Chapter 006 Longevity Noodles Have a Root
"Jingshu, do you know why Mr. Zhang came to the mansion a few days ago?" Gao Chengyuan was behind his back. He was born as a literati and had been a person who participated in the palace examination. He was personally awarded a ranking by the emperor. Therefore, he had a unique elegant temperament of a literati. In addition, he was immersed in the official ritual for many years, so even if he just stood there casually, he had a momentum of being arrogant without anger.
"I don't know!" Gao Jingshu said.
"The nephew of Shaoyang is about to turn 18 years old. My father and Mr. Zhang have always had a good relationship. He is just such a son. Although he is a little unruly, he is a handsome talent. Mr. Zhang comes to our house to discuss the marriage between our two families..." When Gao Chengyuan said this, Gao Jingshu beside him shook slightly, but she was quickly suppressed by her.
Gao Chengyuan didn't notice it, and then said: "Although the Zhang family is not an official, they have a wealthy family. Moreover, after the Zhang family was the leader, they were considered a good match with our Gao family. I discussed it with your mother and thought that this marriage would be successful, but it was a big event in your life, so I want to listen to your opinions."
Gao Jingshu had no intention of enjoying the snow. She lowered her head and looked at the empty yard under the attic. The sound was not loud, but neither humble nor arrogant. She just had a firm meaning: "I don't want to!"
Gao Chengyuan knew his daughter's personality and had been stubborn since childhood. He said that she was too strong like a wild girl, so she learned red makeup and embroidery and became a lady in the eyes of the world. He said that a woman had no talent and virtue. She insisted on picking up the Book of Songs of the Saint and seeing that she was full of knowledge. Now that she wanted to marry a playboy she looked down upon the most, Gao Chengyuan knew the answer.
"Daughter"
"Dad, don't say anything. If you feel embarrassed and can't put your face down in front of Uncle Gao, then you can tell Uncle Gao that I can marry his son. If his son can be the top scorer next year, I will marry him." Gao Jingshu thought about it, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Forget it, the top scorer is too embarrassing him. If he wins one of the top three, I will marry him."
After all, Gao Chengyuan held back what he wanted to say, sighed, and then left. Gao Jingshu stood in the attic for a long time, and only reacted until half of her body was frozen, sighed softly, turned around and walked into the boudoir.
Tomorrow, on the first day of November, Zhang Shaoyang is a top priority more important than the New Year. He started walking around the streets early in the morning. When he met a beautiful girl, he went up to invite someone to visit the mansion. Most of these girls said coquettishly with blushing faces, then covered her face and ran away.
Zhang Shaoyang, who was notorious, was disappointed for a moment, and had no choice but to go to find his friends. The little buck teeth following behind him were anxious and were worried about 10,000 pounds of thoughts. He was afraid of being beaten. After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth, but he said he was unhappy and said he was as squeezing as a woman. "Young Master, before you go out, the master told me that there will be no longevity peaches, no chickens, ducks, fish and meat tomorrow. If you want it, you will have a few shaves. Ask you if you want it?"
Zhang Shaoyang paused, then used his fingers to clean his ears and said loudly: "What did you say?"
How dare I say anything about the little buck teeth? I squinted my eyes and pretended to smile, revealing my two buck teeth.
"No, I have to go home to find my father to theory!" Zhang Shaoyang turned back home, with great momentum.
In the lobby of Gao Mansion, Zhang Qingyuan was authentically sipping morning tea, but Zhang Shaoyang looked gloomy and rushed in excitedly. However, this posture only lasted for a moment, and suddenly it turned into a full face of spring. He grabbed Zhang Qingyuan and pinched his waist and pounded his legs, which was even more appropriate than the maids in the mansion.
Zhang Qingyuan didn't even look at this son, but just drank his own tea.
"Dad, you know something big tomorrow!" Zhang Shaoyang smiled all over his face.
"I know, Mr. Wang said he wanted to invite me to discuss business." Zhang Qingyuan continued to taste tea slowly.
"No, Dad will be the baby's birthday tomorrow."
"Your birthday? Unfortunately, my father still thinks that making money is important, otherwise how could you lose money?" Zhang Qingyuan said angrily.
Zhang Shaoyang's face was not blushing, and he continued to act like a tantrum: "Dad, you saw that you were planning for me a few days ago? The thunder and rain were so loud that it was not in line with your identity."
"I'm thinking of waiting for you to celebrate your birthday quickly, so that I can get out of here so as not to sway in front of me, but this morning I thought about it again, why are you wasting this money on you? I'm so full?" Zhang Qingyuan cursed. Although he was a businessman, Zhang Qingyuan's temperament was completely different. His face looked like a warrior who drew his sword when he was disagreeing.
"Dad, did the child do something that makes you unhappy? You said, I will change it in the future." Zhang Shaoyang looked sincere and almost wiped his tears.
Zhang Qingyuan sneered: "There are so many things that make me unhappy. Why don't we both pull a stool and take a day together?"
Zhang Shaoyang smiled and didn't answer, and the speed of pounding his legs in his hands was getting faster.
"I will be eighteen years old tomorrow, but I can marry a wife and pass on my family. Do you have any fondness for any girl? Let me tell you about it?" Zhang Qingyuan closed his eyes, as if he was very happy about this rare attentiveness.
"There are so many." Zhang Shaoyang thought seriously.
"A few more" Zhang Qingyuan slapped her. After enduring it for so long, the sudden burst of slap actually directly slapped Zhang Shaoyang on the back of his head, which made Zhang Shaoyang grin in pain.
Perhaps because he felt that he was too heavy to start, Zhang Qingyuan's tone also softened a lot, and he said slowly: "What do you think of Jingshu's niece?"
"Ah" Zhang Shaoyang's eyes lit up: "It's great."
"It's great, it's great, but unfortunately, people don't like you, and they're afraid of trashing me. Guess what, you say you can only save yourself from the top three, and she promised to marry you." Zhang Qingyuan's face was gloomy, no longer as angry as before, but in Zhang Shaoyang's eyes, he became even more serious.
"At least, I didn't ask you to have a good face. I'm already very proud of your reading. How are you studying? How are you sure about the top three in the exams in the exams?" Seeing that Zhang Shaoyang didn't say anything, Zhang Qingyuan glanced at him and asked himself.
"Dad, I'm pretty sure, don't you know?" Zhang Shaoyang said in a low voice with a hint of bitterness.
Zhang Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped talking. He just put down the tea that was no longer hot in his hand, got up and walked out of the door. When he walked to the door, he finally said in a normal tone: "I can call your friends tomorrow. The longevity peach is gone. In this winter, I can get one from other places for no more than a few taels of silver, but there is one longevity noodles."
