Chapter 47: Miss Shen Arrived

  Only saw these literati and scholars with elegant fans and kerchiefs, speaking eloquently, although already old, but also showing a dignified demeanor, all of them were worthy of being called sirs. Zhu Ziming felt relieved and bowed with a smile: "I've seen several sirs."

  Several gentlemen smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zhu is polite, I've long heard that Mr. Zhu's talent is impressive, today I see him, indeed he is quite extraordinary."

  "Where, where," Zhu Ziming politely said: "It's all because others have praised me, I'm just someone who has read a few years of books and knows some poetry."

  After all, they were unfamiliar with each other, so after a few pleasantries, the gentlemen smiled and stopped talking, instead carefully sizing up the head of the academy.

  This man is quite humble, several gentlemen in their hearts are puzzled, isn't it said that the son-in-law of the Shen family is shameless, but today he is seen to be polite and courteous, not at all like what people say, this child is rare indeed.

  "Don't be deceived by his false appearance, my friends," Chen Juren whispered, "This Zhu Xiaoge often gives people 'surprises', how can these old guys bear it."

  Thinking of his experience in Fengyalou, Chen Juren's face twitched, but he was not treated lightly.

  "Mr. Kong!" Zhu Ziming continued to ask after Kong Li's well-being.

  Kong Li smiled calmly: "Zhu Xiaoge, you don't need to be so polite, who's going to take the stage and host today?"

  "It can only be me," Zhu Ziming glanced at the high platform and smiled lewdly: "Or would Mr. Kong like to go up for me?"

  Instead of you, at your age, still letting me do this, Kong Li tactfully said: "I'm old and my memory is no longer good, I'm afraid it's difficult to take on this important task."

  Last night, Zhu Ziming studied the acupoint chart for a whole night. For today's event, he didn't prepare at all and rushed up hastily. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Zhu Ziming said in a low voice: "I'm afraid of heights..."

  This platform is only two meters high, and below it is a grass field. Can't you even die from the fall? Kong Li couldn't help but puff out his chest and glare: "I came to this academy as the principal just for your sake, you are the master of this school, yet you don't dare take responsibility, do you look like a man?"

  But I haven't prepared anything yet. Zhu Ziming glanced at Chen Juren, but let Chen Juren be so frightened that he retreated two steps; "Young man, don't look for me, my eloquence is not good."

  Zhūzi míng wúnài, wǒ hái méi kāikǒu le.

  Translation:

  Zhu Ziming was helpless, I haven't even spoken yet.

  "Alright," Zhu Ziming sighed: "Since none of you are willing, then I'll go up."

  Kong Li nodded secretly, while Kong Xiaodie hummed a sound, this bitter job still wants to be handed over to others, do you think others are fools?

  At this moment, everyone had arrived, and the people outside the academy were getting a bit impatient. Yan Yinyu hastily said: "Liu Guan Shi, you go and instruct the people to let them bring in the parents and relatives of the students in an orderly manner."

  "Yes, young master," replied Liu, and he hastily summoned several house servants to make arrangements at the gate of the academy.

  The crowd outside the academy continued to enter one by one in an orderly manner, and were then led to this place by the household servants. Looking at this long dragon-like queue, Yan Yinyi was full of joyful expressions. Today's crowd is indeed large, Zhu brother's strategy is truly effective.

  Kong Li stroked his beard, smiling as he gazed at the lively scene. This Zhu Xiaoge really had some skills; this gathering could rival those of the great academies in the capital.

  Among the continuous flow of people entering, Zhu Ziming's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar figure.

  "Miss, where is Master Gou?" A soft and sweet voice suddenly came from a young girl, it was Lan'er, the little maid.

  Miss Shen has arrived? Zhu Ziming looked over and saw Miss Shen wearing a pale yellow floral dress, her hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, her eyebrows like distant hills, her eyes like spring water. As she walked, her full and slender figure swayed gently, very captivating. Her face was cold and calm, exuding an air of icy beauty that was even more alluring.

  By Shen Biying's side was a lovely woman, who was none other than her younger sister-in-law Lin Zhuyun. Lin Zhuyun wore a delicate and lovely pink cheongsam, with eyebrows and eyes that were like a painting, tiptoeing as she searched for her brother-in-law's figure, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

  What a little loli, what a beautiful mature woman, Zhu Ziming couldn't help but drool at the sight of her, looking so seductive.

  "Which young lady has caught your eye?" Yan Yining couldn't help but secretly laugh at Zhu's antics.

  Following Zhu's line of sight, Yan Yinxin smiled and said: "Is that the woman in the yellow skirt? Brother Zhu really has a good eye."

  Even our own wives can't look at it? Zhu Ziming snorted: "That's my family's wife."

  "Sister-in-law? Yan Yileng was taken aback for a moment, then hastily stepped forward and bowed his fist: "I've seen sister."

  Although I knew that Brother Zhu was a son-in-law of the Shen family, I never thought that Miss Shen would be so stunningly beautiful. Brother Zhu is truly blessed with good fortune, and Yan Yilie couldn't help but feel envious.

  Suddenly, a young man appeared and called Shen Biyin "sister-in-law", which made Shen Biyin slightly startled. Seeing Zhu Ziming's smiling face, she immediately knew he was his friend and calmly said: "This young man, I haven't married him yet, why are you calling me sister-in-law?"

  "Uh... Yan Yunli's breath caught, and he could only smile wryly after being rebuffed. This Shen Miss was indeed very cold, it was unknown whether Zhu brother could take it."

  Yan Yiming's face turned red with embarrassment. Zhu Ziming intervened, "Miss Shen, what brings you here?"

  "Sister-in-law," Lin Zhuyun jumped out from behind Shen Bixia, excitedly saying: "Isn't your school opening today? That's why I brought my sister to take a look."

  Little beauty is lively and lovely, instantly attracting the attention of many people. Those who know Zhu Ziming can't help but sigh in their hearts: one is as cold as ice, the other is charming and captivating. This little guy really has a lot of good fortune!

  Shen Bixian didn't say a word, but instead looked around, and unexpectedly found that the academy was quite large in scale, covering an area of more than ten mu. If it were to be officially opened, it would probably make a lot of money.

  Zhū Zǐ Míng smiled: "En, let's see your brother-in-law show off his skills later."

  "Great!" Lin Zhīyún smiled and said: "Brother-in-law is the most formidable."

  Listening to their laughter, Shen Bixian hummed: "Don't be too smug."

  Zhu Ziming walked up to her and said softly, "Miss Shen, everyone is watching, do you still want your future husband to be humiliated here?"

  Seeing the gaze of the crowd, Shen Biyin's pretty face turned red, and she secretly glared at him, her voice soft: "Mother asked me to tell you, be careful with what you do, don't lose the face of the Shen family."

  Zhu Ziming nodded slightly, but then pretended to be disappointed and said: "So Miss Shen is here specifically to deliver a message. I thought she was here to visit me. Alas..."

  Shen Bi Xing's face turned red with anger and she snorted: "Of course it's to spread the word, what else could it be, coming to see you?"

  But as soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Ziming burst out laughing, and the little girl fell into his trap.

  "Ugh...!" Shen Bi Xing said with a blush: "Despicable scoundrel!"

  Looking at the two of them whispering to each other, their relationship doesn't seem as incompatible as imagined. Yan Yining sighed, it's more like a loving couple teasing each other.
