After the court was over, Zhu Biao ordered his people to take dozens of cotton-padded clothes given by Empress Ma and take Zhu Bai to the Imperial College.
Zhu Bai didn't want to come.
Zhu Biao deliberately pulled him because he wanted to gain a good reputation for Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai came up with ideas and efforts, but it was he who benefited in the end.
This happened every time, and he always felt that he had taken advantage of Zhu Bai.
When the students learned that the clothes were made by Queen Ma and the concubines in the palace, they were all very grateful and respectfully took the clothes from Zhu Biao's hands.
Ouyang Lun happens to be here today.
Because he couldn't find a job for several days, he felt that this was not an option, and besides, the Imperial College had to rely on attendance before giving Yueyin.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Prince came to deliver cotton-padded clothes in person.
God helps him.
He took the cotton-padded clothes from Zhu Biao's hand, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully: "Your Highness really loves the people like a son, and this villain is so cruel to His Highness."
Zhu Biao smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this. When you wear clothes, always remember the Queen's teachings and encouragement, study hard, and contribute more to my Ming Dynasty in the future."
Zhu Bai caught a glimpse of the disdain flashing in Zhu Biao's eyes and was secretly surprised.
Zhu Biao showed such obvious likes and dislikes to someone he had just met once. It was really "the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair."
Zhu Biao encouraged the students a few more words before coming out.
He said to Zhu Bai: "Brother is rarely free, so I will go to the Guanyu Bureau with me today."
He wanted to understand the market conditions and understand the actual economic situation across the country, and he had the responsibility of supervising the official dental bureau.
Zhu Biao grinned: "Brother, I'm here to help. I couldn't ask for more."
Zhu Bai asked someone to bring out the account book and give it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao turned it over casually and put it aside.
He said to Zhu Bai: "That Ouyang Lun has no integrity as a scholar. Such people are easily bribed by money and power. If they gain power, they will be rampant and cunning, and their true colors will be exposed. No matter how talented they are, they cannot be reused."
Zhu Biao was afraid that he would recommend Ouyang Lun, so he wanted to tell him specifically.
Zhu Bai smiled: "I know, brother, don't worry. I don't like him either. I didn't expect that brother is the same as me."
Neither of them liked Ouyang Lun, and Ouyang Lun was sentenced to death for at least recommending him.

The Imperial College has now become the strongest academic gathering place in the world.
Although there are still many people applying, the Imperial College is only so big and has so much funding. Only those who are particularly talented can be specially admitted after passing the assessment of three examiners.
So that basically means: That’s it this time, please be early next time.
However, Zhu Bai felt that he could not stop everyone's eagerness to learn. Regardless of their status and age, even if they were not students from the Imperial College and wanted to attend classes, they could come to observe, but they could only stand in the corridor or by the door, and were not allowed to move around in the class or disturb other people.
Chen Nanbin agreed very much with this suggestion, saying that when Confucius taught, he taught everyone regardless of class, whether they were butchers or thieves, as long as they were willing to come.
Zhu Bai suggested that Chen Nanbin write out the schedule of the masters taking turns to attend classes and post it outside the door.
Although there are many disciples in the Imperial College, after all, there are specialties in the arts, but they are still limited. Learned people from various disciplines can be invited to give lectures as guest teachers.
You can even arrange guest lectures at fixed times.
Today Liu Bowen talks about Kanyu.
His reputation is great, and everyone is interested in this, so there are especially many people here to listen today. There are people standing in the corridor, on the trees in the yard at the door, on the beams, and beside the pillars.
Liu Bowen took a look and asked someone to put a futon on the aisle between the desks so that some old and weak people could sit down.
Zhu Bai originally didn't want to come, but was sent by Lao Zhu to listen.
There were many people outside. In view of Zhu Bai's "glorious deeds" before, the masters were afraid of causing trouble and asked him to listen behind the screen behind the podium.
Zhang Yu and Fugui were also with him.
He was a little confused. He listened at Liu Shengun's house, listened at the main hall, and listened at the Wenhua Hall. He hadn't heard enough, and he was even detained under surveillance in Guozi.
I kept hearing those things over and over again, but there was nothing good to hear.
Today Liu Bowen talks about how to choose a Yangzhai foundation that matches your horoscope.
He tried to choose relatively simple and easy-to-understand explanations, and also combined them with previous examples.
The people below listened with great interest.
Other officials secretly rolled their eyes: Haha, you old bitch named "Ji". You are just trying to gain attention and win over the people.
Do you want to be emperor or something? Why do you need so many people's hearts?
Liu Bowen finished speaking.
Someone said below: "Master Liu is famous all over the world for his physiognomy. Can we take a look at his physiognomy on the spot?"
Then everyone agreed: "Yes, yes, Master Liu, please help me read my palm."
"I would like to ask Master to help me read my horoscopes."
Zhu Bai was painting yin and yang fish behind the screen, but now he heard the noise outside and started laughing.
Let me tell you, why did Butcher Zhang, who sells meat in the West City, and Aunt Li, who sells fruit in Zhongcheng, both come here today? It turns out that they are here for the free fortune teller.
With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Bowen said: "Everyone, be quiet and don't make any noise. Since everyone is so eager to learn, I will randomly select three people at the scene for free, and one of them will be horoscope reading or palmistry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure got up from his seat, ran to Liu Bowen in a hurry, and saluted: "Thank you, Master."
There was silence, followed by angry shouts.
"Hey, what's going on with this guy? Didn't you promise to beat him up? Why did he just run up there on his own? He doesn't follow the rules."
"Ouyang Lun, what do you mean?"
"Master, don't show it to him, it's too disrespectful of martial ethics."
Ouyang Lun didn't seem to hear anything, so he stood with his eyes down and his hands folded.
Zhu Bai was secretly surprised: This guy is quite thick-skinned.
Liu Bowen stretched out his hands: "Everyone, don't panic."
It gradually became quiet down below.
Liu Bowen said: "This is also fate. Face-taking is about fate. Then I will be the first to give him a photo. I will draw the next two people at will. The person who is drawn will come up first."
Then he whipped an aunt and a watchman.
Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought for a while: It seems that Liu Shengun did not randomly select people as he said, but selected low-level people.
Ouyang Lun is one of the poorest students in the Imperial College.
The aunt and the watchman seemed to be poor and downtrodden.
Then Liu Bowen began to look at Ouyang Lun carefully.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet again.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that they would make some noise that would disturb the half-immortal's practice.
Liu Bowen remained silent for a long time.
Some people couldn't help but talk in low voices.
"Whether it's too good or too bad, Master Liu can't say."
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Zhu Bai couldn't help but stand up and walked around the screen to take a look.
Liu Bowen spoke slowly: "You have a plump heavenly body, and are born with heavy eyebrows. Many women will pursue you. With straight and straight roots, your head will be plump and your nose will be plump. You will definitely marry a rich wife in the future."
When Ouyang Lun heard this, he couldn't help being happy and held his hands in his hands: "Thank you, Master."
