Chapter 12: The Matchmaker
Seeing that her master had been smiling since she got up in the morning, she couldn't help but feel a lot better, she smiled and said, "Miss, are you happy because of yesterday's hexagram?" ”
The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she replied half-loudly: "Maybe......"
Seeing her answer, Honglu smiled happily: "Miss should be happy, now Miss is almost in time, at this time Hongluan Xingdong is really just right, when Miss was ten years old, Honglu thought that the uncle that Miss was looking for must be the top good, Honglu just guarded the young aunt, and when there was a little young master, Honglu would guard the little young master, if Honglu was good, maybe he could still see the little young master born!" ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her whole body danced.
Liu Xuan looked at her longing appearance, and couldn't help laughing, she raised her hand and pinched a handful of red arms: "You, think so far, you just think about me, don't want to think that you are not young anymore, maybe my uncle hasn't found it yet, Miss, I'll marry you first." ”
Honglu rubbed the pinched arm exaggeratedly, and pursed a mouth: "Hongtao don't want to marry!" Hongzhi wants to follow Miss for the rest of her life. She half-squatted down and grabbed Liu Xuan's arm and shook it gently: "Miss is the best, don't drive the red lotus away, just let the red lotus serve you for the rest of your life, okay?" ”
Liu Xuan was shaken by her, although she was smiling on her face, she was embarrassed in her heart, remembering that she was also shaking Li Che's thigh like this yesterday, she didn't feel what she was doing when she did it at the time, she just wanted to please one or two and naturally did it, and now that she thinks about it, isn't this the action of Honglu to be coquettish to herself on weekdays?
It's not good, it's not good, she actually lied to Li Che.
Seeing that Liu Xuan was half loud and unallowed, Honglu shook even more fiercely: "Miss, you quickly agree to Hongmao!" ”
Liu Xuan looked back at the delicate appearance of the red lotus, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder she did it subconsciously, such a coquettish person really couldn't bear to refuse, she took out her arm and lightly scratched the bridge of the red lotus's nose: "Okay, okay, Miss, I promise, but if you meet your sweetheart, don't say Miss, I'll drive you away." ”
Honglu nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Miss, it's enough for Hongtao to guard you...... Well, there is also the future little master. ”
Liu Xuan chuckled and nodded.
The two of them laughed and played and the time passed quickly, not long and more than an hour passed, because the house was a little boring, Hongyuan found a rattan chair and placed it under the tree in the courtyard, Liu Xuan sat on the rattan chair to read, and Hongtao sat aside to do some female red.
There was silence except for the chirping of cicadas and the occasional turning of the pages.
However, this silence did not last long, and a small servant ran all the way into the courtyard: "Miss, Mrs. Xin outside the door asks to see you!" ”
Liu Xuan frowned: "Matchmaker? ”
Different from Liu Xuan's frowning and puzzled, Hongyi's excited voice said: "Miss is a matchmaker!" Come on in! ”
Liu Xuan saw that Honglu had lost the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and obviously couldn't wait, so she said to the little girl: "Invite Mrs. Xin to the hall." ”
As soon as the little servant took the order and left, Honglu impatiently pulled Liu Xuan and was about to walk towards the hall: "Yesterday's hexagram was really good, Miss is really Hongluanxing!" ”
Liu Xuan hurriedly grabbed her: "If you are seen by the matchmaker, you will say that I have no way to discipline Miss, and you will talk behind my back that I am anxious to get married." ”
Hongyi smiled: "Miss, I'm not too happy." ”
Liu Xuan sighed lightly, casually opened the page and read it for a while, and then walked towards the hall with the red lotus that was about to be unbearable, and reminded the red lotus again before entering the hall: "Don't show too much later, if it is too much, you will lose your own face, and it will ruin my name!" ”
This was a bit heavy, and Hongqi hurriedly corrected: "Miss, don't worry, Hongtao is awake." ”
Seeing that she really understood, Liu Xuan raised her feet and walked into the hall.
As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted by a woman with flowers, the woman wore a big red flower, a standard matchmaker dress, as soon as she saw Liu Xuan, the woman smiled and said: "Oh, this is Miss Six, it is really a Peugeot beauty, I have never seen such a beautiful lady as Miss Six when I live so big!" ”
Liu Xuan smiled slightly: "Mrs. Xin praised it." ”
"Miss Six doesn't have to be modest, I never tell lies." Mrs. Xin stepped forward and pulled Liu Xuan's hand affectionately: "Look, this soft little hand is boneless, and I am reluctant to lose it when I hold the old body." ”
Liu Xuan smiled unabated, silently withdrew her hand, sat down in the hall two steps first, and instructed the servant to serve tea to Mrs. Xin, and then met Mrs. Xin's inquiring gaze and said, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Xin coming to the door today?" ”
Mrs. Xin's face became more and more brilliant, and she waved a handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled: "Giggles, I naturally came to the matchmaker, Miss Six may not know, although you only shook your incense in front of the door yesterday and didn't even show your face, you hooked away more than half of the soul of the Zhao family Xiucai in the east, this is not yesterday you just left on the front foot, he found the old body on the back foot, and he must come to visit and propose relatives early this morning!" ”
Liu Xuan turned the tea handed over by Hongyuan, covered the mouth of the cup and said lightly: "Zhao Xiucai in the east? But that Zhao Xiucai, who spent all his father's and brother's money in the Qinglou in January? ”
As soon as her words fell, Mrs. Xin's face froze, she looked at Liu Xuan, the complexion on her old face kept changing, and after half a sound, she suddenly broke a mouthful: "Phew! I didn't expect that Zhao Xiucai was like this, even if he was blind, he didn't mention it. ”
Mrs. Xin was secretly annoyed in her heart, and she didn't know how the sixth miss of the Liu family, who was not out of the door, knew about the absurdity of Zhao Xiucai, but this Miss Liu was indeed a fairy-like appearance, and this Zhao Xiucai was simply a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, so with the appearance of the sixth lady, it was more than enough to be a noble concubine for this high-ranking official and nobleman in Yizhou.
The benefits of finding a beautiful cut for the nobles are much more than the benefits of being a matchmaker for ten trips......
Thinking of this, she smiled again: "Can Miss Six entrust her family affairs to her old body?" The old body will definitely find a match for you! ”
Liu Xuan took a sip of tea and looked at Mrs. Xin and did not answer, just when Mrs. Xin was about to speak again, the little man who guarded the door hurriedly walked in, he bowed and said: "Miss Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhou are all outside the door asking to see you." ”
Liu Xuan frowned, what's wrong today? Why did all the matchmakers in Yizhou come to her house?! This red luan star either doesn't move, and when it moves, it's such a battle?
As soon as Xiaowu's words fell, the face of the matchmaker on the side was not very good, and the original smile could no longer be hung up.
Liu Xuan looked at Mrs. Xin, thought for a moment and said to the little girl: "Invite Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhou to the hall." ”
