"I heard that the girl is really good. She has three obediences and four virtues. She knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think you are a good match for Zheng. You can ask her out someday to get to know each other. Dad is not an old man. People nowadays like to flirt with each other. No.
If you like the matchmaker's words, it's your parents' order. But don't miss this girl." Mr. Zhang said again and again.
Mr. Zhang lowered his head and said nothing, fearing that his happy event might have turned into a bad thing...
"What are you doing? Are you interested? Tell me what happy event you have. Tell dad about it and let's have fun together as father and son." Mr. Zhang said.
"My big event is also related to getting married. I like a girl who seems ordinary but has great qualities. I want to get married with her." Mr. Zhang said.
"Whose lady is it?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"She's not the daughter of a wealthy family, nor is she a little girl. My father also knows her. She is a mute girl who used to be a maid in our family. She is now working as a painter in Haitang Dyeing House. She is the one I want to marry because she is suitable for me." Mr. Zhang said calmly.
.
He is ready for his father's storm...
"That maid..." After hearing this, Master Zhang choked on the wine in his mouth. He coughed for a long time and his face turned red from holding it in before he recovered.
He looked at Mr. Zhang, his son’s head was so confused today!
"Did I hear that right?" Mr. Zhang's face had drooped. The drunkenness and poetry disappeared in an instant, leaving only a cold face.
"You heard that right," Mr. Zhang said.
"If you marry her, you will bring shame to the whole city! Everyone will know that my son is marrying his father's beauty!" Mr. Zhang slapped the table!
Fortunately, it was a stone table. If it had been made of wood, he might have broken it with just one slap.
"She is not what you think, you don't understand her." Mr. Zhang was still calm.
He knows very well that no matter what price he pays, he must strive to be with the mute girl, no matter what.
"I don't care what she is like, in short, this won't work! There is no room for negotiation!" Mr. Zhang stood up decisively.
The face is flushed, half of it smells of alcohol, and most of it is sulking!
"Dad, you have married so many girls, including **** girls, why can't I marry a girl I like?" Mr. Zhang said.
"You can just play for fun. How can such a woman be worthy of entering the Zhang family and becoming the future head of the Zhang family? I only have a son of yours. You must find a decent one for me. Go see me tomorrow and I will find one for you.
My girl! Choose a day to get married!" Mr. Zhang was very serious.
Leave him with a back view...
"I will not marry anyone except a mute girl! Never!" Mr. Zhang shouted to his back with certainty.
"Rebellious son! Then you are not my son! From today on, you should leave the Zhang family forever! Come back after you have figured it out! Otherwise, I will treat you as if I don't have a son!" Mr. Zhang still did not look back.
"Then I thank you for your kindness in raising me! You can come to me if you think about it!" Mr. Zhang said and left the house through the back door without anything.
But he felt at ease.
This result was also within his expectation.
After leaving Zhang Mansion, Mr. Zhang came to Haitang Guild Hall.
Begonia happens to be here.
Judging from his expression, Haitang had already guessed that the negotiation with her father would not go smoothly.
"Haitang, I'm afraid I will have to settle down in the guild hall from now on..." Mr. Zhang said with some frustration.
"I have prepared a bed for you, as well as quilts, cabinets, calligraphy and paintings, and new clothes. The clothes were made by a mute girl," Haitang said.
