Double Happiness Arrives at the Door

  County Magistrate Li heard what Yue Fei had to say and also felt suspicious. How did Wang Ziyu look so much like Yue Fei? Could they be twin brothers? However, guessing is just guessing, without solid evidence it can't be confirmed, after all there are many people in the world who look alike.

  "Old Hero Zhou, Li has an unfulfilled wish, I wonder if Old Hero Zhou can make it come true." County Magistrate Li said suddenly.

  "What's your wish? Tell me! As long as I can help it, I'll definitely lend a hand." Zhou Tong spoke very readily.

  "I have a young daughter, born with a beautiful appearance, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, she has high standards for her future husband and doesn't take ordinary people seriously. Today, I saw that my disciple Yue Fei is dignified, elegant, and refined in his speech and behavior, with unparalleled martial arts skills. I intend to recruit him as a son-in-law, but I'm afraid he might refuse, so I'd like to discuss this with you and ask for your help in facilitating this beautiful marriage." County Magistrate Li finally spoke out what was on his mind.

  "Originally, Lord Li chose my cicada son as the east bed, that's a good thing, I don't have any opinion, as long as both parties are willing." Zhou Dang said.

  Yue Fei's face turned bright red upon hearing this.

  "Congratulations, Brother Yue! We're going to have a sister-in-law!" Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and Wang Gui all had big smiles on their faces.

  "You - you'd better not speak nonsense, the eight characters are not yet complete. My family is poor and humble, I didn't have a father to teach me from a young age, I don't understand etiquette, how dare I tarnish Miss Li's good name? Moreover, I'm still young and haven't accomplished anything, how can I let Miss Li follow me and suffer? Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but I really am not worthy of being your son-in-law."

  Li Chun listened and felt a little unhappy in her heart.

  "Fei, when speaking in front of Lord Li, be mindful of your words and don't spout nonsense. Lord Li is willing to marry his precious daughter to you, that's him looking up to you and elevating you, so don't be ungrateful." Zhou Dang said with a serious face.

  Yue Fei saw that both his father-in-law and Li were unhappy, so he knew he had misspoken.

  "General Li, it's not that I'm unwilling, but rather I dare not have such presumptuous thoughts. Your daughter is from a noble family of officials, while I am just a poor young man with nothing to my name, living in Qilin Village. If your daughter were to marry me, she would certainly suffer, and I don't want to drag her down with me." Yue Fei explained.

  "As long as you nod your head, you'll be my son-in-law. From then on, we'll be one family and should help each other out. If there's anything difficult in your household, I'll help you resolve it - don't worry about it. As long as you're sincere with Xiaomei, that's all that matters." said Li Chun.

  "Yes, Fei'er, Lord Li is sincere in inviting you to be his son-in-law, just agree. I know you're a filial child and wouldn't dare agree without your parents' consent and matchmaker's words. Don't worry, I'll act as the matchmaker, and you don't need to worry about your mother, I'll explain it to her." Zhou Dang said.

  Yue Fei's face flushed with a hint of redness after hearing his father-in-law's words, and he felt sweet in his heart.

  "General Li, since my godfather is willing to be a matchmaker, I can only set my sights high. Don't worry, as long as the young lady is willing to marry me, I will treat her well and won't let her suffer any grievances in our household. Brothers and elders present here today, from now on, bear witness for me: if I bully Miss Li, that would be a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust person - you can all scold me by poking my spine."

  Li Chun was overjoyed when Yue Fei agreed and ordered his servants to reopen the banquet to celebrate.

  "Fei'er, don't you thank your father-in-law?" Zhou Tong reminded him.

  Yue Fei listened to his master's words and understood. He came before County Magistrate Li, made a respectful bow: "Honorable father-in-law, please accept your son-in-law's respects."

  The county magistrate laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth and quickly helped Yue Fei up.

  Wang Zongpeng saw that Li Xianzhen had invited Yue Fei as his son-in-law, and he felt a bit resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

  "Brother Yue, congratulations! My little sister finally has a master." Wang Zipeng said with a smile.

  "Tong Xi, you've gained another brother-in-law." Yue Fei also smiled and said.

  Magistrate Li reopened the wine party to celebrate the double happiness, and everyone drank with abandon. Several younger brothers couldn't hold their liquor and got drunk after just two cups of wine.

  "Father-in-law, the brothers have all gotten drunk and lost their manners. I'll take them and leave first." Yue Fei said, supporting the most intoxicated Wang Gui as they walked away.

  "Son-in-law, slow down, it's getting late. Your brothers are staying in our house, you can return to Qilin Village tomorrow, it won't be too late." Li Chun said.

  Yue Fei listened and said: "Thank you, Uncle Yue. It's just that brothers are like this, really losing face."

  "It doesn't matter, your brother is my nephew, we're all family, no need to be polite. Master, arrange a room for them." County Magistrate Li ordered, and the master led the way, taking Yue Fei and his brothers out of the main hall.

  "Uncle Gan, I'm also unable to drink any more, I'll take my leave." Wang Zipeng said as he stood up and prepared to depart.

  "Peng'er, stay behind, Father has something to say." Li Chun said, holding back Wang Ziyu.

  "Dad, let's talk about it tomorrow, I really can't hold on anymore." Wang Zipeng begged.

  "No! Now it must be said. Your father thinks you're a talented person and doesn't want to waste your potential, so he wants you to take Zhou Laoxiong as your master and focus on practicing martial arts with him. Are you willing?" Li Chun said.

  Wang Zi Peng listened and immediately became spirited, saying in a row: "Happy, happy, of course happy."

  "Then you... don't be slow... become a disciple?" Li Chun already had a few parts of drunkenness, slurred and said.

  Wang Zipeng listened, came to Zhou Tong's front, knelt down with a thud, and said seriously: "Master, please accept the three bows of your disciple." After that, he knocked his head on the ground three times in succession.

  Zhou Tong and Wang Ziyu were also old friends, loving the house and the crow, he loved Yue Fei, and also liked Wang Ziyu. Seeing Wang Ziyu bowing to him as a teacher, he was delighted in his heart and smiled: "I didn't expect that in my old age, I could get two disciples like this, it's really one arrow and two hawks! Get up! I promise you. There is only one requirement, you temporarily come with us to Qilin Village, where I have set up a school, and later you brothers will study together and learn from each other. How about it, sir?"

  "This... doesn't seem right. I've never met them before, and I don't want to be a burden on others either. If Master is not convenient to teach, then let's talk about it another day. There's always tomorrow, and Zi Peng is willing to wait for that day." Wang Zi Peng said.

  Speak and listen to the sound, gongs and drums listen to the voice. Li Chun saw that Wang Ziyu was not pleased and didn't want to force him. After all, Ziyu was his adopted son, and going to Qilin Village wasn't quite suitable.

  "Master Zhou, why not do it this way? Tomorrow, I'll go with you to Qilin Village to propose to Yue Anren. After they've settled the marriage, you can bring them and their brothers to the county town. The training grounds have complete facilities, it's best for everyone to practice together." Li Chun said.

  Zhou Tong listened and said after a moment of contemplation: "Since that's the case, Zhou has agreed."
