Chapter 228
"Dad, you are back." Zhang Zhong ran out to greet Zhang Fu and complained: "Dad, you are not talking about you, you are also an older person. Do you always drink like this? My son will know that you have drunk a lot when you smell the alcohol on you."
Zhang Fu patted the dust on his body and said, "What's wrong? You need to take care of your affairs."
Zhang Zhong defended himself: "Dad, it's not that my son cares about you, it's that my son cares about you. Always drinking and drinking like this is not good for the body. This is what my father taught me."
Zhang Fu glared at Zhang Zhong and said, "You don't care. Dad is happy today, so he took a few more sips. Dad hasn't been so happy today for many years. You guys will talk after making a few sips. It's so unfilial."
Zhang Zhong hurriedly said, "It's not that what you mean, you care about your son's filial piety."
"Okay, okay, less good." Zhang Fu ordered: "Take people out right away and buy more things like bonuses, the more the better. You should hurry up and use them."
Zhang Zhongying asked strangely: "Dad, what do you want to do with money? Our family doesn't have wedding events, so what's the use of buying these?"
Zhang Fu explained: "It's prepared for your girl. Dad thinks that someone will come to match your girl tomorrow. If you don't prepare, your girl will be embarrassed."
"Girl?" Zhang Zhong absolutely did not believe that anyone would dare to marry Zhang Sun, who was famous for his husband. He was so surprised that his eyes almost fell off and said, "Who are you going to marry again?"
Zhang Sunwu married and his husband died, and no one dared to marry her. So he stayed at his parents' home and helped Zhang Fu plan to do business. Zhang Zhong thought that she would only be a widow in her life. I heard that someone would talk about the matchmaker. How could he not be surprised?
Zhang Fuji said, "What do you say? You can't blame your sister. Who told you that your sister is born rich and prosperous? Those people want to eat swan meat, so don't marry my baby daughter if you don't have that fate. This time, my father will prove that your sister will be happy in her life."
Zhang Zhong was indeed a little scared about Zhang Sunkfu. After all, he was a brother and sister. Zhang Zhong was naturally happy if the girl was happy. He asked curiously: "Dad, who do you want to marry?"
"Chen Ping!" Zhang Fu was very happy to praise his son-in-law who had not yet made a name for his horoscope and said, "Chen Ping is a character, and only he is worthy of my precious daughter!"
Zhang Zhong's eyes widened and said, "Chen Ping? Dad, is that the one who only knows how to study and does not make a living, and has no money to go to Guanzhong?
It was Chen Ping who gave him fifty taels of silver?" He didn't have much affection for scholars like Chen Ping, and he told all the embarrassing stories about Chen Ping in one breath.
Zhang Fu shouted, "Shut up, can you accumulate some virtue in your mouth? Who will not have any difficulties in life? What are temporary difficulties? Dad does business.
I dare not say that there is no problem with wealth at hand. Isn’t it a problem to have enough money? Are you talking like this? Are you talking or memorizing? There are only a few things that you have to tell, and you are disappointed."
Zhang Zhong raised his head and retorted: "Dad, if the girl marrys someone else, his son will have nothing to say, but who doesn't know that Chen Ping's family is poor? He is a scholar who is useless, and the girl marrys him. The son disagrees with whatever he says."
"Kneel down!" Zhang Fu shouted.
Although Zhang Zhong was unwilling to do so, he had to kneel down and said, "If you kneel down, I don't agree if you kneel down to death."
Zhang Fu stared at Zhang Zhong and shouted, "You are still stubborn. Do you know why Dad wants you to kneel down? Dad wants to tell you that people should not be too snobbish in life, don't just look at the front of you. People will change, but now they are poor. They may not be poor in the future.
Didn’t Dad tell you that the hero doesn’t ask where the source is?
"Although my father is a businessman, I have taught you to read books. Didn't you know that Baili Xi fenniu has been a long lifelong man, and it was used in Qin State in his later years, and it became a good story.
Ning Qi was just a cowherd, promoted to Duke Huan of Qi, and was famous in later generations. What a hero he was.
"Chen Ping is poor, but he is knowledgeable.
Now that the world is unified, it is time to remove the old and new. My father sees the emperor's actions to withdraw Mr. Zhou and other heroes in order to make the talents of the backwards have a level of advancement. With Chen Ping's talent, it is only a matter of time to use it in the world. Your vision is so short, just looking in front of you?"
Zhang Zhong knew that Zhang Fu was right, but he still said stubbornly: "So what? Even if he is Baili Xi, the girl doesn't have to suffer for the rest of her life."
"You rebellious son, you've angered your father to death." Zhang Fu pointed at Zhang Zhong and scolded: "Have you carefully studied what he did before Chen Ping went to Guanzhong?"
Zhang Zhong said without thinking, "Who doesn't know about his messy things?"
"You know, okay, let me ask you. Chen Ping is a poor scholar. Who is he dating?" Zhang Fu asked.
Zhang Zhong said unconvincedly: "Whoever he likes to date is in charge."
"Your eyes grow white on your head." Zhang Fu really wanted to slap him twice and said, "Dad tells you that before Chen Ping went to Guanzhong, Dad had observed him secretly, and the people he dated were elders and virtuous people.
Chen Ping lives in a shabby alley, but there are too many ruts in front of his house. These are the ruts of the elders. Five years have passed, and he is even more accustomed to Mr. Zhou’s disciple. “
Zhang Zhong said disdainfully: "What's wrong with being under Mr. Zhou's disciple? What's the point of being in the court with Mr. Zhou's blessing? Such a girl must never marry someone."
According to common sense, Zhang Fu would be even more angry when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fu laughed and pulled Zhang Zhong up, saying, "This is right, you have ambition! This is worthy of being my Zhang family's bloodline! If Chen Ping relied on Mr. Zhou's blessing, he would have been a member of the country. He has no fame yet, what does this mean? This means that he has to rely on himself to gain fame and fortune. Such a person is worthy of being a man! If your girl doesn't marry such a person, who else can she marry?"
Zhang Zhong was speechless and stood there in a daze. Zhang Fu continued, "You are still a little dissatisfied, right? Dad asked you, Chen Ping has been away from home for five years. As soon as he came back, his neighbors went to visit him and regarded him as a relative.
You try it, can you do it? Our Zhang family has money, you just use money to buy it. You give it to others. Three years later, there are so many people who remember your good things, even if they burn incense.
But Chen Ping's poor scholars can get such respect from his neighbors. What does this mean? Is he a person?"
Without that charm, even if you buy it with money, you may not be respected by others. Zhang Zhong agreed with this and said, "Dad, do you agree with it?"
Zhang Sun kept listening to the father and son talking, and was very worried. Zhang Zhong no longer objected to this, and said, "It depends on his father."
Zhang Zhong said: "Dad, my son is gone."
Zhang Fu shouted, "Slowly, go and exchange more money for your sister, and you also need to buy more dowry for your sister. You can't lose money to your sister."
Zhang Zhong asked curiously: "Dad, what are you doing with the silver?"
