Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Xie Jin and his son were waiting, and while they were anxious, Old Tang came out and said to them with a smile.

"The young master told you to go in and meet each other, please come with me."

Hearing this, the father and son were overjoyed and directly bowed to Old Tang.

Entering the house, Zhu Tao was reading a book, and Xie Jin bowed his head directly.

"Disciple Xie Jin, a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, came from a long distance, and intends to pay homage to Mr. Zhu. If Mr. can meet him, it will be a comfort for his life."

After hearing this, Zhu Tao felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized, it didn't mean that you came here just because of the name, and you left as soon as you saw him, so why did you have to ask again?
Thinking of this, Zhu Tao felt a little depressed. What kind of teacher should he be a good-for-nothing dude?

"I'm really sorry. I'm not interested in being a teacher. If you want to chat with me, I welcome and entertain you. If you have other ideas, please find another place."

Xie Jin still refused to get up, he finally met the great sage in his mind, how could he give up like this?

"If the master refuses to accept me, I will kneel here forever and never get up!"

Xie Fang on the side saw his son behave like this, so he naturally wanted to send a wave of assists, and quickly took out a 2 taels of silver note and put it on the desk next to Zhu Tao.

"To tell the truth, sir, our father and son sold all of Ji'an's family property and came to the capital because we admired your name. I just ask you to give me some advice. I will explain the recipe below. I am also a student who has studied. I know that although Mr. You are young, but you are already a great Confucianist in the present age, how can you let him pass by, this small gift is not a respect, it is my tuition fee for Mr.

Zhu Tao was stunned for a moment, that someone was willing to pay such a high tuition fee, 2 taels of silver, which was already considered an absolutely wealthy family at that time.

Even if it is the current Duke's House, if all the family property is swept out, I am afraid there will only be about 10 taels, so it is still good at managing money.

With such a family background, it should be regarded as one of the best families in Ji'an, but they are willing to spend all their wealth to study for their children. Just because of this, Zhu Tao is quite moved.

"Get up, but I don't want this money. My Zhujiazhuang has always had enough food and clothing. It's useless for me to ask for so much money. Besides, it's not worthwhile to let you use up your family property just to learn something. I'm not a pickpocket."

After hearing this, Xie Jin seemed to understand something, so he immediately kowtowed to Zhu Tao solemnly, and then stood up and said.

"Sir, do you mean to accept me? I kowtow to you! I must study hard under your school, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao waved his hand and said to him.

"My knowledge is different from other people's. It is self-contained, so you must let go of what you have learned before. If you want to learn from me, you must first go to my Enlightenment School here."

After hearing Zhu Tao's words, Xie Jin and his son were completely stunned on the spot. You must know that Xie Jin is a well-known prodigy in Ji'an Mansion, and was even praised by the prefect. Isn't it strange to let him go to Kaimeng's school now? .

Xie Jin knew that students from all over the world who wanted to study here with Zhu Tao were almost like crucian carp crossing the river, but they were all blocked.

Now that Mr. Zhu Tao can accept him, it is considered a blessing, so he must obey the arrangement, otherwise he may not even have such a chance.

So, Xie Jin quickly agreed.

"Since this is the case, thank you sir for the arrangement. You must study hard."

Zhu Tao nodded. In fact, he is still willing to cultivate Xie Jin, a great talent in the future, but he doesn't want him to become a person who can only read four books and five classics.

Now that Fang Zhaocai has taught according to his own textbook ideas, it is also good for Xie Jin to go there to do some enlightenment for me to learn.

After Lao Tang came out with his father and son, he pointed out the direction of the school for them and went back.

As he walked towards the school, Xie Fang was a little depressed. Anyway, he was also a student of the Imperial Academy, and his son Xie Jin was the number one child prodigy in Ji’an Mansion. His current knowledge was not inferior to Juren, and he was actually arranged to go to Kaimeng’s school. .

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he said directly.

"Jin'er, this Mr. Zhu Tao doesn't take us too seriously. He just perfunctory us and asked you to go to the Kaimeng School in this small village. Fortunately, the money hasn't been given to him yet. I think we'll go back to Ji'an Mansion overnight. Bar."

In fact, Xie Jin also felt a little uncomfortable. He has always been a very proud person. Among the people in the world, except Song Lian, a great Confucian, no one can catch his eyes.

Now that I saw Fang Xiaoru writing this article by Zhu Tao, I was even more amazed by Zhu Tao, so I came all the way to learn from him.

But this Mr. Zhu Tao seems to be only a teenage boy, not to mention, let himself go to Kaimeng to study, he is naturally depressed.

However, he was still unwilling to give up this opportunity just like that, so he forced a smile and said to Xie Fang.

"Father, I don't think it's better than this. We've already come anyway. Why don't we see how this Mr. Kaimeng's knowledge is. If the knowledge is good, we'll stay for a while. If it's not good, then it's not too late to return to Ji'an."

Jie Fang nodded, it seemed that was the only way to go, they walked all the way outside the bamboo house of the school, and heard the sound of Lang Lang reading inside.

At this time, hearing footsteps outside, a man dressed as a private school teacher came out with a little impatience on his face, he didn't want to be disturbed all the time.

After coming out, he was about to ask where these two people came from, but he didn't expect to have a face-to-face meeting, and Xie Fang was stunned.

"Brother Fang, why are you here?"

Jie Fang is completely stupid, what kind of private school gentleman is this, this is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Donggong official filial child, this is a leader in Qingliu.

Hearing Fang's exclamation, Xie Jin was also stunned. Could it be that the private school gentleman in front of him is Fang Xiaoru, whom he has always been famous for and has never met?

A generation of elites, the successor of the great Confucian Song Lian, is willing to be a private school teacher in Zhujiazhuang, responsible for the enlightenment of children?This made him feel that Zhu Tao was unfathomable.

However, Fang Xiaoru was even more confused than them, because in his capacity, for a person like Xie Fang, he could only remember his name and hometown, and his appearance was very vague.

After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that this was the prescription that I had studied in the Imperial College. The teacher Song Lian also served as the Imperial College Jijiu, and these people were all his students in name.

At that time, I replaced my teacher Song Lian and taught "Zhu Zi" to the Imperial College, and I knew them well. These people, regardless of their age, were all my juniors.

Xie Jin heard his father's words, and hurried up to greet Fang Xiaoru.

In fact, in front of Zhu Tao, Fang Xiaoru knew that his knowledge was inferior, so he behaved relatively modestly, but facing the father and son, he had a strong sense of superiority.

"Shaodong's family's knowledge is more important than a moment, even if it is a matter of course to establish a sect, what qualifications do you have if you want to come to apprentice?"
