Chapter 69 Eternal Legacy
"Competition is inevitable in the business world, but if everyone is ignorant of progress and instead uses a petty mind to slander others, how can businesses operate honestly? It's said that the fittest survive. If you can't even withstand this little difficulty, running to Magistrate Ma to cry and complain, I think it's better not to do business at all!"
This dark-faced young master's words were sharp and powerful, every sentence was impressive, the crowd applauded and cheered, this eloquence is truly extraordinary, it's unknown what kind of divine being this dark-faced young master is, he's simply talented and knowledgeable beyond compare.
"Well said!" Several shopkeepers who couldn't help but applaud, what a useless person, only knows how to be a snitch, what kind of business can this kind of person run?
The owners of these wine houses only read a few years of books, how can they defeat Zhu Ziming's iron teeth and copper teeth? They looked at Master Ma with no power to counterattack, wanting Master Ma to come forward again.
A bunch of good-for-nothings! Magistrate Ma cursed under his breath, and it was fortunate that he had helped them out.
Before the banquet, these few wine shop owners had found Magistrate Ma and given him some red envelopes, hoping that he would take their side, but they hadn't expected this suddenly appearing black-faced young master to be so formidable.
Magistrate Ma didn't refute, instead he smiled wryly and clapped his hands: "Good, this young master is indeed talented... you all don't need to argue anymore, it's not your fault, no wonder others snatched the business."
Upon hearing Magistrate Ma's words, the several wine shop owners were like deflated balloons, letting out a sigh. Now that things had come to this point, it was clear that Magistrate Ma would no longer be on their side.
No choice, the silver was sent, and they suffered a loss. The few bosses were bitter in their hearts, but there was nothing to be said. They could only blame this black-faced young master for being too nosy, what business did he have with the Shen family's Yuquan Building?
They just didn't know Zhu Ziming's identity, although he was the fake son-in-law of the Shen family, but now he had gradually gotten along with Shen Xiaoni, and this fake could soon become real, how could he not help his future wife?
"Obeying your orders, sir," several tavern owners bowed with their fists and sat down dejectedly.
"May I ask your esteemed surname and given name, young master?"
Since this young master with a dark face is so extraordinary, he should naturally be the young master of a wealthy family. However, Magistrate Ma has not recognized him yet and couldn't help but ask curiously.
And the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wei Gongzi Wei Dongcheng, carefully measured Zhu Ziming, and did not expect that the small Lingyun City would have such a talented person. I'm afraid even the scholars in the capital city can't compare with him.
Wei Dongcheng's gaze drifted towards Shen Bixia, looking at this beautiful woman with a face like a painting, skin as white as snow, and an outstanding figure. Wei Dongcheng was suddenly startled, thinking she was a fairy, but the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, with a sense of having met before...
"Where did I see this girl before?" Wei Dongcheng muttered in a low voice.
Zhu Zi Ming naturally wouldn't introduce himself, and with a sly smile said: "I am Zhou Bo Tong, also known as the one who makes the pear blossoms press down the sea pinks."
What flower suppresses the sea peach? Everyone was stunned, this strange font is still heard for the first time, what's going on...
How strange! Shen Bi Xing was both embarrassed and angry, unable to bear it and stretched out her small hand to lightly pinch his waist.
Zhūzi's waist suddenly hurt, and he was stunned for a moment. This old mother tiger really has more and more feminine charm, and she can even do this move now, haha, she's made progress.
Under the influence of his emotions, Zhu Zi Ming couldn't help but grab her outstretched small hand and stroked the back of it a few times...
"Ah......" Shen Bixian let out a soft cry, the warmth on the back of her hand making her blush uncontrollably. How dare this man be so bold, with so many people around, and still have the audacity to be so rude.
One could imagine him speaking eloquently just now, with a spirited and refreshing demeanor. Shen Bixia's beautiful eyes sparkled with delight, her face flushing as she lowered her head, pursing her red lips: "You scoundrel, can't you do anything but bully me?"
Looking at Miss Shen's scorching cheeks, the pretty little face rose with two red flushes, making her whole person look even more delicate and charming. Zhu Ziming had never seen this little girl look so feminine before, he was stunned, as if he had been foolish.
As the two of them bickered and flirted, Magistrate Ma saw Shen Biyin's bashful appearance, her previously cold face now radiant with a rosy glow, like a snow lotus blooming on Mount Tian, exuding a subtle fragrance amidst its icy elegance, truly leaving a unique aftertaste in his heart.
What a Miss Shen, truly a woman like an immortal fairy, Magistrate Ma couldn't help but secretly admire her, and almost drool.
"Damn it, this old geezer! Zhu Ziming's eyebrows were almost twisted together in anger. He was itching to give the old lecher a punch, but instead he chuckled and said: 'Magistrate Ma, today I've come on behalf of my master to offer you congratulations.'"
"Who is your benefactor?" Magistrate Ma asked in surprise.
Zhu Ziming said: "My benefactor is Mr. Kong Lixia."
I thought Confucius hadn't come, but unexpectedly he sent his disciple today. Magistrate Ma was shocked and asked in confusion: "I've heard that Mr. Kong doesn't accept students, could it be that he's made an exception this time?"
This little guy is so cheerful and carefree, but he doesn't seem to have any proper skills or behavior, I wonder if he's just sneaking in here to get a free meal. Magistrate Ma thought to himself, but this kid's learning abilities are truly astonishing, could it be that Confucius himself made an exception for him?
If this young man with a dark face is really a disciple of Confucius, as Kong Li is the emperor's mentor, this kid will surely have an unlimited future.
Zhu Ziming smiled and said: "Magistrate Ma is wrong, I am just a nominal disciple of my benevolent teacher."
Named disciple... Lord Ma was stunned, the crowd was shocked. A named disciple and a true disciple, though only one level apart, are as different as heaven and earth.
It was just a nominal disciple after all. Ma Youcai snorted coldly, this kid can only rely on the care of this white-faced young master.
Mr. Ma responded with a faint hum, and didn't take the person in front of him too seriously anymore. He was just curious why this person would help Miss Shen so much, even going as far as to right the wrongs for her. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to Miss Shen's beauty and was playing the hero to rescue her?
"Master Zhu Ming clasped his fists and said: 'I was specially sent by our master to offer congratulations to Lord Ma...'"
"Lasting for thousands of autumns and tens of thousands of years, supreme and unparalleled!"
"Pfft......" The crowd spat it out, the fine wine they had just swallowed was all spat out, their eyes wide with shock. This black-faced young master was too bold, daring to say such words, and actually looked down on the Lord of the City, and framed the Magistrate in injustice.
"Cough, cough..." Magistrate Ma was so frightened that he coughed several times, his eyes wide with fear and his tongue tied. His small county was no match for the powerful Lingyun City, this young man was simply trying to get him killed.
Yan Yun's face was covered in cold sweat, this Zhu brother always made people worry.
