Two days later, Su Jiu followed Xiao Tingchen to Songshou Courtyard to greet the old lady, and he heard laughter and laughter coming from the main house.

The grandmother who led the way looked at Xiao Tingchen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The fifth son is so blessed, the old lady is the matchmaker herself, and Miss Gu is the daughter of the Gu family in Gusu, and she looks beautiful." ”

Su Jiu has inquired carefully in the past two days, Gusu Gu's family is the old lady's maiden family, and they are in the silk weaving business all year round, and they are the leading wealthy merchants in Gusu.

The thin white fingers couldn't help but stir.

Although the old lady is selfish, the lintel of the Gu family is not low in the end, if the little brother marries Miss Gu, it will be a good thing for him.

Su Jiu was very curious about what that Gu girl looked like, so his heart was extremely excited.

When the maid who was guarding outside the main house saw them coming, she hurriedly opened the curtain and invited them in.

Su Jiu stepped into the threshold, followed Xiao Tingchen through the greetings, looked carefully, and saw a girl snuggled in the old lady's arms.

looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and has a bit of a flamboyant and delicate taste.

The old lady couldn't hide her kindness in her noble state, pointed at Xiao Tingchen and said with a smile: "This is my fifth grandson, who reads very well and looks very good." ”

The girl in her arms raised her eyes shyly and timidly.

bumped into Xiao Tingchen's appearance, he seemed to be very satisfied, and two red clouds immediately appeared on his cheeks, and he fell into the old lady's arms again.

The old lady said to Xiao Tingchen again: "That is your Gu family's aunt." ”

Su Jiu looked quietly, and sure enough, he saw a smiling lady sitting on a circle chair on one side.

Xiao Tingchen saluted the woman, and the old lady said again: "This is your cousin of the Gu family, called Mingyu." ”

Gu Mingyu got up from her arms, greeted Xiao Tingchen, looked up at him boldly, and said in a particularly coquettish voice: "I have heard that my fifth cousin is very good at reading, but when I see it today, my cousin has a gentle bearing, which shows that he has a poetry and book spirit, and he is indeed worthy of the name of a humble gentleman." ”

"My cousin has a good reputation, and Huai Jin deserves it." Xiao Tingchen smiled and arched his hand, "I also heard that there is a pearl in the Gusu Gu family, and her talent and appearance are unique, and when I saw it today, my cousin was eloquent, and Huai Jin admired it." ”

"Alright, alright!" The old lady stopped them with a smile, "It's all my own family, what is there to say about these sour compliments?" ”

"That's it." Aunt Gu shook the fan lightly and said with a smile, "I heard that Huai Jin was sick last winter, so I couldn't catch up with this year's spring. I don't know what kind of disease it is, but now it is better? ”

Xiao Tingchen has already taken his seat.

Su Jiu stood behind him and quietly looked at Aunt Gu, only to see that although she was smiling and talking, her eyes were flashing with essence, and she was carefully looking at her little brother.

Xiao Tingchen smiled, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice, "It's just that the wind and cold have entered the body, and now it can be regarded as a general recovery." ”

Aunt Gu bowed her head, and the smile on Bai Chubby's face immediately became a lot warmer.

……

After returning to Mingde Courtyard, Su Jiu poured tea for Xiao Tingchen and said softly, "What does the little brother think of Miss Gu?" ”

"What does Xiaojiu'er think?"

The young man sat lazily, shook the azure porcelain cup, and always had a casual smile on his red lips.

"I saw that Miss Gu was delicate and cheerful, and she was well-behaved and docile in front of the old lady, which showed that she was a filial and kind-hearted person. In addition, she has a good background and should be a good match for her little brother. ”

"A good match?"

The boy scoffed.
