Chapter 48 Warm-up

  At this time, Kong Li suddenly appeared in front of Shen Biying: "Girl, do you still remember me?"

  Shen Bi Xing looked at the old man in front of her, and indeed, he seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite recall who he was. Searching through her memories for this aged face, suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight: "Are you Lord Kong Li?"

  "Hehe......" Kong left Huai with a smile and said: "I remember when I was in the capital, you were still a little girl, didn't expect that in a flash, you would become such an elegant and beautiful woman."

  Kong felt a deep sense of nostalgia, thinking that it had been over a decade since Shen family's young lady, the emperor's niece, came to live in the capital city for several years, and he had only met her a few times back then. Time really flies!

  Shen Bi Xing's heart was slightly excited, during her stay in the capital, the most profound impression she had was of this Hanlin Academy scholar, Mr. Kong, whose literary talent was extraordinary and who was also a man of integrity, and even more so, he was her aunt's respected teacher, with a reputation that spread far and wide.

  Although I've heard Zhu Ziming mention inviting Mr. Kong to take the position of president, Shen Bixian came here today also wanting to see this old acquaintance from back then, Mr. Kong Li, but now Mr. Kong looks much older and for a moment Shen Bixian didn't recognize him.

  Zhū Zǐ Míng hadn't expected that this old man Kong would know his own wife, and in his heart he couldn't help but wonder what Miss Shen looked like when she was young. Was she also cold as ice back then?

  Upon hearing Mr. Kong's words, Shen Biyin's face turned red with a smile: "Mr. Kong is as elegant as ever..."

  Kong Li smiled: "I'm old, how can I compete with the young people of today... I've long since retired and am no longer any kind of 'Duke Kong', just call me Old Man Kong."

  Shen Bixia's expression turned cold again, and she said lightly: "Uncle Kong... my mother is also thinking of you. If you have time, come to the Shen Mansion for a visit."

  Madam Shen? Kong Li is even more familiar with her. Her husband died early, and she had to take care of the wine house alone, as well as raise her daughter. She has been working hard for so many years, it's really hard for her.

  Kong's eyes were filled with a nostalgic look, and he smiled: "Good, if I have time one day, I will definitely come to the Shen Mansion for a visit and have some tea."

  After a pause, Kong Li looked at Zhu Ziming with deep meaning and said seriously: "Miss, you have a capable and good husband."

  Shen Bixian did not expect Lord Kong to say this, and after being stunned for a moment, her face immediately flushed with two red clouds, but she hummed softly: "He's just a troublemaker, Uncle Kong shouldn't believe him."

  Master Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, "How can you say such a thing about your future husband?"

  Kong Li only knew that Zhu Zi Ming was the son-in-law of the Shen family, but he didn't expect him to be the future husband of Shen Qian's daughter. This world is really small, and fate is indeed mysterious.

  "Haha!" Kong Li burst out laughing: "This girl, he's got great writing skills and brains, he'll definitely make a name for himself in the future... it's just that his face is a bit too thick."

  "Mr. Kong, you're too much! You can't just take advantage of people like that..." A thick face is a virtue!

  "Haha!" Everyone burst out laughing. This Zhu Gongzi's words were indeed humorous and his tone was quite strange.

  "Uncle Kong, he's always been like this, don't get angry with him." Miss Shen's words implied that not only was he her uncle, but also his elder, and should be respected.

  "No harm done, Zhu Xiaoge's nature has always been so carefree and unrestrained, I've long gotten used to it. Zhu Xiaoge indeed has a few parts of an unusual ease that ordinary people don't have," Kong Lie said with a smile.

  Yes, that's just how he is, saying whatever comes to mind. Shen Xinxin nodded secretly, this rascal has no idea how many times he's gotten himself into trouble.

  At this time, Zhu Ziming suddenly used his arm to hook around Kong Li's neck and said warmly: "Mr. Kong......"

  Seeing this scene, everyone secretly wiped a cold sweat, and it was laughable that Zhu Dachang actually hooked shoulders with Confucius, which was too unbelievable.

  Lin Zhīyún pursed her red lips and giggled, Brother-in-law is being weird again, can Master Kong be so intimate?...

  "Brother Zhu......" Yan Yinyi's head suddenly shot up a black line, and he quietly stabbed his back from behind. Could this emperor's mentor be so "familiar"?

  When Shen Biyin was biting her silver teeth and her pretty face was cold, Zhu Ziming continued: "Mr. Kong, when did you first see Miss Shen?"

  Kong Li was at a loss for what to do with him, and could only bitterly smile and shake his head: "I'm afraid I've also forgotten, it seems like he's even younger than Xiao Die by several years."

  Zhu Ziming took a glance at Kong Xiaodie, who was only ten years old. If she were a few years younger... He whispered in Kong Li's ear, "Wasn't it when she still wore open-crotch pants?"

  However, Zhu Ziming did not know that Shen Biying had already perked up her ears and was curiously listening in secret...

  "Zhu! Zi! Ming!" A cold voice, like a drop of ice, suddenly rang out. Zhu Ziming's whole body trembled, and I was startled, how could this be heard?

  Then, around the high platform, a beautiful young lady with a long skirt was chasing after a robust man...

  Today I'm going to make his other eye swell too! Shen Biying's face was red with anger, her fists clenched, and she huffed.

  "Miss Shen, a lady should not fight with her hands!" Zhu Ziming shouted while running, last time she ambushed him, this time he wanted to hit back, but it's not that easy, besides, he had to go on stage to give a speech later, and if he showed up with panda eyes again, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

  It's often said that a gentleman uses his mouth but not his fists, but what about this woman who uses her mouth but not her fists? Everyone is stunned. This Zhu Gongzi is truly shameless and helpless.

  When Shen Bixian had chased him for a while, her anger dissipated somewhat, and she suddenly felt that she was chasing her future husband, wouldn't she become an evil woman? She quickly stopped and stood up with Lin Zhuyun again, staring at him with icy eyes.

  "Brother Zhu, stop making trouble," Yan Yinyi said with a bitter smile: "The people in the city have been waiting for a long time."

  Almost forgot, Zhu Ziming took a glance at the empty seats on the grass and hastily climbed onto the high platform. Seeing the strange gazes of the crowd, his old face turned red as he lightly coughed and said: "I get nervous every time I go on stage, so I need to warm up beforehand. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

  This black-faced young master is completely talking nonsense with his eyes open, everyone laughed twice, and it's certain that he has done something despicable, otherwise why would a beautiful lady chase him to beat him up?
