the emperor for many years, and had contacts when the emperor was just an ordinary prince. Moreover, it was because he personally handed over the fourth prince to Huo Huairen.

How could Kong Daru not care about the baby rescued from such a crisis?

In a flash, it has been almost twenty years.

The child in the cradle has grown up and married a wife.

Unfortunately, his good friend Huo Huairen could not withstand the death of his wife and children and passed away shortly after returning to Beijing.

"Oh," Kong Daru sighed and smiled bitterly with Fang Yu. "Even though he was in this age, he had one foot in the coffin, he would still sigh that the world was impermanent and often regret that Yingcai died early."

Fang Yu said, "So you are a great scholar in the dynasty, and you are not a great monk."

Confucius and Dashu were both ridiculous and crying.

An old friend who was not talking nonsense, Kong Daru looked at Wen Zhang and said, "Just learn from you, don't learn from him that is unregulated."

Fang Yuheng smiled.

He knew Confucius and naturally realized that the other party seemed unwilling to say a few more words to Wen Zhang.

In theory, Kong Daru regretted that he did not have the opportunity to communicate with Taifu Xia, so he should have good intentions for Wen Zhang. Moreover, Wen Zhang himself is the most satisfied student of being a teacher...

Let Wen Zhang withdraw first, and then just ask Kong Daru carefully.

Kong Daru touched his beard: "It's a good student, so I'll say less, otherwise it will make me feel itchy and want to accept my children. Xiao Shier inexplicably wants more junior brothers."

This is obviously not the truth.

When he met Kong Daru, he was not easy to ask, so he gave up.

After seeing off Fang Yu and a group of students, Kong Daru stroked the teacup, hung his deep eyelids, and spoke silently.

Why don’t you want to say a few more words to Wen Zhang?

Because Wen Zhang is the brother-in-law of the fourth son.

And he is the only few people who know the true background of the Fourth Young Master.

The emperor has been hiding so many people over the years. The emperor is unwilling to do so and does not want anyone to reveal the secret. Kong Daru naturally shuts his mouth tightly.

If a person sits on the dragon throne for a long time, he will become suspicious.

During these twenty years, Kong Daru did not see the emperor again and stayed away from the court, and he also had this consideration.

If he had been in contact with Wen Zhang for too much and it was passed to the emperor's ears, even if he had not said a word, it would not be a good thing.
