Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Fang Xiaoru was immediately depressed. His depression was because the two people in front of him didn't understand anything, yet they dared to come to Zhujiazhuang to provoke them.

If you are an ordinary scholar and don't know the development of Confucianism at all, it's fine, but the two of you came to talk to Zhu Tao about learning, if you don't even understand this, isn't it just out of fun.

Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but want to swear, so he said it directly to the two of them.

"You two hurry up, this Zhujiazhuang is not just a cat or a dog who comes here to touch porcelain, do you want to use our young master's reputation to make you famous, it will be embarrassing if you don't think about it like this."

All of a sudden, this Duke Yansheng was so stunned that he was upgraded. It was obvious that His Majesty wanted to give his adopted son some fame so he used his own name.

However, Fang Xiaoru really didn't understand the development of Confucianism that Fang Xiaoru mentioned.

So he opened his mouth for a long time, and couldn't speak at all. He was so anxious that there was nothing he could do.

Kong Jian at the side also felt that his father was a bit ashamed, but he didn't understand anything and couldn't help if he wanted to, so he had to lower his head.

The children in the school, when they saw the two people who had just arrived, they said they wanted to discuss knowledge with the young master, but they didn't even understand the basics of the development of Confucianism, so they couldn't help laughing at each other.

"I don't even understand this, and I still have to argue with my young boss. It's really unprofessional to touch porcelain. I'd better go back quickly."

"With this little knowledge, I haven't reached the level of enlightenment. I really don't know how to write the word shame if I dare to come to Zhujiazhuang to find trouble."

This time, Kong Xixue blushed directly from his face to the base of his neck, not because of any other reason, but because he felt that, as Duke Yansheng, he was despised by a group of rural children.

In fact, this cannot be too blamed on Kong Xixue, but is determined by the specific circumstances at the time.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Confucianism was hit, and it was a bit devastated.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was more emphasis on stereotyped articles, that is, the extension of the Four Books and Five Classics. Scholars studied the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly in order to take the imperial examination to become officials, but they basically knew nothing about the context of Confucianism.

Only those who are truly knowledgeable, after thoroughly reading the Four Books and Five Classics, go to study other ways of governing the world.

In this regard, although he has done well, Kong Xixue's knowledge is really lackluster, and there is nothing he can show.

But Song Lian is a great contemporary Confucian. As Song Lian's closed disciple and successor, Fang Xiaoru's attainments are of course no problem.

In any case, Zhu Tao's school can really be called the best school in the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how you look at it, it is unique.

Kong Xixue never thought that he could be defeated by a small private school teacher, so he still planned to save face.

All he came into contact with were well-known scholars, or civil servants above the third rank of the imperial court. In terms of learning, how could he lose to a Mr. Murano teacher.

Fang Xiaoru didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, so he waved his hand bluntly and said.

"Okay, sir, if you're here to touch porcelain, you probably won't have that chance. If you're here to have fun, there's not much fun to have here, so go back early."

After finishing speaking, he said to the children: "Go back and study hard, so as not to become like this in the future. A bottle is not full and half of the bottle is dangling, and you still feel good about yourself. You must take a warning."

After listening to Fang Xiaoru's words, the children gave Kong Xixue a contemptuous look, and then went away to study.

Kong Xixue and Kong Jian looked at Fang Xiaoru very depressed, not to mention the depression in their hearts.

Not only was Fang Xiaoru ridiculed here, but he was also unanimously despised by rural children, like a lost dog who has lost a fight, and really didn't know what to say.

The father and son made eye contact, thinking about what to do, but they were really ashamed.

There was really no other way, Kong Jian asked in a low voice.

"Father, what should we do now? After all, we can't just go back like this. Don't talk about losing face, even if we avoid it for a while, I'm afraid there is no way to explain it."

Kong Xixue thought the same way, face is a trivial matter, and if he can't explain it to the emperor when he goes back, a severe reprimand is the lightest thing, and there may be other measures.

But if he rushed up again now, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing, he couldn't even deal with a teacher, and he still wanted to see his young master.

But now Kong Xixue has no way out, he gritted his teeth and said to Kong Jian.

"Okay, don't say anything else, today is the end of the day, we have to see Zhu Tao before talking, there is no other choice."

In fact, Kong Jian also knew very well that if he really wanted to go to Zhu Tao at this time, he would most likely just seek to humiliate himself, but when it came to this point, he couldn't lose his momentum even if he lost.

He thought to himself, even if the teachers here are good, Zhu Tao himself may not be so good, so after meeting Zhu Tao, he might be able to win back.

However, you can't go back to that teacher and let him lead the way, it's not shameful enough.

The father and son ran amok in Zhujiazhuang for a long time before they found Zhu Tao's small courtyard and knocked on the door.

Old Tang came out to open the door and asked with a smile when he saw the two dusty people at the door.

"The two are...?"

Kong Xixue naturally couldn't reveal his true identity, so he said.

"We are study tours. We heard about Zhu Tao's young master's name, so we specially came here to ask for a cup of tea and ask for advice in person."

In fact, even if he didn't wear Yan Shenggong's robes, Kong Xi could still be regarded as dignified and majestic by imitating his own appearance.

Therefore, he was also proud of this, and felt that after seeing him, the old housekeeper should be able to invite him in and treat him with tea.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, Old Tang pouted back immediately.

"Since you want to ask for a cup of tea, of course there is no problem. The two of you wait here for a while. I will go in and bring you some water."

It's not that Old Tang is rude, but Zhu Tao has been harassing people who come to ask for advice since this period of time.

He just wanted to be a playboy and had no intention of making friends, so he had no interest in these people, so he told Old Tang to block anyone he could.

Old Tang was also a little annoyed, although he treated these people with courtesy, but he wanted to enter, but there were no windows!
