Zhang Feng's words had undoubtedly hit the woman's sore spot.
However, Zhang Feng's eyes were sharp. Although the woman was dressed very plainly, her dress was very exquisite and she loved flowers. This was not something an ordinary family would do.
That was why Zhang Feng asked this question.
However, at this moment, the woman's expression suddenly changed, but she forced herself to be calm and said, "Why are you asking this? Does the young master have other matters? If not, then don't tease me. "
Seeing this, Zhang Feng was even more certain of his guess. He said indifferently, "Madam, don't be anxious. The matter of the flowers is easy to deal with. It was inconvenient to check in that filthy place outside, so I hope Madam won't blame me. I saw that there were many peonies among Madam's flowers. These flowers are not something an ordinary family can have. That's why I asked. If I have offended you, I hope Madam won't take offense."
Zhang Feng stared indifferently at the woman. After a moment, he added, "This one is willing to buy these flowers at a high price!"
As expected, after Zhang Feng said that he would buy them at a high price, a trace of excitement flashed through the woman's eyes. However, after a moment, it was hidden again.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng continued, "Madam, this one only has about a thousand strings of silver notes on me when I left the mountain this time. If Madam thinks it's okay, you can sell it to this one. If it's not enough, I'll ask the shopkeeper for a pen and ink and write an IOU. When the time comes, you can use this IOU to go to any branch of White Deer College in Chang 'an to exchange for the money you need!"
"What kind of person does Prince Zhang think I am?"
The madam couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment.
In an instant, an aura that only belonged to a superior suddenly bloomed from her body. However, who were Zhang Feng and the others?
This moment was enough.
Zhang Yuyao widened her eyes and stared curiously at the woman.
Even Jingshu couldn't help but look at the woman and secretly size her up.
The woman also felt a little regretful, but it was too late for regrets. She could only sigh helplessly and say, "Prince Zhang is indeed a genius. I admire your sharp eyes!"
"What you said is correct. My family was once a noble family. However, due to the destruction of the Chen Dynasty, we were also affected."
Chen Chao?
Zhang Feng's interest was immediately piqued. He hurriedly asked, "From what I've observed, Madam's speech is also extraordinary. Why would you sell flowers on the street?"
"Did something happen at home? If there's an emergency, I'll definitely help if I can … "
"There's no need to trouble Prince Zhang. I just want to ask Prince Zhang, is there a person named Xie Zong in your academy?"
Hearing this, Zhang Feng could not help but be stunned.
There were so many people on the mountain, how could he remember them all?
She could only ask, "I don't know about this for the time being. Madam, why don't you tell me this person's appearance, age, or some other title? I'll send someone up the mountain to look for him."
When the woman heard this, she said, "He is very proud of himself. Since ten years ago …"
"Pfft —!"
Three sounds of water sprayed out, interrupting the woman's words.
Zhang Feng could not help but ask in surprise, "Madam, are you saying that Mr. Zihuai is about seventy years old?"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes changed and she said, "Yes, he is. I heard about him before, so I moved my family from Jiangnan. However, after coming to Chang 'an, I couldn't find him anywhere. So … I just asked by chance. I wonder if Prince Zhang can introduce me to him?"
At this moment.
After that, he began to seriously observe the woman.
Especially when compared with the old Xiucai.
After all.
These two people were too similar.
He could not help but ask, "May I ask, what is the relationship between Madam and Mr. Zihuai? If you ask Xie Zong in Chang 'an, no one will know. However, if you ask the old Xiucai, you'll probably find him long ago! "
"The old Xiucai?"
The woman frowned slightly.
But seeing the meaning in Zhang Feng's words, it seemed that there was news about him. She hurriedly said, "He used to be the most talented person in the Xie family of Chen County. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, his talent was recognized by Emperor Wen of Sui and he was appointed as the Crown Prince's servant. However, because of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he disappeared in order not to bring disaster to the family."
"However, in the end, our Xie Clan was still affected. Even though we were not exterminated, we still fell apart. Xie Zong, the old Elementary Scholar that you spoke of, was from our bloodline. He is also my uncle …"
The woman poured out this piece of old history like pouring beans out of beans.
Those who listened and those who spoke were incomparably sad.
It was as if they were watching a drama of life.
When she finished, Zhang Feng was silent.
Although he was very curious about the old Xiucai's background, Zhang Feng could not help but feel pity for the old Xiucai when he heard this at this time.
This stubborn old man. If Li Yuan and the emperor really wanted to deal with you, do you think you can be safe hiding in Chang 'an City?
After so many years …
It was really …
Zhang Feng sighed deeply and said, "The old Xiucai is my teacher. Leave it to me. I'll send someone to invite him down the mountain. If he doesn't come, I'll tie him up and bring him here. How about it?"
"…"
