Chapter 86: Engagement
Looking to the side, Lin Feng saw that the man who was pulling the corner of his clothes was a man in his fifties, with tattered clothes and like a beggar.
His hair was messy, and he looked like he hadn't washed his face in a long time. Wen Xing looked at him with some disgust and said, "Lao Zheng, why don't you give up?" It's all like this, I don't think you'd better go in. ”
The man smiled wryly and said, "As long as I have a breath left, I'm going to go in." Young man, give me a chance, and I will certainly not let you down. ”
Wen Xing said, "This guy is really dead. He was originally one of the most famous jade masters in the provincial capital, and he was quite proficient in jade carving. ”
Hearing him say this, Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "What are you doing with the past?" ”
Wen Xing continued, "As a result, this guy became obsessed with gambling jade, and not only lost his family money cleanly. Even his wife ran away with someone. But he didn't know how to repent, and when he heard that there was a jade trade today, he ran again. Can't even afford an admission ticket and want to get in? ”
Looking at poor Lao Zheng, Lin Feng asked Wen Xing, "Brother Wen, compared with Xiang Zixuan, which of them is more skillful?" ”
Wen Xing said with some pity, "The two of them are comparable, and he used to be one of the three jade masters in the provincial capital. It's a pity that it's the same name as Lao Xiang. ”
Maybe he has been used to being pointed at by others over the years, but Lao Zheng was expressionless, and he still grabbed Lin Feng's shirt and refused to let go.
In his eyes, Lin Feng was younger, and it was easier to agree to his request. But an admission ticket costs 10,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.
Looking at Lao Zheng's depressed appearance, Lin Feng thought that he had eaten the last meal and was also looked down upon at school. Although he is not rich and wealthy now, he is not short of 10,000 yuan.
He took out his wallet, counted 10,000 yuan and handed it to Lao Zheng. Lao Zheng ran to the ticket office as if he was holding a treasure.
Wen Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaolin, you were deceived by him. He couldn't even afford a ticket, and even if he did, it would only be enjoyable. This kind of person is not worth your money at all. ”
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Brother Wen, do you remember when I went to look for you?" It was about the same time as he was. Forget it, leave him alone. ”
Wen Xing shook his head and said, "Of course he can't compare with you." You're still young, your future is limitless, and he can't change it in his life. Lin Feng didn't bother to say more to him, and walked towards the hall with the flow of people.
Because it was a very grand trade fair, the Zhou family also spent a lot of effort, and the spacious hall was decorated with gold.
The people with more status in the provincial capital have arrived, and this kind of scene is certainly not comparable to that auction.
The Zhou family is also very thoughtful, and in the place against the wall, a variety of food and red wine are prepared, and visitors can enjoy the beautiful jade prepared by the Zhou family while tasting the wine.
Zhou Zixun's father, Zhou Kangping, was standing and chatting with people from the other three major families. Although they secretly tear each other down, they are still passable on the surface.
Yu Zhanhe stood opposite Zhou Kangping, and Yu Miao followed him. Yu Miao was wearing a rose-colored long dress, her snow-white fragrant shoulders were exposed, and a jade pendant in the shape of a water drop was hanging on her slender neck, which was even more elegant and generous.
She didn't say a word, but Yu Zhanhe and Zhou Kangping chatted happily. Perhaps because of the trend of marriage between the two families, Zhou Kangping also changed his indifferent expression.
Next to them, Zhao Weichen was holding a glass of red wine, admiring the jade. Beside him, stood a slightly shorter middle-aged man with a kind of innocent smile on his face.
There was a young man beside him, who was about the same age as Lin Feng. Unlike his father's smiling face, he frowned slightly, as if he wasn't very interested in the jade.
Those who can sit on an equal footing with Zhao Weichen are most likely also members of the four major families.
Seeing Lin Feng staring at that person intently, Wen Xing introduced him, "That person's name is Chen Hui, and he is the head of the Chen family among the four major families. Although this person always looks very kind on the surface, he is very scheming. ”
Lin Feng nodded, he was very interested in that young man.
Wen Xing said, "That young man is Chen Hui's son, named Chen Chuci, who has just returned from abroad. He is very talented, and he takes care of many of the Chen family's businesses. ”
Unlike Sun Tiancheng and Zhou Zixun, Chen Chuci was born to be a material for trading, and among the four major families, only Zhao Weichen's son Zhao Zhanpeng can compare with him.
It is precisely because of this that the Yu family and the Zhou family feel a lot of pressure.
Because although Zhou Kangping has two sons, one of whom is still young, the future of the Zhou family is pinned on Zhou Zixun, but he doesn't seem to be that material at all.
There is only one girl in the Yu family, Yu Miao, and there is no successor, so they all want to increase each other's strength through marriage, so that they can have a chance to compete with the other two.
Hearing Wen Xing's explanation, Lin Feng frowned.
Not far away, Sun Tiancheng and his son were standing in front of a huge jade rough.
The rough stone was about the size of a zhang, and because a corner was damaged during transportation, a dark green was exposed inside.
The skin of the rough stone is wrinkled, like elephant skin, and generally speaking, this kind of rough stone is the easiest to cut out of the top jadeite imperial green.
Therefore, the Zhou family regarded it as the treasure of the town store, and no matter where they went, they had to transport it and put it in the most conspicuous place.
Sun Tiancheng said in a low voice, "The Zhou family really has some good things, and just this piece of rough stone is expensive." ”
The fourth master was much calmer than him, and said, "That's not necessarily, this kind of thing is difficult to judge accurately." Who knows what will be cut out? ”
It's because they don't know the bottom in their hearts, and the Zhou family has never dared to cut it open to see what it is all these years.
Seeing that the personnel were almost here, Zhou Kangping cleared his throat and said, "It's an honor to invite you all today." In addition to allowing everyone to appreciate the jade, there is another very important thing to announce. ”
Seeing his happy face, everyone gathered around.
Zhou Kangping said, "We have discussed with the Yu family, and we plan to handle the engagement ceremony for Zixun and Miao'er in the near future." ”
His words naturally caused a lot of discussion. Most people hurried over to compliment Zhou Kangping, and Zhou Kangping smiled so much that there was only a slit left in his eyes.
Yu Miao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Second uncle, when did you settle down with them?" ”
Yu Zhanhe pulled Yu Miao to the side, and said with a bitter face, "Miao'er, this matter has not been agreed by me at all. It was your third uncle who contacted the Zhou family directly. He's set the date for your engagement, and now there's nothing I can do. ”
Seeing Yu Zhanhe's dejected appearance, Yu Miao's eyes were full of tears, and she had a feeling that she couldn't help herself. But she has a stubborn personality and has already made up her mind, even if everyone in the Yu family agrees, she herself does not agree!
At this time, Zhou Zixun had already walked over, holding a very beautiful brocade box in his hand. With a smile on his face, he walked up to Yu Miao and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
Yu Miao looked at him coldly, and Zhou Zixun opened the brocade box, and there was a ring inside. The gem on it was the size of a thumbnail and shimmered in the light.
Seeing it, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. This is the jadeite carefully selected by the Zhou family, and then let the jade master inlay it.
Whether it is material or workmanship, it is a first-class color. This kind of thing can only be taken by the Zhou family.
Everyone looked at Yu Miao with envy. They felt that only a beauty like Yu Miao could be worthy of this ring.
Zhou Zixun looked at Yu Miao expectantly, although he knew that Yu Miao and Lin Feng had a good relationship. But Yu Miao is just a girl, she definitely can't resist the temptation, and she will accept it with a smile.
It's a pity that he thought wrong, Yu Miao just glanced at the ring, then raised his head and said, "That's what my grandfather and third uncle promised." I never agreed to get engaged to your Zhou family at all! ”
Her words poured cold water on the father and son of the Zhou family, in the provincial capital, the Zhou family is very powerful, but now they are rejected by a little girl in front of everyone.
Even Zhou Kangping was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Zixun's face was pale. He directly grabbed Yu Miao's hand and planned to forcibly put the ring on her. At the same time, he said, "You can marry me, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life." Don't be ignorant! ”
Yu Miao shook her arm several times, but unfortunately she was not as strong as Zhou Zixun, so she couldn't shake his hand away.
Yu Zhanhe was also a little embarrassed, wanting to stop Zhou Zixun, but he was afraid of offending the Zhou family. If this matter is messed up, the old man will definitely not let him go.
Zhou Kangping stood aside and pretended not to see it. For him, Yu Miao was just a tool to use.
It doesn't matter if she wants to or not, as long as the Zhou family can have a good relationship with the Yu family, then his goal will be achieved.
Now the most helpless is Yu Miao, in front of hundreds of people, no one dares to come over to help her.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and then, with a roar, "What are you doing?" Zhou Zixun was pushed and stumbled, and the ring fell to the ground with a thud, and he rolled out far away.
