Chapter 22: I Will Break Them Apart
Soon after, the news of the emperor's death spread throughout Tengcheng, and the whole city mourned!
A few days later, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world!
After a few more days, Tengcheng returned to its former scene, as if nothing had changed. Although the country has changed owners.
For me, something has changed.
Lord Ding really quit his family, and Lord Liang had to marry his daughter to Zhou Qingyang. I got my wish and became a real matchmaker for a while. Lord Liang didn't bother me either, I think it might be because he was afraid of my father, who was a big official! Maybe he was afraid that one day my father would suddenly come back to me and my mother.
Since I became Liang Wanru's matchmaker, some people have really asked me to be a matchmaker, but they are all small families. They can't afford to spend a lot of money to hire a famous matchmaker like my mother, but they can't do without a matchmaker, so they come to me like me.
Although I didn't become famous overnight as I imagined, I became the first matchmaker in Tengcheng. But after all, all the people in Tengcheng know about me, and I didn't work hard in vain.
I haven't seen Xuan Feilun for a long time, and I heard that Uncle Xuan said that he followed Uncle Feng to Tokyo to dart, of course he is a buddy for darts, just to meet the world. It seems that Uncle Xuan still wants to hide him!
He didn't say goodbye to me when he left, perhaps because he didn't feel the need to say goodbye to me.
Wheels, I miss you so much for a few days. When will you be back? I really want to go out and see it, I'm fifteen years old, and I haven't been out of town yet! I'll go with you next time.
Wheels, you unrighteous person, without you by my side, I wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
I was in a daze when my mother came in from outside. "Xiaoyue, why are you unhappy? Business is not good? ”
I pouted, "Well, I thought that after this time, my reputation would be out, but I didn't expect that only a few people would look for me." ”
My mother touched my head and said earnestly: "Xiaoyue, it is not easy to become a famous matchmaker, and it is not easy for everyone in the city to come to you as a matchmaker. Just like my mother is fortunate to be called the first matchmaker in Tengcheng, it is not something that I got casually, it is something that I work hard to walk the streets and alleys every day, talk hard every day for both sides, and break my heart every day. It's not just about being a matchmaker, it's like doing everything in life, there is no one achievement, only accumulation. Do you understand? ”
Mother, you have a big reason again. I nodded hurriedly and said, "Mother, I understand." ”
The mother boasted: "Our Xiaoyue is the smartest." It's time to cook, what does Satsuki want to eat? ”
"I want to eat braised pork ribs, beef in sauce, chicken thighs, ......"
"I didn't ask." As she spoke, my mother walked to the kitchen, took two steps, seemed to remember something, and came to me again and said, "Have you heard?" Lang Baiyan in the city is getting married again! ”
I was surprised: "Lang Baiyan? Is it Wan Shuangshuang's original husband? ”
"Hmm."
scolded Lang Baiyan in his heart: Lang Baiyan! What a white-eyed wolf! What a scum. If you divorce your wife here, you will marry a new person over there!
"Who was blind and took a fancy to him?" I asked.
The mother shook her head and sighed, "It's the You family not far from us." It's Miss Lian'er, did you bully others when you were a child? ”
"Mother! How can I have! I was coquettish to my mother.
Well, I really bullied her when I was a child, but Lian'er was too honest, and when I bullied her, she would only cry and dare not fight back.
"Lian'er is such a good girl, how can she agree to marry such a person?"
"It's her father and mother who do it! The You family is not greedy for the Lang family's dowry! Which is Lian'er's turn to speak! It's a pity that Lian'er is such an honest child! ”
I pulled my mother's arm, "Mother, you can't promise!" ”
My mother looked at me curiously and said with a smile: "What can't I promise?" ”
"You can't go to Lang Baiyan as a matchmaker to propose marriage to You's family! You can't be this matchmaker! ”
The mother smiled: "I know that our family Xiaoyue is a kind girl. The Kelang family is not looking for me, but someone else. Besides, the You family has already received the dowry from the Lang family, and the two parties have even agreed on the marriage date. ”
No, I'm going to break them up, I'm going to save Lian'er from the sea of suffering!
"Mother, this is unfair to Lian'er, let's go and persuade Lian'er's father and mother to let them quit this family, right?"
The mother sank her face, "'I'd rather demolish ten temples than break a marriage'!" We are matchmakers, how can we break them up? Xiaoyue, you are not allowed to trouble you, do you hear? ”
"I heard you!" Although I promised on my lips, in my heart I had already begun to think about how to break them up, and I must break them up.
Let's not be busy thinking of a way first, let's go and see Lian'er's attitude first. If Lian'er is really willing, then wouldn't I be nosy and thankless?
"Mother, I'll go out for a while."
"It's about to eat, why are you going!"
"I want to go see Lian'er."
The mother nodded, "Well, it's time to see her, you can persuade her." Then let's go after eating. ”
After eating, I wiped my mouth and got up to go out.
"The fire is burning the ass, the fire is burning. Don't go for trouble! ”
I ignored my mother and went out to Lian'er's house.
Lian'er is about the same age as me, she was born very beautiful, and she is a well-behaved and quiet girl. My family is not far from hers, but my relationship with her is not as close as Tang Xin. It's not that I don't like her, it's her mother, who is afraid that I will spoil her daughter and won't let her play with me. Lian'er is such a well-behaved child, she never dares to resist her mother. If such a weak woman really marries a white-eyed wolf, doesn't this mean that she will die? I wonder if Lian'er knows about the bad deeds of the white-eyed wolf?
The You family is a poor family like my family, and it was originally not enough to reach the Lang family, maybe Lang Baiyan saw that Lian'er was good-looking. The You family is greedy for money, and they wish they could have such a good son-in-law.
I went to You's house, and the You family was beaming, especially You Laohan and his daughter-in-law, who were watching the dowry at home, and the family was smiling.
I was disgusted for a while, and I traded my daughter's happiness for money, I bah!
I didn't say hello to them and went straight to Lian'er's room. Lian'er was sitting in front of the window in a daze, her face was not at all happy to be a bride. There was not a trace of blood on his pale face, his eyes were slightly red, and there were some undried tears on his face. She sat still, like a sculpture.
"Lian'er!"
Lian'er didn't seem to hear it, and was still in a daze.
"Lian'er, what do you think, so serious!" I stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
Lian'er was startled by my bluffing, and when she saw that it was me, she said lightly: "Xiaoyue, you are here." ”
"Congratulations!"
Lian'er's face turned red, her eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "You know it too!" ”
I smiled and said, "Who am I, I don't know anything else, I don't know this anymore, how can I be a matchmaker." ”
