Chapter 1044: The Young Master Zhang Who Fell Blindly in Love
Jiang Wuhen sighed. He may have many talents – face reading, curing diseases, writing beautiful typos – but he knew nothing about playing the zither. It seemed that even perverts had more talents than him.
“Hurry up and eat. It’s rare for someone to play the zither just for fun. Everyone, don’t stand on ceremony,” said Lan Xinyu disgracefully just when everyone started to get swayed by the music of the zither.
“Oh, right, right. Let’s eat. The last time this happened, I met a zither player who charged me ten taels of silver. But this one is free.” Su Xiu’er immediately started eating. She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth, chewing rhythmically along with the zither’s music.
“True, that makes sense.” Ling Chuxi smiled and continued to eat.
Ling Yichen and Baili Han were only momentarily stunned before they smiled at each other. To these foodies, the sound of the zither, no matter how beautiful and captivating, would only stimulate their appet.i.te and help them digest.
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped. Zhang Yuhong’s fingers were still pressed on the zither, but his face had turned red.
His zither skills were well-known in the entire Kai Yuan City. How could they be compared to those other zither players? His zither skills, coupled with his elegance and handsomeness, would charm countless ladies from n.o.ble families into falling head over heels for him. Wooing them had never been an issue for him. Obviously, this was not the case right now.
However, her n.o.bleness and purity should not be judged outwardly by her appearance. She was far from being comparable to other ordinary women. Thus, not only did Zhang Yuhong not get angry, he continued to look at Ling Chuxi with a burning gaze.
Love is blind. And though Zhang Yuhong hadn’t truly fallen in love yet, he was already blinded at first sight.
“I’m Zhang Yuhong of Kai Yuan City. May I know this lady’s name?” asked Zhang Yuhong as he came to Ling Chuxi with a deep and elegant bow, and the most charming smile he thought he had on his face.
His gaze was focused and affectionate, his expression was reserved yet amiable, and his appearance was quite outstanding. If it wasn’t for Old Ding’s concerns earlier, Lan Xinyu and the others would have suspected Feng Zijin was framing a good person.
“Is this dish called tenderloin? It’s not bad. Give me another serving.” Ling Chuxi ordered as if she hadn’t heard him.
“And this sesame pork knuckle isn’t bad. Give me another serving too,” added Lan Xinyu.
Zhang Yuhong was still bowed slightly with his fists cupped. He tried to maintain the composure he was trying to exude but his expression froze. A hint of anger flashed across his eyes.
He had been ignored, completely ignored! With his status, no one would dare to ignore him in Kai Yuan City, let alone in this small town!
“Young Lady, I am Zheng Zhijun, the clan head of the Zheng family in Dan Ling Town. This is Young Master Zhang Yuhong of Kai Yuan City.” Seeing that Zhang Yuhong was already showing signs of losing his temper, Zheng Zhijun started to worry for Ling Chuxi. He secretly winked at Ling Chuxi, as if trying to give a hint to her. If such beautiful ladies offended Zhang Yuhong, the consequences would not be good. Zheng Zhijun would never have thought that his worries were completely unnecessary.
