Zhang Shou's wedding a few days ago was grand and orderly, thanks to the excellent servants borrowed from the Duke of Qin's Mansion and other mansions, and the strict control of every process. Of course, everyone in Zhang Garden knew that the wedding was so smooth, and the people who should be thanked the most were Zhang Shou's students who volunteered to help.
The most outstanding person among them, apart from Lu Sanlang, the supporter, is Zhang Chen.
You know, Zhang Chen was polite and well-spoken throughout the whole process, from welcoming the bride to entertaining guests. Even though many people have heard about Zhang Chen's change, he is not like Lu Sanlang, who can turn over a new leaf and become a genius. So seeing is believing. Seeing with one's own eyes that the former leading figure among the dandies in the capital can now treat people so maturely, everyone is extremely impressed.
Zhang Chen himself was like a wilted vegetable the day after the wedding and did not go out for several days. People who did not know him thought that he was reluctant to part with Zhu Ying, so he felt bad after she married into the Zhang family... But people in the Zhang family of the Duke of Qin's Mansion, such as Zhang Chen's parents, knew that Zhang Chen had exerted too much effort at once, so he was weak afterwards.
She had to dress up beautifully and serve as a best man to welcome the bride, and then she had to greet guests in front of everyone. She had to greet all kinds of people she usually didn't want to deal with with a smile, and she had to say all kinds of things she usually didn't like to say... Most importantly, some of the young girls and wives who came to watch the fun only had Zhang Shou in their eyes, which disappointed Zhang Chen, who had originally planned to take the opportunity to hunt for beauties.
However, there were too few unmarried daughters who went to Zhang Garden for the banquet, so Zhang Chen's purpose of taking the opportunity to see if there were any suitable girls as marriage candidates was completely ruined, and it was inevitable that he lost interest afterwards.
Therefore, he completely forgot about the bet. He slept until noon as usual that morning. When he heard the servants report that Zhang Shou had come, he was confused for a while before he asked stupidly, "What is he doing here? I didn't skip classes. I came back from Cangzhou and my studies at Banshan Hall are over."
"I am not a student supervisor now!"
The servant who came to report was so stupid that he cried. Banshan Hall is no longer in the Imperial College, but don't you still regard Zhang Xueshi as your teacher? And the problem is, I didn't say that they came to catch you skipping classes! A few days ago, you were still talking about making a bet with the fourth prince. How come you have completely forgotten it after just a few days
Therefore, he could only remind him tactfully. It happened that Zhang Chen had been eating and sleeping these days, and was in a daze the rest of the time. His brain was several times slower than usual. He had already pointed out the word "bet", but Zhang Chen was still at a loss.
This time, convinced that his young master was beyond saving, the servant simply withdrew and respectfully let Zhang Shouqing in. Of course, he also included the Fourth Prince who seemed to be his follower, and several others.
Although the servant could tell at a glance that the unruly kid behind Zhang Shou was definitely not a follower, but the one who made a bet with his young master, he still did not expose him. Anyway, his master had said that if it was Master Zhang who came to visit, he would be treated well regardless of whether he was there or not, so Zhang Chen's intentions were irrelevant.
