Chapter 64: I want to travel the world with a sword
In the past, once a marriage was finalized, it was usually a lifelong event that lasted forever.
Unlike now, getting engaged is like child's play, and no one knows how long it will last. It may be for a while, or it may be for a second time. After three minutes of heat has passed, we will separate.
As a result, there are more and more divorces, and there is a lack of sense of responsibility.
Looking at the enthusiastic Matchmaker Li, Zhang Yutang smiled shyly: "Grandma Li, I'm still young and haven't fully developed yet. Let's wait a few years before talking about it."
"Mr. Zhang, I'm not telling you, you need to make good use of your good marriage. If you pass this village, there won't be this shop."
Matchmaker Li looked at the shy Zhang Yutang and said with a smile:
"The young lady I'm talking about is extremely wealthy and powerful. What's even more rare is that this young lady is well-educated, gentle and kind. Even in the whole Qiantang, it would be difficult to find another one."
"Is there really such a rare girl?"
Mrs. Zhang on the side was very excited when she heard:
"How does he look? Is he pretty?"
"When it comes to appearance, it's not for me to show you off to the old lady."
When Matchmaker Li saw Mrs. Zhang's interest, she immediately introduced her to Mrs. Zhang:
"There is a saying that goes well. One point more makes you fat, one point less makes you thinner. Eyebrows are like green feathers, muscles are like white snow, waist is like a bunch of silk, and teeth are like shells. That is like a fairy.
Only your noble son, who is a Wenqu star in the sky and has descended to earth, can be worthy of such a beautiful woman. If it were a second person, I would not say anything about it."
The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are the basis of marriage.
As long as Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yuanwai nodded in agreement, it didn't matter whether Zhang Yutang agreed or not, so seeing Mrs. Zhang's interest, Matchmaker Li quickly started to show off to Mrs. Zhang.
The daughter is said to be rare in heaven and rare on earth. She is simply an extremely beautiful woman who is rare to meet in millions of years. It means that a beautiful city and a country are beautiful, and a beautiful woman is rare to find again.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but wink at Zhang Yutang, hoping that he would not reject her in a hurry, but could just take a look and talk about it. If it was really suitable, she might as well settle on the engagement.
It would be such a happy thing if I could continue the family lineage of the old Zhang family as soon as possible and have a fat grandson in my arms as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Zhang Yutang pretended to be deaf and dumb, indifferent, as if he was far away from the world, not in the mortal world. Mrs. Zhang knew that her son had his own opinion, so she couldn't force it. She sighed secretly, but with a smile on her face,
He said to Matchmaker Li:
"Aunt Li, you go back first. The master and I will weigh this matter over and over again. If it's appropriate, how about I give you a reply then."
"This is a lifelong event, so naturally you have to think about it carefully. I'm waiting for your good news."
Matchmaker Li smiled:
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. The Sun family in Qiantang has asked me many times to find a matchmaker, and I happen to have a few good girls in my hands. Why not go to his place and see if there is anything that suits your wish."
"Aunt Li, walk slowly, Agui will go see Aunt Li off."
Zhang Yuanwai stood up and gave Matchmaker Li a greeting with a smile.
"Yes, sir!"
Agui took a handful of snowflake silver, walked up quickly, and whispered:
"Aunt Li, this is a little thought from the master and madam. I want you to buy some tea to moisten your throat and pay more attention to the young master."
Matchmaker Li looked at the white money and smiled:
"Zhang Yuanwai, Mrs. Zhang is really an outsider. She is a fellow villager. She proposed marriage to Mr. Zhang. I am so happy that it is too late. Why do you have the nerve to accept any money? Take it back quickly, take it back quickly."
As he said this, he took the silver from Agui very neatly, put it quickly into his pocket, and squeezed it with his hand:
"Two taels of silver, this man is really generous. If it was said that we were married, wouldn't the silver be more, more -"
Thinking of the more money she might get, Matchmaker Li became even more emotional and deliberately said loudly:
"Don't worry, the young master's affairs will be all taken care of by me. I promise to find a satisfactory young lady for the young master, so that they can work together and have a son as soon as possible."
…
After Matchmaker Li left, Mrs. Zhang looked at her son who was pretending to be stupid and said angrily:
"You bastard, why don't you get over here? The girl Matchmaker Li just mentioned is so good that I'm so moved. Why don't you stay calm at all? It's not because you have such a charming face that you can't hold other girls in your heart."
.”
"I can tell you that your old Zhang family is a single generation of nine generations. When you come here, you must spread the branches and have many children and grandchildren. If you only marry one, when will you be able to make the old Zhang family have hundreds of descendants?"
"A hundred sons and a thousand grandsons?"
Hearing Mrs. Zhang's grand wish, Zhang Yutang looked at her in surprise and couldn't close his mouth for a long time. After a while, he finally realized and said with a smile:
"Mom, are you going to find a wife for your son or me, or are you going to let me be a prostitute and keep sowing seeds every day to spread the branches and leaves of the old Zhang family?"
"You, old man, really don't like the number of people you have. Why don't you let me take in a few more concubines? I'll draw a birth-protection charm for the old man, which will guarantee that he will have hundreds of children and grandchildren."
"Yu'er, what you said makes sense." Zhang Yuanwai was very happy when he heard this. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is indeed a method. I am willing to bear this small penalty for the sake of the old Zhang family having more children."
"How dare you!"
Mrs. Zhang on the side raised her phoenix eyes, filled with murderous intent:
"No wonder, I've seen you look at our little Taohong in the wrong way these past few days. It turns out that you have already had an idea in your mind."
"Madam, you misunderstood!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly became anxious:
"Xiao Taohong and I really have nothing to do with each other. It's more real than gold. If you don't believe me, ask the servants in our house who has seen what happened to Xiao Taohong and me."
"It seems there is something fishy."
Mrs. Zhang’s face sank:
"You are not allowed to go to bed tonight and kneel on the washboard. When you know you are wrong, get up."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhang stood up quickly and walked out without caring about teaching Zhang Yutang.
"God!"
Zhang Yuanwai looked up to the sky and was speechless. He looked at Zhang Yutang who was still standing aside and shouted:
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, what are you standing here for? Do whatever you need to do."
"Hey, there's something wrong."
Zhang Yutang chuckled:
"Old man, now I have achieved fame and glory, but Mr. Ouyang once said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I am going to go out for a walk in a few days and see the world.
"
"What's so good about that, except that everyone is just human."
Zhang Yuanwai said angrily:
"Besides, we have them in Qiantang as well as other places. Tell us what you want, and daddy will buy it for you."
"I want to travel to the ends of the world with my sword and see the prosperity of the world."
Zhang Yutang is leisurely fascinated:
"It's difficult to raise a dragon in three feet of water. Qiantang is too small to accommodate me."
"Hey, have you thought about it? Do you have to go out?"
Looking at Zhang Yutang with a determined expression, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly felt a little lonely:
"When the child grows up, will he finally want to travel around the world?"
