Chen Jianfang was also shocked.
But this person has one good thing: he never shows his emotions on his face. To put it nicely, he never reveals his emotions on his face.
To put it simply, this person's facial features and emotions are separate and they have been separated for a long time.
Therefore, when Xianjin saw Chen Jianfang raised his eyebrows, he naturally reached out and patted Zhang Wenbo on the back, "I should have said it in advance. It is really rude of our Chen family to leave the two elders alone in the official post."
The attitude is very intimate.
Zhang Wenbo shivered all over, and his back felt like it was branded by iron.
After listening to Chen Jianfang's subsequent words, Zhang Wenbo couldn't help but widen his eyes and leaned on the bar excitedly, "Did you agree? Did you agree?"
These two are peers, so they were so excited that they addressed each other respectfully.
Chen Jianfang raised his lips and smiled, "What did I promise?"
Boer chuckled and scratched his head while laughing.
Xianjin put down the account book, reached out and patted Bo'er on the shoulder, "Go back quickly, Mr. Shang of the Chengdong Printing Workshop is a good person, and his son is a scholar, and he has a good relationship with the Chen family."
What does it mean?
Bo'er was stunned, his mind racing, he didn't know where the road had forked, "Don't panic! Although I'm not a scholar now, I will always be a scholar! I know Boss Shang's son! Although he is taller, stronger, and more angular than me, but he...he...he..."
After talking to him for a long time, Boer finally managed to say, "But he's not as white as me!"
Xianjin:…
Suddenly I have the urge to ask Boss Shang’s son to come out and see him!
Tall, strong and angular!
Chen Jianfang was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "A matchmaker is needed to arrange a marriage. If the Zhang family has relatives in Jing County, ask her to act as a matchmaker; if not, ask Mr. Shang's wife to act as a matchmaker."
Zhang Wenbo finally understood what he meant and quickly said, "Yes, yes! My parents specially brought one from Huai'an Prefecture, oh no, they brought a lady from a Juren (a scholar) with them!"
In the Wei Dynasty, when a marriage was to be arranged, there had to be a matchmaker, otherwise the elopement would be made a concubine. Most ordinary people could hire a matchmaker by paying money, but for wealthy families like the Chen and Zhang families, they would usually ask married women of equal or higher status to act as matchmakers, which was considered respectable.
Xianjin was beyond his expectations that the Zhang family could find a lady from a different province to come all the way to act as a matchmaker.
Xianjin was very satisfied with the Zhang family's sincerity. Seeing Chen Jianfang still looking calm and composed, he nodded silently in his heart - the Star of Hope is different! It's stable!
Chen Jianfang was no less shocked than Xianjin.
The Zhang family... indeed came with full sincerity!
Except bring money!
And they kidnapped someone!
It would be hard for anyone not to be happy when their daughter is valued by others!
Chen Jianfang finally smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "Go back and talk to my parents first! Tell them everything about our family and Zuo Niang! I will be at home taking a day off the day after tomorrow. If you want to send someone over, let me know in advance. I will call my seventh great-uncle and Zuo Niang's parents over."
This is no different from agreeing!
Chen Jianfang always spoke in a roundabout way, and it was not easy for him to be so straightforward.
Zhang Wenbo was surprised and happy, and trotted back to make arrangements in a daze.
Chen Jianfang looked at the fair-skinned boy's back as he stumbled out, and couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head as he laughed, "Youthful Ai..."
You sound like you're about to retire.
Xianjin complained in his heart and handed over a cup of cold tea, "… Two days ago, I prepared the ten six-foot-long paper and five-knife-sprinkled gold-peach-blossom coral paper to be sent to Prefect Xiong's residence. I specially pressed Chen's small seal on the edge of the six-foot-long paper."
When you do favors for others, you should also give your share as well.
Chen Jianfang took the teacup and took a sip. He frowned slightly, reached out and picked up the copper teapot to pour hot water into Xianjin and his own teacup, "… no matter how hot it is, you can't let it cool down."
Chen Jianfang said again, "I will personally deliver Liuzhang Xuan and Shanhu Jian to Cui Heng as soon as possible."
Chen Jianfang knocked with his hand and said, "It depends on whether the Zhang family will come."
Xianjin glanced at the warm tea in front of him, pursed his lips, and gently pushed the teacup away.
…
The Zhang family is coming. He is coming. He is coming with silver bills.
After Xian Jin Gang finished his breakfast, he heard the doorman come to report that four or five people had come to the Zhang family.
Xianjin wanted to stay, but the shop on Shuixi Street was just about to be completed. If he wanted to open for business as scheduled before September, he would have to work frantically in the next few days.
Xianjin, with deep reluctance and regret for not being able to see the excitement, threw himself into the plan of making money.
When it was dark and the stars were rising, Xianjin finished his overtime work and returned to the old house. He saw oil lamps lit in all four corners of the main hall. Mother Zhang was standing in the corridor with her hands hanging down, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes submissive. When she saw Xianjin coming, she immediately poked her head in and quickly pulled Xianjin aside, "Don't go in yet!"
"What's the matter?"
Xianjin was confused, glanced at the brightly lit main hall, and lowered his voice, "But the Zhang family proposed marriage..."
Could it be that Bo'er didn't mention getting married?
Mother Zhang quickly shook her head, "Yes, they have proposed! They have invited a lady from a juren dynasty and a matchmaker. The new son-in-law's mother came in person and brought many boxes of gifts. They have taken the step of accepting marriage proposal."
Why is that?
"It's the seventh great uncle..."
Mother Zhang is a little embarrassed to speak
Xianjin frowned.
How come this old thing is not a thing anymore?
"I don't know where my seventh uncle heard that the Zhang family was very wealthy, so he insisted on letting the Zhang family split up two stores in Huai'an Prefecture, saying that they would be registered under Zuo Niang's name. In fact, he wanted to open Chen's in Huai'an Prefecture..."
This is fucking..
The level of shamelessness is similar to that of Cui Heng's mother asking for an increase in the dowry!
