I studied abroad in modern times
Chapter 84: Banquet
"Zheng Fa personally initiated"
Zheng Fa was sitting in his study room, looking at the envelope in his hand, hesitating for a moment before opening it.
He has not seen Gao Yuan since he came back from the Immortal Products Association.
Last night, Master Seven suddenly handed him a letter, saying that Gao Yuan had left it for him.
"When you read this letter, I will probably have already embarked on my way to study at Jingyang Academy. A smart person like you never expected that among the three of us, I would be the first to leave."
Zheng Fa was stunned. He didn't expect Gao Yuan to have left the Zhao family. He had also heard of Jingyang Academy. It was very famous but also far away.
"You once said that the young master is a good man. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I begged the young master, but I didn't expect that he not only asked for my body deed from the madam, but also asked Mr. Shen to write me a letter to Recommendation letter from the dean of the academy.”
Zheng Fa smiled and continued reading.
"I asked the young master to hide it from you."
"I don't want you and the young master to come back in the future. I have gray hair and you still have green hair. I also don't want to bend my knees, bend my spine, and speak like an immortal master to the person I regard as a close friend today. In fact, I was willing, and I don’t know why, but I don’t want to do it after I get to know you.”
"I have thought that among the three of us, I am probably the most unbearable one. The young master has a pure nature and your heart is like a mirror, but I have been working hard and obsessed with comparison. Now that you have gone to the Immortal Sect, I But I can only stay in this world alone.”
Zheng Fa pressed his fingers slightly and continued reading after a while.
"Zheng Fa, if I were you, I should be very proud and happy. But you are not. You seem to always feel that this world should not be like this."
"So I want to go to college, continue my studies, and become a clerk to see what I can do for the world."
"If you really become a big shot in the Immortal Sect and haven't changed anything in this world, then I will laugh at you when I see you in the future."
Putting down the letter gently, Zheng Fa walked to the window and looked into the distance. Even he himself didn't know what he was feeling.
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Huang Yu from the outer courtyard also heard the sound. He first looked at Zheng Fa, and when he saw Zheng Fa nodding towards him, he walked out curiously.
It was a mess outside the door. There were shacks surrounded by red cloth all along the street. Dozens of wooden tables crowded the entire street. There were several large pots on the street, and three big and round chefs were waving spatulas vigorously.
Huang Yu understood clearly. This was probably a banquet held by a restaurant next door. The banquet was so loud that it blocked a street.
Several young men who looked like restaurant waiters were walking among the tables and chairs, seeming to be making the final arrangements.
Huang Yu grabbed a man and asked, "Are you hosting a banquet?"
"Yes, flowing water mat! It won't stop for three days. You can come and eat anytime you want!"
The man was quite enthusiastic.
Huang Yu scratched his head: "Whose family is this? So generous?"
"Zheng family!"
"...Which Zheng family?" Huang Yu was stunned.
"You haven't seen it, haven't you? Apart from Zheng Fa and Zheng Zhen's family, is there any other Zheng family on this street that is so luxurious?"
When Huang Yu heard this, he looked at the Zheng family courtyard behind him in confusion, and then pointed at himself: "But I... belong to the Zheng family!"
The two parties looked at each other, but without understanding the situation, Huang Yu ran into the Zheng family courtyard.
Zheng Fa was also a little confused, and he finally understood it once he went out - this was probably Madam's handiwork.
Because Butler Wu next to Madam was standing at the door, giving instructions to the waiters.
"Butler Wu? What are you doing?"
Butler Wu turned around and saw Zheng Fa calling him. He trotted over quickly, his shoulders slightly hunched and his head lower than when they met before.
"Zheng Zhenren."
"You can't be a real person." Zheng Fa waved his hand.
"Sooner or later, it's okay to call early." Butler Wu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"This is……"
"Oh, Madam ordered it to celebrate your ascension to the Immortal Sect."
Zheng Fa frowned slightly after hearing this.
This is neither in line with his wishes nor his wife's style.
Butler Wu lowered his voice a little and said, "Actually, it was the seventh young master's idea."
That's right, it's what this guy can do.
"Ma'am, didn't you stop me?"
"Seventh Young Master said, Master, you are from a humble background after all. I'm afraid your money will be tight after you go to the Immortal Sect. I wanted to give you some gold and silver."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
"My wife stopped him and said that there is no need for our family to send this money, someone will do it."
Zheng Fa was even more confused.
"My wife asked me to host this banquet. Don't worry, my dear, I will never ruin your reputation in the slightest. No matter who comes, whether rich or poor, a beggar or a low-income person, just say congratulations and you'll have a feast!"
"..."
"Well, that's for giving money to real people."
Butler Wu seemed to notice his doubts and pointed to the street. There was a small table there, and behind the small table sat a person dressed as an accountant.
If someone gave money as a gift, he would make two entries in the account book in front of him.
A few familiar people were handing over banknotes in front of the small table.
Aren't these all the young masters of the Chen family?
There were some people behind them, who were also dressed extremely luxuriously. They all seemed to come from wealthy families.
Now Zheng Fa understood: "Are you asking me to make money through the banquet?"
"What is collecting money? This is obviously an opportunity for me, Mr. Jingzhou, to show your respect for the real person!"
Butler Wu said righteously.
Zheng Fa frowned, he didn't want to be so ostentatious by nature.
Butler Wu seemed to see his displeasure and even complained: "Master, you don't know that after the Immortal Products Conference, I don't know how many big families are targeting you... They have no way to get to your door, and they all found Madam!"
"..." Zheng Fa didn't expect this to happen.
"If Madam stops them again, they will think that our Zhao family eats alone and don't want you to contact them." The bitterness on Butler Wu's face didn't seem fake: "So Madam thought, it's better to hold a party so that they can come to visit once, and you will have peace in the future."
Zheng Fa nodded, knowing that this was a helpless solution.
"Madam has another idea. After you leave, Madam Zheng and Miss will stay in Jingzhou City, just in case some blind people provoke them. This time, it is also to let the big and small forces recognize the door..."
Zheng Fa was silent for a while, walked towards the street, and bowed to those who came to give gifts.
Those people didn't seem to expect Zheng Fa to come to thank them in person, and they were a little terrified.
Looking at these uninvited people, he thought of Gao Yuan who left without saying goodbye.
I still prefer the latter.
…
Seeing Zheng Fa go to entertain the guests, Wu Butler suddenly pulled Huang Yu's sleeve.
"Hmm?"
Huang Yu lowered his head and saw Wu Butler put an exquisite jade pendant into his hand.
"This is..." Huang Yu asked in confusion: "Butler Wu's gift money?"
"Do I deserve it?" Wu Butler choked: "For you!"
"For me?" Huang Yu lowered his head to look at the jade pendant, which was of good quality, at least his father didn't have it.
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing, just to make a good relationship." Butler Wu saw that he thought the jade pendant was hot, smiled and said: "Their young master is trying to curry favor with your son, so naturally I can only curry favor with you... Take it, you can tell your son later."
Huang Yu carefully put the jade pendant into his arms, and heard Butler Wu say: "This is just the beginning, your father, he really found a good position for you."
Touching the jade pendant in his arms, he felt the joy of being a chicken and dog for the first time.
