Chapter 4 Chapter Two

The hope of learning martial arts was shattered, and the earl was very disappointed for a few days.But he finally recovered under the comfort of the beautiful countess, after all, this is his only son. Although the Luo Lin family is based on the empire based on martial arts, but in history, the family has also produced one or two outstanding figures of the wise general type who are famous for their resourcefulness.These ancestors are also not good at martial arts, but they can coordinate the overall situation in the rear, dispatch troops and horses, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

An outstanding general does not necessarily have to possess superb martial arts skills to take the lead on the battlefield. If he can become an outstanding overall commander, he can also add brilliance to the glory of the family. Since you can't learn martial arts, then learn literature! Just a child who can't even speak, how can he learn literature?Even if you want to invite a learned scholar to teach him knowledge, you should at least let the child speak. It is different from the Countess's kind and pure motherly heart.Earl Raymond felt a strange feeling in his heart: he always felt that his son was not unable to speak, but refused to speak!

Because, the more Count Raymond visited his son, the more he felt that his son was not an idiot who didn't understand anything, but a child who rejected the world around him.Just based on the way he looked at himself, it was clearly unfamiliar and resistant, clearly showing emotion, not an ignorant idiot. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The Earl immediately offered a huge reward in the entire imperial capital, regardless of his status, whether he was a learned scholar or a lowly farmer, as long as anyone could make his son speak, he would immediately get a reward of 1,000 gold coins!

Such a new thing immediately spread throughout the entire imperial capital, and all kinds of people came to sign up, even a few bards from far away came to sign up.These people's tricks are even more tricky. Some took a flute and played it in front of Du Wei all afternoon, some played a gong in Du Wei's ear, and some deliberately took advantage of Du Wei's unpreparedness to beat him. Shouting behind him... As for someone who was so bold as to propose throwing the Earl's son into the river, he would probably ask for help... But the person who made such a note was immediately broken by the Earl's guards and thrown out. Earl's Court.

What a joke!Even if my son is an idiot, he is still my son!Throw it into the river?I'll throw you into the river first! Just when the entire imperial capital was spreading the news about this matter, this biggest problem was inadvertently solved by a servant in the Earl's Mansion! And the one who solved this problem was Made, the servant "handpicked" in Du Wei's sleep talk when he was in a coma. This servant who used to be a groom was a kind-hearted and honest man. He came up with a way to take Du Wei to see the stables in the Earl's Mansion.According to the usual situation, children of this age are always curious and happy to see animals.Although this method is a little crude, but with the mentality of giving it a try, the Earl agreed.

As a result, Made carried her little master into the stable... Coincidentally, the servant who replaced Made as the groom was lazy and didn't clean up the horse manure that day. As a result, when he walked into the stable, he was immediately greeted by a stench of horse manure.The smell was so strong that when Ma De pushed the door open with his little master in his arms, he almost made a somersault without the smell. And at this moment, the little Du Wei in his arms blurted out a word in a low voice almost like a conditioned reflex. "It stinks to death!" As a result of this incident, Made immediately received a bounty of one thousand gold coins, and even the groom who was lazy and didn't clean up the horse manure was not punished, but instead got twenty gold coins.

Just looking at his son who looked defeated, Earl Raymond was a little more certain: This kid didn't speak on purpose! ... "From today onwards, he is your teacher." Pointing to an old man in a white robe next to him, the count looked at his son: "This is Mr. Rossiat, he has the title of Imperial Astrologer, At the same time, he is also a scholar who is proficient in history. He will be your first teacher in the future." At the beginning, this learned and talented Rossiyat scholar did a good job. After one year of enlightenment, the young master Du Wei, who is only four years old, can already write imperial characters!Being able to write at the age of four, although it is not too remarkable for a normal child, it is still relatively rare.

Even the Earl, who has always disliked his son, couldn't help being tempted: Is my son really a genius? However, when Master Du Wei entered the age of five, even the outstanding Mr. Rossiat encountered difficulties. When Master Du Wei was five and a half years old, in the evening, the Earl had a long talk with Mr. Rossiat in the study... "My lord, please hire someone else." The old astrologer said with a slumped expression, "Your son is talented and intelligent, but an old man like me really doesn't have the energy to train such a disciple..." Seeing the old scholar's expression, the earl's heart immediately turned cold.An idiot can see that the old scholar's "talented and smart" is a perfunctory nonsense... Could it be that my son is really an idiot?Even Mr. Rossiat, who is so smart and knowledgeable, can't educate him well?

"But, Mr. Rossiat..." the earl said with a sullen face. "No, no, respected Lord Earl." The old scholar said with a worried face, "I beg you, please don't keep me anymore. I really can't do such a difficult job!" The old scholar's words were so firm that the Earl couldn't help but smile bitterly: Is educating my son really a "difficult" task?Even the earl's talented old astrologer couldn't complete it, so I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to rely on other people. Looking at the count's gloomy face, in fact, the old scholar Rossiat is also very frightened at this moment...

Alas, if it's just weird words like "the sun and the moon are two big balls", it can still be regarded as the childish statement of Master Du Wei.Well, when a five-year-old child said something like "the over-concentration of imperial power is the root cause of corruption", it almost scared the heart of the old scholar to stop beating! In fact, the old scholar who has taught Master Du Wei for a whole year has already understood that his student is not an "idiot" as the rumors say, on the contrary, this child is very smart, even a little smarter than children of the same age.But no matter how smart a child is, he would never talk about such esoteric topics as commenting on "imperial power"!

Therefore, the old scholars naturally believed that most of these astonishing views were undoubtedly expressed by the Earl at home, and were accidentally expressed by ignorant children!Earl Raymond holds a lot of power, is the number two figure in the military command, and has a wide network of contacts in the imperial navy... Such a big man, secretly slandering the imperial power at home, is obviously dissatisfied with the royal family!If you think about it one more layer... I am just an old scholar, I don't want to be involved in any political struggle!It's better to get out as soon as possible! The old scholar's resolute farewell was agreed by the earl, and he packed up his things and left the earl's mansion immediately as if he was running away.Such a performance caught the earl's eyes, but he could only smile wryly. Could it be that his son is really hopeless? Du Wei quietly watched the teacher who had been with him for more than a year leave. He stood in front of the attic window and watched the old scholar pack his luggage, get into the carriage and drive away. "Master." Probably seeing that the young master's complexion was a bit ugly, Made couldn't help shouting cautiously.After successfully making the young master speak, he has been playing the role of young master Du Wei's personal servant. "Made." Du Wei didn't look back, but he could hear that he was not in a high mood: "Do you think ignorance is a happy thing?" "Huh?" Made didn't know how to speak.In fact, the former groom didn't have much ink in his mind, and it was obvious that he didn't know how to answer when the little master asked such a question.ignorance?Could it be that the little master is worrying about himself?But such a topic, but Ma De dared not talk about it. "Forget it." Du Wei turned around, and he seemed to be smiling, but there seemed to be a trace of tiredness on his small, immature face. Compared to people in this world, I know too much. I know why there are sun and moon in the sky, I know why there is a cycle of day and night every day, I know why there are four seasons in a year, I know why there is spring and autumn... But it is precisely because I know this that I am troubled.Perhaps, living in this world, ignorance is a kind of happiness!
