Chapter 229 The Second Female Student
God bless you and good luck.
The martial arts school has recruited its second female student!
The second female student had an extraordinary identity. She was Yuan Caiwei, the youngest daughter of Yuan Chi, the general of the Left Guard.
Yuan Caiwei is eleven years old this year and has been practicing martial arts with her father and brothers at home since she was a child.
When she came to the martial arts school to take the test, she passed all three levels smoothly, showing good strength, endurance and reaction speed.
Zhou Jijiu is usually a very serious person, but he has been smiling from ear to ear these past two days.
By recruiting the second one, you can keep the first one.
When Su Zhizhi heard the news, her face blossomed with joy and she wanted to run around the mountain twice.
"Dad, Dad, have you heard? The martial arts school has recruited female students again, not just me. Dad, you can rest assured that I will go to the martial arts school."
Hao Ren held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"I heard about it, I heard about it."
In fact, Hao Ren had already compromised with his daughter in his heart.
Although he was worried at first, seeing his daughter's eagerness and happiness, he gave in. Even if the martial arts school didn't recruit other female students, he would find a foolproof way to let his daughter go.
On the first day of the martial arts school's official opening after the New Year, Su Zhizhi woke up early with great anticipation.
She was wearing the green student shirt issued by the martial arts school, like a green bamboo bathed in the spring breeze.
When I arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall, there were already quite a few people there.
Everyone was sending their children to the martial arts school. Some of the noble families had gorgeous carriages and servants carrying large and small bags of things.
There were also ordinary people who pulled their children to the door and gave earnest instructions.
Su Zhizhi, carrying her bag, couldn't wait to go in:
"Dad, Mom, I'm going in now. Don't worry about me. I'll be home in a few days."
"Okay, listen to the instructions of the coach and doctor at the martial arts school. Remember to stretch and loosen up your muscles before practicing." Wu Yingniang brushed away the loose hair on Zhizhi's forehead.
Hao Ren also reminded him: "Don't be afraid no matter what happens. Tell your family if anything happens. Abao will come to see you every day."
Su Zhizhi nodded rapidly and said that she had noted it all down.
There was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the martial arts hall, as if someone was arguing.
Murong Ming and a young master were standing at the door, with a group of servants behind them, confronting the people from the martial arts school.
The doorman said, "The chief priest said that no one except the students themselves is allowed to enter the martial arts hall today."
The servant beside Murong Ming said, "Look at how many things we have. Do we need the prince to carry them in personally?"
The concierge said: "The dormitories have been cleaned and tidied. You don't need to bring any bedding or food. Just a few changes of clothes."
"We use more than just a few changes of clothes on a daily basis."
The young man next to Murong Ming is He Wenhan, the grandson of He Tingfang and Murong Ming's cousin, only one year older than Murong Ming.
The He family has two grandsons, one named He Wenchang and the other named He Wenhan.
He Wenchang was an okay student, but He Wenhan was not good at studying, so he was thrown into the martial arts school to spend his days.
The doorman said the same thing: "The chief priest has ordered that no one except the students themselves is allowed to enter the martial arts hall."
In a carriage not far away, Madam He, Madam He Ershao's wife, and He Yan were sitting together. When they heard the servant's report, they all frowned in displeasure.
Madam He said, "Forget it. Pick out a few clothes and let Ming'er and Han'er take them in themselves. As for the rest, at most we can send someone to bring them over slowly in two days."
He Yan: "It's better to take less things, so that they won't make trouble inside again."
"I heard that the atmosphere in the martial arts academy is not very good. Han'er, don't learn bad things from others in the academy." The wife of the second young master He looked gloomy.
She looked at her son at the door of the martial arts school with concern, always feeling that her son was led astray by Murong Ming, otherwise he would not have been sent to the martial arts school.
Murong Ming and He Wenhan were in a stalemate at the door.
Zhou Jijiu came out and said coldly, "The martial arts academy has its own rules. If you can't follow them on the first day, you won't be able to step through this door!"
Although Murong Ming and He Wenhan were not convinced, they had to bow their heads, took the bundle handed to them by the servant, and carried it in themselves.
Not far away, Hao Ren watched this scene, then lowered his head and said to his daughter:
"If someone dares to bully you in the martial arts hall—"
Su Zhizhi gripped the small whip at her waist and replied viciously, "Then I'll let them know how dangerous the world is!"
Su Zhizhi learned this from the villagers, and it sounded very powerful.
Hao Ren: ...Well, you're worrying too much.
"Dad, please lower your head for a moment." Su Zhizhi stood on tiptoe.
Hao Ren bent down, and Su Zhizhi put her mouth close to Hao Ren's ear and whispered something.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!" Su Zhizhi trotted into the martial arts hall.
Seeing Hao Ren still stunned, Wu Yingniang jokingly said, "Are you also thinking about getting into the martial arts academy? It's a pity you're not as good as Zhizhi in this area."
Hao Ren came back to his senses, his face seemed to be a little touched, and he smiled lightly: "Let's go back. If we don't leave now, I really want to take the exam."
The couple left together.
The other side.
Su Zhizhi excitedly carried her luggage and walked to the entrance of the martial arts hall:
"Hello, Zhou Jijiu!"
Zhou Jijiu's face, which had been sullen just now, suddenly blossomed into a bright morning glory:
"Zhizhi is here, come in quickly, I'll have someone take you to put your luggage."
"Ah, you must be tired after coming from home. It's a bit far from Tongjifang. You should have some tea first..."
Su Zhizhi: "Master Zhou, I'm not tired or thirsty. My mother even bought me some soy milk on the way here."
Zhou Jijiu asked someone to take Su Zhizhi to the burial place.
Just as I was about to leave, someone called out from behind: "Su Zhizhi——"
Su Zhizhi turned around and saw a girl taller than her striding in from outside.
She had a neat ponytail, her skin wasn't very white, her nose was straight and peaked, and her smile was like a spring stream breaking through the ice. As she walked, a knife hanging from her waist swung with her.
Although Su Zhizhi had never seen her before, she could guess that this must be another female student, Yuan Caiwei.
Yuan Caiwei excitedly took Su Zhizhi's hand and said, "You are Su Zhizhi, right? Thanks to you, I was able to convince my father to let me come to the martial arts school."
Although Yuan Caiwei was born in a military family, her elders did not want her to learn martial arts. They hoped that she would be a good lady, get married and live a stable life in the future.
But Yuan Caiwei was not the type to be content.
She had wanted to come to the martial arts school before, but her family disagreed, saying that there was no other girl in the whole capital who would go to a martial arts school to learn martial arts.
As a result, the news that Su Zhizhi was admitted to the martial arts school spread everywhere, and Yuan Caiwei saw hope.
The corners of Su Zhizhi's mouth curved into a crescent moon: "It's all thanks to you, otherwise my father wouldn't want me to study alone in the martial arts academy."
Yuan Caiwei put her arm around Su Zhizhi's shoulders and held the knife at her waist with her other hand:
"Don't worry, my father has already told me that your mother is my father's junior sister, so you are my Yuan Caiwei's sister. No one here can bully you."
Yuan Caiwei knew nothing else but that her father had found her junior apprentice sister in Lingnan. Last night, her father had told her that she and Su Zhizhi should look after each other at the martial arts academy.
Su Zhizhi also pressed the whip on her waist and said proudly:
"If someone bullies you, I will protect you."
Yuan Caiwei blinked and laughed.
The two of them had just agreed to protect each other out of loyalty, but they didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei saw Murong Ming and He Wenhan standing in front, as if waiting for them.
When He Wenhan saw them coming, he raised his chin and said to Su Zhizhi:
"Hey, you, take our luggage to the living quarters!"
Yuan Caiwei's smile suddenly collapsed, and she explained in Su Zhizhi's ear that this was the grandson of the He family.
"Zhizhi, let's go and ignore them."
Murong Ming and He Wenhan originally wanted to teach Su Zhizhi a lesson.
Su Zhizhi, a girl from Lingnan, has been in the spotlight recently.
But they are just seen as good-for-nothings.
They all saw how enthusiastic Zhou Jijiu was towards Su Zhizhi just now.
They are obviously the princes and nobles, and Su Zhizhi is just a country girl. Can she surpass them by learning some kung fu?
Seeing that Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei were trying to bypass them, how could Murong Ming let them go?
"Stop! You've seen me, the prince, but you still don't come to pay your respects? Who gives you the courage?" Murong Ming blocked Su Zhizhi's way aggressively.
Su Zhizhi looked directly at Murong Ming, as if sizing up Murong Ming's face.
Even when Su Zhizhi wasn't smiling, she looked a bit intimidating:
"Zhou Jijiu once said that once you enter the martial arts academy, there is no distinction between ranks; everyone is a student. Why should I meet you?"
