God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 796 lackeys under the door
Only then did Du He notice that Hou Yi's stamina and head were covered with bloodstains.

"Are you injured?" Du He asked.

Hou Yi shook his head: "The county magistrate, no, I have always been careful in doing things, so I won't get hurt. These are all things I couldn't help but catch when I was thinking."

Ugh!
poor child!

Du He looked at the other party and asked, "Is it because of this that you can't figure it out?"

Hou Yi: "Yes!"

Du He smiled: "Then you should know that if you study cement, you can be an official?" Du He asked lightly.

Hou Yi: "Naturally, I can't. To study cement, I'm just a craftsman."

Du He continued to ask: "Can you participate in the scientific examination?"

Hou Yi didn't hesitate: "No, the knowledge of cement and scientific research has nothing to do with each other!"

Du He asked again: "Can it bring you great fame?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Today's celebrities are mostly Confucian scholars, and there are a small number of Taoist and Buddhist masters. They have never seen a craftsman who gained a reputation. A person as powerful as Mr. Lu is rarely known in the capital! "Hou Yi analyzed seriously.

"That's it, that's it. Since you can't be an official, you can't gain fame, you can't take part in scientific examinations... why would anyone be interested!" Du He said indifferently.

boom.

Hou Yi was taken aback.

Du He's few short words were like a slap in the face, and solved the perplexity in his heart at once.

Yes, that's the reason, so no one is interested in fetishes like cement.

After a while, he said unwillingly: "But, magistrate, this is cement, this is a fetish! How can they be so short-sighted?"

Du He laughed: "This is so strange. It has been like this since ancient times. Since ancient times, the knowledge of sages has been consistent and has not been lost. However, how many skills and hard work of skilled craftsmen in ancient times have been lost. It is a kind of sadness that people use wood to build houses, and people do the same today... There are many reasons for this, but one thing must be clear, that is, since ancient times, people have not valued science!"

"Science? Could it be that Mr. Lu said, county magistrate, did you teach Yuan Qingfeng their knowledge at Banshan College?" Hou Yi became inexplicably interested.

Duhe nodded.

"The cement is also science?"

"Yes!"

"And what is science?"

"Science is all knowledge in the world, and cement is one of them. You only saw that I invented cement. Do you know why we use limestone instead of other stones? Do you know that gypsum is used as raw material? ?” Du He asked with a smile.

Hou Yi shook his head.

"When you figure this out, you'll be considered a science student!"

puff.

Hou Yi suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed for a few thoughts, and then said sincerely: "Master, I want to worship you as my teacher, and I want to learn science from you! I want to be a running dog under your family!" !"

Du He's mouth twitched!

Running dogs!

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 Highness the King of Shu are all lackeys of the county magistrate. They follow behind the county magistrate. The fox pretends to be the tiger and acts as a minion for the tiger. He will die..."

Du He: "..."

This young master's reputation is so bad?

It really makes no sense!

This must be a false accusation!

Let that bastard, King of Shu, look it up later, there must be someone doing bad things in this young master's name and ruining this young master's name!

Du He still attaches great importance to his own reputation.

This happened, of course, with a heavy heart.

He doesn't speak.

Hou Yi knelt on the ground like this.

Kneeling until his legs became numb, he dared not stand up.

Time passed slowly.

At some point, Du He's door was opened from the outside.

A figure appeared at the door.

It was Hou Yi's father, Hou Junji, who was the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The first time Hou Junji opened the door, he saw Du He sitting on a chair with his legs raised, while his son Hou Yi was kneeling on the ground, as if pinching Du He's legs?
Hou Junji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

My father was worried about you all day and all night, but you were lucky enough to beat Du He's legs here, and you were still kneeling.

This rebellious son has never kneeled down to his parents at home!
rub rub.

Hou Junji rushed up, raised his hand, and slapped Hou Yi across the face.

"Nizi, get up!" Hou Junji roared angrily.

Hou Yi covered his face, and when he saw Hou Junji, he was also confused: "Father, why are you here?"

Du He hurriedly got up and gave the chair to Hou Junji: "Old Hou, why are you here? Didn't you say that you will come to pick up Mr. Hou tomorrow?"

snort!
Hou Junji glared at Du He, and said angrily: "If I didn't come earlier, how would you still want to bully my son? I finally know why my son became so stupid. It's you... Du He, You have humiliated my son so much, I will never end with you!"

Du He quickly comforted: "Old Hou, calm down, listen to me!"

"I don't have time to listen!" Hou Junji turned around and kicked Hou Yi, "Nizi, why are you still kneeling, why don't you get up and come home with me?"

Hou Yi thought for a while, but said, "Father, I won't go!"

"It's against you?"

Hou Junji's temper flared up, he grabbed Hou Yi and beat him for a while.

It was a brutal beating!
What Hou Yi called was heart-piercing!
Finally, Hou Junji was also tired.

But Hou Yi still knelt on the ground: "Father, I have already worshiped the county magistrate as my teacher. 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 made the last big move.

But Hou Yi still did not change his mind, "Father, I know, if you let me go back, I will definitely go back to the Imperial College to study, and then I will go to the court to be an official, but my son doesn't like being an official. After a while, I have figured it out, I want to be a useful person to the world, not a court official, and spend my life in mediocrity!"

"you……"

Bang bang bang.

Hou Yi kowtowed to Hou Junji one after another, finally raised his head, and said resolutely, "Father, the child is not filial!"

"Good... good... very good..." Hou Junji was so angry that his hands were shaking, he pointed at Hou Yi, "From now on, I don't have your son!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Walking to the door, Hou Junji suddenly turned around, pointed at Du He and said, "Du He, we were as close as uncles and nephews before, and I have always treated you well. From now on, you are my enemy. snort!"

"Hey, Lao Hou, listen to me, hey..."

Du He hurriedly chased him out, but Hou Junji was already walking away.

Lao Hou left with anger.

Du He thought to himself, it's over, this beam is finally settled.

He turned his head and looked at Hou Yi speechlessly.

It's all because of this dog!

But Hou Yi crawled over, grabbed Du He's clothes, and said joyfully, "Teacher, did you agree to accept me as an apprentice?"
