"Master Gu is here." Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

When Master Gu saw Guo Xiaoxiao, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Who is this?" ”

Mrs. Guo hurriedly smiled: "The little girl is not sensible, so you can see and laugh." ”

"Oh." Master Gu smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Guo Xiaoxiao.

Guo Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair next to him, and the matchmaker standing opposite him was so familiar, huh? Isn't this a cousin of the Liu matchmaker?

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, this Liu matchmaker stared at the Guo family's piece of fat, but he refused to let it go, and he was stunned to call his relatives to do this marriage and earn the Guo family's matchmaker money.

Mrs. Guo is clumsy, but her Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes are bright.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Who is this mother? ”

"The contemptible surname is Yu." The matchmaker laughed.

Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Yu's mother is really diligent in running errands as a matchmaker. ”

"Alas, it's all for the sake of the young ladies and young masters of each family, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with this old heart."

Guo Xiaoxiao said secretly, bah, bullshit moon old!

"What kind of business does Master Gu have?"

Master Gu said: "My ancestor likes to listen to operas, and he has formed a theater troupe in the past, and now he has opened a theater in Xingdou Lane. ”

"But Jin Ling Theater?"

"Miss Guo knows?"

"Oh." Guo Xiaoxiao said leisurely, "I've been to Xingdou Alley before, and I've heard it once or twice. ”

"If Miss Guo likes to listen to operas, she can come to Jinling Theater at any time, and I will definitely order someone to prepare tea cups and fruit food."

"Thank you Master Gu for your kindness, I'm an outsider, I don't know much about drama, I'm just afraid of making you laugh."

"Hey." Master Gu wholeheartedly comforted, "Miss Guo has read the whole book, both inside and outside, opera and these things must be very easy for you, and you will be able to know the doorway in a few days." ”

"Master Gu praised it falsely, I'm still very interested, it's just that my father is sick in bed, and it's really inconvenient for me to go out."

When Master Gu heard that she had moved Master Guo out, he didn't want to say anything.

Yu Matchmaker saw that the situation was not right, and immediately said: "The coming day is long, and it is not too late to go to the play when Master Guo recovers from his illness." ”

Master Gu echoed: "That's right." ”

Yu Matchmaker smiled: "Master Gu is here to speak for Young Master Gu today. Miss Guo took a look, Master Gu brought all the dowry gifts. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at the big box on the ground, and didn't even walk over to take a look.

Yu Matchmaker said again: "Master Gu heard that Miss Guo is virtuous and virtuous, and she is in the boudoir, and it just so happens that Young Master Gu and the girl at home are of the same age, so he came to the door with a dowry to ask for a kiss." ”

Yu Matchmaker looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and didn't speak, and then looked at Mrs. Guo: "I also told Mrs. Guo about this matter, and Mrs. Guo also agreed with this marriage very much." ”

Mrs. Guo's eyes rolled, and she couldn't laugh at all, but it was not easy to dismantle the matchmaker's table.

Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Matching age does not mean matching personality. ”

Yu Matchmaker said: "Yes, yes, Miss Guo has a gentle temperament, and the young master of the Gu family is a young talent, the two are a match made in heaven, a perfect match!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao pretended to be sad: "My father is lingering on the sickbed today, I think about it, and I am willing to share some pain for my father, but the sky is unsatisfactory, I can only watch him uncomfortable." But as soon as I saw him uncomfortable, my heart was pulled together, and I was not even in the mood to eat. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tears as he spoke: "It's not easy for my father to raise me so much, I just want to be able to serve his old man for a little longer, even if it's just one more day or a moment, it's good......"

Seeing this, the matchmaker was not easy to interject, so he looked at Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo said: "This child has been brought by her father since she was a child, so she always misses her father in her heart." A while ago, his father fainted with a headache, and this girl ran outside to find a doctor to prescribe medicine without saying a word. She was afraid that her subordinates would not be able to do things properly, so she personally went to decoct the medicine and feed the medicine to his father. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao cried even more when he heard Mrs. Guo say this.

Yu Matchmaker thought that Mrs. Guo would help persuade her together, but who knew that Mrs. Guo would pull out those irrelevant things, so that Yu Matchmaker was embarrassed to mention the matter of asking for marriage again.

Master Gu also heard the meaning of Guo Xiaoxiao's words, so he could only leave Guo's mansion with Yu Matchmaker and dowry.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw that Master Gu and Yu Matchmaker had already left, and said to Mrs. Guo: "Mother, you almost agreed to them." ”

Mrs. Guo said apologetically: "I also see that you are old, and if you are delayed year after year, you will really become an old girl." ”

"Dad is still sick, and the embroidery workshop also annoys me, how can I be in the mood to think about these things."

"Naturally, I know that you are not in the mood, so I will not let these things bother you. Just now, Master Gu brought a dowry to sincerely ask for marriage, and Yu Matchmaker is also a good talker, so my mother said that she should consider it. ”

"Ouch, don't talk about that matchmaker." Guo Xiaoxiao was a little angry, "That matchmaker is not a good person!" She was...... She is a relative of the Matchmaker! ”

"Huh?"

"It must have been the matchmaker who stared at our house and asked her to come to our house to say goodbye. The Han family was introduced before, and the Murong family, there is no really good family, have you forgotten it in a blink of an eye? ”

"It's actually a relative of the Liu matchmaker." Mrs. Guo was surprised.

Guo Xiaoxiao sighed: "In the future, when the matchmaker comes again, don't let her enter the door, and there are no other matchmakers Zhang and Zhou!" Their clever mouths, in order to fulfill the family affairs, can't make up anything, don't fall for them! ”

"Okay, my mother knows."

"I'm really afraid that you'll be like last time, and the ghost will send the gods to agree. Now it's inconvenient for Daddy to come forward, and you don't have a clever person around you, so you must be careful. ”

"Okay." Mrs. Guo looked at her sadly.

After the Gu family, several families came to the door to say goodbye. Mrs. Guo excused himself because Mr. Guo was ill and did not see each other. But this evil wind blows like a wave, and it cannot be broken.

The Zhu family and the Su family in Liuli Lane, the Tong family and the Yue family in Xingdou Lane, the four families took turns to fight, and they didn't meet today, and they came again every ten days and half a month.

Among them, the Zhu family is the most diligent, and they have to come to the Guo family every three or five days. Mrs. Guo refused to meet, so the Zhu family sent someone to give gifts, and they would give them once they came. Of course, Mrs. Guo refused, but the Zhu family still gave gifts every time.

The Su family came back every seven or eight days, and the first few times they brought gifts, but Mrs. Guo always refused to accept it, and later she didn't bring it, but she changed it to Lang Zhong, saying that she wanted to take Lang Zhong in to see Master Guo's illness. Mrs. Guo was unwilling, but the Su family still took Lang Zhong with her every time.

The Tong family and the Yue family came once or twice, but they didn't see Master Guo and Mrs. Guo, so they went back.

It is because of these families who want to say goodbye that Guo Xiaoxiao has to avoid walking on the street, either going out at dawn and returning home after dark, or simply not going out.

People say that Guo Xiaoxiao has a good life, he lost Han Tianlei on the front foot, and Jiang Zhiyuan on the back foot, and now there are still so many families who want to marry Guo Xiaoxiao and enter the door as a daughter-in-law. But Guo Xiaoxiao knew in his heart that this was not the case.

At night, Guo Xiaoxiao was in the courtyard to cool off, and Xiaolan came over with a watermelon.

"Fresh watermelon, Miss, try it." Xiaolan placed the dinner plate on the stone table.

Guo Xiaoxiao held a fan in one hand and a watermelon in the other, and said with a smile: "Although the watermelon in early summer is not very ripe, it is also a blessing to be able to eat a few bites." ”

"That's right." Xiaolan grinned, and said after a while, "Miss hasn't been out of the house for several days, and it's not a way to go on like this." ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "That's right, if you want to send this group of old foxes, you have to plan carefully." ”

"If you want me to say, you can find a good family to marry." Xiaolan said while eating, "The Zhu family is the most diligent, and although his third son is a few years older than you, he is smart!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao ate watermelon and didn't say anything.

Xiaolan continued: "Whether it is the son of the Su family, he is full of poetry, and the son of the Tong family and the Yue family is also good, and he is white. ”

"You don't know the depth of the water here." Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at her.

"The depth of the water?"

"Let me ask you, if you come to the door to ask for marriage and eat many closed doors, will you still go?"

"If the girl in that family is beautiful and has a good personality, I will still go."

"Then let me ask you again, the Tong family and the Yue family are also closed, why did they only come once and didn't come?"

"I don't know." Xiaolan shook her head.

Guo Xiaoxiao said carefully: "The Zhu family runs diligently, and brings gifts every time, although my mother refuses to see each other, but when she comes and goes, in the eyes of others, I think that the Guo family and the Zhu family are close." The Zhu family is playing the abacus of public opinion. They just want outsiders to think that we are better with the Zhu family. ”

"But the lord and the lady didn't nod, what's the use of that?"

"You are stupid, the wind is on one side, even if it is fake, it will come true. There are always people who do good things, who like to tell right and wrong, and one person starts to say that the city will be full of wind and rain in a few days. At that time, the Guo family will be tied to the Zhu family even if they die. ”

"Huh?" Xiaolan can't eat the watermelon, "That'...... What about the Su family? ”

"The Su family." Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the Taishi chair, "Mrs. Su is also a smart person, I think I saw through Mrs. Zhu's tricks, so I didn't give this gift twice after giving it, but I brought Lang Zhong when I turned around." On the surface, he was kind enough to see my father, but in fact, he wanted to explore my father's condition. ”

"What is she doing to visit the old man's illness?"

"My father has always spoken in the family. If my father can come forward to meet the guests and fall in love with the Su family, then the Su family doesn't have to make any effort at all. If my father can't say anything, then the Su family will naturally target my mother's soft-hearted person. They just need to salivate, and my mother may agree. ”

"This ...... It is not uncommon for the two families to plan separately for their future daughters-in-law, why should the young lady hide all day long? Looking back to see who wins, won't the young lady be relieved to marry into which family? Why bother here? ”

"What do they want me!" Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaolan, his eyes became fierce, with murderous and angry, "What they want is the Guo family's property!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao shook the fan in his hand and said softly: "Qianqian is now married to a wife, I am the daughter of the family, my father has no children under his knees, and I am the one who inherits the family business." But I am a female doll, as long as I die, all the property of the Guo family as my dowry will fall into their hands. ”

Xiaolan heard her analysis like this, and a trace of fear welled up in her heart.

"My father's illness is in danger, and they are waiting for an opportunity to tear up the big fat meat of our Guo family."
