The Great Seminary

Chapter 232 This method is excellent (Part 1)

Zhen Ciyun's serious reprimand of her younger sister, despite the presence of many unfamiliar classmates, was not intended to embarrass Zhen Shijing.

Instead, it was through Sun Chonghe's actions of "spending ten years honing a sword, showing its frosty edge to the emperor" that his sister was deeply shocked, allowing her to reach a higher level in her cultivation.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a great river is formed from countless small streams."

Xunzi's words are indeed profound truth!

Today, thanks to Chonghe's exemplary conduct and Sister's verbal instruction, Zhen Shijing has learned a great deal!

Zhen Shijing did not waste her sister's good intentions. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer shocked or confused.

He solemnly cupped his hands in a salute.

After finishing, for some reason, Zhen Shijing inexplicably thought of Zhang Gui bowing solemnly to his sister after receiving instruction.

I realized that I seemed to be imitating him at this moment.

Zhen Ciyun and Sun Chonghe, standing in front of them, were naturally unaware of the changes in Zhen Shijing's heart.

The older sister regained her gentle demeanor, smiled with satisfaction, and remained silent.

Sun Chonghe then stepped forward and took his handkerchief.
"Alright, alright, we're best friends who grew up together, why are you being so formal?"

Moreover.

I drink my sorrowful wine and hone my sword.

What you gain from seeing this is your own ability, and has nothing to do with me.

However, it's wrong of you to gather so many people and go out to play without inviting me.

"Then you can blame me."

I originally said I wanted to find you and Fushou and Baochang to go to the outer city dock area together.

As a result, you all disappeared in the blink of an eye after school ended. What could I do?

Gu Rongjin knows the most about this; you can ask him if you don't believe me.

"Yes, that's exactly right."

Gu Rongjin seemed still stunned by the sharp sword intent that Sun Chonghe had just unleashed, and stammered.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Sun Chonghe's face.
"I see. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Shijing. It seems I misunderstood you."

"You know that's good, but don't do it again next time."

The friendship of over a decade quickly dispelled any lingering feelings Zhen Shijing had after Sun Chonghe's meteoric rise.

"Since we've met here, let's go together."

"That would be excellent."

Sun Chonghe clapped and laughed, then took his arm through his girlfriend's. The two of them teased each other, whispering among themselves, and walked out of the bamboo grove.

Not a moment.

The group left the gate of Xianhezhai and leisurely descended the mountain.

On the main road where the mountain meets Wolf Tail Ward, several four-horse carriages, though not luxurious, were already parked.

It was just a group of students who were tired of studying, so they decided to go out and relax together.

Even on enemy territory, putting on airs like this is already quite respectable.

But Zhen Shijing, seeing this, deliberately found fault:

"It's fine if it's just a trip with three or five friends."

Now, so many of us are riding in four-horse carriages.

In the sweltering summer heat, there's probably not even enough room in the train carriage for "Ice Dragon".

Gu Rongjin, I told you this morning that you wanted to prepare your own car, but you insisted on being a hero, and look what happened…”

"The sun is almost setting, it's not that hot anymore."

Besides, we're not at Jinling Flower and Fish Restaurant now, do we still expect the grandeur of 'sprinkling clean water on the streets and paving the way with gold soil'?

This is already pretty good, so get on the bus.

Zhen Ciyun covered her sister's mouth and pulled her and Sun Chonghe into the lead carriage.

Seeing this, the remaining people also formed small groups of two or three, and got into different carriages.

Gu Rongjin naturally wanted to accompany her childhood sweetheart, Zhen Shijing, but she felt a little embarrassed to leave her new friend behind. Besides, it wasn't actually him who was preparing the car for this trip, but rather one of her friends, Xu Hong.

As a result, this guy went to great lengths to curry favor, but failed to win anyone's favor.

Instead, she was ridiculed by the ignorant Zhen Shijing.

"Senior Brother Xu, I apologize on Shi Jing's behalf..."

"Junior Brother Rongjin, what are you doing? As the ancients said:"

The ospreys cry "guan guan" on the river islet; a fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections.

It was because I wanted to 'seek' that I took the initiative to ask you to prepare the carriage for this trip.

The result was a disgraceful performance; what does that have to do with you?

Don't get emotional and take the blame on yourself.

"Hurry up and go find your childhood sweetheart, so we can set off."

Xu Hong was a tall, handsome, and imposing man, but he spoke with a gentle and refined manner, always smiling before he spoke, making him seem very approachable.

Gu Rongjin was most impressed with him among her new friends. Upon hearing this, she nodded gratefully and bowed in apology.

They ran towards the car at the front, which had already begun to slowly start moving.

Xu Bolan, standing to the side, watched his shrinking figure, sighed, and shook her head, saying:
"With a personality like Rong Jin's, she's likely to suffer if she falls into the hands of a haughty noblewoman like Zhen Shijing."

Old Xu, you'd better teach this future brother-in-law some basic skills in "disciplining his wife."

"Brother Bolan, don't talk nonsense. Although Zhen Shijing and Zhen Ciyun are sisters, their personalities are very different."

Otherwise, I'm afraid Old Xu wouldn't have developed such a 'gentleman's pursuit' of the elegant young lady from the Zhen family of Huayu.

You should know that he has never been one to curry favor.

Xu Hong glanced at his two close friends, Xu Bolan and Guo Anjing, who were exchanging knowing glances, then silently turned his back and walked to the last one or two carriages.

The group set off one after another, traveling swiftly to the outer city of Great Wolf Capital.

It was still early, but for some reason, Zhen Shijing, sitting in the first car, didn't immediately turn into the dock area.

They said they wanted to ride in the carriage for a while longer, and after galloping along the main road between the shops and the dock area for a long time, they finally entered the dock.

It was already close to evening.

Everyone finally got off the carriage.

Xu Bolan put both feet on the ground and moved his body a few times.

He suddenly laughed.

"Only Zhen Shijing would know how to pull off such a wasteful and self-defeating trick."

It is truly said that "women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with."

She had a sincere heart for spiritual practice, yet her conduct in society was quite poor, which was contradictory.

The others thought the same thing and couldn't help but look at Zhen Shijing.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Shijing then flicked the long sleeves of her Taoist robe and spoke with great elegance and politeness:

"Fellow students, you have come here today at my invitation."

It's best to eat and drink your fill before setting off. Please.

"If you can't even speak properly, how can you say you're 'on the road' whether you're just relaxing or enjoying the scenery?"

Guo Anjing chuckled softly upon hearing this.

At this time, Zhen Shijing had already chosen a seven-story restaurant that looked the best on the street.

We booked the largest private room on the roof overlooking the river.

at the same time.

On the deck of a gold smelting ship, bobbing up and down, at the canal dock of the Yuanshan Grassland.

Zhang Gui was flipping through a book, a "Great Edict" personally issued by Zhao Zhusha, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Turning to the page with the phrase "Those who colluded with foreign powers should be torn apart by five horses as a warning to others," I suddenly smiled.
“This method is very good.”
