"Zheng Fa personally"

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 Immortal Selection Fair came back.

Last night Seventh Young Master suddenly handed him a letter, saying that it was left to him by Gao Yuan.

"When you read this letter, I will probably have already embarked on my way to study at the 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 that Gao Yuan had already left Zhao Family. He had also heard of the Jingyang Academy. It was very famous but also far away.

"You once said that the young master is a good person. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. I asked the young master for help, but I didn't expect that he not only asked for my body deed from the madam, but also asked Teacher Shen to write me a letter of recommendation to the dean of the college."

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 talk like an immortal master to the person I regard as my best friend today. In fact, I was willing, but I don't know why, but after I met you, I became unwilling."

"I once 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 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 be 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 been able to change 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 in the outer courtyard also heard the sound. He first looked at Zheng Fa, and when he saw Zheng Fa nodded 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 I can see clearly that this is probably a banquet held by the restaurant next door. It is so loud that it blocks a whole street.

Several young men who looked like restaurant waiters were walking among the tables and chairs, seemingly making the final arrangements.

Huang Yu grabbed a man and asked, "Are you hosting a banquet?"

"Yes, flowing water table! 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 Zheng True Person's house, who else is as luxurious as Zheng Family?"

When Huang Yu heard this, he looked at the Zheng Family courtyard behind him in confusion, and then pointed at himself. "But I... am Zheng Family's!"

The two parties looked at each other, but without understanding the situation, Huang Yu ran into the Zheng Family's small courtyard.

Zheng Fa was also a little confused. Once he went out, he finally understood - this was probably Madam's handiwork.

Because Steward Wu next to Madam was standing at the door, giving instructions to the clerks.

"Steward Wu? What are you doing?"

Steward Wu turned around and saw that it was Zheng Fa calling him. He trotted over quickly, his shoulders slightly hunched and his head lower than when they met before.

"Zheng True Person."

"You can't do that True Person." Zheng Fa waved his hands.

"Sooner or later, it's okay to call early." Steward Wu said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

"This is..."

"Oh, Madam ordered it to celebrate True Person your honor Ascension Gate."

Zheng Fa frowned slightly after hearing this.

This is neither in line with his wishes nor his wife's style.

Steward Wu lowered his voice a little and said, "Actually, it was 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, True Person, after all, you come from a humble background. I'm afraid your money will be tight after going 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 give it to him."

Zheng Fa is even more confused.

"My wife asked me to host this banquet. True Person Don't worry, your reputation will not be ruined in any way. No matter who comes, whether rich or poor, beggar or poor, just say congratulations and you can have a feast!"

"..."

"Well, that's the money for True Person."

Steward Wu seemed to notice his doubts and pointed to the street. There was a small table set up there, and behind the small table sat a person dressed as a cashier.

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 those Chen Family young masters?

There were some people behind them, and they were also dressed very luxuriously. They all seemed to come from wealthy families.

Now Zheng Fa understood. "Are you asking me to use the banquet to make money?"

"What is collecting money? This is obviously an opportunity for me, Jing Prefecture, to show my respect for you True Person!"

Steward Wu said righteously.

Zheng Fa frowned, he didn't want to be so ostentatious by nature.

Steward Wu seemed to notice his displeasure, and even complained, "True Person, you don't know, Immortal Selection Fair, I don't know how many wealthy people are trying to get your idea... They have no way to get through your door, so they all went to Madam!"

"..." Zheng Fa I didn't expect this to happen.

"If Madam stops me again, they will think that our Zhao family is living alone and does not want you to have contact with them." The bitterness on Butler Wu's face does not seem to be fake. "So Madam thought, it is better to organize a party so that they can come to visit you once, and you will be at peace in the future."

Zheng Fa nodded, knowing in his heart that there was no other way.

"Madam has another idea. After True Person you left, Mrs. Zheng and Miss Zheng stayed in Jingzhou City for fear of being provoked by some short-sighted people. This time, it is also to allow big and small forces to recognize the door..."

Zheng Fa was silent for a while, walked towards the street, and thanked those who came to give gift money.

Those people didn't seem to expect that Zheng Fa would come to thank them in person, and they were actually a little frightened.

Looking at these uninvited people, he thought of leaving without saying goodbye Gao Yuan.

I still prefer the latter in my heart.

Seeing Zheng Fa going to entertain the guests, Steward Wu suddenly pulled Huang Yu's sleeve.

"Huh?"

Huang Yu lowered his head and saw Steward Wu stuffing a delicate Jade Pendant into his hand.

"This is..." Huang Yu asked in confusion, "Steward Wu's gift money?"

"Am I worthy?" Steward Wu choked. "It's for you!"

"For me?" Huang Yu lowered his head and looked at Jade Pendant. It was in good condition, at least his father didn't have it.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, just make a good relationship." Steward Wu saw that this Jade Pendant felt like it was hot on his hands, so he smiled and said, "Their young master fawns over your young master, and I, Guan Family, can only fawn over you, Guan Family... Take it, you can tell your young master later."

Huang Yu carefully took Jade Pendant into his arms, and heard Steward Wu say, "Where are you now? Your father has really found a good position for you."

Touching Jade Pendant in his arms, he felt the joy of being a chicken and dog for the first time.
