"What's the matter?" Li Zhang said in disbelief when he heard Lu Wu's words. He was wondering if he had heard it wrong?

"Blind date, you are not young anymore. It's time to find a companion!" Lu Wu said again. Judging from his tone, it seemed that it was very normal for twelve-year-old Li Zhang to go on a blind date.

"I... I'm still a child. Uncle Wu, are you sure you're not wrong?" Li Zhang shouted with a heartache. Although he has the soul of an adult, he is indeed a child on the outside. Moreover, during this period, he has gradually adapted to the identity of a child and has never thought about getting married. Even if he was in his previous life, he was a bachelor.

"What kind of child? Twelve is not young anymore. Many people Twelve are fathers!" Lu Wu said without saying anything, and at the same time he kept his feet, and he didn't know where to pull Li Zhang.

After hearing Lu Wu's words, Li Zhang completely gave up. He had a generation gap with the other party for more than a thousand years and could not communicate on marriage. Of course, what Lu Wu said was the truth. Some people gave birth to children as parents at the age of twelve, but this kind of thing was relatively rare even in the Song Dynasty. Generally, Song people got married only in the fifteenth and sixteenth.

Lu Wu pulled Li Zhang across Wuqi Street, then turned left and right through alleys. Finally, Li Zhang couldn't help asking again: "Uncle Wu, where are we going? Why do you suddenly want me to go on a blind date?"

"It's coming soon. It's not that I want you to go on a blind date, but that I discussed it with your father and decided to book a marriage for you earlier. Only when a man becomes a kin can his heart be settled!" Lu Wu finally glanced at Li Zhang meaningfully and said.

"Then why don't you get married? Uncle Wu, your heart has not settled yet?" Li Zhang asked immediately.

"Boy, I'm different from you. Don't talk so much nonsense. There is someone who is going to date blindly today. Your father has already discussed with them inside. You will be better afterwards!" Lu Wu said a little angry when he heard Li Zhang's words. Then he ignored Li Zhang and pulled him to the door of a quiet small yard. There was a tall mulberry tree in the yard, and the lush branches and leaves almost covered the entire yard.

Lu Wu pulled Li Zhang to the door, then knocked gently. Then a thin black and thin middle-aged woman opened the door. When she saw Lu Wu, she immediately invited them in and looked at Li Zhang. Li Zhang was also looking at each other, saying that her daughter looked like a mother. If the daughter of the woman in front of her was the daughter of the woman, then he was really disappointed with this blind date.

The yard is not big, with three main rooms and one side room in total. Li Zhang was pulled into the main hall by Lu Wu and saw Li Yonghe sitting there at a glance. When he saw the owner of the house, he suddenly stunned and shouted: "Why are you?"

The old man on the main seat was stunned when he saw Li Zhang, and then smiled in surprise: "It seems that we are really destined to be. I didn't expect that you will be the one who will go on a blind date today!"

Although this old man Li Zhang only met once, he was deeply impressed because he was the old scholar who wrote letters when he went to Wuqi Temple to ask about his words that day. At that time, the other party pulled him and insisted on telling him "Nine-folded seal scripts". However, Li Zhang ran away without looking back. He never expected that the person he was going to go on a blind date was him?

"You know each other?" Lu Wu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Li Zhang and the old man's performance.

"It's not a question, but he went to my place to ask for a question, and he had a chance to meet him." The old man looked at Li Zhang and smiled, and Li Zhang was also a little embarrassed at this time. At that time, he never expected to meet the other party for one day, and under such circumstances.

"This is called fate. Master Zhou, look at my son. Not only is he energetic, but he also opened a shop by himself. In this way, the son-in-law can't be found even with a lantern!" Li Yonghe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed at Li Zhang and praised.

Only then did Li Zhang realize that the old scholar was surnamed Zhou, and Master Zhou also invited them to sit down. Then a little girl about the same age as Li Zhang brought them tea and looked at Li Zhang secretly. She was probably Master Zhou's daughter, and she looked quite handsome. Even though she was thin, she couldn't tell the front and back. Li Zhang was not luoli, so she naturally had no interest in such a little girl.

"Master Zhou, if you think it's appropriate, why don't we get the wedding done!" Li Yonghe said again, which made Li Zhang frown. He didn't want to get engaged at first, and he always felt that Li Yonghe's attitude was a bit strange. Even if it was a blind date, he had never seen someone who was so anxious to get engaged?

"This child asked me a word last time, and I heard from him that he had also studied. He was a good child, but the little girl was young, so was it a little too early to get engaged now?" Master Zhou said hesitantly while stroking his beard.

"Master Zhou, my nephew is not an ordinary person. He can start from scratch at a young age. You should have heard of his Li Ji braised pork shop. It is really a prosperous business. If your daughter gets married, she will definitely have no worries about food and drink. And if you don't worry about the bride price, we will definitely satisfy you!" At this time, Lu Wu also spoke. He seemed to be like Li Yonghe, and was anxious to register Li Zhang's marriage.

"Lu Bantu, you also know that our family has been scholars for generations. I have three daughters, and both of them are married to scholars. I think Li Zhang is still young and now has a property to eat and drink. If he is willing to study with me now, it is not impossible to get engaged now!" Master Zhou finally said what he said in his heart and put forward a condition.

Although Master Zhou never reads any name for himself, and even falls to the point of writing letters to others to make a living, he has been noble all his life, and only scholars can get his eyes on him. He looks down on Li Zhang, a small businessman who is a low-key businessman. Fortunately, Li Zhang is young and smart, so he wants Li Zhang to abandon business and study.

"Okay, that's it. Boy, you can hand over the business matters to Douzi and the others in the future. I will prepare a bride price to get engaged tomorrow!" Lu Wu immediately agreed for Li Zhang, never asking whether Li Zhang agreed.

"Uncle Wu, I don't agree!" Li Zhang stood up and said at this time. This was the first time he had expressed his thoughts since he came here.

"What do you disagree? What kind of prospects can you achieve as a businessman? Didn't you say you wanted to find a gentleman to teach you? Now that Master Zhou is willing to teach, you can just follow me!" Lu Wu glared at this time.

Li Zhang could compromise on other things, but this matter was not possible. He patiently explained: "Uncle Wu, although the braised meat shop is pretty good now, Douzi and the others are too young and have insufficient abilities. If I let go, there will definitely be trouble. If the business of this shop is not good, then how can we live on in the future?"

When he said this, Li Zhang paused for a moment, and then said again: "Although studying is a good thing, I am willing to study, the imperial court only has a few hundred scholars every time. There are so many scholars in the world, and how many people can pass the exam and take such a small opportunity for the rest of their lives. I think it is better to go to business, at least to ensure that they don't have to worry about food and clothing!"

"You..." Lu Wu was not good at speaking, and was speechless by Li Zhang at this time. Li Yonghe hurriedly advised, "Dalang, you can't say that. Although the chance of passing the imperial examination is very small, studying is the right way after all. I don't know how many people want to study but cannot get it. Master Zhou's knowledge is also one by one. You can definitely learn something with him in the future!"

However, Li Zhang ignored Li Yonghe's words, but stood up and bowed to Master Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, I am a businessman. Even if I study in the future, I may not participate in the imperial examination. In addition, today's blind date is really hasty, and I am not ready. Why don't we all go back and think about it carefully. I wonder what you think?"

"Forget it, since you don't agree, then let's forget about this marriage!" Master Zhou also heard Li Zhang's implication and waved his hand in disappointment.

"Boy, you..." Lu Wu slapped the table in anger at this time, his face turned red, but he didn't know what to say?

"Uncle Wu, let's go back and say something!" Li Zhang smiled apologetically at Lu Wu at this time. Although he didn't know why Lu Wu was in a hurry to get married, he knew that Lu Wu would not harm him, but he didn't want to decide for the rest of his life so easily.

"Oh, then we'll say goodbye!" Lu Wu sighed when he heard Li Zhang's words, then turned around and left. He didn't wait for Li Zhang and his son. It seemed that he was really angry.

Li Zhang hurriedly followed Lu Wu, Li Yonghe kept apologizing to Master Zhou from behind, and even wanted to try harder to talk to him. At this time, Li Zhang also caught up with Lu Wu who was out of the door and immediately grabbed the other party and said, "Uncle Wu, don't be angry. Even if you are doing it for my own good, you can't have a big deal about marriage. And even if the marriage is settled today, if we don't get along after marriage, wouldn't it be even more annoying to quarrel every day?"

"You boy is right. Marriage is the order of your parents. The matchmaker's words. If she is disobedient after marriage, you will just beat her up. Why don't that much nonsense?" Lu Wu said angrily. His view on marriage was really simple and crude, of course this also conforms to the thinking of most people in this era.

"I marry my wife because I want to be with her and grow old together. I don't want to find someone to fight with me. In the future, I will definitely find a woman I like and also like my wife. If I can't find it, I would rather not marry her, so Uncle Wu, you don't have to worry about my marriage!" Li Zhang patiently persuaded him again. This is Lu Wu. If it were Li Yong and him, they wouldn't have to worry about this.
