Chapter 13: Here He Lin comes

"Sister-in-law." Bai Sujin was taking care of the red silk and red candles for Liu Shisong's marriage in the shop, and suddenly heard such a sentence, and when he turned his head to look, it was He Lin.

He Lin was originally a friend of Bai Sujin's ex-husband Li Chengze, and the two went to Beijing together to take the exam. He Lin was only admitted to the Jinshi and assigned to Qianzhou, where the mountains and rivers were poor, and became a county magistrate. Originally, Li Chengze intended to support He Lin, but after He Lin learned of Li Chengze's divorce behavior, he resolutely broke off relations with him and broke off contact. At this time, he happened to pass through Suzhou and thought of his old man, so he inquired about this place and met Bai Sujin.

Bai Sujin has always been very arrogant, where did he want to get this reason, he thought that the people in the world were as black as the people, at this time, when he saw He Lin, he was not happy and angry, and sneered: "Who should I be, isn't this He Lin, now that the surname Li is a big official, you follow him, and you have also picked a lot of benefits, what, today's noble foot on the cheap land, what do you do?" ”

He Lin originally broke off his friendship with Li Chengze because of Bai Sujin's grievances, but he didn't expect to pass by here to see Bai Sujin, but it was this treatment. He Lin was a little annoyed and said: "Why is my sister-in-law like this, my sister-in-law treats me He Lin as such a villain who tends to be inflammatory, and I told my sister-in-law the truth, since I learned that Cheng Ze was hit by Tanhua and abandoned my sister-in-law, I was deeply saddened by my mistake and recognized myself, and I broke off with Li Chengze's grace a long time ago, and I came here today to visit my sister-in-law." ”

After hearing this, Bai Sujin also believed a little that literati were naturally high-minded, and she also knew a lot about the story of Guan Ning's cutting of the seat, so she felt that He Lin's approach was quite normal, at least in line with mainstream values.

Since He Lin broke off his friendship because Li Chengze took a break from him, he naturally couldn't slack off on such a person, so he hurriedly asked He Lin to sit down, his tone was much gentler, and he said gently: "He Lin, wasn't it my sister-in-law just now, I actually thought of you and Li Chengze as a kind of person, then again, your literary talent is not bad, you must also be named on the gold list, and now you are high there?" ”

He Lin sighed, waved his hand, and said as if he was a little helpless: "Ashamed, ashamed, I am about to go to Qianzhou to take the post of county leader, and I happened to pass by here, and I thought of my sister-in-law, so I came here to have a look." After a pause, He Lin said again, "Since the matter has come out, sister-in-law doesn't have to be too sad." I don't think my sister-in-law is like an ordinary woman, she is a scheming person, and she also became the shopkeeper of the matchmaker's shop. It's just that my sister-in-law is a woman's family, and many things will always be out of my hands, so if you have the right person, you should consider it as soon as possible. ”

He Lin said this bluntly, and Bai Sujin also knew what he meant, so he just skipped it. Although Bai Sujin hated Li Chengze to the core, after all, he had lived with him for five years, even if he gave up from the beginning, Bai Sujin still had some affection for him, so he pretended to ask casually: "The surname Li is now developed, he has become a big official, has he ever had a new love?" ”

He Lin's eyes dimmed slightly, glanced at Bai Sujin, and saw that Bai Sujin's expression was as usual, and he couldn't tell whether this question was random or deliberate for a while. After thinking about it, He Lin still replied truthfully: "Li Chengze has made a marriage contract with the daughter of Lord Liu of Zhongshu Ling, and it should be married soon, the old man is far away, and it is useless for my sister-in-law to think about it, so don't think about it again in the future." ”

The two were talking, Guo Yifeng had already returned with Li Quan, and when He Lin saw this, he hurriedly said: "There are guests coming, then I won't bother, sister-in-law will receive the guests first." ”

Zijuan on the side took the first step and said: "Lord He doesn't have to panic, the two of them are not guests, but just the guys of our matchmaker's shop, Lord He sits with peace of mind, Qianzhou is far away, I am afraid that it will be rare to have a chance to meet again in the future, Lord He takes advantage of this opportunity, just sit for a while and say a few more words to our boss." ”

He Lin agreed, Bai Sujin looked at Guo Yifeng, and asked casually, "Is the matter done?" ”

Guo Yifeng patted his chest and said confidently: "Xiao Guo is out of the horse, a top two, proper." As he spoke, he looked at He Lin again, and asked with a smile: "This son, I heard a sentence just now, you are going to Qianzhou, a place with poor mountains and bad waters, what are you going to do there?" ”

When He Lin heard this, he had to repeat his appointment again, and in the end, He Lin saw that Guo Yifeng's dress was full of luxury, without the slightest look of a buddy.

He Lin couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, turned his head to look at Bai Sujin, and asked, "Sister-in-law, you said he was your buddy in this shop?" ”

"Hmm" Bai Sujin replied concisely, and felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "He is on a mission, so he dresses up a little more." ”

He Lin frowned and said softly, "I have something I want to say to my sister-in-law alone." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zijuan took the lead in laughing and said, "Madam, since Lord He is here, I have to have dinner before leaving, I will go to the kitchen to cook." Guo Yifeng followed and said, "I'll help you." Li Quan was even more accustomed to observing words and feelings, and followed the two into the back hall.

When only He Lin and Bai Sujin were left in the front hall, He Lin was a little annoyed on his face, and said: "I know that after my sister-in-law was suspended, life was not easy, and I was relieved to see that my sister-in-law opened a matchmaker shop." But I never expected that my sister-in-law would make a living in this way, my sister-in-law has always been virtuous, even if she is forced by life, she can't do it. ”

When Bai Sujin heard this, he was confused, what did he do, it was worth He Lin to be so annoyed, so he was very puzzled and asked: "He Lin, what do you have to say, to put it bluntly, I am talking about the matchmaker in a dignified manner, why is it so unpopular?" ”

He Lin said in a deep voice: "Let me ask my sister-in-law, your guy is dressed more brightly than me, what did he do when he went out, I guess my sister-in-law knows better than me in her heart." I thought that my sister-in-law opened a matchmaker shop to hope that there would be lovers in the world who would eventually become dependents, but my sister-in-law hired a handsome man to disguise him, so that he could meet with the girl who sincerely sought his favorite, and deceived the feelings of other girls. ”

Bai Sujin sighed softly, daring to love He Lin for seeing himself as earning money from childcare, it seemed that he needed to explain it to him, but He Lin was a literati, so he blatantly told him that he didn't trust literati, and it was not good after all.

After thinking about it, Bai Sujin actually had a plan, and deliberately said angrily: "He Lin, what do you think of me Bai Sujin, I myself am a person who has been abandoned by others, how can I kill those girls who have no experience in the world." To tell you the truth, that guy was originally a rich young master, and he liked the girl next to me, but that girl didn't seem to like him very much, so he was willing to come to my shop as a buddy in order to get in touch with that girl more. ”

After listening to this explanation, He Lin also felt that it was reasonable, and said a little embarrassedly: "It turns out that I blamed my sister-in-law for it, and I ask my sister-in-law to forgive." ”

Because of curiosity, Guo Yifeng has been hiding by the door of the back hall and eavesdropping, originally he thought that He Lin and Bai Sujin had some improper relationship, and he was alone in the room in order to say some sensual love words. As a result, Guo Yifeng heard such remarks, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart: The proprietress is really a good mandarin duck, I don't know it myself, it turns out that I came to this shop to pursue Zijuan.

Coincidentally, Zijuan happened to come over and heard Bai Sujin's words, mistaken it for true, and was a little embarrassed to purse her lips and smile. Guo Yifeng couldn't listen anymore, so he turned his head suddenly, and his eyes were opposite to Zijuan, only an inch.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, Zijuan was the first to react, I don't know if it was insanity or impulsiveness, he actually kissed Guo Yifeng on the cheek, and before Guo Yifeng could react, Zijuan had already run away with a red face.
