In Zhang Feng's shop. At this moment, Uncle He, Zhu Zi's father, and the best matchmaker in the city were all sitting together in his small tavern, looking at Zhang Feng meaningfully.
Zhang Feng's head was about to explode.
Three jugs of wine had already been served.
Several plates of dishes had been eaten.
He even saw the matchmaker kick a large plate of meat into her pocket.
However, they had been sitting there for four hours and still had no intention of leaving.
How could Zhang Feng not know their purpose for coming?
What could they do when the matchmaker was here?
Uncle He seemed to think that Zhang Feng's brain was too slow and could only wave his hand to stop him from wiping the counter that was about to be torn.
"Fengzi, come and sit down. The old Elementary Scholar will be here soon!"
Zhang Feng was a little afraid of the old Elementary Scholar.
There was no other reason than that mouth of hers. He couldn't stand it!
"Why would the old Elementary Scholar come here for no reason?"
Zhang Feng continued to play dumb, but he also knew that he could not avoid it. He helplessly hung his head and sat on the table.
At this moment, the matchmaker stared at Zhang Feng and clicked her tongue. Her mouth was like a cricket's and Zhang Feng almost slapped her.
After looking at him for a long time, the matchmaker finally nodded and seemed satisfied.
After a while, the old Elementary Scholar strode into the small tavern and pushed Zhang Feng away with a slap. He sat on Zhang Feng's stool and poured himself a bowl of wine.
After drinking a bowl of food happily, he said, "I went to see that family. They accepted the gift and I also met their daughter. She is very beautiful and can give birth to a son!"
"Wait!"
Zhang Feng exploded.
He hurriedly asked, "Old Elementary Scholar, you want to get married? Which family's daughter is blind … No, I mean, she has such a good eye for a gentleman and likes you? “
The old Elementary Scholar's face immediately darkened.
He glared at Zhang Feng but did not argue.
"Old Man is thinking for you!"
"Originally, Old Man thought that by finding a marriage for you, he could get a free drink in the future. Now it seems that this is what Zhang Feng thinks of the Old Man?"
"No no no!"
"How can that be!? You're an old man of great talent and wealth. I'm afraid I can't even catch up to you! "
Zhang Feng felt a headache coming on!
Old Man continued to flatter the old scholar, but the old scholar didn't seem to hear him. He talked to the matchmaker in a low voice for a while, then slowly took out a jade pendant from his chest and sighed, "This jade pendant was originally prepared by Old Man's mother for my future wife, but I'm all alone now and I'm afraid there's no hope. So I'll leave it to you, brat!"
"Take it as a congratulatory gift from Old Man! Don't refuse! This piece of jade is rumored to be an antique from the Qin Dynasty! "
The old scholar's heart ached.
Zhang Feng had a headache.
Damn it, did they ask for my permission?
Lao Tzu hadn't even met that girl, and they already arranged this?
F * ck!
Uncle could tolerate this, but Lao Tzu couldn't!
"Old Man, wait!"
Zhang Feng hurriedly snatched the jade pendant from the matchmaker's hand and put it away.
"I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words …"
"I've done my research. Your family members are all gone in the flood and landslide. That means that you're the only heir of the Zhang family! Then, this is easy. Since you don't have parents, and we respect you so much, then we'll consider ourselves your elders and help you! "
"Matchmaker? This is the best matchmaker we've found in Chang 'an! When Old Woman Wang heard that she was going to be a matchmaker for you, she didn't even ask for the money! "
"That's right! Brother Zhang! To be a matchmaker for such a kind person like you is a blessing that I, Old Woman Wang, have cultivated for eight lifetimes! Don't think too much about it. I'm quite famous in Chang 'an City, so don't worry about this marriage. Since the girl's family has agreed to it, it'll definitely happen! "
Success my ass!
Lao Tzu had agreed to it a few moments ago.
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes.
"Uncle He, Father Zhuzi, Old Man Wang, Old Man Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I've promised my family and my master that if I don't make a name for myself, or if I don't meet someone I truly like, I, Zhang Feng, would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than bring shame to my family's name or bring shame to my master's reputation!"
"This …"
The old scholar was shocked.
However, at this moment, Zhang Feng took out a jade pendant that he had gotten from Prince Zhenla. That was a supreme-grade purple jade!
It was so dazzling that it hurt everyone's eyes.
The purple jade was engraved with a hollowed-out pattern of a phoenix seeking a phoenix. A string of gold particles was attached to the pendant, which made the jade pendant look very magical.
Zhang Feng sighed and said, "This is the treasure that my master bestowed upon me. Do you believe me now?"
The old scholar was in a dilemma.
He had forgotten about Zhang Feng's mysterious master.
If it wasn't for his guidance, how could Zhang Feng have such achievements in literature at the age of twenty?
Whether it was the wine, dishes, food, or even the fine salt, all of them were easy to handle. Since his master had spoken, what could they do?
In the end, they fiddled with it in a low voice, shook their heads, and sighed before leaving.
However, when they reached the door, the old scholar's face darkened and he reached out to take back his jade pendant.
Just when Zhang Feng thought that this matter was over, the old scholar hurriedly asked, "What's your master's name?"
"…"
