Lonely Immortal

However, everyone was slightly confused, but soon came to their senses, because Zhang Zhiwen is a fool, and a fool naturally doesn't understand anything, so it is better than asking other people to help.

In this way, with the help of the old man Dr. Chen, the oiran finally regained his freedom, and the dead guy was dragged away by Capt. Lin.

Seeing that the matter was over, Zhang Zhiwu seemed to want to say something to the oiran, but the oiran seemed to be in no mood to talk, so he hesitated, and then left with Zhang Zhiwen.

It seemed that the matter had come to an end for the time being, and after returning, Zhang Zhiwen was playing and playing mindlessly as usual, running around in the yard, and making trouble here and there from time to time, just like a three-year-old child.

Time seemed to pass by like this day by day, and on this day, someone suddenly came to the door.

"Ouch, congratulations to Mr. Zhang, congratulations to Mr. Zhang..."

This person was the matchmaker in the town. She started making noises as soon as she arrived, which surprised Zhang Zhiwen’s parents. At this moment, everyone was sitting together having lunch when the matchmaker barged in without even saying hello. .

But when he saw a matchmaker coming, Zhang's father also knew that he was someone who could not afford to offend. Don't underestimate this matchmaker. No one in the town dared to offend her. If you offended her, it would be a disaster. I'll give it to you everywhere. If you say bad things, there will be no way to start a family if there are already children in the family.

Therefore, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother quickly stood up and went out to greet her, but they looked confused and didn't know why the matchmaker suddenly came to their door.

When the matchmaker came closer, she showed her unique snobbish smile, which was a kind of superficial smile, and then she said: "Ouch, congratulations to Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang..."

"Matchmaker, where does this joy come from?"

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, didn't you know? Someone is willing to marry your stupid son!"

The matchmaker directly stated her intention. As soon as she said this, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were stunned, but they soon came to their senses and were overjoyed.

"Is this true?"

Father Zhang was obviously overjoyed. You know, he had gone to great lengths to find a marriage for his eldest son, but he still couldn't find anyone willing to marry him. But he didn't expect that good things would come to his door today. .

"True! A hundred truths! Truer than real gold! How could anything I said be false?" The matchmaker was quite eloquent when she opened her mouth.

"Then... I wonder if she is a girl from the He family?" Zhang's mother seemed to think that this matter was a bit strange, because the man had always taken the initiative to propose marriage. How could a woman ask a matchmaker to propose marriage? But she felt that if a woman was willing to marry If it is given to the eldest son Zhang Zhiwen, then the rest will not be important.

When she asked this question, Zhang's father also wanted to know. At this time, Zhang Zhiwen and Zhang Zhiwu also followed out. Several servants from the family were also waiting nearby. They were also very curious. Young Master, someone actually came to propose marriage. This is an unprecedented thing for Tieshu.

"Hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I just came here, look, this is really tiring..."

A matchmaker is not a fuel-efficient person. How could she let things go without seeing any benefits? Then her trip would have been in vain.

Seeing her like this, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother immediately understood what the other party meant, and they politely invited her to come in and sit down. They also immediately asked the housekeeper to fetch some money and give it to the matchmaker.

When the matchmaker saw that Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were still polite and the money they gave was not too small, she showed a satisfied smile and said: "Hey, actually, it was the oiran from the town who asked me to propose marriage this time. She is interested in it." Your eldest son Zhiwen!”

"What?!"

Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, and Zhang Zhiwu all exclaimed in unison, and the servants were also extremely surprised. The old housekeeper stood beside him with an expression of disbelief, but Zhang Zhiwen actually jumped up and clapped.

"Wow, wow, yes, yes, yes, I'm going to get a wife, I'm going to get a wife!"

Seeing him like this, the matchmaker showed a look of disgust and disgust in her eyes, but the look disappeared in a flash. Instead, she smiled and said to Zhang Zhiwen: "Yes, young master, you are getting married, and your family My wife is as beautiful as a flower, are you happy?"

"I'm so happy, I'm going to buy a lot of candied haws for her to eat!"

Zhang Zhiwen was extremely excited, and he didn't know what he was excited about. He was a fool with only the intelligence of a three-year-old child. He probably thought that marrying a wife was fun, that's all.

But the matchmaker felt that Zhang Zhiwen was really interesting to tease, so she couldn't help laughing.

But this puts Zhang's father and Zhang's mother in trouble. You know, the oiran is a brothel girl. What's so great about marrying such a shabby woman? Wouldn’t that be a joke!

But if he doesn’t marry back, his eldest son Zhang Zhiwen won’t be able to find a wife. Is it possible that he will remain a bachelor for the rest of his life? And the most important thing is Zhang Zhiwu's matter. If the eldest son doesn't get married, the younger son can't get married. This is the rule. Otherwise, people will say that their family has a bad family tradition. How can the younger one get married earlier than the elder one? Isn’t it unethical?

Therefore, this matter is really difficult for Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, but Zhang Zhiwu stood beside him looking extremely disappointed. He looked at his brother Zhang Zhiwen, who looked like a fool, but he wanted to marry an oiran as his wife. , and he is still thinking about the oiran, what should he do?

But Zhang Zhiwu was also a loyal person, and he quickly figured out that it would be fine if his brother Zhang Zhiwen married a wife anyway, and he would just marry another later. There was no need to be at odds with his brother, as long as he liked her.

"this……"

Father Zhang didn't know what to say. It didn't matter whether he refused or not. It was very difficult anyway.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not telling you. Look, how old is your son? Hasn't he been unable to marry a wife?"

When the matchmaker saw Father Zhang's hesitation, she began to use her sharp tongue to persuade him.

"In that case, are you willing to see him remain a bachelor for the rest of his life?"

"Besides, if he doesn't have a wife, what will your youngest son Zhiwu do? You can't live without a wife for the rest of your life, right?"

"Besides, it's not easy for someone to fall in love with your son. It doesn't matter what her background is, and if she becomes a good person, it doesn't matter. Are there not many good women in the world who get married?"

"When the time comes, I might even give birth to a big fat boy for you, which will bring prosperity to your Zhang family. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing?"

…

I have to say that this matchmaker's tongue is really powerful. What she said was completely meant for Father Zhang's heart. Father Zhang became more and more moved by what she said, because what the matchmaker said really made sense.

What's wrong with his reputation? Everyone in the town knows that his son is a fool. So what if the fool married a good woman? It's not a big deal to chat a few words. Besides, don't laugh at anyone who has no trouble at all!

"But Zhiwen, after all..."

Zhang's mother was thinking deeply about things. He felt that Zhang Zhiwen was a fool. He was afraid that he would be unable to control Zhang Zhiwen after marrying such a powerful wife. Once the two of them grew old, this woman might bully Zhang Zhiwen.

Obviously, Zhang's mother was thinking more about the happiness of her son Zhang Zhiwen, rather than about continuing the family line.

Of course, whether it is Zhang's father or Zhang's mother, they naturally hope that Zhang Zhiwen will live a better life, but they focus on different angles.

When Zhang's mother said this, the matchmaker also looked embarrassed, and then said: "Madam, there is nothing we can do about this matter? What will happen to your Zhiwen family in the future? It's hard to say. I'm here as a matchmaker, so I can't give you a guarantee. , But don’t you still have Zhiwu in your family? Zhiwu can’t watch his brother being bullied by his sister-in-law, right?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Zhiwu. Zhang Zhiwu didn't expect that things would come to his head, but he immediately said: "Father, mother, don't worry, I will look after my brother in the future."

"Oh, that's good..." Mother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?"

When the matchmaker saw that the matter was almost over, it seemed that the marriage would be possible, but at this moment, Zhang Zhiwen, who had been stupid next to him, suddenly spoke up.

"Is my wife the one who sat on the bench last time?"

Zhang Zhiwen actually remembered the oiran's name, but yes, he was a fool, but it didn't mean he had amnesia. If he really couldn't remember the name, he wouldn't be a fool, he would be in a vegetative state.

"Hey, have you seen her?"

The matchmaker didn't expect that this fool Zhang Zhiwen had actually met the oiran. Wouldn't that be better?

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't know about this. They couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhiwu, because if Zhang Zhiwen went out, he would be accompanied by Zhang Zhiwu. Since Zhang Zhiwen said that he had met the oiran, Zhang Zhiwu must also know about this.

"Oh, I saw it accidentally on the street last time..." Zhang Zhiwu didn't plan to tell the scandal. He was worried about affecting Zhang Zhiwen's marriage. Once his parents knew that the oiran actually made such a big noise in the street, it would be terrible. .

Now that his brother Zhang Zhiwen is about to get married, he is also a little selfish. On the one hand, he hopes that his brother will live a happy life, which is true, but how much weight this has, it is hard to say, but for him, he is naturally There are benefits.

If the courtesan marries in, then Zhang Zhiwu can get along with his sister-in-law day and night, which is very attractive to Zhang Zhiwu.

Secondly, according to Zhang Zhiwu's judgment, his brother Zhang Zhiwen probably does not have the ability to have sex. As his sister-in-law has been lonely for a long time, his opportunity may come.

Thirdly, even if the sister-in-law and her brother live well, then he can marry a wife because of his brother Zhang Zhiwen, and he can also marry a wife.

Therefore, no matter what, it is beneficial to him, and he thinks so instinctively. Naturally, these thoughts cannot be leaked, but these are the true thoughts of human nature, and Zhang Zhiwu does not even know that he is indeed like this. The plan was just to lie based on instinct.

Otherwise, he could tell the whole truth without having to hide it. After hearing this, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother probably refused to agree to the marriage. A good woman can do it, but making such a big fuss is basically It’s impossible, the reputation is too bad.

Although their silly son Zhang Zhiwen is a fool, at least the silly son is innocent. There is nothing he can do about being born a fool. This is not a shameful thing, and many people still sympathize with them.

But if he knew that the courtesan was shamelessly showing off in the street, he would never agree to the marriage.

This nature is completely different. Some poor women are sold to brothels. They have no choice but to be forced by life. However, they can be sympathized with after they become good people.

As long as he is honest and does his duty in the future, it doesn't matter. Furthermore, Zhang Zhiwen is indeed a fool. If he marries a fool, he must also have great flaws.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwu instinctively lied.

"I see……"

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't think too much, thinking that they just met by chance on the street. There were not many people in the town, so it was not a strange thing to encounter them often. This brothel woman also wanted to go out to purchase some things. It’s impossible not to come out forever.

"Hey, sit on the bench and lie down on a man, so shy..."

Zhang Zhiwen, this fool, started talking nonsense again. Zhang Zhiwu was shocked. He quickly stopped Zhang Zhiwen, otherwise, the marriage would not be possible.

When Zhang's father and Zhang's mother heard this, they were also very confused. What do you mean by sitting on a bench, and what do you mean by lying on a man's back? What's there to be shy about?

"Zhiwu, you wouldn't take your brother to a place like that, would you?"

Mother Zhang frowned and asked.

Father Zhang's face suddenly became serious. This matter is very important. The Zhang family has always been upright. Children must not go to any brothels, otherwise they will not be worthy of their ancestors!

"No no, I didn't."

Zhang Zhiwu waved his hands in fear.

"Then what's going on?" Mother Zhang seemed to be more powerful. She could tell immediately that something was wrong.

"Mom, he likes that woman, which means he likes my wife!"

Zhang Zhiwen is so stubborn that he comes out to speak at this time. Call him stupid, but he is really not stupid. Call him not stupid, but he is very stupid.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, this is nothing!"

Zhang Zhiwu suddenly panicked. He had no idea that Zhang Zhiwen would reveal his thoughts. He thought that Zhang Zhiwen was a fool, so Zhang Zhiwen would definitely not understand. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiwen also understood the affairs between men and women.

And seeing Zhang Zhiwu's appearance, how could Zhang's father and Zhang's mother not see something?

Just as Zhang Zhiwen said, Zhang Zhiwu liked the oiran, and something must have happened to them that day. Therefore, Zhang's father became serious: "Tell me the truth, what is going on!"

Seeing that his father was so stern, Zhang Zhiwu could only honestly tell the whole story about the oiran. The more Zhang Zhiwu and Zhang Mu heard about it, the uglier their expressions became. The matchmaker was also extremely embarrassed next to him, because it had been spread in the town for a long time. There has been a lot of fuss, but the Zhang family is the only one who doesn't know about it.

But now that the Zhang family also knows, it seems that this marriage cannot be done, and the matchmaker probably has the answer in her heart.

When she saw Father Zhang looking over, she smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Zhang, I just learned about this. If it's not suitable, then let's give up on this marriage!"
