"My dear nephew, I heard that you are good at calligraphy and painting. Why don't you give me some of the paintings that you are proud of, so that I can take them back to educate the unimproved children at home." Master Zhu said.
The young master smiled slightly: "Sir Zhu is really good at joking. Who doesn't know that both of the sons and daughters of Mr. Zhu's family are talented and beautiful. I heard that my brother Zhu has achieved fame, and I'm afraid he will also be awarded an official title in the near future. Since the master has so much respect for my nephew
If you are interested in the crude calligraphy and rough painting, I will pick up two of them and give them to you, your lord."
"Thank you." Mr. Zhu looked at the young master's leaving figure, stroked his beard and smiled.
Mr. Chu is such a shrewd person. He could tell from Master Zhu's eyes alone: "Master Zhu is here to see me. I'm afraid he's not just here to reminisce about old times."
Mr. Zhu laughed and said: "Of course there are other things to do. There is a daughter in the family who is already eighteen years old, about the same age as the son. Lao Chu, we don't talk to each other, so I just want to get married to you.
! Fortune tellers all say that next year is the year of lucky stars. If you can get married next year, your husband and wife will be harmonious and your family will be full of children and grandchildren!"
When Mr. Chu heard this, he thought, oh, this high-ranking Mr. Zhu didn’t even use the official language. He called him brother-in-law because he wanted his son to be his son-in-law!
He thought about it for a while, thinking that it wouldn't be a bad thing if an official and a businessman could become in-laws. Some business matters would be easier to take care of, which would open up another way to make money.
However, my son has been very disgusted with blind dates recently. If he spoke frankly, it might be counterproductive. He had to think of a careful idea.
"Sir, they young people have a lot of ideas now. Ling Qianjin is also a temperamental person. If we parents decide that they don't like it, I'm afraid it will spoil the big thing. I think it's better to arrange for them to meet in advance.
On the one hand, if two people are attracted by each other, then they should choose a good day to talk about the engagement. What do you think?" Mr. Chu said.
Mr. Zhu said: "Everyone says that businessmen have a smart mind. What you said today is indeed true. This is very good!"
…
The next day, Mr. Chu made an appointment with an important guest at Taibai Tower. He was ill and asked Chu Ao to meet the guest on his behalf.
Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked Chu Ao to dress appropriately.
Ruyi has always been clamoring to try the food at Taibailou. Everyone who has been there has praised the food there, and I think it must taste great.
Hearing that the young master was going to Taibai Tower, Ruyi asked if he could take him with him.
The young master didn't know who the distinguished guest was, and thought he was just an ordinary businessman. He thought it would be okay to take this foster sister with him, so he took Ruyi and Bai Qinghan with him.
On the other side, Miss Zhu's family was extremely reluctant. She had never met the young master of Chu's family, but eight of her ten sisters were extremely enamored with him. Miss Zhu's was afraid that she would refuse the date if she followed her father's orders.
Girls' face.
Master Zhu didn't care about that, scolded her with a stern look, and asked two maids to help her change clothes and put on makeup. She was dressed up beautifully and sent to Taibai Tower.
Miss Zhu's family arrived early and was waiting there bored. She thought to herself, it would be good to meet him. At least he could help the sisters to check out the situation. In case this Young Master Chu was not as good as the outside world said, he could also inform them.
One sound.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Zhu?" A clear voice sounded, and under the guidance of the waiter, three guests entered the private room.
The young man walking at the front was smiling, with soft ripples on his eyebrows. His eyes were as curved as the crescent moon in the night sky, and his lips were curled up like a string of red in early spring. He was dressed in pure white, which made his appearance even more impressive.
