Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 118 1 Zhu Di: An ordinary leopard print aunt?
Xuanwu Academy.

Zhu Di came to the academy for a stroll today and was chatting with Luo Guanzhong, Han Yike and Zheng Shiyuan.

At this time, an elegant and pleasant voice came: "Is anyone here?"

A woman walked into the courtyard. She wore a little makeup, but her face was extremely beautiful. She had slender eyebrows, fair complexion, elegant and calm manners, and wore a plain dress that showed off her beautiful curves.

If Fourth Master Zhu were here, he would definitely be surprised, because this is the woman by the Xuanwu Lake in the morning.

"Xiangyu?" Zheng Shiyuan shouted to the woman in surprise, "You're here."

"Brother Shiyuan." The woman's beautiful eyes were cold and elegant.

Zheng Shiyuan quickly introduced it to everyone.

It turns out that this woman's name is Chu Xiangyu, and she is a talented woman famous in Jiangnan.

She saw Zheng Shiyuan's letter and made a special trip to the academy to study.

"A woman studying?" Luo Guanzhong frowned.

"Could it be that your Xuanwu Academy, like other academies, does not accept women?" Chu Xiangyu asked coldly.

Zhu Di jumped out immediately and said in a affirmative tone: "I will definitely accept him! My master said that men and women are equal, and he has already accepted a female disciple."

"This is the dean's personal disciple."

Zheng Shiyuan introduced to Chu Xiangyu, and then nodded, "He is right. Our dean is different from other so-called great scholars. He has no family background and values ​​women as much as men."

Han Yike stood up and echoed: "Yes, our dean has noble moral character and profound knowledge, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary scholars."

Zhu Di continued: "My master is a noble person, a moral person, a pure person, and a person who has escaped from vulgar taste."

He heard this from his master.

After hearing their praise of the dean, Chu Xiangyu's originally tangled brows relaxed.

She was also looking forward to meeting this different dean, hoping that this dean could help her do that big thing.

"Come on, let's talk in the room." Zheng Shiyuan invited.

"Brother Shiyuan, I've traveled a long way, can you wash up and rest first?" Chu Xiangyu asked.

"Of course, I will take you to your academy right now." Zheng Shiyuan smiled, "There are only a few of us in the academy now. You can choose a small independent courtyard to live in."

Chu Xiangyu's beautiful eyes flashed.

The elegant environment of this academy is just what she wants. It would be great to be able to live in a small courtyard by herself.

……

Fourth Master Zhu came out of Jinyiwei and walked around the street again, and then came to Xuanwu Academy.

Today he made an appointment with his apprentice to go for a walk in the back mountain.

After all, they will move to the mountains behind the academy in the future, which will be more conducive to their practice.

After he entered the academy, he walked straight to the back mountain.

There is an elegant small courtyard near the back mountain. When Fourth Master Zhu passed by, he heard the sound of water rushing.

"Is there a thief?"

He flew down into the yard, followed the sound of water, and arrived in front of a room.

He looked inside through the crack in the window, and his eyes widened instantly.

Cio, beautiful woman taking a bath?
Such a gorgeous scene is something that only happens once in a hundred years.

The woman's black hair had been pulled up and bound by a jade hairpin, and her face was extremely beautiful without any makeup.

She lightly unbuttoned her clothes, and the white dress slowly slid down, revealing her skin as white and tender as gelatin, and her two white and tender feet were pulled out from the long dress that fell to the floor.

"Gudu~"

Fourth Master Zhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Isn't this the beautiful woman on the edge of Xuanwu Lake this morning? Tsk tsk, her figure is better than Feiyan.

He wanted to open the window a little so he could see everything.

Crunch!

Who knows, it makes a sound.

"Who?" The woman turned her head.

Fourth Master Zhu ran as fast as he could, his body movements were extremely fast.

The woman was naturally Chu Xiangyu. She quickly finished taking a shower, put on a light blue dress, and hurried out.

She just saw a figure with what seemed to be white hair.

"There is such a lecherous person in the academy." She said with a face as cold as ice, "We must catch him."

She came to the school and everyone was there.

Zheng Shiyuan saw her coming in and quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Xiangyu, our dean is back. Come and see her."

Chu Xiangyu paused and calmed down.

She thought that she would pay her respects to the dean first, and then talk about what happened just now. Facing a respected elder, she took a slight breath and walked in.

Then, she walked in and saw a silver-haired old man sitting there.

……

"It's you?"

Fourth Master Zhu and Chu Xiangyu said in unison.

Chu Xiangyu frowned slightly and looked at the dean in front of her.

Highly respected? Knowledgeable?
Is he a noble person, a moral person, a pure person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste?

It must have been him who peeked at me taking a shower just now.

"Just now...were you...you..." Chu Xiangyu was so angry that her chest rose a little higher.

Fourth Master Zhu looked at the ups and downs in front of her and asked innocently: "Girl, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Chu Xiangyu collapsed.

Does this old man look like a highly respected dean? He's just an old pervert.

She bit her red lips tightly, took a deep breath, glared at Fourth Master Zhu fiercely and said, "Let me ask you, I want to take the scientific examination. Do you have any idea? If so, I will stay."

"A woman takes the scientific examination?"

Luo Guanzhong on the side was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, "This is impossible. The court does not allow women to participate in scientific examinations."

Chu Xiangyu turned around and left.

Fourth Master Zhu immediately stopped her: "Wait a minute, I have an idea."

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Zhu Di asked: "Master, can you still change the rules of the court?"

Chu Xiangyu also stared at him, wanting to slap him to death.

"Actually, it's very simple." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "Isn't it just a matter of a woman disguising herself as a man? I can use my method to give you a new identity. Isn't that simple?"

"Fourth Master, is this not possible? If found out, it would be a serious crime." Luo Guanzhong said.

"If you find out, I will bear the responsibility and it has nothing to do with you." Chu Xiangyu stared at Master Zhu and said, "Okay, then I, Chu Xiangyu, will join the Xuanwu Academy."

"Wait a minute, does this give you an advantage?" Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "I took the risk for you."

"Then what do you want?" Chu Xiangyu asked.

"Well, let's go and chat alone." Fourth Master Zhu walked out with his hands behind his back.

Chu Xiangyu hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Zhu Di looked at Fourth Master Zhu's back and cursed secretly: "This old Bideng is in love again."

……

Fourth Master Zhu took Chu Xiangyu to the corridor outside.

Chu Xiangyu was as cold as ice, and there was a murderous intent in her cold beautiful eyes.

"Why do you have to take the scientific examination?" Mr. Zhu said with a smile on his face.

"It's none of your business." Chu Xiangyu glanced sideways, her voice as cold as ice. "If you don't tell me the real reason, I won't help you." Fourth Master Zhu didn't take it seriously and was full of confidence. "No one in the entire capital has the courage to help you except me."

Chu Xiangyu pursed her lips, her cold and charming eyes flashing with cold light.

She looked tangled, thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me tell you, I am taking the scientific examination to win the top prize, and I want to seek justice for my sisters in the Jinluan Palace."

"There is a story." Master Zhu was very interested when he heard the words, "Come on, let's talk about it."

Chu Xiangyu stopped worrying and explained why she risked her life to take the scientific examination.

It turns out that she has a sister named Su Xiaomei, who is also a talented girl famous in Jiangnan.

When Zhu Yuanzhang personally conquered Wuzhou, his nephew Zhu Wenzheng dedicated Su Xiaomei to Zhu Yuanzhang, but one night later, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Su Xiaomei to be beheaded.

Poor little girl Su just passed away.

"How can we take over the world with women's lust in mind? Punish them in the market and use them to sacrifice!"

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang said back then. After he killed Su Xiaomei, no one dared to offer beautiful women to him anymore, and the generals in the army did not dare to snatch beautiful women by force.

"I see." After hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu frowned, "What does this have to do with your scientific examination?"

"I have my own way to seek justice for my sister." Chu Fangyu's eyes were sharp, "I have told you now, do you still dare to help me?"

"Why don't you dare to do this?" Fourth Master Zhu raised his eyebrows, "But why should I help you?"

"If you have any conditions, just ask." Chu Xiangyu raised her eyebrows and asked.

Fourth Master Zhu looked at her unscrupulously.

He secretly thought that he could use this woman to hone his courage.

"I will tell you when I have thought about it." He spread his hands and smiled.

Chu Xiangyu pursed her red lips and clenched her hands into fists. She endured it.

……

Finally, Fourth Master Zhu announced to everyone: Chu Xiangyu has joined Xuanwu Academy, and there is a girl in the academy. Everyone should pay attention in the future. If anyone is found peeking at other girls taking a bath or something, they will be severely punished.

Chu Xiangyu gave Mr. Zhu a hard look, turned around and left, returning to her small courtyard.

Zhu Di looked at Fourth Master Zhu with a puzzled face and asked: "Master, do you have any grudge against Sister Chu? This must not be the first time we have met, right?"

Luo Guanzhong, Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike also looked at him.

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands: "Of course it's the first time we've met. Okay, let's go study. There's a message from Qi De. There will be a debate at the end of the month. Don't embarrass me then."

After saying that, he took Zhu Di to visit the back mountain.

At this time, a group of people arrived outside the yard, and a middle-aged man full of murderous aura asked: "Is Fourth Master here?"

Fourth Master Zhu turned around and saw a young man standing next to the middle-aged man, with a group of servants behind him.

The moment the young man saw Zhu Di, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Master Zhu asked.

"Junior Li Wenzhong specially sent his dog to study in the academy." The middle-aged man said.

Fourth Master Zhu was stunned.

Li Wenzhong? This is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and one of the future six founding Dukes.

Isn't his son Li Jinglong, the 'God of War of the Ming Dynasty'?

What an unexpected surprise. Someone came to study. Although it was Li Jinglong, he was at least the son of a powerful person.

"Hahaha, welcome." Mr. Zhu immediately put on a smile and said, "General Li, please come in."

Li Wenzhong took Li Jinglong into the yard.

Of course, he decided to send his son to the unreliable Xuanwu Academy because of the introductions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.

"Juniors pay their respects to Fourth Master." Li Wenzhong bowed respectfully to Fourth Master Zhu.

Before coming, Zhu Yuanzhang told him to treat Fourth Master Zhu with courtesy and respect as a junior.

Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand: "General Li, you're welcome."

Li Wenzhong looked serious: "I'm here to enroll Quanzi. I wonder how much training is needed?"

Shuxiu?

What the hell?
Fourth Master Zhu was a little confused. Luo Guanzhong on the side quickly reminded: "It's just how much it is."

He understood, it turned out to be tuition fees.

"One thousand and two years," he blurted.

Luo Guanzhong, Han Yike and Zheng Shiyuan all staggered.

Ciao, one thousand taels? Why don't you go and grab it?
Dean, you haven't received any money from us, so you can't catch a fat sheep and slaughter it to death. Who is willing to spend a thousand taels to enter your academy without a single famous scholar? His head was squeezed by the door?

"Okay!" Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth, "It's just one thousand taels. I'll ask my servant to bring it to you later."

He was unwilling at first, but the emperor and empress introduced him, so he had no choice but to comply.

I didn't expect the dean to ask for a thousand taels. He really didn't bring so much money.

"Hahaha, look, this boy has a heroic face, he will definitely become the Ming God of War in the future." Fourth Master Zhu was happy.

He reached out and pinched Li Jinglong's face.

Li Jinglong knew about Fourth Master Zhu, his eyes were blazing, and he wanted to learn from Fourth Master Zhu, and then he would be as powerful as the Fourth Prince.

Luo Guanzhong, Han Yike and Zheng Shiyuan were all dumbfounded.

Why, for this Sanwu Academy, would anyone really be willing to spend a thousand taels?

……

Half an hour later.

Fourth Master Zhu personally saw off Li Wenzhong and his party. Of course, Li Jinglong stayed. From now on, he will study and live in the academy, and he is looking forward to it.

Zhu Di took him to choose a school.

"Fourth Prince, can I join your Zhatian Gang?" Li Jinglong asked.

"Of course. If anything happens in the future, just ask me. I will protect you." Zhu Di spread his hands.

After he settled Li Jinglong, he went to find Fourth Master Zhu, and they had to go to the back mountain.

The two masters and apprentices were walking on the trail at the back of the mountain. Zhu Di asked tentatively: "Master, who is Chu Xiangyu? You must know her, don't try to confuse me."

"Just an ordinary leopard-print aunt." Fourth Master Zhu said casually.

Zhu Di had never heard of a leopard print aunt, but he probably knew what it meant. He frowned: "An ordinary leopard print aunt again? What about Aunt Zhao from Feiyan Tower? I still think she is beautiful."

Fourth Master Zhu has a black streak on his head.

In his heart, of course he also likes beauties like Zhao Xuanzhen, but does he want to marry her back? forget about it.

In his previous life, he was a bachelor and an otaku. In this life, he rowed without an oar and relied on waves all his life.

The two quickly reached the top of the back mountain.

There are three wooden houses here, which are very elegant and exquisite. These wooden houses are also scattered on the mountainside for future disciples to live in.

"Master, how many direct disciples do you plan to accept?" Zhu Di asked, blinking.

"It depends on fate." Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "There are four now, and there may be more in the future."

"Who is my senior brother?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Your senior brother, that's amazing. That's an expert that the current emperor can't even meet." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand.

Fourth Master Zhu curled his lips and decided that he was bragging.

Who in this world dares not to see his father? Is he drifting away, or is my father unable to hold the knife?
"Master, when will the second senior brother come to Beijing?" Zhu Di looked forward to it, "I heard that he is very rich. I will ask him to do something."

"I guess I will go to Beijing at the end of the month." Fourth Master Zhu smiled slyly, "At that time, we will join forces to kill your second senior brother."

Zhu Di held his forehead.

Why do I feel insecure as your apprentice?
