Zhang Feng acted like a thief. Under the watchful eyes of all the bailiffs who were in charge of maintaining the order of the market, he carried a sheepskin package the size of a water tank and hurriedly ran back.
As he ran, Zhang Feng was like an idiot. His mouth was so wide that it stretched all the way to his ears.
Not because of anything else, but because he was carrying these three lumps of oak resin. He could not help but have a crazy idea in his mind.
If he could use these three lumps of resin to make rubber and then make them into tires …
That would be awesome!
This would be the real God of Showing off!
You can sit in a sedan chair, you can ride a horse. Sure, Lao Tzu did not know how to ride a horse, but Lao Tzu knew how to ride a bicycle!
In this era, this toy could be considered as the only one that belonged to me, Zhang Feng, right?
As Zhang Feng thought of this, his smile became even more eccentric.
When he returned to the tavern, he saw that the door to the tavern had already been fixed. Du Gou and the others were nowhere to be seen. Only the old scholar, Granny Wang, Old He and the others were sitting in the tavern.
As for Gouzi and Zhuzi, they were like loyal guards. They had already hidden at the entrance of the alley. When they saw Zhang Feng return, they hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, you are finally back! You don't know, but my father and the others said that they had found a good date for you. Next month, you will marry that little woman from the Zhang family! "
？？？
Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.
"Zhuzi, how did you know about this?"
Zhuzi sniffled and looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously. "Brother Feng, you really don't know?"
Zhang Feng's head shook like a rattle drum.
Gouzi and Zhuzi were a little convinced.
"Brother Feng, it's like this. Didn't you break into the brothel last night?"
"Although it's not known to those gossipy women in the market yet, it's only a matter of time before they find out. Therefore, Granny Wang found the old scholar and my father and planned to come to you today to get your birth date and horoscope. Then, I'll give it to you …"
"Wait!"
"How did your father and the others find out?"
"Also, when Lao Tzu went to the brothel, that was … that was to make friends with poetry. Do you understand?"
Zhang Feng argued.
But what was he supposed to say to these little kids?
Annoyed, he put down the tree trunk in his arms and threw it to the two of them. "Hide this well for me! I have great use for it! Don't let anyone know, and don't open it. Do you understand? "
Seeing that Zhang Feng was so serious, Gouzi and Zhu Zi patted their chests loudly.
Only then did Zhang Feng put his hands behind his back, turned a corner with a frown, and entered the tavern with his head lowered.
As soon as they entered the tavern, Zhang Feng was pulled back by Granny Wang.
"Yo! Brother Zhang! You're back? "
"Come, come, come, have a seat! I'm here today for nothing else. I'm just thinking that there are a few good hours next month. Why don't we settle this matter and get married next month? "
Zhang Feng was speechless.
The date hasn't even been set yet, and you're already thinking about it for me?
Auntie, who are you?
Although he was already cursing in his heart, Zhang Feng still put on a fake smile and said, "Granny Wang, please have a seat first. We're not in a hurry about this matter! Didn't I say it before? My master once said that I can only get married after I enter the imperial court. Although our parents are no longer around, it won't be too late to talk about it after I ask my master. Don't you think so? "
"This matter …"
The old scholar said with a serious face, "If it was before, this matter would be easy to deal with. But you did such a ridiculous thing yesterday, and now even the Zhang family is asking about it. You tell me, people need face, and trees need bark. All the neighbors know about the matter between you and the Zhang family. Now that you … where will the Zhang family put their face?"
"Also, have you thought about it? If a woman is rejected by her husband's family, then her life is ruined. Think about it carefully! Do you want reputation or something else? You said you want to ask your master. Fine, this old scholar will ask you. What is your master's name? Where does he live? "
"The Old Man wants to ask him personally. Does he not want his disciple to get married and bring honor to the family?"
"This Old Man has never met such a master in his life. The Old Man wants to ask him if he has ever learned what filial piety is!"
The old scholar was angry.
Zhang Feng was speechless.
His master was a figure made up out of thin air. How could he say that?
He couldn't say that his master was Confucius, could he?
The old scholar would definitely beat him to death if he said that!
"Old Scholar, don't be anxious! My master doesn't have a fixed residence. Since the beginning of this year, he has been preparing to travel overseas. I don't know where he is now, but he said that at the end of the year, he will come back to spend the New Year with me and teach me some knowledge about overseas … "
Zhang Feng could only go against his conscience and make up another lie.
But this time, they seemed to have learned their lesson. They ignored Zhang Feng's lies and followed the old scholar's words. First, they gave him the date of birth. He knew a good fortune teller who could secretly give him the date of birth. Then, they would talk about what to do next. At the very least, they had to settle the marriage first!
Without any other choice, Zhang Feng could only write down his date of birth.
Of course, the date and month were correct. But for the year, he could only push back the date by twenty years …
At this point, everyone finally left leisurely.
Zhang Feng's body was like a deflated balloon. He looked at the door unfocused and muttered, "This won't do. I have to find a chance to meet this so-called Zhang Yuyao. This matter, why does it seem more and more like a trap to Lao Tzu?"
At this point.
Zhang Feng suddenly slapped his head.
"Damn! I've been tricked! : "
"That damned Chen Tieniu. You let me see you. Damn it! You want to get me drunk and then bring me to the brothel? "
"Damn it! What kind of brother is this? "
"Ao Ri!"
