Chapter 7 Gu Wanyue
"Madam, I heard on the street just now, everyone is rumored that you are a good matchmaker, and you have managed to deal with Liu Gongzi, who is so difficult to handle." Zijuan said happily, "It is estimated that under the influence of this incident, our matchmaker shop will prosper." β
When Bai Sujin heard this, there was a faint worry on his face, and he said suspiciously: "Cheng is good, but I don't know what life will be like after marriage, but according to my judgment, maybe they can become a happy couple in the future." β
The two were talking, only to see two people walking outside the door, it seems, it was a girl ring and a young lady, Yahuan looked mediocre, the young lady was good-looking, behaved generously, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, who is the shopkeeper of the matchmaker shop here?" β
Bai Sujin looked at the appearance of this girl, estimated that she was here to find her favorite person, quickly stood up, greeted her with a smile, and said kindly: "I am the boss lady, I don't know why the girl is here?" β
"My name is Gu Wanyue, I am the daughter of the prefect, and I am here to ask my wife to be a matchmaker."
Bai Sujin hurriedly asked Gu Wanyue to sit down, and then instructed Zijuan to make tea, and said enthusiastically: "It turns out that you are the daughter of the prefect, no wonder you have a natural temperament, I don't know what kind of person Miss wants me to find?" β
At this time, Guo Yifeng came through the hall from the backyard, and when he saw a guest coming from the front hall, he did not shy away from it, and after greeting Gu Wanyue casually, he said to Bai Sujin: "Madam, give me some money, I want to go grocery shopping." β
Gu Wanyue couldn't help but giggle out loud, and quipped: "The boss lady is too strict, since she has such a handsome husband, she will naturally be worried, but it is too harsh not to let her husband take a penny in his hand." β
Guo Yifeng said with a calm face: "Miss will be mistaken, I am a miscellaneous worker in the store, and I am not a husband and wife with the proprietress, besides, where does Miss think I and the proprietress match?" β
Gu Wanyue's eyes swept over the two of them, and said with a smile: "Yes, you look so handsome, I'm afraid that some little girls like you, the boss lady and you are indeed ......" At this point, Gu Wanyue paused, and if she continued, she was afraid that the boss lady would be angry.
Bai Sujin only pretended not to hear Gu Wanyue's words, took out a grain of broken silver, waved his hand, and sent Guo Yifeng to buy vegetables. Then he continued to say calmly: "May I ask what kind of man Miss wants to find, according to Miss's identity, ordinary people are not worthy of Miss." β
Gu Wanyue hadn't spoken yet, but the maid ring beside her was the first to speak: "The boss lady is reasonable, but it's a pity that our young lady is bent on going to ordinary people's homes." β
Gu Wanyue glanced at Yahuan and said angrily: "You girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable, see if I go back and don't beat you." β
Hearing this, Bai Sujin guessed that Gu Wanyue already had a man she liked, but this man should be from a humble background, so even the maids around her felt that she was secretly invested in the pearl, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Gu Wanyue said leisurely: "Here's the thing, I already have a crush, his name is Luo Chen, the literature is excellent, my father invited him to live in the house to teach his younger brother's schoolwork, and in the same house, we will inevitably meet, after a long time of contact, I found that I was in love with him, so I told my father that I wanted to marry Luo Chen." As a result, my father didn't agree and drove Luo Chen out. I know that you are the best at talking to the matchmaker, and I also ask the proprietress to help, if you can persuade my father, Wanyue will be grateful. β
It's another clichΓ© story of a rich daughter falling in love with a poor scholar, according to the basic routine of romance novels, after the rich daughter falls in love with a poor scholar, the rich daughter's parents must be strongly opposed, and the two must go through a lot of hardships, and the final ending must be together!
However, since Bai Sujin was deeply hurt by the scumbag Li Chengze, he has a deep prejudice against literati. Therefore, I am not optimistic about this kind of love in my heart.
Bai Sujin asked lightly: "Miss, can you think clearly, if you love that son named Luo Chen with all your heart, and your father just doesn't agree to you being together, what should you do?" β
Gu Wanyue said almost without thinking: "I don't want Luo Chen to marry in my life, if my father insists on refusing, then I would rather die than marry someone else, I believe Luo Chen and I have the same mind." β
Bai Sujin disagreed, and persuaded very rationally: "Miss was born in a family of eunuchs, and she must have read a lot of books and knew a lot of drama books. The story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru in the Western Han Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and everyone praises it, and there are also stories of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui in the playbook, I don't know what the girl thinks? β
Gu Wanyue looked solemn and said with a straight face: "They are all strong women who are loyal to love, and they are willing to give up wealth and glory for the sake of love, and they are the examples I want to follow." β
Bai Sujin sneered a few times, looked at Gu Wanyue, and said in her heart: In this world, whether modern or ancient, there will always be women who are addicted to illusory love and can't extricate themselves!
Gu Wanyue asked suspiciously, "Boss, what are you laughing at?" β
Bai Sujin said frankly: "Miss Xiao was confused by the surface of these love stories and lost her inner judgment. Zhuo Wenjun is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, abandoning her wealth and wealth, and following Sima Xiangru to sell wine, as a result, Sima Xiangru was once reused by the imperial court, and she had the idea of divorce her wife. β
Gu Wanyue heard this, pondered for a long time, and said: "You can't say that, there are always good men in the world who are worthy of entrusting for life, just like Wang Baochuan, who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, Xue Pinggui has not changed his mind, and finally Wang Baochuan has worked hard and became the queen." β
Bai Sujin pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "Then when Xue Pinggui went to Xiliang, when he was a concubine, and he was in love with Princess Daizhan, did you ever think of Wang Baochuan who was guarding in the cold kiln, for a full eighteen years, a woman's life is several eighteen years, even if Xue Pinggui later made Wang Baochuan the queen out of uneasy conscience, but the original affection has long ceased to exist. β
Gu Wanyue's face changed slightly, but she said firmly: "No matter what, I believe that Luo Chen will not fail me, he told me that he loves me, and I will not marry in this life, and I also told him that if my father and mother do not agree with us being together, I will force each other to die." β
Bai Sujin has read too many romance novels, and it is not uncommon for this kind of bridge to be seen, but these words are really spoken by an official lady who has read poetry and books and is familiar with etiquette, and she is still a little surprised.
"Miss, the matchmaker shop must be serious and responsible for every guest, and I just want to find someone who is truly worthy of staying with you for a lifetime. Since you believe in Luo Gongzi so much, it is better for me to test it, if Luo Gongzi is really sincere to you and has no regrets, I will definitely be able to persuade Ling Zun to agree to your marriage. β
"Temptation?" Gu Wanyue smiled confidently: "Luo Chen is sincere to me, there is no need to test at all, I believe in him." β
Yahuan on the side said in time: "Miss, what the boss lady said also has some truth, if under the temptation, Luo Gongzi is still in love with Miss, then Miss is also the right person, if under the temptation, Luo Gongzi changes his mind, and can also let Miss get lost as soon as possible." β
Gu Wanyue's mind was a little loose after saying this, and after thinking about it, she asked, "How to tempt?" β
