Two years later, when the date Zhang Shao and paradigm agreed was approaching, Zhang Shao said to his mother, "please hold a banquet to wait for my friend paradigm to come." Mother said: "you have been away for two years. How can you take it seriously when you make an appointment with a friend so far away?" Zhang Shao said to his mother, "fan juqing is a believer. He is very faithful. He will never break the contract." Zhang Shao's mother said, "if so, I will brew wine for you and make a banquet." On that day, I made an appointment as scheduled.
