AST 2089 - Big Tiger Wants to Wed the Yu Clan Third Young Lady (2/2)
“Mister Qing, let me do the introductions. I am Yu Zezheng and these are my third and sixth brothers, Yu Zemian and Yu Zehuo respectively,” Yu Zezheng said as he pointed at the green-robed man and the purple-gold robed man.
“Hope the two seniors are well!”
“Good to see you, Mister Qing!”
“You’re acting like an outsider. You can just call us Old Yu, Old Three and Old Six,” Yu Zezheng said with a laugh.
“That is not proper. You guys can just call me Qing Shui. If you don’t think of it badly, I’ll call you Uncle Zheng.”
Yu Zezheng was contemplating. At his old age, he was naturally aware that there were no free lunches in this world. Although he wasn’t sure why Qing Shui came, improving relations with him was crucial. Still, he couldn’t help but worry about the potential costs.
“This is akin to putting this old man on the spot. Those with power should take the lead. I may be old, but I can’t handle being your elder.” Yu Zezheng stated, trying to reveal Qing Shui’s intentions.
“Back in my home, there’s an order of seniority. We only consider age. No matter how powerful a son is, he can’t be the big boss in front of his father.” Qing Shui smiled as he said.
“Fine then. I’ll take up this mantle,” Yu Zezheng said, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Qing Shui could naturally detect his unease, as he comforted him: “Senior, you don’t need to worry. I have come here for a good thing.”
“I know, I know.”
“Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, you seem to have reached a bottleneck, I will help you break through it later,” Qing Shui offered as he looked at the other two old men.
“We can really break through?” The two were filled with joy.
“You’ll see later. This is not a difficult task because you have already reached the pinnacle. You’re just missing that one opportunity.”
……
The men sat down at the guest hall. Yu Zezheng then decided to start the conversation: “May I ask the reason for Mister Qing’s presence here?”
Qing Shui knew that he couldn’t loosen up without knowing, so he just said: “I’m here to propose a marriage.”
Qing Shui’s words naturally surprised the three elderly men as they simply couldn’t speak, their facial expressions changing quickly.
Qing Shui realized that they were perhaps led astray, as he followed up: “Not for myself, but for my disciple, Big Tiger of the Imperial Cuisine Hall.”
They took a breath of relief when they heard his words, as they asked: “I wonder which of my Yu Clan’s little lasses have caught Miraculous Physician Big Tiger’s eyes?”
Yu Zezheng’s face lit up with joy as this was a great opportunity to forge closer bonds with this youth before him. Big Tiger was this youth’s disciple, and this relationship was sufficient, as disciple and master were akin to father and son.
“I only know that it’s the Third Young Lady and that they are both in love with each other. I just saw the Third Young Lady with Big Tiger. However, Big Tiger is afraid that Uncle Zheng would reject him, so I’m proposing this on his behalf,” Qing Shui explained, already knowing that this was guaranteed to be a success.
