Two days have passed since the complaint.

Under the instruction of a certain "caring person" in the palace, the fact that Guishan Academy wanted to forcibly buy a chalk formula completely spread in the capital.

The sensation caused by this is not to say that it resounded in the capital, but it is also a household name.

Business in stationery stores is also booming.

At the beginning of the period, most people bought quill pens and other things, but since Mr. Song gave a wave of advertisements for "free", everyone has paid attention to chalk and realized its benefits.

Whether it is a brush or a quill pen, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are inseparable from ink.

Whenever you write a good line, you will have the embarrassing situation of not having enough ink and needing to dip in ink.

This is not the case with chalk.

It doesn't need ink, and you can write it all the time as long as you have a chalkboard.

Although it is useless to really write books and paintings, it can be used for learning in private, but it is a good use.

Therefore, in stationery stores, there is a situation where scholars are scrambling to buy chalk.

A scholar wants to buy: "Shopkeeper, bring me two packs of chalk!" ”

Some scholars scrambled: "I want ten packs." ”

There are also some people who are arrogant: "A group of scum, I want twenty packs!" ”

But they were greeted by the shopkeeper's hands.

"I'm sorry, but please come back tomorrow! The chalk has run out. ”

"What? Come back tomorrow? ”

"I've been waiting for a long time, how can I wait for tomorrow!"

The shopkeeper was no longer surprised, and pointed to a group of people outside the store indifferently.

"See? Some people have already started queuing, and if you are stunned, you will not be able to buy it tomorrow. ”

These scholars were red-eyed and rushed outside the store, fighting for me, just to line up.

In fact, the big sales of chalk have long been foreseen by Du Shen, because it satisfies some of people's needs for writing, and if they can make pencils, they will definitely sell more than chalk.

But at this time, Du Shen couldn't care about how hot the business was.

Because!

Dujia Village Private School, there is a big man who is not trivial.

Today's crown prince, the only son of Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhang, Zhu Houzhao!

However, at this time, Zhu Houzhao did not look like a prince at all, but like a poor boy who came out of a poor country, he was dusty and dusty, and his shoes were full of mud.

Du Shen looked at the prince.

He was still young, only ten years old, dressed in coarse cloth, but his eyes were piercing, and he seemed out of place with his peers.

Du Shen knew that he was the Ming Wuzong who received mixed reviews in later generations, who was martial in his life, and also built a leopard house, nostalgic every day, and did not want to go to the court.

You call him mediocre!

He has provided disaster relief and reduced taxes many times, and thieves can fight, punish Liu Jin, make peace, and even defeat the little prince of Tatar.

But you said he was Mingjun......

He was unscrupulous, liked to have fun, and even created the feat of not going to court for eight years, and even listened to the Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin and allowed him to kill many ministers.

And today, the future successor of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, appeared in front of Du Shen.

When the prince saw Du Shen, he immediately bowed down, and although his voice was immature, he was very firm: "Zhu Houzhao to meet Mr., please accept me as a teacher." ”

Hiss......

Du Shen gasped and worshipped himself as a teacher?

Is this going to turn the sky upside down?

Even if you dare to worship, I don't dare to accept it!

Du Shen clearly remembered that Zhu Houzhao did not have a teacher, his teacher was the famous veteran of the Four Dynasties in history, Yang Tinghe, who was a mess.

How awesome is Yang Tinghe?

He was a jinshi in the Chenghua period, awarded the review during the Hongzhi period, and was appointed as the prince's lecture, and during the Zhengde period, that is, Zhu Houzhao served as the first assistant, and was later dismissed, and then the official was reinstated during the Longqing period.

He is not only awesome himself, but also has a son, Yang Shen, who can be said to be knowledgeable about the four books and five classics of astronomy and geography, and is a famous writer.

and Yang Tinghe robbed the apprentice, isn't that looking for death!

Du Shen hurriedly picked up Zhu Houzhao and refused: "The prince is serious, the minister is just an ordinary teacher, how dare he speak as a teacher." ”

Zhang Hao also pinched a sweat for his own master, if he really accepted the prince as a teacher, those ministers in the court were not allowed to come to the door!

Zhao Xiu and Sun Pengju also look at me, I look at you, secretly shocked by the fame of the master, and even made the prince look for him, and he had to apprentice.

At this time, the eunuch who followed Zhu Houzhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this Du Shen still knows the general situation, and he did not accept the prince as a teacher, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

The eunuch is none other than Liu Jin, but now he is different from the famous acting emperor in later generations, his face is sallow, as if he is malnourished, his eyes are narrow, revealing a sense of obscenity.

Seeing that Du Shen was unwilling to accept apprentices, Zhu Houzhao was in trouble.

Unlike Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao came out this time, not a private visit, but a sneak out.

Since Du Shen became famous in Beijing, Zhu Houzhao often heard his name from the mouth of Emperor Hongzhi, and praised him as a great talent every time he mentioned it.

In addition, Yang was quite rigid in his reading, and he didn't deal with Zhu Houzhao's temper, so on a whim, he simply went out of the palace to find Du Shen.

One is the young man's temperament, and he wants to change to a more interesting teacher, and the other is that he is suffocated, and he can't help but want to go out of the palace to see.

In particular, it can be seen that the current crown prince is also a bold lord.

Now that I've come here, if I really run for nothing, it will be a big loss.

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and looked up at Du Shen: "Sir, do you know that I am the current prince!" ”

Du Shen's eyelids jumped wildly: "Of course I know." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since Mr. knows, why don't you want to accept me as an apprentice?" It's just that you can't look down on me, Zhu Houzhao can't do it! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Du Shen hurriedly shook his head.

Just kidding, don't look down on today's prince?

He hasn't lived long enough!

Du Shen hurriedly explained: "The prince misunderstood, the reason why the minister is reluctant to include you in the door is because you already have a teacher, and that Yang is the one who can teach you if he has great talent in reading." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart!"

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to blink his eyes and bow his head in contemplation.

Du Shen let out a long breath.

As a teacher with noble feelings, it was the first time for him to drive the fat sheep sent to the door.

But if you don't rush it, this person in front of you is the current prince, the future king of a country, and the matter is very important, even if Emperor Hongzhi is willing, he has to think about it.

However, Du Shengang breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Houzhao raised his head again.

This time, he seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly said, "I understand!" The reason why my husband is reluctant to accept me as an apprentice is because Yang is lecturing and reading, and if he is gone, he will naturally be willing to accept me as an apprentice. ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao bowed and bowed: "Teacher, wait first, the student will go back to the palace and talk to Yang to reason." ”

Du Shen: ......

You know a farrow!

"Wait!"
