Yang Haiyan was preparing dinner in the big kitchen, and Qin Fang was not idle either. He went to the barracks manor and brought Qin's father and Qin's mother to the general's residence. As for Qin's third uncle and his wife, they did not pick up. .

Qin's father and Qin's mother have been grateful to this Lord Du for a long time. They heard from their son and daughter-in-law that Mr. Du's good things have been said. And not long ago, the son and daughter-in-law told them that Mr. Du would come after some time. So when my son came to pick them up today, they said that Mr. Du was here. They were very excited, but they were also nervous.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Qin Fang sent them to the courtyard. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he went to find Du Ke.

Du Ke didn't rest in the afternoon, he made a record and wrote an excerpt, and the time was almost up. Du Ke was afraid that he would not be able to get up after the rest, so he sat in the room for a while before Qin Fang came.

Qin Fang saluted as soon as he entered the room: "I have seen the teacher."

Duco said, "Sit."

Qin Fang sat down a little embarrassedly. He was not nervous when Shen Lixian was there before. It was only him and the teacher at the moment. They were alone in private, so he had no reason to be nervous. Even after sitting down, he didn't even know how to put his hands. .

Du Kehe and the others, as soon as he looked at him, he said, "Don't be nervous, we have the emperor as the master and become master and apprentice, which is also fate. In March, I went to the Yongzhou military camp and led you to the imperial court, maybe it was fate. It's just that I didn't expect that you kidnapped me since then, and even dared to write to me." Thinking of this, Du Ke couldn't help but smile, it was the first time he had seen such a bold person. Thinking that when he was in the capital, let alone a poor and unreliable child, even the children of some basic aristocratic families would not dare to search for him in private.

However, it was Qin Fang's courage that brought their relationship closer.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang couldn't help but smile: "When I first saw the teacher in the Yongzhou military camp, the students were actually very nervous, and their legs were shaking. Later, because of the bandit suppression, the students first entered the officialdom, and they didn't know where to go. Speaking of this, but thinking of the teacher, I boldly wrote a letter to the teacher."

Du Ke snorted: "How do you know that the old man will take care of this matter? Or, how do you know that the old man and the magistrate are not the same raccoon dog?"

Qin Fang didn't know either. He frankly said, "The students chose to write to the teacher at the time, but they didn't know what to do? The reason for choosing the teacher was that when the teacher and the students were alone in Yongzhou Barracks, they were willing to consider the students' opinions, so the students felt that the teacher A good officer."

"Good official?" Du Ke laughed, "This old man has been an official for more than ten years, and this is the first time someone said that the old man is a good official. Do you know what everyone in the capital said about the old man?"

Qin Fang did not dare to say.

Du Ke didn't care either, he said to himself: "I say that the old man is an old fox, and he knows the wind best. Do you know why they say this to the old man?"

Qin Fang said, "Students don't know."

Du Ke talked about the Du family: "Actually, before this incident, the old man never thought about accepting apprentices. Not only the old man, but also my father did not accept apprentices. My Du family is a royalist, When it comes to the throne, I never thought about standing in line. However, the old man participated in the matter of winning the heir and joined the current emperor's camp. For this, my father was very angry.

Qin Fang, what this old man wants to say is that you should have a clear position on the surface, but behind the scenes, as long as you have the ability, you can do things that go against your position. "For example, in the matter of winning the heirloom, no one thought that Du Ke would stand in line. Everyone always thought that the Du family would not stand in line.

Qin Fang was a little confused.

Du Ke said: "You are new to officialdom, and you are far away from the capital. Some things can be taken slowly, it doesn't matter. Although, the old man does not know why the emperor made such arrangements, but no matter what the connection is, you have become the old man's disciple, some The matter, the old man should still tell you."

Qin Fang got up: "Please ask the teacher for guidance."

Du Ke: "First: the emperor likes courtiers who have the power of the dragon, but the prince may not like it, you must remember this. Second: the emperor likes the courtiers who have the power of the dragon, but his favorite is The royalists, also known as the neutral party. The old man joined the emperor to fight for the succession, but he also made it clear that he would not participate in the competition for the throne in the future. As for you, although the old man is your teacher, he will not interfere with your choice. But you have to understand , Everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices, and whether the future will be good or bad, they will all be borne by themselves."

Qin Fang said: "Yes, students will remember."

Du Ke shook his head again and said, "You're still young, and it's still too early to talk about participating in a party. It's okay to slowly understand these principles." At present, the princes haven't grown up yet, and it will take at least ten years. And what will Qin Fang do in the past ten years? According to his current luck, Duco is also looking forward to it. "By the way, you said before that your grandfather and grandmother are in the mansion. Although this old man is the minister of the Ministry of War, but since he came to the general's mansion, he is also a junior in front of your grandfather and grandmother, and should meet him." If they do not have a master-disciple relationship, they will No need to see you.

But the relationship between master and apprentice is like the relationship between father and son, and the relationship between relatives, and Grandma Qin also has an appointment, so you should meet.

Qin Fang said: "Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandma are already here, but all they have seen in their lives are people from the village. The biggest official they have seen was originally the village chief, and after they came here, it was the magistrate Yang and Mrs. Yang. I'm afraid I'm still worried about how to talk to you."

Du Ke smiled: "The old man is simple."

Then, Qin Fang took Du Ke to Liuxinyuan.

As Qin Fang said, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Father Qin and Mother Qin all sat together, and the four of them looked at each other. Originally, they were discussing what to say and what to say after meeting Mr. Du. But after discussing for a while, they didn't come up with a reason, so at this moment, they just looked at each other and stared blankly. At first, they wanted to discuss with Yang Haiyan, but they knew that Yang Haiyan was in the kitchen and was preparing to entertain Mr. Du, so they were too embarrassed to disturb him.

Suddenly, Qin Fang's voice sounded outside: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, the teacher is here to see you." His voice was not soft, just to let the family in the yard hear, so as not to suddenly see the teacher and scare them I don't know how to react.

Qin Fang is not aimless. Sure enough, after the Qin family inside heard this, there was a panic. Fortunately, after Qin Fang and Du Ke entered the yard, they have stabilized, at least on the surface, they have calmed down.

Seeing Qin Fang and a serious-looking middle-aged man walk in, although they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be frightened. Even if Mr. Du didn't show his official prestige, his face that didn't always smile was still a bit intimidating.

When the Qin family saw this, they immediately saluted, "Meet your lord." In the past, they would have knelt down on both feet like ordinary people kneeling down to the county magistrate. But they have been here for a while, and Nanny Lotus has taught them etiquette one by one. Besides, Qin Fang's voice just now gave them the time to prepare in their hearts, so they wouldn't be confused when they saw Du Ke.

Du Ke took a step forward, helped Grandma Qin up, and tried to soften his voice: "You don't need to be more polite, it's all from your own family." After speaking, he took a step back, "Du has seen the old lady and the old man." A senior gift.

How could Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin dare to accept his courtesy, they remembered what Grandma Lian had taught them, and hurriedly avoided it. Although it was nondescript because of panic, the simplicity of the old people and common people still made Du Ke a good impression. In fact, the Qin family who can teach Qin Fang's character will have a good impression before Du Ke sees it.

Qin Fang said: "Teacher, please come to the seat, grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, the teacher is your own family, you don't have to be polite."

This time, Du Ke did not refuse. He knew that if the elderly were to be seated, they might not be used to it.

After sitting down, Du Ke said: "I often hear Qin Fang mention the elders in the family. When I see you today, all of them are charitable people."

Qin's father is a boring gourd, smiling without saying a word. Qin's mother is very thoughtful on weekdays, but on big occasions, she is also timid. Grandma Qin also smiled and waited for Grandpa Qin to speak. On this occasion, the Qin family has the will to wait for Grandpa Qin to be the family member.

Grandpa Qin also smiled and said: "You have won the prize. A Fang can have today, thanks to your kindness. Without your promotion, he would not have today." Months of drafts. From the day I knew that Du Ke was coming, I was writing drafts every day, for fear that I would lose face to my grandson by not being able to speak.

Du Ke is an old fox. At first glance, he knows that the head of the Qin family is Grandpa Qin. Moreover, listening to the old man speak clearly and his thoughts are clear, he also knows that the old man is a sincere and sober person.

Du Ke smiled and shook his head: "I didn't promote him much, mainly because Qin Fang was willing to learn. As the saying goes, when you see an old man at the age of three, his current character is the one you cultivated when he was young. "Duke, if he is willing to say something nice, he can coax people and sell himself.

No, in three or two sentences, Grandpa Qin's eyes were full of smiles. Grandpa Qin and even the Qin family felt that this Master Du was really a good person, approachable and easy to get along with.

Grandpa Qin said: "Actually, Ah Fang was very skinny when he was a child. He ran up and down the mountain every day..." He began to talk about his grandson when he was young.

Du Ke, listen, he also has a son and a daughter, but...he was in the imperial court, and he had never been involved in the affairs of his son and daughter like this. When he heard about it from Grandpa Qin, he suddenly realized that when he was young He didn't even have the slightest impression. The only impression is to test my son's knowledge and urge him to study.
