The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 519

Li Er was deeply moved when he heard Xu Tian readily agree.

After learning about the children at Taifu's manor from Li Er, Xu Tian finished his work and went to Taifu's house.

Upon seeing Xu Tian arrive at his home, the Grand Tutor warmly welcomed him.

"Lord Xu, please come in, please come in."

He never expected Xu Tian to suddenly appear.

They had been subtly encouraging Li Er, but they never expected that Xu Tian would actually come to their home.

The Grand Tutor was truly at his wit's end with this son.

He asked his servants to make tea.

Moreover, it was brewed with tribute ingredients.

Xu Tian was flattered and then mentioned the Grand Tutor's son.

"I was 50 years old when I had this son, and I spoiled him too much."

The Grand Tutor appeared quite helpless.

"Although he understands everything very quickly, he just doesn't want to do anything. He can't even concentrate on reading a book."

"We had invited nearly a dozen masters before, but none of them could subdue him. They were all driven away after a few days."

The Grand Tutor seemed to age ten years when he mentioned this son.

Xu Tian directly asked the Grand Tutor to take him to see that young master.

The Grand Tutor shook his head helplessly, then got up and led Xu Tian toward the South Garden.

“When he’s not busy, he always locks himself in his room. He only has two servants to serve him; he doesn’t allow anyone else into his courtyard.”

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the door to Yu Shu's room slammed shut with a loud "bang".

The Grand Tutor cursed loudly.

"That good-for-nothing bastard!"

After saying that, he made a move to kick the door.

Then, perhaps feeling it was inappropriate, he sent his servant to knock on the door.

"You unfilial son, get out here right now!"

The Grand Tutor was absolutely furious.

Xu Tian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch his breath and would be in an awkward situation.

Finally, after the servants kept knocking, the door opened from the inside.

Standing at the door, Du Yushu looked displeased.

"Are you looking for death?"

He looked at his servants and began to curse them.

The servants were trembling with fear.

The Grand Tutor gave the order directly.

"All of you, get out of here."

"I think you're going to defy the heavens today."

As he spoke, he prepared to go up and hit his son.

But Xu Tian stopped him.

"Grand Tutor, this is unacceptable."

It wasn't because he was a scholar; he simply felt that children's education couldn't be solved by beatings and scoldings alone.

Just after Xu Tian stopped her, Yu Shu ran straight to her study.

Bang!

The Grand Tutor was just about to invite Xu Tian to his study when his son simply closed the door to his own study.

No one was allowed to enter, the Grand Tutor rebuked his own son.

"Lord Xu came here today specifically to see you, you ungrateful wretch. I had previously considered your unruly nature and thought I could reason with you. I never expected your ideas to become so outrageous."

As he spoke, the Grand Tutor went straight up and kicked the door.

Xu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When scholars lose their temper, they can be quite terrifying.
