Seeing Prince Zhu Biao coming out, Kong Xixue just wanted to say hello, but was blocked back without saying the word "Tai".

Zhu Biao said directly with a smile.

"It seems that you haven't forgotten my old friend Zhu Taiping, come and sit in the room."

At this time, Kong Xixue realized that His Majesty ordered that the real identity must not be revealed here.

"Master Taiping, why are you here? It's really rare."

Zhu Biao smiled and said very calmly.

"This is normal. My third brother is setting up a workshop in the backyard to forge iron. Xu Da's son, Xu Zengshou, used to feed pigs here."

As soon as these words were uttered, the eyes of Kong Xixue and his son almost fell out of shock.

what is happening?The crown prince is here to hoe the ground and pick up manure, the king of Jin, Zhu Min, is here to forge iron, even Xu Zengshou, the son of the first duke of the dynasty, is here to feed the pigs, and more importantly, he just met Xu Da, who claimed to be Zhu Tao's. bodyguard.

This small courtyard, it seems, is far from being as simple as I thought, it is absolutely hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

"Master Taiping, then the teacher I met in the private school just now is probably of high status, I think he is quite knowledgeable."

Zhu Biao looked around and said in a low voice.

"This is not a big man, but a student of Song Lian, Fang Xiaoru, a Hanlin scholar, and the son of Fang Keqin, the prefect of Jining."

As soon as this sentence came out, Kong Xixue breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself.

"Well, fortunately, he's just a son of the magistrate, not a big shot."

But just after he said this, he immediately realized that the magistrate is not a small person, he is a person with real power above the locality.

The so-called magistrate of breaking the family, the magistrate of killing the family, the power of the magistrate is extremely high, and Fang Keqin is the magistrate of Jining, who is in Shandong.It is just a wall away from the prefect of Jinan.

Kong Xixue is a person who is particularly good at dealing with affairs, and he usually only talks about friendship with the prefect of Jinan. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous teacher turned out to be the son of the prefect of Jining, so he dared not offend him.

And this Fang Xiaoru turned out to be Song Lian's disciple, that's not bad!Who is Song Lian?One of the so-called four masters in eastern Zhejiang, whether it is articles or fame in the literary world, they are all people who are unique in the world.

Moreover, as the chief master of the upper study, he is the teacher of the prince and the princes, and he always gives lectures to the emperor. If Fang Xiaoru is Song Lian's favorite student, then he can accept losing to him.

After thinking about it, it seems that I really underestimated Zhu Tao's energy before. After meeting, I should just be cautious.

But he really couldn't figure out how Zhu Tao got to this point. After all, His Majesty had dozens of adoptive sons, but Zhu Tao's favor was no less than that of any prince in the current dynasty.

At this moment, Old Tang suddenly came out and said to Kong Xixue.

"I have already told the Young Master's family just now, since the master is here, let's go in."

Kong Xixue wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and quickly thanked Old Tang, now he no longer dared to make too much of himself.

After entering the room, Zhu Tao was immersed in drawing drawings, and he didn't seem to want to look up at him.

Kong Xixue knew that this was an absolute indifference to him, but there was nothing he could do about it. He picked out a random worker here, not the prince or vassal king, or the first duke of the dynasty.

To say that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here is too polite a description, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair.

"Young master, I am here under the order of my old master to discuss knowledge. Where shall we start? I also ask the young master to give me a topic."

In fact, Zhu Tao himself was very hospitable, but he was a little depressed.

How could he have so much time to explore what knowledge, the matter of Fang's fortune last time had already made him a little emotional.

A person who doesn't want to get up before noon, how can he go to discuss learning with these rotten scholars.

Besides, they don't have any knowledge, they just know how to count black and white, pick out a few useless sentences from the books of Confucius and Mencius, and then talk nonsense like a cart wheel.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tao shook his head, and then told Old Tang to say.

"There's no need to talk about learning. Since this gentleman is here, we can't just let him come to our Zhujiazhuang for nothing. We pay the travel expenses and give him two taels of silver."

At this time, Kong Xixue was completely stunned. He came here to discuss learning under the order of Zhu Yuanzhang, not to beg for food.

He had to reiterate his intention to come, so he said timidly.

"Young master, I was called by my old master to discuss knowledge with you, not here to make money. I really can't take these two taels of silver."

Zhu Tao nodded his head. He had a judgment in his mind that he couldn't ask for two taels of silver.

Old Tang was a little embarrassed, he looked at Zhu Tao and said.

"Young master, it is the master's intention to let this gentleman come to discuss studies with you. Is it not good for you to send him away like this?"

Zhu Tao looked impatient and said to Old Tang.

"Old Tang, what I said, you have always been unambiguous in your execution. Why do you have to do so many things today? You can get him away first, and I can talk to Dad when I go back. If he wants to blame Me, kicking me twice at most is much better than talking nonsense with Furu, if you have that spare time, wouldn't it be nice to drink some draft beer and sleep for a while?"

Seeing that Zhu Tao obviously felt a little guilty, it was inconvenient for Old Tang to say anything more, so he explained to Kong Xi.

"Sir, you'd better go back quickly, our young master seems a little unhappy."

Kong Xixue immediately realized that he didn't even have the qualifications to speak here, but if he was sent away like this, how could he go back and deal with His Majesty.

"But I haven't finished yet, let me say a few words..."

But before he finished speaking, he was directly dragged out by Old Tang. If he didn't leave, Zhu Tao would get mad.

In the yard outside, I saw Xu Da who had just come back from work.

Xu Da dismissed Old Tang, and then whispered to Kong Xixue.

"You can go if you are told to go. If you really angered Zhu Tao, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. As for the superior, the young master will explain it himself, so you don't need to worry about it."

Now that this is the case, Kong Xixue naturally has nothing to say, and he doesn't want to stay here any longer.

After leaving Zhu Tao's yard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Jian came up to him and asked, "Father, who is this Zhu Tao? Why are there so many nobles, even the prince, around him?"
