Chapter 184 The Young Master
When Li Tai walked into the school, he saw the lecturer and the students standing in the courtyard, and several slaves holding weapons and staffs stood in front of the school door.
"Move all these seats out and no one else is allowed to come in. This is the most sunny place. Open a window on the east side, put up two screens, and put the incense burner behind the desk..."
A child who looked to be about the same age as Shufeng walked out of the school. He was wearing a brocade robe and a mink robe on the outside. As he walked, he said to the entourage behind him.
From his clothes, it can be seen that this child comes from a well-off family, and his words and deeds are somewhat arrogant. He glanced at the lecturers and students in the courtyard and waved their hands: "You should disperse, don't gather here. I am here to serve you." My father ordered me to study here, and I am just an ordinary guest. I don’t want to disturb you, and I won’t bully others.”
At this point, he frowned again and said, "Isn't the master here finished? Leaving the guest aside for so long without asking questions is not the way to treat guests!"
Li Tai, who was standing in the crowd, was even more speechless when he heard this. He originally thought that he was usually very brave, but this kid in front of him was much stronger than him.
Fortunately, there was a visitor among his entourage who had followed the master, and he knew Li Tai. He hurriedly came forward to report to the young master. Only then did the young man, who was not watching anyone else, finally looked at Li Tai.
"Just now I felt that my husband was well behaved, and he turned out to be the owner of the village. The younger generation, Mingya, was ordered by my father, Duke Wu An, to bring two hundred servants to listen to the orders of the master of the village. My father also said that he is the direct descendant of the famous family of the master of Li. , He is a man of considerable academic attainment and is one of the most talented people in the world. He came to be taught by me."
After learning Li Tai's identity, the boy calmed down a little bit of his madness, walked up to Li Tai, hugged his fist and said.
Li Tai finally understood why Shuofeng was so sensitive, and actually felt a sense of crisis because of the arrival of a boy from another family. Even he couldn't help but doubt whether he belonged to Shang Yuan Village after seeing this boy's behavior. Owner?
A few days ago, Li Mu visited Shang Yuan to express his gratitude to Li Tai, but there was no other news after that. Li Tai thought that this was the end of the story. He was lamenting that this family was too stingy, but he didn't expect that the story was here.
It seems that Li Mu was also touched by Dugu Xinhao's generous act, and he was not stingy in his actions. He directly sent two hundred troops to follow his orders, and even his son was sent directly. Perhaps in his opinion, this should be enough to express his sincerity and gratitude.
But regardless of the status of the two hundred tribesmen and whether they were elite or not, the guy in front of him already made Li Tai feel a little uncomfortable.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand to signal the schoolchildren in the yard to disperse and go back to their homes. He did not respond to the boy immediately, but looked at a familiar attendant at his house and asked: "Mr. Wu An is still in Huazhou?"
"After my lord went east to visit Daxingtai a few days ago, he has already gone north to the town. Before leaving, he gave instructions to explain the matter. Today, the personnel from Yuanzhou Township arrived in Huazhou. They immediately ushered the people into the village to listen to the order. Two hundred soldiers bowed. The horses are prepared and lined up on the plain to be inspected by the generals. They can be assigned to work at any time. Since there are many people in the village, I accompany the young master to the village to see him. "
The attendant hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Tai in a respectful manner. He turned his eyes to look at the young master Li Ya, and then smiled apologetically at Li Tai and said: "Jiulang is having sex in the master's house, and he is already in the clan. After a brief education, my lord felt envious when he saw that the Governor was academically serious, so he asked the Governor to take him under his sect..."
Young Li Ya felt a little unhappy when she saw that Li Tai only talked to the attendant but ignored him. She rolled her eyes and glared at the attendant and snorted: "Would you like to clean up the table for you and talk to the master? I'm still here. Standing in the court!"
When the attendant heard this, he hurriedly bowed and apologized to the young master, and then stepped back, not daring to talk to Li Tai again.
When Li Tai saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that this tutor Li Mu was really bad.
In fact, many generals' children have some problems with their upbringing. It's not that they are all arrogant and rude, but they don't seem to understand the concept of politeness.
After all, my family's fortune has risen too fast, and my literacy cannot keep up. In addition, my father has been absent from family education for a long time. Without a dignified and sensible mother to educate me, it is inevitable that I will grow up willfully and become a little unscrupulous.
From this point of view, a boy like Shuofeng, who has known etiquette and good things since childhood, can really be called an anomaly among the generals' disciples. No wonder his father Shuohui can't help but show off to others from time to time.
Thinking about it this way, Li Tai couldn't help but feel that he was indeed a bit harsh on Shuofeng before, especially compared with the boy in front of him, Shuofeng seemed to be well-educated.
Li Tai stepped forward and looked at the boy condescendingly for a moment. Li Ya felt a little uncomfortable when he was looked at. She raised her eyebrows with a hint of embarrassment, but she probably still remembered her father's instructions and didn't dare to get angry directly. He just said: "What kind of training does the village owner want to do? I am listening attentively, and I also want to see what special qualities the village owner has that my father can highly recommend."
"I didn't say I wanted to accept you, and my father didn't tell me about this before, but I don't have any qualities for you to appreciate."
After hearing this, Li Tai snorted coldly and looked away from this boy.
When Li Ya heard this, her expression suddenly changed: "How dare you, a poor peasant? If only I could give you so many servants..."
"Kuroro, please shut up!"
The attendant of the Li Mu family next to him suddenly changed his face when he heard this. He didn't care about his safety. He quickly stepped forward and covered Li Ya's mouth. Then he bowed to Li Tai and apologized: "Young man, young man." I must be strong and not used to being controlled by strangers. I sincerely ask the governor to forgive me... The assignment of soldiers to the family is a matter decided by the master and has nothing to do with the presumptuousness of the young man. If there is any inconvenience, the servants will lead the young man themselves. Return to the city and explain to the lord..."
Li Tai lowered his head again and looked at Li Ya who was still glaring at him with his mouth covered. After a moment of pondering, he smiled and said: "I will accept this kid. Since it is convenient for Mr. Wu An to give me a character, of course I want it too." You will have no worries when you return. It’s just that the family has its own way of raising children, and you must follow them when you enter my household. Although you and other slaves love your master, you are not allowed to show off in my house!"
When the followers of the Li Mu family heard this, many of them looked unnatural, but handing Xiao Lang over to Li Tai's discipline was the master's order before leaving, and they did not dare to speak out against it for a while.
Although Li Ya was arrogant, she was not stupid. After hearing what Li Tai said and looking at his expression, she already felt something bad in her heart. She struggled to remove the attendant's hand covering her mouth, stepped back a few steps, and then shouted loudly. : "I won't stay, I won't... I want to go home! Thief Zhenbing, how dare you be rude to me?"
When Li Tai saw this boy panicking, he immediately became happy. He didn't bother to explain that he was not a soldier, but your family. He raised his finger and pointed at the followers of Li Mu's family and said: "Remember the preface, today I will discipline the naughty boy and correct the teacher's ways. If you dare to interfere and allow Mr. Wu An to come in person, you can’t even think of sending your son into my house!”
When those few people heard this, their expressions became solemn. They knew how much their lord wanted to befriend Li Tai. If all their previous efforts were wasted by shielding their naughty young master, then they would be guilty of a great crime.
So several people hurriedly dispersed, not daring to stand in front of the young master to block him. Some even pushed Li Ya away who was approaching.
Without the support of a strong family soldier, this boy became even more panicked. He looked at Li Tai walking towards him step by step, rolled his eyes, raised his fists and said: "Ah, he admires the academic virtues of the village master. If The owner of the village just bullies the small, intimidates with the stick, cannot persuade with words, and is just a mediocre teacher! I am here to listen to others, but not to be intimidated..."
But no matter how much he tried to make up for it, Li Tai had no intention of trying to reason with him anymore. But seeing that he had short arms and legs, he felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he turned around and waved to the people who were watching the fun: "Dharma, come here and teach him the rules of the school."
"Brother, which rule is this?"
After hearing this, several phoenixes trotted forward and asked excitedly and curiously.
"Let's start with the basics first. If you are disrespectful, you will be punished!"
Li Tai said casually, walked into the school building, picked up a ruler and threw it to Shufeng.
Shuofeng copied the ruler with one hand, and the excitement on his little face became even stronger. He had already felt a sense of crisis due to the arrival of this boy, and now that he had the opportunity to use chicken feathers as an arrow, he naturally would not miss it and swung it. The ruler rushed towards Li Ya.
"Counterfeit slave, don't come here! I am Duke Wu An. If you hurt me, I will kill your whole family!"
When the boy saw this, he raised his arms and bowed his waist, making a defensive posture of fighting with his horns, and stared at Shu Feng and said fiercely.
Shuofeng was furious when he heard this, and his momentum became even more fierce. He jumped several feet high, slapped him with the ruler in his hand, and kicked him in mid-air. He crossed his legs and pinned him down, and the ruler slapped down his head and face: "Zhennu, I am Duke Changle, whose whole family do you want to kill? Look at the ruler!"
The kid was quite strong, even though his upper body was suppressed and he raised his arms to cover his head and face, his lower body was still bending his knees to push against Shuofeng's lower back.
"Punishment is fine, but it can't hurt someone's appearance!"
Li Tai saw that Shuofeng's attack was a little light, so he stepped forward and pulled away the two boys who were struggling with each other. With a swing of his arm, he pushed Li Ya face down to the ground, and gestured with his mouth: "Hit there! "
Shuofeng raised his sleeves and wiped the spit on half of his face. Under Li Taila's side, he swung the ruler and slapped the buttocks. The sound of the ruler hitting the buttocks was clear and loud, and he was slapped one after another. After waiting for more than ten times, he raised his head and asked: "Brother, how many penalties are there?"
The boy who was pinned down by Li Tai was still roaring and struggling at first. After hearing these words, he was so frightened that his body trembled, and then he relented: "I admit defeat, I was wrong..."
"Of course you are wrong, and you still want to admit it? In this school, you must obey whatever my brother says! The advanced scholar is the leader. When you see me in the future, you must bow first before speaking!"
Shuofeng slapped him twice more, raised his head and looked at Li Tai flatteringly: "Brother, is this the rule?"
